III. Certification Statement:
I Chandra C. Farmer, PE 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 listed above in Sections I and II plus all attached planning assessment addendums for which I
am the responsible party. Signature of this form certifies that the receiving collection system or treatment
works has adequate capacity to transport and treat the proposed new wastewater.

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
37 %and 0.619 MGD of the Available Capacity(E) in Pump Station
Landfill EQ ; and that
b. The rate of activation of this obligated, not yet tributary capacity is currently approximately
0.2 MGD per year; and that
c. A funded Capital Project that will provide the required planned capacity, namely
Landsill Sewage Pump Station FM is in design or under construction with
planned completion in early 2024 ; and/or
d. The following applies:
The flow diverted by the project is currently received at the Landfill EQ facility.
The Landfill EQ facility is being upgraded to 8.75 MGD in capacity.
The station will be able to pump to both the CJRW WTF and the 210 W WTF.
The station will have girt removal units and 5.1 MG of storage for equalization.
The majority of the flow will be received at the County new 210 WWTF
when it is placed on-line in late 2024.
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
infrastntcture.
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.

CLEVELAND K-5 WWPS DIVERSION
309 E. M a rket St.
Smithfield, North Carolina 27577
JCPU Project# 22-120-S
October 2023

1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Cleveland K-5 WWPS Diversion installed a 4' diameter manhole and approximately 78 LF of 8" PVC
gravity sewer and abandoned portions of an existing system to bypass a pump station. The pump
station wet well had considerable corrosion issues and was in significant need of demolition to avoid
public health issues.
2.0 EXISTING SYSTEM
The original permit included two pump stations and two forcemains that manifolded together. The 80
GPM pump station and associated 9,000 LF of 4" forcemain along SR 1010 has already been abandoned
and no longer in service.
The 200 GPM pump station was located at Cleveland Elementary school and has been demolished and
abandoned along with—825 LF of 6"forcemain from the pump station to SR 1525. The remaining
-15,225 LF of 6"forcemain will remain in service to serve as a temporary route to avoid certain sections
of sewer during an emergency.
3.0 PROPOSED ADDITIONS
The proposed construction added—78 LF of 8" PVC gravity sewer and a 4'diameter manhole. The pipe
was laid as 0,97%. No new flow is expected. This now flows downstream to permit number
WQ037899Mod.
4.0 ADDITIONAL NOTES
This has been planned and under design, but had to be installed and pump station demolished. There
was an emergency when a discharge pipe failed expedited the need for it to be complete.
There was a pump station downstream that pumped into the now demolished pump station. This pump
station has since been abandoned under permit number WQ0024386MOD.

Subject: WQ0007172 - Permit Modification Application
All,
After reviewing the Fast Track Sewer System Extension Application for Cleveland K-5 WWPS Diversion, additional
information is required to further process the application. Please provide the following information by February
5, 2024, and note that the requested information must be submitted within 30 days of this request, or the
applicant will be required to submit a new application and application fee in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T
.0107.
1.According to the project narrative the 80GPM pump station and 9,000 linear feet of 4-inch force main that
was authorized for construction under permit WQ0007172 was abandoned at some time in the past, but
DWR has no record of a permit modification authorizing this change in permitted infrastructure. Please
provide a timeline detailing all changes (permitted and un-permitted)that have been made to the originally
permitted infrastructure.

a. It is likely that this previous, un-permitted change will need to be included in the current
modification request.
2.The wastewater generation table in section IV. 7. of the application indicates a flow of 13,750 GPD.The
current permit authorizes a flow of 25,000GPD.
a.Are you requesting a reduction in the flow authorized under this permit from 25,000GPD to
13,750GPD?
3. Please provide an aerial map with all system components clearly labeled and delineated.This map should
include current and previously existing system components and should make it as easy as possible for DWR
staff to understand the scope and history of this project.
4.The project narrative provided states that the flow authorized under permit WQ0007172 (25,000GPD) is
now being directed to system infrastructure authorized under permit WQ0037899. The authorized flow for
WQ0037899 is 21,550GPD. It appears that no permit modification application for permit WQ0037899 to
include this additional flow has been received by DWR at the time of this message.A permit modification
application requesting an increase of 25,000GPD in the permitted flow authorized by this permit should be
submitted immediately.
5.The project narrative for this permit modification states, "The remaining—15,225 LF of 6"forcemain will
remain in service as a temporary route to avoid certain sections of sewer during an emergency." Please
explain what sort(s) of emergencies you anticipate requiring this temporary re-routing.
Please make the needed corrections and clarifications and submit them on the current version of the application
form. A copy of the current form is attached.
Please note that permit modification applications should be completed as though the modification were newly
proposed infrastructure with the changes from the current permit detailed in the comprehensive project
narrative.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Per Subchapter 2T of North Carolina Administrative Code Title 15A:
15A NCAC 02T. .0107 Staff Review and Permit Preparation:
(e) If an application is accepted and later found to be incomplete,the applicant shall be advised how the
application or accompanying supporting information may be modified to make it complete.The staff shall advise
the applicant:
(1)that the 90 day processing period required in G.S. 143-215.1(d) and Rule .0108 of this Section begins on the
date the additional information is received; and
(2)that if all required information is not submitted within 30 days,the project will be returned as incomplete.Any
resubmittal of a returned application shall be accompanied with a new application fee.
