No, the outline weight is fine, it is just that you need to account for the por?on of the surface water that is in the Phase
1 area of the project on the form. The hatched area on the a?ached map is the surface water area within the Phase 1
area and you need to account for it (you don’t need to account for surface water areas in other phases at this ?me).

Your red outline is correct, would you like the same plan with Phase 1 delineated with a heavier or dashed line weight?
Thanks for the code info. The ques?on is actually related to another project that has a lot of open space and not Sta?on
Pointe.

The informa?on you provided indicates that the Phase 1 area is as shown in the a?ached image. If this is not correct,
you need to revise the plans to clearly show the Phase 1 area.
As for the a?ached code (15A NCAC 02H .1021(5)), that is only applicable to projects that are located within an
ORW/HQW area. This project is in a Phase II/urbanized area and would be subject to 15A NCAC 02H .1017.
15A NCAC 02H .1017 does have a similar density provision (15A NCAC 02H .1017(4)) however there is more to being a
low-density project than just mee?ng the density requirement (please see 15A NCAC 02H .1003(2) and .1003(1)(d)).
Notably, the project has to be designed in a manner to minimize concentrated flow and can only use piping in certain
limited instances. If this project can meet all of the low-density criteria then you can permit the site as a low-density
project (although you will need to modify the submi?al materials to indicate this).

Jim,
Our permit request is for Phase 1 only. Our client does not own the rest of the future project plus we have not designed
those sec?ons yet. Once we submit for those phases we will certainly calculate any exis?ng surface water.
I do have a ques?on for you. Concerning part 5 in the code a?ached, if I have a subdivision where I have a lot of open
space and say 10,000sf lots but a?er dividing the number of lots into the total area I have say 0.9 units/ac is this allowed
to be low density? Or, are the lots required to be physically 1 acre in size. There are opportuni?es where COSD
(consolidated open space developments) could meet the 1 unit per acre.
Thanks,
Kirby R (Robbie) Bell, Jr. PE, CPESC

Robbie,
I was looking over the informa?on provided on 7/17/23. There appears to be a surface water area shown within the
Phase 1 project area on the provided plans (see a?ached). Please include this on-site surface water area in Part E5 of the
form and recalculate the Total Project Area and %BUA as needed. Please also upload the electronic files from the
7/17/23 submission if you have not already done so to the following link (h?ps://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/SW-

“Total Surface Water Area” (in Part E5 of the Applica?on) corresponds to the surface area of any surface waters located
on-site where “surface waters” are those waters that are shown on a USGS topo map and the “surface area” is
measured between the banks (for rivers, streams, etc…) or based on the normal pool eleva?on (for lakes, ponds, etc…).
Proposed SCMs do not count towards this surface water area.

Good a?ernoon Jim. Just to clarify that I need to subtract normal pool areas for “proposed stormwater basins
addressing a?enua?on and treatment also, not just exis?ng ponds?

Robbie,
I was looking over the informa?on you provided on 6/9/23. Everything looks good except for a few small issues:
Please correct the following:
- Please provided documenta?on showing that the Signing Official for the Applicant, Ric J. Rojas, is a principal
execu?ve officer of the level of vice-president or that he has the authoriza?on of someone that is a principal
execu?ve officer of the level of vice-president. This item is required per 15A NCAC 02H .1040(1)(a), 15A NCAC
02H .1043(3)(b), and Part F7 of the Applica?on. Organiza?on structures differ, so we just want to make sure that
“Division President” is comparable to a vice president (you can provide an org chart or other documenta?on
indica?ng this or a le?er from someone VP or higher authorizing Mr. Rojas to sign on their behalf). Alterna?vely,
you can have someone else (that is a principal execu?ve officer of the level of vice-president) listed as the
Applicant and sign the applica?on form.
- Applica?on Part E5 – Please revise the Total Project Area and Project Density values. The Total Project Area
value excludes the Surface Water Area (13,242 sf) from the Total Property Area (938,718 sf) and the Project
Density calcula?on is based on the Total Project Area. Please revise.
Please provide the following:
- 2x hard copies & 1x electronic copy of documenta?on that the Signing Official is at the level of VP or
higher/authoriza?on from someone of level VP or higher sta?ng that the Signing Official can sign on behalf of
the Applicant/revised Part D & Part G with someone of level VP or higher as the signing official.
- 2x hard copies & 1x electronic copy of the revised page of the Applica?on Form.
Hard copies should be mailed to me at the following address:
For FedEx/UPS:
Jim Farkas
512 N. Salisbury Street, Office 640M

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 loca?on:
h?ps://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 s?ll in order), we can issue the
permit without doing another formal review.
Let me know if you have any ques?ons.

Kaitlin,
I see what you are talking about. We do show leader lines over to the wetland areas but they are not defined in detail
and especially the wetland areas that will be recorded with phase 1 and protected.
Will send out today.

Good A?ernoon,
I hope you are doing well.
We received your application for a new Fast-Track post-construction stormwater permit on 5/30/23 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 7/7/23) so that we may accept the project
and begin the review process, otherwise, the project will be returned as administratively incomplete.
2x original hard copies and 1x electronic copy of a site plan corrected to depict wetlands on the project site.
Currently it states that wetlands are present on site, but their locations are not indicated. This item is required
per 15A NCAC 02H .1043(3)(f) and per Section F, 4 of the Application.
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.
If these items are received within the stipulated timeframe, we can accept the project and begin the review process.
Once accepted, reviews under the Fast-Track permitting process can take up to 30 calendar days per statute.
