RE: Fast Track Sewer System Extension
Application
Jackson Paper and Dollar General Lift
Station Improvements
Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority
Jackson County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Heim:
On behalf of Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority, please find enclosed the Fast Track
Sewer System Extension Application for the above referenced project. The following information is
included with this submittal:
Two copies of the Fast Track Sewer System Extension Application and Supporting
Documents
• $480 Application fee
• One USGS topographic project vicinity map
• One aerial project site map
The project generally consists of the construction of a single triplex pump station to replace
two existing pump stations, approximately 60 LF of 16"gravity sewer, approximately 1,065 LF of 8"
gravity sewer, approximately 65 LF of 10" force main, and approximately 845 LF of 6" force main. It
has been funded by a combination grant and loan from the Division of Water Resources under Project
No. E-SRP-W-17-0055. Please call me if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
