Permit No. WQ0022859 dated February 21, 2007, to the Eastover Sanitary District for the continued
operation of the subject wastewater collection system extension. The Eastover Approach main is currently
permitted for 1,000,000.00 GPD and currently using less than 100,000.00 GPD. The three pump stations

does not meet 15A NCAC 2H .0200; the Division of Water Quality's (Division) Gravity Sewer
Minimum Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996 as applicable; 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 therein. Division approval is based on acceptance
of the certification provided by the North Carolina -licensed Professional Engineer named in the

WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM EXTENSION PERMIT
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until rescinded and shall be subject to the
following specified conditions and limitations:
1. This permit shall become voidable unless the wastewater collection facilities are constructed in
accordance with the conditions of this permit; 15A NCAC 2H .0200; the Division of Water Quality's
(Division) Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996 as applicable; the
Division's Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force

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
Permittee shall maintain compliance with an individual system -wide collection system permit for the
operation and maintenance of these facilities as required by 15A NCAC 2H .0227. If an individual
permit is not required, the following performance criteria shall be met as provided in 15A NCAC 2H
.0227:
a. The sewer system shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times to prevent discharge

facilities to change ownership, or there is a name change of the Permittee, a formal permit request
shall be submitted to the Division accompanied by documentation from the parties involved, and
other supporting materials as may be appropriate. The approval of this request shall be considered on
its merits and may or may not be approved.
5. Construction of the gravity sewers, pump stations, and force mains 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.
6. Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of these permitted facilities, a certification, a
copy of the construction record drawings, as well as supporting design calculations for any pump
stations permitted as part of this project shall be received from a North Carolina -licensed Professional
Engineer certifying that the facilities have been installed in accordance with this permit; 15A NCAC
2H .0200; the Division's Gravity Sewer Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996 as applicable; the
Division's Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Station and Force Main
adopted June 1, 2000 as applicable; 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. A copy of the construction record drawings, indicating the facilities
constructed in the phase being certified, shall be submitted with each partial certification. Mail the
Engineer's Certification, one copy of the "Construction Record Drawings," and one copy of the
supporting design calculations to the Fayetteville Regional Office, 225 Green Street — Suite 714,

Division's Gravity Sewer Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996 as applicable; the Division's
Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Station and Force Mains adopted
June 1, 2000 as applicable; and other supporting materials may subject the Permittee to an
enforcement action by the Division, in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes § 143-
215.6A through §143-215.6C.
9. In the event that the wastewater collection 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 facilities.
10. The issuance of this permit shall not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes,
rules, regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (local, state and
federal) which have jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable river buffer rules in 15A
NCAC 2B .0200, erosion and sedimentation control requirements in 15A NCAC Ch. 4 and under the
Division's General Permit NCG010000, and any requirements pertaining to wetlands under 15A
NCAC 2B .0200 and 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
11. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Fayetteville Regional Office, telephone number (910)
433-3300, as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day,
following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of either of the following:
a. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the facility incapable of
adequate wastewater transport, such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, line blockage
or breakage, etc.; or
b. Any failure of a pumping station or sewer line resulting in a by-pass directly to receiving waters
without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to such station or facility.
Voice mail messages or faxed information is permissible but shall not be considered as the initial
verbal report. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours may also be reported
to the Division of Emergency Management at telephone number (800) 858-0368 or (919) 733-
3300. Persons reporting any of the above occurrences shall file a spill report by completing Part I
of Form CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form), within five days following first
knowledge of the occurrence. This report shall outline the actions taken or proposed to ensure that
the problem does not recur. Part II of Form CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form)
can also be completed to show that the SSO was beyond control.
12. Variance
PWC/Fayetteville has a long term Operation and Maintenance Contract with the District and has
provided historical information regarding the use of a pump not capable of passing a 3-inch solid as
required by the Division's minimum design criteria. They have further demonstrated the ability to
provide the appropriate maintenance on these pumps to avoid clogging. A variance is granted to
allow a Gorman -Rupp T3 pump handling a 2.5-inch solid, or approved equal, in this project without
additional mechanical pre-screening or macerating equipment. If for any reason this station is not
maintained by PWC/Fayetteville, the Division shall be notified upon which the configuration will
again be evaluated and additional requirements may be mandated.
