Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality NOV 2 20" The subject project has been selected and reviewed as part of the Division's Fast -Track Program Audit. Under the Fast -Track program, initial design documents are not reviewed prior to permitting by the Division, as the professional engineer certifies that the project design is in accordance with our rules and minimum design criteria. This audit process ensures the terms of the Fast -Track program are followed, by technically reviewing the final design and construction record documents. Our audit disclosed the following deficiencies in the design, construction, and/or certification of the permitted project: 1. The pump station is not designed such that it is capable of conveying the peak hourly wastewater flow at build -out flow conditions. (Ref. Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains, Section 2.02 A.1, and the North Carolina Code 15A NCAC, Section 2H.0219(h)(2)). It states in your design that the estimated pumping rate with two pumps running is 139 GPM which would meet peak flows at build -out flow. Minimum design requires the pump station to be capable of conveying the peak hourly wastewater flow to its desired outfall location with the largest single pump out of service. Due to the nature of the violations discovered during the audit process, it will be necessary for the Eastover Sanitary District to take any necessary corrective action to bring the project into compliance with the Division of Water Quality's NCAC 2H .0200 rules, the permit and our minimum design criteria document(s). The Eastover Sanitary District, as the Permittee, is responsible for ensuring compliance. Violations of Water Quality Statutes and Regulations can result in the assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day, per violation.

DEC 13 2006 Please find the attached Sewer Permit Modification to the permit referenced above. After receiving NOV-2006-PC-0506 and discussing the pump station design with yourself and Seth Roberston, it was determined that the permitted future capacity should be 49,500. This average daily flow, with a peaking factor of 2.5, can be pumped with the installed pump (without adjusting the pump belts) with an assumed future C value of 120—with only one pump running. This capacity of 49,500 meets expected build -out conditions to include the addition of 150 hotel rooms, 150 restaurant seats, 18 service station water closets/urinals, and 45 bar seats. Development in the area beyond this would require extension of existing lines and an additional permit.
