be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein. This cover letter shall be considered a
part of this permit and is therefore incorporated therein by reference.
This modification adds 395 feet of 8-inch gravity sewer with 2,500 gallons per day of flow allocation to
serve office space for 100 employees on Commercial Lot 14R. In addition, the existing flows were
analyzed versus previous allocation finding that they were fairly accurate and flows were allocated for
future known and unknown uses on other lots distributing the balance from the previous version.
Please pay particular attention to the following conditions contained within this permit:
Special Conditions:
Condition U: A variance is granted to allow the oversized 10 & 12-inch gravity sewer to remain
installed and placed into operation. All these lines are deemed "High Priority" with the
exemption of the 10-inch line on Hydrangea Court to the intersection of Pine Harvest
Drive & Atrium Way and the 12-inch line from the above intersection to Waterford Pump
Station #2. [15A NCAC 02T .0105(n)]

c. Changes to the project that do not result in non-compliance with this permit, regulations, or the
Minimum Design Criteria should be clearly identified on the record drawings, on the certification
in the space provided, or in written summary form.
Prior to Certification (Final or Partial): Permit modifications are required for any changes resulting in
non-compliance with this permit (including pipe length changes of 10% or greater by type & size,
increased flow, pump station design capacity design increases of 5% or greater, and increases in the
number/type of connections), regulations, or the Minimum Design Criteria. Requested modifications
or variances to the Minimum Design Criteria will be reviewed on a case -by -case basis and each on its
own merit. Please note that variances to the Minimum Design Criteria should be requested and
approved during the permitting process prior to construction. After -construction requests are
discouraged by the Division and may not be approved, thus requiring replacement or repair prior to
certification & activation. [15A NCAC 02T .0116]
8. Gravity sewers installed greaterthan ten percent below the minimum required slope perthe Division's
Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria shall not be acceptable and shall not be certified until
corrected. If there is an unforeseen obstacle in the field where all viable solutions have been
examined, a slope variance can be requested from the Division with firm supporting documentation.
This shall be done through a permit modification with fee. Such variance requests will be evaluated
on a case -by -case basis. Resolution of such request shall be evident prior to completing and submitting
the construction certification. [ 15A NCAC 02T.0105(n)]
9. A copy of the construction record drawings shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for the life of
the wastewater collection facilities. [15A NCAC 02T .0116]
10. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit; 15A NCAC 2T; the Division's
Gravity Sewer Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996 as applicable; the Division's Minimum Design
Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Station and Force Mains adopted June 1, 2000 as
applicable; and other supporting materials may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by
the Division, in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes §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. [15A NCAC 02T .0104; 15A NCAC 02T

11. 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.
[15A NCAC 02T .0110; 15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)]

the Division or any other Federal, State, of Local government agencies. [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
13. If the Permittee/Applicant holds a system -side collection system operation, maintenance and
management permit (WQCS-prefix) from the Division, then the following applies: For all newly
constructed, modified and rehabilitated pump stations, all equipment and components shall be sealed
within a corrosion -resistant coating or encasement to the extent practicable and equivalent to the
minimum design criteria unless the permittee can demonstrate it is not practicable or another form
of corrosion resistance is employed. [15A NCAC 02T .0108 (b)]
