I Jay T Meyers, PE _ certify to the best of my knowledge that the addition of
the volume of wastewater to be permitted in this project has been evaluated along the route to the receiving
wastewater treatment facility and that the flow from this project is not anticipated to cause any capacity
related sanitary sewer overflows or overburden any downstream pump station en route to the receiving
treatment plant under normal circumstances, given the implementation of the planned improvements
identified in the planning assessment where applicable. This analysis has been performed in accordance
with local established policies and procedures using the best available data. This certification applies to
those items listed above in Sections I and II plus all attached planning assessment addendums for which I
am the responsible party. Signature of this form certifies that the receiving collection system or treatment
works has adequate capacity to transport and treat the proposed new wastewater.

RE: The Preserves at Holland Subdivision
Sewer Fast Track San tary Sewer Application Cover Letter
To Whom It May Concern,
Enclosed please find documentation, design data, application fee and other resources necessary to
review the Fast Track Application for the public sanitary sewer system of The Preserves at Holland
Subdivision in Fuquay-Varina, NC The development consists of a 50-lot single family home
subdivision. The wastewater generated by this site totals 15,000 GPD. Construction of the sanitary
sewer lines will connect to two existing public sewer ,Ines at the north and west side of the property,
which feed to the North Harnett Regional Waste Water Treatment Plant. The Preserves al Holland
development is located at 820 Holland Road in Fuquay-Varina. The property involved is located within
the Town of Fuquay-Varina, NC planning jurisdiction.
The sanitary sewer system consists of 2991 feet of 8" PVC and 451 feet of DIP gravity service
connecting to existing public gravity main lines. There are twenty-one (211 new manholes to be
installed in the development.
At the completion of construction, the system will be certified by a licensed professional engineer in
accordance with NCDEQ and State and local regulations.
Sincerely,

Flow Reduction Approval
Wake County
On September 10, 2001, the Division of Water Quality Non Discharge Permitting Unit received your
flow reduction request for future and present, but not yet tributary, single-family dwellings in the Town of
Fuquay-Varina. The letter requests approval of a residential flow value of 220 GPD/residence for these
dwellings.
The information provided water use information for 2000 and actual daily waste water flow recordings
for their peak month of May. Other supporting data was provided. The evaluation covered 90 homes that are
representative of the subdivisions in Fuquay-Varina in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0219(1)(3).
Based on the information submitted, the Division hereby approves the use of 75 GPD per bedroom
per dwelling for residential units (225 GPD per three bedroom home) in all applicable non -discharge permit
applications for future sewer line extensions and present, but not yet tributary projects for the Town of Fuquay-
Varina. The Division did note that the average flow per residence in February 2000 was 271 GPD. Regardless
of the adjusted design day wastewater flow rate at no time shall the wastewater flows exceed the effluent
limits defined in the Town's NPDES errnit for the treatment facility or exceed the capacitycgpagity of the sewers
downstream of anynew sewer extension.
Please submit a separate letter to the Raleigh Regional Office that requests now reductions for
Specific previously permitted projects (indicate permit number, project name, permitted flow, new flow
under reduction and the difference between them). If you have any questions or comments regarding this
matter, please contact Marie Doklovic at (919)733-5083 ext. 371.

Condition I.1: An alternative design is granted for the installation of gravity sewer as well as
manholes being located within the 100-ft radius of a nearby private well, in
accordance with 15A NCAC 02T.0105(n). Please see Condition l.1 for more
details
Special Condition Language:
Per the submitted variance request as received on May 19, 2021 by The Curry Engineering
Group, PLLC on behalf of the Town of Fuquay-Varina for the subject project, the Division will
grant the variance request with the following conditions:
• As specified in the provided plans, where the gravity sewer does not meet separation
requirements for private wells; materials, testing methods, and acceptability standards meeting
water main standards (15A NCAC 18C) shall be specified, per 15A NCAC 02T.0305(g).
• Manholes located within the 100-foot radius of existing well (STA 10+00, STA 10+18.77 and STA
11+44.56) shall be designed, constructed, and tested in accordance with the plans, general notes,
and cover letter as submitted to and approved by the Division as part of this variance request.
• The minimum separation for any portion of the sewer system shall not be less than 25 feet from
a private well or 50 feet from a public well.
Regardless of the variance approval, 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.
All other elements of this project shall be constructed in accordance with all applicable rules and
statues including, 15A NCAC 2T; the Division of Water Resources' (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. Approval of the variance request does not constitute approval of the permit.
