M. Certification Statement:
I PAUL M WEEKS JR., 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

Reference: Fast Track Application — Gravity Sewer Extension
City of Sanford Nash Street Sanitary Sewer Extension
CD
Sanford, North Carolina (Lee County)
Dear Mr. Smith:
Please find enclosed the application package for the Nash Street Sanitary Sewer Extension located
within the city limits of Sanford. The package includes the following items (original and one copy):
• Fast Track Sewer System Extension Application (FTA 04-16)
• $480 check for application fee
• Flow Tracking/Acceptance Form (FTSE — 04-16)
• USGS Map showing project location
• Google Earth Map showing project location
The purpose of this proposed project is to extend the City of Sanford sanitary sewer system to serve
two (2) existing residential properties that currently do not have access to municipal sewer. This
project, which is part of the City's sanitary sewer petition program, entails installation of
approximately 305 LF of 8-inch line (gravity) and one (1) manhole. The proposed sanitary sewer
extension will connect to the existing City of Sanford sewer main at an existing manhole.
Please do not hesitate to call with any comments or questions regarding this submittal.
Sincerely,
AJeremyy
