treatment plant under normal circumstances, given the implementation of the planned improvements
identified in the planning assessment where applicable. This analysis has been performed in accordance
with local established policies and procedures using the best available data. This certification applies to
those items listed above in Sections I and H plus all attached planning assessment addendums for which I
am the responsible party. Signature of this form certifies that the receiving collection system or treatment

Town of Pittsboro
Chatham County
Dear Mr. Jackson:
NC Dept of Environmental Quality
DEC - 6 2022
Raleigh Regional Office
On August 25, 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
Pittsboro service area. Additional information was requested by the Division and was received
on March 23, 2022 and September 23, 2022.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0114(f)(2), the Division has evaluated the request, and
based on the data submitted, the Division hereby approves for use by the Town of Pittsboro an
adjusted daily sewage design flow rate with the following conditions:
• The flow reduction is applicable to residential multi -family dwellings only.
• The minimum flow for 1- and 2- bedroom dwellings shall be 144 gallons per day.
• Each additional bedroom above two bedrooms shall increase the volume by 72 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 Pittsboro collection system (WQCS00146).
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.

512 North Salisbury Street 1 1611 Mad Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-161 1

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 facili , 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 1 A-Hprior 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, modifyogrant reapproval for the previously !Ipproved 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.

Mitch/Cassidy, no objection to this plan. I did note that the Fuel Canopy GPD appears to be from the Service Station/Gas
Station values in 2T; this in my estimation is not a direct comparison, a typical service station would have much more
restroom use. I'm ok with the FTSE revision since it is more conservative.

Hi Mitch,
Since we haven't issued the updated permit yet, the upcoming permit can be issued to reflect the pump station change
to 395 gpm in the permit. With that said, we'll need confirmation from the applicant (via an email response) that they're
ok with this change, and that will be the final piece we need to issue the modification (we have everything we've
previously asked for at this point).
Thanks!

Cassidy,
I left you a voicemail earlier this week but I know you are busy and probably haven't had time to even think about it.
think that you have everything that you need in order to issue the permit modification. Please confirm.
However, the voicemail I left you stated that we were going to need to modify the permit again soon due to the test
results of the pump station being more than a 5% increase/decrease from the current permit, so I will not be able to
certify the pump station without modifying the permit again first.
My question to you is, since this is a simple change, would it be best to capture it on this permit modification or wait and
do another one? I need to get this permit modification soon so that I can get the Contractor for the Lot #15 Apartments
going on the construction, so if this is only a few days delay, I think we should make it happen with this modification. If
it is going to be a few weeks delay, I would request an approval of this modification and then I will submit another one
for the pump station information.
Based on the startup test on Tuesday, the pumps were running at 405 and 400 GPM.
Included in this email is the following information based on the installed pump(s):
1. Sulzer Data Sheet reflecting 395 GPM at 153' TDH
2. Current Condition Comparison to Model reflecting 395 GPM at 153' TDH
3. Future Condition Comparison to Model reflecting 390 GPM at 155' TDH
The selected pump and impeller operates closer to the Best Efficiency Point (based upon field test).
Below is a screenshot of the portion of the application that will need to be revised in order to certify the station.

The Flow Tracking sheet wasn't updated with the adjusted flows, however if Kent Jackson confirms via email that he's ok
with the new flows, we'll go ahead and proceed with issuing this permit.

Subject: Northwood MUPD modification #3 - Fast Track Sewer Extension Application
Hi Kent and Mitch,
We're reviewing the subject application and have the following questions/comments:
1. Thank you for including the Flow Reduction approval letter for the apartments. The application appears to also
propose reduced flows for the gas station (Lot 6), grocery (Lot 7), and carwash. Proposed flows that deviate
from the 2T design flows must be reviewed and approved by NC DWR's Municipal Permitting Unit before they
can be used. Has this been done? The flows for the gas station and grocery have been revised back to the
originally permitted flows.
2. Additionally, flow reductions are approved for permitted, but not yet tributary flows. As the gas station and
grocery were previously permitted, are these facilities constructed and flows tributary to the collection system?
If they are existing, a reduced flow cannot be used. See above.
3. Part Vill. 5. includes 504 linear feet of 3" force main for this project. The method of solids reduction for force
mains less than 4" in diameter (below the force main table) was not marked on the application. Please identify
the method of solids reduction as required per the MDC (i.e. grinder pump). The grinder pump option has now
been checked.
4. Per Instruction F of the application, the topo map should show the general location of the project components
and downstream connection point. The topo map has been revised and is attached.
5. For clarity, does the application include all components to be included in this modification, including the new
components as well as those previously -permitted that will remain in the project, and remove any lines that will
not be included in the project? (6,201 LF of 8" gravity, 994 LF of 6" force main, 504 LF of 3" force main, and a
427-gpm duplex pump station with standby power). Yes and this is now clarified in the cover letter.
Please respond with the above additional information within 30 days.
Thanks,
Cassidy
