CITY OF KINGS MOUNTAIN SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The City of Kings Mountain is proposing to construct approximately 8,330 L.F.
of 24" gravity sewer along with the appropriate manholes, valves, fittings, and
appurtenances. The proposed sewer utility line will replace an existing 15" gravity sewer
line that is nearing the end of its useful life cycle. This is a replacement project only and
no new flows will be added to the system. The new sewer main will be installed adjacent
to the existing sewer main along Beason Creek from Phifer Road to the west to Crocker
Road. The sewer main will be constructed inside the NCDOT right-of-way or in private
easements obtained by the City of Kings Mountain. After the construction of the
proposed sewer main is complete the City of Kings Mountain will own, operate, and
maintain the new sewer main. The wastewater will be treated at the Pilot Creek
Wastewater Facility (WWTF # NC 0020737). The flow from the new gravity sewer main
will be sent to Beason Creek Lift Station, as before, and then pumped to the main outfall
line to the WWTF.

The 15" line is an existing line and was built in the 1960's or earlier. I have no idea where we could find the permit
number. The existing line will be replace with a new line. This will solve a lot of the 1/1 problems the City has.

Joel,
I received the subject application, could you clarify is the existing sewer line of 15-inch already been previously
permitted? If so under what permit number? Also what is the length of the existing line and will they be removed?

* The Firm Capacity (design flow) of any pump station is defined as the maximum pumped flow
that can be achieved with the largest pump taken out of service.
** Design Average Daily Flow is the firm capacity of the pump station divided by a peaking factor
(pf) not less than 2.5, per Section 2.02(A)(4)(c) of the Minimum Design Criteria.
*** A Planning Assessment Addendum shall be attached for each pump station located
between the project connection point and the WWTP where the Available Capacity is < 0.

III. Certification Statement:
I Rick Duncan 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 pump 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.
