Dear Mr. Walker:

The Division of Water Resources (Division) has reviewed the submitted variance request received on

separation of from final earth grade as required by 15A NCAC 02T .0305(f), as indicated on the provided
plans, specifications, and supporting documents; subject to the following requirements:
1. Sewer lines failing to meet the minimum depth requirements shall be constructed in accordance
with North Carolina Plumbing Code Section 305 and laid so as to prevent damage or crushing
due to expected usage of the surface above.
Regardless of the variance approval, 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.

All other elements of this project shall be constructed in accordance with all applicable rules and statues
including, 15A NCAC 2T; the Division of Water Resources’ (Division) Gravity Sewer Minimum Design
Criteria adopted February 12, 1996, as applicable; and the Division’s Minimum Design Criteria for the
Fast-Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains adopted June 1, 2000, as applicable. Approval
of the variance request does not constitute approval of the permit.
