Dear Mr. Johnson:
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) is proposing to grade, drain,
base and pave SR 1205, Bert's Creek Road, primarily along the existing roadway. In order to
construct this project in accordance with our current secondary road standards and•due to the
proximity of a trout stream (Tululah Creek and tributaries, DEM WS III - Trout Water),
extension of pipe culverts, and relocation of approximately 193' of an existing three-foot channel,
we are-requesting authorization under Section 404 of the Clean Water Act.
I am sending a straight-line diagram with the proposed erosion control, stream, stream
bank, and construction limits and various sites along the project where we will be in conflict with
the stream. In addition, I am sending a typical section of the road, cross sections, channel change
detail, drawings for pipe culvert replacements, general notes and standards on some erosion
control measures, and a marked map. We propose to install all the new culverts slightly below
the existing streambed elevations where bedrock is not encountered to minimize impacts to
wildlife habitats and allow the existing stream gradients to remain as unchanged as is physically
possible. No threatened or endangered species are known to be present in our near the project
area; therefore, no significant impacts are anticipated from project construction.
The best management practices will be used to minimize and control sedimentation and
erosion on this project. The construction foreman will review all erosion control measures daily rn�
to ensure sedimentation and erosion are being effectively controlled. If the planned devices are m
not functioning as intended, they will immediately be replaced with better devices. The rocksilt rn Fn
screens and other erosion control devices will be in place prior to pipe culvert construction and
will remain in place until the project is stabilized.

Preliminary Engineering Report
US 129 North(Tapoco Road) Sewer Extent
April 22, 1999
1. In the"Critical Needs" section of the PER, five homes are addressed as a part of the
critical public health needs. They are located within the first 2000 feet of the proposed
4300 feet of sewer. Please address the remainder of the connections proposed for this
line.
2. Confirm and document that the proposed line meets 2H.200 of the North Carolina
Administrative Codes.
3. Confirm and provide preliminary calculations that the line that the proposed line
discharges into can handle the additional current and future flows.
4. Provide 20 year population projections and 20 year flow projections for the proposed
service area. Provide good basis for any expected rapid growth. The Office of State
Planning provides population projections for each county. That information can be
accessed on the Internet at: http://www.ospl.state.nc.us/demog.
5. Is there a sewer moratorium on the municipality?
6. Are there other alternatives for serving the proposed area. If so, submit appropriate
materials discussing and costing these measures.
7. Not all required items were addressed in the Environmental Assessment of the PER. A
guideline for an Environmental Assessment is enclosed.

Environmental Assessment (EA)
An EA must be included as a separate section of the PER. The EA must enter the
environmental review process if the project exceeds the minimum criteria described below:
(The minimum criteria can also be found in 15A NCAC 1 C .0100.)
Contact the Army Corps of Engineers regarding 404 permit requirements if necessary. An
environmental assessment is a concise but accurate document which describes the following
items:
1. Existing Environment -Describe in concise terms the demographics, topography,
land use, soils, geology, surface waters, and groundwater in the project area.
2. Need -Describe the need for the proposed project.
3. Alternative Analysis -Discuss alternatives to the proposed action including the
alternative of doing nothing to meet the need.
4. Environmental Consequences - State clearly but concisely the environmental
impacts of the selected alternative on the project service area. Impacts to be
addressed should include at least a brief discussion of the following categories:
a) Changes in land use,
b) Wetlands and floodplains
c) Prime or unique agricultural lands
d) Public lands such as parks (state, federal, or local)
e) Scenic and recreational areas
f) Areas of archeological or historical value
g) Air quality
h) Groundwater quality
i) Nuisance conditions (i.e., odor, noise, etc.)
j) Water supplies
k) Shellfish or fish and their habitats
1) Wildlife and their habitats (identify any threatened or endangered species)
m) - Introduction of toxic or hazardous substances
n) Receiving waters
o) Indirect or secondary impacts

SECTION I INTRODUCTION
The Town of Robbinsville is located in central Graham County along U.S. 129.
The Town is the County seat and has a population of approximately 1,000 persons. The
Town provides sewer service to approximately 500 customers.
The recommended improvements would be implemented along U.S. 129 between
the wastewater treatment plant and Willie Colvin Road. These improvements include
extending the town's current sewer system between the above mentioned locations to
serve existing residential areas, which are experiencing septic tank failures.
This report discusses improvements needed to address this public health hazard.
It is intended to support an application to the North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources for a High Unit Cost Grant through the 1998 Critical Needs Bond
Program.

u

SECTION II EXISTING FACILITIES
The existing wastewater treatment facilities of the Town of Robbinsville include a
contact stabilization treatment plant fed by a system of gravity collection lines, all
described herein.
1. Sewer Collection
The . sewer collection system consists of a network of
approximately 35,000 linear feet of 8-inch and 6-inch vitrified clay, PVC,
and ductile iron gravity sewer lines serving the developed areas that have
�. sewer services. There are individual residential, commercial, and
industrial users with sewer charges currently based on water usage.
2. Wastewater Treatment
All sewage carried by the collection system enters the existing
wastewater treatment plant by gravity. The original plant was constructed
in 1964 and is located on the north side of town at the intersection of
US 129 and Knight Street near the confluence of the Cheoah River and
Long Creek.
The plant, which was expanded in 1986 from 0.13 MGD to 0.63
MGD, operates by the contact stabilization process. Existing equipment
includes a bar screen, comminutor, grit chamber, influent pump station,
aeration, clarification basins with related pumps, blowers, and equipment,
sludge handling facilities, necessary mechanical and yard piping,
disinfection equipment, standby power equipment, laboratory facilities,
and electrical control systems. The wastewater treatment facility is in
good operating condition.
4

SECTION III CRITICAL NEED FOR PROJECT
Currently, there are at least five (5) homes along U.S. 129 that have experienced
septic tank failure. Raw sewage from several of these residences regularly overflows and
actually flows across the highway during wet weather. This condition is obviously a
critical public health need and should be addressed immediately. Several repairs of these
private wastewater systems have been attempted, but due to close proximity of natural
springs and poor soil quality there is simply no effective way of repairing these systems.
Unfortunately, the Town of Robbinsville's current wastewater collection system
doffs not extend to the area in question, thus making a resolution to this situation difficult
without adequate capital funding. This area of Robbinsville has been a concern of the
Graham County Health Department for quite some time, and a letter from the Health
Department regarding this area can be found in Appendix A.
s
a

SECTION IV PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The proposed project consists of approximately 4300 LF of 8" PVC sewer line
and appurtenances extending between the wastewater treatment plant on US 129 and
Knight Street and Willie Colvin Road. The proposed project would serve approximately
15 to 20 homes and eliminate the failing septic tanks which are currently a public health
hazard.

SECTION VIII SUMMARY
Due to the inability to repair the existing private wastewater treatment systems, it
is necessary for the Town of Robbinsville to extend the public sewer system to
accommodate the homes in need. It is proposed that the Town extend its current
wastewater collection system approximately 4300 LF along US 129 at an estimated cost
of $323,360.00.
10

SECTION IX ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
It is expected the proposed scope of work encompassing 4300 LF of sanitary
sewer installation will cause little, if any, adverse environmental impacts.
Changes In Land Use
Construction of the sewer lines would not alter the present land use either during
or after construction.
Wetlands and Floodplains
An aerial crossing will be performed over Long Creek near the location of the
wastewater treatment plant. All necessary permits will be obtained for this phase of the
construction. Regarding the rest of the project, all facilities will either be constructed
above the 100-year flood plain or protected by appropriate devices such as watertight
manhole covers and elevated vents. This will assure that there will be no significant
' adverse impacts to flood plain areas.
Prime or Unique Agricultural Lands
There are no known prime or unique agricultural lands in the project area.
Public Lands
A majority of the sanitary sewer line placement will be within the North Carolina
Department of Transportation right-of-way, and the necessary permits will be obtained
from the NCDOT before construction begins.
Scenic and Recreational Areas
No scenic or recreational areas will be impacted by the project.
11

Areas of Archeological or Historical Value
The construction of this project is not expected to impact any areas of
archaeological or historical significance.
Air Quality
This project does not involve the discharge of any vapor or particulates in to the
air. No air quality impacts are anticipated.
Groundwater Quality
`i
The scope of this project includes providing sewer service for homes with failing
septic systems. Once the project is complete the impact on groundwater quality will be
positive.
Nuisance Conditions
Any increased noise levels will be during daytime working hours during project
construction. No significant impacts are expected.
Water Supplies
No known water supply intakes are located immediately downstream of the
existing discharge. The proposed flow increase is not expected to have any impact on
any public or private water supplies.
l -
12

Wildlife and Their Habitats
The only possibility of wildlife impacts would be due to the crossing of Long
Creek. However, the crossing will be aerial thus minimizing any potential impacts.
Furthermore, the necessary permits will be acquired before construction commences, and
erosion and sedimentation measures will be taken during construction to minimize
impacts to wildlife.
Introduction of Toxic Substances
No chemical agents will be introduced to the surrounding waters, therefore there will be
no adverse impacts due to toxic substances.
i
Receiving Waters
Approximately 15 to 20 new sewer customers plan to be served with the addition
to the Robbinsville Sewer System. Even though the addition of customers will increase
the amount of waste going to the WWTP, the operation of the WWTP and discharge of
the treated effluent will be subject to the requirements in the NPDES permit and
regulations implemented to protect the water quality of the receiving stream. No
significant adverse impacts on the water quality of the receiving water or on other
characteristics are expected.
Indirect or Secondary Impacts
The proposed project is not expected to spur extensive growth in or around the
Town but are needed to serve the existing areas with septic tank failures as mentioned in
previous sections of this report. Completion of the project is not expected to cause
changes in the historical development patterns in or around the Town of Robbinsville.
No significant impacts to natural or environmental resources are expected as a result of
the expansion of the Town of Robbinsville sewer system.
13
4

Mitigative Measures
While no significant adverse environmental impacts are anticipated, various
mitigative measures will be included in the design and construction of the proposed
sewer extension project. These measures will further reduce or eliminate any impacts to
the environmental and natural resources in proximity to the proposed project.
All applicable erosion control measures will be incorporated into the design and
construction of the extension. Silt fences, check dams, settling basins, and prompt
seeding, among other measures, will be utilized to insure that construction activities do
not pose an erosion or siltation hazard.
Lastly, the additional flow to the wastewater treatment facility will be regularly
checked to assure compliance with all NPDES permit conditions and other applicable
regulations.

of the municipal wastewater collection system, The extension will serve an area in '
^vra'ta Col -on State Highway 129 l.`orth and Willie Colvia�t Road.
This area is currently tieing served by private wastewater systems. Five rental houses on
.129 Nort are currently having problems with their wastewafw-r systems due to springs;
poor soil,.aad limited space. Each system s, rvirig the Aver residences has been repaired at
least once:due to failures. All available space for adequate repairs have been utilized in
this area. Other houses on.Willie ColvLA Road are also encountering similar problems.
Iaquire's have-ilso been-made concerning building at least two businesses and a church in .
the area. i?ue to soil depth and fill material, space would be limited and possibly
ja0equate for a subsul e system to serve the establishments.
An extension of the munnicipal wastewater system to this ama would not only help the
property owners,but also help to promote public health in the area. .

being returned as incomplete. Forms are available from the web site or by calling the Regional Office serving your county:
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/peres/Collection%20SystemsICollectionSystemApplications.html
® A. Application Form - Submit one original and one copy of the completed and appropriately executed application
form. The application should include a project narrative describing the final build-out design (i.e. system and/or
pump station to ultimately serve 500 homes, but flow for only 100 homes being requested now). For modifications,
clearly explain the reason for the modification (i.e. adding another phase, changing line size/length, etc.). Only
include the modified information in this permit application - do not duplicate project information that has already
been included in the original permit.
Any changes to this form will result in the application being returned. The Division of Water Quality (Division)will
only accept application packages that have been fully completed with all applicable items addressed. You do not
need to submit detailed plans and specifications unless you respond NO to Item B(13).
Separate applications should be made for non-contiguous sewer systems.
® B. Application Fee - Submit a check in the amount of $480 made payable to: North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR). Checks shall be dated within 90 days of application submittal.
❑ C. Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity — If the application is being submitted in the name of a
privately-owned public utility, submit two copies of the .Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN)
which demonstrates that the public utility is authorized to hold the utility franchise for the area to be served by the
sewer extension. If a CPCN has not been issued, provide two copies of a letter from the North Carolina Utilities
Commission's Public Staff that states that an application for a franchise has been received, that the service area
is contiguous to an existing franchised area, and/or that franchise approval is expected. The project name in the
CPCN or letter must match that provided in Item A(2)a of this application.
❑ D. Operational Agreements—Submit one original and two copies of a properly executed operational agreement, as
per 15A NCAC 02T .0115, if the application is submitted by a private applicant and will be serving residential or
commercial lots (e.g., houses, condominiums, townhomes, outparcels, etc.) that will be sold to another entity. If
the applicant is a home or property owner's association, use Form HOA 02/03. If the applicant is a developer,
use Form DEV 02/03. EVEN IF THE PROJECT MAY BE TURNED OVER TO A MUNICIPALITY UPON
COMPLETION, FORM DEV 02/03 IS REQUIRED.
® E. Downstream Sewer, WWTF Capacity and Flow Tracking/Acceptance — FORM FTSE 10/07 (Flow
Tracking/Acceptance for Sewer Extension Permit Applications) is required with every application. The applicant
(and owners of downstream sewers, pump stations and/or treatment facilities submitting FORM FTSE-10/07)
certifies that the addition of the volume of wastewater to be permitted in this project has been evaluated along the
route to the receiving treatment plant, and that 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. Where the applicant is not the owner of the downstream sewer, submit two copies of FORM FTSE 10/07
from the owner of the downstream sewer and owner of the WWTF, if different. The flow acceptance indicated in
FORM FTSE-10/07 must not expire prior to permit issuance and must be dated less than one year prior to the
application date. Submittal of this application and FORM FTSE-10107 indicates that owner has adequate
capacity and will not violate G.S. 143-215.67(a). Intergovernmental agreements or other contracts will not be
accepted in lieu of project-specific FTSE 10/07.
® F Map—Submit an 8.5-inch by 11-inch COLOR copy of a USGS Topographic Map of sufficient scale to identify the
entire project area and the closest surface waters. Each map or maps must show the location of the sewer line
and pump stations and be of reproducible quality. Include a street level map showing the downstream connection
point, and the permit number for the downstream sewer, if known.
FTA 12/07

assifications — Watershed Classification Attachment (Form WSCAS-12/07) If any portion of the
stem project is within 100 feet of any surface water or wetlands, the Watershed Classification Attachment
eed to be completed. A variance must be requested for encroachment within required setbacks or buffers
rsuant to 2T.0305 (f) and be indicated in Item B-13 with supporting documentation/justification provided.
Environmental Assessments—If this project is subject to an Environmental Assessment(EA) [15A NCAC
01C], this application cannot be used. Send the project application on the most current version of Form
PSFMGSA to the Design Management Unit, 1633 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1633. Applications
cannot be accepted until a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) or Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
has been issued. A copy is to be submitted with that permit application.
❑ I. Flow Direction — Many wastewater treatment systems are entering into agreements for regionalization efforts
and emergency treatment capacity. Parts of the system are installed so that the wastewater flow can be directed
to more than one treatment facility. If this is the case with this project, please indicate in 13(12) and give the permit
number of the second treatment facility.
® J. Certifications—Section C
The application must be certified by both the applicant and the design engineer who is a North Carolina
Registered Professional Engineer (PE). The applicant signature must match the signing official listed in Item
A(lb). The PE should NOT certify the application if he/she is unfamiliar with 15A NCAC Chapter 2T, the Gravity
Sewer Minimum Design Criteria (most recent version) and the Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast-Track
Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains (most recent version), as applicable to the project.

Jeff,
I have learned that the portable generator the county has is not capable of powering the septage receiving station.
However, as we discussed,the system being permitted is not an inline pump station. The use of this station will be
limited to intermittent septage disposal with an attendant'present during its use. In the event of power failure,the
system will be shut down, and the gate to the facility closed until power is restored. Therefore,we respectfully request
that any requirements for standby power be waived for the issuance of the permit we have been discussing.
I will be out of the office this morning, but available this afternoon to discuss as necessary.

Sorry about the email confusion. Clearly I was sending the last email to one of my engineers instead of you so it makes
no sense. To explain further I don't think we have any problem with the simplex alternative design (which is required
since simplex are only allowed for single family residences on alternative systems) as long as the wetwell is sufficient for
the bulk dumping(I don't have any idea the size of a RV septage load?). The portable generator seems to meet the 2T
rule requirements without any special approval. Let me know if we can provide any additional assistance. Again, sorry
about the confusion.

Seth,
am looking for some assistance in this permitting matter. Permit No. WQ0036011, dated June 25, 2012, was
issued to Graham County as a modification to permit No. WQ0030610 (both are attached to this email).
Please review these permits when you get the time and give me a call so we can discuss. I spoke with Michael
Leggett yesterday regarding this project. The engineer designed the 20 gallon per minute pump station to have
a simplex pump but the permit was issued as having duplex. The permit app also had a permanent generator
WATS as the power option and should have marked as a portable generator both of these options meet
minimum design criteria, however the current permit does not reflect this.

Subject: RE: WQ0036011 Simplex pump station
Jeff,
I have enclosed a copy of the original permit that was issued for the existing septage receiving station. I am concerned
that the original permit for this facility does not include a standby generator or telemetry system and'was not included
in the construction. However,the updated permit that you sent the other day included these items in the description of
the existing facility.
I think it is important to understand the use of the existing facility as well as the proposed RV septage receiving station
adjacent to the exist facility. Both of these facilities are located within the Graham County Solid Waste Transfer Station
and are/will be used only when an attendant is operating the system. In the event of pump failure,the existing system
is equipped with an audible and visible high water alarm. But in such an event the system is shut down and will no
3

longer receive waste until repaired. Access to these facilities is controlled through a locked gate to the grope
Therefore, no unauthorized or uncontrolled use of these facilities should occur. This is the reason that no gener
telemetry system has been provided on the existing system and none is proposed with the newly proposed adjace
facility.
I am concerned that the modified language in the recent permit amendment does not accurately reflect the existing
facilities and therefore may be problematic in certifying the system in the end.
Thanks for your help in resolving this issue.

privately-owned public utility, submit two copies of the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN)
which demonstrates that the public utility is authorized to hold the utility franchise for the area to be served by the
sewer extension. If a CPCN has not been issued, provide two copies of a letter from the North Carolina Utilities
Commission's Public Staff that states that an application for a franchise has been received, that the service area
is contiguous to an existing franchised area, and/or that franchise approval is expected. The project name in the
CPCN or letter must match that provided in Item A(2a) of this application.
❑ IV. Operational Agreements — Submit one original and two copies of a properly executed operational agreement if
the sewer extension is permitted by a private applicant and will be serving residential or commercial lots (e.g.,
houses, condominiums, townhomes, outparcels, etc.) that will be sold to another entity. If the applicant is a
homeowners' association, use Form HOA 02/03. If the applicant is a developer, use Form DEV 02/03. EVEN IF
THE PROJECT WILL BE TURNED OVER TO A MUNICIPALITY, FORM DEV 02/03 IS REQUIRED.
® V. Flow Acceptance Letters— If the owner of the downstream sewers and/or WWTF is different from the applicant,
submit two copies of a flow acceptance letter from the owner of the downstream sewers and WWTF, if different.
Flow acceptance letters must contain the following minimum information: applicant and project name, amount of

are Heater Utilities or Carolina W ter Service, etc.
******OR*******
Operational Agreement? 2H.0205(d)(2
♦ Operational Agreements are only req ired if the applicant is not a public
entity (i.e. Town, County, etc.) or publi utility as designated by the North
Carolina Utilities Commission AND the I is being served by the collection
system are to be sold to individual owne
♦ If the applicant is a developer, they mu fill out the DEVELOPER
Operational Agreement(FORM: DEV 02 3). A developer may be
responsible for the system for an interim riod until the homeowners
association is.formed, at which time_a Per 't Name/Ownership Change
request(FORM: PNOCF 06/00)will be nee d to transfer the permit to
the HOA.
♦ If the applicant is a homeowners' associ (HOA), they must fill out
the ASSOCIATION Operational Agree t_(FORM: HOA 02/03 The
HOA must be registered with the Se ary of State's office and must
provide a copy of the Association. ylaws and Articles of Incorporation.
These documents should be re wed to ensure that all applicable
language regarding the coil ion system is included as is required by
the Operational Agreeme .
♦ The Operational Agree nt should be attached to the permit and
incorporated into the nguage of the permit. Please note that Operational
Agreement languae should not be altered without approval from the
Attorney Genera' Office. Operational Agreements are available at
hft ://h2o.enr. te.nc.us/PERCS/from the collection system applications
page.
_LZ/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 2/06)

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
as Knightdale will t� a wastewater and Raleigh will treat the wastewater.
Wastewater industria or domestic in nature?
♦ Most projects will for wa ater 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.0299(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
engineer support his calculation.
�Aequate 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
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 1C .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

C/ 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.
�PEstamped, 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?
_, APE 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 [phone].
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 td 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.

FAST-TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003 (Rev 2/06)

roject
♦ 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!):

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.

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 distan
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.

INSTRUCTIONS: Indicate that you have included the following list of required application package items by checking the
space provided next to each item. Failure to submit all required items will lead to your application being returned as
incomplete or additional processing and review time. This form may be photocopied for use as an original.
® I. Application Form - Submit one original and one copy of the completed and appropriately executed application
form. Any changes to this form will result in the application .being returned. The Division of Water Quality
(Division) will only accept application packages that have been fully completed with all applicable items
addressed. You do not need to submit detailed plans and specifications unless you respond NO to Item B(12).
® II. Application Fee - Submit a check in the amount of $400 made payable to: North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR).
❑ III. Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity — If the application is being submitted in the name of a
privately-owned public utility, submit two copies of the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN)
which demonstrates that the public utility is authorized to hold the utility franchise for the area to be served by the
sewer extension. If a CPCN has not been issued, provide two copies of a letter from the North Carolina Utilities
Commission's Public Staff that states that an application for a franchise has been received, that the service area
is contiguous to an existing franchised area, and/or that franchise approval is expected. The project name in the
CPCN or letter must match that provided in Item A(2a) of this application.
❑ IV. Operational Agreements — Submit one original and two copies of a properly executed operational agreement if
the sewer extension is permitted by a private applicant and will be serving residential or commercial lots (e.g.,
houses, condominiums, townhomes, outparcels, etc.) that will be sold to another entity. If the applicant is a
homeowners' association, use Form HOA 02/03. If the applicant is a developer, use Form DEV 02/03. EVEN IF
THE PROJECT WILL BE TURNED OVER TO A MUNICIPALITY, FORM DEV 02/03 IS REQUIRED.
❑ V. Flow Acceptance Letters — If the owner of the downstream sewers and/or WWTF is different from the applicant,
submit two copies of a flow acceptance letter from the owner of the downstream sewers and WWTF, if different.
Flow acceptance letters must contain the following minimum information: applicant and project name, amount of
flow accepted, and name and permit number of the receiving sewers/WWTF. The flow acceptance must not
expire prior to permit issuance and must be dated less than a year prior to the application date.
Intergovernmental agreements or other contracts will not be accepted in lieu of a project-specific flow acceptance
letter.
®VI. Map— Submit an 8.5-inch by 11-inch COLOR copy of the portion of a 7.5-minute USGS Topographic Map along
with this form. The map should identify the entire project area location as well as the closest downslope surface
waters as clearly as possible. Each map portion must be labeled with the map name and number, the identified
location of the sewer line and pump stations, and be of clear and reproducible quality. 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
• 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)).
• 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/ndpu or by contacting the appropriate regional
office.

Please find enclosed one signed original and one copy of a completed Fast-Track
application form (FTA 02/03), and a c - inthe amoimt-afm�for the application fee. Also
enclosed is a portion of a color quad map with the project area noted.
This project will include the replacement of an existing sewer line in two separate
locations in Robbinsville with a newer and larger sewer line in order to alleviate problems
with surcharging, overflows and infiltration problems. Also included is replacement of the
existing pumps at the WWTP with new pumps in the same location and pump station. No
additional flow will result from this project.
Please review the enclosed information and contact our office if you have any questions
on the project. If you require additional information, please contact Mike Apke or myself at

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.

when needed).
♦ If the PE seal number does not show up on the web site database, call the PE Board for
verification [phone].
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 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
✓ 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 WQ00XXXXX.doc in a folder on your office shared drive or
