NARRATIVE
SEWER SYSTEM:
This public sewer system is currently permitted under WQ0033939 and
WQ0032171 MOD. The first includes 20 3-bedroom single family units on simplex grinder
pump stations that feed into a gravity sewer system. The second includes 125 3-bedroom
single family units which feed into a gravity sewer system. Both systems lead to a 80-gpm
pump station and a 4-inch force main that connects to the existing Brunswick County
sewer force main along Sunset Harbor Rd.
This modification proposes 10 additional 3-bedroom single family units on WQ0033939
and 38 additional 3-bedroom single family units on WQ0032171MOD. The flow increase
is as follows: 2,100 GPD (ASEA WQ0033939) and 7,980 GPD (FTA WQ0032171MOD).
The line lengths and sizes have not changed.
The sewer system will be owned and maintained by Brunswick County Public Utilities.

III. Certification Statement:
I William L. Pinnix, P.E. 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 plus 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.
