WQ0044968), issued on 1-10-24 via email. Review Comments 1. Please provide a basic sewer flow schematic indicating where the gravity sewers will be and where it es -in with the downstream gravity sewer. It can be fairly simplistic (I-ve attached an example). Response: Updated USGS map included in resubmittal. 2. Does Sanford have a permit number for the downstream gravity sewer (indicated as 15-inch GS on Part V. of the application)? Response: The permit number is unknown and an email from the City as proof indicating so. 3. Could you reconfirm the absence of aerial sewer lines (Part IX.7. of the application)? Response: Aerial Sewer is part of plan. Sheets included as well as update to application. 4. Pursuant to Secon 18.1.(e) of SL 2023-137, there is a proposed new design flow rate of 75 gallons per day/bedroom rate for permits issued on or after November 1, 2023. You may modify the flow in Part VI.7 and 8 to reflect 75 gpd/bedroom. Just be aware that portion of the application should be corrected and a new FTSE submitted/signed reflecting the new project flow. + Response: Application updated.

Our records do go far enough back to know the downstream permit number. In my experience, that line has been left blank when the permit number is not known. The City will sign a permit submitted with the 75 gpd/bdrm.

WQ0044968) Hi Mary — We received a few NCDEQ comments related to the Westford (aka Carthage) project in Sanford that we'll need a little feedback from the City please. Below are a few screen shots from the FTA form missing information. Also at the very bottom is a quick Vicinity map to help orient oneself to which project this is within the City — we have a lot of concurrent projects! Need Permit Number in #1 please (screenshot below) <image004.jpg> Also, at 4-bedrooms this project was still calculated at 120gpm, rather than the 75gpm. I can make the change and swap the sheet out if the Town is ok with that? It would now be 300 gal / 115 units / 34,500 GPD. Or do you need the full FTA application to resign? Please let me know how you wish to proceed. <i m age005. j pg> There is a time frame to resubmit back to the State, which is February 10, otherwise we start over and the Client will need to pay another fee. <image006.jpg> Kind Regards, Sondra Janssen Project Manager TIMMONS GROUP I http://www.timmons.com 5410 Trinity Rd., Suite 102 1 Raleigh, NC 27607 Office: 919.532.3237 1 Fax: 919.859.5663 Mobile: 408.506.58501 sondra Janssentimmons com Your Vision Achieved Through Ours To send me files greater than 20MB click here From: Wilson, Susan A <susan.wilson@deg.nc.eov> Sent: Wednesday, January 10, 202410:06 AM To: Allison Stone <allison.stone@timmons.com> Cc: Paul Weeks <paul.weeks@sanfordnc.net>; Depina, Mary <marv.depina@sanfordnc.net> Subject: Fast Track Sewer Extension Permit Application - Westford (ref.

Hi Allison - I've given this application an initial review. 1-----•- WillWill he ARd -••- 2. Does Sanford have a permit number for the downstream gravity sewer (indicated as 15-inch GS on Part V. of the application)? E�.r_,.rr_rtF� 4. Pursuant to Section 18.1.(e) of SL 2023-137, there is a proposed new design flow rate of 75 gallons per day/bedroom rate for permits issued on or after November 1, 2023. You may modify the flow in Part V1.7 and 8 to reflect 75 gpd/bedroom. lust be aware that portion of the application should be corrected and a new USE submitted/signed reflecting the new project flow. Please provide the above information within 30 days. if additional information/corrected application is not received within 30 days, your application will be returned, and you will need to resubmit along with the fee [ref. 15A NCAC 02T.0107(e)(2)].

Technically, IX.4. is in the Cape Fear River Basin that is subject to buffer rules (Jordan Lake drainage). I realize the way the question is worded is a bit confusing. But if you could submit a revised page I will put it into the application if Paul is OK with that. Check yes, Cape Fear/Jordan; then check yes, as it complies since it is outside of the Jordan drainage area. Also — I've looked at the aerial crossing, but if you could review and confirm again that this will meet the minimum design criteria, as listed below. DWR will put language in the permit requiring more frequent inspections (upon completion) for Sanford. F. Aerial Crossings 1. Proper joint technology, such as flanged or restrained, -adequate supports to prevent excessive flexion, or a combination of both shall be provided for all aerial pipe crossings. Supports shall be designed to prevent frost heave, overturning, and settlement. 2. precautions against freezing. such as insulation acid increased slope, shall be provided. Expansion jointing shall be provided between above ground and below ground sewers. Where buried sewers change to aerial sewers, special construction techniques shill be used to minimize heaving. , For aerial stream crossings, the impact of flood waters and debris shall be considered. The bottom of the pipe should be placed no lower than the elevation of the 25 year flood. Ductile iron pipe with mechanical joints shall be required. In the event that the 25 year Ilood elevation can net be determined or the proposed gravity sewer most be placed below the 25 year flood elevation, a letter shall be provided by the applicant upon certification stating: "Regular and proper inspection and maintenance of the aerial crossing shall be provided to insure that the creeklstrearn flow is not impeded and that no damage will be caused to upstream or adjacent properties." Thanks everyone! I'll be getting this up for review, but waiting on this information to finalize. Let me know if you have any questions.
