Mr.Janowski,
I was looking over the additional information you provided on 10/31/23. Everything looks good except for a few
small issues:
Please correct the following:
• Prior Comment 2— 'Application Form, Section E5, Surface Water Area—Please note that you are only
required to include the surface water area of surface waters that are shown on the USGS topographic map
for this item. Surface waters associated with SCMs are not required to be included. Please revise if needed."
The project density does not appear to have been revised correctly. For a project with no existing BUA,
project density is calculated as [New BUA]/ [Total Project Area]. Per the information entered into the form,
New BUA=49,191 sf(see later comment) and the Total Project Area =259,915 sf(49,191 sf/259,915 sf=
18.9%# 17%). Please revise as needed. made revisions-total project area revised and total impervious area revised to

in the Proposed New BUA in Section ES of the Application (since the electronic files were not provided, 1
cannot say for sure if this is the case, however, based on approximation, the future parking areas do not
appear to be included in the proposed new BUA for the project)and that the future parking areas are
mentioned in the construction sequence. If you do not wish to permit the BUA associated with the future
parking spaces at this time, please remove them from the submittal items or place a note indicating that
the BUA associated with these future parking areas is not covered under this permit(the permit will then
need to be modified to include the future parking area if/when the future parking areas will be built)."
Measuring the total proposed BUA for the entire site (including all shown BUA plus the future BUA)from
the provided electronic plans yields a total amount of BUA of approximately 57,000 sf of BUA(about 51,000

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 location:
hops://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 still in order),we
can issue the permit without doing another formal review.The quickness of the next review for this project is
dependent on reviewer availability.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Mr.Janowski,
I was looking over the additional information you provided on 9/26/23. Everything looks good except for a few
small issues:
Please correct the following:
• Application Form, Section El—Per the design,this project is a high density project(it is noted that the
%BUA for the project is below 24%, however, there are other aspects that a project must meet in order to
be considered as a low-density project (one of which is the avoidance of piping which is not met by this
project). Please revise as needed.
• Application Form, Section E5, Surface Water Area—Please note that you are only required to include the
surface water area of surface waters that are shown on the USGS topographic map for this item. Surface
waters associated with SCMs are not required to be included. Please revise if needed.
• Please upload the electronic files for this project as indicated in the 9/26/23 email. Electronic files are
required per 15A NCAC 02H .1043(3) and must be uploaded through the following link:
https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/SW-Supplemental-Upload
• Please ensure that the BUA associated with the future parking spaces is accounted for in the Proposed New
BUA in Section E5 of the Application (since the electronic files were not provided, I cannot say for sure if
this is the case, however, based on approximation,the future parking areas do not appear to be included in
the proposed new BUA for the project) and that the future parking areas are mentioned in the construction
sequence. If you do not wish to permit the BUA associated with the future parking spaces at this time,
please remove them from the submittal items or place a note indicating that the BUA associated with these
future parking areas is not covered under this permit (the permit will then need to be modified to include
the future parking area if/when the future parking areas will be built).
• The scale shown on plan sheet C4.01 appears to be incorrect.The plan sheet indicates a scale of 1"=20'
whereas a scale of 1"=30' appears to be the actual scale of the drawing. Please revise.
• While note required,you can account for the existing BUA that is currently located on-site and is being
removed in Section E5 of the Application.
Please provide the following:
• lx electronic copy of all of the submittal items for this project.
• 2x hard copies & lx electronic copy of the revised pages of the Application Form.
• 2x hard copies & lx electronic copy of the revised plan sheets.
• 2x hard copies & lx electronic copy of any other items needed to address these issues.

Good Morning,
We received your post-construction stormwater [Authorization to Construct (ATC)] permit application for the
subject project on 9/26/2023. 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 Jim Farkas (He has 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.
hops://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.
