Permit No. NCO069311
Franklin County
Dear Mr. Doherty:
N O V 2 9 2023
On July 26, 2023, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received your request for an adjusted daily
sewage flow rate (flow reduction) that would apply to all Franklin County Public Utilities permitted but
not yet tributary residential connections and all future residential connections tributary to this facility.
The request to include Youngsville and Franklinton, which were excluded from the flow reduction
approval issued to Franklin County Public Utilities on August 19, 2008, and for the reduction to apply to
the entire Franklin County owned operating system has been approved.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0114(f)(2), the Division has evaluated the request, and based on the
data submitted and the Division of Water and Infrastructure (DWI) guidance, the Division hereby
approves for use by Franklin County Public Utilities, an adjusted dally sewage design flow rate of 250
gallons per day per single-family dwelling, effective immediately. This flow reduction shall be
applicable to existing permits with flows not yet tributary to the Franklin County collection system and
all future permits issued to Franklin County Public Utilities.
Future sewer extension applications should be made using the flow reduction amount stated above. All
other aspects of the permitting process remain unchanged, and all applications must be in compliance
with the statutes, rules, regulations and minimum design criteria as certified by the owner and engineer.
Regardless of the adjusted design daily wastewater flow rate, at no time shall the wastewater flows
exceed the effluent limits defined in the permit for the treatment facility or exceed the capacity of the
sewers downstream of any new sewer extension or service connection(s).
