Request for Information: POST-CONSTRUCTIONSTORMWATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Dear Mr. Whittington:
On December 13, 2010, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) received a set of approved
Erosion and Sediment Control (E&SC) Plans and design calculations from Mr. Mitchell Baker,
Sr. of MLB Engineering for review and approval as a post-construction Stormwater Management
Plan (SMP) for your project. Please note that E&SC plan is different from post-construction
SMP, and that the approved E&SC does not authorize you to place any fill in or otherwise
impact a stream or wetland. Even though your impacts are under the threshold for a 401 Water
Quality Certification, a SMP permit or approval is required before any impact could occur.
Please be advised that, as of today, Lincoln County is not delegated by DWQ to review
and approve SMPs. As a result, submit a complete SMP to DWQ for review within 15 days of
the date of this letter since this would be permitted after-the-fact. Failure to comply with this
SMP requirement will result in a recommendation to the Director of DWQ for notice of violation
and subsequent enforcement action.
You have the option of using the Express Review Program to expedite your permit
application. All information about what you need to include in the submittal package and the
Express Review process and fees can be found at httv://vortal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ws/401.
Your selected stormwater best management practices (BMPs) shall treat the entire site
and, at a minimum, achieve 85% TSS removal efficiency. The SMP shall include design
calculations, full size plans and all supporting documents and items listed in the Required Items
Checklist including the applicable BMP Supplement Form(s) and Operation and Maintenance
Agreements available at httv://I)ortal.ncdenr.orgLweb/wq/ws/su/bmp-manual.
