If the permit is issued to a private enfiN with an Operational Agreement then a copy of the Articles
of Incorporation, Declarations, and Bylaws that have been appropriately_ filed with the applicable
Countv's Register of Deeds office shall be submitted with the certification.
A complete certification is one where the form is fully executed and the supporting documents are
provided as applicable. Supporting documentation shall include the following:
a. One copy of the project construction record drawings (plan & profile views of sewer lines &
force mains) of the wastewater collection system extension. Record drawings are defined as
the design drawings that are marked up or annotated with after construction information and
show required buffers, separation distances, material changes, etc.
b. One copy of the supporting pump station design calculations (selected pumps, system curve,
operating point, buoyancy calculations, available storage if portable generator(s) or storage
greater than longest past three year outage reliability option selected) for any pump stations
permitted as part of this project.
c. Changes to the project that do not result in non-compliance with this permit, regulations, or
the Minimum Design Criteria should be clearly identified on the record drawings, on the
certification in the space provided, or in written summary form.
Prior to Certification (Final or Partial): Permit modifications are required for any changes resulting in
non-compliance with this permit (including pipe length increases of 107o or greater, increased flow,
pump station design capacity design increases of 57o or greater, and increases in the number/type
of connections), regulations, or the Minimum Design Criteria. Requested modifications or variances
to the Minimum Design Criteria will be reviewed on a case -by -case basis and each on its own merit.
Please note that variances to the Minimum Design Criteria should be requested and approved
during the permitting process prior to construction. After -construction requests are discouraged by
the Division and may not be approved, thus requiring replacement or repair prior to certification &
activation.
7. Gravity sewers installed greater than ten percent below the minimum required slope per the
Division's Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria shall not be acceptable and shall not be certified
until corrected. If there is an unforeseen obstacle in the field where all viable solutions have been
examined, a slope variance can be requested from the Division with firm supporting
documentation. This shall be done through a permit modification with fee. Such variance requests
will be evaluated on a case -by -case basis. Resolution of such request shall be evident prior to
completing and submitting the construction certification.
8. A copy of the construction record drawings and pump station designs, if applicable, shall be
maintained on file by the Permittee for the life of the wastewater collection facilities.
9. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit; 15A NCAC 2T; the
Division's Gravity Sewer Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996 as applicable; the Division's
Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Station and Force Mains adopted
June 1, 2000 as applicable; and other supporting materials may subject the Permittee to an
enforcement action by the Division, in accordance with North Carolina General Statutes § 143-
215.6A through § 143-215.6C.
10. 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.
11. The issuance of this permit shall not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes,
rules, regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by other government agencies (local, state
and federal) which have jurisdiction, including but not limited to applicable river buffer rules in 15A
NCAC 2B .0200, erosion and sedimentation control requirements in 15A NCAC Ch. 4 and under the

12. NON-COMPLIANCE NOTIF(cATicim
The Permittee shall verbally report to a Division of Water Quality staff member at the Wilmington
Regional Office, telephone number [phone], as soon as possible, but in no case more than
24 hours or on the next working day, following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence
of either of the following:
a. Any failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the system incapable of
adequate wastewater transport, such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, line
blockage or breakage, etc.; or
b. Any failure of a pumping station or sewer line resulting in a by-pass of any wastewater directly
to receiving waters from the station or sewer line.
Voice mail messages or faxed information is permissible, but shall NOT be considered as the initial
verbal report. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours may also be reported to
the Division of Emergency Management at telephone number [phone] or [phone].
Persons reporting any of the above occurrences shall file a spill report by completing Part I of Form
CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form), within five days following first knowledge of
the occurrence. This report shall outline the actions taken or proposed to ensure that the problem
does not recur. Part II of Form CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form) can also be
completed to show that the SSO was beyond control.
13. Each pump station including simplex stations shall be clearly and conspicuously posted with the
telephone number and name of the owner/operator of the sewer system and instructions to call
the number in the event of alarm activation.
14. The Permittee shall maintain on hand for immediate installation a supply of spare, fully operational
pump units of each simplex type used in the sewer system. The number of pumps on hand shall not
be less than two (2) percent of the number of installed units or one unit, whichever is greater.
15. A minimum of 90 gallons of storage capacity above the pump -on activation level to meet the
greater of the Permittee response time for service or the longest non -catastrophic power outage of
the previous three years for any simplex pump station serving a single family residence. This is based
on a three -bedroom residence. The Permittee is advised that since many of these residences
actually serve as 4 and 5 bedroom residences during the resort season, any overflows due to
inadequate storage will be subject to enforcement action.
16. The Permittee shall provide for the pump station and force main the following items:
a. Pump on/off elevations located so that 2-8 pumping cycles may be achieved per hour in
the pump station,
b. An air relief valve located at all high points along the force main,
C. A screened vent for the wetwell,
d. Fillets located in the wetwell at the intersection of the flooring and sidewalls,
e. Three feet of cover (minimum) over the force main or the use of ferrous material where
three feet cannot be maintained,
f. Sufficient devices which will protect the pump station from vandals, and
g. Flood protection if the pump station is located below the 100-year flood elevation.
17. The projects in this permit indicated to be for construction only of the wastewater collection facilities
must have flow allocation provided prior to activation. Flow allocation requires a permit
modification application to be submitted (with the appropriate fee), a modified permit be issued,
and the Engineer's Certification is received and approved by the Division.
