Highway 210 at the high rise bridge connecting North Topsail Beach and Sneads Ferry. The holding
tank is to be partially buried in the fill material of the bridge abutment. This location is just behind the
guard rail on the south side of the bridge approach going towards Sneads Ferry and would be located
beside an existing pump house building. Only the flat, top portion of this little building is visible from
the road. The applicant indicates that approximately a 2000 square foot area would be disturbed during
the planned construction/installation. The project consists of installing a new sewage lift station to
replace a station in another. location on the island. A 24,000 gallon holding tank would be installed,
mostly subsurface, next to the existing pump house building. This holding tank is to be a baffled wall
system. The primary use side would be a 6,000 gallon storage area with the 18,000 gallon portion
reserved for emergency use/overflows. Also proposed are three 1,000 gallon per minute pumps and
an emergency generator. Sewage from the Town of North Topsail Beach is currently pumped over the
bridge to the treatment plant facility in Sneads Ferry. That will not change. About 10' (ten feet) of
new forcemain will be required for the new pump station.
The area where the disturbance is to occur consists of fill material at the bridge approach in the right-of-
way of Highway 210. It is presently vegetated with grass and weeds. However, the site closely borders
an expanse of coastal marsh containing several coastal species protected under the Coastal Area
Management Act. The proposed project should not encroach on or negatively impact this coastal marsh
area provided caution is exercised during construction/installation. Sediment control devices will be
required during construction.
This new pump station facility would be approximately 300-400 feet from surface water, which is
located on three sides of the site.The project area is located within an Area Of Environmental Concern,
Outstanding Resource Waters. These waters have been classified as ORW by the Division of Water
Quality. Waters surrounding the project are the Atlantic Intracoastal Waterway, Alligator Bay and a
mosquito ditch. They have been designated as primary nursery area by the Division of Marine Fisheries
and are open to the taking of shellfish. The North Topsail Beach Land Use Plan classifies Areas of
Environmental Concern as Conservation. A Special Use Permit is required from the Town of North
Topsail and an application has been filed. This proposed project must be reviewed and permitted by
the Division of Water Quality, hence a Major Permit is necessitated under the Coastal Area
Management Act.
10. ANTICIPATED IA4PACTS
Positive potential impacts that could be derived from the project include removal of an aged, failing
pump station at the north end of the island. Also, the continued upgrading of the sewer system allows
more residents who have failing septic systems to hook onto sewer.
Potential negative impacts from this project include soil disturbance next to coastal marsh.

NARRATIVE DESCRIPSION
MAIN SEWERAGE LIFT STATION
NORTH TOPSAIL WATER S SEWER, INC.
This project consist of a sewage lift station to replace the existing lift
station. There will be three 1,000 gallon per minute pumps, one having an
emergency generator. The total capacity will be 24,000 gallons in two
compartments (one 18,000 gallon and one 6,000 gallon). The 18,000 gallon
compartment is for emergency use. This lift station will pump sewage to the
existing spray facilities.
There will be no fill. All excavated material will be hauled off site. There
is an existing pump house that will be utilized to house the control system.
No wetlands will be disturbed. The site is completely upon lands belonging to the
state of North Carolina. The adjacent marsh area also belongs to the state of
North Carolina. The closest water is a ditch running to the south of the site
that is an unnamed tributary to the Intercoastal Waterway. Attached is a copy
of the Quad showing the site. (This is a combined section of the two quads
covering the site area).

DIVISION OF
COASTAL MANAGEMENT
Subject: Construction of North Topsail Water and Sewer Pump
Station in DOT Right -of Way
Dear Mr. Huffman:
At the request of Mr. Drew Cox of your agency, I am writing
this letter to provide some justification for the proposal to
construct a new wastewater pumping station in the NC 210 right of
way.
The Public Staff of the North Carolina Utilities Commission
has worked closely with North Topsail Water and Sewer, Inc.
(NTWS) to improve the management and operation of the sewer
utility and provide an efficient service to its rate payers. One
of the operational improvements involves the construction of a
new pumping station to be located near the eastern approach of
the NC 210 bridge over the Intracoastal Waterway.
The entire service area located on the island will be served
by this proposed new pump station. This service area includes
all of Topsail Island from just north of the Town of Surf City to
the New River Inlet. As you are aware, NTWS presently uses a
pump station located at the northern tip of North Topsail Island
which discharges into.a 12 inch force main that follows State
Road 1568 to NC 210 and then runs along the deck of the NC 210
bridge. In order to minimize the pumping heads and installation
ofnew force mains, -and to -utilize existing structures, the new
pump station should be located near the eastern approach to the
NC 210 bridge.
The NTWS engineer and the Public Staff engineers have
identified several problems associated with the operation of the
existing north end pumping station. The nuisance conditions
created by this pump station have been the source of many
complaints to the Utilities Commission. Furthermore, it is used
as the main pumping facility to move wastewater over the bridge

to the treatment plant. There are approximately 40 to 50 smaller
pump stations south of the north end pump station that feed
directly into the 12 inch force main. These smaller pump
stations must operate at tremendous pumping heads to overcome the
pressures created within this force main. This mode of operation
results in increased electricity consumption and frequent pump
replacement. By placing a new pump station near the bridge,
these more numerous smaller pump stations could operate at lower
pressure heads and decrease the overall operational costs to
NTWS. _
Furthermore, the island is experiencing rapid growth. With
this growth comes a need to dispose of increased volumes of
wastewater. If residents do not have access to central
wastewater treatment, they will seek to obtain septic tank
permits from the County. A proliferation of septic tanks would
increase potential environmental impacts to the surrounding
wetlands and fragile habitats. A new pump station would address
this matter, and allow NTWS to deal with any potential
environmental impact due to a force main rupture.
In the mid 1980s, NTWS was given permission to construct a
building within the right of way as part of an initial plan to
build a major pump station at the eastern approach of the NC 210
bridge. The existing structure and 12 inch force main are
located on the southern side of the roadway. Funds have never
been available to complete construction of this pump station
until now.
The NTWS engineer has proposed to utilize the existing NTWS
structure located close to the roadway. This existing
structure would be used to house valves and other appurtenances,
thereby eliminating the need to construct an additional building
to accommodate these appurtenances. A new pump station would be
constructed adjacent to the existing structure and would be
constructed so that it would not be an obstruction to the flow of
traffic.
Constructing the pump station on the same side of the
roadway would also eliminate the need to bore under the highway
twice. Furthermore, a pump station on the southern side of the
roadway would, not affect -the NC Wildlife boating ramp access: -
Given the location of the existing facilities and utilities, the
NTWS engineer, the Public Staff engineers, and the Division of
Water Quality are all in agreement that a new pump station should
be constructed and located adjacent to the existing valve house.
Admittedly, other sites could be utilized for this pump
station. However, the estimated $50,000 to $70,000 in additional
costs for new valves, construction of additional force main,
additional structures, and potential wetlands impact, demonstrate
the superiority of the site proposed by the NTWS engineer.
AUG 2 01996
DIVISIOiv OF
-COASTAL MANAGEMENT

The Public Staff is very much in agreement with NTWS
officials that construction of a new pump station located near
the eastern approach of the NC 210 bridge will provide a long
term solution to the operational requirements>of the wastewater
collection facilities on North Topsail Island, reducing the
pressure heads that smaller pump stations must overcome and the
costs of electricity and pump replacement. Management of the
facilities would significantly improve, reducing potential impact
to the environment and the impact to customers of the utility
through higher rates.
If there are any questions regarding this matter, please
contact me at 919-715-5622.

IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
Within sixty days of permit reissuance, monitoring well MW-2 shall be abandoned
according to 15A NCAC 2C .0113 (Abandonment of Wells).
Monitor wells IAW-1 and MW-3 shall be sampled every March, July, and November for
the following parameters: -
Water Level
pH
Nitrates
TDS
Ammonia Nitrogen
TOC
Chlorides
Fecal Coliforms
Volatile Organic Compounds
- In November only (by Method 1 below)
Method 1: Method 6230D (Capillary - Column), "Standard Methods For The
Examination of Water and Wastewater', 17th ed., 1989
The measurement of water levels must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on
the top of the casing. ,
The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to
provide the relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 are detected in any downgradient monitoring
well, additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual
constituents comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in
the background monitor well exceeds 10 mg/l, this concentration will be taken to represent
the naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring
TOC concentration in the down -gradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling
and analysis as described above.
If any volatile organic compounds are detected by Method 6230D, then the Wilmington
Regional Office Groundwater Supervisor, telephone number 910-395-3900, must be
contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses
required. The results of all initial and follow-up analyses must be submitted
simultaneously.
