This includes submitting a complete application package with the appropriate fee Additionally, if you do resubmit, your stormwater plan must adhere to the stormwater regulations in effect at the time you reapply. The stormwater management plans shall be approved in writing by this Office before the impacts specified in this Certification occur. You have the option of using the Express Review Program for expedited approval of these plans. If you propose to use the Express Review Program, remember to include the appropriate fee with the plan. The stormwater management plan must include plans, specifications, and worksheets for stormwater management facilities that are appropriate for the surface water classification and designed to remove at least 85% TSS according to the most recent version of the NC DENR Stormwater Best Management Practices Manual.
