A recap of responses to your email are below: 1. The incorrect application version was used. Please use version FTA 10-23 — revised Oct 2023, which you can download from our website at the following location: https://www.deg.nc gov/about/divisions/water-resources/permitting/mµnicilW-nndes- pretreatment-and-collection-system/collection-systems/sewer-extension-permitting The FTA 10-23 application has been used for this submittal as requested 2. The incorrect fee was submitted. In accordance with North Carolina's 2023 Appropriations Act Session Law 2023-134 (effective July 1, 2023), fast track sewer application fees have been increased from $480 to $600. The previous check for $480 was received back and a new check In the amount of $600 is enclosed 3. The incorrect flow tracking form version was used. Please use flow tracking form version FTSE 10-23, which you can download from our website at the following location: hgps://www.deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/permitting/municipal-npdes- pretreatment-and-collection-system/collection-systems/sewer-extension-permitting The FTSE 10-23 form has been used for this submittal as requested 4. Section Il, question 4 of the application asks for the latitudeilongitude of the project in decimal format, not degrees, minutes, seconds format. The DMS Latitude and Longitude has been converted to decimal format. 5. The flows calculated in the flow table in Section VI question 7 are incorrect. If using the specifications listed in 15A NCAC 02T .0114, then the design flow for a four -bedroom home PO Box 669 Walkertown. NC 27051 336-748-0071 �% BEERBO X CBBTEB, PH. CIVILENGINEERS LAND SURVEYORS LAND PLANNING would be 480 gallons per day (GPD). If using the new specifications adopted under Session Law 2023-137 — Changes to Wastewater Design Flow Rates, the flow for a four -bedroom home would be 300 GPD. The new Session Law 2023-137 Design flow rate of 75 GPD per bedroom (300 GPD for 4 bedroom homes) has been used for this submittal. 6. Section VIII indicates a new pump station will be built with four 142 gallon per minute pumps. Using this number, the design flow of the pump station is miscalculated. There is no pump station as part of this project Mr. Marion included this information, referencing their existing facility, incorrectly. This change to the FTA did not get noticed prior to submission. 7. Your answer to question 5 in Section XI indicates the project requires 404 coverage but the required 404 information was not submitted with the application. The 4011404 permit documents have been induded in this submission. 8. Section X question 3 requires the applicant's signature authority's printed name on the first blank line, not their signature. Corrected on new submittal. 9. The flow tracking form is incorrect. It should reflect the W WTP's permitted flow. The Muddy Creek wastewater treatment plant's (WWTP) permitted flow is not 0.97 million gallons per day (MGD). A FTSE for the City of Sing gravity system and pump stations involved along with a FTSE for the WWTP under Winston Salem's system has been included in this submittal. 10. The flow tracking form is signed by Benjamin S. Marion. It must be signed by a duly appointed representative who has signature authority of the owner of Muddy Creek WWTP, i.e. the City of Winston-Salem, since their WWTP will be treating the wastewater generated by these new homes. Mr. Marion has signed the City of King FTSE and Ms. Driver has signed the Winston Salem FTSEfor their treatment facility allocation. These revisions and items provided hopefully address the items requested to allow for the submittal to be processed for review. PO Box 669 Walkertown, NC 27051 336-748-0071 BEE500 8 CRRTER, PR.

We are currently treating 589,360 gallons per day. With this estimated demand of an additional 6,000 gallons per day brings the total allocation to 595,360 gallons per day. Our contract with the City of King has a maximum discharge of 3,000,000 gallons per day; therefore, we should encounter no problems in treating the additional flow. The wastewater collection system serving this area is properly sized and maintained for this service. If you have any questions concerning this subject, please give me a call at (336) 747-6842.

If the culvert outlet is submerged within a pool or scour hole and designed to provide for aquatic passage, then culvert burial into the streambed is not required. For structures less than 72" in diameter/width, and topographic constraints indicate culvert slopes of greater than 2.5% culvert burial is not required, provided that all alternative options for flattening the slope have been investigated and aquatic life movement/connectivity has been provided when possible (e.g. rock ladders, cross -vanes, sills, baffles etc.). Notification, including supporting documentation to include a location map of the culvert, culvert profile drawings, and slope calculations, shall be provided to DWR 30 calendar days prior to the installation of the culvert. When bedrock is present in culvert locations, culvert burial is not required, provided that there is sufficient documentation of the presence of bedrock. Notification, including supporting documentation such as a location map of the culvert, geotechnical reports, photographs, etc. shall be provided to DWR a minimum of 30 calendar days prior to the installation of the culvert.
