RE: Marin Woods Subdivision — SS Fast Track Permit Application - Narrative
Dear Jason,
Strona Rock Emaineerina Group. PLLC (" SREG) is please to present this project narrative
for the Marin Woods Subdivision Sanitary Sewer System. Marin Woods is a proposed
residential subdivision located along NC Hwy 210 in Smithfield, NC. The project consists of 49
Single Family Dwelling Units and 93 Townhome Dwelling Units.
The Proposed Sanitary Sewer Systems connects to an existing SS Outfall along the western
property line. The proposed system consists of the following:
- 4,299 LF of 8" PVC SS Main
142 PVC SS Services
Precast Concrete SS manholes
The contractor will use industry standard construction methods for the installation and testing of
the proposed sewer system in accordance with Town of Smithfield, Johnston County, and
NCDEQ specifications.
An aerial location map along with a streetview snapshot has been provided along with the
response to comments for this project.
Thank you very much for your attention to our request for approval. If you have any questions,
or if I may be of further service, please do not hesitate to give me a call.

Subject: Residential Flow Reduction Approval
Town of Smithfield (WQCS00270)
Johnston County
Dear Mr. Credle:
On August 5, 2021, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received a request for an
adjusted daily sewage flow rate (flow reduction) that would apply to all permitted but not yet
tributary residential connections and all future residential connections within the Town of
Smithfield service area. Additional information was requested by the Division and was received
on January 5, 2022.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0114(f), the Division has evaluated the request, and based
on the data submitted, the Division hereby approves for use by the Town of Smithfield an
adjusted daily sewage design flow rate with the following conditions:
• The flow reduction is applicable to residential single-family dwellings only.
• The minimum flow for 1- and 2- bedroom dwellings shall be 180 gallons per day.
• Each additional bedroom above two bedrooms shall increase the volume by 90 gallons
per day per bedroom.
• This flow reduction shall not apply to sewer extension applications and. -or permits for any
other public or private organizations whose wastewater flows are or might become
tributary to the Town of Smithfield collection system (WQCS00270).
Future sewer extension applications should be made using the flow reduction amount stated
above. All other aspects of the permitting process remain unchanged, and all applications must
be in compliance with the statutes, rules, regulations and minimum design criteria as certified by
the owner and engineer.
Rep-ardless of the adiusted 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 .01 14(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
Smithfield shall submit documented, representative data in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T
.0114(f)(1)(A-H) prior to the expiration date of collection system permit no. WOCS00270 on
September 1, 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,
and/or wastewater treatment.

HI Stephen,
As mentioned in my earlier email to Matthew Payne (below), it's currently taking us around 5-7 weeks to review and
issue permits. We received it on September 23.
But with that said, I went ahead and took a quick look at the application, and it has quite a few issues. The following
comments/questions need to be addressed before review can continue:

1. A cover letter/narrative is required per instruction A. -- SREG RESPONSE: This has been attached to this email
response.
2. A aerial/street-view map (in addition to the topo map) is required per instruction F. -- SREG RESPONSE: This has
been attached to this email response.
3. A Developer's Operational Agreement (DOA) was included, but these are typically only required if the permittee
is a private entity that will be selling lots after the construction of the sewerline. (Item VI.2). But since the
applicant is Smithfield, I don't think a DOA is required. Please confirm that the permittee will be the public
municipality Smithfield, and therefore a DOA is not required. -- SREG RESPONSE: You are correct, and per my
previous email we have revised the application to reflec this.
4. Item V1.6 was checked "Yes" for an approved flow -reduction, but the required Flow Reduction Approval letter
was not included. -- SREG RESPONSE: This has been attached to this email response.
5. Item IX.7 was checked "Yes" for high priority line, but the required attachment with details was not included.
SREG RESPONSE: The application has been revised to note that there isn't a high priority line proposed.
6. The application was not signed and sealed by a professional engineer (Item X.2). -- SREG RESPONSE: This has
been attached to this email response.

hey Jason,
Can you please advise what is happening with the sewer sign off on above project?
SREG placed this in the system with fast track payment to ensure turnaround as it is holding us up at our end.
I would appreciate it if you can assist and advise where we are with it?
thanks
Stephen

Hi Matthew,
Apologies for not responding earlier.
We did receive the application on the 234, Due to the volume of applications we receive along with our other duties,
it's currently taking us 5-7 weeks to review and issue permits. Hopefully we can get to it on the shorter end of
that. We're trying to shorten that timeframe, but it's where we're at right now. Sorry for the delay.

Good Morning,
wanted to follow up again as the voicemail message notes that this is the best way to communicate. Do you
have any updates related to this application? I have attached our transmittal receipt and application.

This item has been on the critical path of our project, and I am following up on the status. Could you provide a
