Wastewater industrial omesti ' nature? ♦ Most projects will astewater that is domestic in nature, however, if Item B.6 indicates that the wastewater is industrial in nature, notify the Regional Office Pretreatment Coordinator or the WQ Pretreatment Unit Central Office to determine if a pretreatment permit is needed or if a program already in place and compliant. low volume calculated correctly? 2H .0299(1) ♦ Ensure that the daily design flow in the application is based on the guidance provided in the regulations or existing flow, and that the explanation as to how this volume was determined is very specific (i.e., 22 three -bedroom homes, 50,000 s.f. of retail space, 18 employees, etc). This information will be included in the description of the system in the permit. Our regs say 120 gpd/bedroom for residential. Note that for one -bedroom the minimum they can use is 240 gpd. ♦ If daily design flow is not based on regulations, ensure that the applicant has an approved flow reduction of daily design flow rate on file with the Division. A list of approved flow reductions may be obtained from the DWQ Intranet or by contacting the PERCS. Flow reduction requests are to be reviewed by the central office, and must be reviewed and approved before the application is accepted by the regional office for review. ♦ On occasion, there may be an instance where supporting documentation is submitted with the application for a specific facility. Contact PERCS to determine a course of action. ♦ Ensure that the flows shown on the application match up to what is shown on the plans (if available for review). For example, if the application states that 100 lots are to be developed, ensure that there are 100 lots, and not 150 lots, shown on the plans. Plans are only required for review if the applicant is requesting a variance to the MDC or the .0200's. ♦ Do not allocate "future" wastewater flows (i.e., that based on speculative development). These would be permitted in future wastewater collection system extensions. Although, we do allocate "unknown" flows on a per acre basis for industrial/commercial park applications. Generally, the Division has accepted between 900 gpd/acre -1500 gpd/acre. Let the engineer support his calculation. Adequate information provided regarding the proposed gravity sewer and/or force main (if applicable)?

Drafting a Permit ♦ In order to be consistent, use the most current version of the Fast -Track permit shell. This permit shell contains specific language with respect to the Minimum Design Criteria, regulations, and collection system permitting. The PERCS will notify you of any changes to this permit shell. ♦ Be specific with respect the system description and information. Indicate the flow, what the project will be serving, length and size of gravity sewer lines and force mains, etc. For projects involving pump stations, the size of the pump stations, as well as the reliability option and any additional info (telemetry, odor control system, etc) should be included. A sample permit is on the DWQ Intranet. ♦ Add or remove any special conditions as necessary. Please call attention to any non-standard permit conditions in the cover letter of the permit and include the permit condition where necessary. See the Example Special Conditions document. ♦ If the project is a modification, don't forget to include the system description from the previous permit and void the previous permit in the language! Some of these can be tricky so feel free to run the drafted permit through PERCS first before issuance. ♦ It is preferable if Fast -Tracks are saved electronically by permit number under issued year and month. 4, FAST TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003.

If they do not, request a revised application that has been completed by an appropriate official or a letter from an appropriate official that indicates the person in question is delegated to sign the application on the applicant's behalf. A current list of Delegated Signing Officials can be obtained from the PERCS. If a new delegated signing official letter is presented with the application, forward a copy to the central office so that the person may be added to the Delegated Signing Official list. The central office will send E-mails to the appropriate region if a new signing official has been added so that the most current list can be used. The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has an example delegated signing official letter from http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/PERCS/spraypol.html#DELEG. SECT B — Permit Information Project is new? Modification? If the project is a modification to an existing permit, be sure to enter the application into BIMS as a permit modification (i.e. "renew/modify application" and not "create new project"). BIMS will pull the previous signing official and affiliations information. Please go through all the tabs and ensure the information is correct for the current project. Applicant a public entity (e.g. county, town, sanitary district)? JA Applicant a private entity? Own (i.e. lease) units, lots, parcels, etc? 1 FAST -TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003 (Rev 2/06) Sell units, lots, parcels, etc? Certificate of Public Conve fence and Necessity? 2H .0205(d)(2) ♦ Required if the applicant \s a public utility. In lieu of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Neces ty, they may submit written approval from the North Carolina Utilities Co mission's Public Staff that states that the utility is allowed to provide utility se ice in the subject project area. Note that the project name on the applica .on and on the CPCN must match. Contact the NCUC Public Staff if questio arise. This is NOT REQUIRED for a municipality or county! Exam es of companies that would provide a CPCN are Heater Utilities or Carolina ater Service, etc. ******OR******* Operational Agreement? 2H .0205(d) ♦ Operational Agreements are only re wired if the applicant is not a public entity (i.e. Town, County, etc.) or pub �c utility as designated by the North Carolina Utilities Commission AND th lots being served by the collection system are to be sold to individual own rs. ♦ If the applicant is a developer, they Aust fill out the DEVELOPER Operational Agreement (FORM: DEV 2/03). A developer may be responsible for the system for an interi period until the homeowners association is.formed, at which time. Permit Name/Ownership Change request (FORM: PNOCF 06/00) w)lbe needed to transfer the permit to the HOA. If the applicant is a homeown rs' association (HOA), they must fill out the ASSOCIATION Operati al Agreement (FORM: HOA 02/03 The HOA must be registered w' h the Secretary of State's office and must provide a copy of the As ciations' Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation. These documents show be reviewed to ensure that all applicable language regarding th collection system is included as is required by the Operational Agr ment. The Operational Agr ment should be attached to the permit and incorporated into th language of the permit. Please note that Operational Agreement lan?te.nc.us/PERCS/ e should not be altered without approval from the Attorney GeneOffice. Operational Agreements are available at htt://h2o.enr.s from the collection system applications page. ��'Approval of flow to receiving sewers and WWTF? (i.e. P4 procedure, but now in-house!) ♦ Ensure that the receiving sewers and WWTF have adequate capacity available to accept the flow volume that is being requested, and that the WWTF has been in compliance with their treatment and disposal permit. y Flow acceptance letter(s) from the owner of the WWTF and owner of any intermediate sewers (if different from WWTF owner and applicant)? 2H .0205(d)(3)(C) ♦ Required only if the applicant and the owner of the WWTF/intermediate sewers are not the same entity. ♦ Project specific flow acceptance letters are required. ♦ Ensure that the following items appear in the flow acceptance letter: applicant's name, project name, amount of wastewater flow accepted, date that the flow acceptance was granted, expiration date of the acceptance, and name/permit number of the receiving WWTF. Do not accept a flow acceptance letter that was issued more than one year prior to the receipt of the package. ♦ Ensure that the owner accepted the entire volume of flow listed in application. 2 FAST -TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003 (Rev 2/06) Main Problems Noted: A flow acceptance letter is provided by the receiving WWTP owner but not the downstream sewer owner, which both are different from the applicant. Example, private Pr developer in Knightdale. Both Knightdale and Raleigh would need to provide a flow acceptance letter as Knightdale will transport the wastewater and Raleigh will treat the wastewater. V�Wastewater industri or do�fiature? ♦ Most projects wi r that is domestic in nature, however, if Item B.6 indicates that the wastewater is industrial in nature, notify the Regional Office Pretreatment Coordinator or the WQ Pretreatment Unit Central Office to determine if a pretreatment permit is needed or if a program already in place and compliant. �iF'low volume calculated correctly? 2H .0219(l) ♦ Ensure that the daily design flow in the application is based on the guidance provided in the regulations or existing flow, and that the explanation as to how this volume was determined is very specific (i.e., 22 three -bedroom homes, 50,000 s.f. of retail space, 18 employees, etc). This information will be included in the description of the system in the permit. Our regs say 120 gpd/bedroom for residential. Note that for one -bedroom the minimum they can use is 240 gpd. ♦ If daily design flow is not based on regulations, ensure that the applicant has an approved flow reduction of daily design flow rate on file with the Division. A list of approved flow reductions may be obtained from the DWQ Intranet or by contacting the PERCS. Flow reduction requests are to be reviewed by the central office, and must be reviewed and approved before the application is accepted by the regional office for review. ♦ On occasion, there may be an instance where supporting documentation is submitted with the application for a specific facility. Contact PERCS to determine a course of action. ♦ Ensure that the flows shown on the application match up to what is shown on the plans (if available for review). For example, if the application states that 100 lots are to be developed, ensure that there are 100 lots, and not 150 lots, shown on the plans. Plans are only required for review if the applicant is requesting a variance to the MDC or the .0200's. ♦ Do not allocate "future" wastewater flows (i.e., that based on speculative development). These would be permitted in future wastewater collection system extensions. Although, we do allocate "unknown" flows on a per acre basis for industrial/commercial park applications. Generally, the Division has accepted between 900 gpd/acre —1500 gpd/acre. Let the ngineer support his calculation. Adequate information provided regarding the proposed gravity sewer and/or force main (if applicable)? Note 1: An Environmental Assessment may be required if there are 3 miles of gravity sewer over 18-inches in diameter (15A NCAC 1C .0100). Environmental Assessment projects can NOT go Fast -Track! Main Problems Noted: A public entity specifies 6-inch line when 8-inch is required; 4-inch line is O specified and no variance requested Adequate information provided regarding the proposed pump station(s) (if applicable)? Note: An Environmental Assessment may be required if the pump station(s) have a firm capacity of 1,750 GPM or greater (15A NCAC 1 C .0100). If there are any questions about whether an EA may be required, discuss with your supervisor or contact Alex Marks of the Planning Branch's Local Government Assistance Unit. ♦ Power reliability at the pump station provided in accordance with Section 5.04 of the Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains document (i.e. dual line feed, portable generator w/telemetry, permanent generator with automatic transfer switch, wet well storage if near Class C waters)? Note 1: Section C of the FTA has to be completed and show a Class C down slope water in order to use wet well storage as a reliability option. Include the special condition in the permit.

Drafting a Permit ♦ In order to be consistent, use the most current version of the Fast -Track permit shell. This permit shell contains specific language with respect to the Minimum Design Criteria, regulations, and collection system permitting. The PERCS will notify you of any changes to this permit shell. ♦ Be specific with respect the system description and information. Indicate the flow, what the project will be serving, length and size of gravity sewer lines and force mains, etc. For projects involving pump stations, the size of the pump stations, as well as the reliability option and any additional info (telemetry, odor control system, etc) should be included. A sample permit is on the DWQ Intranet. ♦ Add or remove any special conditions as necessary. Please call attention to any non-standard permit conditions in the cover letter of the permit and include the permit condition where necessary. See the Example Special Conditions document. ♦ If the project is a modification, don't forget to include the system description from the previous permit and void the previous permit in the language! Some of these can be tricky so feel free to run the drafted permit through PERCS first before issuance. ♦ It is preferable if Fast -Tracks are saved electronically by permit number under issued year and month. 4 FAST -TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003 (Rev 2/06) Denying a Project ♦ If the Reviewer/Supervisor determines that an application package should be denied because it can not meet NC Statutes, rules or regulations, then a denial letter should be drafted. Special attention should be paid to the statutory deadline for permitting. If it is thought that a project might be denied, it is important to review it and draft the denial letter as soon as possible. There must be time allowed for the denial letter to be sent up to the Director and signed prior to the statutory date. ♦ The Reviewer should use the Application Denial Letter template to prepare a denial package for the Supervisor's review and submittal to the Director for signature. The letter should not be dated, but instead will be dated after the Director signs it. A memo to the Director should be attached to the top of the denial package summarizing the reasons for denial. This package must be singed off on by the reviewer, supervisor, Section Chief, and Director. Distribute the letter as directed in "Issuing a Permit" below. Issuing a Permit ♦ Permits should be signed only by those delegated to sign for the Director. ♦ Permits should be distributed as follows (include the signed Operational Agreement with the permit and all distribution copies if applicable!): ✓ Original to the Permittee ✓ Copy to the consulting engineer ✓ Copy to the county health department ✓ Copy to the Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Protection for all projects located in Mecklenburg County ✓ Copy(ies) to the owner of the WWTF and owner of the downstream sewers (if different than the Permittee) ✓ Electronic Copy and Hard Copy to the PERCS for our files ✓ Copy to Central Files (attach application package and any supporting documents with a staple — do not include any plans unless they are small and can be folded up into an 8.5" x 11" sheet) ✓ Save an electronic version named W000XXXXX.doc in a folder on your office shared drive or hard drive. Try to keep your drafts and issued files separate. SEND ELECTRONIC COPIES TO PERCS on a frequent basis — weekly or monthly! Permit Corrections ♦ If a permit has been issued but an error discovered MADE BY US internally or by the Permittee or their engineer, a permit correction is necessary. ♦ Pull the original permit and make the corrections — do not change issue dates or enter a new application in BIMS — resave the permit ♦ Prepare the permit correction cover letter modifying as applicable — the corrections need to be distributed to the same people/agencies who received the orginal permit ♦ Print the corrected permit and permit correction letter — sign if needed ♦ Maintain Permit in BIMS — add permit corrected event date and comments as to what was corrected ♦ Copy and distribute The Certification ♦ Final engineering certifications will be submitted back to your office when the project is complete. These should be date stamped (the certification page, record drawings and calculations, if applicable) ♦ Construction, Grants & Loans (CGL) may request and audit some of these certifications ♦ Regardless of whether the region or CGL reviews a certification, the receipt date must be logged into BIMS. Perform the following: Maintain Permit, Enter Permit No., Go to Events Tab, Add Event, Select Engineering/Tech Specialist Certification Received, Enter Receipt Date ♦ If the certification sheet is marked partial — put partial in the event comment field. ♦ If the certification seems incomplete — missing plans or calculations or no PE seal — note incomplete in the comment field. Send an incomplete certification letter. The certification page in the permit explains exactly what the engineer is to provide. ♦ If the certification is provided to CGL — maintain the engineer certification received event and put "to CGL for review on DATE" in the event engineer certification received comment field. 5 FAST -TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003 (Rev 2/06) ♦ If the region wishes to perform a detailed review — look for items not meeting the minimum design criteria or outside of the permit. For instance, minimum cover; slope; minimum separation distances; line size changes; length; reroutes; additional lots than permitted; pump station alarms; pump cycle times; no indication of record drawing (as-builts) on plans; no PE seal or note about record drawings (land surveyor seals are not appropriate). A certification checklist is being developed. ♦ Regardless of review, certifications need to be processed as this closes out the permit. Follow the processing engineering certifications guidance document. 6 FAST -TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003 (Rev 2/06) TfT THE WOOTEN COMPANY ENGINEERING P L A N N I N G ARCHITECTURE 1226 19th Street Lane NW Hickory NC 28601 828.322.5533 fax 828.322.5242 JULFD,E C E � V El 3 1 �D 2006 WATER QUALITY SECTION ASHEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE July 28, 2006 Asheville Regional Office N.C.

Indicate the flow, what the project will be serving, length and size of gravity sewer lines and force mains, etc. For projects involving pump stations, the size of the pump stations, as well as the reliability option and any additional info (telemetry, odor control system, etc) should be included. A sample permit is on the DWQ Intranet. ♦ Add or remove any special conditions as necessary. Please call attention to any non-standard permit conditions in the cover letter of the permit and include the permit condition where necessary. See the Example Special Conditions document. ♦ If the project is a modification, don't forget to include the system description from the previous permit and void the previous permit in the language! Denying a Project If the Reviewer/Supervisor determines that an application package should be denied because it can not meet NC Statutes, rules or regulations, then a denial letter should be drafted. Special attention should be paid to the statutory deadline for permitting. If it is thought that a project might be denied, it is important to review it and draft the denial letter as soon as possible. There must be time allowed for the denial letter to be sent up to the Director and signed prior to the statutory date. The Reviewer should use the Application Denial Letter template to prepare a denial package for the Supervisor's review and submittal to the Director for signature. The letter should not be dated, but instead will be dated after the Director signs it. A memo to the Director should be attached to the top of the denial package summarizing the reasons for denial. This package must be singed off on by the reviewer, supervisor, Section Chief, and Director. Distribute the letter as directed in "Issuing a Permit" below. Issuing a Permit ♦ Permits should be signed only by those delegated to sign for the Director. ♦ Permits should be distributed as follows (include the signed Operational Agreement if applicable): ✓ Original to the Permittee ✓ Copy to the consulting engineer 4 FAST -TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003 am pp7in Copy to the county health department Copy to the Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Protection for all projects located Mecklenburg County ✓ Copy(ies) to the owner of the WWTF and owner of the downstream sewers (if different than the Permittee) ✓ Electronic Copy and Hard Copy to the NDPU for our files ✓ Copy to Central Files (attach application package and any supporting documents) ✓ Save an electronic version named WQOOXXXXX.doc in a folder on your office shared drive or hard drive.

STRAWN Ms. Connie Pipes, Town Administrator Town of Cajah's Mountain 1800 Connelly Springs Road Lenoir, North Carolina 28645 Re: Wastewater Flow Acceptance Sanitary Sewer Extension; Caldwell Family Physician's Office Town of Cajah's Mountain, North Carolina Dear Ms. Pipes: This letter is to acknowledge the City of Lenoir's willingness to accept an additional 4,500 gallons of wastewater from the Town of Cajah's Mountain. It is understood that this flow will result from extending the Town's wastewater collection system to serve several existing residential and commercial establishments along Connelly Springs Road. The additional flow will enter the City of Lenoir's collection system at the existing metering point and will be treated at the City's Gunpowder WWTP (Permit #NC 0023736). It is also understood that the anticipated flow is a portion of the "Guaranteed Capacity" of 200,000 gallons per day as outlined in the Wastewater A City of Lenoir and the Town of Cajah's Mountain and dated October 11, 1994.

Westall Water Quality Regional Supervisor Asheville Regional Office 59 Woodfin Place Asheville, NC 28801 Re: Holiday Foods Sewer Extension Permit Application Town of Cajah's Mountain, NC TWC Project No. 2808-J Dear Mr. Westall: Attached is a Fast -Track Application for a permit to construct a wastewater system extension for the Town of Cajah's Mountain. The 200 feet extension of an existing gravity sewer line will provide service to a convenience store located at the southwest corner of Connelly Springs Road (SR 1001) and Orchard Drive (SR 1146). As we discussed by phone, this business was originally proposed to be served by the sewer installed under Permit No. WQ0021792. It was found that a service line could not be extended to the business due to conflicts with existing utilities. A permit modification for that project has been requested by the Town to reflect the reduced flow volume. The extension proposed in this application will serve only the convenience store not served by the previous extension. Thus the total flow volume identified in the City of Lenoir's Flow Acceptance Letter, issued for the original project, is still applicable. If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact me at 828-322- 5533. Sincerely, THE WOOTEN COMPANY cyai�ja��� Clarence M.

Any pump station/force main projects that require an Environmental Assessment (EA) are excluded from the Fast -Track review process, and should be submitted for full review to the Central Office (NDPU) on FORM: PSFMGSA 10/99. Additionally, any projects involving a flow reduction request must receive approval for the flow reduction from the central office. PRE -REVIEW v/ Does the application package appear to be generally complete (i.e. all attachments, check, key questions answered)? If any portion of the application is not complete, or if any required instruction items have been omitted, RETURN the application package and supporting documents to the applicant using the Project Return Letter template. Send the package and letter via certified mail to the applicant, and a copy of the letter to the engineering consultant. Any projects that are to be returned shall be returned prior to accepting the application (i.e., before logging in the application and depositing the check). After a project has been accepted, any information that is found to be incorrect and/or lacking must be requested via an Additional Information Request in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0208(e). Ensure that a check for $400 is submitted and made out to NCDENR. All new projects and major modifications to existing projects require an application fee. A major modification includes any changes to permitted flow volumes, changes in pipe diameter, changes in pipe length greater that 10% of the originally permitted length, changes in the operating points of a pump station, etc. SECTION A — Application Information i If the applicant is private (Item B(2)) and listed as a corporation, check the NC Department of the Secretary of State's web site at http://www.secretary.state.nc.us/Corporations/ to ensure that the Applicant is registered with the Secretary of State to conduct business as a corporation in the State of NC. Developer's and HOA's should be listed. Ensure that the signing official meets the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0206(b). If they do not, request a revised application that has been completed by an appropriate official or a letter from an appropriate official that indicates the person in question is delegated to sign the application on the applicant's behalf. A current list of Delegated Signing Officials can be obtained from the DWQ Intranet. If a new delegated signing official letter is presented with the application, forward a copy to the central office so that the person may be added to the Delegated Signing Official list. The central office will send E-mails to the appropriate region if a new signing official has been added so that the most current list can be used. The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has an example delegated signing official letter from hftp://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndpu/spraypol.html#DELEG. SECTION B — Permit Information Project is Pi ? Modification? If the project is a modification to an existing permit, be sure to enter the application into BIMS as a permit modification (i.e. "renew/modify application" and not "create new project") . FAST -TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003 Applicant a public entity (e.g. county, town, sanitary district)? Applicant a private entity? Own (i.e. lease) units, lots, parcels, etc? Sell units, lots, parcels, etc? Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity? 2H .0205(d)(2) ♦ Required if the applicant is a public utility. In lieu of a Certificate. of Public Convenience and Necessity, they may submit written approval from the North Carolina Utilities Commission's Public Staff that states that the utility is allowed to provide utility service in the subject project area. Note that the project name on the application and on the CPCN must match. Contact the NCUC Public Staff if questions arise. Operational Agreement? 2H .0205(d)(2) ♦ Operational Agreements are only required if the applicant is not a public entity (i.e. Town, County, etc.) or public utility as designated by the North Carolina Utilities Commission AND the lots being served by the collection system are to be sold to individual owners. ♦ If the applicant is a developer, they must fill out the DEVELOPER Operational Agreement (FORM: DEV 02/03). A developer may be responsible for the system for an interim period until the homeowners association is formed, at which time a Permit Name/Ownership Change request (FORM: PNOCF 06/00) will be needed to transfer the permit to the HOA. ♦ If the applicant is a homeowners' association (HOA), they must fill out the ASSOCIATION Operational Agreement (FORM: HOA 02/03 The HOA must be registered with the Secretary of State's office and must provide a copy of the Associations' Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation. These documents should be reviewed to ensure that all applicable language regarding the collection system is included as is required by the Operational Agreement. ♦ The Operational Agreement should be attached to the permit and incorporated into the language of the permit. Please note that Operational Agreement language should not be altered without approval from the Attorney General's Office. Operational Agreements are available at http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndpu/ndpuapps.htm1. Approval of flow to receiving sewers and WWTF? (i.e. P4 procedure, but now in-house!) ♦ Ensure that the receiving sewers and WWTF have adequate capacity available to accept the flow volume that is being requested, and that the WWTF has been in compliance with their treatment and disposal permit. Flow acceptance letter(s) from the owner of the WWTF and owner of any intermediate sewers (if different from WWTF owner and applicant)? 2H .0205(d)(3)(C) ♦ Required only if the applicant and the owner of the WWTF/intermediate sewers are not the same entity. ♦ Project specific flow acceptance letters are required. ♦ Ensure that the following items appear.in the flow acceptance letter: applicant's name, project name, amount of wastewater flow accepted, date that the flow acceptance was granted, expiration date of the acceptance, and name/permit number of the receiving WWTF. Do not accept a flow acceptance letter that was issued more than one year prior to the receipt of the package. ♦ Ensure that the owner accepted the entire volume of flow listed in application. Wastewater industrial or domestic in nature? ♦ Most projects will be for wastewater that is domestic in nature, however, if Item B.6 indicates that the wastewater is industrial in nature, notify the Regional Office Pretreatment Coordinator or the WQ Pretreatment Unit Central Office to determine if a pretreatment permit is needed or if a program already in place and compliant. Flow volume calculated correctly? 2H .0219(l) 2 FAST -TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003 ♦ Ensure that the daily design flow in the application is based on the guidance provided in the regulations or existing flow, and that the explanation as to how this volume was determined is very specific (i.e., 22 three -bedroom homes, 50,000 s.f. of retail space, 18 employees, etc). This information will be included in the description of the system in the permit. Our regs say 120 gpd/bedroom for residential. Note that for one -bedroom the minimum they can use is 240 gpd. ♦ If daily design flow is not based on regulations, ensure that the applicant has an approved flow reduction of daily design flow rate on file with the Division. A list of approved flow reductions may be obtained from the DWQ Intranet or by contacting the NDPU. Flow reduction requests are to be reviewed by the central office, and must be reviewed and approved before the application is accepted by the regional office for review. ♦ Ensure that the flows shown on the application match up to what is shown on the plans (if available for review). For example, if the application states that 100 lots are to be developed, ensure that there are 100 lots, and not 150 lots, shown on the plans. Plans are only required for review if the applicant is requesting a variance to the MDC or the .0200's. ♦ Do not approve "future" wastewater flows (i.e., that based on speculative development). These would be permitted in future wastewater collection system extensions. Adequate information provided regarding the proposed gravity sewer and/or force main (if applicable)? Note: An Environmental Assessment may be required if there are 3 miles of gravity sewer and the design capacity is 1 MGD or greater (15A NCAC 1 C .0100). Note that this criteria is currently under revision. Environmental Assessment projects can NOT go Fast -Track! Adequate information provided regarding the proposed pump station(s) (if applicable)? Note: An Environmental Assessment may be required if the pump station(s) have a design capacity greater than 1 MGD or greater (15A NCAC 1 C .0100). If there are any questions about whether an EA may be required, discuss with your supervisor or contact Todd Kennedy of the Planning Branch's Local Government Assistance Unit. ♦ Power reliability at the pump station provided in accordance with Section 5.04 of the Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains document (i.e dual line feed, portable generator w/telemetry, permanent generator with automatic transfer switch, wet well storage if near Class C waters)? Project designed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0200, the Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria and the Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains document (as applicable)? If NO, forward one copy of the supporting documents to the Central Office for review, indicating the permit number, owner and project name. The Central Office will review the variance request, and if approvable, specific language regarding the variance will be forwarded to the Regional Office reviewer to incorporate into the permit. A copy of the variance letter provided by the central office should be kept with the application file. SECTION C — Watershed Classification Topographic map submitted? Watershed classification required? If YES, you are advised to "spot-check" the classification(s). If NO, ensure the applicant/engineer has indicated why one is not required. SECTION D —Certifications Signing Official's signature? 2H .0206(b) ♦ Ensure that the applicant's signature is the same person as that listed as the applicant's signing official on Page 1 of the application form. PE stamped, signed, and dated application, plans, specifications, and calculations (if applicable)? 2H .0205(d)(1)(A)(iii) ♦ Ensure that the same engineer has signed, sealed, and dated the application and all the items, with the exception of items designed by specialty disciplines (i.e., architectural, FAST -TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003 structural, plumbing, and electrical plans). If not, an explanation and/or authorization is required. Adequate information provided for the engineer/engineering firm? PE with active license in North Carolina? 2H .0205(d)(1)(A)(iii) or 2H .0203(28) ♦ Ensure that ALL pertinent P.E.s have active licenses by checking the NC Professional Engineer's Board web site (www.ncbels.org - the PE number must be six digits, use leading 0 when needed). ♦ If the PE seal number does not show up on the web site database, call the PE Board for verification (919) 881-2293. Drafting a Permit ♦ In order to be consistent, use the most current version of the Fast -Track permit shell (see DWQ Intranet). This permit shell contains specific language with respect to the Minimum Design Criteria, regulations, and collection system permitting. The NDPU will notify you of any changes to this permit shell. ♦ Be specific with respect the system description and information. Indicate the flow, what the project will be serving, length and size of gravity sewer lines and force mains, etc. For projects involving pump stations, the size of the pump stations, as well as the reliability option and any additional info (telemetry, odor control system, etc) should be included. A sample permit is on the DWQ Intranet. ♦ Add or remove any special conditions as necessarV. Please call attention to any non-standard permit conditions in the cover letter of the permit and include the permit condition where necessary. See the Example Special Conditions document. ♦ If the project is a modification, don't forget to include the system description from the previous permit and void the previous permit in the language! Denying a Project ♦ If the Reviewer/Supervisor determines that an application package should be denied because it can not meet NC Statutes, rules or regulations, then a denial letter should be drafted. Special attention should be paid to the statutory deadline for permitting. If it is thought that a project might be denied, it is important to review it and draft the denial letter as soon as possible. There must be time allowed for the denial letter to be sent up to the Director and signed prior to the statutory date. ♦ The Reviewer should use the Application Denial Letter template to prepare a denial package for the Supervisor's review and submittal to the Director for signature. The letter should not be dated, but instead will be dated after the Director signs it. A memo to the Director should be attached to the top of the denial package summarizing the reasons for denial. This package must be singed off on by the reviewer, supervisor, Section Chief, and Director. Distribute the letter as directed in "Issuing a Permit" below. Issuing a Permit ♦ Permits should be signed only by those delegated to sign for the Director. ♦ Permits should be distributed as follows (include the signed Operational Agreement if applicable): ✓ Original to the Permittee ✓ Copy to the consulting engineer ✓ Copy to the county health department ✓ Copy to the Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Protection for all projects located in Mecklenburg County ✓ Copy(ies) to the owner of the WWTF and owner of the downstream sewers (if different than the Permittee) ✓ Electronic Copy and Hard Copy to the NDPU for our files ✓ Copy to Central Files (attach application package and any supporting documents) ✓ Save an electronic version named WQOOXXXXX.doc in a folder on your office shared drive or hard drive. Try to keep your drafts and issued files separate. 4 FAST -TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003
