Part III. CRITERIA FOR DETERMINATION OF ADEQUACY. 1) METHOD AND CRITERIA FOR DETERMINING AVAILABILITY AND ADEQUACY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES No determination as to compliance with this Section shall be recommended by the Administrator or rendered by the approving agency unless Public Facilities within the Impact Areas set forth in Column (C) of Table 2 are: · adequate, as measured by the adopted level of service ("LOS"), as set forth in this Part III and Column (B) of Table 2; and · available, as set forth in this Part III and Column (D) of Table 2. 2) ADOPTED LEVEL OF SERVICE ("LOS") STANDARDS (ADEQUACY OF PUBLIC FACILITIES). Compliance with Level of Service ("LOS") standards shah be measured for each Public Facility set forth in Column (A) of Table 2 in accordance with the corresponding standards set forth in Column (B) of Table 2. The LOS for each application for development approval shall be measured within the impact area set forth in Column (C) of Table 2 for each corresponding facility in Column (A). Column (D) of Table 2 indicates whether Programmed Capital Improvements may be included in determining whether the improvements are available. Rules for interpretation of Table 2 are set forth in this Part III. 3) WATER. Water requirements shall not apply to agricultural uses. The water standard applies to water supply and water treatment needed to accommodate the gallons per capita per day (gpcd) generated by residential and non-residential uses. Usage figures and capital improvement planning are taken fi:om the Black and Veatch International Company, WSACC Water and Wastewater Master Plan (2001) which document is incorporated herein as reference and made part of this Ordinance. Flow rates used to estimate the demand produced by the proposed development shall comply with 15A NCAC § 18C.0409, which is hereby incorporated by reference and made a part of this Ordinance, unless a different standard is identified in any Local Water Supply Plan for the service area adopted pursuant to NCGS § 143-55(1), in which case the flow rates identified for the particular use in the Water Supply Plan may be used. If the category of development proposed in the application is not identified in the above-referenced regulations, the professional engineer shall use the applicable industry and manufacturer's standards to calculate average and peak daily flows and demands, in gallons per day. The capacity for elevated storage and distribution systems shall comply with 15A NCAC § 18C.0805 to 18C.0901, which regulations are hereby incorporated by reference. Approval through the Adequate Facilities Process outlined in this section shall in no manner imply approval of required distribution systems. 4) WASTEWATER. The wastewater standard applies to wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), interceptor sewers, and pumping stations. The standard for source facilities applies only to treatment capacity legally reserved for usage by WSACC. Demand figures and capital improvement planning are taken fi:om the Black and Veatch International Company, WSACC Water and Wastewater Master Plan (2001) which document is incorporated herein as reference and made part 'of this Ordinance. Flow rates used to estimate the demand produced by the proposed development shall be consistent with 15A NCAC 18A. 1949 (Sewage Flow Rates for Design Units), as said section may be revised fi:om time to time. If the category of development proposed in the application is not identified in 15A NCAC 18A. 1949, the professional engineer shall use the applicable industry and manufacturer's standards to calculate average and peak daily flows and demands, in gallons per day. Approval through the Adequate Facilities Process outlined in this section shall in no manner imply approval of required interceptor and collection systems. 7
