The East Lincoln County Sewer District has available capacity at the Forney Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant to treat this domestic wastewater. There is also capacity at Pump Station 10 with the completed pump upgrade. Cowans Ford Phase 2 Subdivision, consisting of 74 residential lots, has a projected flow using NCDENR wastewater flow guidelines, 360 gpd per household, of 26,640 gpd. The ELSD expects the actual wastewater flow to be 13,320 gpd based upon the current residential flows of 180 gpd in the East Lincoln Sewer District. Due to the current demand within our system, and as we continue the process of permitting a new wastewater treatment plant, we agree to accept flow from 37 homes, half of the projected total flow. The accepted flow is 13,320 gpd using NCDENR numbers and 6,660 gpd based on actual flows from ELSD. If this capacity is exhausted after twelve (12) months, the developer can request an increased flow amount to the current flow letter. Lincoln County will review your request based on conditions at that time. For your state permits, the receiving sewer treatment facility will be the Forney Creek WWTP, Permit # NC0074012. East Lincoln County Water and Sewer District is the collector, Permit # WQCS00149. If construction of this project is not started within two (2) years of the date of this approval, the approval will be rescinded and a new request and approval will be required. Please notify the ELSD in writing when construction of this project is initiated. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate in calling me at (704) 736-8497. Utility Engineer
