Dear Mr. Czar:
In accordance with your permit application received February 17, 2005, we are forwarding herewith
Permit No. WQ0024909, dated February 28, 2005, to the City of Sanford for the construction and
operation of the subject wastewater collection system extension. This permit shall be effective from the
date of issuance until rescinded, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified
therein. This cover letter shall be considered a part of this permit and is therefore incorporated therein
by reference.
Please pay particular attention to Permit Condition 3 which requires that the wastewater collection
facilities be properly operated and maintained in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0227 or any individual
system-wide collection system permit issued to the Permittee.
Permitting of this project does not constitute an acceptance of any part of the project that does not meet
15A NCAC 2H .0200; 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.
