therein. This cover letter shall be considered a part of this permit and is therefore incorporated therein
by reference.
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 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

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 for the construction and operation of approximately 7,240 linear feet of 8-inch gravity sewer
and the discharge of 2850 gallons per day of domestic wastewater into the existing sewerage system
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 permit.
The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the Twelve Mile Creek
P (NPDES No NC0085359) prior to being discharged into the receiving stream.
Assessing subsequent impacts to the downstream collection system and treatment facility is the
complete responsibility of Union County Public Works, Union County must utilize whatever tracking
tools necessary for planning additions of sewer flow in order to maintain compliance with the WWTP
permitted limits and their collection system permit VVQCS00054.
If any parts, requirements, ar 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
