III. Certification Statement:
I Chandra C. Farmer, P.E. 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. Signature of this
form indicates acceptance of this wastewater flow.

)E' TSE PLANNING ASSESSMENT ADDENDUM (PAA)
Submit a planning assessment addendum for each pump station listed in Section II where Available
Capacity is < 0.
Pump Station (Name or Number):
Given that:
a. The proportion and amount of Obligated, Not Yet Tributary Daily Flow (C) accounts for
100 % and 0 MOD of the Available Capacity (E) in Pump Station
Buffalo Creek ; and that
b. The rate of activation of this obligated, not yet tributary capacity is currently approximately
0.001 MOD per year; and that
c. A funded Capital Project that will provide the required planned capacity, namely
Buffalo Creek WWPS Upgrade & FM is in design or under construction with
planned completion in 2020 ' ; and/or
d. The following applies:
The Buffalo Creek WWPS is currently rated at 2980 GPM. It has a permitted capacity of
1,716,480 gpd and a firm capacity of4,291,200 gpd. The average metered flow to the
station is 2,038,465 gpd. A project is slated to be completed in 2020 that wiII increase the
capacity of the station to 5,000 gpm, 7,200,000 gpd of firm capacity and 2,880,000 gpd of
permitted capacity.
Therefore:
Given reasonably expected conditions and planning information, there is sufficient justification to
allow this flow to be permitted, without a significant likelihood of over -allocating capacity in the
system infrastructure.
I understand that this does not relieve the collection system owner &•om complying with G.S. 143-
2I5.67(a) which prohibits the introduction of any waste in excess of the capacity of the waste
disposal system.

Residential Flow Reduction Approval
Johnston County
Dear Mr. Broome.
On February 22, 2005, the Division of Water Quality received a flow reduction request for
residences in Johnston County. The letter requests an allowable flow rate of 80 GPD per residential
bedroom based on the evaluated data for three similar existing subdivisions.
The water use data provided between November 2003 and October 2004 with daily readings
taken during November 2004 was analyzed by central office and regional office staff with additional
mfc.^ -na;icn m quested. Based upon this data and the County response to our addttio� gal inforr iauon
requests, the Division hereby approves the use of 80 GPD per residential bedroom, with a minimum
of 160 gpd for one and two bedroom units in all applicable non -discharge permit applications
Flow shall be incremented by 801gpd for each bedroom above two. Regardless of the adjusted
design daily wastewater flow rate, at no time shall the wastewater flows exceed the effluent limits
defined in the NPDES permit for the treatment facility or exceed the caDacity of the sewers
downstream of any new sewer extension or service connection(s). A permit modification and fee is
required to apply this flow reduction to any existing permits where flows have been allocated.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please contact Marie Doklovic
at [phone] ext. 371.
Sincerely,
rAlan W Klimek, P.E.

Re: Proposed Sewer Allocation on Buffalo Road
Dear Mr. Scott:
Johnston County has received a copy of the letter from Donnie Adams, PE dated June 26, 2018
requesting sewer allocation for the Buffalo Road Tract (East River). It is the County's understanding that
the proposed project will discharge wastewater into the existing 24" gravity sewer main along Buffalo
Road (currently owned by Johnston County). The existing 24" gravity sewer main receives flow from the
Town of Smithfield and other County bulk customers. Per our prior communication, the 24" gravity
sewer main has capacity for up to 350,000 gallons per day from the Town of Smithfield.
Futhermore, the County owns and operates the downstream facilities for transmission to the
wastewater treatment plant. The County's downstream wastewater pump station (Buffalo Creek
WWPS) is currently at capacity. However, the County has a project under design to increase the Buffalo
WWPS capacity with construction expected to begin in the fall of 2018. Construction is expected to be
completed during the summer of 2019. The existing project will provide sufficient capacity for at least
the first three phases of the proposed development. Furthermore, the County has future projects
included in the approved Capital Improvements Plan to allow for additional wastewater capacity to
accommodate future flows from the Town of Smithfield.
Please contact me at [phone] or chandra.fit rmer@lahnstonnc _cold if you have any questions or
need additional information.

Jason and Ted,
The project under design has been slightly delayed, due to downstream conditions changing with master
planning. However, the County has not experienced any problems with the existing wastewater pump station
(Buffalo WWPS), and the proposed flow is an insignificant amount compared to the entire station daily
flow. The station's firm capacity can handle the additional flow from Phase 1 with no problems. The station
upstream (Selma WWPS & EQ facility) of the Buffalo wastewater pump station is an equalization facility that can
be used to manage flows to the Buffalo station. We, therefore, request Phase 1(9,600 gpd) be allowed to be
permitted. However, future phases should be held until the station upgrades are completed.
Thanks,
Chandra

Thanks for the response Ted.
The addendum that was provided with the flow -tracking sheet describes the 2020 date.
Chandra, can you provide an update on the anticipated completion date of the upgrades to the Buffalo Creek
PS?
I'll need to talk with co-workers, but we may consider including a special condition in the application that the
proposed East River sewerline will not be able to be put into operation until the upgrades to Buffalo Creek PS
are complete and an Engineering Certification for that project has been received by this office, since it is
currently 430,000 gallons over design capacity.
Thanks,
Jason

Subject: [External] RE: East River Phase 1- Sewer Application
Jason,
Good afternoon and thanks for getting back to me with this.
The Town and the Consultant will be sure to include the flow reduction letter on ALL future submittals. As things
are now, the request was for 40 units at 360 GPD ]3-bedroom), totaling 14,400 GPD. If the reduction is taken

into consideration, the request would actually be 40 units @ 240 GPD, for a total of 9,600 GPD. Something
consider...
As to the timing of the subdivision: I am confident the developer will be looking to break ground at his earliest
opportunity — but I cannot speak for him to pinpoint any exact time frame. The first phase (40 units) will likely
seek to build this Spring (2019) and sell as soon as possible. To that end, we requested availability from the
County at the downstream Buffalo Creek pump station for the first phase, only. The attached letter references
the County approval for this request. According to the letter, the County is looking to upgrade this lift station,
with construction ending by summer of 2019, rather than the 2020 date you referenced. The 2019 timing should
work well with the developer, as Phase 1 will be under construction at that time.
I hope I have addressed your concerns.
Thank you for your time in this matter.

Subject: East River Phase 1 - Sewer Application
Ted,
We are reviewing the referenced sewer extension application and have the following questions:
1. Section Vi.6 was checked "yes" for flow reduction, but a copy of the flow reduction approval was not
included, as it required by this section. In the future, please make sure to include the attached flow
reduction letter in application submittals.
As shown on the flow tracking form, the downstream Buffalo Creek pump station currently doesn't have
the available capacity for this proposed project. The pump station has -0.43 MGD capacity (this should
be shown on the form, instead of a T"). The addendum states that this pump station is being upsized,
but the upsize isn't slated to be completed until 2020. Do you not plan on putting the East River Phase 1
Project into operation until improvements to the Buffalo Creek PS are complete?
Thanks,
Jason
