III. Certification Statement:
I Carl Wilson 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 lanning assessment addendums for which I am the responsible party.
Signature of thi/fprm indicates acceptance of this wastewater flow.

FTSE PLANNING ASSESSMENT ADDENDUM (PAA)
Submit a planning assessment addendum for each pump station listed in Section II where Available
Capacity is < O.
Pump Station (Name or Number):
Given that:
a. The proportion and amount of Obligated, Not Yet Tributary Daily Flow (C) accounts for
1.6 (Long) , 1.2 (Paw)% ando• 066, 0.066 MGD of the Available Capacity (E) in Pump Station
Long Creek and Paw Creek ;and that
b. The rate of activation of this obligated, not yet tributary capacity is currently approximately
o . 066, 0 . 066 MGD per year; and that
c. A funded Capital Project that will provide the required planned capacity, namely
Long Creek EQ Basin and Paw Creek Forcemaain ReplacementiS in design or under construction with
planned completion in Long Creek, Completand/or
d. The following applies: Paw Creek - 2020
CMUD's Capital Improvement Plan has allocated funds for improvements to the Paw Creek
forcemain and a 5 million gallon EQ basin at Long Creek Pump Station.
Long Creek and Paw Creek pump stations operate as a system using SCADA data to
determine the rate of flow delivered from the upstream pump station, Long Creek, to Paw
Creek the downstream facility. Long Creek pump station has the ability to transfer flows
to flow equalization tanks during peak flow events and then meter out flow to paw creek as
flow conditions allow. In addition, the basins for both stations are large and result in a daily
peaking factor of 2.06 at Paw Creek Pump Station, which allows the stations to operate
safely at flows greater than 40% of the firm pumping capacity.
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 disp+s : stem.
