As requested in our conversation, please submit a revised copy of page three of form FTA 06-21. Item VIl.1 should list each material of pipe on a separate line to ensure the precise length of each is reflected in the permit. For your convenience, you can simply edit the PDF page and send it directly to my email, and I will add it to the permit application. In addition to that edit, we will need you to complete and submit form FTSE 10-18 (attached), which should be signed by a legal representative of the City of Mount Airy (I imagine Mr. Williams would be the appropriate person in this case). This form certifies that the facility is capable of receiving this volume of waste, and is collected as part of our statewide flow -tracking efforts. Note that only pages one and two of this form are necessary to complete and submit unless the available capacity of the WWTP is less than or equal to zero. As you did with the FTA, please ensure that the signature on the FTSE form is either a wet -ink signature or a secure digital signature (such as DocuSign or Adobe), as photocopies or scans of signatures can't be accepted. Thank you for your assistance with this paperwork. Once I receive these updates I can begin to process the forms and draft a permit.
