Dear Mr, Berry:
In accordance with your application received on September 10, 2004, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No, WQ0023413, dated September 20, 2004, to the City of Hickory for the construction
and operation of the subject wastewater collection system extension. This permit shall be effective from

shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. This cover letter shall be
considered a part of this permit and is therefore incorporated therein by reference. The modification
includes the reduction of sewer line sizes and pump station capacities.
Please pay particular attention to Permit Condition 3 which requires that the wastewater
collection facilities be properly operated and maintained in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0227 or any
individual system -wide collection system permit issued to the Permittee.
Permitting of this project does not constitute an acceptance of any part of the project that does
not meet 1) 15A NCAC 2H .0200; 2) the Division of Water Quality's (Division) Gravity Sewer Minimum
Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996, as applicable; 3) and the Division's Minimum Design
Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains adopted June 1, 2000, as
applicable, unless specifically mentioned herein. Division approval is based on acceptance of the
certification provided by a North Carolina -licensed Professional Engineer in the application. It shall be
the Permittee's responsibility to ensure that the as -constructed project meets the appropriate design
criteria and rules. Failure to comply may result in penalties in accordance with North Carolina General
Statute §143-215.6A through §143-215.6C, construction of additional or replacement wastewater

mentioned herein.
2. This permit shall be effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in the
application and other supporting data.
3. The wastewater collection facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times. The

Subject: Henry River Basin/Hwy 321 Infrastructure Sewer Project
Dear Mr. DePratter:
The Division of Water Quality (Division) has reviewed your letter of I 1 August 2004 regarding modifications
to the subject project. The changes requested by the City of Hickory as ,presented in your letter are as follows:
• 8.7 miles. of 24" through 42" diameter gravity sewer will be changed to 16" through 36".
• 3..4 miles of 24" through 30" diameter force mains will be changed to 20" through 24".
• The Clark Creek pump station peak design flow will. be reduced from 50nagd to 4.82rngd and the
average daily design flow reduced from 2.0mgd to 1.93mgd.
• The Sandy Ford pump station peak design flow will be reduced from 7.5mgd to 6.12mgd and the
average daily design flow reduced from 3.0mdg to 2.5mgd.
• The Clark Creek and Sandy Ford pump stations will be changed to submersible type pumping stations
The Division has concluded that the proposed modifications will not pose a significant change to the
Environmental Assessment and/or Finding of No Significant impact for the City's Henry River Basin/Hwy. 321
Infrastructure Sewer Project. Thus, Hickory will not be required by the Division to amend the document in.
order to submit a permit application.
If there is anything else I can assist you with, please give me a call at 9.1.9.733.5083 ext. 555.
