Good Afternoon,
We received your post-construction stormwater permit application for the subject project on 3/7/24. 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
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.
