See 15A NCAC 02H .1003(3)(a), .1002(43), &.1002(44).
Runoff Treatment and Runoff Volume Matching are two different methods to meet treatment requirements for a
project. Runoff Treatment is the more common method that almost everyone uses (capturing and treating the 1.0"
storm). Runoff Volume Matching is relatively newer method and requires the Annual Runoff Volume (runoff produced
from the entire site over the course of an average year)to not increase by more than 10%from pre-development
conditions and can typically only be achieved by infiltrating stormwater runoff. We've only ever permitted a handful of
these types of permits.

Good Morning Jim,
I hope you are doing well today!
I would like to clarify with you one of your comments below:
1

o As-Built Designer's Certification for General MDCs,Treatment Requirements, Items 1 &2—An SCM is
required to meet either runoff treatment or runoff volume match (they are mutually exclusive). Please
revise as needed.
General MDC 1. Sizing refers to Part B on how to calculate the volume of stormwater runoff. We also use the equations
from the Simple Method for Runoff Volume. In addition, we are treating the 1" design storm event as it draws down
between 2-5 days.
Required WQv Storage Volume
Design Storm = 1 inch Non-Coastal County
Determine Rv Value = 0.05 + .009 (1) = 0.705 in/in
Storage Volume Required = 3,139 cf above Permanent Pool
Can you please clarify why both of these requirements are not being satisfied?
Thanks,
Carlo Pardo, PE

You can do either, but you are not required to reference the O&M on the plat(that is only required for subdivision
plats).The easiest way to handle this would probably be to revise the certification. You would need to get the document
signed again.

Jim,
I received this email that you sent below concerning the Dollar General in Middlesex, NC. For comment#2, are you
saying the O&M agreement book and page needs to be on the recorded plat or do I need to change the As-Built
Permittee Certification to NA?
If it is a change to NA, do I need to get the document signed again or can I just edit the currently signed document?

Mr. Dunn,
If you would like us to come out and inspect the site for compliance prior to the transfer being approved, please reach
out to our staff in the Raleigh Regional Office (https://www.deg.nc.gov/about/contact/regional-offices/raleigh-regional-
office#EnergyMineralandLandResources-3553)to schedule an inspection (please also let us know if you are requesting
an inspection).
Matt,
I was looking over the additional information you provided on October 27, 2023. Everything looks good except for a few
small issues:
Please correct the following:
• Please correct the following items with the certification forms (required per Part C.6. of the Transfer Application
and 15A NCAC 02H .1045(2)(f) &.1042(4)(a)):
o As-Built Permittee Certification:
■ Deed Restrictions/BUA Records, Items 1-3—Deed restrictions are not required for single lot
commercial projects. Please change these items from "Y"to "N/A".
3

■ Operation and Maintenance Agreement, Item 1—The O&M Agreement does not appear to be
referenced on the plat(Bk: 43, Pg: 296).The O&M Agreement is only required to be referenced
on subdivision plats.
o As-Built Designer's Certification for General MDCs,Treatment Requirements, Items 1 & 2—An SCM is
required to meet either runoff treatment or runoff volume match (they are mutually exclusive). Please
revise as needed.
• Please upload the electronic files associated with this transfer application to our upload portal at
https://edocs.deg.nc.gov/Forms/SW-Supplemental-Upload. Currently, we only have the As-Built Designer's
Certification for General MDCs
Please provide the following:
• 1x hard copy & 1x electronic copy of the revised certification forms.
• 1x hard copy (2x hard copies for plan sheets) & 1x electronic copy of any other items needed to address these
comments.
Hard copies should be mailed to me at the following address:
For Fed Ex/UPS:
Jim Farkas
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.deg.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.The quickness of the next review for this project is dependent on reviewer
availability.
Let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks,

Good Morning,
We received your post-construction stormwater permit transfer application for the subject project on 10/27/23.
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.deg.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#: SW5211201
This project will be reviewed by Jim Farkas, if you have any questions, please contact them at
[e-mail] or at 919-707-3646.

Good morning,
I believe these are the documents that you are requesting. Please let me know if this is correct.Typically our engineers
submit these packets for us upon project completion, so I am not completely familiar with the full packet of documents.
I am happy go gather whatever information is needed if this is incorrect.
