CERTIFICATION: This project shall not be considered complete nor allowed to operate until the Division has
received this Engineer's Certification and all required supporting documentation. Consequently, the Permittee
should submit this certification in a manner that documents proof -of -receipt by the Division.
Complete and submit this unmodified form to the permit issuing regional office with the following:
• One copy of the project record drawings (plan & profile views of sewer lines & force mains) of the wastewater
collection system extension. Record drawings are defined as the design drawings that are marked up or
annotated with after construction information and show required buffers, separation distances, material
changes, etc.
• One copy of the supporting pump station design calculations (selected pumps, system curve, operating point,
buoyancy calculations, available storage if portable generator(s) or storage greater than longest past three
year outage reliability option selected) for any pump stations permitted as part of this project
• Changes to the project that do not result in non-compliance with this permit, regulations, or the minimum
design criteria should be clearly identified'on the record drawings, on this certification in the space provided,
or in written summary form.
PRIOR TO CERTIFICATION (FINAL OR PARTIAL)': Permit modifications are required for any changes resulting in non-
compliance with this permit (including total pipe length increase of 10% or greater, increased flow, or increases in
the number/type of connections), regulations, or the minimum design criteria. 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.
