force mains) of the wastewater collection system extension. Ffnai record drawings should be
clear on the plans or on digital media (CD or DVD disk) and are defined as the design drawings
that are marked up or annotated with after construction information and show required buffers,
separation distances, material changes; etc.
b. One copy of the supporting applicable design calculations including pipe and pump sizing,
velocity, pump cycle times, and level control settings, pump station buoyancy, wet well storage,
surge protection, detention time in the wet well, and force main, ability to flush low points in
force mains with a pump cycle, and downstream sewer capacity analysis. If a portable power
source or pump is dedicated to multiple stations, an evaluation of all the pump stations' storage
capacities and the rotation schedule of the portable power source or pump, including travel
timeframes, shall be provided.
Page 6 of 8
c. Changes to the project that do not result in non-compliance with this permit, regulations, or the
Minimum Design Criteria should be clearly identified on the record drawings, on the certification
in the space provided, or in written summary form.
Prior to Certification (Final or Partial): Permit modifications are required for any changes resulting
In non-compliance with this permit (including pipe length Increases of 10% or greater, increased
flow, pump station design capacity design increases of 5% or greater, and increases in the
number/type of connections), regulations, or the Minimum Design Criteria. Requested
modifications or variances to the Minimum Design Criteria will be reviewed on a case -by -case basis
and each on Its own merit. Please note that variances to the Minimum Design Criteria should be
requested and approved during the permitting process prior to construction. After -construction
requests are discouraged by the Division and may not be approved, thus requiring replacement or
repair prior to certification & activation. [15A NCAC 02T .0116]
8. Gravity sewers installed greater than ten percent below the minimum required slope per the
Division's Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria shall not be acceptable and shall not be certified
until corrected. If there is an unforeseen obstacle In the field where all viable solutions have been
examined, a slope variance can be requested from the Division with firm supporting documentation.
This shall be done through a permit modification with fee. Such variance requests will be evaluated
on a case -by -case basis. Resolution of such request shall be evident prior to completing and

Attached is one original and one copy of a complete 2'� Modified Fast Track Application for
Gravity Sewers, Pump Stations. and Force Mains, which includes the following:
1. Complete Modified Fast Track Application for Gravity Sewers, Pump Stations, and
Forcemains (Form FTA 04-16), signed by Engineer & Town
2. $480.00 Check for Application Fee
3. USGS Quad Map showing approximate site location
4. Street Level Map
5. Copy of existing permit dated 07/0912015
NARRITIVE:
This Modification is to increase the pump flow rate from 160 GPM to 276 GPM. There is ZERO
flow allocated to this permit and ZERO additional flow requested. There is no increase length of pipe
requested.
On March 31, 2010, the original design Engineer was issued a permit where the pumps were
rated at 85 GPM & 80 TDH. Then the original design Engineer submitted for and on July 9, 2015, was
issued a modified permit to increase the pumps to 160 GPM & 73.4 TDH.
During the pump station start up, the pumps actually provided 276 GPM & 57.8 TDH. Since the
pump rate has a capacity increase of greater than 5%, we are requesting a second modified permit to
account for this new information.
The gravity sewer, pump station and force main were installed in 2017. The original design Engineer
submitted a partial certification in February of 2018, which included the outfall gravity sewer. I later
submitted a final certification in March of 2018 to include the pump station and force main.
