Fast Track Application (FTA 04-16)
Stewart Project Number: X17017
To whom it may concern,
Please find the Fast Track Application for the referenced project enclosed. The
applicant is requesting a permit from the Division of Water Resources to extend a
sewer system pursuant to G.S. 1.43-215.1.
The project includes the construction of a private sanitary sewer extension to serve
a new 130-room hotel, including a new duplex pump station and approximately 913
linear feet of 2" force main piping. The pump station will combine effluent from two
laterals from the hotel building and an exterior pool. Approximately 85 linear feet of
8" gravity sewer lateral from the hotel building and 367 linear feet of 4" gravity
sewer lateral from the pool will be routed to the pump station. The proposed force
main will tie into an existing private force main located on -site and will eventually
discharge to a private on -site gravity wastewater collection system. The existing
private wastewater collection system eventually discharges into the public
wastewater collection system operated by Charlotte Water, The private system will
be owned, operated, and maintained by Carowinds, LLC. The wastewater
discharged from the hotel and ultimately treated by the wastewater treatment
facility (WWTP NC0024970) will be 100% domestic type waste.
Proposed Average Daily Design Flow from Hotel:
Office: 8 employees x 25 GPD/employee
Pool: 28 persons x 10 GPD/person
Hotel 30 rooms x 120 P© room

SUBJECT: CAPACITY ASSURANCE REVIEW
CAROWINDS SPRINGHILL SUITES HOTEL
14500 BEST DAY BLVD, CHARLOTTE NC
CLTWATER TRACKING# 2018297
A Capacity Assurance Review of the subject site has been completed and the following has been
determined:
After an analysis of the sanitary sewer associated with the proposed design of project 2018297,
Carowinds Springhill Suites Hotel, it was determined that there is sufficient capacity to accommodate the
proposed sewer flow of 16,080 gallons per day (8 emp x 25 gal/emp;28 persons x 10 gpd/person;130
rooms x 120 gpd/room) from this project for transmission to the McAlpine Creek Wastewater Treatment
Plant; NPDES permit number NC0024970, for treatment This acceptance of flow is based upon the
existing capacity of the designated publicly owned treatments works.
CLTWater agrees io furnish water to the subject project. The water quality to the subject project is
regulated by the State Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1986, and The Water Supply Management
Plan, PWS ID # 0160010, on file with the Public Water Supply Section of NCDEQ. However, CLTWater
cannot guarantee a constant pressure or quality of flow.
Due to the involvement of other agencies and continuing growth of the water and sewer system, the
ability to provide service for future projects cannot be guaranteed nor reserved. Connection to the
CLTWater and sewer system is accepted on a first come, first served basis.
The applicant should understand that this letter is not authorization to construct private water or sewer
systems, as the appropriate local or State permits are required prior to construction. if the appropriate
authorization to construct permits are not obtained and construction has not started within one (2) year of
issuance of this Capacity Assurance Review, and payment for any service connection(s) has not been
received within (2) year of issuance of this Capacity Assurance Review letter, this approval shall be
rescinded and a new Capacity Assurance Review must be made. If you have any questions, you may
contact me at [phone] or Justin Webster at [phone].

III. Certification Statement:
I Keri Cantrell certify to the best of my knowledge that the addition of
the volume of wastewater to be permitted in this project has been evaluated along the route to the
receiving wastewater treatment facility and that the flow from this project is not anticipated to
cause any capacity related sanitary sewer overflows or overburden any downstream pump station
en route to the receiving treatment plant under normal circumstances, given the implementation
of the planned improvements identified in the planning assessment where applicable. This
analysis has been performed in accordance with local established policies and procedures using
the best available data. This certification applies to those items Iisted above in Sections I and II
plus all attached planning assessment addendums 'for which I am the responsible party.
Signature of this form indicates acceptance of this wastewater flow.

PLANNING ASSESSMENT ADDENDUM (PAA)
Submit a planning assessment addendum for each pump station listed in Section II where Available
Capacity is < 0.
Pump Station (Name or Number):
Given that:
a. The proportion and amount of Obligated, Not Yet Tributary Daily Flow (C) accounts for
13.8 % and 0.663 MGD of the Available Capacity (E) in Pump Station
Steele Creek ; and that
b. The rate of activation of this obligated, not yet tributary capacity is currently approximately
0.663 MGD per year; and that
c. A funded Capital Project that will provide the required planned capacity, namely
Steele Creek LS Replacement is in design or under construction with
planned Completion in Q4 - 2 618 ; and/or
d. The following applies:
The Steele Creek Pump Station replacement project will provide a new
regional facility capable of handling build -out in the basin.
Construction is expected to be complete by Q4 - 2018
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.
I understand that this does not relieve the collection system owner from complying with G.S.
143-215.67(a) which prohibits the introduction of any waste in excess of the capacity of the
waste disposal system.
