e. One (1) data CD of full size plans in TIFF Group 4 format (black and white, not grayscale or
color). If the plans are too large to store in TIFF format, they can be stored in PDF.
Please be advised that all Stormwater BMPs must be designed, at a minimum, to remove 85% TSS, in
accordance with the most recent version of the NC Division of Water Quality Stormwater Best Management
Practices Manual. In addition, for projects located in a Trout (Tr) or Nutrient Sensitive Watershed (NSW),
the Stormwater BMP(s) you choose should be designed to meet at least 30% nutrient removal efficiency.
Details of the Express Review Program requirements can be found at:
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ncwetiands/express review.htm
The meeting held on October 29, 2008 will substitute for the pre-application meeting that is required prior
to the submittal of your completed application package. The clock for this project will not start until
receipt of the completed application package and required fee. If the drainage areas exceed what is
indicated on the Initial Interest Form and/or the services are different, you may be required to remit an
additional fee.
You have the option of getting your Stormwater Management Plan approved by the City of Charlotte.
However, your SMP must meet their current Phase II SMP ordinance, and BMPs must be designed in
accordance with the current NC DWQ BMP Manual.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you have any questions or wish to discuss these matters
further please do not hesitate to call Joseph Gyamfi or Lia M. Gilleski at 919-733-1786.
Sincerely,
