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.

The utilities at Fearrington have been transferred from Fitch Creations, Inc. to Fearrington Utilities, LLC and Greg Fitch is the Manager. The Division has been notified of the name change for the Discharge Permit and the Collection System. Please update your records. 2. Granville will be a continuation of the housing types in Fearrington P.U.D. The houses proposed will be two or three bedroom units that may be permitted at 250 gpd / unit per the Flow Reduction Letter. Item 7 had "all 2 and 3 bedroom units" added. 3. Section IX.1 has been checked "yes". The proposed sewer meets all of the setback and separation requirements. 4. Section IX.4 has been changed to "yes". 5. An updated USGS Quad map with Granville Phase 1 added is attached. Also attached is the Master Sanitary Sewer Plan for Fearrington with Granville shown. 6. The Granville Phase 1 project does not have any stream or buffer impacts. The project site has been reviewed (delineated) by Chatham County Watershed Protection, NC Division of Water Resources, and the US Army Corps of Engineers to identify streams and wetlands. The project layout does not impact any streams, wetlands, or buffers per the delineations by the regulatory agencies. The project layout and lack of impacts was approved by the Chatham County Board of Commissioners during the Special Use Permit process for Granville Subdivision. 7. The FTSE form has been updated. The flow not tributary number was a typo. The actual average flow reflects recent flow numbers following the WWTP modification with new flow monitoring equipment. Attached is an updated form.

Fitch, President Fearrington Utilities 2000 Fearrington Village Pittsboro, NC 27312 Raleigh Regional Office Subject: Fearrington Utilities WWTP Permit No. NCO043559 Adjusted Daily Sewage Flow Design Rate Chatham County Dear Mr. Fitch. On January 19, 2007, the Division of Water Quality (Division) received a request from your consulting engineer, Diehl & Phillips, for an adjustment to the daily sewage flow design rates. This adjustment would apply to all permitted but not yet tributary connections and all future connections tributary to this facility in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0114(f). A flow adjustment to 70 gallons per day per bedroom was requested. The information provided was reviewed by the Division's Raleigh Regional Office, and additional information was provided by your engineer to the Raleigh Regional Office dated February 23, 2007 and March 28, 2007. In accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0114(f)(2), the Raleigh Regional Office has evaluated all the submitted data and considered other factors including weather conditions during the data period of November 2005 through October 2006, monitoring data for this facility and an analysis of flow reduction data for other facilities comparable to Fearrington. Based on the data submitted, the Division hereby approves the use by Fearnngton Utilities for the collection system described in Permit No. WQCS00238, and the treatment plant described in Permit No. NC0043559, an adjusted daily sewage design flow rate of 250 gallons per day per 1 to 3 bedroom single family dwelling, with an additional 70 gallons per day per each bedroom over 3 bedrooms, effective immediately. In granting this flow reduction, please be advised that the Division will not reissue any outstanding permits made prior to this flow reduction request. If reissued permits are desired, a permit modification request with the appropriate fee must be submitted for each permit to be so modified. Flow allocation and tracking files maintained by the Raleigh Regional Office will be updated for any flow being shown as not yet tributary to the WWTP. Future sewer extension applications should be made using the reduced flow amounts stated above. All other aspects of the permitting process remain unchanged, and all applications North Carolina Div,sion or Water Quality 1628 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1628 Phone (919) 791 a200 Internet wwtv.ruwattxnuaiitv.ore Location: 3800 Barrett Drive Raleigh, NC 27609 Fax (919) 5714718 An Equal Opporlu nitylAlfirmalive Aclion Employer - 50% Recyder:140 ; Post Consumer Paper W1f1'[i1& Customer Service 1.877-523.6748 NORTH CAROLINA PUBLIC STAFF U-111-1-FIES COMMISSION July 18, 2023 VIA ELECTRONIC MAIL Mr. Edward S.
