Dear Mr, Bean:
In accordance with your application received September 18, 1998, we are forwarding herewith Permit No,
WQ0015919 dated April 1, 1999, to the Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utility Department for the construction and operation of
the subject wastewater collection extension.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until rescinded, and shall be subject to the conditions and
limitations as specified therein. Please note that the requirement to maintain an inventory of pumps has been removed
and is not required, even if included in recent low-pressure sewer system permits. However, the agreement allowing
CMUD to be responsible for the pressure sewer only is based upon the maintenance of a strong relationship between
CMUD, the Mecklenburg County Building Standards Department, MCDEP, and the local health department. CMUD's
failure to maintain a close working relationship with other local agencies may result in rescission of the agreement. The
Division of Water Quality (Division) would like to review CMUD's relationship with the aforementioned agencies and
reevaluate the existing agreement in the near future.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to request
an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of this permit. This request must be in the
fonn of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer 27447, Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall
be final and binding.
One set of approved plans and specifications is being forwarded to you. If you ed additional information
concerning this matter, please contact Ms. Joni Cardin at [phone] extension 5
