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; and 3) the Division's Minimum Design
