In accordance with your permit modification application received June 26, 2008, we are forwarding

• This modification changes the total length of installed sewer and the number of dwellings for which flow
is allocated.
Please pay particular attention to Permit Condition 3 that requires that the wastewater collection
facilities be properly operated and maintained in accordance with 15A NCAC 2T .0403 or any individual
system-wide collection system permit issued to the Permiee. Your attention is also directed to Permit
Condition 6 that requires Engineering Certification prior to operation of this collection system
extension.
Permitting of this project does not constitute an acceptance of any part of the project that does not meet
15A NCAC 2T; the Division of Water Quality's (Division) Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria
adopted February 12, 1996 as applicable; and the Division's Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast-
Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains adopted June 1, 2000 as applicable, unless
specifically mentioned herein. Division approval is based on acceptance of the certification provided by
a North Carolina-licensed Professional Engineer in the application. It shall be the Permittee's
responsibility to ensure that the as-constructed project meets the appropriate design criteria and rules.
Failure to comply may result in penalties in accordance with North Carolina General Statute §143-
215.6A through §143-215.6C, construction of additional or replacement wastewater collection facilities,
and/or referral of the North Carolina-licensed Professional Engineer to the licensing board.

(Division) Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996 as applicable; the
Division's Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast-Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force
Mains adopted June 1, 2000 as applicable; and other supporting materials unless specifically
mentioned herein.
2. This permit shall be effective only with respect to the nature and volume of wastes described in the
application and other supporting data.
• 3. The wastewater collection facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times. The
Permittee shall maintain compliance with an individual system-wide collection system permit for the
operation and maintenance of these facilities as required by 15A NCAC 2T .0403. If an individual
permit is not required, the following performance criteria shall be met as provided in 15A NCAC 2T
.0403:
a. The sewer system shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times to prevent
discharge to land or surface waters, and any contravention of the groundwater standards in

b. A map of the sewer system shall be developed and shall be actively maintained.
c. An operation and maintenance plan shall be developed and implemented.
d. Pump stations that are not connected to a telemetry system shall be inspected every day (i.e.
365 days per year). Pump stations that are connected to a telemetry system shall be
inspected at least once per week.
e. High-priority sewer lines shall be inspected at least once per every six-month period of time.
f, A general observation of the entire sewer system shall be conducted at least once per year.
g. Inspection and maintenance records shall be maintained for a period of at least three years.

4. This permit shall not be transferable. In the event there is a desire for the wastewater collection
• facilities to change ownership, or there is a name change of the Permittee, a formal permit request
shall be submitted to the Division accompanied by documentation from the parties involved, and
other supporting materials as may be appropriate. The approval of this request shall be
considered on its merits and may or may not be approved.

5. Construction of the gravity sewers, pump stations, and force mains shall be scheduled so as not to
interrupt service by the existing utilities nor result in an overflow or bypass discharge of wastewater
to the surface waters of the State.
6. Per 15A NCAC 2T .0116, upon completion of construction and prior to operation of these •
permitted facilities, the completed Engineering Certification form attached to this permit shall be
submitted with the required supporting documents to the address provided on the form. A
complete certification is one where the form is fully executed and the supporting documents are
provided as applicable. Gravity sewers installed below the minimum required slope per the
Division's Gravity Sewer Minimum Desion 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.
7. A copy of the construction record drawings shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for the life
of the wastewater collection facilities.
8. 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.
9. 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.
10. 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 Division's General Permit NCG010000, and any requirements pertaining to wetlands
under 15A NCAC 28 .0200 and 15A NCAC 2H .0500.

the next working day, following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of either of the
following:
a. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the facility 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 directly to receiving waters
without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to such station or facility.
Initial voice mail messages or faxed information shall not be considered as the initial verbal report. •
