ensure that the problem does not recur. Part 11 of Form CS-SSO (or the most current Division
approved form) can also be completed to show that the SSO was beyond control.
6. Construction of the gravity sewers, pump stations, and force mains shall be scheduled so as riot to
interrupt service by the existing utilities nor result in an overflow or bypass discharge of wastewater

f Michael Garbark, PE certify to the best of my knowledge that the addition of
the volume of wastewater to be permitted in this project has been evaluated along the route to the
receiving wastewater treatment facility and that the flow from this project is not anticipated to
cause any capacity related sanitary sewer overflows or overburden any downstream pump station
en route to the receiving treatment plant under normal circumstances, given the implementation of
the planned improvements identified in the planning assessment where applicable. This analysis
has been performed in accordance with local established policies and procedures using the best
available data. This certification applies to those items listed above in Sections 1 and II plus all

* The Firm Capacity of any pump station is defined as the maximum pumped flow that
can be achieved with the largest pump taken out of service.
** Design Average Daily Flow is the firm capacity of the pump station divided by a peaking
factor (p1) not Less than 2.5.
*** A Planning Assessment Addendum shall be attached for each pump station located
between the project connection point and the WWTP where the Available Capacity is < 0.

III. Certification Statement:
I Russ Colbath, PE certify to the best of my knowledge that the addition of
the volume of wastewater to be permitted in this project has been evaluated along the route to the
receiving wastewater treatment facility and that the flow from this project is not anticipated to
cause any capacity related sanitary sewer overflows or overburden any downstream pump station
en route to the receiving treatment plant under normal circumstances, given the implementation
of the planned improvements identified in the planning assessment where applicable. This
analysis has been performed in accordance with local established policies and procedures using
the best available data. This certification applies to those items listed above in Sections I and-1
for which I am the responsible party.
Signature of this form indicates acceptance of this wastewater flow.

On behalf of the Union County Department of Public Works, please find enclosed a Fast -Track permit
application for the Rays Fork Interceptor.
This project consists of the construction of approximately 14,300 linear feet (LF) of new gravity outfall sewer
ranging in size from 8-inches to 16-inches in diameter in Union County west of the Town of Wingate. The
proposed gravity sewer will accept flow from three (3) existing pumping stations and convey flow by gravity to
the East Side Pump Station. These existing pumping stations presently serve the County Animal Shelter,
County Agricultural Center, County Sheriff's Department and Jail Facility, and an existing residential
development. The East Side Pump Station pumps flow to the City of Monroe Wastewater Treatment Plant
under an existing WWTP permit. This project is being constructed as part of the County's Comprehensive
Water and Wastewater Master Plan prepared by others.
Enclosed in this submittal are the following items:
• Check in the amount of $480
• Signed original plus one copy of the following:
o Fast -Track Permit Application (FTA 08-13)
o Street Level Map
o USGS Topographic Site Map of project area
o Flow Tracking Acceptance Forms (FTSE 08-13)
o Watershed Classification Attachment (WSCAS 08-13) with map
