Subject: Permit No. WQ0016332
City of Lumberton
Lackey Street Shopping Center
Wastewater Collection System
Robeson County
In accordance with your application received January 11, 1999, attached is Permit No.
WQ0016332, dated April 23, 1999, to the City of Lumberton for the construction and operation of the
subject wastewater collection extension.
No flow shall be made tributary to this collection system until flow from Southwest Service
Area has been rerouted around the pump station, which serves the downtown area. Hydraulic
surcharging, created by rerouting of flow, results in non-compliance with the City of Lumberton's
NPDES Permit requirements and will be grounds for not allowing any flow to be made tributary to
this collection system. A permit modification must be applied for and granted before flow is made
tributary.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until rescinded and you shall be
subject to the conditions and limitations as specified in the North Carolina Gravity Sewer Design
Criteria adopted February 12, 1996 and the attached permit.
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North
Carolina as amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations, permission is hereby
granted for the construction and operation of approximately 950 linear feet of 12-inch gravity sewer
and 5,450 linear feet of 8-inch gravity sewer to serve the Lackey Street Shopping Center project, and
the discharge of 0 GPD of collected domestic wastewater into the City of Lumberton's existing
sewerage system, pursuant to the application received January 11, 1999, and in conformity with the
North Carolina Gravity Sewer Design Criteria.
The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the Lumberton
Wastewater Treatment Facility (NPDES Permit No. NC0024571) prior to being discharged into the
receiving stream.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have
the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following

150B of North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings�P.O.
Drawer 27447, Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final
and binding.
The issuance of this permit does not preclude the Permittee from complying with any and all
statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be imposed by other government agencies
(local, state, and federal) which have jurisdiction.
If you need additional information concerning this matter, please contact Jan Arnold at

6. Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification
and a copy of the record drawings (i.e., as constructed plans) must be received from a
professional engineer certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in accordance with

action by the Division, in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-
215.6C.

9. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance

required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater
collection facilities.
10. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Fayetteville Regional Office, telephone number
[phone], as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next working
day, following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of either of the following:
a. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the facility
incapable of adequate wastewater transport, such as mechanical or electrical failures of
pumps, line blockage or breakage, etc.; or
b. Any failure of a sewer line resulting in a by-pass directly to receiving waters without
treatment of all or any portion of the influent to such station or facility.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter form
within five (5) days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline the
actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
