This analysis has been performed in accordance with local established policies and procedures using the best available data.

Pump Station (Name or Number): Given that: a. The proportion and amount of Obligated, Not Yet Tributary Daily Flow (C) accounts for 2.42 % and 0.004 MGD of the Available Capacity (E) in Pump Station New Hope Road PS ; and that b. The rate of activation of this obligated, not yet tributary capacity is currently approximately 0.002 MGD per year; and that c. A funded Capital Project that will provide the required planned capacity, namely 2015 Priority Sewer Rehabilitation - Phases is in design or under construction with 1-3 planned completion in 1 year ; and/or d. The following applies: Significant inflow/infiltration is contributing to the current average daily flow. The 2015 Priority Sewer Rehabilitation Phases 1-3 project will significantly reduce the inflow/ infiltration and thus reduce the current average daily flow. Therefore: Given reasonably expected conditions and planning information, there is sufficient justification to allow this flow to be permitted, without a significant likelihood of over -allocating capacity in the system infrastructure. 1 understand that this does not relieve the collection system owner from complying with G.S. 143- 215.67(a) which prohibits the introduction of any waste in excess of the capacity of the waste disposal system. igning Official Signature Date Page 3 of 6 FTSE 08-13 Balsam Place Sanitary Sewer 100 Improvements Project 4-434 Legend Sewer Manholes ► Sewer Gravity Mains 75 150 300 Fe
