"The quickness of the next review for this project is dependent on reviewer availability"
If there is an opening in our schedule, projects that have been slated for an informal/quick review get to jump the
queue, but it is possible that the review may not be completed until June if there are more pressing reviews that need to
be completed first.

Jim,
I noticed that our project was back in the queue with an anticipated return date of 6/3. Your email with the comments
noted we could avoid a formal review due to the minor nature of the comments. Is this the case or should we plan for a
review to be complete in June?
Thank you,
Nick

Nick,
I was looking over the information you provided on December 5, 2023. Everything looks good except for a few small
issues:
Please correct the following:
- Please ensure that the entire on-site surface water area is accounted for in the Application and Supplement-EZ
Form (per 15A NCAC 02H .1003(1)(c)(i)). Per the other submittal items,the project area is shown as 30.92 ac and
per the plans in the stormwater report, the on-site surface water area is 1.01 ac (0.46 ac for the pond and 0.55
ac for the stream). Subtracting the surface water area from the property area would result in a project area of
29.91 ac. Please make the following corrections:
o Application:
■ Section IV, 6—Revise the surface water area (1.01 ac).
■ Section IV, 7—Recalculate this value (29.91 ac).
■ Section IV, 8—Recalculate this value (19.1%).
o Supplement-EZ Form, Cover Page:
■ Line 2—Revise the project area (29.91 ac).
■ Line 4—Revise the surface water area (1.01 ac).
3

For a low-density project, the "drainage area" of the project is equal to the project area (not necessarily the area
draining to any on-site vegetated conveyances, see note in Section IV, 9 of the Application). Please make the
following corrections:
o Application, Section IV, 10:
■ Total Drainage Area—Revise this value (equal to the sum of the on-site and off-site "drainage
area"values, in square feet).
■ On-site Drainage Area—Revise this value (equal to the project area, 29.91 ac, in square feet).
■ Off-site Drainage Area—Revise this value (low-density projects typically do not have an off-site
component as the low-density drainage area is equal to the project area).
■ Percent Impervious Area—Recalculate this value (Total BUA/Total Drainage Area).
■ Off-site BUA—Revise this value (low-density projects typically do not have an off-site
component as the low-density drainage area is equal to the project area).
■ Total BUA—Revise this value.
o Supplement-EZ Form, Drainage Areas Page:
■ Line 5—Revise this value (equal to the sum of Lines 6 &7, in square feet).
■ Line 6—Revise this value (equal to the project area, 29.91 ac, in square feet).
■ Line 7—Revise this value (low-density projects typically do not have an off-site component as
the low-density drainage area is equal to the project area).
■ Line 18—Recalculate this value (Line 8/ Line 5).
■ Line 19—NOTE:This item is not required for low-density projects.
■ LD 1 Column—Please complete this column. For this project, the values in this column will be
equal to the entire site column.
- Please include the drainage area delineation to the vegetated conveyances in the main set of plans (required per
15A NCAC 02H .1042(2)(g)(iv) and Section V1,8o of the Application). It is noted that the drainage area map is
included in the calculations (which was used for review), however this needs to be provided in the main set of
plans. Please revise as needed.
Please clarify the design information for the swale provided in the calculations.The Hydraflow calculation shows
a 10-year peak discharge rate of 39.9 cfs (based on C= 0.6, i =7.93 in/hr, and A=8.39 ac)whereas the design
spreadsheet shows a 10-year peak discharge rate of 27.63 cfs (based on C=0.4, i =7.93 in/hr, and A=8.71 ac).
Please revise the submittal materials as needed.
Please correct the following issues with the Supplement-EZ Form, Low-Density Page:
o Line 5—This value (4.91 fps) does not correspond to the largest swale velocity as shown in the swale
table (4.12 fps NOTE: See later comment with regard to swale velocities).
o Please ensure that the swale design information shown in the swale table is indicative of the final
proposed site conditions. NOTE: Due to the temporary nature of this project,you may wish to list the
two different"Vallowable" & "Vactual"values (one with the temporary matting and one with the
established vegetated cover) in the swale table and include a note in the additional information section
that the two entries shown in the table refer to the same swale,just with different linings (we require
that the swale design be shown for final proposed site conditions, but most likely,this project will
remain in the temporary site configuration before being returned to the predevelopment conditions so
also having the temporary swale design info in the design table would be benificial).
Please provide the following:
- 1x hard copy & 1x electronic copy of the revised pages of the Application Form.
- 1x hard copy & 1x electronic copy of the revised Supplement-EZ Form.
- 2x hard copies & 1x electronic copy of the revised plan sheets.
- 1x hard copy & 1x electronic copy of the revised calculations.
- 1x hard copy (2x hard copies for plan sheets) & 1x electronic copy of any other items needed to address these
comments.

Hard copies should be mailed to me at the following address:
For Fed Ex/UPS:
Jim Farkas
512 N. Salisbury Street, Office 640M
Raleigh, NC 27604
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 location: https://edocs.deg.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.

Good Morning,
We received your post-construction stormwater permit application for the subject project on 12/5/23. Reviews under
the Standard permitting process can take up to 90 calendar days to complete. You can see where this project stands in
the review queue by emailing [e-mail](We 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.deg.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#: SW6231201
This project will be reviewed by Jim Farkas, if you have any questions, please contact them at
[e-mail] or at 919-707-3646.

correctly. Project density calculation information can be found in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(1).
• Section IV, 10—The "Proposed Impervious Area** (sf)" should match the value for"Total (sf)". Please
revise.
• Section IV, 10—The "% Impervious Area** (total)" does not appear to be calculated correctly. Please
revise.
• BUA dimensions and layouts.This item is required per Section VI, 8j of the Application.The BUA
information shown in the Application, Supplement-EZ Form, and calculations should be verified from the
plans. Dimensions for the laydown ABC stone.
The other items are still needed.
