Dear . Comfort:
The Permits and Engineering Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject
application. The following items must be addressed before we can complete our review:
1) In accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0219 (1) (2), the Division requires that 60 gallperson
be used for boarding schools. If any of the students attending Ambassador Baptist College
live on the school property please revise your flow accordingly and submit three revised,
signed and sealed copies of page 2 of your permit application form. Please also revise your
pump station calculations to reflect the revised flow.
2) Please submit an up to date flow acceptance letter from the City of Shelby specifying
the amount of flow the City of Shelby agrees to accept from the Ambassador Baptist
College.
3) On February 1, 1993, the Division adopted new regulations that require that the
infiltration/exfiltration rate must not exceed 100 GPD per inch of pipe diameter per mile of
pipe. All sewer extension permit applications and specifications received on or after
February 1, 1993, rnust conform to these new regulations. Please resubmit three revised
copies of page 4 and page 9 of your specifications reflecting these changes.
4) Effective February 1, 1993, 15A NCAC 2H .0219 (h) (3) requires that "at least one of the
following shall be required for pump stations:
(A) dual source or standby power supply on site or,

(C) approval by the Director that the pump station:
i) serves a private water distribution system which has automatic shutoff at power
failure and no elevated water storage tanks, and
ii) has sufficient storage capacity that no potential for overflow exists, and
iii) is connected to facilities that can tolerate septic wastewater due to prolonged
detention or,
(D) where the waters that would be impacted by a power failure are classified as C, the
applicant may be allowed to show a history of power reliability that would
demonstrate that an alternative power source or other reliability measures would not
be needed.
5) Please provide documentation stating if the pump station for this project is existing. There
are notes on the pump station detail sheet that refer to existing flow and existing float
elevations.
6) Please be advised that the sewer laterals shown on the attached pages (highlighted in
yellow) need to be included on your permit application because they are considered
collection lines. Please include this amount of sewer line on page 3 of your permit
application and submit three revised, signed and sealed copies. Please also show the
profile of these laterals on the plans.
Refer to the subject permit application number when providing the requested information. Please
submit three (3) copies of all information to my attention at the address below. Also,
please note that failure to provide this additional information on or before December 30, 1993 will subject
your application to being returned as incomplete, in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0208.
