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 TO
City of Clinton
Sampson County
FOR THE
construction and continued operation of a pumping station to serve the Sir Clinton Apartments and the discharge
of 15,840 GPD of collected domestic wastewater into the City of Clinton's existing sewerage system, pursuant to
the application received January 11, 1999, and in conformity with the project plans, specifications, and other
supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and
considered a part of this permit. The pumping station replacement work shall consist of converting the existing
four -foot diameter pumping station wet well into a junction manhole, installing a new six-foot diameter pumping
station wet well, and providing the necessary eight -inch gravity sewer and four -inch force main to make a
continuous system between the pumping station replacement and the existing sewer systems. The pumping
station replacement will make use of approximately 1,750 linear feet of existing four -inch force main to convey
the collected wastewater to the outfall location. The pumping station replacement work shall also consist of
installation of an area light, security fencing, an all-weather roadway, water service with yard hydrant and double
check valve, duplex 100-GPM pumps with on -site audible and visual high water alarms, an autodialer, a
receptacle for hook-up of a emergency power generator, valve vault, and all other related appurtenances.
This permit shall rescind any known or unknown approvals that may exist for the subject facility, shall be
effective from the date of issuance until rescinded, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
This permit shall become voidable unless the facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions of
this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting data.
2. This permit is effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in the application
and other supporting data.
3. The facilities must be properly maintained and operated at all times.
4. The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the City of Clinton's Larkin
Wastewater Treatment Plant (NPDES Permit No. NC0020117) prior to being discharged into the receiving
stream.

This permit is not transferable. In the event there is a desire for the facilities to change ownership, or there
is a name change of the Permittee, a formal permit request must be submitted to the Division of Water
Quality (Division) accompanied by an application fee, documentation from the parties involved, and other
supporting materials as may be appropriate. The approval of this request will be considered on its merits
and may or may not be approved.
6. Construction of the sewers, pump station(s) and force main shall be scheduled so as not to interrupt service
by the existing utilities nor result in an overflow or bypass discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of
the State.
Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification and the
record drawings must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted facility has
been installed in accordance with this permit, the approved plans and specifications, and other supporting
materials. If this project is to be completed in phases and partially certified, you shall retain the
responsibility to track further construction approved under the same permit, and shall provide a final
certificate of completion once the entire project has been completed. Mail the Certification and one copy of
the "Record Drawings" to the Non -Discharge Permitting Unit, P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, NC 27626-0535.
8. A copy of the approved plans and specifications shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for a minimum
of five years from the date of the completion of construction.
9. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit may subject the Permittee to an
enforcement action by the Division, in accordance with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-
215.6C.
10. 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.
11. The Permittee shall provide for the pump station and force main the following items:
a. Pump on/off elevations located so that between two and eight pumping cycles may be achieved per
hour in the pump station,
b. An air relief valve located at all high points along the force main,
c. A screened vent for the wet well,
d. Fillets located in the wet well at the intersection of the flooring and sidewalls,
e. Three feet of cover (minimum) over the force main or the use of ferrous material where three feet
cannot be maintained,
f. Sufficient devices which will protect the pump station from vandals, and
g. Flood protection if the pump station is located below the 100-year flood elevation.
12. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the
Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this Division, such
as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater collection facilities.

13. NONCOMPLIANCE NOTIFICATION:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Fayetteville Regional Office, telephone number (910) 486-
1541, as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following the
