Mark — so the discharge rate is changed to 582 (instead of 572 gpm as the narrative and 4/21 application stated?).

Morning Mark — I think I pointed this out below — but the permit application still did not correct Part VI.8. (why is Flow not matching up with that provided in the total for VI.7?). Not sure if that got missed with the
original application, but it should be corrected. And the FTSE for the City of Durham's WRF (the top part of the FTSE is not filled out).
I'm moving forward with this but if gall will get that information to me for the application files that would be great.
Thankyou.

OK Mark I think I have an idea of what is happening now (and I just skipped copying those folks for the time being- we can summarize after we've had a chance to speak). I'll try and give you a ring likely around 10am
Monday and see if I can catch you. Yes permit mod since it is greater than 5% difference is the cleanest way to handle this (and correct for the downstream info). Please include a brief narrative of the changes (similar
to this email but not as much detail —just a rundown on the changes/corrections to the application). They'll need to resubmit a fee for a modification (sorry about that). Don't forget to correct the flow in Part VI.8. of
the application and get the information forthe flow tracking sheet. I know we don't ask for this in the application, but could you send me just a schematic of what is going where and under what permit (I think I have a
handle on it, but visuals are great)? It does not have to be to scale and I'm happy with sketch. And seems like this will be an easy turn around with all the info there. When we talk give me an idea ofthe time constraints
you're/they're under.
That should give a good start until we can chat
Thanks,
Susan

Susan: Please find attached the following info and summary of changes needed (modification ofthe permit) Permit No. WQDM3292 city otoumam 751 south secondary Ls
• Current LS Permit
• Proposed Revisions to FTA (pdf with items changing highlighted) Page 1 of pdf at the bottom
• Proposed Revisions to FTSE (pdf with items changing highlighted) Page 4 and 6 ofthe pdf)
• Pump Info
Some general background info. CE Group was responsible forthe LS permitting and CoulterJewell has been responsible forthe overall project permitting (collection system). We misunderstood what the downstream
permit # was and are simply correcting the application to match the actual downstream permit that the lift station is discharging to.
At the recent startup, the pumps are discharging in excess ofthe 5% allowance in the current permit. I can attribute this to the following. The forcemain is very short with minimal bends and appurtenances. The State
MDC for Lift stations requires us to use c values of 140 for new PVC and 120 forthe future condition. Pipe manufacturers all reflect new PVC with a coefficient of 150 versus 140. 1 am attaching some information
showing that the difference in TDH (just within the FM between a c value of 150 and 140) along with the steep pump curve for this specific pump. You will see that a difference of 3-4' in TDH is equal to+/- 50 GPM. For
smaller discharging pumps like this 5% is not much of a variation.
We appreciate your assistance into looking at these changes to the existing permit and answering any further questions Jerry might have for us to modify the existing permit and activate this facility. I am currently
pulling togetherthe post startup info for Durham Water Management and plan to have that info to them next week.
Let me know if you have any question about the info provided

5. Updated Narrative for DEQ identifying change
We received from Preston yesterday (attached and see email chain below), the 6" FM permit approval from the Secondary LS to the gravity sewer within 751 South

I am attaching the FTSE and FTA submitted with our prior application (for the 751 Secondary LS) that was approved along with the approved permit for the lift station (WQ0043292).
In this permit mod, the Downstream Sewer in the permit app will changed to the 6" FM (WQ0044001, permitted forwarded by Preston yesterday).
I am enclosing a revised FTA (new app format 6/22) and revised FTSE for you to execute reflecting the revision to the approved LS permit with the downstream sewer now shown as the 6" FM (WQ0044001). This is the
only change to the current permit.
Once you forward back, I will submit as a modification to the existing permit approval for the LS (WQ0043292). We expect the LS to be ready for operation in late February 2023.
This modification to the LS permit will have everything in proper order.
Let me know if you have any questions. (excerpt from prior app with items to be changed highlighted below).
