Requested modifications or variances to the Minimum Design Criteria will be reviewed on a case -by -case basis and each on its own merit. Please note that variances to the Minimum Design Criteria should be requested and approved during the permitting process prior to construction. After -construction requests are discouraged by the Division and may not be approved, thus requiring replacement or repair prior to certification & activation. [15A NCAC 02T .0116] 8. Gravity sewers installed greater than ten percent below the minimum required slope per the Division's Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria shall not be acceptable and shall not be certified until corrected. If there is an unforeseen obstacle in the field where all viable solutions have been examined, a slope variance can be requested from the Division with firm supporting documentation. This shall be done through a permit modification with fee. Such variance requests will be evaluated on a case -by -case basis. Resolution of such request shall be evident prior to completing and submitting the construction certification. [ 15A NCAC 02T.0105(n)] 9.

The work includes roadway, public water utility, sanitary sewer and storm drainage infrastructure to serve it. This phase includes 62 single family residential lots. All lots will ultimately gravity flow to a previously permitted pump station in the Phase 15 North area (Permit #WQ0038321). A pump station for the western portion of the phase will be needed and will be submitted for permits at a later date with the 4" force main being applied for in this submittal. Per agreement with DWR as of September 30, 2013, a flow reduction was granted for the Briar Chapel development for 56 gallons per day per bedroom. Based on a letter issued to DWR by CE Group on behalf of the project, paper flow rates of 190 GPD/Home will be used moving forward on this project. Average daily flow data provided in the attached FTSE is based on the highest average daily flow reported in November 2017. Paper flow is determined based on permitted lots which have not yet become tributary to the system, based on sales data provided by the developer at the time of submittal. Summary of Sewer Lines to be permitted: • 1,693 LF of 8-inch PVC gravity sewer • 707 LF of 8-inch DIP gravity sewer • 1,210 LF of 4-inch DIP force main Serving 62 lots @ 190/gpd/lot discharging 11,780 gpd.
