Subject:Courtyard Marriott at Village of Sugar Mountain in Elk Banner, Watauga County
We have received a new application for the subject project on April 4, 2023. At this time, we are not processing new
Standard Applications. We will hold onto the provided application until we resume processing Standard Applications or
until July 3, 2023 (90 days after receiving the application), whichever comes first.

Your options are as follows:
- Withdraw the Standard Application and apply for a permit for this project through the Fast-Track process. NOTE:
Please refer to the eligibility requirements outlined in 15A NCAC 02H .1043
(http://reports.oah.state.nc.us/ncac/title%2015a%20-%20environmental%20quality/chapter%2002%20-
%20environmental%20management/subchapter%20h/15a%20ncac%2002h%20.1043.pdf) and Part A of the
Fast-Track ATC Application Form as not all projects are suited to be permitted through the Fast-Track process.
- Wait for us to process the application. If we do not process the application within 90 days of receiving it, it is
assumed that the Division has no issues with what is being proposed and the project is deemed approved (in
accordance with 15A NCAC 02H .1042(3)(c) http://reports.oah.state.nc.us/ncac/title%2015a%20-
%20environmental%20quality/chapter%2002%20-
%20environmental%20management/subchapter%20h/15a%20ncac%2002h%20.1042.pdf).

Sorry for the inconvenience, we are working to correct this issue and will do so as soon as we are able to.
