This letter acknowledges receipt of six (6) sets of plans for the above re^encea project,'Wl i
have completed our review of this project and have found it to be apparently satisfactory,CiO
plans have been stamped "approved for construction".
This letter with the enclosed construction plans bearing our stamp constitutes approval by the
Commissioner of the Tennessee Department of Conservation and Environment for construction
of water facilities. Approval for water facilities is granted in accordance with the Water Quality
Control Act of 1977 and Regulations of the Water Quality Board. Approval expires one (I) year
from the stamped approval date unless construction is either underway or complete.
Approval of these construction documents should not be construed as a permit for any activities
related to this project. Activities which may require a permit under the WQC Act and
Regulations include, but are not limited to, the following: stream bank vegetation removal; creek
crossing(s) for equipment or utility lines; construction within twenty (20) feet of a stream bank;
or construction in or near a marshy area or wetland. The Natural Resources Section of the
Division of Water Pollution Control (615/532-0625) should be contacted for determinations
regarding an NPDES permit or an Aquatic Resource Alteration Permit (ARAP) for those
activities that may result in degradation of waters of the state.
Cleveland Utilities is retaining two (2) copies of the plan for our records located in the Johnston
Estates subdivision file and forwarding one (1) copy to the Department of Environment and
Conservation, Municipal Facilities Section of the Division of Water Supply in Nashville.
Three (3) copies of the approved plan are attached. A set of the approved plans must be kept on
the job site during construction. Cleveland Utilities requires that prior to the beginning of
construction work our office must be notified so inspection of the project can be maintained.
Cleveland Utilities will notify the Chattanooga Basin Field Office prior to the start of the
construction project.

Deviations from the approved plans must be submitted to Cleveland Utilities for approval prior
to any changes being made. A licensed contractor in Tennessee must complete all waterline
construction work. The contractor must be approved by Cleveland Utilities prior to the
beginning of any work. All work is to be done in accordance with the latest set of Cleveland
Utilities Water and Sewer Specifications.
The developer/owner of all subdivisions in Cleveland, Bradley County Tennessee has the
responsibility of locating and coordinating installation of water and sewer lines with other
utilities until all utilities are fully installed. No meters shall be set in a subdivision/development
until all fire hydrants and post hydrants are plumb with break aways at proposed ground level
(i.e. fire hydrants should not lean to one side and not stand too high or low). All gate valve
boxes should be level with final elevations. The developer/owner must submit as-built drawings,
on reproducible mylar film, of the completed waterline construction. Failure to submit as-built
drawings shall be cause to refuse to accept application for service to any lots in the development.
After the proposed waterline is installed and tested (Pressure & Bacteriological), it is the
developer's responsibility to contact Cleveland Utilities to pay the prevailing fee for Long Side
meters. This fee covers the materials for water meters to be set on lots located across the road
from the new waterline. This work will be done by Cleveland Utilities' forces. Adequate time
must be allowed for these "Long Side" meter sets to be installed in advance of the final paving of
the roadway.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact the Water and Sewer Divisions' Engineering
Office at(615)478-9391.
