In accordance with NCDEQ Permit No. WQ0039456 dated September 1, 2017, approximately 650 LF-8" private
gravity sewer was relocated, and new flow was allocated for a new 264 inmate County Jail on Government Drive
in Morganton, North Carolina.
This project will consist of approximately+/-610 LF— 8" private gravity sewer relocation and related
appurtenances, which will connect to an existing 8" public gravity sanitary sewer near Interstate 40.
No new sewage flow from this project will be added to the existing system.

I Brad Boris 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 certifies that the receiving collection system or treatment
works has adequate capacity to transport and treat the proposed new wastewater.

following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of either of the following:
Page 5 of 9

a. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that renders the facility
incapable of adequate wastewater transport, such as mechanical or electrical failures of
pumps, line blockage or breakage, etc.; or
b. Any SSO and/or spill over 1,000 gallons; or
c. Any SSO and/or spill, regardless of volume, that reaches surface water
Voice mail messages or faxed information is permissible, but this shall not be considered as the
initial verbal report. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours may also be
reported to the Division of Emergency Management at telephone number [phone] 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 11 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
to the surface waters of the State. [15A NCAC 02T.0108(b)]
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 of the 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, include travel
timeframes, shall be provided.
Page 6 of 9

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. 115A 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 as applicable; the Division's
Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Station and Force Mains adopted
June 1, 2000 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 maybe required
by the Division or any other Federal, State, of Local government agencies. [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
