WQRO
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) U-5908 project in Huntersville, NC
includes roadway and drainage improvements to sections along Main St. and NC 115 and the
surrounding roads, as well as construction of two new roundabouts. As part of the project,
Charlotte Water is relocating a portion of the existing 8" force main in the project area due to
design conflicts. The existing PVC force main runs west from Ramah Church Road, south along
NC 115, and west along Sherwood Drive, where it ultimately discharges into a gravity sewer
manhole. Approximately 2050 LF of the existing force main is being relocated along the original
alignment and will be replaced with HDPE DRl 1. No additional flow is being added by the
project. All proposed waterlines and gravity sewer will be self -permitted by Charlotte Water.
Attached please find the following documents:
1. FTA 04-16 Fast Track Sewer System Extension Application — original signed plus one
copy.
2. Site Maps (street level and USGS map).
3. FTSE 04-16 Fast Tracking/Acceptance Form
4. Check in the Amount of $480.00.
Signed and sealed plans and special provisions for the project are available upon request.
NCDOT's "Standard Specifications for Roads and Structures", dated January 2018 is being
utilized for the project specifications.
Should you have any questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact me by
phone at [phone] or by email at [e-mail].

III. Certification Statement:
1 Kerl Cantrell 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.
