/`) 1 6:a.
In accordance with your complete application received on March 2, 2007, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. WQ0028606, dated March 2, 2007, to the Union County Public Works for the
construction and operation of the subject wastewater collection system extension. This permit shall be
effective from the date of issuance until rescinded, shall supercede Permit No, WQ0028606 issued
October 18, 2006, 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 particularattention 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.
This permit provides for the construction of a 20 550-foot force main segment, Due to odors and
corrosive issues that would be expected when the line is not operating at design capacity, it is
suggested that the Permittee implement a maintenance program that will address any such negative
effects
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,

granted to Union County Public Works for the construction and operation of approximately 19,450 linear
feet of 16-inch force main, a1,106 linear feet of 18-inch gravity sewer, and a 764 gallon per minute
pump station (with duplex pumps, on -site audible and visual high water alarms, and a permanent
generator WATS), as part of the of the Tarkill Branch Pump Station project and the discharge of 0
gallons per day of collected domestic wastewater into the Union County and Charlotte Mecklenburg
Utility existing sewerage system, pursuant to the application received March 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

Dear Christie:
I have reviewed.the request you submitted to allow for an additional connection to the Six
Mile Creek Outfall from the Tarkill Branch system in Union County. After reviewing the
agreement and discussing it internally, Charlotte Mecklenburg Utilities agrees that Union
County can proceed with the connection to the Six Mile Outfall.
As outlined in the agreement, if the ciaaly average flow exceeds 1 mgd from Union to Six Mile
then we will' need to calculate the additional capital charge for the additional capacity up to 3
ingd. As I understand it you have ah-eady been in contact with Mickey Hicks to look at what
that charge would be. Per the agreement we would also want to have one of our engineers
work with the designer of the forcemain in order to review the connection point and as we
have discussed we will need to determine the appropriate type of metering device. for this
application.
I will be in touch with you by phone to discuss how we should best" proceed with this
connection.
Sincerely,
Barry D. Shearin, PE
