Please find enclosed for the referenced project the original Fast -Track Sewer System
Extension Application (including NC Secretary of State verification), the original Flow
Tracking/Acceptance for Sewer Extension Permit Applications, the USGS Topographic Map
and Street level Map (aerial), the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity, the Flow
Reduction approval letter, and one copy of each for your review and approval. Also attached
is the application fee of $480.00 (Thomas Engineering, PA check # 15020).
This application is for the construction and operation upon certification of a 143 gallons per
minute sewer pump station, approximately 3243 linear feet of 4-inch sewer force -main,
approximately 9354 linear feet of 8-inch gravity sewer, and service connections to serve 173

III. Certification Statement:
I Randy Hoffer, Regional Manager certify to the best of my knowledge that the addition of
the volume of wastewater to be permitted in this project has been evaluated along the route to the
receiving wastewater treatment facility and that the flow from this project is not anticipated to
cause any capacity related sanitary sewer overflows or overburden any downstream pump station
en route to the receiving treatment plant under normal circumstances, given the implementation
of the planned improvements identified in the planning assessment where applicable. This
analysis has been performed in accordance with local established policies and procedures using
the best available data. This certification applies to those items listed above in Sections I and II
plus all attached planning assessment addendums for which I am the responsible party.
Signature of this form indicates acceptance of this wastewater flow.
