10. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall verbally report to a Division of Water Quality employee at the Mooresville
Regional Office, telephone number [phone], 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

future enforcement actions should a discharge of wastewater occur at the pump station.
Futhermore, it is strongly recommended that telemetry be installed as well as a portable generator
receptacle.
Permit issued this the 23rd day of March, 2004.

SUBJECT: THE RESIDENCE AT BRAEMAR
FLOW ACCEPTANCE
Dear Mr. Ellinwood:
In response to your request a study of the subject site has been completed and the following has been determined:
Upon completion and acceptance of all necessary sewer lines, Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities agrees to accept the
sewage flow of 21,600 gallons per day (160 units at 135 GPD/home) from this project for transmission to McAlpine Creek
Wastewater Treatment Plant, NPDES permit number NC0024970, for treatment_ This acceptance of flow is based on
the existing capacity of the designated publicly owned treatments works, and contingent upon final acceptance and
ISSUANCE OF A DISCHARGE PERMIT from the appropriate local, State, or Federal Agency, whichever might have
control. Connection to the C-MUD system is accepted or a FIRST -COME, FIRST -SERVED basis, as capacity for future
projects cannot be guaranteed.
Upon completion and acceptance of all necessary water mains, Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities agrees to furnish water
to the subject site. Currently, an adequate supply of water for domestic use during peak demand times is available to
serve the subject site. While water quality to the subject project is regulated by the Safe Drinking Water Act Amendments
of 1986, C-MUD cannot guarantee a constant pressure or quality of flow. This agreement is also contingent upon
approval by the Division of Environment, Health and Natural Resources.
Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utilities does not expect any of the above conditions preclude water or sewer service to the
subject site. However, the applicant should understand that due to the involvement of other agencies and continuing
growth of the water and sewer system, the ability to provide service for future projects cannot be guaranteed nor
reserved.

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

future enforcement actions should a discharge of wastewater occur at the pump station.
Futhermore, it is strongly recommended that telemetry be installed as well as a portable generator
receptacle.
