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 DWQ Stormwater Best Management Practices
Manual. In addition, Stormwater BMPs discharging into Trout (Tr) or Nutrient Sensitive Waters (NSW)
should be designed to meet at least 30% nutrient removal efficiency. You have the option of getting your
SMP approved by the City of Charlotte. However, your SMP must meet their current Phase II ordinance,
and the BMPs must be designed to treat the entire site in accordance with the current NC DWQ BMP
Manual.
The pre-application meeting that is required prior to the submittal of your completed application package
has been waived. 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.
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,
