Dear Mr. Dyer:
In accordance with your application received on January 10, 2005, we are forwarding herewith
Permit No. WQ0024794, dated January 21, 2005, to Union County 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issuance until rescinded, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein.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

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 2H .0227 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 2H .0200; 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

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.

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.
