Good Afternoon,

The Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR), received a complete, Stormwater Management Permit
Application for the subject project on October 4, 2021. 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. SW1210503, dated October 5, 2021, 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 approved modified plans are being mailed to the permittee, Amber Penland, at
the following address (NOTE: An electronic version of this permit can be found in our online repository:

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].
