RE: Trilogy Lake Norman — Parcel B/C Sewer Availability
Mr. Sauer,
This letter is provided in response to your request, dated March 19, 2020 for flow acceptance of the
wastewater treatment infrastructure (the "System") for the Trilogy Lake Norman— Parcel B/C
Development (the "Project"). Lincoln County (the "County") has the actual average daily flow capacity
at its Killian Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant to treat the domestic wastewater as requested, and does
conditionally grant approval for the Project, subject, however, to the terms and conditions below:
1. . The amount of flow requested for the Project is for 8 lots with a total flow of 0 gallons per
day into LS-37 as this is a permit modification to an already existing sewer permit (WQ0037632)
with available allocation remaining on the permit; and
2. For the NCDEQ Permits, the receiving sewer treatment facility is the Killian Creek WWTP,
Permit #NC 0088722. The sewer collections facility is the Lincoln County Sewer System, Permit
#WQCS 00149; and
3. The County shall not be named as the Permittee on NCDEQ system applications. You must
make the application to NCDEQ in your own name for the System; and
4. Acceptance of the System and transferal of the System to the County is subject to the
following:
a. A complete final inspection and approval of the System by the County, and receipt of other
applicable documentation requested by the County; and
b. Approval of the System by NCDEQ, and proof provided to the County of a valid permit issued
by NCDEQ with an Authorization to Construct (ATC); and
c. Initiating construction of the Project within two years of the date of this conditional approval.
You must notify the Lincoln County Public Works Department in writing when construction of
the Project is initiated; and
d. The County continuing to have actual average daily flow capacity to treat the domestic
wastewater as requested at the time all other conditions precedent have been satisfied.
This acceptance and allocation of flow shall only be effective upon your compliance with all of
the above terms and conditions and the County providing an acknowledgment that you have complied
with all of the above terms and conditions.
Included in this mailing is the Plow Tracking/Acceptance for Sewer Extension Permit
Applications (FTSE—10/18) with the County's portion completed.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me at 704-736-8497.

I Donald V. Chamblee 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 and treat the proposed new wastewater.
