Page 6 of 9

c. Changes to the project that do not result in non-compliance with this permit, regulations, or the
Minimum Design Criteria should be clearly identified on the record drawings, on the certification
in the space provided, or in written summary form.

number/type of connections); regulations, or. the Minimum Design Criteria. Requested
modifications or variances to the Minimum Design Criteria will be reviewed on a case -by -case basis
and each on its own merit. Please note that variances to the Minimum Design Criteria should be
requested and approved during the permitting process prior to construction. After -construction
requests are discouraged by the Division and may not be approved, thus requiring replacement or
repair prior to certification & activation. [15A NCAC 02T .0116]
8. Gravity sewers installed greater than ten percent below the minimum required slope per the
Division's Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria shall not be acceptable and shall not be certified
until corrected. If there is an unforeseen obstacle in the field where all viable solutions have been
examined, a slope variance can be requested from the Division with firm supporting documentation.
This shall be done through a permit modification with fee. Such variance requests will be evaluated
on a case -by -case basis. Resolution of such request shall be evident prior to completing and
submitting the construction certification. [ 15A NCAC 02T.0105(n)]

Division's Gravity Sewer Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996 as applicable; the Division's
Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Station and Force Mains adopted
June 1, 2000 as applicable; and other supporting materials may subject the Permittee to an
enforcement action by the Division, in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes §143-215.6A
through §143-215.6C, construction of additional .or replacement wastewater collection facilities,
and/or referral of the North Carolina -licensed Professional Engineer to the licensing board. [15A
NCAC 02T .0104; 15A NCAC 02T .0108(b-c)]
11. In the event that the wastewater collection facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including
those as may be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement
facilities. [15A NCAC 02T .0110; 15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)]
12. The issuance of this permit shall not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes,

➢ Projects involving an Environmental Assessment per 15A NCAC 01 C .0408, must be submitted for a
full technical review and must be submitted to the PERCS Unit on application forms provided by the
Division.
J. Alternative Sewer Systems
➢ Projects involving low pressure sewer systems, vacuum sewer systems and other alternative sewer
systems must be submitted for a full technical review and must be submitted to the PERCS Unit on
application forms provided by the Division.
K. Flow Direction
➢ Many wastewater treatment systems are entering into agreements for regionalization efforts and
emergency treatment capacity. Parts of the system are installed so that the wastewater flow can be
directed to more than one treatment facility. If this is the case with the project, please indicate in B(12)
and give the permit number of the second facility.
L. Certifications — Section C
➢ The application must be certified by both the applicant and the design engineer who is a North Carolina
Registered Professional Engineer (PE). The applicant signature must match the signing official listed in
Item A(1 b). The PE should NOT certify the application if he/she is unfamiliar with 15A NCAC Chapter
2T, The Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria (most recent version) and the Minimum Design Criteria
for the Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains (most recent version), as applicable to the project.

Franklin
Indigo Apartments Project Narrative:
A new sewer main is being installed for the construction of new single family apartment units. The new
apartments are a mix of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom units. The system is going to serve 60 units and could be used
to serve additional units in the future. The line being proposed is an 8" PVC main line connected'to an
e isting outfall line located along Cartoogechaye Creek, which is owned and maintained by the Town of
Franklin.

* The Firm Capacity of any pump station is defined as the maximum pumped flow that
can be achieved with the largest pump taken out of service.
** Design Average Daily Flow is the firm capacity of the pump station divided by a peaking
factor (pf) not less than 2.5.
*** A Planning Assessment Addendum shall be attached for each pump station located
between the project connection point and the WWTP where the Available Capacity is < 0.

III. Certification Statement:
I Summer Woodard 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 H plus all
attached planning assessment addendums for which I am the responsible party. Signature of this
form indicates acceptance of this wastewater�ow.
