U.S. HWY. 64 SANITARY SEWER FORCE MAIN CALCULATIONS
I. PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
This project, located in Clay County along US 64 near Hayesville, NC, consists of the design and
construction of approximately 24,200 LF of 8" diameter PVC, DIP, and HDPE sanitary sewer
force main including one sewer lift station. The project is a design/build venture between Stillwell
Engineering and Stillwell Enterprises, Inc. The project is being funded by a private entity for the
Clay County Water and Sewer District extension of it's existing sanitary sewer facilities. The
design basis of the proposed facilities is based upon the estimated flows that will contribute to the
facilities within a 15 year period.
Current development contributing to the estimated flows has just started (at this time, a clubhouse
and only a few residences are under construction) and therefore, the anticipated flows are not
expected to be fully tributary to the onsite facilities nor existing county facilities for a 15 year
period. The collection system for the facilities contributing to the design flows is currently in the
design stage and will be a pressure collection system (consisting of individual lift stations for each
facility and/or residence). It is expected therefore, that there will be no gravity systems that will
discharge into the facilities proposed by this design.
II. AVERAGE DAILY FLOW (WITHIN 15 YEAR PERIOD)
A. Residential:
400 Units @ 3 Bedrooms per unit(avg) X 120 gpd/bed = 144,000 gpd
B. Clubhouse:
Residential members: 400 members @ 60 gpd = 24,000 gpd
C. Restaurants:
Restaurant A: 120 seats @ 40 gpd / seat = 4,800 gpd
Restaurant B: 75 seats @ 40 gpd / seat = 3,000 gpd
D. Condominiums:
118 units @ 200 gpd / unit = 23,600 gpd
E. Marina:
112 Boat Slips @ 30 gpd / Slip = 3,360 gpd
TOTAL ESTIMATED DAILY DESIGN FLOW: 202,760 GPD or 141 gpm
Ili. PUMP, WET WELL, AND FORCE MAIN DESIGN
A. PUMPS
1. The peaking factor to be used for the design of pumps and the force main will be 3.0.
This peaking factor was selected due to velocity constraints and a wide range of
operating points that may exist due to possible varying hydraulic conditions during the
system's operational life.
Qpump(min) = PF * 141 gpm
PF = 2.5
Qpump(min) = 3.0 * 141 gpm = 423 gpm = 425 gpm

3 3 �'-
B. WET WELL
1. PEAKING FACTOR
For the design of the wet well active storage volume, the peaking factor is based upon
future population as follows:
PF = (18 + 4P) / (4 + 0)
Assuming 2.5 persons per residence and condominium, P = 2.5 * (400 + 58 + 60) / 1000
P = 1.295
PF = (18 + 41.295) / (4 + 41.295) = 3.72 = Qphf / Qddf where: Qphf= Peak Hourly Flow and
Qddf= Daily Design Flow = 141 gpm
Therefore, Qphf= 141 gpm * 3.72 = 523.8 gpm = 525 gpm.
2. ACTIVE STORAGE VOLUME
V = T * Qddf * 0 - Qddf / Qphf )
For T = 30 min (minimum 2 cycles per hour)
V = 30 min * 141 gpm * (1 —141 gpm / 525 gpm) = 3,094 gallons = Min. Storage Vol.
For T = 7.5 min (maximum 8 cycles per hour)
V = 7.5 min * 141 gpm * (1 —141 gpm / 525 gpm) = 773 gallons = Min. Storage Vol.
3. Active Storage Pump Control Depths
For Wetwell Dia. = 8.0' Surface area = 50.27 SF / FT of depth
Min. Active Storage Depth = 3,100 Gallons = 414 cubic feet / 50.27 SF = 8.25 FT
Minimum Depth Required by Pump Manufacturer from Bottom of Wet Well for Pump
submergence: Approximately 3.0 FT
Minimum depth required below incoming sewer line: 9.25 FT
C. FORCE MAIN
The diameter of the proposed force main will be 8". This size was chosen to accommodate future
increases in flow quantities and for the increased reliability of solid handling and prevention of line
blockage due to the particular hydraulics of the system.
It -is estimated that the flow of the force main will be full pressurized flow for approximately 830.0
LF from the outlet of the pump station. The profile of the force main pipe then drops from an
elevation of approximately 1968_FT to an elevation of approximately 1880 LF over a distance of
approximately 3300 LF with negative grades ranging between 2 and 4%. It is estimated that at
these grades, the flow will become open channel, gravity flow. The profile of the force main then
drops to an elevation of 1800 FT over a length of 5700 LF, then the -
.elevation rises and -falls for
another 5800 LF of force main piping before reaching an elevation of 1880 FT again and falls for
the last 900 LF of pipe length to the discharge manhole at a discharge elevation of approximately
1834 FT. Therefore, it is estimated that there will be approximately 111500 LF-of pipe that will be
constantly filled between the two equal elevation points of 1880 FT. Due to possible extended
detention times or flushing that may not occur during a single pumping cycle, appropriately
design ocated at -or near theetwo.low--points of this pipe section and a
pressure flushing station located between the two low points are being implemented into the
design for further reliability in force main operation should blockages occur.

reduction requests are to be reviewed by the central office, and must be reviewed and
approved before the application is .accepted by the regional office for review.
♦ Ensure that the flows shown on the application match up to what is shown on the plans (if
available for review). For example, if the application states that 100 lots are to be developed,
ensure that there are 100 lots, and not 150 lots, shown on the plans. Plans are only required
for review if the applicant is requesting a variance to the MDC or the .0200's.
♦ Do not approve "future" wastewater flows (i.e., that based on speculative development).
These would be permitted in future wastewater collection system extensions.
Adequate information provided regarding the proposed gravity sewer and/or force main (if
applicable)?
Note: An Environmental Assessment may be required if there are 3 miles of gravity sewer and
the design capacity is 1 MGD or greater (15A NCAC 1 C .0100). Note that this criteria is currently
under revision. Environmental Assessment projects can NOT go Fast -Track!
IVA- Adequate information provided regarding the proposed pump station(s) (if applicable)?
Note: An Environmental Assessment may be required if the pump station(s) have a design
capacity greater than 1 MGD or greater (15A NCAC 1 C .0100). If there are any questions about
whether an EA may be required, discuss with your supervisor or contact Todd Kennedy of the
Planning Branch's Local Government Assistance Unit.
♦ Power reliability at the pump station provided in accordance with Section 5.04 of the
Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains
document (i.e dual line feed, portable generator w/telemetry, permanent generator with
automatic transfer switch, wet well storage if near Class C waters)?
f/ Project designed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0200, the Gravity Sewer Minimum Design
Criteria and the Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and
Force Mains document (as applicable)? If NO forward one copy of the supporting documents to
the Central Office for review, indicating the permit number, owner and project name. The Centra
Office will review the variance request and if approvable specific language regarding the
variance will be forwarded to the Regional Office reviewer to incorporate into the permit. A copy
of the variance letter provided by the central office should be kept with the application file.
SECTION C — Watershed Classification
Topographic map -submitted?
Watershed classification required? If YES, you are advised to "spot-check" the classification(s).
If NO, ensure the applicant/engineer has indicated why one is not required.

Engineer's Board web site (www.ncbels.org - the PE number must be six digits, use leading 0
when needed).
♦ If the PE seal number does not show up on the web site database, call the PE Board for
verification [phone].
Drafting a Permit
♦ In order to be consistent, use the most current version of the Fast -Track permit shell (see DWQ
Intranet). This permit shell contains specific language with respect to the Minimum Design Criteria,
regulations, and collection system permitting. The NDPU will notify you of any changes to this permit
shell.
♦ Be specific with respect the system description and information. Indicate the flow, what the project
will be serving, length and size of gravity sewer lines and force mains, etc. For projects involving
pump stations, the size of the pump stations, as well as the reliability option and any additional info
(telemetry, odor control system, etc) should be included. A sample permit is on the DWQ Intranet.
♦ Add or remove any special conditions as necessary. Please call attention to any non-standard permit
conditions in the cover letter of the permit and include the permit condition where necessary. See the
Example Special Conditions document.
♦ If the project is a modification, don't forget to include the system description from the previous permit
and void the previous permit in the language!
Denying a Project
♦ If the Reviewer/Supervisor determines that an application package should be denied because it can
not meet NC Statutes, rules or regulations, then a denial letter should be drafted. Special attention
should be paid to the statutory deadline for permitting. if it is thought that a project might be
denied, it is important to review it and draft the denial letter as soon as possible. There must
be time allowed for the denial letter to be sent up to the Director and signed prior to the
statutory date.
♦ The Reviewer should use the Application Denial Letter template to prepare a denial package for the
Supervisor's review and submittal to the Director for signature. The letter should not be dated, but
instead will be dated after the Director signs it. A memo to the Director should be attached to the top
of the denial package summarizing the reasons for denial. This package must be singed off on by the
reviewer, supervisor, Section Chief, and Director. Distribute the letter as directed in "Issuing a
Permit" below.
Issuing a Permit
Permits should be signed only by those delegated to sign for the Director.
♦ Permits should be distributed as follows (include the signed Operational Agreement if applicable):
✓ Original to the Permittee
✓ Copy to the consulting engineer

for GRAVITY SEWERS, PUMP STATIONS, AND FORCE MAINS
(Pressure sewers systems are not to be included as part of this application package)
INSTRUCTIONS: Indicate that you have included the following list of required application package items by checking the
space provided next to each item. Failure to submit all required items will lead to your application being returned as
incomplete or additional processing and review time. This form may be photocopied for use as an original.
01. Application Form - Submit one original and one copy of the completed and appropriately executed application
form. Any changes to this form will result in the application being returned. The Division of Water Quality
(Division) will only accept application packages that have been fully completed with all applicable items
addressed. You do not need to submit detailed plans and specifications unless you respond NO to Item B(12).
® II. Application Fee - Submit a check in the amount of $400 made payable to: North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR).
❑ III. Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity — If the application is being submitted in the name of a
privately -owned public utility, submit two copies of the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN)
which demonstrates that the public utility is authorized to hold the utility franchise for the area to be served by the
sewer extension. If a CPCN has not been issued, provide two copies of a letter from the North Carolina Utilities
Commission's Public Staff that states that an application for a franchise has been received, that the service area
is contiguous to an existing franchised area, and/or that franchise approval is expected. The project name in the
CPCN or letter must match that provided in Item A(2a) of this application.
❑ IV. Operational Agreements — Submit one original and two copies of a properly executed operational agreement if
the sewer extension is permitted by a private applicant and will be serving residential or commercial lots (e.g.,
houses, condominiums, townhomes, outparcels, etc.) that will be sold to another entity. If the applicant is a
homeowners' association, use Form HOA 02/03. If the applicant is a developer, use Form DEV 02/03. EVEN IF
THE PROJECT WILL BE TURNED OVER TO A MUNICIPALITY, FORM DEV 02/03 IS REQUIRED.
❑ V. Flow Acceptance Letters — If the owner of the downstream sewers and/or WWTF is different from the applicant,
submit two copies of a flow acceptance letter from the owner of the downstream sewers and WWTF, if different.
Flow acceptance letters must contain the following minimum information: applicant and project name, amount of
flow accepted, and name and permit number of the receiving sewers/WWTF. The flow acceptance must not
expire prior to permit issuance and must be dated less than a year prior to the application date.
Intergovernmental agreements or other contracts will not be accepted in lieu of a project -specific flow acceptance
letter.
® VI. Map — Submit an 8.5-inch by 11-inch COLOR copy of the portion of a 7.5-minute USGS Topographic Map along
with this form. The map should identify the entire project area location as well as the closest downslope surface
waters as clearly as possible. Each map portion must be labeled with the map name and number, the identified
location of the sewer line and pump stations, and be of clear and reproducible quality. For instance, if the project
involves 4 miles of interceptor sewer that traverses over or near several different waterbodies (or counties,
basins, etc.), the map should have location ID's shown for each different waterbody (where the sewer line is within
100 feet of such waterbody - see Instruction VII). This location ID is self chosen and used to cross reference the
location in Section C of the permit application.
® VII. Stream Classifications — Section C
• If any portion of the project is within 100 feet of any down slope surface water, Section C must be completed
for the pertinent sections.
• If the entire project area is a minimum of 100 feet away from any down slope surface waters BUT there is a
pump station involved where a history of power outage is to be used to provide adequate design storage
instead of dual feed or permanent or portable generator, Section C must be completed to demonstrate that
the closest down slope surface water is Class C (see 15A NCAC 2H .0219(h)(3)(D)).
• Use the guidance document entitled, "Determining Watershed Classifications for Form FTA 02/03 (Fast -Track
Sewer Systems)" available from http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndpu or by contacting the appropriate regional
office.

All fast -track projects should be submitted on the application entitled "Fast -Track Application for
Gravity Sewers, Pump Stations, and Force Mains" (FORM: FTA 02/03 currently) unless otherwise
directed by the NDPU. Any pump station/force main projects that require an Environmental
Assessment (EA) are excluded from the Fast -Track review process, and should be submitted for
full review to the Central Office (NDPU) on FORM: PSFMGSA 10/99. Additionally, any projects
involving a flow reduction request must receive approval for the flow reduction from the central
office.
PRE -REVIEW
t,-'*'_ Does the application package appear to be generally complete (i.e. all attachments, check, key
questions answered)? If any portion of the application is not complete, or if any required
instruction items have been omitted, RETURN the application package and supporting
documents to the applicant using the Project Return Letter template. Send the package and
letter via certified mail to the applicant, and a copy of the letter to the engineering consultant.
Any projects that are to be returned shall be returned prior to accepting the application (i.e.,
before logging in the application and depositing the check). After a project has been accepted,
any information that is found to be incorrect and/or lacking must be requested via an Additional
Information Request in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0208(e).
Ensure that a check for $400 is submitted and made out to NCDENR. All new projects and major
modifications to existing projects require an application fee. A major modification includes any
changes to permitted flow volumes, changes in pipe diameter, changes in pipe length greater that
10% of the originally permitted length, changes in the operating points of a pump station, etc.
SECTION A — Application Information
�/ q If the applicant is private (Item B(2)) and listed as a corporation, check the NC Department of the
A114
Secretary of State's web site at http://www.secretary.state.nc.us/Corporations/ to ensure that the

Carolina Utilities Commission AND the lots being served by the collection
system are to be sold to individual owners.
♦ If the applicant is a developer, they must fill out the DEVELOPER
Operational Agreement (FORM: DEV 02/03). A developer may be
responsible for the system for an interim period until the homeowners
association is formed, at which time a Permit Name/Ownership Change
request (FORM: PNOCF 06/00) will be needed to transfer the permit to the
HOA.
♦ If the applicant is a homeowners' association (HOA), they must fill out the
ASSOCIATION Operational Agreement (FORM: HOA 02/03 The HOA must
be registered with the Secretary of State's office and must provide a copy of
the Associations' Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation. These documents

receipt of the package.
♦ Ensure that the owner accepted the entire volume of flow listed in application.
Wastewater industrial or domestic in nature?
♦ Most projects will be for wastewater that is domestic in nature, however, if Item B.6 indicates
that the wastewater is industrial in nature, notify the Regional Office Pretreatment
Coordinator or the WQ Pretreatment Unit Central Office to determine if a pretreatment permit
is needed or if a program already in place and compliant.

FAST -TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003

Flow volume calculated correctly? 2H .0219(l)
♦ Ensure that the daily design flow in the application is based on the guidance provided in the
regulations or existing flow, and that the explanation as to how this volume was determined is
very specific (i.e., 22 three -bedroom homes, 50,000 s.f. of retail space, 18 employees, etc).
This information will be included in the description of the system in the permit. Our regs say
120 gpd/bedroom for residential. Note that for one -bedroom the minimum they can use is
240 gpd.
♦ If daily design flow is not based on regulations, ensure that the applicant has an approved
flow reduction of daily design flow rate on file with the Division. A list of approved flow
reductions may be obtained from the DWQ Intranet or by contacting the NDPU. Flow
reduction requests are to be reviewed by the central office, and must be reviewed and
approved before the application is accepted by the regional office for review.
♦ Ensure that the flows shown on the application match up to what is shown on the plans (if
available for review). For example, if the application states that 100 lots are to be developed,
ensure that there are 100 lots, and not 150 lots, shown on the plans. Plans are only required
for review if the applicant is requesting a variance to the MDC or the .0200's.
♦ Do not approve "future" wastewater flows (i.e., that based on speculative development).
These would be permitted in future wastewater collection system extensions.
Adequate information provided regarding the proposed gravity sewer and/or force main (if
applicable)?
Note: An Environmental Assessment may be required if there are 3 miles of gravity sewer and
the design capacity is 1 MGD or greater (15A NCAC 1 C .0100). Nate that this criteria is currently
under revision. Environmental Assessment projects can NOT go Fast -Track!
Adequate information provided regarding the proposed pump station(s) (if applicable)?
Note: An Environmental Assessment may be required if the pump station(s) have a design
capacity greater than 1 MGD or greater (15A NCAC 1 C .0100). if there are any questions about
whether an EA may be required, discuss with your supervisor or contact Todd Kennedy of the
Planning Branch's Local Government Assistance Unit.
♦ Power reliability at the pump station provided in accordance with Section 5.04 of the
Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains
document (i.e dual line feed, portable generator w/telemetry, permanent generator with.
automatic transfer switch, wet well storage if near Class C waters)?
Project designed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0200, the Gravity Sewer Minimum Design
Criteria and the Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and
Force Mains document (as applicable)? If NO, forward one copy of the supporting documents to
the Central Office for review, indicating the permit number, owner and proiect name. The Central
Office will review the variance request and if approvable specific language regarding the
variance will be forwarded to the Regional Office reviewer to incorporate into the permit A copy
of the variance letter provided by the central office should be kept with the application file
SECTION C — Watershed Classification
Topographic map submitted?
Watershed classification required? If YES, you are advised to "spot-check" the classification(s).
If NO, ensure the applicant/engineer has indicated why one is not required.
SECTION D —Certifications
Signing Official's signature? 2H .0206(b)
♦ Ensure that the applicant's signature is the same person as that listed as the applicant's
signing official on Page 1 of the application form.
PE stamped, signed, and dated application, plans, specifications, and calculations (if applicable)?
2H . 0205(d) (1) (A) (iii)
3
FAST -TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003

♦ Ensure that the same engineer has signed, sealed, and dated the application and all the
items, with the exception of items designed by specialty disciplines (i.e., architectural,
structural, plumbing, and electrical plans). If not, an explanation and/or authorization is
required.
Adequate information provided for the engineer/engineering firm?
PE with active license in North Carolina? 2H .0205(d)(1)(A)(iii) or 2H .0203(28)
♦ Ensure that ALL pertinent P.E.s have active licenses by checking the NC Professional
Engineer's Board web site (www.ncbels.org - the PE number must be six digits, use leading 0
when needed).
♦ If the PE seal number does not show up on the web site database, call the PE Board for
verification [phone].
Drafting a Permit
♦ In order to be consistent, use the most current version of the Fast -Track permit shell (see DWQ
Intranet). This permit shell contains specific language with respect to the Minimum Design Criteria,
regulations, and collection system permitting. The NDPU will notify you of any changes to this permit
shell.
♦ Be specific with respect the system description and information. Indicate the flow, what the project
will be serving, length and size of gravity sewer lines and force mains, etc. For projects involving
pump stations, the size of the pump stations, as well as the reliability option and any additional info
(telemetry, odor control system, etc) should be included. A sample permit is on the DWQ Intranet.
♦ Add or remove any special conditions as necessary. Please call attention to any non-standard permit
conditions in the cover letter of the permit and include the permit condition where necessary. See the
Example Special Conditions document.
♦ If the project is a modification, don't forget to include the system description from the previous permit
and void the previous permit in the language!
Denying a Project
♦ If the Reviewer/Supervisor determines that an application package should be denied because it can
not meet NC Statutes, rules or regulations, then a denial letter should be drafted. Special attention
should be paid to the statutory deadline for permitting. If it is thought that a project might be
denied, it is important to review it and draft the denial letter as soon as possible. There must
be time allowed for the denial letter to be sent up to the Director and signed prior to the
statutory date.
♦ The Reviewer should use the Application Denial Letter template to prepare a denial package for the
Supervisor's review and submittal to the Director for signature. The letter should not be dated, but
instead will be dated after the Director signs it. A memo to the Director should be attached to the top
of the denial package summarizing the reasons for denial. This package must be singed off on by the
reviewer, supervisor, Section Chief, and Director. Distribute the letter as directed in "Issuing a
Permit" below.
Issuing a Permit
♦ Permits should be signed only by those delegated to sign for the Director.
Permits should be distributed as follows (include the signed Operational Agreement if applicable):
✓ Original to the Permittee
✓ Copy to the consulting engineer
✓ Copy to the county health department
✓ Copy to the Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Protection for all projects located
in Mecklenburg County
✓ Copy(ies) to the owner of the WWTF and owner of the downstream sewers (if different than the
Perm ittee)
✓ Electronic Copy and Hard Copy to the NDPU for our files
✓ Copy to Central Files (attach application package and any supporting documents)
✓ Save an electronic version named W000XXXXX.doc in a folder on your office shared drive or
hard drive. Try to keep your drafts and issued files separate.

RE: Permit Number - WQ0022933
Town Creek Sewer Line Extension
Clay County Water & Sewer District
Dear Ms. Becker:
Based on our conversation Wednesday morning I am forwarding you a set of
power reliability calculations for the proposed upgrades to the Riverside Pump Station. I
called and spoke with the Clay County Water and Sewer District maintenance personnel
and they confirmed that they do have a portable generator and that the existing Riverside
Pump Station is equipped with a "pig tail" connection. However, they have never had to
use the portable generator due to power reliability in and around the Town of Hayesville.
Mr. Bruce Davenport of Blue Ridge EMC has stated that one of the main power
supply lines called the Tusquittee feeder line serves the Town of Hayesville and both the
existing Riverside Pump Station and the Town Creek Pump Station. He also stated that
the longest power outage over the past three (3) years lasted no longer than a half an
hour. Mr. Davenport is in the process of mailing me a hard copy with this information.
Should power failure occur for an extended period of time, the upgraded
Riverside Pump Station would become a priority for portable power supply. Based on
the power outage information and the estimated flows into the Riverside Pump Station,
calculations were performed to illustrate power reliability. The enclosed power reliability
calculations indicate a storage capacity of approximately 19,800 gallons in the wet well
and portions of the upstream sewer system that can contain a flow of 37 GPM for 9 hours

without resulting in a sanitary sewer overflow. At an estimated peak flow of 148 GPM
the flow could be contained for approximately two (2) hours without resulting in a
sanitary sewer overflow. Please note again that the longest recorded power outage over
the last three (3) years is approximately 30 minutes.
If you have any questions regarding this letter or the enclosed calculations, please
do not hesitate to call.

for GRAVITY SEWERS, PUMP STATIONS, AND FORCE MAINS
(Pressure sewers systems are not to be included as part of this application package)
,STRUCTIONS: Indicate that you have included the following list of required application package items by checking the
pace provided next to each item. Failure to submit all required items will lead to your application being returned as
incomplete or additional processing and review time. This form may be photocopied for use as an original.
® I. Application Form - Submit one original and one copy of the completed and appropriately executed application
form. Any changes to this form will result in the application being returned. The Division of Water Quality
(Division) will only accept application packages that have been fully completed with all applicable items
addressed. You do not need to submit detailed plans and specifications unless you respond NO to Item B(12)
oil. Application Fee - Submit a check in the amount of $400 made payable to: North Carolina Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR).
❑ III. Certificates of Public Convenience and Necessity — If the application is being submitted in the name of a
privately -owned public utility, submit two copies of the Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN)
which demonstrates that the public utility is authorized to hold the utility franchise for the area to be served by the
sewer extension. If a CPCN has not been issued, provide two copies of a letter from the North Carolina Utilities
Commission's Public Staff that states that an application for a franchise has been received, that the service area
is contiguous to an existing franchised area, and/or that franchise approval is expected. The project name in the
CPCN or letter must match that provided in Item A(2a) of this application.
❑ IV. Operational Agreements — Submit one original and two copies of a properly executed operational agreement if
the sewer extension is permitted by a private applicant and will be serving residential or commercial lots (e.g.,
houses, condominiums, townhomes, outparcels, etc.) that will be sold to another entity. If the applicant is a
homeowners' association, use Form HOA 02/03. If the applicant is a developer, use Form DEV 02/03. EVEN IF
THE PROJECT WILL BE TURNED OVER TO A MUNICIPALITY, FORM DEV 02/03 IS REQUIRED.
❑ V. Flow Acceptance Letters — If the owner of the downstream sewers and/or WWTF is different from the applicant,
submit two copies of a flow acceptance letter from the owner of the downstream sewers and WWTF, if different.
Flow acceptance letters must contain the following minimum information: applicant and project name, amount of
flow accepted, and name and permit number of the receiving sewers/WWTF. The flow acceptance must not
expire prior to permit issuance and must be dated less than a year prior to the application date.
Intergovernmental agreements or other contracts will not be accepted in lieu of a project -specific flow acceptance
letter.
® VI. Map — Submit an 8.5-inch by 11-inch copy of the portion of a 7.5-minute USGS Topographic Map along with this
form. The map should identify the entire project area location as well as the closest downslope surface waters as
clearly as possible. Each map portion must be labeled with the map name and number, the identified location,
and be of clear and reproducible quality. For instance, if the project involves 4 miles of interceptor sewer that
traverses over or near several different waterbodies (or counties, basins, etc.), the map should have location ID's
for each different waterbody (where the sewer line is within 100 feet of such waterbody - see Instruction VII).
® VII. Stream Classifications — Section C AUG
• If any portion of the project is within 100 feet of any down slope surface water, Section C must be completed
for the pertinent sections.
• If the entire project area is a minimum of 100 feet away from any down slope surface;waters BUT there is a
pump station involved where a history of power outage is to be used to provide a-- Date'design storage
instead of dual feed or permanent or portable generator, Section C must be completed to demonstrate that
the closest down slope surface water is Class C (see 15A NCAC 2H .0219(h)(3)(D)).
• Use the guidance document entitled, "Determining Watershed Classifications for Form FTA 02/03 (Fast -Track
Sewer Systems)" available from http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndpu or by contacting the appropriate regional
office.

The following items need additional or correctional work before the project can be
closed out:
1. Town Creek Lift Station:
a. On the pump station hatch, the notches should be cut down on both sides for the
drainage from the lip around the perimeter of the hatch.
b. ` A pump draw down test needs to be done on the pump station to verify the
delivery rate of the pumps.
c. Reduce the length of the electrical power lines to the pumps to about 5 or 6 feet
lengths.
d. Shorten the length of the electrical cables of all four (4) floats.
e. On the access valve vault hatch, cut one notch on the side opposite the ladder
for drainage.
f. Dram port needs to be cored on the access hatch for the valve vault.Locate the
port on the left side of the hatch as you look into the vault.

g. In the valve vault, chip out a little bit of the mortar around the drain pipe going
back to the wet well, and also clean the mud and debris out of the bottom of the
vault.
h. On the pressure gauges, the valve cock handle rubs against the tap on the pipe.
The handles need to be bent out slightly.
i. On the rods for the check valves, the Contractor needs to check to see if there is
a pin required on the opposite end of the weight.
j . Tighten the hasp on the hatch on the main wet well.
I. There are several bare spots around the wet well that need dressing and
reseeding.
1. The County is going to go ahead and take care of relocating the fence with their
own forces.
in. The Contractor is advised to remove the couple of old pipes that are still lying
around the job site.
n. Need to check and make sure that the generator plug on the electrical panel is
oriented sufficiently to where the plug can be connected.
2. Blair Creek Pump Station:
a. Just outside the gate, the Contractor needs to dress this area up where gravel
and dirt has mixed together. Provide additional gravel in this area and grade
evenly.
b. The Contractor was advised to check both pump stations for the generator
connection and make sure the portable generator will work with each pump
station with the phasing and rotation.
c. The electrical cables at this pump station, ` including the power leads to the
pumps and the floats, need to be trimmed down to about 5 to 6 feet flexible
lengths.
d. On the wet well hatch there is a small notch that needs to be cut and widened.
The notches need to be about 2 inches wide in the frame for the hatch.
e. There is some floating debris in the wet well that needs to be removed.
f. The small trailer next to the pump station site needs to be reconnected to sewer;
it was disconnected during construction.

g. On the valve vault hatch there is a small notch that needs to be cut and widened
about 2 inches wide.
h. There is some miscellaneous trash and debris in the bottom of the valve vault
that needs to be removed.
i. The left pump (looking down from the float side of the hatch) was making kind
of a knocking noise that needs to be checked out with the pump vendor to see if
there might be a problem.
The pumps pumped approximately 400 gallons in one (1) minute. It pumped
down approximately 1.9 feet in a 6-foot diameter wet well. Pressure reading on
the gauge is 35 pounds.
3. At the sewer lines inspection the following items need attention
a. Starting at station 10+00 from the Blair Creek pump station, the Owner of the
mini storage sheds asked that the creek bank be riprapped. It is undetermined
now whether it was originally riprapped or if it has been disturbed by the sewer
construction, the Contractor needs to verify this. Also this area needs pavement
repair, the Contractor also needs to verify if this was disturbed by the sewer
construction.
b. At manhole 13+00, Line D, and manhole 10+00, Line F, manhole D-1 okay.
Need to ask Warren about patching the entrance road to the little mini -storage
sheds, patching the pavement back. It appears that the pavement was originally
cut off square and needs repaired back so that it is square.
c. Manhole at station 26+58, on Line F, in front of Carl Patterson Carpet Sales
needs a flush topand lid.

The revised County of Clay Preliminary Engineering Report has been reviewed by
the Division of Water Quality. The project consists of the replacement of 16,20011 of 8-
inch gravity sewer line (and associated manholes); the replacement of 2-inch force main
sewer line with 2,87511. of 3-inch force main sewer line; the replacement of 6 manholes;
the replacement of one pump station; and associated electrical work, site work, and asphalt
repair. Project costs are estimated at $1,333,099 and our grant participation will be limited
to this. The approval of the revised report supersedes the July 9, 1999 approval of the
original report. This report is hereby given approval.
A State High -Unit Cost Grant has been requested for this project. The project falls
within the minimum criteria for which the environmental review process is not required.
If the funding source changes to the State Revolving Fund (SRF), then the environmental
review process must be reinstated.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact Mr. Rob Brown at

Comments on Plans and Specifications
Clay County Water and Sewer District
Sanitary Sewer Improvements
Second Round Comments
The following items must be addressed prior to the approval of the plan documents:
General Comments:
1. Provide a copy of the approved Sedimentation and Erosion Control Permit from the
Division of Land Quality or a letter from them stating that no permit is required for this
project. Confirm that any requirements were incorporated in the design.
2. For all stream crossings provide a copy of the 401 Water Quality Certification and Army
Corps of Engineer' s 404 Permit, or provide a letter from the Corps stating that none is
required for this project.
3. Confirm that all mitigative measures required by other permits and environmental
assessments have been incorporated in the plans and specifications. Provide a summary of
those measures in your written response.
4. Provide engineering calculations to confirm the existing sewer lines have adequate
capacity to convey the additional flows from new lines to the WWTP. Specifically
confirm with calculations, the capacity of the receiving line at the discharge location of the
force main from the lift station on Town Creek. At a minimum, the sewer should have
sufficient capacity to handle the peak flow with the sewer full. This evaluation should be
based upon 20-year flow projections for all tributary lines.
5. If funding is desired, gravity sewer work must be broken out in the bid by unit price for
various ranges of depth.
6. The information from a reasonable subsurface investigation should be made available to
the contractor. Any changes associated with rock will not be eligible for funding if a
reasonable subsurface investigation is not performed and made available to the contractor.
If not included in the specifications, the specifications must advise where a copy of the
report can be observed. Typically, we anticipate a boring every 500 feet on line work and
at all key structures.
SDP/Clay Cty/DMU p&srev2/2-28-2000

7. Provide electrical plans and specifications for the pump station and any other work that
requires electricity to operate. For projects with SCADA systems, the control wiring
should be shown on the plans and specified.
8. We expect separate prime contracts in lieu of single prime contracts when the total project
cost exceeds $100,000 and the electrical work exceeds $20,000. Provide an estimate of all
electrical work, and show that it falls below the threshold that requires separate prime
contracts. Standby power generation should be considered part of the electrical work.
9. The specifications should clearly indicate which contractor is required to provide and
install the control panels for each piece of equipment. Some specs require the general
contractor to provide the control panels and the electrical contractor to install them. Some
specs require the electrical contractor to provide and install the panels. Either method is
acceptable as long as the requirements are clear.
SDP/Clay Cty/DMU p&srev2/2-28-2000

Sheet C2
1. The inclusion of the force main in the project will require that the Preliminary Engineering
Report be revised and approved. However, funding must be limited to the original amount
requested.
2. Typically we expect force mains to be a minimum of 4 inches in diameter. Please revise
the plans and specifications accordingly or provide a sound engineering basis for the
smaller selection. Such basis must address maintenance issues associated with smaller
force mains. If the 4 inch force main is to be selected please provide pump curves and
calculations for the pumps and wet well.
Sheet C8
1. Please clarify how the existing WWTP will be abandoned. How will stormwater that
accumulates in the open tanks and drying beds be disposed of? Will existing equipment be
returned to the owner or discarded?
Sheet C18
1. Provide a connection at the pump station for a portable generator hook up. Audio and
visual high water alarms must be included. In the event that the pump station is located
in a remote site, the alarm should also be connected to an autodialer or SCADA system.
2. Plans should clearly show the existing source of power. Advise if the existing power
source is adequate. If not, clearly identify the contractor's responsibility for its upgrade.

A. SCOPE OF REPORT
The purpose of this
report is to evaluate
capital
project alternatives for
the
immediate upgrade
and expansion of the
Town
of Hayesville's water
and
sewer system. The Town will transfer ownership of the water and sewer
systems to Clay County effective July 1, 1995, which will independently own
and operate the systems in the future. This report contains specific technical
and budget recommendations to help the county attain compliance with all
current regulatory requirements and begin operation on a solid financial base.
This report draws heavily upon the background data contained in "Water and
Sewer Study, Town of Hayesville/Clay County, North Carolina", dated May,
1991, authored by McGill Associates. In general, this report expands on the
short-term recommendations of the previous study, serving as an
implementation tool to facilitate county operation over the first few years. The
aforementioned study remains important in terms of long-range water and
sewer infrastructure planning through the year 2010.
B. PROJECT AREA
Clay County is located in the far southwestern portion of North Carolina. The
County is bordered on the north and west by Cherokee County, from which it
was formed in 1861. Macon County is located immediately to the East with
Union, Towns, and Rabun Counties in Georgia bordering to the south. The
Page 1

region is largely mountainous characterized by the long ridges and broad valleys
which are typical of the most of western North Carolina.
Nearly 50 percent of Clay County is federally owned either through inclusion in
the Natahala National Forest or as part of Lake Chatuge. The latter
impoundment covers 7200 acres part of which is located in the southern part
of the County. The remaining acreage is located in Towns County, Georgia.
Constructed by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) in 1941, the earthen
dam impounds the Hiawassee River for power generation and recreational
purposes. The lake also serves as the water supply for the Town of Hiawassee
and portions of Towns County..
The population of Clay County was 7,155 persons in 1990. Hayesville, the
County seat had a 1990 population totaling 279 persons. Hayesville currently
provides water and/or sewer service to 493 customers residing inside and
outside Town limits.
Page 2

A. GENERAL
Over the preceding decade the Town of Hayesville and Clay County have
begun to see an increase in the commercial and residential development,
generated in part by the recreational activities in and around Lake Chatuge.
The improvements to US Highway 64 and NC 69 will continue to make this
area more accessible for tourists and seasonal residents. The commercial
activity associated with the increasing number of visitors, particularly along
highway corridors, will be a valuable economic asset to both the Town and
County. This economic growth has placed an increasing burden on the Town
to provide infrastructure support, particularly in terms of water and sewer
service. Unfortunately, the Town's existing water and sewer systems are at or
near capacity. Furthermore, the Town lacks the financial resources to upgrade
and expand the systems to meet the needs of residential, commercial and
industrial development.
Clay County was proposed as an alternate management entity of the water
and sewer systems. The County proposes to assume the Town's existing
indebtedness and in return receive ownership of the existing water and sewer
assets, on July 1, 1995. The County is also applying for financial assistance
through various grant agencies to assist in funding construction of
miscellaneous capital improvements, which are necessary to bring the systems
back into regulatory compliance and to meet anticipated economic growth.
Page 3

This report recommends augmenting the current water supply of five (5) deep
wells with three (3) additional wells to meet existing and near -term demands.
Potential sites have been identified near the Truitt Bible Camp on US 64 West,
Cherry Road near intersection with NC69, and near the Blair Creek crossing on
SR 1100. The Town's five (5) existing wells must also be upgraded to meet
North Carolina Division of Environmental Health (NCDEH) regulations. This will
necessitate the addition of flowmeters and corrosion control chemical feed
equipment at each well head. Other water improvements include
approximately 1,000 LF 6-inch potable water line to serve the new Industrial
Park west of the Town Limits, and approximately 4,800 LF 6-inch water line
along NC 69 south from the US 64 intersection. New water meters will be
installed to serve 50 existing customers whose water service is not currently
metered. Also, the existing 50,000 gallon storage tank located on Town
Mountain will be upgraded with new fabricated steel cover and membrane
liner.
C. SEWER
This report recommends constructing a new 200,000 gallon wastewater
treatment plant on the Hiawassee River near the mouth of Tusquittee Creek.
The new plant will accept flow from approximately one half of the current
service area, relieving the existing Town Creek treatment plant, which is
currently at capacity and regularly violates its discharge permit. In fact the
Town is currently under a sewer moratorium through the North Carolina
Page 4

Division of Environmental Management (NCDEM) which prevents new sewer
connections until permit compliance is attained.
Other sewer improvements include approximately 6,000 LF 8-inch gravity
sewer along Town Creek to replace older deteriorated lines and extend a new
line to the new Industrial Park, and approximately 2,200 LF 8-inch gravity
sewer is proposed along the Hiawassee River to connect to the new treatment
plant. A new 100 gpm pump station is proposed on Blair Creek at the NC 69
crossing in confunction with approximately 2,000 LF of 8-inch gravity sewer.
Page 5

. A. WATER
Hayesville uses five (5) deep wells as the source of its present water supply.
The wells have served the Town adequately since 1964. Capacity of the
existing wells is shown in Table III-1 below.
TABLE III-1
EXISTING WATER SUPPLY WELLS
TOWN OF HAYESVILLE
Normal well system operation calls for two (2) wells to operate simultaneously.
The pumped water is chlorinated at each well head with Sodium Hypochlorite.
An additional well (not listed above) located near the Clay County Care Center
is also being used at present. However, due to location restrictions it cannot
be permitted under current North Carolina Division of Environmental Health
Page 6

(NCDEH) regulations. The well must have a 100 foot radius non -contamination
area void of structures, streams and sewers. The well in question has only a
45 foot radius non -contamination zone. It is likely that this well will have to be
abandoned in the near future, unless additional property can be secured.
The Town's potable water distribution system includes approximately 13 miles
of larger mains and smaller service laterals, ranging in size from 3/4 inch to 8
inches in size. While the central downtown and US 64 bypass areas of the
system have a strong looped configuration, several other outlying areas are
quite fragmented and have experienced reduced system pressures. The
distribution system includes. elevated storage consisting of two (2) concrete
ground storage reservoirs, located on Town Mountain, off Davis Road. The
older tank has a 50,000 gallon capacity and is approximately 60 years in age.
In order to meet current regulations the NCDEH requires that a fabricated steel
cover and membrane liner be installed. The tank is required in conjunction with
the larger tank to provide a minimum level of storage capacity for the system.
The newer and larger reservoir, which has a 150,000 gallon capacity, was
constructed in 1964. Both reservoirs are connected by a common pipe to the
distribution system but have separate overflows at an approximate elevation of
2000 ft. mean sea level (MSL)
B. SEWER
The Town uses a conventional gravity sewer system to collect and convey
wastewater to a centralized treatment facility located on Town Creek. The
collection system consists of 10-inch, 8-inch and 6-inch lines. It also includes
Page 7

nine (9) lift stations, five (5) of which are owned and maintained by the Town.
The remainder are privately owned and operated. A listing of these pumping
stations is shown in Table III-2.

The Town maintains and operates a complete mix, extended aeration activated
sludge wastewater treatment plant. Constructed in the 1960's, the plant
has a permit for 97,000 gpd capacity and processed an average of 81,000 gpd
during 1994. Original plant components include bar screen, aeration basin,
clarifier and aerobic digester. The treatment plant has been upgraded three (3)
times in the past 10 years. The first upgrade involved the replacement of the
original surface aerator with blowers to deliver diffused air and the addition of
Page 8

chlorination and flow measurement capability. A second upgrade added
influent equalization and pumping and dechlorination facilities. The most recent
upgrade was the installation of a 25,000 gpd package aeration treatment unit,
including expanding the chlorination/dechlorination process to include new
contact basin and feed facilities. A new head box and equalization pumps
were also added. The Town holds NPDES Permit No. NC0026697 which
allows discharge to Town Creek under secondary limitations (30 mg/L BOD5,
30 mg/L TSS)

A. EXISTING CUSTOMER BASE
The Town of Hayesville served 493 total water and sewer customers at the
end of 1994, according to the breakdown in Table IV-1 below.

Service Shut-off * 50
The service shut-off includes seasonal customers, accounts on properties sold
during the year, and service terminations.
B. PROJECTED GROWTH
Clay County grew at an approximate 2.0 percent annual rate between 1980
and 1990. This rate will be used in projecting the growth of water and sewer
users and requirements.
Page 10

C. WATER DEMANDS
Analysis of the Town of Hayesville water sales for 1994 show total sales of
26,355,084 gallons. This corresponds to an average daily demand of 86,700
gpd, assuming the typical 20% for unaccounted for water in the distribution
system.
In order to project future water demands, a system growth rate must be
assumed. The County will no doubt want to expand their service area as
aggressively as possible to meet the needs of future development. For
purposes of this report, a service area expansion rate of 2.0 percent annually
is assumed. This is consistent with 2.0 percent population growth rate
observed County -wide.
Table IV-2 presents future average and maximum daily potable water
demands of the new County owned and operated system:

D. WASTEWATER FLOWS
The existing wastewater treatment plant on Town Creek received an average
of 81,000 gpd during the calendar year 1994. Maximum daily flows were
approximately 75 percent higher, on a monthly basis. These higher flows are
observed primarily during wet weather when inflow/infiltration (1/1)
contributions to the sewer system are significant. The Town is in the process
of completing an 1/1 study which will identify the problem areas in the collection
system. In the coming months, the Town plans to rehabilitate these areas with
the goal of reducing influent flows to the point where the NCDEM will lift the
sewer moratorium.
Monitoring reports indicate that wastewater flows have increased 4.0 percent,
over the past five (5) years, although historical trends indicate only a 2.0
Page 12

present increase. It is suspected that 1/1 contributions have increased
significantly in the past few years, thereby skewing the statistics. Assuming
that the Town and County will reduce 1/1 flows in the future, flows will
probably increase more modestly, in line with the service area growth rate.
Therefore, future wastewater flows are assumed to increase at 2.0 percent.
Table IV-3 present future average and maximum daily wastewater flows of the
new County owned and operated system.

A. INTRODUCTION
Clay County will have limited capital resources to expand the existing
infrastructure. Therefore, this study explores only those improvements
deemed essential to maintaining the integrity of the existing water and sewer
system and providing reasonable growth capacity.
B. WATER
The two (2) primary options available ,to the County to improve and expand
the potable water supply and distribution system are as follows:
1. Option 1 - Purchase Water From Towns County Water Authority
The Town of Hiawassee, Georgia operates a surface water treatment
plant, located on Lake Chatuge south of the Town. While the Town
operates and maintains the plant, Hiawassee and Towns County have
formed a water authority to provide water service on a county wide
basis. The Towns County Water Authority has expanded service mains
quite rapidly in recent years and now provides water service up to and
across the North Carolina state line in two (2) areas along Georgia Route
Page 14

17 (NC 69) and Georgia Route 75 around the western and eastern areas
of Lake Chatuge.
The treatment plant has considerable excess capacity treating 500,000
gallons on an average daily basis with capacity to safely furnish
2,000,000 gallons per day. Preliminary contact with Hiawassee and
Towns County officials indicates that the Authority would be amenable
to negotiation of a long-term agreement for the wholesale purchase of
water by the County. Capital improvement necessary under this option
include 500 gpm booster pumping station at the State Line, 26,000 feet
6-inch water line along NC 69, and 250,000 gallon storage tank on
Cherry Mountain.
This option also includes the extension of approximately 1,000 LF 6-inch
water line to serve the industrial park.
2. Option 2 - Supplemental Deep Wells
In order for the County to meet the expected increase in water usage
within the existing system, it will be necessary to develop additional
wells with the capability of meeting the increased demand. As
previously mentioned, the well near the Clay County Care Center will
probably need to be abandoned and a well developed as its replacement.
NCDEH guidelines require that groundwater system meet average daily
demands over 12 hours of pumping time. This means that at the
projected maximum water consumption for the planning period,
approximately 125 gallons per minute of water, over and above the
Page 15

production of the four existing wells, will be required to meet the
criteria. It is impossible to determine the number of wells required at
this time. However, depending on well yield, it is a reasonable
assumption that three (3) wells would be necessary. NCDEH would
approve the well sites prior to drilling, sampling and construction.
This option also includes the extension of approximately 1,000 LF 6-inch
water line to serve the industrial park, approximately 4,800 LF 6-inch
water line south along NC 69 and upgrading of the existing 50,000
gallon storage tank.
C. SEWER
As previously noted, the Town of. Hayesville's existing wastewater treatment
plant (WWTP) on Town Creek is operating at or near capacity. Furthermore,
the NCDEM has indicated that Town Creek is water quality limited and that no
additional discharge will be permitted given the existing limitations.
The proposed
200,000 gallon
per day
wastewater treatment plant
to be
located on the
Hiawassee River
near the
mouth of Tusquittee Creek
would
relieve the pressure on the existing plant. Businesses and industries currently
located in this area which are not connected to the sewer system could be
served and those which are being served by the existing WWTP could be
transferred to the new plant, at reduced pumping costs. This would allow the
existing WWTP to accept new customers. These include the proposed
industrial park which would be a valuable draw for additional economic growth
and employment for in area. Approximately 2,200 LF of eight inch gravity
Page 16

sewer will be required to connect the existing sewer line along US 64 to the
new WWTP and approximately 6,000 LF of 8-inch sewer line to serve the
proposed industrial park from the existing WWTP. The latter includes
approximately 2,000 LF of 8-inch sewer to be replaced at a lower grade to
allow gravity sewer service to the Industrial Park. The improvements also
include a new 100 gpm pump station on Blair Creek at the NC 69 crosssing
and approximately 2,000 LF 8-inch gravity sewer south on NC 69.

A. GENERAL
Clay County must avoid immediate assumption of significant capital debt in order to
maintain a reasonable user rate schedule, according to the results of a preliminary
cash flow analysis. Recognizing this fact, the only practical alternative is Option 2 -
Drill Supplemental Deep Wells/Hiawassee River WWTP.
B. PROJECT LOCATION
Figure VI-1 shows the location of the proposed water improvements. Figure VI-2
shows the location of the proposed sewer improvements. Figure VI-3 shows the
proposed alignment of the new Town Creek sewer to serve the Industrial Park.

D. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS
The water and sewer improvements proposed do not impact environmental resources
to any great extent. The following statements may be made concerning the
environmental impact of the proposed improvements while recognizing the locations
of these improvements are, at this juncture, preliminary:
a. Floodplain
The Hiawassee River sewer routing and wastewater treatment plant fall
within the documented flood hazard area (no frequency information
available) as identified by the Federal Emergency Management Agency
(FEMA). However the River is regulated by controlled releases from
Lake Chatuge and does not now rise to historical levels. The sites
proposed are therefore outside reasonable flood levels. None of the
other improvements lie within documented floodplains.
b. Wetlands/Wildlife
A gravity sewer and force main is proposed to cross Blair Creek east of
the NC 69 crossing. The crossings are proposed to be subaqueous so
as not to impact trout and other habitats. No filling or dredging is
proposed in conjunction with the construction.
C. Archaeological/Historical
No known archaeological or historical sites will be disturbed as a result
of this project. The State Historic Preservation officer was contacted
regarding this project and had no comment.
