the Division of Emergency Management at telephone number (800) 858-0368 or (919) 733-3300.
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. [G.S. 143-215.1C(a1)]
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

7. Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of these permitted facilities, the completed
Engineering Certification form attached to this permit shall be submitted with the required supporting
documents to the address provided on the form. A complete certification is one where the form is
fully executed and the supporting documents are provided as applicable. Any wastewater flow made
tributary to the wastewater collection system extension prior to completion of this Engineer's
Certification shall be considered a violation of the permit and shall subject the Permittee to
appropriate enforcement actions.
If the permit is issued to a private entity with an Operational Agreement, then a copy of the Articles
of Incorporation, Declarations/Covenants/Restrictions, and Bylaws that have been appropriately
filed with the applicable County's Register of Deeds office shall be submitted with the certification.
A complete certification is one where the form is fully executed and the supporting documents are
provided as applicable. Supporting documentation shall include the following:
a. One copy of the project construction record drawings (plan & profile views of sewer lines & force
mains) of the wastewater collection system extension. Final record drawings should be clear on
the plans or on digital media (CD or DVD disk) and are defined as the design drawings that are
marked up or annotated with after construction information and show required buffers,
separation distances, material changes, etc.
b. One copy ofthe supporting applicable design calculations including pipe and pump sizing, velocity,
pump cycle times, and level control settings, pump station buoyancy, wet well storage, surge
protection, detention time in the wet well, and force main, ability to flush low points in force
mains with a pump cycle, and downstream sewer capacity analysis. If a portable power source or
pump is dedicated to multiple 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.
Page 6 of 8
c. Changes to the project that do not result in non-compliance with this permit, regulations, or the
Minimum Design Criteria should be clearly identified on the record drawings, on the certification
in the space provided, or in written summary form.
Prior to Certification (Final or Partial): Permit modifications are required for any changes resulting in
non-compliance with this permit (including 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), regulations, or the Minimum Design Criteria. Requested modifications or variances to
the Minimum Design Criteria will be reviewed on a case -by -case basis and each on its own merit.
Please note that variances to the Minimum Design Criteria should be requested and approved during
the permitting process prior to construction. After -construction requests are discouraged by the
Division and may not be approved, thus requiring replacement or repair prior to certification &
activation. [15A NCAC 02T .0116]
8. Gravity sewers installed greater than ten percent below the minimum required slope per the Division's
Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria shall not be acceptable and shall not be certified until
corrected. If there is an unforeseen obstacle in the field where all viable solutions have been
examined, a slope variance can be requested from the Division with firm supporting documentation.
This shall be done through a permit modification with fee. Such variance requests will be evaluated
on a case -by -case basis. Resolution of such request shall be evident prior to completing and submitting
the construction certification. [ 15A NCAC 02T.0105(n)]
9. A copy of the construction record drawings shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for the life of
the wastewater collection facilities. [15A NCAC 02T .0116]
10. Failure to abide by the conditions and limitations contained in this permit; 15A NCAC 2T; the Division's
Gravity Sewer Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996 and updated March 2008,
as applicable; the Division's Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Station
and Force Mains adopted June 1, 2000 and updated March 2008 as applicable; and other supporting
materials may subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division, in accordance with
North Carolina General Statutes §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. [15A NCAC 02T .0104; 15A NCAC 02T .0108(b-c)]
11. In the event that the wastewater collection facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those
as may be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement facilities.
[15A NCAC 02T .0110; 15A NCAC 02T .0108(b)]
12. The issuance of this permit shall not exempt the Permittee from complying with any and all statutes,
rules, regulations, or ordinances that may be imposed by the Division any other Federal, State, or Local
government agencies which have jurisdiction or obtaining other permits which may be required by
the Division or any other Federal, State, of Local government agencies. [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]

BRIAR CHAPEL DEVELOPMENT
Phase 16 North
March 21, 2018
PROJECT NARRATIVE
The purpose of the project is to construct lots in Phase 16 North of the Briar
Chapel Subdivision. The work includes roadway, public water utility, sanitary
sewer and storm drainage infrastructure to serve it. This phase includes 62 single
family residential lots. All lots will ultimately gravity flow to a previously permitted
pump station in the Phase 15 North area (Permit #WQ0038321). A pump station
for the western portion of the phase will be needed and will be submitted for
permits at a later date with the 4" force main being applied for in this submittal.
Per agreement with DWR as of September 30, 2013, a flow reduction was granted
for the Briar Chapel development for 56 gallons per day per bedroom. Based on a
letter issued to DWR by CE Group on behalf of the project, paper flow rates of 190
GPD/Home will be used moving forward on this project.
Average daily flow data provided in the attached FTSE is based on the highest
average daily flow reported in November 2017. Paper flow is determined based
on permitted lots which have not yet become tributary to the system, based on
sales data provided by the developer at the time of submittal.
Summary of Sewer Lines to be permitted:
• 1,693 LF of 8-inch PVC gravity sewer
• 707 LF of 8-inch DIP gravity sewer
• 1,210 LF of 4-inch DIP force main
Serving 62 lots @ 190/gpd/lot discharging 11,780 gpd.
The sewage and wastewater collected by this system will be treated in the on -site
wastewater treatment facility:

III. Certification Statement:
I Michael Myers (President) 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
plus all attached planning assessment addendums for which I am the responsible party.
