Good morning,
We are in the process of reviewing the subject application and require additional information.
V1.6. flow reduction was checked "no" however the flow reduction letter was provided and the reduced flow was utilized
for the flow allocation for the project.
I can make this correction to "yes" on the application, but will need confirmation from the applicant and the engineer
who signed the application. Once this approval is received (can be via email), I can finish drafting the permit. Thank

III. Certification Statement:
I Chandra C. Farmer, 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 indicates acceptance of this wastewater flow.

)F`TSE PLANNING ASSESSMENT ADDENDUM (PAA)
Submit a planning assessment addendum for each pump station listed in Section 11 where Available
Capacity is < 0.
Pump Station (Name or Number):
Given that:
a. The proportion and amount of Obligated, Not Yet Tributary Daily Flow (C) accounts for
103% % and 0.2961 MGD of the Available Capacity (E) in Pump Station
Wilson Mills Rd ; and that
b. The rate of activation of this obligated, not yet tributary capacity is currently approximately
0.04 MGD per year; and that
c. A funded Capital Project that will provide the required planned capacity, namely
Wilsons Mills Road WWPS Upgrade is in design or under construction with
planned completion in 2021 or 80% ca aci ; andfor
d. The following applies:
Preliminary design of an u rade to the Wilson's Mills Rd WWPS (W005898) will
be included as a capital pro'ect in the FY 2018-19 budget.
The actual flow to the Wilson's Mills WWPS is only 40% of the capacity. An upgrade will
be designed and ready for when flow to the station approaches 80% of capacity.
Therefore:
Given reasonably expected conditions and planning information, there is sufficient justification to
allow this flow to be permitted, without a significant likelihood of over -allocating capacity in the
system infrastructure.
I understand that this does not relieve the collection system owner from complying with G.S. 143-
215.67(a) which prohibits the introduction of any waste in excess of the capacity of the waste
disposal system.

Residential Flow Reduction Approval
Johnston County
Dear Mr. Broome:
On February 22, 2005, the Division of Water Quality received a flow reduction request for
residences in Johnston County. The letter requests an allowable flow rate of 80 GPD per residential
bedroom based on the evaluated data for three similar existing subdivisions.
The water use data provided between November 2003 and October 2004 with daily readings
taken during November 2004 was analyzed by central office and regional office staff with additional
information requested. Based upon this data and the County response to our additional information
requests, the Division hereby approves the use of 80 GIRD per residential bedroom, with a minimum
of 160 gpd for one and two bedroom units in all applicable non -discharge permit applications.
Flow shall be incremented by 801gpd for each bedroom above two.. Regardless of the adjusted
design daily wastewater flow rate at no time shall the wastewater flows exceed the effluent limits
defined in the NPDES permit for the treatment -facility or exceed the capacity of the sewers
downstream of any new sewer extension or service connections . A permit modification and fee is
required to apply this flow reduction to any existing permits where flows have been allocated.
If you have any questions or commlents regarding this matter, please contact Marie Doklovic
at [phone] ext. 371.
Sincerely,
F01Alan W. Klimek, P.E.

Please find attached a Fast Track Application package for the subject project. Sierra Heights
is a multi -phase residential subdivision located off of SR 1903 (Vinson Road) in Johnston
County. The development proposes a total of 285 lots on approximately 190 acres. Sewer
from Sierra Heights is collected in a gravity system and flows through an outfall line to a
pump station located in The Knolls at the Neuse, a nearby residential subdivision.
• The first two phases of 110 lots, as well as the gravity outfall line, were issued an
approval (WQ 0031042) in November of 2006.
• Phase Three (59 lots) was issued an approval (WQ 0039421) in July of 2017.
• Phase Four (53 lots) was issued an approval (WQ 0040131) in July of 2018.
Phase Five is the last phase of 64 lots, with an anticipated flow of 15,360 GPD. Johnston
County has planned their collection and treatment systems anticipating full build -out of
Sierra Heights, so there should be no issue in their system as the lots are developed.
I trust that you find this satisfactory, but please do not hesitate to contact me at
[phone] or at richiehinespeQnc.rr.com if you have any questions or need additional
information. Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,
