Kyra,

Just to recap our earlier phone conversation, there’s some good news and some bad news with regard to this project:

Bad News – I don’t have any hard copy files for this project. Typically when we return a project we hold onto the hard
copies for a short period of time (in case there are any objections), but then we do not (our storage space is very
limited). I personally do not recall receiving the May 2021 resubmission items, but it is entirely possible that they got
delivered and then misplaced or went missing (we were all still mostly teleworking at the time).

Good News – I didn’t officially close out this project in our internal tracking system. Like with the paper file, I keep the
electronic file open for a little bit after issuing the project return (in case there are any issues since it is difficult to re-
open a closed out project), but it does not appear that I ever finished formally closing it out in our internal tracking
system. We also do not currently purge the electronic files that are uploaded to Laserfiche, so we have everything that
was electronically submitted (you can look through the electronic file at the following link:
https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/WaterResources/Browse.aspx?id=494276&dbid=0&repo=WaterResources) NOTE: Laserfiche
is currently down so you cannot view these files at this time, but they will be there once it is back on-line.

What Now? – You can provide a complete hard copy submission (containing all of the corrected/most up-to-date
submission items since I currently don’t have any) and make sure that everything in the hard copy submission is also
uploaded to Laserfiche. We can pick up with the review were we left off and I can provide a letter/email stating to
disregard the 6/8/2021 project return letter.

For future reference, you should have reached out to me closer to when I issued the project return letter since we do
not keep the hard copies of returned projects on-file (if we did have the resubmitted items we no longer have them). If
there was an issue of a missing/misplaced resubmission, it would have been easier to address closer to the resubmission
date, not months thereafter.

Hi Jim,

I understand this requires some digging, but did want to follow up on the below and attached. Would you have a
moment to verify you are not in receipt of these forms?

Thank you!

Jim,

I am writing in response to the Project Return Letter for Heritage Subdivision – SW Permit No. SW3200202. Per our
records, we have submitted all requested updated documents (see attached and below). I believe the only outstanding
2

document is documentation concerning David Goracke as signatory. I have attached the most recent up-to-date
submitted forms. I am concerned that these items may not have reached your desk.

Please see below per our records:

1 SW Application, Original, Signed (attached, submitted 5-3-2021)
1 HD Deed Restrictions Form (attached, submitted 5-3-2021)
1 O&M Agreement, Signed (attached, submitted 5-3-2021)
1 Supplemental EZ Form (attached, submitted 9-22-2020)

I apologize for any confusion, but is it possible these are at the office and if not, would you please advise on our options
when you have a moment?

Thank you,

Kyra Schneider | Senior Project Coordinator
