Everett,

I was looking over the information you provided on 1/23/2023. Everything looks good except for a few small issues:

Please correct the following:
- Part E5 of the Application – The project density does not appear to be calculated correctly. For projects without
existing BUA, project density is calculated as Proposed New BUA (3,613,628 sf) divided by the Total Project Area
(19,086,776 sf). 3,613,628 sf / 19,086,776 sf = 18.93% (18.84% is shown in the Application). Please revise as
needed.
- Part F7 of the Application – Please initial this item as being provided since documentation showing that Wes
Feinman can sign on behalf of the Applicant, Whiting-Turner, and documentation showing that the Applicant,
Whiting-Turner, is active and in good standing with the Secretary of State were provided.
- While not required for the approval of the ATC Permit, the following items were noted with the design. These
items may need to be addressed prior to Final Approval:
o Please ensure that the riprap apron for wet pond #5 is kept outside of the vegetated setback. Per 15A
NCAC 02H .1003(4)(b), “Vegetated setbacks may be cleared or graded, but shall be replanted and
maintained in grass or other vegetation”. At the provided scale, it is unclear if the riprap apron is within
1

our outside of the vegetated setback. This item does not need to be corrected for ATC Approval, but
must be addressed prior to Final Approval.
o This project is located within 5 miles of an airport (Siler City Municipal). While not required, it is strongly
recommended to use SCMs that do not promote standing water in accordance with G.S. 143-214.7(c3)
(https://www.ncleg.gov/EnactedLegislation/Statutes/HTML/BySection/Chapter_143/GS_143-
214.7.html). Alternative SCMs that can be used within the 5 mile radius of a public airport are outlined
in Part E-4 of the Manual (https://deq.nc.gov/media/9977/download).

Please provide the following:
- 1x electronic copy of the letter giving Wes Feinman authority to sign on behalf of the Applicant, Whiting-Turner
(A hard copy of this item was provided, however an electronic copy does not appear to have been uploaded to
our file repository).
- 2x hard copies & 1x electronic copy of the revised pages of the Application (revised pages can be slip-sheeted
into the otherwise correct & complete Application that we already have).
- 2x hard copies & 1x electronic copy of any other items needed to address the above 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

NOTE: Our electronic file repository, Laserfiche, is currently down for maintenance, but it should be back up tomorrow
(2/22/23). If it is not up by then, you can email me the electronic files and I will manually enter them into the repository
when I am able to do so.

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 Afternoon,

We received your post-construction stormwater permit Authorization to Construct (ATC) application for the above
mentioned project on 1/23/2023. Reviews under the fast track permitting process generally take 30 calendar 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

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please ensure that each file is uploaded under its appropriate file type. Additional file types must be
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. Simply changing the file type in the dropdown box will not
add additional file types to the submission. 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 #: SWA000181

If you have any questions, please contact Jim Farkas [e-mail] 919-707-3646.
