adequate wastewater transport, such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, line blockage or
breakage, etc.; or
b. Any SSO and/or spill over 1,000 gallons; or
c. Any SSO and/or spill, regardless of volume, that reaches surface water
Voice mail messages or faxed information is permissible, but this shall not be considered as the initial
verbal report. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours may also be reported to the
Division of Emergency Management at telephone number [phone] or [phone]. Persons
reporting any of the above occurrences shall file a spill report by completing and submitting Part I of Form
CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form) within five days following first knowledge of the
occurrence. This report must outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the
problem does not recur. Part 11 of Form CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form) can also be
completed to show that the SSO was beyond control. [G.S. 143-215.1C(a1)]
6. Construction of the gravity sewers, pump stations, and force mains shall be scheduled so as not to
interrupt service by the existing utilities nor result in an overflow or bypass discharge of wastewater to
the surface waters of the State. [15A NCAC 02T.0108(b)]
7. Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of these permitted facilities, the completed
Engineering Certification form with checklist attached to this permit shall be submitted with the required
supporting documents to the address provided on the form. A complete certification is one where the
form is fully executed and the supporting documents are provided as applicable. Any wastewater flow
made tributary to the wastewater collection system extension prior to completion of this Engineer's
Certification shall be considered a violation of the permit and shall subject the Permittee to appropriate
enforcement actions.
If the permit is issued to a private entity with an Operational Agreement, then a copy of the Articles of
Incorporation, Declarations/Covenants/Restrictions, and Bylaws that have been appropriately filed
with the applicable County's Register of Deeds office shall be submitted with the certification.

A complete certification is one where the form is fully executed and the supporting documents are
provided as applicable. Supporting documentation shall include the following:
a. One copy of the project construction record drawings (plan & profile views of sewer lines & force mains)
of the wastewater collection system extension. Final record drawings should be clear on the plans or in
accepted electronic format and are defined as the design drawings that are marked up or annotated with
after construction information and show required buffers, separation distances, material changes, etc.
b. One copy of the supporting applicable design calculations including pipe and pump sizing, velocity, pump
cycle times, and level control settings, pump station buoyancy, wet well storage, surge protection,
detention time in the wet well, and force main, ability to flush low points in force mains with a pump
cycle, and downstream sewer capacity analysis. If a portable power source or pump is dedicated to
multiple stations, an evaluation of all the pump stations' storage capacities and the rotation schedule of
the portable power source or pump, include travel timeframes, shall be provided.
c. Changes to the project that do not result in non-compliance with this permit, regulations, or the Minimum
Design Criteria should be clearly identified on the record drawings, on the certification in the space
provided, or in written summary form.
Prior to Certification (Final or Partial): Permit modifications are required for any changes resulting in non-
compliance with this permit (including pipe length changes of 10% or greater by type & size, increased
flow, pump station design capacity design increases of 5% or greater, and increases in the number/type
of connections), regulations, or the Minimum Design Criteria. Requested modifications or variances to
the Minimum Design Criteria will be reviewed on a case -by -case basis and each on its own merit. Please
note that variances to the Minimum Design Criteria should be requested and approved during the
permitting process prior to construction. After -construction requests are discouraged by the Division and
may not be approved, thus requiring replacement or repair prior to certification & activation. [15A NCAC
02T .0116]
8. Gravity sewers installed greater than ten percent below the minimum required slope per the Division's
Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria shall not be acceptable and shall not be certified until corrected.
If there is an unforeseen obstacle in the field where all viable solutions have been examined, a slope
variance can be requested from the Division with firm supporting documentation. This shall be done
through a permit modification with fee. Such variance requests will be evaluated on a case -by -case basis.
Resolution of such request shall be evident prior to completing and submitting the construction
certification. [ 15A NCAC 02T.0105(n)]
9. A copy of the construction record drawings shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for the life of the
wastewater collection facilities. [15A NCAC 02T .0116]
10. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit; 15A NCAC 2T; the Division's
Gravity Sewer Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996 as applicable; the Division's Minimum Design
Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Station and Force Mains adopted June 1, 2000 as applicable;
and other supporting materials may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division, in
accordance with North Carolina General Statutes §143-215.6A through §143-215.6C, construction of
additional or replacement wastewater collection facilities, and/or referral of the North Carolina -licensed
Professional Engineer to the licensing board. [15A NCAC 02T .0104; 15A NCAC 02T .0108(b-c)]
11. In the event that the wastewater collection facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation
of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may be
required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement facilities. [15A NCAC 02T
