M. Certification Statement:
I Paul A Weeks, Jr. P.E certify to the best of my knowledge that the addition of
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
am the responsible party. Signature of this form certifies that the receiving collection system or treatment
works has adequate capacity to transport anoAoatthe prroposed new wastewater.

RE: Fast Track Sewer System Extension Permit

Ascend Academy Expansion
COVER LETTER
26017
NCDeptofEnvironmental Quality
Raleigh Regional Office
Please find attached a Fast Track Sewer Extension Permit application for the subject
project. See the attached transmittal letter for a listing of application materials submitted.
The new public sewer will serve a charter school campus containing two buildings, one
of which will be removed as the school is phased into their new building. Per the NC 2T
rules, the school is designated as a school without cafeteria, gym, and showers for flow
calculations. This designation requires 10 gal per student for flow allocations. The
school is chartered for 560 students resulting in a daily flow of 5,600 GPD. A flow
acceptance letter is included with this application to account for these sanitary flows.
The sewer extension covered by this Fast Track Sewer System Extension Permit will be
applied for by the City of Sanford and built by BC Construction group who is under
contract with the Charter School Developer.
Please let me know if additional information is needed for review and approval.
