Re: Narrative - Sewer Collection System for The Town of Atlantic Beach Public Safety Building
Permit # WQ0032160 Modification
This is a request to allocate some of the previously permitted domestic sewage flow of
The Groves collection permit # WQ0032160, owned by FMB At The Grove, LLC in Atlantic
Beach, NC. This system was originally permitted for 120,000 GPD with an allotment of 1,000
GPD of flow dedicated to the future Town of Atlantic Beach Public Safety Building. This
allotment was a conservative estimate on the Town's needs. This permit request is for 550 GPD
based on the maximum of 22 employees at 25 gal/day/person.
Flow from this facility will be gravity fed to an on -site lift station that will then pump
through a 2" force main to an existing manhole that gravity feeds to The Groves treatment plant.
The Town of Atlantic Beach will be responsible for maintaining the sewer service lines and the
proposed lift station on site as well as the 2" force main that is proposed in the Town's public
right-of-way. Fred Bunn, Owner of The Groves treatment plant has agreed to accept this flow as
we propose the modification of his current permit.
Items included in this permit modification package are an original and a copy of:
1. This Cover Letter
2. One check for $480.00
3. Fast Track Sewer Extension Application, FTA 04-16
4. Flow Tracking Application, FTSE 10-18, Signed by Town of Atlantic Beach
5. Flow Tracking Application, FTSE 10-18, Signed by Fred Bunn
6. USGS Topographic Map
7. Google Earth Aerial Vicinity Map
8. The most recent permit for The Groves collection system
9. Lift Station Calculations
10. Site and Utility Plans
Please review and let me know if you need additional information.

III. Certification Statement:
I Fred M. Bunn 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 phis 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.
