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 greater than ten percent below the minimum required slope per the Division's
Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria shall not be acceptable and shall not be certified until

SUBJECT: WATER AND SEWER FLOW ACCEPTANCE
THE WILLOWS - UNIVERSITY
111601 N TRYON STREET, CHARLOTTE NC
CHARLOTTE WATER TRACKING# 20151541
A flow acceptance study of the subject site has been completed and the following has been determined:
Charlotte Water (CLTWater) agrees to accept the gravity sewage flow of 35,000 gallons per day (255
apartment units x 135 gpd/unit; 3 employee office x 25 gpd/employee; 50 person pool x 10 god/person)
from this project for transmission to the Mallard Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant; NPDES permit
number NC0030210, for treatment. This acceptance of flow is based upon the existing capacity of the
designated publicly owned treatments works. Please see attached FTSE form.
CLTWater agrees to furnish water to the subject project. The water quality to the subject project is
regulated by the State Drinking Water Act Amendments of 1986, and The Water Supply Management
Plan, PWS ID # 0160010, on file with the Public Water Supply Section of NCDENR. However, CLTWater
cannot guarantee a constant pressure or quality of flow.
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. Connection to the
CLTWater and sewer system is accepted on a first come, first served basis.
The applicant should understand that this letter is not authorization to construct private water or sewer
systems, as the appropriate local or State permits are required prior to construction. If the appropriate
authorization to construct permits are not obtained and construction has not started within one (1) year of
issuance of this flow acceptance study, and payment for any service connection(s) has not been received
within 1 ear of issuance of this flow acce tance letter this a royal shall be rescinded and a new flow
acceptance study must be made. If you have any questions, you may contact me at [phone].

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 IT
plus all attached nning assessment addendums for which I am the responsible party.
