Construct, and then operate upon certification the aforementioned wastewater collection extension.
The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the Pluriss, LLC Wastewater
Treatment Facility (NC0005849).
Permitting of this project does not constitute an acceptance of any part of the project that does not
meet 15A NCAC 2T; the Division's 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.
Construction and operation is contingent upon compliance with the Standard Conditions
I. SPECIAL CONDITIONS
1. The abandonment of any existing wastewater facilities including force mains being replaced by new sewer
infrastructure shall be done in accordance with the applicable agency having compliance oversight on such
facilities.
II. STANDARD CONDITIONS
1. 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.
2. This permit shall become voidable unless the wastewater collection facilities are constructed in accordance

Docusign Envelope ID: D41FD6F8-CCE7-4FA6-8E2D-DFD5084EFC6B
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 SSO and/or spill over 1,000 gallons; or
c. Any SSO and/or spill, regardless of volume, that reaches surface water
Voice mail messages or faxed information is permissible, but this shall not be considered as the initial verbal
report. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours may also be reported to the Division of
Emergency Management at telephone number [phone] or [phone]. Persons reporting any of
the above occurrences shall file a spill report by completing and submitting Part I of Form CS-SSO (or the most
current Division approved form) within five days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must
outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur. Part II of Form
CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form) can also be completed to show that the SSO was beyond
control.
6. 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.
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 certifying that the

resulting in non-compliance with this permit (including but no limited to pipe length increases of 10% or
greater, increased flow, pump station design capacity design increases of 5% or greater, and increases in the
number/type of connections), or regulations. After -construction requests are discouraged by the Division and

12. The Permittee shall provide for the pump station and force main the following items:
a. Pump Station Reliability:

capability may be utilized. It shall be demonstrated to the Division that the portable source is
owned or contracted by the permittee and is compatible with the station. If the portable power
source or pump is dedicated to multiple pump stations, an evaluation of all the pump stations'
storage capacities and the rotation schedule of the portable power source or pump, including
travel timeframes, shall be provided in the case of a multiple station power outage.

notification of a problem condition to include power failure and high water alarm.
c. High water audio and visual alarm.
d. Pump stations shall have a permanent weatherproof sign stating the pump station identifier, 24-hour
emergency number and instructions to call in case of emergency. Simplex pump or vacuum stations
