velocity, pump cycle times, and level control settings, pump station buoyancy, wet well storage,
surge protection, detention time in the wet well, and force main, ability to flush low points in
force mains with a pump cycle, and downstream sewer capacity analysis. If a portable power

non-compliance with this permit (including pipe length increases of 10% or, greater, 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 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
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)]

Carolina -licensed Professional Engineer to the licensing board. [15A NCAC 02T .0104; 15A NCAC 02T
.0108(b-c)]
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)]
