E BEC3tOAt,
The purpose of this letter is to give a background on the current and proposed wastewater collection system proposed to
serve the new Covington Subdivision Phase I, a 93 single family residential lot project located near Lake Norman in
Lincoln. County.
The developer has installed gravity sewer to serve 74 lots in Phase I A (WQ 0037702) and Phase T B (WQ 0037942). Due to
existing topography and proposed site grading, Phase I C of Covington Subdivision, consisting of 19 lots, will have to rely
on an alternative sewer design to reach the installed gravity sewer in Phase I B (WQ 0037942) permitted previously.
The Engineer is proposing a low pressure sewer system consisting of a 2-inch collection line, individual simplex sewage
grinder pump station and all associated appurtenances. The collection main will be installed in the road right of way of
Barnstone Court. The flow from the proposed collection system will flow into a previously approved gravity sewer system
that flows to an existing pump station owned and operated by Lincoln County. This Phase 1 B sewage pump station is
handling flows from 39 SFR lots with a flow of 9,360 GPD. The flow from this low pressure sewer extension will generate
an additional 4,560 GPD with a total daily design flow of 13,920 GPD.
Included in this attached submittal are the following items as requested:
A. Application fee of $480 made payable to NCDENR
B. Alternative sewer extension application for ASEA 04-16
C. Section X & X1 were not included since they were permitted under a separate phase and will be owned and
operated by Lincoln County.
l t. WSCAS 08-13 is provided since a portion of this project is within 100 feet of surface waters or wetlands.
E. Flow Tracking Acceptance Form FTSE 04-16 has been completed by Lincoln County and is included in this
submittal.
F. 11x17 sheets with profile of low pressure sewer and previously approved gravity sewer that will be Owned and
Operated by Lincoln County.
G. Two sets of Engineering Plans that have been signed and sealed by Donald L. Munday, PE are included with this
submittal as requested. These plans include all pertinent information required per ASEA 10-14 Section H.
H. Two sets of Engineering Specifications that have been signed and sealed by Donald L. Munday, PE are included
with this submittal as requested. These plans include all pertinent information required per ASEA 10-14 Section 1.
1. Two sets of Engineering Calculations that have been signed and sealed by Donald L. Munday, PE are included
with this submittal as requested. These plans include all pertinent information required per ASEA 10-14 Section J.
J. The downstream sewer evaluation of the gravity sewer portion previously approved has been included in this.
submittal.
K. Since this project is contingent upon the gravity sewer system in Phase 1 B, the existing permit for Phase 1 B has
been included with this submittal.
L. Power Reliability Report from Duke Energy has been included with this submittal.

M. No Final Environmental Document is required for this project.
N. No Certificate for Public Conveyance and Necessity is required for this project.
O. Operational Agreement Form HOA 08-13 has been included with this submittal.

Residential Flow Reduction
Lincoln County
Dear Mr. Henderson:
On January 29, 2007 the Division of Water Quality (now Division of Water Resources) granted a
flow reduction for residential flow to Middle Forney Creek. WWTP (NC0074012). Middle Forney
Creek has been decommissioned and the NPDES permit rescinded. The flow previously being
treated at Middle Forney Creek WWTP is now being treated at Killian Creek. WWTP. All areas
currently served by Killian Creek WWTP and conveyed through pump stations # 15 and # 37
were included in the analysis done for the flow reduction granted in 2007.
Based upon the data provided by the County for the 2007 flow reduction, the Division of Water
Resources hereby approves the use of 80 GPD per residential bedroom, with a minimum of 160
gpd for one and two bedroom units in all applicable non -discharge permit applications to Killian
Creek WWTP (NC0088722). How shall be incremented by 80 gpd for each bedroom above two.
Regardless of the adjusted design daily wastewater flow rate, at no time shall the wastewater
flows exceed the effluent limits defined in the NPDES permit for the treatment facility of exceed
the capacity of the sewers downstream of nay new sewer extensions or service connection(s).
The granting of this flow reduction does not prohibit the Division from reopening, revoking,
reissuing and /or modifying the flow reduction as allowed by the laws, rules, and regulation
contained in 15A NCAC 02T, NCGS 143-2.1.5.1, or as needed to address changed in State and/or
Federal regulations with respect to wastewater collection systems, protection of surface waters
and/or wastewater treatment.

Instructions for Flow Tracking/Acceptance form (FTSE) and Planning Assessment Addendum (PAA)
Section I
a. WWTP Facility Name: Enter the name of the WWTP that will receive the wastewater flow.
b. WWTP Facility Permit #: Enter the NPDES or Non -Discharge number for the WWTP receiving the
wastewater flow.
c. WWTP facility's permitted flow, MGD: From WWTP owner's NPDES or Non -Discharge permit.
d. Estimated obligated flow not yet tributary to the WWTP, MGD: This includes flows allocated to
other construction projects not yet contributing flow to the collection system. Flows allocated through
interlocal agreements or other contracts not yet contributing flow to the collection system are also
included. For POTWs that implement a pretreatment program, include flows allocated to industrial
users who may not be using all of their flow allocation. Please contact your Pretreatment Coordinator
for information on industrial flow tributary to your WWTP.
As of January 15, 2008 the POTW should have reviewed flow allocations made over the last two
years and reconciled their flow records, to the best of their ability, so it is known how much flow has
been obligated and is not yet been made tributary to the WWTP, in accordance with local policies and
procedures employed by the reporting entity.
e. WWTP facility's actual avg. flow, MGD: Previous 12 month average.
f. Total flow for this specific request, MGD: Enter the requested flow volume.
g. Total actual and obligated flows to the facility, MGD Equals [d + e + f]
h. Percent of permitted flow used: Equals [(g / c)*100]
For example:
On January 15 a POTW with a permitted flow of 6.0 MGD, reported to the Regional Office that there
is 0.5 MGD of flow that is obligated but not yet tributary. The annual average flow for 2007 is 2.7
MGD. There is a proposed flow expansion of 0.015 MGD.
The first Form FTSE submitted after January 15, 2008 may have numbers like this:
c. = 6.0 MGD
d. = 0.5 MGD
e. = 2.7 MGD
f.=0.015MGD
g. = 3.215 MGD
h. = 53.6 %
The next Form FTSE may be updated like this with a proposed flow expansion of 0.102 MGD:
c. = 6.0 MGD
d. = 0.515 MGD
e. = 2.73 MGD
f. = 0.102 MGD
g. = 3.349 MGD
h. = 55.8%
Each subsequent FTSE form will be updated in the same manner.

FTSE 04-16

Section II
List the pump station name or number and approximate pump station firm capacity, approximate design
average daily flow (A) approximate current average daily flow (B), and the obligated, not yet tributary
flow through the pump station (C) for each pump station that will be impacted by the proposed sewer
extension project. Calculate the total current flow plus obligated flow (D=B+C) and the available
capacity (E=A-D). Include the proposed flow for this project with other obligated flows that have been
approved for the pump station but are not yet tributary (C).
Firm capacity is the maximumpumped flow that can be achieved with the largest pump out of service as
per the Minimum Design Criteria.
Design Average Daily Flow is the firm capacity of the pump station divided by a peaking factor (pf) of
not Tess than 2.5.
If the available capacity (E) for any pump station is < 0, then prepare a planning assessment for that pump
station if the system has future specific plans related to capacity that should be considered in the
permitting process.

Planning Assessment Addendum Instructions
Submit a planning assessment addendum for each pump station listed in Section II where available
capacity is < 0.
A planning assessment for Kaw Creek PS (see example data above) may be performed to evaluate
whether there is significant likelihood that needed improvements or reductions in obligated flows will be
in place prior to activating the flows from the proposed sewer extension project.
If the system decides to accept the flow based on a planning assessment addendum, it is responsible to
manage the flow without capacity related sanitary overflows and must take all steps necessary to
complete the project or control the rate of flow to prevent sanitary sewer overflows.
The planning assessment may identify a funded project currently in design or construction, or a planned
project in the future not yet funded but in a formal plan adopted by the system. The system should
carefully weigh the certainty of successful timely project completion for any expansion, flow
management diversion or infiltration and inflow elimination projects that are the foundation of a planned
solution to capacity tracking and acceptance compliance.
For example:
Given that:
a. The proportion and amount of obligated, not yet tributary flow accounts for 24 % and 0.080
MGD of the committed flow in Pump Station Kaw Creek; and that
b. The rate of activation of this obligated, not yet tributary capacity is currently approximately 0.01
MGD per year; and that
c. A funded capital project that will provide the required planned capacity, namely
is in design or under construction with
planned completion in ; and/or
d. The following applies:
The master plan and ten year capital plan contain recommended scope and funding for a capital project
entitled Kaw Creek Pump Station upgrade with funding planned in July 2014. This project is planned to
add 0.100 MGD to the firm capacity of the pump station by October 2015. Inclusion of this proposed
capital project as a condition of this Flow Tracking/Acceptance for Sewer Extension Permit Application
elevates this project's priority for funding and construction to be implemented ahead of the activation of
obligated, not yet tributary flows in amounts that exceed the firm pump station capacities identified in
Section II above.
Therefore:
Given reasonably expected conditions and planning information, there is sufficient justification to allow
this flow to be permitted, without a significant likelihood of over -allocating capacity in the system
infrastructure.

E. Fiberglass Basin Installation
The purpose of this guide is to provide a brief reference to the recommended methods and
procedures for installing Topp Industries, Inc. underground sump and sewage basins to ensure that
damage or premature failure of the basin does not occur.
Studies conducted by both environmental regulatory agencies and trade organizations demonstrate
that the most significant source of leaks and failures in underground storage systems are improper
handling and installation. Proper handling and installation requires practical experience combined
with strict adherence to proven methods and procedures.
This guide is not intended to serve as a basic instructional manual. The installation of our sump and
sewage basins is a specialized skill; it is assumed that the individuals who install our products and
refer to this guide will have a basic understanding of such procedures as exacting, backfilling,
pipefitting, and electrical work. No amount of written instruction by a manufacture or a regulatory
agency will convert an inexperienced, under -supervised laborer into a skilled, experienced mechanic.
The ability to recognize and correctly respond to abnormal conditions during a basin installation
requires field experience as well as mechanical aptitude.
Covington Phase I C Low Pressure Sewer System 9 July 14, 2015
Lincoln County, NC Revised July 19, 2015

In addition to proper system engineering and competent manufacturing, the use of basin installers
who have both practical experience and integrity to insist that the basin be installed properly
constitutes the greatest protection from catastrophic basin failure and liability exposure.
Disclaimer
Topp Industries, Inc. and its agents to ensure the accuracy and reliability of the information contained
in this reference guide have put every reasonable effort forth, However, neither Topp Industries, Inc.,
its agents, nor its consultant make any effort representation, warranty, or guarantee in connection
with the publication of these recommended methods and procedures. Topp Industries, Inc. hereby
disclaims any reliability for loss or damage resulting from their use„ for the violation of any federal,
state, county, or municipal regulations with which these recommended methods and procedures may
conflict; or for the infringement of any patent resulting from use of these recommended methods and
procedures. These handling and installation instructions are not intended to preclude normal safety
procedures, which should be followed to prevent injury to personnel.
SAFE INSTALLATION PROCEDURES SHALL BE ENTIRELY THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE
INSTALLER
General Handling
Although the exterior surfaces of our fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) sump and sewage basins are
designed to withstand normal handling, they can be damaged during transportation and installation.
Basins must not be dropped, dragged, or handled with sharp objects and with the exception of
minimal movement involved in a visual inspection, should not be rolled,
If the basin or its shell is damaged, 'installation should be suspended until Topp Industries, Inc. or its
agent can make a determination of the extent of damage. All repairs must be authorized in writing by
Topp Industries, Inc. and then be done in accordance with Topp industries, Inc. instructions.
Unloading, Lifting, and Lowering
The proper way of moving a basin is by lifting it, using chains or cables with the optional lifting lugs
(not more than 30° included angle) or by using a non -marring sling around the basin, Before any
attempt is made to move a basin, it should be established that all of the equipment and accessories
have sufficient capacity and reach to lift and lower the basins without dragging and/or dropping.
Basins should be maneuvered with guide ropes attached to the sides.
WARNING!
Under no circumstances is the use of chains or cables around the basin shell permitted.
Storage
Basins should be stared in a secure, controlled area where the potential for accidental damage or
vandalism will be minimized, The storage area should be free from sharp objects, rocks and any other
foreign solutions or materials that could cause damage to the basins. Chock the basins until needed
for installation and if windy conditions are possible, secure the basins with non -marring restraints of a
size and number adequate for securing the basin,
Pre -installation Inspection
Basins, valves, equipment, and piping materials should be physically and visually inspected before
installation, Adherence to the project's specifications should also be confirmed before installation. If
damage to the basin or any of its internal components, installation should be suspended until Topp
Industries, Inc. or its agent can make a determination of the extent of damage. Any repairs must be
first authorized in writing by Topp Industries, Inc., and then completed in accordance with Topp
Industries, Inc, instructions.
Excavating
Excavating should provide adequate space for the basin, piping, and other buried equipment and for
the replacement and compaction of backfill materials particularly around the basin walls. The size,
shape, and wall slope of the excavation should be determined by soil conditions, depth of excavation,
shoring requirements, and if workers are required to enter the excavation, safety considerations and
federal, state, county, and municipal regulations.
WARNING!
Covington Phase 1 (' Low Pressure Sewer System.
Lincoln (.'ounty, NC
July t4,2015
Revised July 19, 2015

Locate all overhead and underground utilities before excavating.
Location of Excavation
Excavation for an underground basin should be made with due care to avoid undermining foundations
of an existing structures and contact with underground utilities. In the absence of building codes or
regulations, maintain a minimum distance of five feet plus, a slope of 45° from the bottom of the
compacted sub -base to the bottom of the adjacent structures, foundations, footings, and property
lines. Additional distances may be required to assure that any loading carried or created by the
foundations and supports cannot be transferred to the basin(s).
Maximum Burial Depth
If burial depth is greater that the basin height, contact Topp Industries, Inc. to determine if additional
wall reinforcement is required and secure written authorization.
Handling of Excavated Materials
Excavated, materials, which cannot be removed from the jobsite, should be carefully stored as far
from the edge of the basin excavation as possible. Unless approved for use as backfill, excavation
materials should be securely stored separate from approved backfill materials.
Work Area Safety
Safe installation procedures shall be the sole responsibility of the basin installer. Work safety
requirements are defined in U.S. Department of Labor 29 CFR part 1926, subpart P, Excavations
Backfilling
General
Careful selection, placement, and compaction of approved backfill material are critical to a successful
basin installation. Among the common problems associated with basin leaks and premature failures
are:
Use of an incorrect backfill material
Inadequate or improper placement or compaction
Rocks, clods, or debris left in the excavation or basin
Voids under or around the perimeter of the basin
Failure to prevent the migration of backfill materials
Placement of Basin
The bottom of the basin excavation should be covered with suitably graded, leveled, and compacted
backfill material to a depth of at least 12 inches (compacted sub -base). If a concrete hold-down anti
-floatation pad is required; this bedding can be reduced to a depth of 6 inches. The basin should then
be carefully lowered into the excavation and centered on the compacted backfill or concrete pad.
WARNING!
Placement of a basin on a concrete pad or compacted sub -basin smaller than the total basin bottom
area or on intermediate supports (saddle) will cause uneven distribution of loads. This may contribute
to structural failure, and is never permitted.
Backfill Material
Backfill material should be clean, well granulated, free flowing, non -corrosive, and inert. It should be
free of ice, snow, debris, rock, or organic material, all of which could damage the basin and interfere
with the compaction of the backfill material. The largest particles should not be larger than 3/4 inches.
Not more than 3% (by weight) should pass through a #8 sieve, and the backfill material should
conform to ASTM C-33, Paragraph 9.1 requirements. Approved backfill materials include:
• Pea Gravel, naturally rounded particles with a minimum diameter of 1/8 inch and a maximum
diameter of 3/4 inch.
• Crushed Rock, washed and free flowing angular particles between 1/8 inch and 1/2 inch in
size
Placement and Compaction of Backfill
Covington Phase I C Low Pressure Sewer System 11 July 14, 2015
Lincoln County, NC Revised July 19, 2015

Compaction of backfill materials should be adequate to ensure the support of the basin, and to
prevent movement or settlement, Backfill materials should be placed in 12 inch lifts and compacted to
a minimum soil modulus of 700 pounds per square inch (psi
Supporting Piping, Equipment, and Accessories
Support for piping, equipment, and other accessories must be provided during backfilling. Using the
basin to support piping, equipment, cribbing, bracing, or blocking is never permitted.
During backfilling, temporary supporting materials must be carefully installed and removed to prevent
damage to the basin, piping, or equipment.
WARNING!
Using the basin to support any loading carried or created by piping, equipment, cribbing, bracing, or
blocking is never permitted.
Anchorage
General
When basin installations are located in areas subject to high water tables or flooding, provisions
should be made to prevent the basins, either empty or filled, from floating.
The buoyancy force to be offset is determined primarily by the volume of the basin.
The principal offsetting factors include:
Backfill materials
Concrete hold-down pad
Friction between the basin, backfill materials and the surrounding soil
Methods of Anchorage
All methods of anchoring basins use weight of the backfill materials to offset the buoyancy forces.
The use of supplemental mechanical anchoring methods (a concrete
Hold-down pad) increases the amount of backfill ballast, which is mechanically attached to the basin.
The recommended method of attachment is to pour concrete grout over the basin's anti -floatation
flange and concrete hold-down pad.
Anchorage Requirements
Requirements for anchorage, thickness of concrete hold-down pads, as well as the size of anchors
and reinforcement must be calculated for each installation based in the environmental conditions of
that specific installation.
WARNING!
Use "submerged" material weights when calculating anchorage requirements.
EXAMPLE: weight of concrete (150 pounds per cubic foot) minus the weight of the water (62.4
pounds per cubic foot) equals a "submerged" weight of 87.6 pounds per cubic foot
SECTION V TESTING
Operating Check and Adjustments
After all components of the system have been installed, the contractor shall schedule a time for the
checking of the system for proper operation. The check shall be performed in the presence of the
ORC, Contractor, Engineer and Owner. Any discrepancies shall be corrected until the system
operates as designed.
Inspect all of the collection system for line, grade, inverts, infiltration and leakage.
On completion of the line or sections of the lines, connections and appearances, the line shall be
filled and hydrostatically tested. The water for testing purposes can be taken from the nearest
available water main under the supervision of the Engineer's Inspector and leakage will be measured
by the Inspector. All leaks and any defective material shall be repaired or replaced to the satisfaction
of the Engineer and the tests repeated until the requirements of this specification are met.
Any special equipment, pumps, etc,, required to make the test shall be furnished and operated by the
Contractor as directed by the Inspector. It is recommended that the contractor run the system through
Covington Phase 1 C Low Pressure Sewer System 12 July 14, 2015
Lincoln County, NC Revised July 1.9, 2015

a system of dummy tests to ensure that the system is operating as designed before contacting the
Engineer to visit the site for testing observation.
The Contractor shall use great care to be sure that all air is expelled from each section under test. If
service connection or other openings are not available for the purposes of expelling air, the
Contractor shall provide air release of sufficient size (as determined by the Engineer).
The water for testing purposes can be taken from the nearest available water main under the
supervision of the Engineer's Inspector and leakage will be measured by the Inspector with a meter
furnished by the Contractor.
Specific procedures for testing main are as follows:
• The test pressure will be 100 PSI at the low point of the section under test.
• Allowable leakage will be determined by Table 6, AWWA C-600 (see below) or by the formula
1 = 0.000083(S)(D)
• Where S in the length of pipe under test and D is the pipe diameter.
(Add 0.0050 gal/hr. for each 1.5 inch lateral.)
• Pressure and leakage tests will be run concurrently and for duration of four hours except as
modified below.
• The Contractor will pressurize the line and verify that it is within allowable leakage before the
official test is started.
• The Inspector will begin the test and remain at the job for the first hour, making sure that the
test pressure is maintained within 5 PSI. The Contractor is to maintain the pressure within 5
PSI for the duration of the test period. At the end of the first hour, with the line pumped to full
test pressure, he will read the meter and record the first hour leakage. If the first hour
leakage is within allowable, he will return at the end of the fourth hour and again read the
meter. If the total leakage for the four-hour period does not exceed four times the first hour
leakage, the test will be terminated. If the total leakage exceeds four times the first hour
leakage, but is still within allowable, the test will be held an additional hour. if the fifth hour
leakage does not exceed the average hourly leakage for the first four hours, the test will be
terminated at the end of the fifth hour. Otherwise, the test will be held until the leakage is
non -increasing and within allowable for two consecutive hours.
• If leakage exceeds allowable for the four-hour test, the test will be terminated and re-
scheduled after the Contractor has verified that actual leakage is within the allowable
leakage, but no earlier than the next working day.
• If the first hour leakage does not exceed 15% of the allowable, or if the allowable leakage
rate does not exceed .4/gallhr, the test may be terminated at the end of two hours provided
the second hour leakage does not exceed the first hour leakage. If the second hour leakage
exceeds the first hour leakage, the test will be held for an additional period as described in
Paragraph (e) above.
• The maximum length of pipe testing in one test shall be 5,000 feet or as close to 5,000 feet
as possible depending on valve spacing.
• During the last stages of the test and without any reduction in pressure progressing from the
end opposite the test pump, each mainline valve will be closed and pressure released to
determine if the valve is holding pressure (minimum 10 minutes per valve closing).
The Contractor shall be required to provide as many tests and/or certifications as the Engineer may
deem necessary for materials, such as concrete, piping, valves, steel reinforcement, all fasteners and
anchorage systems, etc.
Required testing of pipelines and valves shall be done under the direct supervision of the Engineer.
Field-testing shall not negate the requirements for material certifications as contained in the material
specification section of this contract. Unless otherwise directed by the Engineer, all testing will be
completed prior to connection to the existing manhole.
Testing shall be done with all of the laterals tees installed with the gate valves in the off position. Turn
up for the upper end of the system shall be made inside of the existing manhole and extended up to
the rim with gauge installed. After the system has been accepted by the Engineer, the pipe shall be
cut off within 2 inches of the manhole wall.

Section I
a. WWTP Facility Name: Enter the name of the WWTP that will receive the wastewater flow.
b. WWTP Facility Permit #: Enter the NPDES or Non -Discharge number for the WWTP receiving the
wastewater flow.
c. WWTP facility's permitted flow, MGD: From WWTP owner's NPDES or Non -Discharge permit.
d. Estimated obligated flow not yet tributary to the WWTP, MGD: This includes flows allocated to
other construction projects not yet contributing flow to the collection system. Flows allocated through
interlocal agreements or other contracts not yet contributing flow to the collection system are also
included. For POTWs that implement a pretreatment program, include flows allocated to industrial
users who may not be using all of their flow allocation. Please contact your Pretreatment Coordinator
for information on industrial flow tributary to your WWTP.
As of January 15, 2008 the POTW should have reviewed flow allocations made over the last two
years and reconciled their flow records, to the best of their ability, so it is known how much flow has
been obligated and is not yet been made tributary to the WWTP, in accordance with Iocal policies and
procedures employed by the reporting entity.
e. WWTP facility's actual avg. flow, MGD: Previous 12 month average.
£ Total flow for this specific request, MGD: Enter the requested flow volume.
g. Total actual and obligated flows to the facility, MGD Equals [d + e + fj
h. Percent of permitted flow used: Equals [(g / c)* 100]
For example:
On January 15 a POTW with a permitted flow of 6.0 MGD, reported to the Regional Office that there
is 0.5 MGD of flow that is obligated but not yet tributary. The annual average flow for 2007 is 2.7
MGD. There is a proposed flow expansion of 0.015 MGD.
The first Form FTSE submitted after January 15, 2008 may have numbers like this:
c. = 6.0 MGD
d. = 0.5 MGD
e. = 2.7 MGD
f. = 0.015 MGD
g. = 3.215 MGD
h. = 53.6 %
The next Form FTSE may be updated like this with a proposed flow expansion of 0.102 MGD:
c. = 6.0 MGD
d. = 0.515 MGD
e. = 2.73 MGD
f. = 0.102 MGD
g. = 3.349 MGD
h.=55.8%
Each subsequent FTSE form will be updated in the same manner.

List the pump station name or number and approximate pump station firm capacity, approximate design
average daily flow (A) approximate current average daily flow (B), and the obligated, not yet tributary
flow through the pump station (C) for each pump station that will be impacted by the proposed sewer
extension project. Calculate the total current flow plus obligated flow (D=B+C) and the available
capacity (E=A-D). Include the proposed flow for this project with other obligated flows that have been
approved for the pump station but are not yet tributary (C).
Firm capacity is the maximum pumped flow that can be achieved with the largest pump out of service as
per the Minimum Design Criteria.
Design Average Daily Flow is the firm capacity of the pump station divided by a peaking factor (pf) of
not Iess than 2.5.
If the available capacity (E) for any pump station is < 0, then prepare a planning assessment for that pump
station if the system has future specific plans related to capacity that should be considered in the

Planning Assessment Addendum Instructions
Submit a planning assessment addendum for each pump station listed in Section II where available
capacity is < 0.
A planning assessment for Kaw Creek PS (see example data above) may be performed to evaluate
whether there is significant likelihood that needed improvements or reductions in obligated flows will be
in place prior to activating the flows from the proposed sewer extension project.
If the system decides to accept the flow based on a planning assessment addendum, it is responsible to
manage the flow without capacity related sanitary overflows and must take all steps necessary to
complete the project or control the rate of flow to prevent sanitary sewer overflows.
The planning assessment may identify a funded project currently in design or construction, or a planned
project in the future not yet funded but in a formal plan adopted by the system. The system should
carefully weigh the certainty of successful timely project completion for any expansion, flow
management diversion or infiltration and inflow elimination projects that are the foundation of a planned
solution to capacity tracking and acceptance compliance.
For example:
Given that:
a. The proportion and amount of obligated, not yet tributary flow accounts for 24 % and 0.080
MGD of the committed flow in Pump Station Kaw Creek; and that
b. The rate of activation of this obligated, not yet tributary capacity is currently approximately 0.01
MGD per year; and that
c. A funded capital project that will provide the required planned capacity, namely
is in design or under construction with
planned completion in _ _ ; and/or
d. The following applies:
The master plan and ten year capital plan contain recommended scope and funding for a capital project
entitled Kaw Creek Pump Station upgrade with funding planned in July 2014. This proiect is planned to
add 0.100 MGD to the firm capacity of the pump station by October 20I5. Inclusion of this proposed
capital project as a condition of this FIow Tracking/Acceptance for Sewer Extension Permit Application
elevates this project's priority for funding and construction to be implemented ahead of the activation of
obligated, not yet tributary flows in amounts that exceed the firm pump station capacities identified in
Section II above.
Therefore:
Given reasonably expected conditions and planning information, there is sufficient justification to allow
this flow to be permitted, without a significant likelihood of over -allocating capacity in the system
infrastructure.

4. The Development was created subject to unit ownership in the dwellings units, other improvements and
lands through filing of a Declaration of Unit Ownership (hereinafter Declaration), pursuant to Chapter 47C
or 47P of the North Carolina General Statutes.
5. The COMMISSION desires to assure that the Disposal System of the Development is properly
constructed, maintained and operated in accordance with law and permit provisions in order to protect the
quality of the waters of the State and the public interest therein.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the benefits to be derived by each of the parties
hereto, the COMMISSION and ASSOCIATION do hereby mutually agree as follows:
1. The ASSOCIATION shall construct the Disposal System and/or make any additions or modifications to
the Disposal System in accordance with the permit and plans and specifications hereafter issued and
approved by the COMMISSION, and shall thereafter properly operate and maintain such systems and
facilities in accordance with applicable permit provisions and law.
2. The ASSOCIATION shall provide in the Declaration and Association Bylaws that the Disposal System
and appurtenances thereto are part of the common elements and shall thereafter be properly maintained
and operated in conformity with law and the provisions of the permit for construction, operation, repair,
and maintenance of the system and facilities. The Declaration and Bylaws shall identify the entire
wastewater treatment, collection and disposal system as a common element which will receive the highest
priority for expenditures by the Association except for Federal, State, and local taxes and insurance.
FORM: HOA 08-13 Page 1 of 2

he ASSOCIATION shall provide in the Declaration and Association Bylaws that the Disposal System
will be maintained out of the common expenses. In order to assure that there shall be funds readily
available to repair, maintain, or construct the Disposal System beyond the routine operation and
maintenance expenses, the Declaration and Association Bylaws shall provide that a fund be created out of
the common expenses. Such fund shall be separate from the routine maintenance fund allocated for the
facility and shall be part of the yearly budget.

available to serve the Development, the ASSOCIATION shall take such action as is necessary to cause the
existing and future wastewater of the Development to be accepted and discharged into said governmental
system, and shall convey or transfer as much of the Disposal System and such necessary easements as the
governmental unit may require as condition of accepting the Development's wastewater.
6. Recognizing that it would be contrary to the public interest and to the public health, safety and welfare for
:•the'ASSOCIATION to enter into voluntary dissolution without having made adequate provision for the
continued proper maintenance, repair and operation of its Disposal System, the ASSOCIATION shall
provide in the ASSOCIATION Bylaws that the ASSOCIATION shall not enter into voluntary dissolution
without first having transferred its said system and facilities to some person, corporation or other entity
acceptable to and approved by the COMMISSION by the issuance of a permit.
7. The ASSOCIATION shall not transfer, convey, assign or otherwise relinquish or release its responsibility
for the operation and maintenance of its Disposal System until a permit has been reissued to the
ASSOCIATION'S successor.
8. The agreements set forth in numbered paragraphs 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7 above shall be conditions of any
permit issued by the COMMISSION to the ASSOCIATION for the construction, maintenance, repair and
operation of the Disposal System.
