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.

PLANNING ASSESSMENT ADDENDUM (PAA)
Submit a planning assessment addendum for each pump station listed in Section 11 where Available Capacity is <
0.
Pump Station (Name or Number):
Given that:
a. The proportion and amount of Obligated, Not Yet Tributary Daily Flow (C) accounts for
100 % and 0.472 MGD of the Available Capacity (E) in Pump Station
122 ; and that
b. The rate of activation of this obligated, not yet tributary capacity is currently approximately
N/A MGD per year; and that
c. A funded Capital Project that will provide the required planned capacity, namely
PS 122 Upgrades _ is in design or under construction with
planned completion in 2022 ; and/or
d. The following applies:
There is a funded and active construction project completing the installation of RiverLights
Pump Station 2, in addition to the necessary upgrades at Pump Station 122. These upgrades
will serve full build out of both sewer shed basins.
Therefore:
Given reasonably expected conditions and planning information, there is sufficient justification to allow
this flow to be permitted, without a significant likelihood of over -allocating capacity in the system
infrastructure.
I understand that this does not relieve the collection system owner from complying with G.S. 143-
215.67(a) which prohibits the introduction of any waste in excess of the capacity of the waste disposal
system.

FTA Narrative
RiverLights Development
Conventional Phase 5 & 6
Wilmington, New Hanover County
September 2021
NNP IV — Cape Fear River, LLC is proposing to develop a 1,329.4 acre tract of land along River
Road. In this phase of development (Conventional Phase 5 & 6), NNP-IV Cape Fear River, LLC
is proposing to construct 327 single family units within the development. The nature of this
FTA submittal is to permit a public system consisting of gravity sewer to service the proposed
development.
NNP IV — Cape Fear River, LLC will install the gravity sewer. The Cape Fear Public Utility
Authority (CFPUA) will own and maintain the system as well as accept the sewer flow (117,720
GPD) from the subdivision into Pump Station 1 (PSI). PSI will convey flows to the Barnards
Creek Pump Station (owned and operated by CFPUA) which ultimately conveys flow to the
M'Kean Maffitt Southside Wastewater Treatment Plant. PSI (WQ0038060) is located to the
south of the Conventional Phase 1 subdivision. Flows will be gravity fed into PSI and will be
pumped out through a series of 8" and 12" force mains.
8" PVC gravity sewer will be installed throughout the proposed Conventional Phase 5 & 6
project, which will provide public sewer access for the 327 residential units. PSI is also designed
to handle additional flows from previously permitted and future development.
This new gravity system is designed in accordance with the NCDENR minimum design criteria.
Appropriate horizontal and vertical clearances will be provided when proximal to the proposed
storm drainage system and the proposed water system. The gravity sewer will be certified in
accordance with state regulations and the permit conditions.
