Subject: WQ0043750 - Brantley Place Phase 3 (Sanford)
Hello,
After a review of the submitted sewer extension application for the Brantley Place Phase 3 project, we have the
following questions:
1. Section VI #1-3: These items were left blank on the submitted application. Please confirm yes/no/na for each
question in response to this email and 1 will update the application.
2. Section VI #8: This question was answered with a value of 42,840 GPD of wastewater generated by this
project. However, the table in VI #7 indicates only 6,840 GPD. Please confirm the total wastewater generated
by this project.
3. Section IX #5: The application states an answer of "yes" for this question regarding the project requiring a 404 or
401 permit. However, I could not locate a status update in the cover letter/project narrative. Please provide an
update on the status of the 404/401 permit as there are potential streams, ponds, and wetlands depicted on the
USGS map.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
