Union County, North Carolina
Dear Ms Putnam:
In accordance with your application received on August 15, 2005, we are forwarding herewith
Permit'No. WQ0029254, dated August 31., 2005, to Union County Public Works for the construction
only 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of -issuance until rescinded, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein.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 Division has expressed concern over the receiving treatment plant capacity and recognizes
that efforts are in •progress to address the concern. However, issuance of this construction only permit
does not guarantee issuance of a permit to operate. Requests for permit modifications to place a
sewer into operation are required and will be evaluated on an individual basis in the order received.
Approval will be based on a review of the downstream sewer and receiving plant capacity.
Construction of this permitted system is at the Permittee's own risk and the Permiee shall be held
accountable: per G.S. 143-215.67(a) should compliance issues arise.
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
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
