City of Southport
WKD Project No.20230870.00.WL
Dear Mr. Benson:
The City of Southport plans to construct approximately 9,000 linear feet of 8-inch sanitary sewer
force main in southeast Brunswick County. The force main will increase pumping capacity for the
Park Avenue Pump Station and alleviate flow to the Central Pump Station. Improvements to the
Park Avenue Pump Station are also planned and will be covered under a separate permit.
The proposed 8-inch force main alignment begins at the Park Avenue Pump Station on the north
side of Park Avenue Extension approximately 500 linear feet west of the intersection of East
Leonard Street(SR_1527).The force main will continue east along Park Avenue Extension towards
the intersection of SR-1527, turn north along SR-1527 until the intersection of SR-1527 and Rob
Gandy Boulevard (SR-1620), turn west along SR-1620, continue west along SR-1620 until the
intersection of SR-1620 and River Road SE (NC-87), turn south along NC-87, pass through easement
west of NC-87, and end in the NCDOT right-of-way of North Howe Street(NC-211)where it will
tie-in to an existing 12-inch force main.
We are requesting a Fast Track Sewer System Extension Permit to allow for construction of the
Evaluation and Rehabilitation of Wastewater System force main.
As part of this submittal, please find enclosed the following documents for the referenced permit
modification:
• One (1) original of the completed Fast Track Application(Form FTA 06-21)
• One (1) color copy of a USGS topographic map depicting the project area and closest
surface waters (Figure 1)
• One(1)color copy of a street-level map showing the project area(Figure 2)
• One (1) copy of the System-Wide Collection System Permit(WQC00137)

Brunswick County
Dear Mr Fox.
In accordance with your application received February 26, 2018, we are forwarding herewith Permit No
WQCS00137,dated March 26,2018,to the City of Southport forthe operation and maintenance of the subject
wastewater collection system
This permit shall be effective from March 26, 2018 until March 1, 2026 and shall be subject to the conditions
and limitations specified herein It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this permit.Please pay particular
attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit and any special conditions
Changes have been made to the boiler plate language of the permit Most of the changes are for clarification
purposes, however Condition I(3) has been removed The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
believes that condition was included erroneously in previous permits It was included based on proposed
rulemaking by EPA which was never promulgated and, in the continued absence of Federal regulations, DEQ
lacks authority to include such language in a permit DEQ will continue to exercise enforcement discretion
when evaluating sanitary sewer overflows that may be considered to be beyond the reasonable control of the
Permittee. A highlighted copy of the permit identifying the changes made is available at:
http•//ncdenr s3 amazonaws com/s3fs-
public/Water%20QualityLSu_r_face%20Water%2OProtection/PEEKS/WCS%20(Collection%2OSystem)/Updated
%20WQCS%20Template%2015.05.18%20(highlightedl.pdf
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly installed system
extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a separately owned
sewer system The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations,force mains, low pressure
sewer systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc and associated piping, valves and appurtenances that
help to collect, manage and transport wastewater to a wastewater treatment plant under the Permittee's
ownership or maintained and operated by the Permittee through a perpetual legal agreement Satellite
systems are systems tributary to the Permittee's collection system but those collection systems are not owned
or maintained by the Permittee.The system description provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant to provide
a general idea about the size of the system and may not be all inclusive of the collection system at the time of
permit issuance or afterward.

City of Southport Collection System
March 26, 2018
A discharge of wastewater to the environment from the Permittee's wastewater collection system prior to
reaching the wastewater treatment facilities is referred to herein as a Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) The
evaluation of enforcement options after an SSO will be determined considering all relevant information
available or requested of the Permittee Compliance with all conditions of the permit as well as all statutes
and regulations pertaining to the wastewater collection system must be maintained or appropriate
enforcement actions may be taken as noted in Condition VI(2).
A reportable SSO is an SSO greater than 1,000 gallons to the ground or an SSO of any amount that reaches
surface water(including through ditches,storm drains, etc ) Reporting requirements including the required
verbal report and written report to the appropriate regional office are referenced in Condition IV(2). Form
CS-550 can be downloaded from the SSO Reporting area at

SSO(2015) doc
A notice of deficiency (NOD), notice of violation (NOV), civil penalty, and/or a moratorium on the addition of
waste to the system may be issued if adequate justification for an SSO is NOT submitted to the regional office
In order to submit a claim for justification of an SSO, you must use Part II of form CS-SSO with additional
documentation as necessary DWR staff will review the justification claim and determine if enforcement
action is appropriate Please be advised that the information needed to justify a spill is very comprehensive
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to
request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty days following the receipt of this permit.
