RE: Pressure test of the forced main at the Hatteras Ferry Terminal

Sirs,

At the request of Mr. Pharr, I witnessed the test of the sewer forced main which was installed under
my supervision as Construction Manager during the Hatteras Ferry Shore Side Improvements
project.

Mr. Pharr contacted me by phone at approximately 8:15 am on June 23, 2020 and advised that he
was pressurizing the line to 100psi at that time. I arrived at the site at 12:00pm and observed that the
test gauge was reading 104psi. I took a photograph at that time and will include it with this writing
in my email. This photo is identified as test gauge #1. I then waited until 1:00pm and again observed
the gauge to read 104psi. I then asked Mr. Pharr to release the pressure on the line from the most
remote valve on the line. I observed Mr. Pharr open the valve at the hose reel at which time the
pressure indicated by the gauge immediately dropped to 0psi. I took a photograph at that time and
will include it with this writing in my email. This photo is identified as test gauge #2.

Based on these results, the sewer forced main has passed the required pressure test.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. I may be reached by phone at 252-
809-3051 or by email at [e-mail] .
