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

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND NARRATIVE:
The proposed Sagecroft Phase 2 project is inside the City of Graham jurisdictional limits and is located on
the east side of East Gilbreath Street, between Ivey Road to the north and Waste Water Treatment Plant
Drive to the south. The scope of this phase of the project will include the construction of 53 single-
family, four -bedroom homes on 9.36 acres. The project is anticipated to generate 300 gallons per day
(gpd) of wastewater flows per single-family unit (75 gpd/bedroom) for a total development flow rate of
15,900 gpd.
The proposed Sagecroft Phase 2 gravity sanitary sewer system will consist of approximately 1,440 LF of
8" PVC pipe. It will connect to the previously approved Sagecroft Phase 1 sanitary sewer system (Permit
No. WQ0044130, Date of Approval: February 16, 2023), which connects to an existing 18" gravity sewer
line just upstream from the Graham Wastewater Treatment Facility (Permit No. NC 0021211).
The proposed project does not require coverage/authorization under a 404 Nationwide/individual permits
or 401 Water Quality Certifications.
The new gravity sanitary sewer system will be owned, operated, and maintained by the City of Graham.

PROJECT DESCRIPTION AND NARRATIVE:
The proposed Sagecroft Phase 2 project is inside the City of Graham jurisdictional limits and is located on
the east side of East Gilbreath Street, between Ivey Road to the north and Waste Water Treatment Plant
Drive to the south. The scope of this phase of the project will include the construction of 53 single-
family, four -bedroom homes on 9.36 acres. The project is anticipated to generate 300 gallons per day
(gpd) of wastewater flows per single-family unit (75 gpd/bedroom) for a total development flow rate of
15,900 gpd.
The proposed Sagecroft Phase 2 gravity sanitary sewer system will consist of approximately 1,440 LF of
8" PVC pipe. It will connect to the previously approved Sagecroft Phase 1 sanitary sewer system (Permit
No. WQ0044130, Date of Approval: February 16, 2023), which connects to an existing 18" gravity sewer
line just upstream from the Graham Wastewater Treatment Facility (Permit No. NC 0021211).
The proposed project does not require coverage/authorization under a 404 Nationwide/individual permits
or 401 Water Quality Certifications.
The new gravity sanitary sewer system will be owned, operated, and maintained by the City of Graham.

Subject: Residential Flow Reduction Approval
Graham Collection System (WQCS00065)
City of Graham
Alamance County
Dear Mr. Holland:
On January 10, 2023, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received a request for an
adjusted daily sewage flow rate (flow reduction) that would apply to all permitted but not yet
tributary residential connections and all future residential connections within the City of Graham
f.Yalkr/1K;&.l iXll
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0114(f)(2), the Division has evaluated the request, and
based on the data submitted, the Division hereby approves for use by the City of Graham an
adjusted daily sewage design flow rate with the following conditions:
• The flow reduction is applicable to residential single-family and multi -family dwellings
only.
• The minimum flow for 1- and 2- bedroom dwellings shall be 160 gallons per day.
• Each additional bedroom above two bedrooms shall increase the volume by 80 gallons
per day per bedroom.
• This flow reduction shall not apply to sewer extension applications and/or permits for any
other public or private organizations whose wastewater flows are or might become
tributary to the City of Graham collection system (WQCS00065).
Future sewer extension applications should be made using the flow reduction amount stated
above. All other aspects of the permitting process remain unchanged, and all applications must
be in compliance with the statutes, rules, regulations and minimum design criteria as certified by
the owner and engineer.

Regardless of the adjusted design daily wastewater flow rate, at no time shall the wastewater
flows exceed the effluent limits defined in the permit for the treatment facility or exceed the
capacity of the sewers downstream of any new sewer extension or service connection(s).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0114(f), the Division periodically requires reassessment of
wastewater flow data associated with the collection system or the receiving wastewater treatment
plant as applicable to confirm the suitability of the approved flow reduction value. The City of
Graham shall submit documented, representative data in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T
.0114(f)(1)(A-H) prior to January 31, 2031. Failure to submit the required data by this date will
result in this flow reduction approval letter becoming null and void. Upon review of the data the
Division shall either reapprove, modify or not grant reapproval for the previously approved flow
reduction value.
The granting of this flow reduction does not prohibit the Division from reopening, revoking,
reissuing and/or modifying the flow reduction as allowed by the laws, rules, and regulations
contained in 15A NCAC 02T, NCGS 143-215.1, or as needed to address changes in State and/or
Federal regulations with respect to wastewater collection systems, protection of surface waters,
and/or wastewater treatment.
