GPM. No additional flow will be added.
Please pay particular attention to the following conditions contained within this permit:
Condition I1.1: This permit shall not be automatically transferable; a request must be made and
approved.
Condition 11.4:
Requires that the wastewater collection facilities be properly operated and maintained
in accordance with 15A NCAC 2T .0403 or any individual system -wide collection system
permit issued to the Permittee.
It shall be the responsibility of the Permittee 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 collection facilities, and/or referral of the North Carolina -licensed Professional Engineer to
the licensing board.

ns#1 and#11.
This letter is provided for flow acceptance of the wastewater treatment infrastructure (the "System") for
the Rock Creek — Phase I and Phase II Development (the "Project"). Lincoln County (the "County") has
the actual average daily flow capacity at its Killian Creek. Wastewater Treatment Plant to treat the
domestic wastewater as requested, and does conditionally grant approval for the Project, subject,
however, to the terms and conditions below:
1.. The amount of flow requested for Phase I of the Project is for 57 lots with a total flow of
13,680 gallons per day of additional flow at the NCDENR approved reduced flow rate of 240
gallons per day per home into LS-01 and. LS-1 1; and
The amount of flow requested for Phase 11 of the Project is for 73 lots with a total flow of
l 7,520 gallons per day of additional flow at the NCDENR. approved reduced flow rate of 240
gallons per day per home into LS-01 and LS-11; and
The total amount of flow requested for Phase I and Phase II of the Project is for. 130 lots w
a total flow of 31,200 gallons per day of additional flow at the NCDEQ approved reduced
Mow rate of 240 gallons per day per home into LS-01 and LS-1 1; and
4. 1t is Lincoln County understanding that Pump Stations #1 and 41.1 (WQ0410918) are to be
upgraded to accommodate the Clow from Phase I and Phase II of the Rock Creek
Development. At this time only Phase 1 (57 lots) of the Rock Creek Development is being
permitted by NCDEQ and constructed. Phase 11 (73 lots) will be seeking submittal and
approval of a permit by Lincoln County and NCDEQ at a later date; and
5. For the NCDEQ Permits, the receiving sewer treatment facility is the Killian Creek WWTP,
Permit #NC 0088722. The sewer collections facility is the East Lincoln County Water and Sewer
District, Permit #WQCS 00149; and
6. The County shall be named as the Permittee on NCDEQ system applications; and.
7. Final acceptance of the System to the County is subject to the following:

a. A complete final inspection and approval of the System by the County, and receipt of other
applicable documentation requested by the County; and
b. Approval of the System by NCDEQ, and proof provided to the County of a valid permit issued
by NCDEQ with an Authorization to Construct (ATC); and
c. Initiating construction of the Project within two years of the date of this conditional approval.
The Rock Creek Development must notify the Lincoln County Public Works Department in
writing when construction of the Project is initiated; and
d. The County continuing to have actual average daily flow capacity to treat the domestic
wastewater as requested at the time all other conditions precedent have been satisfied.
e. That upgrades and improvements to sewer pump station #01 and sewer pump station # 11 are
complete and fully operational as designed to accommodate the Rock Creek Phase I and Phase II
Development sewer flow prior to any approval, acceptance of any phase of the Rock Creek
Development, and transferal of the Rock Creek Development to the County.
This acceptance and allocation of flow shall only be effective upon compliance with all of the
above terms and conditions and the County providing an acknowledgment that has complied with all of
the above terms and conditions.
Included in this mailing is the Flow Tracking/Acceptance for Sewer Extension Permit
Applications (FTSE — 04/16) with the County's portion completed.

I Donald V. Chamblee, Jr. 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 indicates acceptance of this wastewater flow.
