Dear Mr. Dyer:
In accordance with your application received on September 10, 2004, and additional information
received on October 18 and 22, 2004, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0024496, dated
October 25, 2004, to Union County for the construction and operation of the subject wastewater
collection system extension. This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until rescinded,
and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. This cover letter shall be
considered a part of this permit and is therefore incorporated therein by reference.
Please pay particular attention to Permit Condition 3 which requires that the wastewater
collection facilities be properly operated and maintained in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0227 or any
individual system -wide collection system permit issued to the Permittee.
Permitting of this project does not constitute an acceptance of any part of the project that does
not meet 1) 15A NCAC 2H .0200; 2) the Division of Water Quality's (Division) Gravity Sewer Minimum
Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996, as applicable; 3) and the Division's Minimum Design
Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains adopted June 1, 2000, as
applicable, unless specifically mentioned herein. Division approval is based on acceptance of the
certification provided by a North Carolina -licensed Professional Engineer in the application. It shall be
the Permittee's responsibility to ensure that the as -constructed project meets the appropriate design
criteria and rules. Failure to comply may result in penalties in accordance with North Carolina General
Statute §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.

Carolina as amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations, permission is hereby
granted to Union County for the construction and operation of approximately 44 linear feet of 15-inch
gravity sewer; approximately 2,671.6 linear feet of 18-inch gravity sewer (upsizing from existing 15-inch
gravity sewer); and approximately 355 linear feet of 24-inch gravity sewer (upsizing from existing 18-
inch gravity sewer) as part of the East Side Sewer Rehabilitation Phase II project, with no additional
discharge of collected domestic wastewater (rehabilitation of existing sewer with no new flow expected)
into Union County's existing sewerage system, pursuant to the application received September 10,
2004, and in conformity with 15A NCAC 2H .0200; the Division's Gravity Sewer Minimum Design
Criteria adopted February 12, 1996, as applicable; the Division's Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -
Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains adopted June 1, 2000, as applicable; and other
supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources and considered a part of this permit.
The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the City of Monroe
WWTP (NPDES No. NC0024333) prior to being discharged into the receiving stream.
This permit shall become voidable unless the agreement between Union County and the City of
Monroe for collection and treatment of wastewater is in full force and effect.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of this
permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of North

Section B(1): Modification Attachment
This is a rehabilitation project consisting of cured -in -place pipe lining and pipe bursting
sewer mains. As part of the rehabilitation project, we are requesting a permit to upsize a
few of the sewer mains that are restricting flow and limiting the overall capacity of the
outfall. The existing lines identified to be upsized are steeper than minimum grade, as
designated by the Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria; however these sections are at
a much flatter grade than the majority of the outfall thus causing a restriction during
times of peak flow. The line segments we plan to upsize are listed in Section B(10). This
was discussed with Marie Doklovic and Sonja Williams with the Division of Water
Quality.
