Good Morning,

The Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR), received a complete State Stormwater Notice of Intent
(NOI) for the subject project on December 16, 2021. Staff review of the plans and specifications has determined that the
project, as proposed, will comply with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as
amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules and Regulations promulgated and adopted by the North Carolina
Environmental Management Commission. We are forwarding Permit No. SWG040136, dated January 31, 2022, for the
construction, operation and maintenance of the subject project and the stormwater system. This permit shall be
effective from the date of issuance and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein, and does
not supersede any other agency permit that may be required.

The original signed permit package and plans are being mailed to the permittee, Jaime Laughter, at the following
address (NOTE: An electronic version of this permit can be found in our online repository:
https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/WaterResources/Browse.aspx?id=494276&dbid=0&repo=WaterResources):

Transylvania County
Attn: Jaime Laughter, Transylvania County Manager
101 S. Broad Street
Brevard, NC 28712

I will hold onto our hard copy of this project for 30 days (in case any issues/typos with the permit are noticed and
corrections need to be made) after which point, it will be kept on file at the Asheville Regional Office. If you have any
questions, or need additional information concerning this matter, please contact me at [e-mail].

Thank you,

Good Afternoon,

We received your post-construction stormwater permit application for the above mentioned project on 12/16/2021.
Reviews under the standard permitting process generally take 30 – 45 calendar days, but can take up to 90 calendar
days per statute (our other reviewer, Corey Anen, no longer works for the State, so this review will probably be closer to
45 days than 30). 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.

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. 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.

Please type in permit #: SWG040136

If you have any questions, please contact Jim Farkas [e-mail] 919-707-3646.

Thank you,
