III. Certification Statement:
I Tom Johnson certify to the best of my knowledge that the addition of
the volume of wastewater to be permitted in this project has been evaluated along the route to the receiving
wastewater treatment facility and that the flow from this project is not anticipated to cause any capacity
related sanitary sewer overflows or overburden any downstream pump station en route to the receiving
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 II 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
works has adequate capacity to transport and treat the proposed new wastewater.

Submit a planning assessment addendum for each pump station listed in Section I1 where Available Capacity is < 0.
Pump Station (Name or Number):
Given that:
a. The proportion and amount of Obligated, Not Yet Tributary Daily Flow (C) accounts for
% and MGD of the Available Capacity (E) in Pump Station

b. The rate of activation of this obligated, not yet tributary capacity is currently approximately
MGD per year; and that
c. A funded Capital Project that will provide the required planned capacity, namely
is in design or under construction with
planned completion in ; and/or
d. The following applies:
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-

c. WWTP facility's permitted flow. MGD: From WWTP owner's NPDES or Non -Discharge permit.

that implement a pretreatment program, include flows allocated to industrial users who may not be using all of
their flow allocation. Please contact your Pretreatment Coordinator for information on industrial flow tributary
to your WWTP.
As of January 15, 2008 the POTW should have reviewed flow allocations made over the last two years and
reconciled their flow records, to the best of their ability, so it is known how much flow has been obligated and
is not yet been made tributary to the WWTP, in accordance with local policies and procedures employed by the
reporting entity.
e. WWTP facility's actual avg. flow. MGD: Previous 12 month average.
f. Total flow for this specific request, MGD: Enter the requested flow volume.
g. Total actual and obligated flows to the facility, MGD Equals [d + e + f]
It. Percent of permitted flow used: Equals [(g / c)* 100]
For example:
On January 15 a POTW with a permitted flow of 6.0 MGD, reported to the Regional Office that there is 0.5
MGD of flow that is obligated but not yet tributary. The annual average flow for 2007 is 2.7 MGD. There is a
proposed flow expansion of 0.015 MGD.
The fast Form FTSE submitted after January 15, 2008 may have numbers like this:
c. = 6.0 MGD
d. = 0.5 MGD
e. = 2.7 MGD
f. = 0.015 MGD

List the pump station name or number and approximate pump station firm capacity, approximate design average
daily flow (A) approximate current average daily flow (B), and the obligated, not yet tributary flow through the
pump station (C) for each pump station that will be impacted by the proposed sewer extension project. Calculate
the total current flow plus obligated flow (D=B+C) and the available capacity (E=A-D). Include the proposed flow
for this project with other obligated flows that have been approved for the pump station but are not yet tributary

Firm capacity is the maximum pumped flow that can be achieved with the largest pump out of service as per the
Minimum Design Criteria.
Design Average Daily Flow is the firm capacity of the pump station divided by a peaking factor (pf) of not less than
2.5.
If the available capacity (E) for any pump station is < 0, then prepare a planning assessment for that pump station
if the system has future specific plans related to capacity that should be considered in the permitting process.

Plannin¢ Assessment Addendum Instructions
Submit a planning assessment addendum for each pump station listed in Section 11 where available capacity is < 0.
A planning assessment for Kaw Creek PS (see example data above) may be performed to evaluate whether there is
significant likelihood that needed improvements or reductions in obligated flows will be in place prior to activating
the flows from the proposed sewer extension project.
If the system decides to accept the flow based on a planning assessment addendum, it is responsible to manage the
flow without capacity related sanitary overflows and must take all steps necessary to complete the project or control
the rate of flow to prevent sanitary sewer overflows.
The planning assessment may identify a funded project currently in design or construction, or a planned project in
the future not yet funded but in a formal plan adopted by the system. The system should carefully weigh the
certainty of successful timely project completion for any expansion, flow management diversion or infiltration and
inflow elimination projects that are the foundation of a planned solution to capacity tracking and acceptance
compliance.
For example:
Given that:
a. The proportion and amount of obligated, not yet tributary flow accounts for 24 % and 0.080 MGD of the
committed flow in Pump Station Kaw Creek; and that
b. The rate of activation of this obligated, not yet tributary capacity is currently approximately 0.01 MGD
per year; and that
c. A funded capital project that will provide the required planned capacity, namely
is in design or under construction with planned
completion in ; and/or
d. The following applies:
to the firm capacity of the pump station by October 2015. Inclusion of this proposed capital project as a condition
of this Flow Tracking/Acceptance for Sewer Extension Permit Application elevates this project's priori1y for
funding and construction to be implemented ahead of the activation of obligated, not yet tributary flows in amounts
that exceed the firm pump station capacities identified in Section 11 above.
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.

PROJECT NARRATIVE
This full project consists of approximately 1,248 LF of gravity sewer main
extension and will serve 39 total 3-bedroom townhome dwelling units. The first
154 LF leg of sewer will be owned & maintained by the City of Lexington and is
included with this application. The remaining 1,094' will be owned & maintained
by the Developer and is submitted as a separate package. The project is expected
to generate approximately 8,775 wastewater gallons per day, based on the 39
proposed units at 225 gal/day each. This Fast Track Sewer System Extension
Application submittal package includes the items below.
• APPLICATION FEE ($600.00)
• ORIGINAL FAST TRACK APPLICATION + 1 COPY
• FLOW TRACKING APPLICATION (COMPLETED BY CITY OF LEXINGTON)
• SITE MAPS (USGS TOPOGRAPHIC MAP & AERIAL MAP)

FAST TRACK SEWER SYSTEM EXTENSION APPLICATION
Division of Water Resources INSTRUCTIONS FOR FORM: FTA 10-23 & SUPPORTING DOCUMENTATION
This application is for sewer extensions involving gravity sewers, pump stations and force mains, or any combination that has been
certified by a professional engineer and the applicant that the project meets the requirements of 15A NCAC 02T and the Division's
