This adjustment would apply to all permitted but not yet tributary connections and all future connections tributary to this facility in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0114(f). A flow adjustment to 70 gallons per day per bedroom was requested. The information provided was reviewed by the Division's Raleigh Regional Office, and additional information was provided by your engineer to the Raleigh Regional Office dated February 23, 2007 and March 28, 2007. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0114(f)(2), the Raleigh Regional Office has evaluated all the submitted data and considered other factors including weather conditions during the data period of November 2005 through October 2006, monitoring data for this facility and an analysis of flow reduction data for other facilities comparable to Fearrington. Based on the data submitted, the Division hereby approves the use by Fearrington Utilities for the collection system described in Permit No. WQCS00238, and the treatment plant described in Permit No. NC0043559, an adjusted daily sewage design flow rate of 250 gallons per day per 1 to 3 bedroom single family dwelling, with an additional 70 gallons per day per each bedroom over 3 bedrooms, effective immediately. In granting this flow reduction, please be advised that the Division will not reissue any outstanding permits made prior to this flow reduction request. if reissued permits are desired, a permit modification request with the appropriate fee must be submitted for each permit to be so modified. Flow allocation and tracking files maintained by the Raleigh Regional Office will be updated for any flow being shown as not yet tributary to the WWTP. Future sewer extension applications should be made using the reduced flow amounts stated above. All other aspects of the permitting process remain unchanged, and all applications 1NporeCarolina Naturally North Carolina Division of Water Quality 1628 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1628 Phone (919) 791-4200 Customer Service tnternet: www.ncwaterquaiity org Location: 3800 Barrett Drive Raleigh, NC 27609 Fax (919) 571-4718 1-877-623-0748 An Equal OpporluMylAffirmative Action Employer— 50% Recycled110% Post Consumer Paper Mr Roy B.
