BISER Secretary BRIAN WRENN Director Jeremy Keeny, PE 5605 Chapel Hill Road, Suite 112 Raleigh, NC 27505 AND R&R Development Group of NC, LLC Attn: Rob Bailey 1611 Jones Franklin Road, Suite 101 Raleigh, NC 27606 NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality December 6, 2021 Subject: Request for Additional Information Stormwater Permit No. SWA000119 Duncan's Creek Harnett County Dear Mr. Keeny and Mr. Bailey: The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), received a Stormwater Management Authorization to Construct (ATC) Permit Application for the subject project on November 18, 2021. A review of that information has determined that the application is not complete. The following information is needed to continue the stormwater review: Per our earlier phone conversation, the plan for this project is to transfer ownership of the property from the current Property Owner to the Developer/Applicant (the current Property Owner does not wish to sign the Property Owner's authorization portion of the Application) and then issue the permit to the new Property Owner (the Developer/Applicant). Addressing the following comments will get this submission into a "ready to issue" state and the permit will be able to be issued once we receive proof of the change in property ownership. 2. Part C2 — Please indicate the applicable stormwater post -construction program for this project. It appears as though the majority of this site is subject to the Phase 2 rules, however, there appears to be a small portion of the property (the northeastern corner of the property near lot 1) that is located within a water supply watershed. Please reach out to Harnett County to see if they will need to also review the post -construction stormwater for this project (In situations like this where the majority of the site is located within the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources 512 North Salisbury Street 1 1612 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1612 NORTH CAROLINA _ oepm nt of EnvimnmwUl uwl ry 919.707.9200 State's jurisdiction, a portion of the site is located within a local jurisdiction, and the rules are fairly similar between the two jurisdictions, the local jurisdiction may be OK with just the State performing the review, but they may also require that they do a concurrent review, you need to verify with them). Please provide Harnett County's response to this inquiry with the resubmission. 3. Part D3 — Please change the Applicant from the Developer to the Property Owner (in anticipation of the property transfer from the current Property Owner to the Applicant). 4. Part D4 — In anticipation of the property transfer from the current Property Owner to the Applicant, the Property Owner information is not needed. 5. Part E5 — Based on the provided USGS topographic map, the on -site surface water area shown in this part of the Application appears to be less than what is actually on -site. The area between the banks of any blue line rivers/streams (whether they are permanent or ephemeral) and the normal pool surface area of any lakes/ponds that show up on the USGS topographic map are considered as on -site surface waters. Please revise as needed. 6. Part F3 — Please show the extents of the project area on the provided USGS topo maps. 7. Part F4 — Please clearly show the required vegetated setbacks/buffers from the on -site surface waters on the site plan. Vegetated setback requirements can be found in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(4) and .1017(10). NOTE: The ATC review is mostly an administrative review, we do not require full plan sets at this point in the review process. 8. Part F6 — Please update this information once the property transfer has been finalized. 9. Part F9 — In anticipation of the property transfer from the current Property Owner to the Applicant, the Property Owner agreement information is not needed. 10. Provide pdfs of all revisions, 2 hardcopies of revised plan sheets, 1 hardcopy of other documents, and a response to comments letter briefly describing how the comments have been addressed. a. Pdfs must be uploaded using the form at: https:,[/edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/SW-Supplemental-Upload b. Hard copies must be mailed or delivered to the following address: i.

The requested information should be received by this Office prior to January 5, 2022, or the application will be returned as incomplete. The return of a project will necessitate resubmittal of all required items, including the application fee. Please reference the State assigned project number SWA000119 on all correspondence.
