non-compliance with this permit (including pipe length increases of 10% or greater, increased flow,
pump station design capacity design increases of 5% or greater, and increases in the number/type

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.
7. 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.

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.
11. 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 other government agencies (local, state
and federal) which have jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable river buffer rules in 15A
NCAC 2B .0200, erosion and sedimentation control requirements in 15A NCAC Ch. 4 and under the
Division's General Permit NCG010000, and any requirements pertaining to wetlands under 15A

Regional Office, telephone number [phone], as soon as possible, but in no case more than
24 hours or on the next working day, following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence
of either of the following:
a. Any failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the system incapable of
adequate wastewater transport, such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, line
blockage or breakage, etc.: or
b. Any failure of a pumping station or sewer line resulting in a by-pass of any wastewater directly
to receiving waters from the station or sewer line.
Voice mail messages or faxed information is permissible, but 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 [phone] or [phone].
Persons reporting any of the above occurrences shall file a spill report by completing Part I of Form
CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form), within five days following first knowledge of
the occurrence. This report shall outline the actions taken or proposed 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.
13. Each pump station including simplex stations shall be clearly and conspicuously posted with the
vP--"$telephone number and name of the owner/operator of the sewer system and instructions to call
the number in the event of alarm activation.
14. A variance is granted to allow the use of wet well storage as the power reliability option for this
pump station pursuant to the engineers' emergency storage calculations provided to the
Wilmington Regional Office on July 30, 2007. These calculations support approximately 22 hours of
