Re: Fast Track Sewer System Extension Application • Design of Sewer Pump Station • Norfolk
Southern Charlotte Engine Terminal • Charlotte, North Carolina
Mr. Love,
Please find the attached Sewer Extension Peiinit Application and application fee. As directed by the City of
Charlotte, we are adding a sewer pump station and force main to convey the flow from our facility to a new
tie in point with the City of Charlotte. The project will be rehabilitation of existing sewer with no new flow
expected. All of the work will take place on Norfolk Southern Property. The Norfolk Southern Charlotte
Terminal has been an active facility since the early 1900's and was constructed prior to current permitting
process.
Please contact me at 681-220-9010, should you have questions.
Respectfully submitted,
L.A. Gates Company
