be required.

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

correc?ons need to be made) a?er which point, it will be kept on file at the Raleigh Regional Office. If you have any

Good Morning,

We received your post-construction stormwater permit application for the subject project on 10/13/23. Reviews under
the Standard permitting process can take up to 90 calendar days to complete. You can see where this project stands in
the review queue by emailing [e-mail] (We have an autoreply set up that has the review queue on
it). 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.

https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/SW-Supplemental-Upload

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. 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 additional 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 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. NOTE: We do not require and we discourage the upload/submission of extraneous plan
sheets (such as lighting plans, utility plans, striping plans, sight distance plans, etc…) as these files are not needed for
review.

Please type in permit #: SW5231002

This project will be reviewed by Jim Farkas, if you have any questions, please contact them at
[e-mail] or at 919-707-3646.

Thank you,

Can you please clarify how our %impervious is calculated incorrectly? The 1.65 acre site contains 0.63 acres of
impervious = 38%.

Thanks.

submission is not administratively complete and cannot be accepted for review in its current condition. Please provide
the following submittal items within 30 calendar days (by close of business on 11/11/23) so that we may accept the
project and begin the review process, otherwise, the project will be returned as administratively incomplete.
 1x application fee check in the correct amount (this item is required per Session Law 2023-134, Section
12.14(e)(2)):
 Please be aware that, effective October 3, 2023, our permit application fee structure is as follows:
 New Permit or Major Modification for a project with one (1) or fewer SCMs = $1,000
 New Permit or Major Modification for a project with two (2) SCMs = $1,250

process your application. We will void and return the provided application fee check to the
permittee (unless a different return address is indicated by close of business tomorrow).

02H .1042(2)(a) and per Section VI, 1 of the Application):
