Previous Permitting
The project's erosion and sedimentation control plans are in the process with
NCDEQ and expect approval shortly — project ID: Union-2021-065.
The project's construction plans have been approved by Union County.
The project's stormwater management plan has been approved by NCDEQ-
Stormwater.
The project's road improvements plans are in the process with NCDOT and expect
approval shortly.
Sanitary Sewer System and Water Supply system
The water supply system and sanitary sewer system will serve 93 Townhome
Units, and common open space. The site will receive water by tapping to the 16"
watermain along Cuthbertson Road. The proposed water supply system is
comprised of 4,140 linear feet of proposed water line and will service 37,200 GPD.
The proposed sanitary sewer system is completely gravity fed with 2,486 feet of
8" sewer line proposed and will service 19,530 GPD.

III. Certification Statement:
I Crystal O. Panico, 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 II plus all attached planning assessment addendums for which I
am the responsible party. Signature of this form certifies that the receiving collection system or treatment
works has adequ capacity to transport and treat the proposed new wastewater.
