In accordance with your application received on December 8, 2006, we. are forwarding herewith
Permit No. WQ0029857, dated December 12, 2006, 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effective from the date of issuance until rescinded, shall supercede original Permit No. WQ0029857
issued February 20, 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. This permit allows for flow from 37 lots to become tributary to the 12-Mile Creek WWTP via
transfer from existing permitted tributary flow and 38 subsequent Tots to become tributary to the 12-Mile
Creek WWTP upon the plants upgrade to 6 MGD.
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 n 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.
