Mr. Janowski,

I was looking over the addi?onal informa?on you provided on 10/31/23. Everything looks good except for a few small
issues:

Please correct the following:
- Prior Comment 2 –
The project
density does not appear to have been revised correctly. For a project with no exis?ng BUA, project density is
calculated as \[New BUA\] / \[Total Project Area\]. Per the informa?on 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.
- Prior Comment 3 –
The following electronic files do not appear to have
been uploaded: Property Deed (per Sec?on F6 of the Applica?on Form), USGS Topographic Map (per Sec?on
F3), Construc?on Sequence (per Sec?on F5), Documenta?on from the NC Secretary of State indica?ng that the
applicant is in good standing and confirming the ?tle and posi?on of the signing official (per Sec?on F7).
- Prior Comment 4 –
Measuring the total proposed BUA for the en?re
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 sf of shown BUA plus about 6,000 sf of future BUA).
Please ensure that the BUA accoun?ng is correct and reflects the design shown in the plans.
Please provide the following:
- 1x electronic copy of the missing submi?al items for this project.
- 2x hard copies & 1x electronic copy of the revised pages of the Applica?on Form.
- 2x hard copies & 1x electronic copy of the revised plan sheets (if needed).
- 2x hard copies & 1x electronic copy of any other items needed to address these issues.

Hard copies should be mailed to me at the following address:

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:

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. The quickness of the next review for this project is dependent on reviewer
availability.

Let me know if you have any ques?ons.

I was looking over the addi?onal informa?on you provided on 9/26/23. Everything looks good except for a few small
issues:

Please correct the following:
- Applica?on Form, Sec?on E1 – 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.
- Applica?on Form, Sec?on 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:
h?ps://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 Sec?on E5 of the Applica?on (since the electronic files were not provided, I cannot say for sure if this is the
case, however, based on approxima?on, 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 men?oned in the construc?on sequence. If you
do not wish to permit the BUA associated with the future parking spaces at this ?me, please remove them from
the submi?al items or place a note indica?ng 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 exis?ng BUA that is currently located on-site and is being removed
in Sec?on E5 of the Applica?on.

Please provide the following:
- 1x electronic copy of all of the submi?al items for this project.
- 2x hard copies & 1x electronic copy of the revised pages of the Applica?on Form.
- 2x hard copies & 1x electronic copy of the revised plan sheets.

Good Morning,

We received your post-construc?on stormwater \[Authoriza?on to Construct (ATC)\] permit applica?on for the subject
project on 9/26/2023. Reviews under the Fast-Track permi?ng 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.

h?ps://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/SW-Supplemental-Upload

IMPORTANT NOTE: Please ensure that each file is uploaded under its appropriate file type. Addi?onal file types can be
entered into the electronic form by clicking on the “Add Another Post-Construc?on File Upload” link directly below the
“State Stormwater Informa?on Uploads” sec?on 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 addi?onal 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 en?re plan sets through this form, but rather upload the relevant individual sheets under the appropriate file

type. Selec?ng 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 ligh?ng plans, u?lity plans, striping plans, sight distance plans, etc…) as these files are not needed for
review.

Please type in permit #: SWA000229

This project will be reviewed by Jim Farkas, if you have any ques?ons, please contact them at

Good A?ernoon,

We received your application for a new Fast-Track post-construction stormwater permit on 9/20/23. 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 by close of business on 9/27/2023 so that we may accept the project and begin the review
process, otherwise, the project will be returned as administratively incomplete.
 1x hard copy of the Application with the following corrections made (These items are required per 15A NCAC
02H .1043(3)(a) and per Section F of the Application):
 Section G – Please provide the applicant’s/financially responsible party’s original, notarized and sealed
signature in this section of the Application. NOTE: I apologize that this comment was left off our last
correspondence. I am granting you a week’s extension (due 9/27/23) in order to get this and the
additional comment in. NOTE: Of the 2 copies that we received originally, only one was an original for
the applicant.
 2x hard copies and 1x electronic copy of a construc?on sequence that discusses how any future development on
the project may be phased. This is required per 15A NCAC 02H .1043(3)(g) and per Sec?on F, 5 of the
Applica?on. The construc?on sequence does not need to be lengthy, just a brief descrip?on of how future
development on the project (beyond what is shown on the plans) will be phased. If no future development is
planned for the project, you can simply state that in the construc?on sequence. This item is different than the
E&SC sequence of construc?on.

NOTE: This is an administrative completeness review, not a detailed engineering review, there may be other issues that
may be brought 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.
