Subject: PROJECT NOT SUBJECT
Fairview Fire and Rescue
Stormwater Project No. SWA000190
Union County
Dear Mr.Mills:
The Division of Energy,Mineral and Land Resources received a complete request to exempt the subject
proposed redevelopment project from Stormwater Management Permit requirements on April 10,2023.
Staff review of the plans and supporting documentation has determined that the project proposes activities
that are exempted from State Stormwater permitting requirements as set forth in the stormwater rules
under Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000, as amended.
Therefore,the director of the DEMLR is hereby providing confirmation that the subject project is
exempted from State Stormwater permitting requirements under the following conditions:
1) The project must be constructed as shown on the plans submitted to this Office.
2) The total proposed built-upon area of 66,756 square feet does not exceed the existing built-upon
area of 67,518 square feet. The 67,518 square feet of built-upon area allocated to this 6.68-acre
project area includes 66,756 square feet of proposed built-upon area and 762 square feet of built-
upon area allocated for future improvements.
3) The proposed stormwater control provides equal or better protection of surface waters than the
existing stormwater control.
Under Section .1017(2) of the stormwater rules,the entire common plan of development must be
permitted. Therefore, any future development or changes to the proposed development, including,but not
limited to,the relocation of built-upon area and the construction of additional built-upon area, will require
approval or a Stormwater Management permit application and permit issuance from the DEMLR prior to
any construction. Construction of additional development or changes to the proposed development prior
to receipt of the required approval or failure to maintain compliance with the exemption conditions, are
violations of Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000, and may result in the initiation of appropriate enforcement
action.
Please keep in mind that this determination does not affect your legal obligation to obtain other permits
and approvals, which may be required by Federal, State, or local government agencies,rule or law. If you
have any questions concerning this permit,please contact Jim Farkas
in the Central Office, at(919) 707-3646 [e-mail].
Sincerely,
