All,

Just to follow up on our meeting today, the two week resubmission extension that you requested has been granted (If
you need more time, just let me know). If the resubmission is made on-time, we anticipate being able to review the
submission by late August/early September.

Please refer to 15A NCAC 02H .1003(3)(d) for the rule with regard to only being required to treat the net increase in
BUA.

As for Comment 6 (Prior Comment 7.b.i.2.) from the 5/22/23 email, this is asking for the percent BUA for the drainage
area to the SCM to be included on the Supplement-EZ Form. For example, if the drainage area to an SCM is 169,222 sf
and a total of 141,167 sf of BUA is located within this drainage area, the percent BUA for the drainage area to the SCM
would be 83.4% \[141,167 sf / 169,222 sf = 83.4%\] and this value would be placed on Line 18 in the Drainage Area 1
column (similar to how the percent BUA value for the entire site is included on Line 18 of the Entire Site column). NOTE:
When calculating the percent BUA for the entire project area, the methodology shown in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(1)(b),
which excludes the existing BUA, can be used. For example, for a project area of 300,154 sf with a total of 227,221 sf of
BUA (205,465 sf of existing BUA and 21,756 sf of new BUA), the percent BUA for the site would be 22.98% \[(227,221 sf –
205,465 sf) / (300,154 sf – 205,465 sf) = 22.98%\] which is significantly less than the percent BUA calculated using the
methodology outlined in 15A NCAC 02H .1003(1)(a) \[227,221 sf / 300,154 sf = 75.7% BUA\]. NOTE: Excluding the existing
BUA from the percent BUA calculation can only be done for project areas and not for SCM drainage areas (per 15A NCAC
02H .1003(3)(b), any off-site or existing areas draining to an SCM must be accounted for at their full build-out potential).
NOTE: Existing development/BUA is defined in 15A NCAC 02H .1002(17).

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Good morning,

We received your post-construction stormwater permit application for the above mentioned project on 10/25/2022.
Reviews under the standard permitting process generally take 75 calendar days, but can take up to 90 calendar days per
statute (our other reviewer, Corey Anen, no longer works for the State, so this review may exceed 75 days). 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.deq.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. 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.

Please type in permit #: SW1221002

If you have any questions, please contact Jim Farkas [e-mail] 919-707-3646.

Thank you,
