Can you please reach out to the designer and ask that they provide the Filterra Analysis of Long-Term Performance (it is
mentioned in the response to comments, but I don’t seem to have it)?

Can you also please draft up permits for Kerns Ridge, Parkwood Electrical Substation, and Stonebow? They are just
about ready to go (hopefully I’ll be able to review/issue them on Friday).

Thanks,

As long as Contech OK’d the design and there are site specific constraints (i.e. hitting the existing invert) that
necessitated the variations, it should be OK (both of those MDCs have some added flexibility in them per the Manual).

Please provide the email from Contech stating that they are OK with the design (I believe that you had previously sent
me this email, just upload an electronic copy to the portal and provide a hard copy to stick in with the permit) and
indicate on the Supplement-EZ Form that these design parameters differ from the MDC, but the design was approved by
Contech (so there is no confusion in the future).

Jim,

Unfortunately due to the lead times we had to order these units a couple of months ago and I believe they’ve just been
delivered to the site. We had Contech customize the design to work with the invert on the existing catch basin we’re
tying into. Please see attached email and documentation from Contech. We may be able to drop the entire unit a couple
of inches in the field to achieve 9” of ponding if needed. Let me know if this is acceptable and I’ll get the revised
Supplement EZ form submitted.

Thanks,
Ethan

Ethan,

I was looking over the additional information you provided on June 1, 2023. Everything looks good except for a few small
issues:

Please correct the following:
- Filterra MDC 2 – Per the provided detail on plan sheet C6.0, there only appears to be about 6” of ponding
provided between the top of the media layer and the invert of the curb opening to the SCM (any ponding in
excess of the invert of the curb opening to the SCM appears to bypass the SCM and go to the existing catch
basin). The MDC requires 9” of ponding be provided above the media layer. Please revise as needed. NOTE: The
3

depth of storage provided above the media surface (Line 19 on the Filterra page of the Supplement-EZ Form)
shows 12” of ponding. Please revise as needed.
- Filterra MDC 4 – Per the provided detail on plan sheet C6.0, the media depth is shown to be 1’3” (15”) whereas
the MDC requires 21” (1’9”) of media. Please revise as needed.

Please provide the following:
- 1x hard copy & 1x electronic copy of the revised pages of the Supplement-EZ Form.
- 2x hard copies & 1x electronic copy of the revised plan sheets.
- 1x hard copy (2x hard copies for plan sheets) & 1x electronic copy of the revised pages of anything else needed
to address these comments.

Hard copies should be mailed to me at the following address:
For FedEx/UPS:

512 N. Salisbury Street, Office 640M
Raleigh, NC 27604

For USPS:
Jim Farkas
1612 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1612

Hand Delivery:
Please reach out to me prior to hand delivering a submission to make sure that I (or someone else in my group)
will be able to receive the submission. Do not leave the package in the foyer with the security guard.

NOTE: Hard copies should not be sent to a Regional Office. Doing so will delay the review process and the
submission package may be lost while being sent from the Regional Office to me in the Central Office.

Electronic copies should be uploaded at the following location:
https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/SW-Supplemental-Upload

Since these are really minor things, once I get the hard copies, anything else that may have changed from addressing
these issues, and the documents are uploaded to Laserfiche (Provided everything is still in order), we can issue the
permit without doing another formal review.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Ethan,

I was looking over the additional information you provided on February 15, 2023. Everything looks good except for a few
small issues:

Please correct the following:
- Please permit the proposed Filterra units as two separate SCMs as they do not appear to contain a mechanism
that would allow for the free movement of untreated stormwater runoff between the units. For example, if the
ponding zones (area above the media layer where untreated stormwater runoff is stored before filtering
through the media) of the two proposed Filterra units were connected by a pipe with a zero percent slope, such
that untreated stormwater could freely pass between the two units, then you would be allowed to permit these
two units as a single SCM (since they would function as a single unit). However, based on the provided
configuration, these two SCMs would function independently. Please revise as needed.
- Please include the elevation for either the top or invert of the Filterra units, the elevation of the planting
surface, and the elevation of any bypass inverts in the main set of plans. This item is required per 15A NCAC 02H
.1042(2)(h)(i).
- Filterra MDC 8 – Please clarify how the Filterra units will be designed to be offline. The proposed design appears
to show the Filterra units in a sump area and that the units will receive runoff from the parking area that will
only be bypassed around the SCM if the ponding in the parking lot overtops the curb and gutter (The proposed
rim elevation of the existing catch basin is shown as 97.11’ which appears to be higher than the surrounding
curb and gutter). If using the existing catch basin to bypass any stormwater runoff in excess of the design
volume/design ponding depth (Filterra MDC 2), please indicate this in the plans. Please revise as needed.

Please provide the following:
- 1x hard copy & 1x electronic copy of the revised pages of the Supplement-EZ Form.
- 1x hard copy & 1x electronic copy of the revised pages of the Application.
- 1x hard copy & 1x electronic copy of the revised pages of the O&M Agreement Form. NOTE: You may wish to get
a second original signed hard copy of this form for the Applicant’s record as this will be needed when recording
the O&M Agreement with the register of deeds.
- 1x hard copy & 1x electronic copy of the revised pages of the calculations.
- 2x hard copies & 1x electronic copy of the revised plan sheets.
- 1x hard copy (2x hard copies for plan sheets) & 1x electronic copy of the revised pages of anything else needed
to address these comments.

Hard copies should be mailed to me at the following address:

Good afternoon,

We received your post-construction stormwater permit application for the above mentioned project on 10/25/2022.
Reviews under the standard permitting process generally take 75 calendar days, but can take up to 90 calendar days per
statute (our other reviewer, Corey Anen, no longer works for the State, so this review may exceed 75 days). Please
upload all documents that you mailed into our office through the link provided below. Be sure to choose the Central
Office as the Primary Contact office.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please ensure that each file is uploaded under its appropriate file type. Additional file types can be
entered into the electronic form by clicking on the “Add Another Post-Construction File Upload” link directly below the
“State Stormwater Information Uploads” section of the form. Please do not upload entire plan sets through this form,
but rather upload the relevant individual sheets under the appropriate file type. Selecting the correct file type ensures
that the files are properly named in the electronic repository and it helps expedite the review process.

Please type in permit #: SW6221006
