I’m in the process of reviewing the submission for this project that was made on November 17, 2022.
- Please send me the following electronic files as they do not appear to have been uploaded to our electronic
repository (All of these items were submitted as hard copies so hard copies do not need to be sent in):
o The full O&M Agreement Form (there is an unsigned cover page, but the rest is missing).
o The Secretary of State document indicating that the applicant is in good standing and showing the
position & title of the signing official.
o The construction easement document.
o The project description.
o The drainage area map plan sheet.

If the files are small enough, you can email them to me or you can upload them at the following link
(https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/SW-Supplemental-Upload).

Thanks,

Nathan,

I was looking over the additional information you provided on 8/15/22. Everything looks good except for a few small
issues:

Please correct the following:
- Application:
o Section IV, 3 – Please indicate the river basin that this project is located in (can be determined here:
https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/7073e9122ab74588b8c48ded34c3df55/?data_id=dataSource
_1-SurfaceWaterClassifications_6584_4677%3A2505 and will be one of the 17 major river basins in NC).
o Section IV, 10 – For a low-density projects like this, the “drainage area” is equal to the project area (2.73
ac) and there is typically no off-site component. Also, the proposed BUA is shown on plan sheet EC02 as
26,126 sf and is shown as both 25,110 & 24,535 sf in this table. Please revise as needed.
- Supplement-EZ Form:
o Cover Page:
 Line 7 – Please include the width of the vegetated setback required from surface waters (please
refer to 15A NCAC 02H .1003(4) & .1017(1)). It is noted that there are no surface waters located
on-site, however this value should still be provided.
o Drainage Area Page:
 Line 4 – This project only has 1 low-density “drainage area”, the project area.
 Similar to the earlier comment in the Application section, a project like this has a single
“drainage area” that is equal to the project area and there is typically no off-site component.
Since the “drainage area” and project area are the same for this project, the entire site column
and DA 1 columns will be the same and should correspond to the information shown in Section
IV, 10 of the Application. For this project, Lines 4 (type of SCM) & 19-21 do not need to be
completed.

Please provide the following:
- 1x hard copy & 1x electronic copy of the revised pages of the Application.
- 1x hard copy & 1x electronic copy of the revised pages of the Supplement-EZ Form.
- 1x hard copy (2x hard copies for plans) & 1x electronic copy of anything else needed to address these
comments.

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

For USPS:
Jim Farkas
1612 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1612

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.

Electronic copies should be uploaded at the following location:
https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/SW-Supplemental-Upload

Since these are really minor things, once I get the hard copies, anything else that may have changed from addressing
these issues, and the documents are uploaded to Laserfiche (Provided everything is still in order), we can issue the
permit without doing another formal review.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Good morning,

We received your post-construction stormwater permit application for the above mentioned project on 8/15/2022.
Reviews under the standard permitting process generally take 75 calendar days, but can take up to 90 calendar days per
3

statute (our other reviewer, Corey Anen, no longer works for the State, so this review may exceed 75 days). 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

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 #: SW6220804
