Fast -Track Application Narrative
Johnston County Buffalo WWPS and FM
File 2017068 D
SURVEYORS LANDSCAPE ARCHITECTS
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a narrative of Johnston County's proposed
Buffalo WWPS and FM Upgrade project to accompany the projects Fast -Track Applications.
To allow for better clarity and a more streamlined application process, the County has opted to
divide the 1°ast--Track application into two Phases. Phase I refers to the improvements to the
currently existing WWPS and FM at the Buffalo W1VPS near Smithfield. Phase Il refers to the
various F,vI tie-ins and gravity sewer located near Reedy Branch and the Johnston County
Airport.
The general Phase I improvements to be permitted include approximately 3305 LF of 16" PVC
FM, 875 LF of Fusible PVC FM, 300 LF of 16" DIP FM, and an increase in the pump station
cornpacity to 4800 GPM. These improvements are mainly rehabilitative in nature and no new
flow is expected nor needed to be permitted at the time of the project. Phase I was previously
permitted in October of 2018 and the previously approved permit is included in this application.
The general Phase fI improvements to be permitted include approximately 1 136 U, of 36" PVC
gravity sewer, 5 LF of 12" PVC gravity sewer, 30 LF of 4" PVC FM, 200 LF of I0" PVC FM,
1507 LF of 12" PVC FM, and 165 1,F of 16" PVC FM. These new lines are being constructed to
prepare for a pump station and Wastewater Treatment Plant which will be built in a future
project. No pump station capacity upgrades are being requested in Phase II, nor are any existing
force mains being abandoned. These proposed lines shall remain dry until the future pump
station and NVWTP are built. When the lines are eventually put into service, there is no new flow
expected from the various pump stations only a redirection of existing flow to the new proposed
pump station_
Both Phase I and Phase Il will help to improve the Johnston County Sanitary Sewer System by
rehabilitating current FMs and preparing the county for future improvements that will be needed
based on projected population growth.

RE: [External] Re: Sewer Extension - Buffalo Creek WWPS Upgrades Phase II
Thanks Kevin,
For historical purposes: After talking with Blaine & Kevin on the phone, it was explained that Phase II of this project was
not upgrading any pump stations, nor abandoning any existing lines, and therefore will be issued as a new permit, and
not modifications to existing permits.

Subject: Sewer Extension - Buffalo Creek WWPS Upgrades Phase 11

HI Blaine & Chandra,
We've just started reviewing the referenced sewer extension application.
The application says this is a proposed (new permit) application (Item 11.2). However, the narrative states that it's
primarily a modification to existing permits from various pump stations throughout Johnston County.
We certainly don't want to make this complicated, but I'm afraid it might be (or maybe I'm misunderstanding). If this is
a modification to other permits, and lines in those permits are being abandoned because of these new lines that will be
going in (or existing lines will be extended), then those permits need to be modified to remove the lines that will be
abandoned.
Please let me know if that's the case, and we'll go from there.
-Jason
