Union County
Dear Mr. Carreon and Mr. Nourafshan:
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), received a Stormwater
Management Permit Application for the subject project on December 16, 2021. A review of that
information has determined that the application is not complete. The following information is
needed to continue the stormwater review:
Please provide an original, notarized, signature for the Property Owners, Stanley Lee
Summerlin, Jane Brewer Summerlin, and William Chad Summerlin, in Section IX of the
Application. For this project, if it is not practicable to get the Property Owners to sign the
Application, we will accept a copy of a lease agreement, affidavit, or other official
document showing that the Applicant, Cypress Creek Renewables, LLC, has obtained
legal rights to submit a stormwater permit application within the proposed project area (in
conjunction with an explanation that it was not practicable to get the Property Owner
signatures on the Application).
NOTE: In the event that the development agreement between the Applicant and the
Property Owners is dissolved, canceled, defaulted, etc... the responsibility for
compliance with the permit reverts back to the Property Owners.
