The anticipated flows from this project are not expected to cause any capacity related sanitary sewer overflows or to overburden any downstream pump stations en route to the receiving treatment plant under normal circumstances. There is an existing 8" public sanitary sewer main in the adjacent Linville Street that will serve as the outfall for the project. Proposed Project: The project will include 212 L.F. of 8" public sanitary sewer line. The line will connect from the existing public sanitary sewer line in Linville Street and will be extended the required distance to service the proposed Linville Cove Apartments (32 units, 7,680 gal per day). No major street repairs are anticipated in order to install the proposed line (a small pavement repair contingency is included in the cost estimate); however, the line construction will require an NCDOT Encroachment Permit. All construction will be in accordance with the Town of Newland, NC and NCDENR Standards and Specifications. The Town of Newland, NC has confirmed that adequate capacity is available at the Town of Newland Wastewater Treatment Plant to treat the wastewater discharge from this project (see attached Letter).

Certification by a PE who is unfamiliar with these documents is subject to NC Board referral. ❑ X. Downstream Sewer&Wastewater Treatment Plant Capacity The applicant has assured downstream pipe, pump station and treatment plant capacity. The addition of new sources of wastewater from this project has been evaluated along the route to the receiving treatment plant. The flow from this project will not cause capacity related sanitary sewer overflows or overburden any downstream pump station en route to the receiving wastewater treatment plant. If the applicant is not the owner of the downstream sewer or receiving treatment plant, submittal of flow acceptance letter(s) indicates that owner has adequate capacity and will not violate G.S. 143-215.67(a).

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 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. Wastewater Indus domestic i�na re? 4 Most projects wil be for west er that is domestic in nature, however, if item B.6 indicates that the wastewat ustrial 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. __F�Owvolume calculated correctly? 2H.0219(1) 4 hsure that the daily;;40sign 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. a 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 1/ 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 (Rev 2/06) g a Project ♦ If the Reviewer/Supervisor determines that an application package should be denied because it can not meet (SIC 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 daze. ♦ 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"thief, 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 1MNTF 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 WQOOXXYXX.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 des criteria or outside of the permit. For instance, minimum cover; 'slope; minimum separation distance 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. d Regardless of review, certifications need to be processed as this closes out the permit. Follow the processing engineering certifications guidance document. z' 6 FAST-TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003(Rev 2/06) r' r - r. WGILL ASSOCIATES, P.A. 56850 N.C.

Additionally, any projects involving a flow'reduction request must receive approval for the flow reduction from the central office. ;PRE-REVIEW . 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,ornitted, 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 Inf ation Request in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0208(e). Ensure that a check for his submitted and made out to NCDENR. All new projects and maior 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 If the applicant is private (Item 8(2)) and listed as a corporation, check the NC Department of the Secretary of State's web site at http://www.secreta[y.state.ne.us/Corporations/to ensure that the plicant 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 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.htmI#DELEG. SECTION 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)? _X__�pplicant 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 Conveni ce and Necessity? 2H.0205(d)(2) Required if the applicant is public utility. In lieu of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, hey may submit written approval from the North Carolina Utilities Commi sion's Public Staff that states that the utility is allowed to provide utility seniice in the subject project area. Note that the project name on the application a d on the CPCN must match. Contact the NCUC Public Staff if questions aris .. This is NOT REQUIRED for a municipality or county! Examples o ompanies that would provide a CPCN are Heater Utilities or Carolina Water ervice, etc. ******OR******* Operatigpal,Agreement? 2H.0205(d)(2 t'a t.a. ` ♦ Operational Agreements are only required i the applicant is not a public ' entity(i.e. Town, County, etc.) or public utility s designated by the North Carolina Utilities Commission AND the lots bei g served by the collection system are to be sold to individual owners. ♦ If the applicant is a developer, they must fill o t the DEVELOPER Operational Agreement(FORM: DEV 02/03). developer may be responsible for the system for an interim perio until the homeowners association is formed, at which time a Permit ame/Ownership Change request(FORM: PNOCF 06/00) will be need to transfer the permit to the HOA. ♦ If the applicant is a homeowners' assoc' tion (HOA), they must fill out the ASSOCIATION Operational Agree ent(FORM: HOA 02/03 The HOA must be registered with the Se etary of State's office and must provide a copy of the Associations' ylaws and Articles of Incorporation. These documents should be revi ed to ensure that all applicable language regarding the collectio system is included as is required by the Operational Agreement. ♦ The Operational Agreement sh Id be attached to the permit and incorporated into the language of the permit. Please note that Operational . Agreement language should of be altered without approval from the Attorney General's Office. O erational Agreements are available at htt ://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/P RCS/from the collection system applications page. pproval 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 yolume that is being requested, and that the WWTF has been in compliance with their t atment 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. 2 FAST-TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003(Rev 2/06) Main Problems Noted: A flow acceptance letter is provided by the receiving V1!•NTP owner but not the downstream sewer owner, which both are different from the applicant. Example, private developer in Knightdale. Both Knightdale and Raleigh would need to provide a flow acceptance /:letter as Kniahtdale will transport tthe wastewater and Raleigh will treat the wastewater. Wastewater industrial dd om 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(1) ♦ Ei�,5ute-that the daily assign 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 Vent' 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'hat 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. o 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 g,1/acre— 1500 gpd/acre. Let the engineer 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 1 C .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 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 ay 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. You will need to ask for storage calculations and the power outage data. Note 2: Ensure telemetry is specified if a portable generator is called out. Check with the engineer if unsure. Note 3: Ensure an automatic transfer switch (ATS) is specified if a permanent(standby) generator is specified. Check with the engineer if unsure. Main Problems Noted: Failure to specify appropriate or applicable power reliability option 3 FAST-TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003 (Rev 2/06) <ject designed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0200, the Gravity Sewer Minimum De Criteria and the Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast-Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains document(as applicable)? NO will be checked in Item B(12) of the FTA. 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. If you catch something in the application or supporting documents that is not in accordance with our regs or MDC, send an additional information request. Main Problems Noted: A public entity specifies 6-inch line when 8-inch is required; 4-inch line is specified and no variance requested; supporting documents show slope issues... SECTII C--��?Vatershed Classi&ation '� C ��r top,ographic map submitted? ! ` vWatershed'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. BOTH BOXES IN SECTION C MUST BE CHECKED TO NOT PROVIDE A CLASSIFICATION! SECTI D—Applicant 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, structural, plumbing, and electrical plans). If not, an explanation and/or authorization is required. Adequate information provided for the engineer/engineering firm? P 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 upon 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. 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) Fct v If the Reviewer/Supervisor determines that an application package should be denied because it can If 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 summq zing the reasons for denial. This package must be singed off on by the reviewer ,..supeNisor, SectiorT 2-hief, 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 V 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 WAITF 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 WQOOXXXXX.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) m If the region wishes to perform a detailed review—look for items not meeting the minimum deI criteria or outside of the permit. For instance, minimum cover; slope; minimum separation dis line size changes; length; reroutes; additional lots than permitted; pump station alarms; pump times; no indication of record drawing (as-builts) on plans; no PE seal or note about record dr (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. iq 6 FAST-TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003 (Rev 2106) P.A. 56422 Check Number: 56422 .

For instance, if the project involves 4 miles of interceptor sewer that traverses over or near several different waterbodies (or counties, basins, etc.), the map should have location ID's shown for each different waterbody (where the sewer line is within 100 feet of such waterbody - see Instruction VII). This location ID is self chosen and used to cross reference the location in Section C of the permit application: ® VII. Stream Classifications—Section C a If any portion of the project is within 100 feet of any down slope surface water, Section C must be completed for the pertinent sections. • If the entire project area is a minimum of 100 feet away from any down slope surface waters BUT there is a pump station involved where a history of power outage is to be used to provide adequate design storage instead of dual feed or permanent or portable generator, Section C must be completed to demonstrate that the closest down slope surface water is Class C (see 15A NCAC 2H .0219(h)(3)(D)). O Use the guidance document entitled, "Determining Watershed Classifications for Form FTA 02/03 (Fast-Track Sewer Systems)" available from http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/peres or by contacting the appropriate regional office.

Bob Tatum Avery County Board of Education P4 Box 1360 Newland,NC 28657 Dear W Tatum: The Town of Newland has agreed to accept the sewer flow from Avery County Mddle School into the town's wastewater system. As we understand, an 8"gravity sewer line will be constructed to connect the Avery County Middle School to the Avery County High School sewer system. This project will include a new 8" sewer collection system running to a new sewer pump station. The sewer pump station will discharge into a new 4" sewer force amain,which will tie into the existing 4' sewer force main located at the intersection of Highway IS and Avery County High School Road(SR 1370). A coFy of the email from Keith Welt, representng the Rivers Edge property(]RC Building), is attached. If any of the information included in the email changes, please notify us at once, as we will need to see if this impacts the town's acceptance of the additional sewer flow from the Mddle School and Rivers Edge.

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 (PERCS) on FORM: PSFMGSA 10199. Additionally, any projects involving a flow reduction request must receive approval for the flow reduction from the central office. ; PRE:-REVIEV; 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 andior lacking must be requested via an Additional Innfor ation 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 maior P 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 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 INC.

In lieu of a Certificate of Public Y Convenience and'N.eces 'ty, they may submit written approval from the North Carolina.Utilities Co mission's PubliQ Staff that states that the utility is allowed to provide utility se ice in the subjec.project area. Note that the project name on the applicati and on the CPCN must match. Contact the NCUC Public Staff if questions rise. This is NOT REQUIRED for a municipality or county! Example of companies that would provide a CPCN are Heater Utilities or Carolina Wa r Service, etc. ******OR******* Operational Agreement? 2H.0205(d)(2 ♦ Operational Agreements are only require if the applicant is not a public entity (i.e. Town, County, etc.) or public uti!i as designated by the North Carolina Utilities Commission AND the lots b g served by the collection system are to be sold to individual owners. ♦ If the applicant is a developer, they must fill o t the DEVELOPER Operational Agreement(FORM: DEV 02103). developer may be responsible for the system for an interim perio until the homeowners association is formed, at which time a Permit ame/Ownership Change request(FORM: PNOCF 06100) will be need to transfer the permit to the HOA. ♦ If the applicant is a homeowners' associ ion (HOA), they must fill out the ASSOCIATION Operational Agree nt(FORM: HOA 02/03 The HOA must be registered with the Secr tary of State's office and must provide a copy of the Associations' B laws and Articles of Incorporation. These documents should be review d to ensure that all applicable language regarding the collection stem is included as is required by the Operational Agreement. ♦ The Operational Agreement shoul be attached to the permit and incorporated into the language o he permit. Please note that Operational Agreement language should no be altered without approval from the Attorney General's Office. Op ational Agreements are available at hftp://h2o.enr.state.hc.us/PE CS/from the collection system applications page. f 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. 2 FAST-TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003(Rev 2106) in 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 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. astewater indusCwL domestic in n- re? klost projects for was ter that is domestic in nature, however, if item B.o indicates thatthe waste ustriai 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(f) + Ensure that the daily design flew in the application is based on the guidance provided in the regulations or existing flow, and that the explanation as to hove this volume was determined is very specific(i.e., 22 three-bedreom 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/bedreom 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. 4, 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 IC .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 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. You will need to ask for storage calculations and the power outage data. Note 2: Ensure telemetry is specified if a portable generator is called out. Check with the engineer if unsure. Note 3: Ensure an automatic transfer switch (ATS) is specified if a permanent(standby) generator is specified. Check with the engineer if unsure. Main Problems Noted: Failure to specify appropriate or applicable power reliability option 3 FAST-TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003(Rev 2/06) Project designed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0200, the Gravity Sewer Minimum Criteria and the Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast-Track Permitting of Pump Stations a Force Mains document(as applicable)? NO will be checked in Item B(12) of the FTA. If NO, forward one copy of the supporting documents to the Central Office for review, indicating the permit number, owner and protect 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. If you catch something in the application or supporting s documents that is not in accordance with our regs or MDC, send an additional information request. Main Problems Noted: A public entity specifies 6-inch line when 8-inch is required; 4-inch line is specifi d and no variance requested; supporting documents show slope issues... SECT C—Watershed Classification Color topographic map submitted? Watershed classification required? If YES, you are advised to "spot-check'the classification(s).' NO, ensure the applicant/engineer has indicated why one is not required. BOTH BOXES IN SECTION C MUST BE CHECKED TO NOT PROVIDE A CLASSIFICATION! SECT19 D—Applicant Certifications ?oSigning 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. `-APE stamped, signed, and dated application, plans, specifications, and calculations (if applicable)? c�?,i _ 2H.0205(d)(1)(A)(iii) o 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, structural, plumbing, and electrical plans). If not, an explanation and/or authorization is / required. y Ade ate information provided for the engineer/engineering firm? E 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. 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) Project f 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 latter 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"Ifith 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(!es) to the owner of the'JWJTF 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 I V sheet) ✓ 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. 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 criteria or outside of the permit. For instance, minimum cover; slope; minimum separation dist line size changes; length; reroutes; additional lots than permitted; pump station alarms; pump cyc 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) c Number:Check Numb �55365 Date: . 7/23/2007, Check.Amt: $40.,0.00 Type„ Date Reference Balance - Discount- P,ay Amount Invoice 07/23/07. $400,.00 $000 $400..00: _ - - - - . - -- — - 55365 . 55365 �71�IL� WGILL ASSOCIATES, P.A Branch Banking and Trust Company P.O:BOX 2259 , ASHEVIL'LE,NG:28802, ttztsat PH:(828)252-0575, Y Exa y hundred and no 7 tt 100Dollars o Ctl Four DATE .
