Subject: Delegated Local Permit Program for Sewer Extensions (Audit Findings)
Public Works Commission of the City of Fayetteville (PWC Fayetteville)
Dear Mr. Glass:
On April 23rd, 2014, I conducted an audit of the PWC Fayetteville's delegated sewer system permitting
program. The onsite meeting was performed in conjunction with a document review performed prior to
the meeting.
Attached to this letter are the findings from the audit. Note that as a condition of approval and 15A NCAC
02T.0306(b)(5), PWC Fayetteville is required to incorporate any amendment to the requirements of statues,
regulations, or sewer minimum design criteria pertaining to the local sewer extension permitting program
within sixty days of the effective date of the amendments.
Within 60 days of receiving this letter, please provide all update documents in duplicate to my attention at
the address at the bottom of this page.
If more time is required, please contact this office, however it is imperative and a condition of delegation
approval that these amendments be incorporated into the current program and apply to all projects
currently under review. Along with the updates requested with this letter, please continue to supply the
Central and Regional offices with quarterly reports summarizing any permitting actions.
If you have any questions regarding this matter please contact Michael Leggett at [phone] or via
email at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
Michael Leggett, PE - Engineer

PWC Fayetteville
Delegated Program Audit Findings
I. General Comments
1. Attached to this letter is the letter of approval delegating authority for sewer extensions to PWC
Fayetteville. The approval letter references collection systems that will continue to be permitted by the
Division which includes low pressure sewer systems (any alternative sewer systems not referenced in
the minimum design criteria). During the onsite evaluation, there was discussion related to the types of
collection systems that PWC Fayetteville could issue under their delegated program. Should PWC
Fayetteville have any questions in regards to the permitting authority, please contact our office to
discuss.
II. Application
1. The application page references a variety of information that is out of date. In particular:
• Form FTSE 10/07 has been updated recently by the Division
• Form WSCAS 12/07 has been updated recently by the Division
• Section X refers Environmental Assessments to the Design Management Unit. Note that the
Design Management Unit no longer exists. Any projects that are not under the delegated
permitting authority (see approval letter) should be forwarded to the Division
• Section 8 of the application references "NCDWQ", this should be "NCDWR"
• Section 13 of the application does not reference the Minimum Design Criteria for Pump Station
and Force mains. It is also unclear that if a variance is requested (for the MDC or 15A NCAC 2T)
then the variance must be approved by the Division
III. PWC Fayetteville Minimum Design Standards
1. As was discussed during the onsite evaluation, the minimum design standards provided during the
audit process contain items that have not been updated. In particular:
• References to NCDWQ per page 1.12 (should be NCDWR)
• References to Subchapter 2H per page 2.1 (should be Subchapter 2T)
• References to 15A NCAC 2H .0219(1) per page 2.2 (should be 15A NCAC 02T .0114)
• Page 2.13 & 2.14 requires manholes to be set 1 foot about the 100 year flood elevation. This is
less stringent then the MDC requirement of 24-inches above the 100-year flood elevation (MDC
IV.F)
• Page 2.16 doesn't reference the minimum 50 foot separation required for wetlands as
referenced in 15A NCAC 02T.0305(f). The Division allows alternatives where separations
cannot be meet, however the rule does not address manholes or pump stations within the 50
foot separation. As a result, the Division has implemented draft language related to these
situations (see attached design criteria)
• Page 2.19 references a minimum of 12-inch separation between storm sewer and sanitary
sewer. This is less stringent then the separation requirement of 24-inch referenced in 15A
NCAC 02T.0305(f)
• Page 2.21 contains number references to 15A NCAC 2H (should refer to 15A NCAC 02T)
Please Revise. Note that this list is not all inclusive, and there may be other elements that require
updates. The 2T rules and Minimum Design Criteria can be found at:

NC Division of Water Quality
August 2008
Alternative Design Criteria for Minimum Separation for Sewer Systems to
Wetlands
15A NCAC 2T .0305(f)
Rule 15A NCAC 2T .0305 provides design criteria for sewer line extensions including required
separation distances. The rule requires that sewer systems be located at least 50 feet away from
all wetlands and provides alternative criteria for instances when the setback cannot be
maintained. The following provisions are relevant to this policy:
(f) The following minimum separations shall be provided for the sewer system
except as allowed by Paragraph (g) of this Rule:
Waters classified WS (except WS-I or WS-V), B, SA, ORW,
HQW, or SB from normal high water (or tide elevation) and
wetlands ... 50 feet
(g) Alternatives where separations in Paragraph (f) of this Rule cannot be
achieved.
(5) For all other separations, materials, testing methods and
acceptability standards meeting water main standards (15A NCAC
18C) shall be specified.
While the rule provides alternatives for piping material when the separation to wetlands cannot
be met, the rule does not address manholes and pump stations. In accordance with the provision
for alternative design covered under 15A NCAC 2T .0105(n), adherence to the following criteria
shall be considered equivalent to the Rule .0305(f):
A. Sewer systems shall be designed to maintain maximum feasible separations when a 50
foot separation cannot be met.
B. With regards to pump stations serving a single building:
1. Pump stations shall be of a type specifically engineered to be watertight in
floodplain conditions including watertight lids.
2. Wet wells shall be constructed of either high density polyethylene or fiberglass
reinforced polyester resins with all seams thermally welded and factory tested for
leak tightness.
3. All necessary penetrations shall be factory sealed and tested. No field
penetrations will be allowed.
4. The pump station shall be located no further than 50 feet from the building served
and shall be vented back to the building.
