Narrative for the Varnell Street Pump Station and New 6" Force Main to Speight School Road
Town of Saratoga — Sartoga-Wilson Sanitary Sewer Connection Project
Project No. E-SRP-W-17-0118
The project changes the recipient of the Town of Saratoga's waste water from the Town of
Stantonsburg to the City of Wilson. A new 6,740LF force main with 250 LF of directional bore
will be installed from the existing main pump station, Varnell Pump Station, to a gravity MH just
upstream of the existing, recently constructed Speight School Road Pump Station. The existing
6" force main that conveys the Town's effluent to the Town of Stantonsburg collection system
will be abandoned as part of these improvements. The new 6" force main will be installed along
an existing utility easement and within the right of way Speight School Road.
Scope:
• 6,740 Linear Feet of 6-inch Sanitary Sewer Force Main including:
• 250-foot Directional Bore
• Replacement of pumps at the Varnell Street Pump Station
• Air Release manholes and valves
Upon previous submittal of an application package to cover all aspects of the Wilson SS
Connection project, DEQ requested that one permit to cover Varnell Street and its new force
main be requested and modification of the recently issued Speight School Road Pump Station
permit (WQ 0039049) be processed. The check for this "new permit" for the existing Varnell
Street Pump Station has already been submitted.

Mayor Tommy Hawkins
Town of Saratoga
6904 Main Street
Saratoga, N.C. 27873
Subject: Potential Sewer Service for Town of Saratoga
Dear Mr. Hawkins,
Thank you for your interest in possibly becoming a City of Wilson wholesale sewer customer. As you are aware,
the City already serves Black Creek, Lucama, and Sims with this service. Your town engineer, Mark Russell with
Mack Gay and Associates and I have spoken about possible sewer connection locations for service. We have
also spoken with your Town Attorney, Mr. Brian Pridgen, and understand that your board has voted to explore
the project as an option for the town. According to Mr. Russell, you are requesting a flow of 100,000 gallons
per day (gpd). The City has sewer capacity of 14 million gallons per day at our facility, and we have more than
enough excess capacity available at our facility to handle the requested 100,000 god of additional flow. With
the requested capacity and a pump station design factor X2.5, our pump station or gravity sewer downstream
would need to be capable of handling 250,000 gpd. The Woodard Industrial Park Pump Station (now called
"The Campus at 587") which is currently under construction (with a completion date of early 2018) has a
capac'ty of 1.55 MGD which is more than adequate as is downstream gravity sewer capacity.
With treatment capacity available and with infrastructure capacity available, the City is willing to accept
100,000 gpd of wastewater from the Town of Saratoga, subject to Wilson City Council approval, and other
minor ordinance modifications. The capacity charge for wastewater capacity at our facility is currently $4.08
per gallon, or $408,000 for the requested flow. Contact me if you have any questions or if you need anything
else from the City.
Sincerely,
Barry G. Parks

Jason and Ted,
To clarify, your assumption from Friday is correct. The .067MGD is the current flow the Town intends to send
to the City of Wilson. Wilson has indicated that they have capacity and are willing to potentially accept up to
0.1 MGD from the Town however the current monthly pumping rates (attached) do not support that high of a
demand.

Mike & Bill,
We're reviewing the application for the Varnell PS & FM (different than the Speight School PS application
that Ted was emailing you about Mike).
The Varnell application shows a flow of "0". However, on the Flow Tracking Sheet (FTSE) that is signed by
Bill, it shows a flow of 0.067 MGD being requested. I assume this is the total flow that will be sent from
Saratoga to Wilson, but we want to confirm that, and confirm that Wilson is willing to accept all of the flow
from Saratoga. Mike and Bill, please confirm.
Thanks!

We will use the fee that you already submitted towards one of the new apps you submit. It's probably be easier for us
if that is for the new permit (The Varnell PS & FM). Please make sure to explain in the narrative that a check has
already been submitted for that one.
A new fee will need to accompany the application for the modification (Speight School Rd. Sewer Project).

Just to make sure I'm clear, it sounds like both the existing 3" FM that leaves the Speight School Rd PS (to Saratoga's
line) and the existing 6" FM that leaves the Varnell PS (to Stantonsburg line) will both be abandoned. Is that correct?
Yes, that's correct. The existing 3" and the existing 6" will be abandoned.
The permit scenario you suggested sounds good to me. l will work on getting these forms to you as soon as
possible. Thanks for working with me on this.
And finally, Stantonsburg is fully aware of this project. I have numerous correspondence between the Towns
indicating the need and desires of Saratoga to put this arrangement in place.
As far as fees go, should I submit two new fees or will the first fee we submitted stand for one of these new
applications?

If that's the case, here's what I think might be the best way to proceed, although this is open for discussion:
Tw permits would cover this scenario:
1. Create a new permit for Varnell PS. This permit will include the PS (with its upgraded capacity), as well as the
proposed 6" FM that will exit it (to Saratoga's system).
Z. Modify the existing permit for the Speight School Rd. PS (WQ0039049) to include the new capacity of the PS and
the new 8" FM that will go to Wilson.
Does this sound reasonable? If so, we'd need two applications, both with fees and supporting documentation.
1. One could be called "Varnell Pump Station and Forcemain" (or something like that), and Item I1.2 would be
checked "Proposed". This would include the Varnell Pump Station with its final capacity, and the new 6" FM that will
leave it.
Z. The second would be a modification to the "Speight School Road Sewer Project "WQ0039049". It would include
the new capacity of the Speight School Rd. PS and the new 8"FM that will go to Wilson. It will not include the existing
FM that will be abandoned.
AnotherQuestion: Is Stantonsburg aware of this roiect? Do Stantonsburg know that Saratqjga will be eliminating
the flow that goes to Stantonsbur 's CS and WWTP?

Jason,
Sorry, I missed the actual questions in that email.
1. To create a new permit for the existing Varnell PS and new forcemain from Varnell To Speight, since there
isn't an existing permit for, or at least it was so long ago that it can't be found.Question: is the proposed
fi 740 LF of 6" FM going from Varnell to Speight School replacing an existing FM? Or is it all new, and the
existing FM from Varnell will be abandoned?
Yes. There is an existing 3" force main that runs from Speight School Road PS to a MH that eventually gets to
Varnell PS. The 6" will be reversing flow from Varnell to a MH that will gravity down to Speight School Road.
Existing 6" FM that runs from Varnell PS to Stantonsburg system will be abandoned in place.
2. Modify the Speight School PS permit for the pump upgrade.Question: Basically the same as above will
the existing FM that currently leaves Speight School be abandoned and will the proposed 16,580 LF of 8" FM
all be new?

Yes. 8" FM will leave Speight School PS and head to Wilson Industrial Park connection as City of Wilson will
now be treating Town of Saratoga's WW instead of Stantonsburg.
3. Create a new permit just for the proposed FM from Speight School PS to Wilson's System.
I hope this makes sense and if it does, just advise me as to what documents you need from me and I will get
them prepared and sent over.

Depending on your answers, or further though/discussion, there may be an easier way.

Not sure about the Varnell Street PS. I know that we worked on an upgrade / rehab to the station a few years
ago. All I can find from that is a certification letter deeming that the project didn't increase capacity and
simply supplied emergency backup power as well as rehabbed the station. The permits weren't referenced in
the documents 1 could find. (copy of letter attached) I have also attached the images we have of the original
plans from the 81-85 era for when the original station was constructed. These plans are from another firm
and I would expect that any permit issued would have accompanied that set of drawings.
A question to consider: Since we are extending such a significant length of force main for this and the pump
stations are technically permitted already and just have modifications, should this simply be a force main

extension application and then modifications to the other two existing permits? With that said, I'm willing to
work this out however you guys think would be the most appropriate way.

Hi Mike,
We're reviewing the referenced application, and have the following questions and comments:
1. The application includes the upgrade of the Varnell PS. Is there an existing sewer extension permit that
covers the existing Varnell pump station (and associated FM)
2. The application also includes the upgrade of the Speight School PS. I think this is the pump station
(and force main) covered under permit WQ0039049, issued in 2017, modified in 2017, and modified again
in 2019. If this is the case, we typically require the existing permit to be modified, instead of having two
active permits that cover the same pump station.
So if I'm understanding the scenario correctly, we'd have to figure out the best way to handle this. Initially,
I would think that a new permit would need to be issued for the Varnell PS and forcemain (if an existing
permit cannot be found), and the existing Speight School PS Permit would have to be modified to describe
the upgrades to it, and potentially add the connecting forcemain to that permit. I plan to discuss with
coworkers. Let me know about the Varnell PS (if there's a permit), and you have any input.
