Good Morning,
We received your post-construction stormwater permit application for the subject project on 2/16/24. 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
3

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#: SW6240202

Thanks for the quick response Kaitlin. I will check on the various items you listed below. As for the EZ Supplement
"Drainage"file the download would not allow me to fill it in. When I tried to fill in the information the form gave me a
message that it was "locked", which is the problem I had before so I figured this sheet was not needed.

Good Morning,
We received your application for a new post-construction stormwater permit on 2/6//24. 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 2/16/24 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 a soils map. We overlaid the soils map onto the existing conditions plan like we provide nearly all
plans submitted to Municipalities. I also have a soils map in the report that was taken/printed directly from
NRCS The soils overlay is now shown in the existing conditions plan.This layer may not have been included when
printed?There additionally is no soils map provided in the submittal information report.
• 1x hard copy of the complete, original signed Supplement-EZ Form (This item is required per Sections V&VI, 3
of the Application).This form can be found on our website at the following
address: https://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-and-land-resources/stormwater/stormwater-
program/stormwater-design. Please note that a complete Supplement-EZ form will have 3 or more pages and
uses macros to generate the relevant sheets based on the information entered into the cover page. Only the
cover page was provided. Please provide the relevant sheets to your project by generating them with macros.
Not sure what additional sheets would be needed.This is a Low Density so no SCM's are needed so with "0"
being in the EZ Cover/SCM column no additional info would be needed.....1 think.What are on the relevant
sheets if a SCM is not needed?There is a low density selection when giving information for the drainage
areas.This is still needed. (Does not need to be resigned,just the additional pages filled out and submitted).
• 1x original, signed & notarized hard copy of the O&M Agreement Form (This item is required per 15A NCAC 02H
.1042(2)(j) and per Sections V &VI, 3 of the Application).This form can be found on our website at the following
address: https://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/energy-mineral-and-land-resources/stormwater/stormwater-
program/stormwater-design. Please note that a complete O&M Agreement Form will have 2 or more pages and
uses macros to generate the relevant sheets based on the information entered into the cover page. NOTE: It is
recommended to get a second copy of this form signed & notarized for the Applicant's records (it will be helpful
when they go to record it with the Register of Deeds). Only the cover page was provided. Please provide the
relevant sheets to your project by generating them with macros.The other sheets were included in the
submittal which was the Low Density Deed Restrictions and Maintenance....correct? I apologize.The
additional pages were first included in the very original submittal without the cover page,then the cover
pages was included in the second submission.You can ignore this comment.

• 2x signed &sealed hard copies of a plan sheet showing the following corrected additions:
• Details of roads, sidewalks, drainage features, piped collection systems, and the proposed stormwater
controls.This item is required per Section VI 81 of the application. No sidewalks but all this info was on
the plans. See sheets C1.2 for the road x-section, C3.1 and C3.2 for the grading and drainage plan and
C4.1-C4.7 for road profiles and storm pipe crossings. No controls are needs except for storm pipe
velocity dissipator pads which we show the dimensions and calcs.This is a low density subdivision These
pages were not included with the submittal. I only have pages C0.1, C0.2, C1.1, C3.1, C3.2, DAS,
DA6.Please provide C1.2 and C.4.1-C4.7.
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 standard permitting process can take up to 90 calendar days per statute (one of our
two reviewer positions is currently vacant).
Hard copies should be mailed to the following address:

Good afternoon Kaitlin. I was aware of the date. With the unfortunate elimination of the Fast Track it pretty much
requires us to design the entire project of every component in order to provide your Dept. of the detail that a regular
submittal requires vs the Fast Track. We spent some extra time trying to perfect the design rather than throwing some
drawings and numbers together and submitting. Usually there will be some comments but I hope that the plans we have
produced will shorten your review and the number of review cycles. I proofed a final set of complete plans this AM and
my tech is making those red line revisions now. I hope to send out tomorrow.
Thanks,
