The reconciliation is expected to be completed in June 2023. Given the size of the pump station, the percentage of n2t-yet-tributary, and the rate of activation, this will be the first step to determine if potential CIP project is needed and timeline for any capacity increase. Therefore: Given reasonably expected conditions and planning information, there is sufficient justification to allow this flow to be permitted, without a significant likelihood of over -allocating capacity in the system infrastructure. I understand that this does not relieve the collection system owner from complying with G.S. 143- 215.67(a) which prohibits the introduction of any waste in excess of the capacity of the waste disposal system.

The North Harnett WWTP is in the engineering phase of an expansion and if I can remember correctly should be expanded to approximately 15 MGPD when complete. They are currently around 70% actual flow, so we have been accepting applications to this plant. I spoke with Charlie before he left about the lift station that is over allocated, and since the pump station is so large, he didn't have a problem with more flow being sent to it. I don't think we would need any special language in the permit. We will keep an eye on the flows to the pump station, and will have conversations with Harnett County if needed. Thanks for the heads up.

Well met! I'm Sharon and I've been working on the FTSE for the Fayetteville Regional Office. I'm still relatively new to it, so I think its best for us to give Trent the last word on this matter (he's on leave at the moment and will be back on Monday) but I can offer this: I recently completed a FTSE for N Harnett myself and I was not instructed to add any specialty language in the permit. I also double checked the application I have against the one you sent us. The flow tracking pages contained the same information in the same places regarding the PER on file for plant expansion and the PAA for the over -capacity pump station. Based on what I see, it looks acceptable.

Susan, Good afternoon, hope all is well. Mark Ashness requested that I forward you the attached and below response to your email to him on June 7, 2023. 1. Part V1.6. of the application both the Yes and No boxes are checked for flow reduction. You may check Yes on this. The Town of Fuquay does have flow reduction approval (as you submitted), although this flow ultimately goes to North Harnett Regional WWTF. As long as the Town of Fuquay is the applicant and N Harnett signs the Flow Tracking sheet, the flow reduction can be applied (per consultation with central office folks, as I was unsure). Revised Form Attached. Also attached is North Harnett FTSE. 2. In relation to that approval, the Flow Tracking Sheet needs to be signed by North Harnett Regional staff (with appropriate information for permitted/tributary flows etc.). The permitted flow given for N Harnett I believe is incorrect (should be 7.5 mgd?). Don't forget to add in the proposed project flow in I.g. Attached is properly executed North Harnett FTSE. 3. Also with regard to any downstream pump stations — if a downstream pump station is owned by Fuquay — then a separate flow tracking sheet (for pump stations) demonstrating that the lift station can handle the additional capacity needs to be approved by Fuquay. If a downstream lift station is owned by N Harnett —then it needs to be shown and signed off by N Harnett staff. Attached is properly executed North Harnett FTSE. Please let him know if you have any questions or require additional information. Thanks for your help with this matter.

It gets a bit confusing from an approval standpoint with flow going to another municipal entity, so let me know if you have any questions. Also we are putting this standard language in our additional information requests to keep things on track, as we've run into issues with other applications (essentially, respond in 30 days or the application may be returned). Please note 15A NCAC 02T .0107 Staff Review and Permit Preparation states: (e) If an application is accepted and later found to be incomplete, the applicant shall be advised how the application or accompanying supporting information may be modified to make it complete. The staff shall advise the applicant: (2) if all required information is not submitted within 30 days, the project will be returned as incomplete. Any resubmittal of a returned application shall be accompanied with a new application fee. Thanks Mark. Again, let me know if you folks have any questions.
