Subject: Request for Additional Information
Stormwater Permit No. SW6200204
Midway Plaza
Hoke County
Dear Mr. Rose:
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), received a Stormwater
Management Permit Application for the subject project on February 25, 2020. A review of that
information has determined that the application is not complete. The following information is
needed to continue the stormwater review:
Based on the information provided with this submittal, this project meets the definition of
"Redevelopment" (15A NCAC 02H .1002(41)). Redevelopment is defined as, "Any land -
disturbing activity that does not result in a net increase in built -upon area and that
provides greater or equal stormwater control to that of the previous development. " Since
the project results in a net decrease in BUA (92,834 sf of total on -site BUA pre -
construction per plan sheet SP1 and 69,676 sf of total on -site BUA post -construction per
plan sheet SP6, which results in a net decrease of 23,158 sf of BUA) and provides equal
or greater stormwater control (Provided through the reduction in on -site BUA and the
inclusion of an infiltration basin). Per 15A NCAC 02H .1001(1)(f), State post -
construction stormwater management rules do not apply to redevelopment projects and
therefore, a post -construction stormwater permit is not required. There are 2 options for
how to proceed:
a. Option 1 — Rescind the State post -construction stormwater permit application
since the permit is not required. NOTE: By law, the $505 permit review fee is
non-refundable (15A NCAC 02H .1042(2)).
b. Option 2 - Get a State post -construction stormwater permit for the site to treat
future BUA associated with Phase 2 of the project. To do this, you will need to
provide quantity and location information for the future Phase 2 BUA. Please
email me if you would like more information on this option.
