Good A?ernoon,

The Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR), received a complete Stormwater Management Permit

and does not supersede any other agency permit that may be required.

The original signed permit package and approved plans are being mailed to the permi?ee, Debra Stewart, at the
following address (NOTE: An electronic version of this permit can be found in our online repository:

PO BOX 1743
Dunn, NC 28334

We will hold onto our hard copy of this project for 30 days (in case any issues/typos with the permit are no?ced and
correc?ons need to be made) a?er which point, it will be kept on file at the Faye?eville Regional Office. If you have any
ques?ons, or need addi?onal informa?on concerning this ma?er, please contact us at postconstruc?[e-mail].

Reminder: Please be aware that per 15A NCAC 02H .1044(2), the Erosion & Sediment Control (E&SC) permit for this site
cannot be closed out un?l the as-built stormwater plans for this project are approved by our office.

Good Morning,

We received your post-construc?on stormwater \[Authoriza?on to Construct (ATC)\] permit applica?on for the subject
project on 9/26/2023. Reviews under the Fast-Track permi?ng process can take up to 30 calendar days to complete.
You can see where this project stands in the review queue by emailing Jim Farkas (He has an autoreply set up that has

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please ensure that each file is uploaded under its appropriate file type. Addi?onal file types can be
entered into the electronic form by clicking on the “Add Another Post-Construc?on File Upload” link directly below the
“State Stormwater Informa?on Uploads” sec?on of the form. YOU MUST CLICK ON THE “ADD ANOTHER POST-
CONSTRUCTION FILE UPLOAD” TO ADD ADDITIONAL FILE TYPES TO THE SUBMISSION. Merely changing the file type
dropdown as you upload the various files (without adding addi?onal file uploads) will upload all of the files as the last
file type selected, the submission will get flagged during review, and you will need to resubmit the files. Please do not
upload en?re plan sets through this form, but rather upload the relevant individual sheets under the appropriate file

expedite the review process. NOTE: We do not require and we discourage the upload/submission of extraneous plan

Good A?ernoon,

We received your application for a new Fast-Track post-construction stormwater permit on 9/20/23. At this time, the
submission is not administratively complete and cannot be accepted for review in its current condition. Please provide
the following submittal items by close of business on 9/27/2023 so that we may accept the project and begin the review
process, otherwise, the project will be returned as administratively incomplete.
 1x hard copy of the Application with the following corrections made (These items are required per 15A NCAC
02H .1043(3)(a) and per Section F of the Application):
 Section G – Please provide the applicant’s/financially responsible party’s original, notarized and sealed
signature in this section of the Application. NOTE: I apologize that this comment was left off our last
correspondence. I am granting you a week’s extension (due 9/27/23) in order to get this and the
additional comment in. NOTE: Of the 2 copies that we received originally, only one was an original for
the applicant.
 2x hard copies and 1x electronic copy of a construc?on sequence that discusses how any future development on
the project may be phased. This is required per 15A NCAC 02H .1043(3)(g) and per Sec?on F, 5 of the
Applica?on. The construc?on sequence does not need to be lengthy, just a brief descrip?on of how future
development on the project (beyond what is shown on the plans) will be phased. If no future development is
planned for the project, you can simply state that in the construc?on sequence. This item is different than the
E&SC sequence of construc?on.

NOTE: This is an administrative completeness review, not a detailed engineering review, there may be other issues that
may be brought up during the engineering review.

If these items are received within the stipulated timeframe, we can accept the project and begin the review process.
Once accepted, reviews under the Fast-Track permitting process can take up to 30 calendar days per statute.
