RE: WQ0038472
Permit Modification
Cumberland County, North Carolina
040
ASUS
Fort Bragg
serving Those Wno serve.,
We are providing the enclosed information for the permit modification of permit No. WQ0038472.
This permit pertains to the existing sewer permitted for ON-00015-5P Lift Stations C1220 & C 1722
A&B at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. We are requesting a permit modification because the piping
diameters and quantities in the permit approved on June 2, 2016 vary from what has been installed
and reflected on the As -Built drawings dated October 7, 2019 and submitted to the State by Justin
Nyland with the Engineering Certification on October 8, 2019.
Approximately 167-If of 8-inch gravity sewer was laid at less than the minimum slope required by
NCDEQ Design Criteria and is deemed a "High Priority Sewer". The As -Built drawings show the
location and profile for this sewer line. After review of the as -built drawings, I have confirmed to the
best of my knowledge that no 4-in gravity sewer or 6-inch gravity sewer was installed. This permit
modification denotes the correct pipe diameters and lengths reflected on the as -built for this project.
The Final Engineer's Certification has already been submitted to NCDEQ by Justin Nyland on October
8, 2019.

ENGINEER'S CERTIFICATION (MODIFIED FOR WQ0038472 in place of WQ0033337)
I, Justin Nyland, as a duly registered Professional Engineer in the State of North Carolina, attest that this
certification application for:
Gruber Road Pump Station (Old North Utility Services Project #PN-58708)
has been reviewed by me. In my review of information provided by the utility owner (American States
Utility Services (ASUS) / Old North Utility Services (ONUS)), there are a series of background points that
need to be considered as part of this certification:
- The initial project, permitted under WQ0033337 on September 16, 2008, was in support of an
upgrade to the Robinson Health Clinic at Ft. Bragg, NC. As part of this overall project, sanitary
sewer infrastructure was installed in an area adjacent to the intersection of Gruber Road and
Longstreet Road (approximately 49' of 6-inch gravity sewer, 191' of 8-inch gravity sewer, a
duplex lift station (later to be called C-17226) with a duty point of 100 gpm at 36' TDH, and
approximately 666' of 3-inch force main. Cromwell Architects and Engineers was the designer
for this United Stated Army Corps of Engineers project, and a set of PE stamped and signed set
of Plans dated May 5, 2008, is in the record file. ONUS GIS indicates that past infrastructure in
this area is very similarto that shown in the Plans from Cromwell Architects and Engineers.
Lift Stations C-1220 and C-1722 A &B (Project ON-00018-513)
- In the first half of 2016, ONUS planned a lift station consolidation project (ONUS Project #ON-
00018-513) in this same area, with three lift stations being consolidated into one renovated single
station that could handle the flow of all three. This scope of work called for the demolishing of
Lift Stations C-1722A and C-1220, and routing their influent flows via new gravity line to Lift
Station C-1722B, which was to be upgraded with new pumps, rails, bases, and valve
vault/piping. The discharge from this station was also upsized by replacing the existing 3-inch
force main (abandonment via flowable fill) with a new 4-inch force main in the same general
alignment and point of connection to the existing gravity system. This project was permitted
under W00038472. ASUS has been able to collect recently updated GIS and work with the ONUS
Capital Inspector to generate as -built drawings which will be routed to NC DEQ. It is ONUS'
position that the information covered in the Engineering Certification for WQ0038472 will be
the most updated information for both permits, as this submittal will include:
1. All the new gravity sewer installed for taking 2 of the 3 lift stations offline,
2. indicate what existing gravity sewer that did not change from the original project to the new
consolidation project (6-inch gravity sewer and 8-inch gravity sewer between an existing
building and Lift Station C-1722 B), and
3. include information on upgraded Lift Station C-1722B and the new 4-inch force main that
replaced the 3-inch force main that was abandoned via Plowable fill.
Although this project was not inspected by me personally, I was kept aware of its status throughout
construction, and the establishment of the as -built condition of this sewer infrastructure has been
performed by the utility owner (American States Utility Services / Old North Utility Services, Inc.)
through their GIS Infrastructure review and survey information transmitted to the record file. To the
best of my knowledge, this information is accurate, complete, and reflective of the installation work for
this project.
The design for this project was prepared by the ASUS Engineering Design Center, and was signed and
stamped by a North Carolina Professional Engineer on June 9, 2016. There is no indication that the
design was not prepared in accordance with all applicable regulations and statutes.
Notes / Qualifiers: Sheet C-02 of the Record Drawings indicates that an 8" sewer main was installed
below the minimum slope required per NC DENR Minimum Design Criteria. This run of sewer main is
identified as such in the Record Drawings and annotated with the following:
"High -priority sewer with slope laid less than NC DENR MDC requirements. Periodic inspection (once per
6-month minimum) and documentation per the System -Wide Collection Permit required. Periodic
flushing may be required per inspection findings."
