Engineering Professional Corporation on behalf of Novo Nordisk, an alternative
design is granted for the continued construction and operation of the previously
permitted 8-inch gravity sewers designated as SS-STEAM, SSC-2, and SSD for the
subject project. Due to low velocities resulting from decreases in design flow from
the initial design process to the final as-built project,the approved alternative design
allows for the installation of the above gravity sewers with the following condition:
i. The Permittee shall designate these sections of line as high priority sewers,and
in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T.0403(a)(5),these sections shall be inspected
by the permittee or its representative at least once every six months and
inspections shall be documented.
b. Pursuant to the documentation submitted with the previous modification of this
permit, the proposed duplex grinder pump station is exempt from the requirement
to install and maintain a telemetry system per 15A NCAC 02T.0305(h)(1)(E). Per the
submitted plans and specifications,the pump station shall:
1
i. Install and maintain audible and visual alarms per 15A NCAC 02T.0305(h)(1)(F) ,
in an area that is noticeable to the on-site personnel at the guard station
located nearby,which shall be manned 24 hours per day/7 days per week/365
days per year.
ii. Install and maintain emergency contact signage per 15A NCAC 02T.0305(h)(2).
This requirement shall be met via the modification(s) as required by Condition
