Subject: Second Request for Additional Information
Stormwater Permit No. SW4210801
Holt Farms
Alamance County
Dear Mr. Abbott and Mr. Morrison:
The Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources (DEMLR), received a Stormwater
Management Permit Application for the subject project on November 22, 2021. A review of that
information has determined that the application is not complete. The following information is
needed to continue the stormwater review:
1. Original Comment 3 — "Please submit complete Supplement-EZ Form... " Please correct
the Following issues with the Supplement-EZ Form:
a. Drainage Areas Page, Line 12 — Please do not include the BUA that is allocated to
the individual lots for this item as this item is a breakdown of the new BUA not
on subdivided lots. The sum of the values of Line 12 should add up to Line 10.
NOTE: The BUA information shown in the Supplement-EZ Form and in Section
IV, 10 of the Application do not match (they should). Please revise as needed for
consistency.
b. Low -Density Page:
i. Line 11 — This item is not required since curb outlet swales are not
proposed for this project.

ii. Van., in the Swale Table — Please provide a source for the values used for
this column. We do provide a table of acceptable maximum velocities in
Part C-I I of the Design Manual (you are not required to use these values,
but you can if you like).
2. Please provide an additional, full sized hard copy of the plans. This item is required per
Section VI, 8 and 15A NCAC 02H .1042(2)(g). It appears as though only 1 full sized set
and one half sized set were provided during the initial submission and resubmission.
3. Please provide a justification for the inclusion of the conveyance pipe between the two
Phase I lots located north of Ralph Holt Court or revise the design to eliminate the
excessive piping in accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2). Low -density projects are
typically only allowed to use piping when unavoidable (such as for roadway crossings
and when there are erosion control issues. The site appears flat enough to grade the site in
a manner that the swales drain as shown in the attached image (which excludes this pipe).
4. Please show the drainage areas to the proposed vegetated conveyances on the plans. This
item is required per Section VI, 8o of the Application and per 15A NCAC
02H .1042(2)(g)(iv). We also use this information to verify that the swale calculations are
correct. You may also wish to clarify the labels for the vegetated conveyances on the
plans since between plan sheets C-1.1 & C-1.2, "PD-1" refers to two different swales
(PD-1 is perpendicular to the proposed street on sheet C-1.1 and parallel to the proposed
street on sheet C-1.2). While not required, you may wish to add a note to the Low -density
page of the Supplement-EZ Form listing the names used on the plan sheets for the 6
vegetated conveyances and which swale number on this form they correspond to.
5. 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:Iledocs.deq.nc.gov/FormsISW-Sul2plemental-Upload
b. Hard copies must be mailed or delivered to the following address:
i. For FedEx/UPS:
Jim Farkas
512 N. Salisbury Street, Office 640E
Raleigh, NC 27604
ii. For USPS:
Jim Farkas
1612 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1612
iii. Hand Delivery:
Please reach out to me prior to hand delivering a submission to make
sure that I (or someone else in my group) will be able to receive the

submission. Do not leave the package in the foyer with the
security guard.
NOTE: Hard copies should not be sent to a Regional Office. Doing so
will delay the review process and the submission package may be lost
while being sent from the Regional Office to me in the Central Office.
Please note that this request for additional information is in response to a preliminary review.
The requested information should be received by this Office prior to February 12, 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 SW4210801 on all correspondence.
If you need additional time to submit the information, please submit your request for a time
extension to the Division at the contact below. The request must indicate the date by which you
expect to submit the required information. The Division is allowed 90 days from the receipt of
a completed application to issue the permit.
The construction of any impervious surfaces, other than a construction entrance under an
approved Sedimentation Erosion Control Plan, is a violation ofNCGS 143-215.1 and is subject
to enforcement action pursuant to NCGS 143-215.6A.
