We received it on Monday. I'll probably go into the office tomorrow to get my mail and I should have something for you
soon thereafter.

Beth,
I was looking over the additional information you provided on January 21, 2021. Everything looks good except for a few
small issues:
Please correct the following:
- There is a discrepancy between the project area listed in the Supplement-EZ Form (746,182.8 sf, Drainage Area
Page, Line 5) and the project area listed in the Application (746,088 sf, Section IV, 10). Please revise as needed
for consistency. The "total drainage area" value of the "entire site" column is taken to be the project area so
these values should be the same (You may also need to update Line 6).
- Typically, there is no off -site drainage area component for low -density projects (Supplement-EZ Form, Drainage
Area Page, Line 7).

Per 15A NCAC 02H .1003(4)(e), untreated stormwater is required to be released as dispersed flow at the edge of
the vegetated setback (Supplement-EZ Form, Low Density Page, Line 12). If stormwater is released from the
edge of the pavement as dispersed flow and there are no constructed vegetated conveyances/collection system,
you can assume that the flow will enter the vegetated setbacks as dispersed flow since the flow is mimicking
existing conditions.
Per 15A NCAC 02H .1003(5), stormwater outlets are required to be designed so that there is no downslope
erosion (Supplement-EZ Form, Low Density Page, Line 13). If there are no outlets you can put "N/A".
Please provide the following:
- 1x hard copy of the revised Supplement-EZ Form pages.
- 1x full electronic copy of the revised Supplement-EZ Form.
- 1x hard copy of the revised Application page (if required).
- 1x full electronic copy of the revised Application (if required).
Hard copies should be mailed to me at the following address:
512 N. Salisbury Street
1612 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1612
Electronic copies should be uploaded at the following location:
https://edocs.deg.nc.gov/Forms/SW Project Submittal
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 30-45 day review.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Good Afternoon,
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), received a Stormwater Management Permit Application
for the subject project on November 30t", 2020. A review of that information has determined that the application is not
complete. Attached is a letter describing the items that need to be submitted. If you have any questions, please feel free
to contact me. My contact information is listed below (I'll be teleworking so email is the preferred way to reach me).
NOTE: Subsequent reviews will be much quicker as the issues with the submittal are very minor.
Thank you,
