Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Coleen H. Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality November 16, 2007 Subject: Permit No. WQ0032341 Locust Town Center Wastewater Collection System Extension Stanly County, North Carolina In accordance with your complete application received on. November 2, 2007, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0032341, dated November 16, 2007, to the City of Locust for the construction and operation 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 This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until rescinded, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein.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. The downstream pump station operated by the Town of Oakboro is currently having issues with compliant operations. Oakboro's reports on corrective actions taken to reduce SSO's are being evaluated at this time. Other permits may not be issued tributary to that pump station if the evaluation of this office determines that these actions have not been effective in significantly reducing SSO's in the Oakboro collection system. 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.

Inman ge 2 vember 16, 2007 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 Locust for the construction and operation of approximately 5,700 linear feet of 8- inch gravity sewer and the discharge of 89,040 gallons per day of collected domestic wastewater into the Town of Oakboro existing sewerage system and the joint Town of Stanfield, City of Locust force main, pursuant to the application received November 2, 2007, and in conformity with 15A NCAC 2T; the Division's Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996, as applicable; the Division's Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains adopted June 1, 2000, as applicable; and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit. There are significant SSO issues associated with the Main pump station downstream of your shared force main. It is recommended that Locust and Stanfield continue to participate in corrective action plans for the pump station because it is the only means of conveyance to the Oakboro WWTP at this time. The corrective actions completed to date have not been tested under conditions that would demonstrate that significant SSO problems associated with the main pump station have been successfully eliminated. If observations made during rainfall events determine that adequate progress has not been made to significantly reduce overflows then subsequent permitted flow will not be allowed. The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the Town of Oakboro WWTP (NPDES No. NC0043532) prior to being discharged into the receiving stream. If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within 30 days following receipt of this permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding. If you need additional information concerning this matter, please contact Dee Browder at (704) 663-1699. Sincerely, I _.
