Good Morning,

We received your application for a new post-construction stormwater permit on 7/27/2022. At this time, the submission
is not administratively complete and cannot be accepted for review in its current condition. Please provide the following
submittal items within 30 calendar days (by close of business on 9/1/2022) so that we may accept the project and begin
the review process, otherwise, the project will be returned as administratively incomplete.
 Please provide the contact information (email address & phone number) for the Property Owner in Section III,
2b of the Application. This item is required per 15A NCAC 02H .1042(2)(a)(ix).
 1x hard copy of documentation showing the title and position of the signing officials signing on behalf of the
Applicant and Property Owner. This item is required per 15A NCAC 02H .1042(2)(b)(ii).
 2x signed & sealed hard copies of a plan sheet showing the following:
 Drainage area to the proposed SCM. This item is required per Section VI, 8o of the Application and 15A
NCAC 02H .1042(2)(g)(iv). Please include the drainage area to the SCM in the main set of plans.
 Wetland delineation or a note on the plans stating that there are no wetlands located on-site (Required
per Section VI, 8m of the Application and 15A NCAC 02H .1042(2)(g)(iii)). Please also list the name of the
individual that made this determination in a note on the plans. This item must be provided in the main
set of plans.
 Maintenance access & easements. These items are required per Section VI, 8n of the Application,
General MDCS 8 & 9, and 15A NCAC 02H .1042(2)(g)(vi). Please ensure that the SCMs are accessible for
maintenance and that the access/easement is shown on the plans.

NOTE: This is an administrative completeness review, not a detailed engineering review, there may be other issues that
may be brough up during the engineering review. While nor required for administrative completeness, it was noted that
the side slopes of the Inflow Diversion Berm in the wet pond are shown to have side slopes of 2:1. General MDC 3
requires vegetated slopes of SCMs to have a minimum 3:1 side slope (steeper slopes may be considered on a case by
case basis, but you will need to demonstrate that the slope will remain stable in perpetuity).

If these items are received within the stipulated timeframe, we can accept the project and begin the review process.
Once accepted, reviews under the standard permitting process can take up to 90 calendar days per statute (one of our
two reviewer positions is currently vacant).

Hard copies should be mailed to the following address:
