Project Narrative
For
Sherrill's Stream at Lake Norman RECe1VED/NC0ENFill) WR
Located in Catawba NC
April 211t, 2020 z0 0
MO©RESVILLE QROS
To Whom It May Concern: REGIONAL OFF►Oe
Sherrill's Stream at Lake Norman is a proposed 89 lot subdivision unit +/- single
family subdivision. The sewer outfall serving this subdivision will tie into an existing
sanitary sewer manhole in Sherrill's Ford Road that drains to Catawba Co. Pump Station.
Approximately 4,119 linear feet of PVC gravity sewer main, 1,451 of DIP gravity sewer
main, 2,880 linear feet of 3-inch PVC and 40 linear feet of 3-inch DIP force main. 8-inch
gravity sewer mains with 89 new services will connect to a new pump station then to the
proposed 3 inch force main that will be installed to an existing manhole in Sherrill's Ford
road. A total of 89 new residences are planned for this subdivision.
The design and plan review was done in accordance with NCDEQ's Gravity
Sewer Minimum Design Criteria and the City of Graham's standards and specifications.
Work on the sewer installation is planned to begin in late Summer of 2020.
Please contact me if you require additional information. You can reach me via email
jordan@p,reenmountainenizineers.com or by telephone [phone] at your convenience.

III. Certification Statement:
I Warren Wood, City Manager certify to the best of my knowledge that the addition of
the volume of wastewater to be permitted in this project has been evaluated along the route to the receiving
wastewater treatment facility and that the flow from this project is not anticipated to cause any capacity
related sanitary sewer overflows or overburden any downstream puinp station en route to the receiving
treatment plant under normal circumstances, given the implementation of the planned improvements
identified in the planning assessment where applicable. This analysis has been performed in accordance
with local established policies and procedures using the best available data. This certification applies to
those items listed above in Sections I and II plus all attached planning assessment addendums for which I
am the responsible party. Signature of this form certifies that the receiving collection system or treatment
works has adequate capacity to transport and treat the proposed new wastewater.
