Dear Mr. Treme,
In accordance with your application received on November 13, 2008, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. WQ0033597 dated November 19, 2008, for the construction only of the subject
wastewater collection system extension. This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until
rescinded, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein.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.
Please pay particular attention to Permit Condition 3 which requires that the wastewater
collection facilities be properly operated and maintained in accordance with 15A NCAC 2T .0403 or any
individual system -wide collection system permit issued to the Permittee.
Permitting of this project does not constitute an acceptance of any part of the project that does
not meet 1) 15A NCAC 2T; 2) the Division of Water Quality's (Division) Gravity Sewer Minimum Design
Criteria adopted February 12, 1996, as applicable; 3) and the Division's Minimum Design Criteria for
the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains adopted June 1, 2000, as applicable,
unless specifically mentioned herein. Division approval is based on acceptance of the certification
provided by a North Carolina -licensed Professional Engineer in the application. It shall be the
Permittee's responsibility to ensure that the as -constructed project meets the appropriate design criteria
and rules. Failure to comply may result in penalties in accordance with North Carolina General Statute
§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.

In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North
Carolina as amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations, permission is hereby
granted to the City of Salisbury for the construction and operation of approximately 742 linear feet of 8-
inch gravity sewer, and the discharge of zero (0) gallon per day of collected domestic wastewater into
Salisbury -Rowan WWTP- (Grant's Creek Train) existing sewerage system pursuant to the application

facilities to change ownership, or there is a name change of the Permittee, a formal permit request
shall be submitted to the Division accompanied by documentation from the parties involved, and
other supporting materials as may be appropriate. The approval of this request shall be
considered on its merits and may or may not be approved.
5. Construction of the gravity sewers, pump stations, and force mains shall be scheduled so as not to
interrupt service by the existing utilities nor result in an overflow or bypass discharge of wastewater
to the surface waters of the State.
6. Per 15A NCAC 2T .0116, upon completion of construction and prior to operation of these
permitted facilities, the completed Engineering Certification form attached to this permit shall be

applicable.
7. A copy of the construction record drawings shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for the life
of the wastewater collection facilities.
8. 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

enforcement action by the Division, in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes §143-
215.6A through §143-215.6C.
9. 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.
10. The issuance of this permit shall not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all
statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies
(local, state and federal) which have jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable river buffer
rules in 15A NCAC 2B .0200, erosion and sedimentation control requirements in 15A NCAC Ch. 4
and under the Division's General Permit NCG010000, and any requirements pertaining to wetlands
under 15A NCAC 2B .0200 and 15A NCAC 2H .0500.
11. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall verbally report to a Division of Water Quality employee at the Mooresville
Regional Office, telephone number [phone], as soon as possible, but in no case more than
24 hours or on the next working day, following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence
of either of the following:
a. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the facility incapable
of adequate wastewater transport, such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, line
blockage or breakage, etc.; or
b. Any failure of a pumping station or sewer line resulting in a by-pass directly to receiving waters
without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to such station or facility.

I
Voice mail messages or faxed information is permissible, but shall not be considered as the
initial verbal report. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours may also be
reported to the Division of Emergency Management at telephone number [phone] or
[phone]. Persons reporting any of the above occurrences shall file a spill report by
completing Part I of Form CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form), within five days
following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report shall outline the actions taken or
proposed to ensure that the problem does not recur. Part II of Form CS-SSO (or the most
current Division approved form) can also be completed to show that the SSO was beyond
control.
12. This permit shall be for the construction of the wastewater collection facilities only. No flow shall
be made tributary to the subject facilities until a permit modification application is submitted (with
the appropriate fee), a modified permit is issued, and the Engineer's Certification is received
and approved by the Division. Issuance of this Construction only (No flow/0 flow) permit does
not prioritize or obligate the Division to guarantee future issuance of a sewer extension permit
modification.
Permit issued this the 19w day of November 2008.
