Division of Water Quality
February 20, 2006
Subject: Permit No. WQ0029857
Cureton Phase 2A Sewer Extension
Union County Public Works
Wastewater Collection System Extension
Union County, North Carolina
In accordance with your application received on January 24, 2006, we are forwarding herewith
Permit No. WQ0029857, dated February 20, 2006, 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of issuance until rescinded, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified therein.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 Permitee 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

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.
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina
as amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations, permission is hereby granted to
Union County Public Works for the construction only of approximately 5,202 linear feet of 8-inch gravity
sewer as part of the of the Cureton Phase 2A project; and the discharge of 0 gallons per day of
collected domestic wastewater into Union County's existing sewerage system, pursuant to the
application received January 24, 2006, and in conformity with 15A NCAC 2H .0200; 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 permit.
The sewage and wastewater collected by this system will be tributary to Union County's WWTP
(Twelve Mile Creek NPDES No. NC0085359) prior to being discharged into the receiving stream.
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 30 days following receipt of this
permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of North
Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made, this permit shall be final and
binding.

Please allow this letter to serve as our official acknowledgement of the requested zero flow sanitary sewer
permit for Cureton Phase 2A. We fully understand that the aforementioned permit does not guarantee any
flow through thls system. The issuance of a zero flow permit, by NCDENR, allows only the construction of
the permitted sewer infrastructure onsite by GS Carolina.
