number/type of connections), regulations, or the Minimum Design Criteria. Requested
Page 6 of 8

fications 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)]

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)]

RE: Fast Track Application
Tallulah Creek and Circle Street Areas
Sewer System -Improvements
Town of Robbinsville, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Davidson:
On behalf of the Town of Robbinsville, please find attached a Fast Track Application for
the above gravity sewer system project.
The project generally consists of approximately 8,462 linear feet (LF) of 8-inch ductile
iron pipe (DIP) gravity sewer line, 120. LF of steel encasement pipe complete with carrier pipe:
installed by bore and jack, 50 LF of 6-inchDIP gravity sewer line; -50 LF 0--f-10-inch DIP gravity
sewer line, 76 manholes, and related app rtenances. The purpose of this project is to reduce
Sanitary sewer overflows and I&I by replacing old, broken, and sagging 6- and 8-inch vitrified
clay pipe with new lines. This project improves service to existing customers of the system but
does . not add additional: customers. This project is being funded entirely by a Community
Development Block Grant.
Most of these pipes will be installed along existing alignments for which encroachments.
and easements have already been acquired An Erosion and. Sedimentation Control Plan will be
filed with the North Carolina. Department of Environmental Quality Land Section.
The following documents are enclosed:
- One. (1) original and one (1) copy o�, the Fast Track Application Form (FTA 10-1.4)
One (1) original check for the $480 application fee
One (1) original and one (1) copy off the Downstream Sewer, WWTP Capacity and Flow
Tracking/Acceptance form (FTSE 08-13)

III. Certification Statement:
I Steve Hooper 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.
