Blythe Creek Grinder Pump Eliminations
Union County
Dear Water Quality Reviewer:
On behalf of Union County Public Works we are submitting a Fast Track
Sewer System Extension Application (FTA 04-16) for modification to Existing
Permit #WQ0039438 - Blythe Creek Grinder Pump Eliminations project.
Union County Public Works decided to revise the design to someday
accommodate existing flow from an existing wastewater pump station
currently discharging to a different location. As a result, the lengths of the
various diameter gravity sewers have changed as shown below:

I IsMN -C:+tuT4-4' certify to the best of my knowledge that the addition of
the volume of wastewater to be permitted in this project has been evaluated along the route to the
receiving wastewater treatment facility and that the flow from this project is not anticipated to
cause any capacity related sanitary sewer overflows or overburden any downstream pump station
en route to the receiving treatment plant under normal circumstances, given the implementation
of the planned improvements identified in the planning assessment where applicable. This
analysis has been performed in accordance with local established policies and procedures using
the best available data. This certification applies to those items listed above in Sections I and II
