following specified conditions and limitations:
1. This permit shall become voidable unless the wastewater collection facilities are constructed in
accordance with the conditions of this permit; 15A NCAC 2T; the Division of Water Quality's

application and other supporting data.
3. The wastewater collection facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times. The
Permittee shall maintain compliance with an individual system -wide collection system permit for the
operation and maintenance of these facilities as required by 15A NCAC 2T .0403. If an individual

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 submitted

enforcement action by the Division, in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes §143-
215.6A through §143-215.6C.

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.

(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.
2

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 (919) 733-
3300. 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. 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 a 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.
Permit issued this the 21st day of May, 2007.
