j. Documentation shall be kept for Subparagraphs (a) through (i) of this Rule for a minimum of three
years with exception of the map,which shall be maintained for the life of the system.
5. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to a water resources staff member at the Wilmington Regional
Office,telephone number(910)796-7215,as soon as possible,but in no case more than 24 hours,following
the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of either of the following:
a. Any process unit failure,due to known or unknown reasons,that renders the facility incapable of
adequate wastewater transport, such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, line blockage
or breakage,etc.; or
b. Any SSO and/or spill over 1,000 gallons;or
c. Any SSO and/or spill, regardless of volume,that reaches surface water
Voice mail messages or faxed information is permissible, but this shall not be considered as the initial
verbal report. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours may also be reported to the
Division of Emergency Management at telephone number (800) 858-0368 or (919) 733-3300. Persons
reporting any of the above occurrences shall file a spill report by completing and submitting Part I of Form
CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form) within five days following first knowledge of the
occurrence. This report must outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem
does not recur. Part II of Form CS-SSO(or the most current Division approved form)can also be completed
to show that the SSO was beyond control. [G.S. 143-215.1C(a1)]
6. Construction of the gravity sewers,pump stations,and force mains shall be scheduled so as not to interrupt
service by the existing utilities nor result in an overflow or bypass discharge of wastewater to the surface

7. Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of these permitted facilities, the completed
Engineering Certification form attached to this permit shall be submitted with the required supporting
documents to the address provided on the form. A complete certification is one where the form is fully
executed and the supporting documents are provided as applicable. Any wastewater flow made tributary
to the wastewater collection system extension prior to completion of this Engineer's Certification shall be
considered a violation of the permit and shall subject the Permittee to appropriate enforcement actions.
If the permit is issued to a private entity with an Operational Agreement,then a copy of the Articles of
Incorporation,Declarations/Covenants/Restrictions,and Bylaws that have been appropriately filed with
the applicable County's Register of Deeds office shall be submitted with the certification.
A complete certification is one where the form is fully executed and the supporting documents are
provided as applicable. Supporting documentation shall include the following:
Page 8 of 10
a. One copy of the project construction record drawings (plan & profile views of sewer lines & force
mains) of the wastewater collection system extension. Final record drawings should be clear on the
plans or on digital media (CD or DVD disk)and 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.
b. 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 the 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 but not limited to pipe length changes of 10% or greater,
increased flow, pump station design capacity design increases of 5% or greater, and 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.
[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. A copy of the construction record drawings shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for the life of the
wastewater collection facilities. [15A NCAC 02T.0116]
10. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit; 15A NCAC 2T; the Division's
Gravity Sewer Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996 as applicable; the Division's Minimum Design
Criteria for the Fast-Track Permitting of Pump Station and Force Mains adopted June 1,2000 as applicable;
and other supporting materials may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division, in
accordance with North Carolina General Statutes §143-215.6A through §143-215.6C, construction of
additional or replacement wastewater collection facilities, and/or referral of the North Carolina-licensed
Professional Engineer to the licensing board. [15A NCAC 02T.0108(b-c)]
11. In the event that the wastewater collection facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be
required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement facilities. [15A NCAC 02T
.0110; 15A NCAC 02T.0108(b)]
12. The issuance of this permit shall not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes, rules,
regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by the Division any other Federal, State, or Local
government agencies which have jurisdiction or obtaining other permits which maybe required by the
Division or any other Federal,State,of Local government agencies. [G.S.143-215.1(b)]

portable power source or pump is dedicated to multiple pump stations, an evaluation of all
the pump stations'storage capacities and the rotation schedule of the portable power source
or pump,including travel timeframes,shall be provided in the case of a multiple station power
outage.
