dynamic head pump station equipped with an on -site audible and visual high water alarms, telemetry,
and a permanent generator with automatic transfer switch; as well as approximately 4,066 linear feet of
4-inch force main to serve 73 single family 3 bedrooms homes and clubhouse as part of Ingleside Farm

7. Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of these permitted facilities, the completed
Engineering Certification form with checklist attached to this permit shall be submitted with the
required supporting documents to the address provided on the form. A complete certification is one

velocity, pump cycle times, and level control settings, pump station buoyancy, wet well storage,

DocuSign Envelope ID: ECC1E74E-87E7-4F52-9E2C-C1CD82AAB9F1
surge protection, detention time in the wet well, and force main, ability to flush low points in
force mains with a pump cycle, and downstream sewer capacity analysis. If a portable power
source or pump is dedicated to multiple stations, an evaluation of all the pump stations' storage
capacities and the rotation schedule of the portable power source or pump, include travel
timeframes, shall be provided.
c. Changes to the project that do not result in non-compliance with this permit, regulations, or the
Minimum Design Criteria should be clearly identified on the record drawings, on the
certification in the space provided, or in written summary form.
Prior to Certification (Final or Partial): Permit modifications are required for any changes resulting
in non-compliance with this permit (including but not limited to pipe length changes of 10% or
greater, increased flow, pump station design capacity design increases of 5% or greater, and
increases in the number/type of connections), regulations, or the Minimum Design Criteria.
Requested modifications or variances to the Minimum Design Criteria will be reviewed on a case -
by -case basis and each on its own merit. Please note that variances to the Minimum Design Criteria
should be requested and approved during the permitting process prior to construction. After -
construction requests are discouraged by the Division and may not be approved, thus requiring
replacement or repair prior to certification & activation. [15A NCAC 02T .0116]
8. Gravity sewers installed greater than ten percent below the minimum required slope per the
Division's Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria shall not be acceptable and shall not be certified
until corrected. If there is an unforeseen obstacle in the field where all viable solutions have been
examined, a slope variance can be requested from the Division with firm supporting documentation.
This shall be done through a permit modification with fee. Such variance requests will be evaluated
on a case -by -case basis. Resolution of such request shall be evident prior to completing and submitting
the construction certification. [ 15A NCAC 02T.0105(n)]
9. A copy of the construction record drawings shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for the life of
the wastewater collection facilities. [15A NCAC 02T .0116]
10. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit; 15A NCAC 2T; the Division's
Gravity Sewer Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996, as applicable; the Division's Minimum
Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Station and Force Mains adopted June 1, 2000,
as applicable; and other supporting materials may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by
the Division, in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes §143-215.6A through §143-215.6C,
construction of additional or replacement wastewater collection facilities, and/or referral of the North
Carolina -licensed Professional Engineer to the licensing board. [15A NCAC 02T .0104; 15A NCAC 02T
.0108(b-c)]
11. In the event that the wastewater collection facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those
as may be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement facilities.
[15A NCAC 02T .0110; 15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)1
12. The issuance of this permit shall not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes,
rules, regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by the Division any other Federal, State, or
Local government agencies which have jurisdiction or obtaining other permits which may be required
by the Division or any other Federal, State, of Local government agencies. [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
