PROTECT NARRATIVE
The property served by this proposed sewer extension lies off of Waterscape Way in the City of
New Bern. The latitude and longitude of 35°01'41'N, 77°00'35"W. The project is within a drainage
basin which drains to the Neuse River. The receiving stream is the Brice Creek (C;Sw, NSW). Per
the NRCS Soil Survey of Craven County the soil across the site consists of Grantham silt loam (Gr)
and Rains fine sandy loam (Ra), while the ground cover consists of fair woodlands.
Carolina Commercial Contractors, LLC desires to install a gravity sewer system to serve a
�j commercial assisted living complex. It is proposed that wastewater from the development,
calculated to be 9,600 GPD, be ultimately collected and carried to the City of New Bern WWTF and
�v downstream pump station. Per town request, all the flow is placed on the private application with
the public sewer application having zero flow.
This project is permitted through NCDEQ by existing permit WQ0041748. The permit will need to
be odified since the linear feet listed on the permit (845 LF of 8'�
mis not within the 10% allowance
shown on the as-builts (509 LF). We are requesting the modified permit to allow for 509 LF of 8"
private gravity sewer. I

I Mark Stephens, 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 pump station
en route to the receiving treatment plant under normal circumstances; given the implementation of
the planned improvements identified in theplanning assessment where applicable. Ibis 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 addendum for which I am the responsible party. Signature of this

a. The proportion and amount of Obligated, Not Yet Tributary Daily Flow (C) accounts for
31 % and 0.220 MGD of the Available Capacity (B) in Pump Station

c. A funded Capital Project that will provide the required planned capacity, namely
Township No. Phase -III Sewer Imporvements is in design or under construction with
planned completion in 2021 ; and/or
d. The following applies:
_The City of New Bern has established a project fund for the Township No. 7 - Phase III
Sewer Improvements proejct and the project is currently in the permitting phase. The design

to be implemented ahead of the activaion of obligated, not yet tributary flows in amounts
that exceed the firm pump station capacities identified in Section II above.
Therefore:
Given reasonably expected conditions and planning information, there is sufficient justification to
allow this flow to be permitted, without a significant likelihood of over -allocating capacity in the
system infrastructure.

knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline the actions taken or proposed to be taken to
ensure that the problem does not recur. Part II of Form CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved
form) can also be completed to show that the SSO was beyond control. [G.S. 143-215.1C(a1)]
6. Construction of the gravity sewers, pump stations, and force mains shall be scheduled so as not to
interrupt service by the existing utilities nor result in an overflow or bypass discharge of wastewater

Permlttee to appropriate enforcement actions.
A complete certification is one where the form is fully executed, and the supporting documents are
provided as applicable. Supporting documentation shall include the following:
One copy of the project construction record drawings (plan & profile views of sewer lines & force
mains) of the wastewater collection system extension. Final record drawings should be clear on

pump cycle times, and level control settings, pump station buoyancy, wet well storage, surge
protection, detention time in the wet well, and force main, ability to flush low points in force
mains with a pump cycle, and downstream sewer capacity analysis. If a portable power source or
pump is dedicated to multiple stations, an evaluation of all the pump stations' storage capacities
and the rotation schedule of the portable power source or pump, include travel timeframes, shall
be provided.
Changes to the project that do not result in non-compliance with this permit, regulations, or the
Minimum Design Criteria should be clearly identified on the record drawings, on the certification
in the space provided, or in written summary form.
Prior to Certification (Final or Partial): Permit modifications are required for any changes resulting
in non-compliance with this permit (including but not limited to pipe length changes of 10% or
Page 6 of 7
greater, increased flow, pump station design capacity design increases of 5% or greater, and
increases In the number/type of connections), regulations, or the Minimum Design Criteria.
Requested modifications or variances to the Minimum Design Criteria will be reviewed on a case -by -
case basis and each on its own merit. Please note that variances to the Minimum Design Criteria
should be requested and approved during the permitting process prior to construction. After -
construction requests are discouraged by the Division and may not be approved, thus requiring
replacement or repair prior to certification & activation. [15A NCAC 02T .0116]
8. Gravity sewers installed greater than ten percent below the minimum required slope per the Division's
Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria shall not be acceptable and shall not be certified until
corrected. If there is an unforeseen obstacle in the field where all viable solutions have been
examined, a slope variance can be requested from the Division with firm supporting documentation.
This shall be done through a permit modification with fee. Such variance requests will be evaluated
on a case -by -case basis. Resolution of such request shall be evident priorto completing and submitting
the construction certification. [ 15A NCAC 02T.0105(n)]
