operation of the subject sewer extension. In emails sent February 13, 2019 and December 19, 2019, by
Christyn Fertenbaugh, P.E., your engineer was asked to provide additional information (copy attached) in

Hello,
As I am doing my end-of-year file cleanup, I have noted that my records indicate that I have not yet received a response
for the additional information request as sent on February 13, 2019 (copied below),for the subject permit application
for the Riley Meadows sewer extension located in Mecklenburg County. Please provide a complete response to the
comments below by Friday,January 10,2020. Failure to respond will result in the application being returned as
incomplete and the documents recycled, per 15A NCAC 02T.0107(e)(2). If you have decided to not pursue this permit
application, please let me know and I will withdraw the application.
Please be advised that operating a non-discharge system (including sewer extensions)without a valid Wastewater
Collection Permit may subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to$10,000 per day.
If you have any questions, please let me know.Thanks!
