Good Afternoon,

The Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR), received a complete, Stormwater Management Permit
Application for the subject project on February 22, 2022. Staff review of the plans and specifications has determined
that the project, as proposed, will comply with the Stormwater Regulations set forth in Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000 - 1062
rules. We are forwarding Permit No. SW5211201, dated March 4, 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
permits that may be required.

The original signed permit package and plans are being mailed to the permittee, George Barnes, Jr., 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):

Glandon Forest Equity, LLC, Purchaser
Attn: George Barnes, Jr., Member Manager
3825 Barrett Drive, Suite 100
Raleigh, NC 27609

An original signed hard copy of the cover letter and permit (attached) will be mailed to the current property owner,
Deborah Morgan, at the following address:

Morgan Properties, LLC, Current Property Owner
Attn: Deborah Morgan, Member Manager
5904 Morgan Road
Bailey, NC 27807

I will hold onto our hard copies of these projects for 30 days (in case any issues/typos with the permit are noticed and
corrections need to be made) after which point, they will be kept on file at the Raleigh 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 12/21/2021.
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.

https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/SW-Supplemental-Upload

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 #: SW5211201

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

Thank you,

Good Afternoon,

We received your application for a new post-construction stormwater permit on 12/13/2021. At this time, the
submission is not administratively complete and cannot be accepted for review in its current condition. Please provide
the following submittal items within 30 calendar days (by close of business on 1/12/2021) so that we may accept the
project and begin the review process, otherwise, the project will be returned as administratively incomplete.

- Please provide a phone number and email address for the property owner (Section III, 2b of the Application). We
use this information to get a hold of the property owner if we need to with regard to the permit and we also
send an electronic version of the final permit to the property owner for their records.
- 1x original hard copy of the O&M Agreement From (Available here: https://deq.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-
mineral-and-land-resources/stormwater/stormwater-program/stormwater-design). This item is required per
Section VI, 3 of the Application and 15A NCAC 02H .1042(2)(j).
- 1x hard copy of the pending sales agreement. This item is required per Section III, 1c of the Application and 15A
NCAC 02H .1042(2)(c).
3

- 2x hard copies of a full-sized plan sheet showing the following (NOTE: Only updated plan sheets need to be
provided, we do not require brand new sets of plans):
o Drainage area map for the proposed wet pond. This item is required per Section VI, 8o of the Application
and 15A NCAC 02H .1042(2)(g)(iv). It is noted that drainage area maps are provided in the stormwater
report, however this requirement specifies that the drainage area maps should be provided as part of
the full sized plan set.
o Project boundary delineated with bearings and distances. This item is required per Section VI, 8i of the
Application and 15A NCAC 02H .1042(2)(g)(ii). It is noted that part of the project boundary is
dimensioned with bearings and distances, however the proposed property line is not.

NOTE: This is an administrative completeness review, not a detailed engineering review. The following items were noted
during this review, but do not need to be addressed for this submission to be administratively complete and accepted
for review (but these issues, and possibly others, will probably be brough up during the engineering review):
- The receiving water (Section IV, 10 of the Application) appears to be incorrect. This information can be found at
the following address:
https://ncdenr.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=6e125ad7628f494694e259c80dd64265
- For future reference, please do not send these submissions to the Raleigh Regional Office, but rather to the
Central Office (address below). Sending the submission package to the wrong address can delay the review
process (for example, the Raleigh Regional Office received this submission on November 19, 2021 but it did not
get sent over to me until today).

If these items are received within the stipulated timeframe, we can accept the project and begin the review process.
Once accepted, reviews under the standard permitting process generally take 30 – 45 calendar days, but can take up to
90 calendar days per statute (one of our two reviewer positions is currently vacant so this review will probably be closer
to 45 days than 30).

Hard copies should be mailed to the following address:
For FedEx/UPS:
Jim Farkas
512 N. Salisbury Street, Office 640E
Raleigh, NC 27604
