NARRATIVE
City of Goldsboro
Vacuum Sewer System Design
The City of Goldsboro annexed an existing development located northwest of the City's limits. The
area is near the intersection of Buck Swamp Road and Salem Church Road, referred to as Annexation
Area XI. The area consists of existing residential and commercial establishments including retail
shopping, churches and schools. This project involves design and construction of the sanitary sewer
system required as part of the annexation.
Project Scope
Currently the residents of the existing development dispose of wastewater via septic tanks. In order
to be compliant with annexation regulations, a sanitary sewer system needs to be installed. The
project involves construction of a vacuum sewer system under three contracts. One contract will be
for rough grading at the vacuum station site. The second will be for construction of the vacuum
station. The third is for construction of the vacuum collection system.
A single vacuum/pumping station will serve the entirety of Annexation Area XI (approximately 430
residential and commercial connections). Only a very small portion of the area has curb and gutter.
The remainder consists of ditches and driveway culverts. The system is designed, however, such that
it can accommodate a potential future annexation area, XII.
Wetlands/Streams/Riparian Buffer Impacts
This project is adjacent to a UT to the Little River within the Neuse river basin. Vacuum piping will
cross the UT and encroach upon the riparian buffer zone. Wetlands have been identified within the
project area. However, none are impacted on the proposed vacuum/pumping station property. The
Corps of Engineers will review the project to provide Jurisdictional Determinations for streams and
wetlands and state any mitigation requirements under their purview. If mitigation is needed for
streams or wetlands by USCOE or DWO, the City desires to work with a private bank and it will be
the first time. Thus an Agreement would need executed and a letter of reservation obtained. Buffer
mitigation is necessary as stated in the PCN.
Of note is that the vacuum/pumping station site is several parcels south of the annexation area.
There are multiple main vacuum pipes aligned together and extending to the station property. The
diameters of the three main pipes are 10 and 12 inches. There is also a 2-inch water service being
brought to the station along the same corridor. To maintain the proper separations and because of
the pipe diameters, the proposed permanent easement width is 50 feet in this area. It would be
impractical and unfeasible from a cost, construction and impact standpoint to separate the pipes
into four separate utility easements. We also do not believe that idea would be the desire of the
agencies as additional wetland and stream areas would be disturbed.
Most of the stream and wetland crossings will be via bore and jack methods using encased pipe.
However, one stream and other wetland areas are proposed for open cut installation.
Erosion & Sedimentation Control
Erosion and sedimentation controls (ESCs) planned at the vacuum/pumping station site include
super silt fence with outlets, a stabilized construction entrance, rip rap lined swales with stabilized
outlets, a dry detention basin (for permanent stormwater control), sediment filter bags and
protected staging/stockpile areas. The limits of disturbance on the station site are outside the
riparian buffer zone and wetland areas.
There are two phases of construction for the station site. The rough grading contract will involve
initial clearing and rough grading of the site, including the access road. In this phase the identified
super silt fence, swales and the dry detention basin will be constructed. In this stage most of the
runoff will reach the southern Swale while the northern portion of the property will have overland
flow. Upon completion of the rough grading, the ESCs will remain and the area stabilized. The next
phase of the actual construction of the station will commence with continued maintenance of the
controls throughout. After the station building is constructed, the two catch basins will be installed
that direct runoff to each of the two swales. Final grading and stabilization will then occur.
For construction of the vacuum collection system, the contractor will only be allowed to disturb
what can be backfilled and stabilized each day. Construction is along a linear corridor (right of ways
and easements) where roadside ditches are primarily located and also in front of residences. The
City has requested sodding of front lawns and seeding in easement areas not in
residential/commercial areas. Silt fence is proposed in areas where boring and receiving pits are
excavated to cross streams and wetlands. Some tree and buffer protection fence is specified.
Standard inlet protection is specified where the daily excavation could cause sediment to enter
nearby storm drains should a sudden rain event occur. Again, there are only a few storm drains in
the project area. Stabilized construction entrances will be used for the noted staging areas.
Stormwater Controls
The project is outside the 100-year flood elevation of 85 feet as indicated in a FEMA FIRM map. The
nutrient contribution from this project is less than 3.6 Ibs/acre and no further nutrient removal
BMPs are necessary. The pre- and post-development calculations do require capture of additional
runoff. This is accomplished by construction of a dry detention basin. This basin is two feet above
the SHWT and will drain through a pipe to a stabilized outlet that provides diffuse flow. The
detention basin will also collect from one catch basin in addition to the rip rap lined swale. Another
catch basin will direct flow to the northern rip rap lined swale which also leads to a stabilized outlet
to provide diffuse flow.
Vacuum System Design
The vacuum collection system has been designed for Annexation Area XI. There could be an adjacent
annexation of Area XII. Thus the vacuum/pumping station has been designed to accommodate peak
flows from this and the future annexation areas. The pumps will have variable frequency drives to
provide a minimum of two feet per second in the force main and address future needs. The force
main is being designed and permitted by another consultant, Cox-Edwards. The design is based on
our pumping station specifications. Another consultant, Hazen and Sawyer, maintains the hydraulic
model for the City. They have performed modeling on the receiving sewers using the proposed Area
XI design flows provided by Stearns & Wheler. A sealed letter of downstream sewer capacity is
enclosed in the application package.

Ms. Marie Doklovic, P.E.
3128 Highwoods Blvd, Ste 140
Raleigh, NC 27604
RE: City of Goldsboro Fork Township Annex Area Sewer Line Project Area.
Dear Ms. Doklovic:
The project area is located north of the City of Goldsboro and loosely bounded by Little River on
the south, Livingston Road on the west, Buck Swamp Road on the north, and Salem Church
Road on the east. Portions of the proposed collection system are being designed by two
engineers, Stearns and Wheler GHD, and Cox-Edwards. On 15 January 2010, RJG&A received
mapping of the areas needing stream and wetland determinations along each engineer's
alignments. Stearns and Wheler GHD requires two stream determinations along Buck Swamp
Road, and stream and wetland determinations along off-road alignments extending south from
Kelly Road to the proposed pump station property, and a connecting line from Livingston Road.
Cox-Edwards requires stream and wetland determinations along a proposed crossing of an
unnamed tributary north of Salem Country Road. RJG&A conducted field investigations on 04
and 09 March, 2010. To facilitate the discussions below, streams have been numbered on the
attached Figure 1.
The State of North Carolina protects certain streams in the Neuse River watershed under the
Neuse River Riparian Area Buffer Rules (NRBR). Stream features that show up on either USGS
7.5 topographic maps or County soil surveys are provided with vegetated buffers. The extent of
each stream is determined through on-the-ground investigations. These buffers are tiered into
two zones; Zones I and II. Zone I extends landward 30 feet in all directions from a stream bank.
Zone II is an additional 20-foot tier extending landward from Zone I. Zone I is protected much
more aggressively than Zone II, and non-perpendicular impacts should be eliminated wherever
possible.
Stream and wetland features encountered were recorded with sub-meter GPS units to illustrate
their location and extent of supporting graphics. RJG&A utilizes Trimble GeoXT sub-meter
GPS units, but is not a Land Surveying firm and cannot attest to the accuracy of these data. A
professional land surveyor (PLS) should locate each stream feature and wetland flag along and
adjacent to project alignments. Impacts to these features are mitigated on a square- or linear-foot
basis, often with a multiplier, and accurate PLS measurements will ensure your client does not
over-pay for mitigation.
RJG&A is including our GPS data in this delivery to aid the PLS in locating features along the
alignment.

Stearns & Wheler GHD
The proposed collection system will cross two drainage features along Buck Swamp Road. The
new line will be installed on the north side of this road. The western-most drainage feature
(Stream 2) is an intermittent stream on the south side of Buck Swamp Road. This feature
becomes a stream at the downstream end of the culvert under Buck Swamp Road, and not a
stream north of the road. The eastern-most drainage feature (Stream 1) is an intermittent stream
north of Buck Swamp Road, and a perennial stream south of Buck Swamp Road. Both are
protected by the NRBR.
Please review Figure 2, attached. The collection line extending south from Kelly Road crosses a
perennial tributary of Little River (Stream 3), and then south and west along this feature's eastern
floodplain. This stream is protected by the NRBR. Just downstream of this crossing, wetland
CA begins on the stream's south-and eastern floodplain. This wetland continues south and ties
into the tributary immediately north of the confluence of a second tributary, which crosses the
alignment perpendicularly from east to west (Stream 4). This stream is also protected by the
NRBR.
South of this confluence, wetland CB begins and continues south along the floodplain. The
connecting line from Livingston Road crosses wetland CB, and the main tributary (Stream 5)
which is protected by the NRBR. Wetland CB ends just south of this crossing.
Wetland CC is a linear wetland feature which begins at a seep on the floodplain and drains
southwest to its confluence with the unnamed tributary stream. South of Wetland CC, wetland
CD begins. It begins on the adjacent slope as multiple seeps that converge and flow down to the
floodplain. On the floodplain this wetland fans out to its connection with the unnamed tributary
stream. Wetland CD is located on the proposed alignment, and partially on the proposed pump
station property. This is the only jurisdictional feature encountered on the pump station property.
Portions of the proposed alignment also appear to be within the NRBR areas as parallel impacts.
These impacts should be minimized to the extent practicable, and limited to the outer 20 feet if at
all possible.
Cox-Edwards
The Cox-Edwards portion of our investigation was along their alignment's crossing of an
unnamed tributary of Little River, east of the Stearns and Where GHD project area. Please
review Figure 3, attached. The alignment crosses a perennial stream (Stream 6) from west to
east, including its associated wetland; Wetland GF). The alignment continues east and intercepts
a second stream (Stream 7) feature before leaving the tree line. This stream extends east beyond
the tree line and remains intermittent for approximately 160 feet into the adjacent agricultural
field.
A portion of this alignment inside the tree line lies within the stream itself, and should be
realigned. As illustrated on the attached maps, we recommend crossing this feature
perpendicular to its channel and bringing the alignment south to an existing cleared field, and
then resuming its path toward Salem Church Road. The alignment should be located outside
both NRBR zones if at all possible. If buried below tilth depth, no impact to existing agricultural

land use will result.
Wetlands:
Five wetlands were encountered during reconnaissance of the areas specified on mapping
provided to RJG&A. Each wetland was delineated in the field with sequentially numbered pink
survey ribbon. RJG&A followed the guidance of the US Army Corps of Engineers' 1987
Wetland Delineation Manual, including supplemental information and NC Division of Water
Quality Guidance. Wetlands were mapped in the field based on the presence of hydrology,
vegetation, and soil indicators.
Wetlands CA, CB, CC, and CD were found along Stearns and Wheler GHD's alignment, and
Wetland CF was found along Cox-Edwards' alignment. Each of these wetlands were strongly
influenced by hillside seeps which feed them. However, only wetlands CC and CD are
exclusively maintained by these seeps. If impacts to these areas are unavoidable, we recommend
crossings that do not impact their seep origins. These are particularly sensitive areas for wildlife
that depend on fish-free aquatic sites. There are no legal requirements to protect seepage areas.
The remaining three wetlands are located along riparian corridors, and primarily maintained by
overbank flooding and proximity to the local water table. Wetland CF, along the Cox-Edwards
alignment was the only feature encountered that was not delineated in its entirety, because this
wetland is being crossed perpendicularly. Delineation of the entire feature is not necessary, as
the area of impact is delineated thoroughly. The attached Wetland Determination Data Forms
provide detailed information on each of the three indicators present in each of these wetlands.
treamc-
S I
RJG&A followed NC DWQ Guidance for determining the permanence of each stream feature
encountered. Seven streams and six stream crossings were identified along project corridors;
five along Stearns and Wheeler GHD's alignments, and two along Cox-Edwards' alignments.
For the discussions below, the word perpendicular is defined as being between 75 and 105
degrees from the stream. Directionally drilling each crossing is recommended where feasible.
Stream 1 and its associated buffer will be crossed perpendicularly along Buck Swamp Road.
Stream 2 will not be crossed along the alignment on the north side of Buck Swamp Road, but
Zone II of its buffer will.
Stream 3 will be crossed perpendicularly south of Kelly Road, but its buffer will not due to
meandering. Once PLS data are available, we recommend attempting a perpendicular crossing
of both stream and buffer.
Stream 4 and its associated buffer will be crossed perpendicularly.
Stream 5 and its associated buffer will not be crossed perpendicularly. Difficulties with
negotiating easements may preclude a perpendicular crossing in this area, but every attempt
should be made to do so.

Stream 6 and its associated buffer will be crossed perpendicularly.
Stream 7 and its associated buffer will not be crossed perpendicularly. The alignment runs down
this feature for a short length, and parallel to it for much longer. Realigning the project to cross
this feature and its buffer perpendicularly to take advantage of existing fields to the south is
recommended.
Each stream encountered is depicted on either or both, the USGS 7.5 minute topographic
quadrangle map `Northwest Goldsboro, NC', or the Wayne County Soil Survey (1974). The
NRBR do not differentiate between intermittent or perennial streams and protect both types
equally. Project engineers should ensure that survey crews map stream banks within fifty feet of
all project areas to quantify NRBR applicability.

MEMORANDUM:
To: James P. Rowe, Jr. Assistant Planning Director;
Steven R Hilderhoff, P.E.
From: Rama Chittilla, PE, PLS. Engineering Department
Date: October 5, 2010
Subject: Annexation Area 11, Vacuum Station site - Stormwater Calculations
Dear Mr. Rowe,
The Engineering Department has reviewed the referenced site plan for compliance with the
City of Goldsboro's Stormwater Management Ordinance regarding nitrogen loading and
peak runoff requirements.
As depicted, the site plan will meet the requirements for nitrogen export control. The pre-
development nitrogen export is 1.20 lb/ac/yr. Post development nitrogen export will be 2.28
lb/ac/yr. Therefore, this site will meet nitrogen export control requirements.
The site will meet the Peak Runoff requirements of the Stormwater Management Plan. Post
Development peak runoff will be attenuated through the use of an adequately sized Dry
Detention pond to the pre-development peak runoff quantity.
Upon completion of the development and prior to issuance of a Certificate of Occupancy, the
ordinance requires that the post-development peak flow be recalculated based upon "as built"
conditions and that the developer submit an engineering certification (attached) that any
BMP has been properly constructed and is operating properly.
If you have any questions on this review, please contact me.
