Good Afternoon,

The Division of Energy, Mineral, and Land Resources (DEMLR), received a complete, Stormwater Management Permit
Authorization to Construct (ATC) Application for the subject project on June 8, 2023. Staff review of the plans and
specifications has determined that the project, as proposed, will comply with the Stormwater Regulations set forth in
Title 15A NCAC 2H.1000 - 1062 rules. We are forwarding ATC Permit No. SWA000211, dated July 7, 2023, for the
construction of the subject project and the stormwater system. This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance
and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein, and does not supersede any other agency
permits that may be required.

The original signed permit package and plans are being mailed to the permittee, Rick Grant, at the following address
(NOTE: An electronic version of this permit can be found in our online repository:
https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/WaterResources/Browse.aspx?id=494276&dbid=0&repo=WaterResources):

Blue Ridge Retirement Partners, LLC
Attn: Rick Grant, Manager
70 Peachtree Road, Suite 210
Asheville, NC 28803

I will hold onto our hard copies of this project for 30 days (in case any issues/typos with the permit are noticed and
corrections need to be made) after which point, they will be kept on file at the Asheville Office. If you have any
questions, or need additional information concerning this matter, please contact me at [e-mail].

Reminder: Please be aware that per 15A NCAC 02H .1044(2), the Erosion & Sediment Control (E&SC) permit for this site
cannot be closed out until the as-built stormwater plans for this project are approved by our office.

Good Afternoon,

We received your post-construction stormwater Authorization to Construct (ATC) permit application for the above
mentioned project on 3/20/2023. Reviews under the Fast-Track permitting process can take up to 30 calendar days to
complete. You can see where this project stands in the review queue by emailing me (I have an autoreply set up that has
the review queue on it). 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 can 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. YOU MUST CLICK ON THE “ADD ANOTHER POST-
CONSTRUCTION FILE UPLOAD” TO ADD ADDITIONAL FILE TYPES TO THE SUBMISSION. Merely changing the file type
dropdown as you upload the various files (without adding additional file uploads) will upload all of the files as the last
file type selected, the submission will get flagged during review, and you will need to resubmit the files. 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. NOTE: We do not require and we discourage the upload/submission of extraneous plan
sheets (such as lighting plans, utility plans, striping plans, sight distance plans, etc…) as these files are not needed for
review.

Please type in permit #: SWA000195

If you have any questions, please contact Jim Farkas [e-mail] 919-707-3646 (email is preferred).
