Dear Mr. Schuh:
Staff of the Asheville Regional Office has reviewed the information, which you provided
to us, regarding the Clay County Water and Sewer District waste water flow allocations. While
we have no objections to reallocating flow from some of the un-built projects so you can
accommodate the proposed connection of the Jackrabbit Campground and Truitt Baptist Camp, it
is a concern that the WWTP over allocated on paper. As a means to prevent further over
allocation, it is the intent of this Office to not issue any additional collection system permits until
the time that Clay County Water & Sewer convinces DWQ that the problem has been adequately
addressed.
Possible ways to alleviate this issue would be to expedite the planned expansion of the
WWTP, or to further reallocate all currently permitted gravity sewer systems which have not
been completed, or those which have no plans for further development in the near future.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Keith
Haynes or me at 828-296-4500.
Sincerely,
Roger C. Edwards, Regional Supervisor

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

,nlems Noted: A flow acceptance letter is provided by the receiving WWTP owner but
„e downstream sewer owner, which both are different from the applicant. Example, private
veloper 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 r domestic in na re?
1 ♦ Most projects 'I be for wa r that is domestic in nature, however, if Item B.6 indicates
that the wastewater is industrial in nature, notify the Regional Office Pretreatment
Coordinator or the WQ Pretreatment Unit Central Office to determine if a pretreatment permit
i -needed or if a program already in place and compliant.
Flow volume calculated correctly? 2H .0219(/)
♦ 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 fora 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.
k___---Adequate information provided regarding the proposed gravity sewer and/or force main (if
applicable)?
Note 1: An Environmental Assessment may be required if there are 3 miles of gravity sewer over
18-inches in diameter (15A NCAC 1C .0100). Environmental Assessment projects can NOT go
Fast -Track!
Main Problems Noted: A public entity specifies 6-inch line when 8-inch is required; 4-inch line is
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

♦ 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 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.

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

Reviewer/Supervisor determines that an application package should be denied because it can
,.ot'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.
o The Reviewer should use the Application Denial Letter template to prepare a denial package for the
Supervisor's review and submittal to the Director for signature. The letter should not be dated, but
instead will be dated after the Director signs it. A memo to the Director should be attached to the top
of the denial package summarizing the reasons for denial. This package must be singed off on by the
reviewer, supervisor, Section Chief, and Director. Distribute the letter as directed in "Issuing a
Permit" below,
Issuing a Permit
♦ Permits should be signed only by those delegated to sign for the Director.
♦ Permits should be distributed as follows (include the signed Operational Agreement with the
permit and all distribution copies if applicable!):
✓ Original to the Permittee
✓ Copy to the consulting engineer
• Copy to the county health department
✓ Copy to the Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Protection for all projects located
in Mecklenburg County
✓ Copy(ies) to the owner of the WWTF and owner of the downstream sewers (if different than the
Permittee)
✓ Electronic Copy and Hard Copy to the PERCS for our files
✓ Copy to Central Files (attach application package and any supporting documents with a staple —
do not include any plans unless they are small and can be folded up into an 8.5" x 11" sheet)
✓ Save an electronic version named 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 RIMS 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 mid
criteria or outside of the permit. For instance, minimum cover; slope-, minimum separate
line size changes -,length; reroutes; additional lots than permitted; pump station alarms; pum
times; no indication of record drawing (as-builts) on plans; no PE seal or note about record draw`
(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.

gar in Knightdale. Both Knightdale and Raleigh would need to provide a flow acceptance
.cep as Knightdale will transport the wastewater and Raleigh will treat the wastewater.
' `.,--wastewater industrial or6EDr
re?
Most projects will be 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)
♦ 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 1001ots are to be developed,
ensure that there are 100 lots, and not 150 lots, shown on the plans. Plans are only required
for review if the applicant is requesting a variance to the MDC or the .0200's.
♦ Do not allocate "future" wastewater flows (i.e., that based on speculative development).
These would be permitted in future wastewater collection system extensions. Although, we
do allocate "unknown" flows on a per acre basis for industrial/commercial park applications.
Generally, the Division has accepted between 900 gpd/acre — 1500 gpd/acre. Let the
engineer support his calculation.
'"Adequate information provided regarding the proposed gravity sewer and/or force main (if
applicable)?

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

FAST -TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003 (Rev 2106)

,ewer/Supervisor determines that an application package should be denied because it can
eet NC Statutes, rules or regulations, then a denial letter should be drafted. Special attention
should be paid to the statutory deadline for permitting. If it is thought that a project might be
denied, it is important to review it and draft the denial letter as soon as possible. There must
be time allowed for the denial letter to be sent up to the Director and signed prior to the
statutory date.
♦ The Reviewer should use the Application Denial Letter template to prepare a denial package for the
Supervisor's review and submittal to the Director for signature. The letter should not be dated, but
instead will be dated after the Director signs it. A memo to the Director should be attached to the top
of the denial package summarizing the reasons for denial. This package must be singed off on by the
reviewer, supervisor, Section Chief, and Director. Distribute the letter as directed in "Issuing a
Permit below.
Issuing a Permit
♦ Permits should be signed only by those delegated to sign for the Director.
♦ Permits should be distributed as follows (include the signed Operational Agreement with the
permit and all distribution copies if applicable!):
✓ Original to the Permittee
✓ Copy to the consulting engineer
✓ Copy to the county health department
✓ Copy to the Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Protection for all projects located
in Mecklenburg County
✓ Copy(ies) to the owner of the WWTF and owner of the downstream sewers (if different than the
Permittee)
✓ Electronic Copy and Hard Copy to the PERCS for our files
✓ Copy to Central Files (attach application package and any supporting documents with a staple —
do not include any plans unless they are small and can be folded up into an 8.5" x 11" sheet)
✓ Save an electronic version named 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.

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

♦ If the region wishes to perform a detailed review — look for items not meetin
criteria or outside of the permit. For instance, minimum cover; slope; minimum mum
line size changes; length; reroutes; additional lots than permitted; pump station alarm ,
times; no indication of record drawing (as-builts) on plans; no PE seal or note about recor
(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.

The application for the subject permit had an error on page 3, section 2a. where Robert Jones
was mistakenly placed instead of River Walk (Tighe White). Attached is a corrected application, the only
change being River Walk (Tighe White) being placed in section 2a., replacing Robert Jones. The permit
should be issued as the River Walk (Tighe White) Project. Everything else in the application is correct.

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

roblems Noted: A flow acceptance letter is provided by the receiving WWTP owner but
.cthe 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 industrial domestic i nature?
♦ Most projects will b Eater 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.
l.,-- Flow volume calculated correctly? 2H .0219(l)
♦ Ensure that the daily design flow in the application is based on the guidance provided in the
regulations or existing flow, and that the explanation as to how this volume was determined is
very specific (i.e., 22 three -bedroom homes, 50,000 s.f. of retail space, 18 employees, etc).
This information will be included in the description of the system in the permit. Our regs say
120 gpd/bedroom for residential. Note that for one -bedroom the minimum they can use is
240 gpd.
♦ If daily design flow is not based on regulations, ensure that the applicant has an approved
flow reduction of daily design flow rate on file with the Division. A list of approved flow
reductions may be obtained from the DWQ Intranet or by contacting the PERCS. Flow
reduction requests are to be reviewed by the central office, and must be reviewed and
approved before the application is accepted by the regional office for review.
♦ On occasion, there may be an instance where supporting documentation is submitted with
the application for a specific facility. Contact PERCS to determine a course of action.
♦ Ensure that the flows shown on the application match up to what is shown on the plans (if
available for review). For example, if the application states that 100 lots are to be developed,
ensure that there are 100 lots, and not 150 lots, shown on the plans. Plans are only required
for review if the applicant is requesting a variance to the MDC or the .0200's.
♦ Do not allocate "future" wastewater flows (i.e., that based on speculative development).
These would be permitted in future wastewater collection system extensions. Although, we
do allocate "unknown" flows on a per acre basis for industrial/commercial park applications.
Generally, the Division has accepted between 900 gpd/acre -1500 gpd/acre. Let the
c/ 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 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 Fine 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

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 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.

should be paid to the statutory deadline for permitting. If it is thought that a project might be
denied, it is important to review it and draft the denial letter as soon as possible. There must
be time allowed for the denial letter to be sent up to the Director and signed prior to the
statutory date.
♦ The Reviewer should use the Application Denial Letter template to prepare a denial package for the
Supervisor's review and submittal to the Director for signature. The letter should not be dated, but
instead will be dated after the Director signs it. A memo to the _Director should be attached to the top
of the denial package summarizing the reasons for denial. ,This package must be singed off on by the
reviewer, supervisor, Section Chief, and Director. Distribute the letter as directed in "Issuing a
Permit" below.
Issuing a Permit
♦ Permits should be signed only by those delegated to sign for the Director.
♦ Permits should be distributed as follows (include the signed Operational Agreement with the
permit and all distribution copies if applicable!):
✓ Original to the Permittee
✓ Copy to the consulting engineer
✓ Copy to the county health department
✓ Copy to the Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Protection for all projects located
in Mecklenburg County
✓ Copy(ies) to the owner of the WWTF and owner of the downstream sewers (if different than the
Permittee)
✓ Electronic Copy and Hard Copy to the PERCS for our files
✓ Copy to Central Files (attach application package and any supporting documents with a staple —
do not include any plans unless they are small and can be folded up into an 8.5" x 11" sheet)
✓ Save an electronic version named 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.

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

♦ If the region wishes to performa detailed review — look for items not meeting the mini
criteria or outside of the permit. For instance, minimum cover; slope; minimum separation
line size changes; length; reroutes; additional lots than permitted; pump station alarms; pump c
times; no indication of record drawing (as-builts) on plans; no PE seal or note about record drawmc
(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.

SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENT CALCULATION;
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project, located in Clay County near Hayesville, NC, consists of the design and construction
of approximately 230 LF of 1.5" diameter HDPE sanitary sewer force main including one I
prefabricated duplex grinder sewer pump lift station. The original project as permitted with 145
LF of 1.5" diameter forcemain. It was decided to re-route the forcemain along a more accessible
path resulting in an increase of about 85 LF or 230 LF total. Furthermore, due to economic reasons, a
different pump manufacturer was used for the project. Both of these factors contributedd, to.a, change, nthe
operating point from 35 GPM @ 56 TDH per the permit to 30 GPM @ 58 TD`1-f as constfuCted.-The-project
was a design/build venture between Stillwell Engineering and Stillwell Enteeprises, Inc. "The
design basis of the proposed facilities is based upon the estimated flows c

Ill. PUMP, FORCE MAIN DESIGN, AND WETWELL DESIGN
A. PUMPS AND FORCEMAIN
1. The peaking factor to be used for the design of pumps and the force main will be 3.0.
This peaking factor was selected due to the variable use expected.
Qpump(min) = 3.0'" 1,725 GPD = 5175 GPD / 1440 = 4 gpm
2. Forcemain constructed of 1.5" diameter HDPE piping producing the following friction
loss equation:
Hf = Pipe Length (L=230') X (4.73 X Flow (Q)1.85) / (C (130) "' X Pipe diameter (D =
1.5") 4. 7
3. Static head:
At the existing Forcemain tie-in location, the elevation is at approximately 1837' pressure
head conditions are estimated at 50 feet or at 1887' based on elevations . This number
is based upon Clay County Water and Sewer Authority As -Built plans for the existing 8"
forcemain the project ties to. This head is not expected to vary significantly during
operation of the existing Lift Station(s) that contribute to the hydraulic characteristics of
the existing line. However, the Applicant and the Sewer Authority have been advised that
additional pumping stations or modification of the existing 8" line, significantly affecting
hydraulic conditions, may require adjustments for this permitted system.
Pump elevation of lift station: Approx. 1849'
Static head required for discharge: 1887' —1849' = 38' + 10' (minor losses from lift
station, backflow prevention assembly and valve) = 48',

4. System curve:
The friction formula from 2. and static head from 3. yield the following system curve:

5. Operating Point:
Based upon attached manufacturer's curve for selected pumps, and field testing, the
operating point is approximately at 30 gpm cG@ 58 TDH. Please note that there is a slight
difference in the permitted operating point of 35 gpm @ 55 TDH. This is primarily due to
a difference in pump manufacturers than what was estimated at the time of the permit.
B. WET WELL
1. ACTIVE STORAGE VOLUME
V=T*Qddf*(1 -Qddf/Q)
Where Qddf= Daily Design Flow = 1,725 / 1440 = 1.2 gpm and Q = pumping rate of single
pump = 30 gpm
For T = 30 min (minimum 2 cycles per hour)
V = 30 min * 1.2 gpm * (1 —1.2 gpm / 30 gpm) = 35 gallons = Min. Storage Vol.
For T = 7.5 min (maximum 8 cycles per hour)
V = 7.5 min * 1.2 gpm * (1 —1.2 gpm / 30 gpm) = 8.64 gallons = Min. Storage Vol.
2. Active Storage Pump Control Depths
For Wetwell Dia. = 3.0', Surface area = 7.07 SF or CF / FT of depth
Max. Active Storage Depth: 35 Gallons = 4.68 cubic feet / 7.07 CF / FT = .66 FT

Min. Active Storage Depth: 8.64 Gallons = 1.16 cubic feet / 7.07 CF / FT = .16 FT
Minimum Depth Required by Pump Manufacturer from Bottom of Wet Well for Pump
submergence: Approximately 1.0 FT
Therefore Pump OFF Elevation at minimum 1 foot from bottom of wetwell and Lead
Pump ON Elevation between 1.2' and 1.7' above wetwell bottom.
3. Emergency Storage Volume for flow expected to become tributary for a period of 1
hour response time:
1.2 gpm X 60 min. = 72 Gallons or 9.63 cubic feet. Depth required for emergency
storage above pump on elevation:
9.63 CIF / 7.07 CIF / FT = 1.36'
Minimum required depth of wet well assuming 30 min cycle time:
1' Manufacturer above bottom + 0.7' Active Volume + 1.36' emergency storage = 3.06'
E. FLOTATION CALCULATIONS:
Maximum Buoyancy Force: = 3' Dia. Wet Well X 6' depth = = 7.065 sf X 6' = 42.39 ft3 X
62.4 lb / ft3 = 2,645 lb
Extended Base Calculation:
Assume weight of fiberglass basin is negligible.
Density of saturated soil above extended base force: 150 lb ! ft3
Aeb = Area Extended Base = rr X D lb 2(Diameter of Extended Base)/4
2,645 lb = (Afb — 7.065 sf)ZX 6 ft X 150 lb / ft3
Alb = 10.00ft = (rr X D lb )/4 D eb = 3.56 ft = 4.0 ft
4 ft diameter concrete base, 6 in thick. Concrete density = 145 lb / ft3. Wt of concrete
base= ((1r X4 ft ) / 4 ) X .5 ft X 145 lb / ft3 = 910.6 lb
Factor of Safety: = (2,645 lb + 910.6 lb) / 2,645 lb =1.34

INSTRUCTIONS: Indicate that you have included the following list of requireq, 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 maybe photocopied for use as an original.
01. 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).
® 11. 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.

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.
Ul Adequate information provided regarding the proposed gravity sewer and/or force main (if
applicable)?
Note: An Environmental Assessment may be required if there are 3 miles of gravity sewer and
the design capacity is 1 MGD or greater (15A NCAC 1 C .0100). Note that this criteria is currently
un evision. Environmental Assessment projects can NOT go Fast -Track!
Adequate information provided regarding the proposed pump station(s) (if applicable)?
Note: An Environr-bental Assessment may be required if the pump station(s) have a design
capacity greater than 1 MGD or greater (15A NCAC 1 C .0100). If there are any questions about
whether an EA may be required, discuss with your supervisor or contact Todd Kennedy of the
Planning Branch's Local Government Assistance Unit.
♦ Power reliability at the pump station provided in accordance with Section 5.04 of the
Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains
document (i.e dual linefeed, portable generator w/telemetry, permanent generator with
automatic transfer switch, wet well storage if near Class C waters)?
L� Project designed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0200, the Gravity Sewer Minimum Design
Criteria and the Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and
Force Mains document (as applicable)? If NO, forward one copy of the supporting documents to
the Central Office for review indicating the Permit number, owner and Proiect 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

y Adequ,ate information provided for the engineer/engineering firm?
v PE with active license in North Carolina? 2H .0205(d)(1)(A)(iii) or 2H .0203(28)
Ensure that ALL pertinent P.E.s have active licenses by checking the NC Professional
Engineer's Board web site (www.ncbels.org - the PE number must be six digits, use leading 0
when needed).
♦ If the PE sear 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
o 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
