This permit shall be effective from the effective date of 04/01/2011 until 03/31/2016. This permit shall be subject
to the conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this permit. Please
pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit and any compliance schedules
shown in bold.
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly installed system
extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a separately owned sewer
system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations, force mains, low pressure sewer
systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping, valves and appurtenances that help to.
collect, manage and transport wastewater to a wastewater treatment plant under the Permittee's ownership or
maintained and operated by the Permittee through a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite systems are systems
tributary to the Permittee's collection system but those collection systems are not owned or maintained by the
Permittee. The system description provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant to provide a general idea about the
size of the system and may not be all inclusive of the collection system at the time of permit issuance or
afterward.
A release of wastewater from the wastewater collection system is referred to herein as a Sanitary Sewer Overflow
(SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options after a SSO will be determined considering the criteria listed in
condition I(2)(a) and 1(2)(b) of the permit and all other relevant information available or requested of the
Permittee. Compliance with all conditions of the permit as well as all statutes and regulations pertaining to the
collection system must be maintained or appropriate enforcement actions may be taken as noted in Condition

In accordance with your application received April 4, 2016, we. are forwarding herewith Permit No.
WQCS00103, dated April 12, 2016, to the Town of Andrews for the operation and maintenance of the subject
wastewater collection system. .
This permit shall be effective from April 1, 2016 until March 31, 2024 and shall be subject to the conditions
and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this permit. Please pay particular
attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit and any special conditions.
Changes have been made to the boiler plate language of the permit. Most of the.changes are for clarification
purposes, however Condition 1(3) has been removed. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
believes that condition was included erroneously in previous permits. It was included based on proposed
rulemaking by EPA which was never promulgated and, in the continued absence of Federal regulations, DEQ
lacks authority to include such language in a permit. DEQ will continue to exercise enforcement discretion
when evaluating sanitary sewer overflows that may be considered to be beyond the reasonable control of the
Permittee. A highlighted copy of the permit identifying the changes. made is available at:
http://ncdenr.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs-

20WQCS%20Template%2015.05.18%20(highlighted).pdf
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly installed system
extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a separately owned
sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations, force mains, low pressure
sewer systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping, valves and appurtenances that
help to collect, manage and transport wastewater to a wastewater treatment plant under the Permittee's
ownership or maintained and, operated by the Permittee through a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite
systems are systems tributaryto the Permittee's collection system but those collection systems are not owned
or maintained by the Permittee. The system description provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant to provide
a general idea about the size of the system and may not be all inclusive .of the collection system at the time of
permit issuance or afterward.

SOURCE CONTROL AND CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES
Depending on the nature of the spill or overflow, the initial assessment should indicate
the priority of source control and/or containment.
1. When the spill source can be isolated through valves, plugs or other methods, the flow
should be discontinued immediately or reduced to the least possible volume.
2. If the pumps at a wastewater pump station are not operating, check the control panel for
the following;
• Verify the power supply is on.
• Verify if the circuit breaker tripped.
• If the circuit breaker is closed, check the thermal overload.
• If the thermal overload is OK, check the fuses (if you are trained to do so).
• Determine if the pump straining.
• Detennine if the pump is clogged with debris.
• Determine if the pump motor smells like it is burning.
• Call an electrician for emergency service as required.
3. Containment methods will typically include:
• Sand or dirt dikes and dams. (Small streams, creeks)
• Holes or pits. (To prevent run off to surface waters)
4. If the spill event resulted from an area wide power outage you should contact the power
company and identify your site as critical. You must have account number for the pump,
station location.
5. If the problem is mechanical in nature, retrieve parts from inventory and make repairs.
Re -order parts as they are used.

Inspection Summary:
Owner -Facility: Town of Andrews
Inspection Type: Collection System Inspect Non Sampling Reason for Visit: Routine
The ORC was able to produce consistent and well organized records of all items requested during the inspection and
demonstrated a detailed knowledge of the system to the inspectors.
The existing system consists of gravity lines, manholes, four duplex pumping stations and the associated force mains.
Two of the pump stations are equipped with telemetry and three of the pump stations are equipped with permanently
installed emergency power generators.
During the inspection and follow-up at the town's wastewater treatment plant it became evident that the system experiences
considerable inflow and infiltration. This was observed by the inspectors at multiple points in the collection system and
confirmed during interviews with collections system maintenance staff. Inflow and infiltration (1/1) was evidenced by clear
water that enters the sewer system from a variety of sources.
1/1 is a problem because it takes up fixed capacity in regional sewer pipes (interceptors), capacity that will be needed for
future households in the region. 1/1 can also be costly to communities. Once clear water gets mixed in with wastewater,
communities are charged for the treatment of all the water.
Evidence that overflows had occurred in multiple parts of the system was also observed during the inspection. Inspectors
also observed an active sewer leak occurring on Cheoa Street. This leak was occurring on a private line serving number 57,
69, 89, and 97 Cheoa Street. In the last year, this system has also had issues with sewer backing up into homes
connected to the Town's collection lines.
The Town's wastewater plant typically flows at approximately half of its permitted capacity. During storm events, 1/1
frequently inundates the facility with storm water exceeding'the hydraulic. capacity of the plant -and leading. to inadequate
treatment of wastewater. The Town. of Andrew's wastewater facility is in' an extfeme state of disrepair and additional 1/1
produces further stress on the equipment and a diminished ability to effectively treat wastewater.
The Town should actively seek funding to conduct a flow study and to begin to rehab the sewer lines which are susceptible
to inflow and infiltration.

GENERAL CONCERNS / RECOMMENDATIONS / ACTION ITEMS — Please respond to
any items marked *
1) A Preconstruction meeting was held Wednesday June 5, 2013 at Town Hall. IFS was unable to
attend but did provide outline notes on items usually discussed at Preconstruction meeting. IFS
requested and received Engineer's Preconstruction meeting notes and attendance list.
2) For the record, Notice to Proceed was issued to Terry Bros. Constr. Inc. on June 12, 2013 for a
construction period of 90 consecutive calendar days resulting in a completion date of September
10, 2013. -
3) At July meeting Owner and Engineer indicated they wished to add to the scope of work.
Correspondence has taken place with Seth Robertson in the Design Management Unit of IFS
and the work to reroute sewer at Tarrent St. appears to be eligible. Negotiations for this work is
in progress. The extra work is in the vicinity of $44k with — $39k remaining (under -run) in the
budget.
4) Because IFS did not attend the Pre -Construction meeting, information is included in this report
that would not normally be presented in an interim inspection report.
5) On this date, the project is nearing completion lacking only paving, man hole rehabilitation and
the added work noted above. For the record the MH rehab work will be performed by Allis
Concrete.
6) Engineer should be prepared to discuss testing status and requirements at next meeting,
specifically, Specification Section 02770 Article 3.04C regarding sewer line testing.
7) * Please advise IFS via email or telephone if there will be an August 15 Progress meeting or if a
Final inspection needs to be scheduled. A project closeout checklist is attached to this report.

OVERVIEW
This project consists of the replacement and upgrade of existing sewerline that has deteriorated and
is a significant source of inflow and infiltration. Although most of the project involves replacing
existing vitrified clay pipe (VCP) with ductile iron pipe (DIP) of equal diameter, portions of the
project will upgrade the existing VCP sewer with DIP sewer of greater diameter to accommodate
future growth and improve operations. It should be noted that no additional flow will be added to
the collection system as a result of the proposed improvements.
The upgraded sewerlines are as follows:
Recreation Park Pump Station:
This pump station currently utilizes a 4" force main to convey flow to the Conaheeta Drive main
gravity sewer interceptor manhole at the intersection of Conaheeta Drive and Wilson Street. The
existing force main will be upgraded with approxunately 370 linear feet (LF) of 6" DIP force main.
Hill Street / Highland Place area:
This area currently utilizes 6" VCP gravity sewer to convey flows to the maul interceptor. This
project will replace the existing 6" VCP with approximately 760 LF of 8" DIP per State minimum
design criteria. The new 8" sewerline will be constructed with a minimum slope of 0.40%.
Conaheeta Drive:
The Conaheeta Drive sewer interceptor conveys all flows from the sewershed to the Conaheeta
Drive Pump Station. The existing 10" VCP sewerline will be replaced with approximately 1,380 LF
of 18" DIP to accommodate estimated ultimate tributary flows.
II. DESIGN
Recreation Park Pump Station
The proposed 6" DIP force main will increase the pump station capacity from approximately 375
gpm to approximately 560 gpm. The pump station capacity calculations, to include existing pump
curve, system characteristics, system curve calculations, and system curve vs. pump curve graph
may be found at the end of this section.
Downstream Sewer Evaluation
The Recreation Parlc Pump Station will discharge into the proposed 18" gravity sewer that conveys
flows to the Conaheeta Drive Pump Station. The wastewater collection system and pump stations
are owned and operated by the Town of Murphy.
Although this project will not add new flow to the system, the downstream sewer will be evaluated
to account for the increased Recreation Park Pump Station capacity.
-termine PeakingFacto
actor
Per NCDENR minimum design criteria, the peaking factor is calculated as follows:
PF=18+�P
4+�
Where:
PF = Peaking Factor
P = Service Population (thousands)
Per the North Carolina Office of State Budget and Management, for the Murphy municipality the
estimated number of persons per household is 2.1255. The service area population can be
calculated as:
P = 795 homes x 2.1255 persons/home =1,690 persons
Therefore:
PF_18+ 1. 99 =3.6
4+ 1.69
Determine Peak Flow
Existing Flow (as recorded at Conaheeta Drive PS) = 310,000 gpd
Existing Peak Flow = 3 10, 000 gpd x 3.6 = 1,116,000 gpd
Flow due to increased Recreation Park PS capacity = 185 gpm x 1440 = 266,400 gpd
Proposed Total Estimated Peak Flow = 1,116,000 gpd + 266,400 gpd = 1,382,400 gpd
Determine Capacity of Downstream Gravity Sewer
Use Manning's Equation to determine the full pipe capacity:
1.49 Ro.67 So.s
Q=
n
Where:
n = 0.013
S = 0.0012 (nununuim allowable slope)
Q _ 1.49 (7c . (1.5 ft)2) . (1.5 ft 4 )0.67 . (0.0012)0.5 = 3.64 cfs = 2.352,587 gpd
0.013 4
The Proposed Total Estimated Peak Flow (1,382,400 gpd) represents approximately 59% of the
total pipe capacity; therefore, the proposed project flows will not overburden the downstream
gravity sewer.
germine Capacity of Downstream PumU Station
The downstream Conaheeta Drive Pump Station has a rated capacity of 1425 gpm (2,052,000 gpd).
Since the proposed total estimated peak flow (1,382,400 gpd) is less than the rated capacity of the
Conaheeta Drive Pump Station (2,052,000 gpd), it can be seen that the additional flow from the
proposed project will not overburden the Conaheeta Drive Pump Station.
Conaheeta Drive Sewer Interceptor
According to North Carolina's gravity sewer minirnum design criteria, sewer capacities
shall be designed for the estimated ultimate tributary population including consideration given to
the maximum anticipated capacity of institutions, industrial parks, etc... The non -severed
sewershed area that has the potential to become tributary to the main sewer interceptor along
Connahetta Drive includes approximately 17,330 acres along the US Highway 74/19/129
corridor (see Attachment 5 at the end of this section). 15,500 acres, or about 90%, of the
potential tributary area was selected as a conservative figure for purposes of estimating future
flows.
Since the construction of US Highway 74/19/129, the corridor has experienced a higher
rate of commercial and residential growth compared to other areas within the Town. Assuming a
cormercial corridor offset 100-feet from the highway, the total area for potential commercial
use is approximately 200 acres. Per North Carolina standards set forth in 15NCAC2T, design
daily flow rates for proposed non-residential developments where the types of use and
occupancy are not known shall be designed for a minimum of 880 gallons per acre per day,
resulting in a total estimated future tributary commercial flow of 176,000 gpd. The remaining
15,300 acres is assumed to be used for residential purposes; assuming an ultimate residential
build -out of one (1) house per ten (10) acres and an average daily use of 300 gpd per Home, the
total estimated future tributary residential flow is 459,000 gpd. The total estimated future
tributary flow to the Connahetta sewer main interceptor is 635,000 gpd.
Historic pump run time records for the Connahetta Drive pump station indicate a dry
weather average daily flow of approximately 310,000 gpd. Therefore, the total estimated
future flow tributary to the Connahetta Drive sewer main interceptor is 945,000 gpd. The
capacity of a 16-inch gravity sewer line at minimum required slope flowing half -full is 927,773
gpd. Therefore, it is recommended that the existing 10-inch gravity sewer along Connahetta
Drive be upgraded to an 18-inch gravity sewer line to accommodate future tributary flows.
The 18-inch gravity sewer also has a low minimum slope requirement. The shallower slope
will allow the proposed sewer line to be constructed out of the 100-year flood -plain.

Dear Mr. Green:
Thank your for sending me a copy of the Town of Andrews sewage collection system
map prepared by Cherokee County. The County dida fine job of taking the NCONEMAP data
and producing a good starter collection system map. I have discussed with Trevor Lovin,
Cherokee County GIS Coordinator, where we go from here. Trevor indicates a willingness to
help the Town further. If you will, ask Red and Sammy to locate all manholes and missing sewers
on one of your paper copies, then the County could incorporate that new information into the
map. I encourage you to keep this project moving along.
Sincerely,

Wastewater Collection System
Cherokee County
Dear Mr. Green:
Attached is the report resulting from the Town of Andrews' Collection System Permit
Compliance Evaluation Inspection that I conducted on December 16, 2008. The Town of
Andrews is making good progress in terms of compliance with the requirements of its Collection
System Permit.
The Town badly needsa comprehensive collection system map. A Town is in a
precarious position when that the Town's collections system map resides in the head of key
employees. You have got to get this information into computer or onto paper. I encourage you to
look into the possibility of a grant to allow the Town to contract with a consulting engineer to
prepare a GIS collection system map.
I encourage Dillard to continue collection of information which hopefully can some day
be made a part of a GIS collection system map. Just as a reminder, the Town's Collection
System Permit requires a map showing pipe size, pipe material, pipe location, flow direction, pipe
age, service taps, and sewage pumping station names and capacities. If it is still the plan to turn
information over to Cherokee County to layer the Town's collection system of the County's 911
map, you need to find some way to speed the collection of the necessary information.
For an interim collection system map I have asked Deborah Weatherly, IS
Administrator with Cherokee County, if she can make use of the NCONEMAP dav� produce a
collection system map for the Town of Andrews. Debbie just called to tell me that the map is
ready. Would you please arrange to have them picked up and send me a copy. The
NCONEMAP data was gathered in 1997. Even so it may give you a good starter map of the
Town's collection system.

Attached I am returning the Town's collection system Capital Improvements Plan with a
new page which allow the CIP to meet permit requirements. The next time I visit Andrews I will
bring an additional page for the Town's Spill Response Plan.
I encourage you to consider the purchase of a trailer mounted Closed Circuit
Television CCTV Camera to be used in sewer maintenance. Most towns find that a CCTV soon
pays for itself by preventing the unnecessary digging up of sewers. A person doing sewer
maintenance is working blind without a television camera to insert in a problem sewer.
I appreciate your time yesterday. Pleas do not hesitate to call me at 828-296-4500
should you need to discuss this inspection report
Sincerely,
Roy Da is

Inspection Summary:
Town needs to put in place program to educate its customers on the proper disposal of residential grease
Town needs to adopt a collection system Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) which spans a three to five year period of time,
includes a Goals Statement, described the collection system service area, described the existing system, discusses
known deficiencies, and discusses forecasted future needs.
At time of the next inspection the Town should have a revenue statement present.
Town should maintain written records documenting twice yearly inspection of its one aerial crossing.
Even though the Town has to mow only 500-600 feet of sewer right-of-way, written records of this activity should be
maintained.
The Town should add to its Spill Response Action Plan phone numbers of contractors and septic,tank pumping
companies who might be called in event of a collection system emergency.
encourage the Town to move in the direction of GIS mapping for its collection system.

Alan W. Klimek, Y.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
The unit of government for whom you work has a collection system permit issued by the Division of Water Quality.
it is our plan to conduct an annual Compliance Evaluation inspection of your program for operating, maintaining
and improving your collection system. The inspection will consist of a review of ordinances, logs, budgets and
inspections of sewers, equipment, pump stations and right-of-ways. The purpose of this letter is to tell you the
type documents:we would like for you to have present for the inspection and the order we would like to see them.
1. Grease reduction Public Education Program (established and documented)
2. Sewer Use Ordinance and Legal Authority for Ordinance
3. Grease trap ordinance
4. Septic tank ordinance
a. enforcement actions within the past 12 months
5. Capital Improvement Plan
6. Maintenance records for sewer lines
7. Records recording citizen complaints
8. Record of sewer system overflows (SSO's)
a. sewer system overflow press releases and distribution list
9. Records documenting annual inspection of entire system
10. Records documenting semiannual inspection of high priority lines
11. Maintenance logs of major equipment used to clean and maintain sewer system including
startup records of stand-by power units.
12. Pump station inspection, operation and maintenance logs
13. Right-of-way maintenance records
14. System cleaning records
15. Spill response action plan
16. Spare part inventory
17. System map
18. Sewer system budget including revenue
19. Most recent Collection System Annual Report
20. Your Collection System Permit.
It is obvious that the purpose of the above, rather lengthy, list is to help you document what you are doing in the
way of sewer system operations and maintenance. These same records allow us to determine compliance with
permit requirements. We want to see a little fancy footwork when we conduct an inspection. If you use loose
paper records we would like to see files organized, titled, complete, present and stacked neatly. If you use
loose-leaf notebooks, dividers should be used between sections. We are more than pleased to sit in front of a
computer screen during the inspection if you use computer -based records. Behind a system of well organized
records we obviously want a solid program of sewer operations, maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement
leading to the reduction, as far as possible, in the occurrence of sewer system overflows and the amount of
infiltration and inflow arriving at wastewater treatment plants.

TOWN of ANDREWS
COLLECTION SYSTEM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN
It is the goal of the Town of Andrew to collect the Town's wastewater, reducing to
the extent possible the number of Sanitary Sewer Overflows and sewer
blockages experienced, at a cost affordable to its residents. In order to reduce
the cost of transporting and treating the Town's wastewater the Town will, at
every opportunity, eliminate sources of Infiltration/Inflow.
The collection system serves the Town of Andrews and a portion of Cherokee
County, primarily to the west of Town where industrial development has
occurred.
The existing system consists of gravity line, man holes, four duplex pumping
stations and the associated force mains. Two of the pump stations are equipped
with telemetry and three of the pump stations are equipped with permanently
installed emergency power generators.
Collection system deficiencies relate primarily to the pump stations. The Huddle
House -BP Station pump station in particular is in desperate need of rebuilding.
Approximately sixty percent of the Town's gravity lines are terracotta. Over time
joint material will can be expected to loosen allowing groundwater entry and root
penetration. Replacement of terracotta lines will be a long term project.
Sanitary Sewer overflows occurring after hours and on weekends shall be
reported to the State Emergency Operations Center at (800)858-0368.
Equipment and material available to the Town to use in responding to a Sanitary
Seer Overflow include, trucks, backhoe, trailer mounted jetter, lime
When the Sanitary Sewer Overflow is over Town personnel will clean the line
having experienced the overflow using a jetter. The line will be inspected using a
closed circuit television camera. Information derived from use of the television
camera will help to determine whether any further action is needed to reduce the
possibility of an overflow from the same line segment

SOURCE CONTROL AND CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES
Depending on the nature of the spill or overflow, the initial assessment should indicate
the priority of source control and/or containment.
1. When the spill source can be isolated through valves, plugs or other methods, the flow
should be discontinued immediately or reduced to the least possible volume.
2. If the pumps at a wastewater pump station are not operating, check the control panel for
the following;
• Verify the power supply is on.
• Verify if the circuit breaker tripped.
• If the circuit breaker is closed, check the thennal overload.
• If the thennal overload is OK, check the fuses (if you are trained to do so).

• Sand or dirt dikes and dams. (Small streams, creeks)
• Holes or pits. (To prevent run off to surface waters)
4. If the spill event resulted from an area wide power outage you should contact the power
company and identify your site as critical. You must have account number for the pump
station location.
5. If the problem is mechanical in nature, retrieve parts from inventory and make repairs.
Re -order parts as they are used.

Dear Mr. Green:
As we have continued our evaluations of sewage collection systems management, it was
recognized that there are a group of contributors that may not be informed of their individual
responsibilities. In March 2000, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission
enacted rules related to sewage collection systems. These rules are now found in the North
Carolina Administrative Code 15 NCAC 2T .0403 for deemed permitted facilities. They include
facilities with a privately -owned collection system that serve condominiums, apartments, mobile
home parks, subdivisions, shopping centers, colleges, etc. that are tributary to larger municipally
owned systems, yet are not owned or managed by the municipality.
If you are aware of any such privately -owned collection systems, we would also like to be
informed of their existence. In addition, we would like to know where any privately -owned pump
stations are located that are connected to your collection system. The type of information we
are requesting is the facility name, location and contact person. If that system is in a state of
disrepair or if you have received complaints about it previously, please note that as well.
Your attention to this request is most appreciated. We have been notified of problems at
some of these facilities in the past and have had a difficult time locating the responsible party to
affect a repair to the problem.
A response from you within 30 days would be very helpful as we try to ensure that all
owners of collection systems are meeting the regulatory requirements of reporting spills and
providing the proper operation and maintenance of their systems. Hopefully, this will also be
beneficial to the operation of your municipal collection system. Northcarolina

Wastewater Collection System
Cherokee County
Dear Mr. Brown:
Attached is the report resulting from the Town of Andrews' Collection System Permit Compliance
Evaluation Inspection which I conducted on September 12, 2007. The Town of Andrews is
making progress in terms of compliance with the requirements of its Collection System Permit. I
encourage Dillard to continue collection of information which hopefully can some day be made a
pert of a GIS collection system map. Following are Collection System Permit requirements
needing the Town's attention:
(1) The Town does not conduct a Public Education Program relating to the proper disposal of
residential grease. I gave Sammy Hollaway information that might be made into a brochure to be
given out at Town Hall when people come in to pay their water/sewer bill.
(2) The Town does not have a collection system Capital Improvements Plan (CIP). The plan
should span three to five years, include a Goals statement, description of service area,
description of the existing facilities, include known deficiencies, and forecast of future needs. I
gave Sammy a copy of the Town of Murphy's CIP which with modification would serve the Town
of Andrews.
(3) At time of the next inspection the Town should have a revenue statement present which
shows revenues resulting from sale of wastewater collection and treatment services.
(4) The Town should keep written record of its twice -yearly inspection of its one aerial crossing.

(5) The Town is not maintaining•records.ofsewer right-of-way maintenance.
( 6) The Town does not have a comprehensive collection system map meeting permit .
requirements. The Town's Collection System Permit requires a map showing pipe size, pipe
material, pipe location, flow direction, pipe age, service taps, and sewage pumping station names
and capacities. Dillard is collecting information that will be useful when the Town gets involved in
GIS mapping. Again, I encourage him to continue that effort.

Inspection Summary:
Town needs to put in place program to educate its customers on the proper disposal of residential grease
Town needs to adopt a collection system Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) which spans a three to five year period of time,
includes a Goals Statement, described the collection system service area, described the existing system, discusses
known deficiencies, and discusses forecasted future needs.
At time of the next inspection the Town should have a revenue statement present.
Town.should maintain written records documenting twice yearly inspection of its one aerial crossing.
Even though the Town has to mow only 500-600 feet of sewer right-of-way, written records of this activity should be
maintained. i
The Town should add to its Spill Response Action Plan phone numbers of contractors and septic tank pumping
companies who might be called in event of a collection system emergency.
I encourage the Town to move in the direction of GIS mapping for its collection system.

—x. — — I.—; ation Statement:
I �L �t J certify to the best of my knowledge that the addition of
the volume o 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.

FTSE PLANNING ASSESSMENT ADDENDUM (PAA)
Submit a planning assessment addendum for each pump station listed in Section II where Available
Capacity is < 0.
Pump Station (Name or Number): 4
Given that:
a. The proportion and amount of Obligated, Not Yet Tributary Daily Flow (C) accounts for
% and MGD of the Available Capacity (E) in Pump Station
; and that
b. The rate of activation of this obligated, not yet tributary capacity is currently approximately
MGD per year; and that
c. A funded Capital Project that will provide the required planned capacity, namely
is in design or under construction with
planned completion in ; and/or
d. The following applies:
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.

Re: Town of Andrews
Tarrent Street Sewer Line
Fast -Track Permit Application
Cherokee County,. North Carolina
Dear Mr. Cranford:
The Town of Andrews is proposing a minor reroute of an existing sewer line to divert
existing flow to a nearby newer and larger sewer line to alleviate some flow issues to a. sewer
line downstream. The proposed project -simply reroutes existing flow and does not add any
additional flow to the sewer system.
Please find enclosed the following:
• Executed Fast Track application form
• Check in the amount of $480 for the application fee
• Flow Tracking/Acceptance form FTSE 10/07
• An 8.5 by 11-inch portion of a USGS map showing the project area
• Stream classification form WACAS-12/07 with documentation
The project consists of installation of approximately 321- lineal feet of 8-inch gravity
sewer line, 2 new manholes and. replacement of one existing -manhole. If you have any
questions on the application submittal or the project, please.contact Mike Waresak or myself at
any time.

received the civil penalty assessment on November 14, 2016.
In that letter, you were notified that you had three options available to you within thirty (30) days
according to North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A. You could pay the penalty, you could
request remission of the penalty, or you could file a contested case petition with the Office of
Administrative Hearings. As of January 27, 2017, our records do not show that you have done
any of those three things.
If our records are in error, please contact me immediately by phone or email. If you have not paid
the penalty, filed for remission or filed a contested case petition, the penalty is due and payable.
Please make the check payable to Department of Environmental Quality and mail it within ten (10)
calendar days to:
