Re: Northern Lights
P.C.
We are submitting a revised Fast -Track Application (FTA 04-16) for the above
referenced project. The following items are provided: original and copy of the revised
application form, original and copy an additional Flow Tracking/Acceptance for Sewer
Extension Application (FTSE 04-16) by Brunswick County, & two copies of the revised
Sanitary Sewer Narrative.
Please discard the previously provided Fast -Track Application and Sanitary Sewer
Narrative. The previously provided Flow Tracking/Acceptance for Sewer Extension
Application (FTSE 04-16) by Brunswick County is to be used in conjunction with the
additional one provided with this submittal.
Revisions to the application and narrative were made to permit all 162 lots since the
moratorium is over.
Thanks,

Sanitary Sewer Narrative
Description:
Travel 0.70 miles north on S.R. 1419 (Northwest Road NE) from the intersection of US-
74/76 (Andrew Jackson Hwy) & NC-87 (Maco Road). The site is located on the west
side of Northwest Road NE.
The proposed sanitary sewer system is to serve 162 (3 bedroom) single-family residential
lots. The flow required is 34,020 GPD based on a reduced flow rate of 70 gpd/bedroom
(140 gpd/lot min.) since the flow goes to the Northeast Brunswick Regional W WTF
which has that approved reduced flow rate. There is 6,227.91 LF of 8" public gravity
sanitary sewer main and 177 LF of 6" public force main being proposed for this project.
The length of the gravity sewer main is based on the distance from inside wall of
manhole to inside wall of manhole. The pump station is a duplex station. The pumps are
23 horsepower, and the pumping rate is 490 gpm at 89 TDH when pumping alone at
initial service.
The proposed 6" force main will discharge into an existing 8" sewer force main along the
east side of Northwest Road NE (WQ0032475).
