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 2T .0403 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 2T; 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

Just following up on the discharge: amount for Permit No. WQ003.3241 - Ezzell Valley. Thedischarge in the permit reads 19,5705 gallons
per day. It should read 19570 gpd. This may not seem like a big deal but the.developer of this subdivision is always looking for loopholes
and threatening lawsuits. Should it be revised or can you amend it by email?
The engineer for Newtown Garden is still curious if he can submit calculations on his wastewater permit based on a 'not yet approved'
variance. I am hesitant to allow this unless you are willing to allow calculations not strictly adhering to T-2. They want to submit the
variance and the flow application Simultaneously.

In response to your request, a flow acceptance study of the subject site has been completed and the
following has been determined:
Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities agrees to accept the gravity sewage flow of 19,570 gallons per day (103
single-family lots x 190 gpd/lot) from this project for transmission to the McAlpine Creek Wastewater
Treatment Plant; NPDES permit number NC0024970, for treatment. Please see attached basin map. This
acceptance of flow is based on the existing capacity of the designated publicly owned treatments works.
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
Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities 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 (1) year of
issuance of this flow acceptance, this flow acceptance approval shall be rescinded and a new flow
acceptance request must be made. If you have any questions, you may contact me at [phone].
