® A. Application Form - Submit one original and one copy of the completed and appropriately executed application
form. The application should include a project narrative describing the final build-out design (i.e. system and/or
pump station to ultimately serve 500 homes, but flow for only 100 homes being requested now). For modifications,
clearly explain the reason for the modification (i.e. adding another phase, changing line size/length, etc.). Only
include the modified information in this permit application - do not duplicate project information that has already
been included in the original permit.
Any changes to this form will result in the application being returned. The Division of Water Quality (Division)will
only accept application packages that have been fully completed with all applicable items addressed_ You do not
need to submit detailed plans and specifications unless you respond NO to Item 1303).
Separate applications should be made for non-contiguous sewer systems.
® B. Application Fee - Submit a check in the amount of $480 made payable to: North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources(NCDENR). Checks shall be dated within 90 days of application submittal.

privately-owned public utility, submit two copies of the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN)
which demonstrates that the public utility is authorized to hold the utility franchise for the area to be served by the
sewer extension. If a CPCN has not been issued, provide two copies of a letter from the North Carolina Utilities
Commission's Public Staff that states that an application for a franchise has been received, that the service area
is contiguous to an existing franchised area, and/or that franchise approval is expected. The project name in the
CPCN or letter must match that provided in Item A(2)a of this application.
❑ D. Operational Agreements —Submit one original and two copies of a properly executed operational agreement, as
per 15A NCAC 02T .0115, if the application is submitted by a private applicant and will be serving residential or
commercial lots (e.g., houses, condominiums, townhomes, outparcels, etc.) that will be sold to another entity. If
the applicant is a home or property owner's association, use Form HOA 02/03. If the applicant is a developer,
use Form DEV 02/03. EVEN IF THE PROJECT MAY BE TURNED OVER TO A MUNICIPALITY UPON
COMPLETION, FORM DEV 02/03 IS REQUIRED.
® E. Downstream Sewer, WWTF Capacity and Flow Tracking/Acceptance — FORM FTSE 10/07 (Flow
Tracking/Acceptance for Sewer Extension Permit Applications) is required with every application. The applicant
(and owners of downstream sewers, pump stations and/or treatment facilities submitting FORM FTSE-10/07)
certifies that, to the best of their knowledge, the addition of the volume of wastewater to be permitted in this
project has been evaluated along the route to the receiving treatment plant, and that the flow from this project will
not cause capacity related sanitary sewer overflows or overburden any downstream pump station en route to the
receiving wastewater treatment plant. Where the applicant is not the owner of the downstream sewer, submit two
copies of FORM FTSE 10/07 from the owner of the downstream sewer and owner of the WWTF, if different. The
flow acceptance indicated in FORM FTSE-10/07 must not expire prior to permit issuance and must be dated less
than one year prior to the application date. Submittal of this application and FORM FTSE-10/07 indicates that
owner has adequate capacity and will not violate G.S. 143-215.67(a). Intergovernmental agreements or other
contracts will not be accepted in lieu of project-specific FTSE 10/07.
® F Map— Submit an 8.5-inch by 11-inch COLOR copy of a USGS Topographic Map of sufficient scale to identify the
entire project area and the closest surface waters. Each map or maps must show the location of the sewer line
and pump stations and be of reproducible quality. Include a street level map showing the downstream connection
point, and the permit number for the downstream sevyer, if known.

❑ G. Stream Classifications — Watershed Classification Attachment (Form WACAS-12107) If any portion of the
project boundary is within 100 feet of any surface water or wetlands, the Watershed Classification Attachment
must be completed.
❑ H Environmental Assessments — If this project is subject to an Environmental Assessment (EA) [15A NCAC
01C], this application cannot be used. Send the project application on the most current version of Form
PSFMGSA to the Design Management Unit. 1633 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1633. Applications
cannot be accepted until a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
has been issued A copy is to be submitted with that permit application.
❑ i. Flow Direction — Many wastewater treatment systems are entering into agreements for regionalization efforts
and emergency treatment capacity. Parts of the system are installed so that the wastewater flow can be directed
to more than one treatment facility. If this is the case with this project, please indicate in B(12) and give the permit
number of the second treatment facility.
® J. Certifications—Section C
The application must be certified by both the applicant and the design engineer who is a North Carolina
Registered Professional Engineer (PE). The applicant signature must match the signing official listed in Item
A(lb). The PE should NOT certify the application if he/she is unfamiliar with 15A NCAC Chapter 2T, the Gravity
Sewer Minimum Design Criteria (most recent version) and the Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast-Track
Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains(most recent version), as applicable to the project.

Permit Corrections
♦ If a permit has been issued but an error discovered internally or by the Permittee or their engineer, a
permit correction is necessary.
♦ Pull the original permit and make the corrections - do not change issue dates or enter a new
application in BIMS-resave the permit.
♦ Prepare the permit correction cover letter modifying as applicable - the corrections need to be
distributed to the same people and/or agencies who received the original permit.
♦ Print the corrected permit and permit correction letter-sign if needed.
♦ Maintain Permit in BIMS-add permit corrected event date and comments as to what was corrected.
♦ Copy and distribute.
The Certification
♦ Final engineering certifications will be submitted back to your office when the project is complete.
These should be date stamped (the certification page, record drawings and calculations, if
applicable).
• Construction, Grants & Loans (CGL) may request and audit some of these certifications.
♦ Regardless of whether the region or CGL reviews a certification, the receipt date must be logged into
BIMS. Perform the following: Maintain Permit, Enter Permit No., Go to Events Tab,Add Event, Select
Engineering/Tech Specialist Certification Received, Enter Receipt Date.
♦ If the certification sheet is marked partial -put partial in the event comment field.
♦ If the certification seems incomplete - missing plans or calculations or no PE seal - note incomplete
in the comment field. Send an incomplete certification letter. The certification page in the permit
explains exactly what the engineer is to provide.
♦ If the certification is provided to CGL - maintain the engineer certification received event and put "to
CGL for review on DATE"in the event engineer certification received comment field.
♦ If the region wishes to perform a detailed review - look for items not meeting the minimum design
criteria or outside of the permit. For instance, minimum cover; slope; minimum separation distances;
line size changes; length; reroutes; more or less lots than permitted; pump station alarms; pump cycle
times; no indication of record drawing (as-builts) on plans; no PE seal or note about record drawings
(land surveyor seals are not appropriate).
♦ Regardless of review, certifications need to be processed as this closes out the permit. Follow the
processing engineering certifications guidance document.

FAST-TRACK APPLICATION REVIEW PROCEDURES (January 2009)
I
Project Name:��ISP )� D Review Date: f Z
Project Number: Reviewer: Barry Herzberg
All fast-track projects should be submitted on the application entitled "Fast-Track Application for
Gravity Sewers, Pump Stations, and Force Mains" (currently Form FTA 12/07 ver 5) unless
otherwise directed by PERCS or CG&L. Any pump station/force main projects that require an
Environmental Assessment (EA) are excluded from the Fast-Track review process, and should be
submitted for full review to CG&L. Additionally, any projects involving a flow reduction request
must receive approval for the flow reduction from PERCS.
PRE- EVIEW
Does the application package appear to be generally complete (i.e. all attachments, check, key
questions answered)? Applications, which are incomplete, have stale dated checks (over 90
days old), are lacking signatures, etc., should be returned to the Permittee with a copy to the
engineer. Any projects being returned should be returned prior to accepting the application (i.e.,
before logging in the application and depositing the check). After a project has been accepted,
any information that is found to be incorrect and/or lacking must be requested via an Additional
Information Request in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0107(e).
Be certain the check amount is $480.00, and is made out to NCDENR. All new projects and
major modifications to existing projects require an application fee. In general, a major
modification includes any changes to permitted flow volumes, changes in pipe diameter, changes
in pipe length, changes in the operating points of a pump station, etc. Minor modifications are
usually to correct errors in the issued permit.

Approval of flow to receiving sewers and WWTF? (Form FTSE - 10/07)
♦ Ensure that the receiving sewers and WWTF have adequate capacity available to accept the
flow volume that is being requested, and that the WWTF has been in compliance with their
treatment and disposal permit. Verify there are no SOC's or moratoria in place.
• Form FTSE —10/07 MUST BE INCLUDED in the application package. In addition, the FTSE
must be project specific. Do not accept a flow acceptance letter that was issued for any other
j project than that given in ' pplication.

FAST-TRACK Application Review Procedures (Rev 12/08)

Coordinator or the WQ Pretreatment Unit Central Office to determine if a pretreatment permit
is needed or if a program already in place and compliant.
f/ Flow volume calculated correctly? [15A NCAC 02T .0114]
• Ensure that the daily design flow in the application is based on the guidance provided in the
regulations or existing flow, and that the explanation as to how this volume was determined is
very specific (i.e., 22 three-bedroom homes, 50,000 s.f. of retail space, 18 employees, etc).
This information MUST be included in the description of the system in the permit. The code
section above gives 120 gpd/bedroom for residential. Note that for one-bedroom the
minimum they can use is 240 gpd.
♦ If daily design flow is not based on code values, ensure that the applicant has an approved
flow reduction of daily design flow rate on file with the Division. A list of approved flow
reductions may be obtained from PERCS. Flow reduction requests are to be reviewed by
CG&L, and must be reviewed and approved before the permit is issued.
• On occasion, there may be an instance where supporting documentation is submitted with
the application for a specific facility. Contact PERCS to determine a course of action.
♦ Ensure that the flows shown on the application match up to what is shown on the FTSE.
♦ Applications requesting ZERO flow still require the FTSE to confirm downstream capacity of
anticipated flows. Zero flow permits must contain language that explains why the permitted
flow is zero, e.g., Pump Station, Interceptor, etc.
Adequate information provided regarding the proposed gravity sewer and/or force main (if
applicable)? (Adequate info is pipe size and total installed length)
Nam` Adequate information provided regarding the proposed pump station(s) (if applicable)?
(Adequate info is HP, GPM, TDH and power reliability)
Project designed in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0305, the Gravity Sewer Minimum Design
Criteria and the Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast-Track Permitting of Pump Stations and
Force Mains document (as applicable)? Variance requests must be processed through CG&L for
approval.

FAST-TRACK Application Review Procedures (Rev 12/08)

♦ Ensure that ALL pertinent P.E's have active licenses by checking the NC Professional
Engineer's Board web site (www.ncbels.orcl). If the PE seal number does not show up on the
web site database, call the PE Board for verification [phone].
Drafting a Permit
♦ In order to be consistent, use the most current version of the Fast-Track permit shell. This permit
shell contains specific language with respect to the Minimum Design Criteria, regulations, and
collection system permitting. PERCS will notify you of any changes to this permit shell.
♦ Be specific with respect to the system description and information. Indicate the flow, what the project
will be serving, length and size of gravity sewer lines and force mains, etc. For projects involving
pump stations, the size of the pump stations, as well as the reliability option and any additional info
(telemetry, odor control system, etc)should be included.
♦ Add any special conditions as necessary. Please call attention to any non-standard permit conditions
in the cover letter of the permit and include the permit condition where necessary. See the Example
Special Conditions document.
♦ If the project is a modification, don't forget to include the system description from the previous permit
and void the previous permit in the language! Some of these can be tricky so feel free to run the
drafted permit through PERCS first before issuance.
♦ It is preferable if Fast-Tracks are saved electronically by permit number under issued year and month.
Denying a Project
♦ The initial review of any application should look for any reason that a permit might be denied.
Permit denials must be based on a failure of the project as proposed to meet EPA, SEPA,
NCAC or NCGS rules, regulations and/or statutes, or an inability to meet the Minimum Design
Criteria where a variance request is not granted.
• If the Reviewer and/or Supervisor determine that an application package should be denied because it
does meet NC Statutes, rules or regulations, then a request for additional information must be made.
If the additional info response does not resolve the reason(s) for denial, a denial letter should be
drafted. Special attention should be paid to the statutory deadline for permitting. If it is
thought that a project might be denied, it is important to review it and draft the denial letter as
soon as possible. There must be time allowed for the denial letter to be sent to the Director
and signed prior to the statutory date.
♦ The Reviewer should use the Application Denial Letter template to prepare a denial package for the
Supervisor's review and submittal to the Director for signature. The letter should not be dated, but
instead will be dated after the Director signs it. A memo to the Director should be attached to the top
of the denial package summarizing the reasons for denial. The reviewer, supervisor, Section Chief,
and Director all must sign this package. Distribute the letter as directed in "Issuing a Permit" below.
Issuing a Permit
♦ Permits should be signed only by those delegated to sign for the Director.
♦ Permits should be distributed as follows (include the signed Operational Agreement with the
permit and all distribution copies if applicable!):
✓ Original to the Permittee
✓ Copy to the consulting engineer
✓ Copy to the county health department
✓ Copy to the Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Protection for all projects located
in Mecklenburg County
✓ Copy to the owner of the WWTF and owner of the downstream sewers (if different than the
Permittee)
