Re: Modification to Permit #WQ0044460 (Cambridge Park -Phase 3A & 3B)
Dear Jenny:
Enclosed you will find a modification to an existing permit #WQ0044460. This
modification is to only permit Phase 3A and to not include Phase 3B as originally
permitted. We will permit Phase 3B separately in the future. The flow allocation will now
be 21,300 GPD for 71 single family lots for sale. The original permit allocated 46,720
GPD for 146 lots. Items included in this package consists of, check for $480, FTA 04-16,
FTSE 01-16 and USGS Map. This project is called Cambridge Park Phase 3A, located on
Jones Drive in Mebane, NC. This project is served by an onsite gravity sewer system
(WQ0040482) flowing to a pump station (WQ0040510) then ultimately tying onto an
existing City of Mebane sewer system. Feel free to contact me with any questions or
comments.
Sincerely,

Subject: Residential Flow Reduction Approval
Mebane Collection System (WQCS00081)
City of Mebane
Alamance County
Dear Mr. Rollins:
On February 15, 2023, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received a request for an
adjusted daily sewage flow rate (flow reduction) that would apply to all permitted but not yet
tributary residential connections and all future residential connections within the City of Mebane
service area that flow to the City of Graham W WTP (NC0021211).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0114(f (2), the Division has evaluated the request, and
based on the data submitted, the Division hereby approves for use by the City of Mebane an
adjusted daily.sewage design flow rate with the following conditions:
• The flow reduction is applicable to residential single-family and multi -family dwellings
only.
• The minimum flow for 1- and 2- bedroom dwellings shall be 160 gallons per day.
• Each additional bedroom above two bedrooms shall increase the volume by 80 gallons
per day per bedroom.
• This flow reduction shall not apply to sewer extension applications and/or permits for any
other public or private organizations whose wastewater flows are or might become
tributary to the City of Mebane collection system (WQCS00081) and also flow to the
City of Graham WWTP (NC0021211).
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 adiusted 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).
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0114(f), the Division periodically requires reassessment of
wastewater flow data associated with the collection system or the receiving wastewater treatment
plant as applicable to confirm the suitability of the approved flow reduction value. The City of
Mebane shall submit documented representative data in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T
0114(D(1)(A-H) prior to January 31 2031. Failure to submit the required data by this date will
result in this flow reduction approval letter becoming null and void. Upon review of the data, the
Division shall either reapprove modify or not grant reapproval for the previously approved flow
reduction value.
The granting of this flow reduction does not prohibit the Division from reopening, revoking,
reissuing and/or modifying the flow reduction as allowed by the laws, rules, and regulations
contained in 15A NCAC 02T, NCGS 143-215.1, or as needed to address changes in State and/or
Federal regulations with respect to wastewater collection systems, protection of surface waters,
and/or wastewater treatment.
