Dear Mr. Coyle:
This letter is in reference to your permit major modification request received May 5, 2020.
During the pre -review process, it was noted that the following items were missing from the
submitted application package:
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T . 1104(a)(2)(A), the Applicant shall submit Engineering Plans that
have been signed, sealed, and dated by a licensed North Carolina Professional Engineer. The
submitted plans were sealed on multiple dates in April 2020 by Mark R. Sizemore (PE License
No. 19004), however, review of the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and
Surveyors directory (https://www.membersbase.com/ncbels/search) shows that Mr.
Sizemore's license is inactive. Accordingly, the Division cannot accept the submitted
Engineering Plans.
In addition, it should be noted that Mr. Sizemore may have inappropriately sealed the seven
plan sheets provided by FabTech. Pursuant to 21 NCAC 56 .0701(c)(3), a North Carolina
licensed Professional Engineer shall not affix their signature or seal to any "plan or document
not prepared under the licensee's direct supervisory control. Direct supervisory control
(responsible charge) requires a licensee or employee to carry out all client contacts, provide
internal and external financial control, oversee employee training, and exercise control and
supervision over all job requirements to include research, planning, design, field supervision
and work product review."
Please note that the North Carolina Board of Examiners for Engineers and Surveyors is copied
on this correspondence for their determination if the enclosed plans from FabTech have been
properly sealed in accordance with their rules.

Calculations that have been signed, sealed, and dated by a licensed North Carolina Professional
Engineer. Engineering Calculations shall include hydraulic and pollutant loading for each unit,
unit sizing criteria, hydraulic profile of the facilities, total dynamic head and system curve
analysis for each pump, and buoyancy calculations.
Accordingly, your permit major modification request is being returned as incomplete per the
requirements in 15A NCAC 02T .0107(b).
The success of the Water Quality Permitting Section's Non -Discharge Branch process depends
upon the receipt of complete and accurate applications and supporting documentation. Please amend the
application package to include the previously noted omitted items and resubmit with the appropriate permit
processing fee.
Please be advised that construction and/or operation of the subject facilities without a valid
permit is a violation of G.S. 143-215.1, and may subject you to appropriate enforcement actions in
accordance with G.S. 143-215.6A-6C. Civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation may be
assessed for failure to secure a valid permit.
