Re: Variance request for acceptance of ed Springs CVS APP 1 c
Sanitary Sewer Main
(At
RLR Project #06-316 0-`�� ",.►'E}i'I'$ do ;
Dear Mr. Blaisdell, /
On behalf of th City of Red Springs, I#ould like to request a variance to accept, as a public in, the
sanitary sewer li fled by te-GdS development located in an out parcel in Red Spring ommons
shopping center.
The existing sanitary sewer main, sloped at 0.261 %, serviced the Red Springs Commons Shopping Center
which consists of a Food Lion with deli, bakery, and market, as well as a few retail shops. The existing line
was situated where a proposed CVS building was to be located so a Perm4t (#WQ0031945) was obtained
through DENR-DWQ to move the sanitary sewer line around the building,bore under NC Highway 211, and
tie-in to the existing sewer main on the south side of the highway. Once construction began, an existing
manhole and bore were found in the same location as the proposed improvements which prevented the bore
and the connection to the existing manhole on the south side of Hwy 211. 'NCDOT would not allow the road
to be cut at this location so the chosen alternative was to tie to the existing me-phole on the North side of Hwy
211. This change resulted in a slope of 0.30%, an increase from the 0.261 % existing main, and compliance
with the requirements of the North Carolina Administrative Code, 15A NCAC 02H .0200 "Waste Not
Discharged to Surface Waters". The proposed PVC pipe calculations (Mannings = 0.009) resulted in a
discharge velocity of 2.74 ft/sec (see attached spreadsheet). The City of Red Springs was made aware of the
proposed design, the improvement over the existing line, and was comfortable with the proposed design.
Through a miscommunication, the plans were not sent back to DENR-DWQ and the line was constructed, and
believed to be in full compliance with all requirements of DENR-DWQ. Upon completion of construction and
submittal of the final certification to DENR-DWQ, we were informed of the 0.40% guideline specified in the
Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria (GSMDC); criteria which do not appear to be referenced in 15A
NCAC 02H .0200. After reading the GSMDC, the discharge velocity was calculated flowing approximately
half full with Mannings = 0.013 as recommended in the GSMDC. This resulted in a discharge velocity of 2.00
ft/sec (see attached calculation), which is consistent with the NCAC.
I appeal to the Construction, Grants, and Loans Section of DENR to accept this sanitary sewer main based
upon the progression of events specified above, the compliance with the known requirements (15A NCAC
02H .0200), and the fact that the GSMDC guidelines were not provided prior to construction or referenced as
part of the administrative code. The CVS store is scheduled for turnover on June 9, 2008 so I would greatly
appreciate your prompt response in regards to this matter. I would also like to reiterate the fact that the
constructed line (0.30%) is an improvement over the existing main (0.261 %) which served Red Springs
Commons shopping center. Thank you so much for your help.
Respectfully,
