Re: Request for Permit Modification
Gravity Sewer Extensions to serve Section X Area F Fearrington P.U.D.
Chatham County WQ 0044684
Dear Reviewer:
Enclosed for your review are the following for the referenced project:
I. Revised Plans for WQ 0044684
2. Copy of WQ 0044684
3. Copy of FTA & FTSE for Modification
4. Map & Quad Sheet
5. $600.00 Review Fee
Al ANR.K11111.1'.1.
We request that you approve the proposed permit modification. The gravity sewer was
shortened from the original approved length (now 590 LF vs. 930 LF). The alignment of the
proposed sewer does not vary from the approved plans. The number of lots proposed has
decreased from 7 lots to 6 lots. The flow associated with the project is now 1,500 gallons per
day. Should you have questions or require further information, please contact our office.
Sincerely,
Diehl & Phillips, P.A.
