Regardless of the adjusted design daily wastewater flow rate, at no time shall the wastewater
flows exceed the effluent limits defined in the permit for the treatment facility or exceed the
capacity of the sewers downstream of any new sewer extension or service connection(s).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0114(f),the Division periodically requires reassessment of
wastewater flow data associated with the collection system or the receiving wastewater treatment
plant as applicable to confirm the suitability of the approved flow reduction value. The Town of
Pittsboro shall submit documented,representative data in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T
.0114(f)(1)(A-H)prior to March 31,2029. Failure to submit the required data by this date will
result in this flow reduction approval letter becoming null and void. Upon review of the data,the
Division shall either reapprove, modify or not grant reapproval for the previously approved flow
reduction value.
The granting of this flow reduction does not prohibit the Division from reopening, revoking,
reissuing and/or modifying the flow reduction as allowed by the laws, rules, and regulations
contained in 15A NCAC 02T,NCGS 143=215.1, or as needed to address changes in State and/or
Federal regulations with respect to wastewater collection systems,protection of surface waters,
