In accordance with your modification request made by Mr. Hal Spears and Mr. Denver Toler, P.E.
on Novemebr 6, 1996 we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0012633 dated November 8, 1996 to
you for the continued operation of the subject wastewater collection extension. Because this system was
installed without a permit from the State, it is being required to meet the minimum criteria for systems
currently being permitted. Therefore, sorne remedial construction is being authorized in this permit as
outlined in conditions 14 through 17. The engineer's certification shall serve as proof of compliance with.
these conditions. The only modification which is being made in this pert lit issuance, in comparison to the
October 31, 1996 issuance, is that the requirement for fillets in the wet well is being dropped. Because
these are existing pump stations, there are some concerns on how to properly install the fillets without the
threat of them potentially breaking up in the future and causing significant clogging and structural damage
to the pumps.
This permit shall be effective from the date o.f issuance until rescinded, shall, hereby void Permit
No. WQ0012633 issued October 31, 1996 and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein.
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 thirty (30) days following receipt of
this permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, P.O. Drawer
27447, Raleigh, NC 27611-7447. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.
