Re: SOC/CIP Update Cover Letter

To whom it may concern,
Upon the negotiation of our SOC, the Town of Waynesville was required to meet certain
milestones with specific criteria/dates. One of the specific areas was the updated CIP as well as
mitigation steps on I&I the Town of Waynesville has taken before and after the SOC was in
effect to help reduce/prevent I&I. Listed below will be the mitigation the Town of Waynesville
has completed thus far.

• Ten Year CIP (see attached)
• CDBG Infrastructure Grant
• Smoke Study (McGill and Associates) (see attached)
• Repair(s)/Replacement of current Infrastructure (listed below)
• CCTV (listed below)
• Root Treatment Mitigation (listed below)
• Visual Inspection(s) of Creek Crossings (see attached)

Town of Waynesville
Ten Year CIP (attached)
The Town of Waynesville has implemented a ten-year CIP to address the issues of I&I into our
sanitary sewer system. This will address ongoing problems we have currently or will find in the
future. These finding(s) are and will be from areas such as smoke testing, dye testing, visual and
CCTV inspections. By addressing these issues, the Town of Waynesville should drastically
reduce/eliminate I&I and assist the WWTP with heavy flows during rain events.

Town of Waynesville
CDBG Infrastructure Grant

The Town of Waynesville has some areas that are classified as low to moderate income (LMI).
With this, the Town of Waynesville is eligible for CDBG funding which is allocated for sewer
improvements for these areas. The specific area involved will assist in the reduction of I&I into
our collection system. The CDBG process is a term of three years from submittal to finish which

Web Address: www.waynesvillenc.gov
This institution is an equal opportunity provider
includes a 2M dollar expenditure for two LMI subdivisions.

Town of Waynesville
Sewer Smoke Study (McGill and Associates - attached)
In fall of 2019, the Town of Waynesville contacted McGill and Associates to identify areas of our
sanitary sewer system with smoke testing that may be experiencing I&I. Over a period of 3-5
days the Town of Waynesville assisted McGill in testing over 10,000Lf of gravity sewer lines.
There were several issues found during this time of which the Town of Waynesville has already
begun addressing.

Town of Waynesville
Repair/Replacement
The Town of Waynesville has replaced approximately 1,100Lf of existing sewer infrastructure to
include 4”,6”, and 8” pipe. This would include 310Lf of 4” terracotta pipe being replaced with
SDR-35 pipe. 740Lf of 6” terracotta pipe being replace with SDR-35 and 50Lf of 8” terracotta
pipe replaced SDR-35.

Town of Waynesville
CCTV Inspection

Internally, the Town of Waynesville has inspected approximately 3,000Lf of sewer line(s) via
CCTV. This was an effort to help identify those areas that may have I&I into our sewer system.
This data will be used to create additional CIP items to address along with the current issues of
I&I we are experiencing.

Town of Waynesville
Root Treatment/Mitigation

As we move forward addressing the issue of I&I in the Town of Waynesville sewer system, it has
found to be advantageous to address the ongoing issue(s) of roots in the sewer system to
increase flow as well as alleviate points of intrusion from roots. Our current inventory does
include root dissolving agents to improve flow until such a time that a repair can be made. The
Sewer Maintenance Department does administer this product daily to various sections/laterals
in our system to prevent the growth of roots in the piping.

Town of Waynesville
Visual Inspection (Creek Crossings - attached)

The Town of Waynesville has several creek crossing(s) in our inventory. These crossings vary in
size from 8” to 30” lines. Annually, we inspect these crossings to ensure they are stable and not

This institution is an equal opportunity provider
in any threat of damage or erosion. These mitigations efforts reduce not only I&I but also any
SSO from the collection system.

SOC CIP Summary

As a mandatory part of the ongoing SOC, the documentation requested has either been
explained above and/or available as a separate attachment. The Town of Waynesville will
continue to address I&I issues as budgetary numbers allow to stay in compliance with the SOC.
Additionally, we will continue to make our CIP a top priority to ensure the Town of Waynesville
is making every effort moving forward to eliminate excessive amounts of I&I into our sanitary
sewer system to assist with the treatment process of the existing WWTP as well as the new
upcoming WWTP upgrades. As we move forward to the WWTP upgrades the Town of
Waynesville WWTP/Sewer Maintenance Departments will work closely together, addressing
these issues to better serve not only the Town of Waynesville but the citizens of Waynesville as
well.

FIELD TEST REPORT
TO: Project Participants – 19.00313
FROM: Ivan Messina, Engineering Technician
DATE: November 22, 2019
RE: Smoke Testing Results – Waynesville Sewer System

Overview
Smoke testing is one of the most cost-effective ways to locate defects in sewer mains and laterals.
In this process, artificially produced non-harmful smoke is injected into the sewer line via a
blower placed over a selected manhole. The pressurized smoke travels up and down the sewer
line and connections and emerges at openings in the system. This visual aide allows test crews to
easily identify, record, and mark locations where defects are present. If the sewer is in good
condition, one should only see smoke rising from manhole lids and house roof vents. If the line
has defects, such as breaks or illegal connections, the smoke will emerge at these points.
Investigation
McGill Associates met with town staff, including Water & Sewer Superintendent Jeff Stines on
September 10, 2019 to identify areas that would benefit most from smoke testing. A field
inspection was conducted on September 19, 2019 with sewer maintenance personnel for
preliminary inspection and assessment of the areas to be tested. Sewer lines of concern,
particularly in high I & I sewersheds were selected and mapped according to priority. McGill
Associates prepared detailed maps of these areas based on the City’s GIS database, noting the
locations of houses, schools, and manholes, and the lengths of sewer lines to be tested. This
information was conveyed to the town and the Fire Department, with customers along the routes
to be tested alerted to the upcoming testing by town staff.

MCGILL ASSOCIATES 55 BROAD STREET, ASHEVILLE, NC 28801 / 828.252.0575 / MCGILLASSOCIATES.COM
Methodology
McGill Associates and Town of Waynesville staff smoke tested over 10,000 linear feet of gravity
sewer lines over a period of three days to determine potential locations where I & I may be
entering the wastewater collection system. For each line to be tested, a centrally-located
manhole on which to place the blower was determined based on the manhole’s accessibility and
avoidance of traffic. Each manhole was identified by its GIS number and location, and the
configuration and condition were recorded.
At each location, the following procedure was executed.
1. Place the blower on the manhole (with the rubber seal, if necessary).
2. Fill smoke pump up to ¾ with liquid smoke.
3. Close all smoke pump valves.
4. Start blower and allow to warm up.
5. Open smoke pump valves.
6. Pressurize smoke pump by pumping the canister manually.
7. Once smoke begins emerging from roof vents, begin surveying for smoke emergences
indicating defects or problem areas in the pipeline.
8. For each defect, record the opening type, address, manhole identifier, and notes.
9. Additionally, mark each defect with paint or with marker flag.
Smoke testing took place from October 21st to October 23rd by McGill staff assisted by Town of
Waynesville maintenance personnel. The crew recorded abnormal smoke emergences, which
divided generally into five categories.
1. Broken or uncapped sewer cleanouts: Many cleanout caps were missing or broken. Some
cleanout pipes were bent or punctured. The cumulative number of broken cleanouts in the
town can contribute significant I & I.
2. Broken lines: Line breaks were most often found in service lines to houses. Suspected line
breaks were also found on main sewer lines, which can be confirmed by video testing.
MCGILL ASSOCIATES 55 BROAD STREET, ASHEVILLE, NC 28801 / 828.252.0575 / MCGILLASSOCIATES.COM
3. Unsealed manholes: Some manholes emitted excess smoke indicating cracked concrete or
offset rings. Manholes located in ditches or along streams are most likely to contribute I & I.
4. Connected storm drains and culverts: Storm drains and culverts possibly connected to the
sanitary sewer systems contribute significant amounts of I & I into the system. These
potential cross connections are good candidates for video testing.
5. Unknown: Some smoke occurrences require further investigation to determine the type of
problem or break in the system, either through excavation or video testing.

Descriptions of observances from testing are noted below. In addition, a complete list of tables
with results from each smoke test is attached to this report. Photographs showing some of the
problem areas are included. Maps are also attached that correspond to each area tested, marked
with the test locations and areas of major problems. General problems with cleanouts are not
included on the maps.

Summary of Test Results
Brown Avenue Area
Testing along Brown Ave was performed at three locations, starting at manhole #1905 and
working south to manhole #261. The manholes in this area where surcharged overtopping the
sewer lines and backing up into the manholes. The lines needed to be cleared by Town staff in
order to perform the smoke testing. Large portions of the sewer line and manholes in this area
lie within the 100-year floodplain of Farmers Branch. A significant amount of the sewer manholes
in this area appear to not have sealed manhole rings and covers or proper vents.
The first test location near Hazelview Drive did not indicate any positive evidence of I & I,
although several damaged cleanouts where identified.
The second test location at the intersection of Brown and Georgia Ave indicated positive evidence
of I & I with smoke observed emerging from Farmers Branch where it crosses under Brown Ave,
MCGILL ASSOCIATES 55 BROAD STREET, ASHEVILLE, NC 28801 / 828.252.0575 / MCGILLASSOCIATES.COM
Smoke emerging from the sidewalk on Georgia Ave to the west of Brown Ave, and smoke from a
storm drain pipe just off Georgia Ave near the railroad tracks to the west of Brown Ave. In
addition, several damaged cleanouts were identified. Further investigation should be performed
using video testing and should include Georgia Ave west of Brown Ave, and Brown Ave north of
Georgia Ave to determine the cause of these positive smoke tests.
The third test location along Brown Ave was at the intersection of Carolina Ave. Positive evidence
of I & I were noted at multiple areas from this test, which was able to blow smoke south past
Hazelwood Ave. Smoke was observed emerging from storm sewers at Brown Ave, Hazelwood
Ave, and Carolina Ave. In addition, broken cleanouts were observed throughout the area and a
damaged home service line were identified. Video testing should be performed along Brown Ave
south past Hazelwood Ave, along Carolina Ave and north and south of Brown Ave on Hazelwood
Ave.
Hazelwood Area
Testing in the Hazelwood area was performed at nine locations, most of which were
concentrated in the neighborhood to the southwest of the Waynesville Inn Golf Resort. Portions
of this area lie within the 100-year flood zone for Browning Branch. A significant amount of the
sewer manholes in this area appear to not have sealed manhole rings and covers or proper vents.
Test locations at Norman Street and Swan Street did not produce evidence of I & I, with no visible
smoke emerging from anywhere except damaged cleanouts and roof vents. High flow was
observed at manhole #94 at Swan Street coming from the sewer line to the east. Video testing of
this line is recommended to identify the source of the high flow.
The test location at Epsom Street identified manhole #877 with possible seal failure or poor top
connection at the corner near Epsom and South Main. This manhole should be inspected and
repaired as needed. No other problems were observed from this test location.
Manhole #3386 at the test location on Francis Street is eroded at the outlet and shows signs of
groundwater intrusion around the outlet pipe. Very high flow was observed coming into the
MCGILL ASSOCIATES 55 BROAD STREET, ASHEVILLE, NC 28801 / 828.252.0575 / MCGILLASSOCIATES.COM
manhole from the sewer line to the north, but high flow was not observed at the next upstream
manhole. This section of sewer line should be video tested to identify the source of the high flow.
Smoke was observed emerging from a storm drain near manhole #3385 and several broken
cleanouts were observed in this area.
Testing at manhole #900 at the intersection of Chelsea and Epsom revealed multiple issues. The
manholes in this area are old brick construction with very shallow inverts and are in fair to poor
condition. Smoke emerged from cross connected gutters at a multi-residential building at 100
Chelsea Rd, and at several storm drains nearby, indicating evidence of I & I. Video testing should
be performed to determine if cross connections or poor pipe conditions are present in this area.
Manhole #879 at Chelsea Road was produced evidence of I & I from a broken cleanout in a box
coming from the Waynesville Golf Resort and smoke from storm drains at the entrance to the
Waynesville West condos, the Country Club Spa entrance, and near 84 Chelsea Rd. Video testing
should be performed on this section of sewer line to determine to cause of these problems.
Testing performed on manhole #96 at Browning Rd found several broken cleanouts and evidence
of I & I as smoke emerged from a broken service pipe and the base of a utility pole at 209
Browning Rd. Video testing should be performed near 209 Browning Rd to determine the cause
of this problem.
Camelot St and Belle Meade Dr were tested at manhole #204. Several broken cleanouts and
service lines were observed in this area and a listed on the attached tables. No evidence of I & I
was found in this area.
Shelton Branch Area
Six tests were performed along Shelton Branch, following the waterway from East Street to
Maple Street. The majority of the sewer line in this area lies within the 100-year floodplain of
Shelton Branch. A significant amount of the sewer manholes in this area appear to not have
sealed manhole rings and covers or proper vents.
MCGILL ASSOCIATES 55 BROAD STREET, ASHEVILLE, NC 28801 / 828.252.0575 / MCGILLASSOCIATES.COM
Testing at East Street at manhole #856 and adjacent manhole #886 indicated positive evidence
of I&I as smoke was observed emerging from storm drains at Shelton Branch and near the
intersection of Hospital Dr, as well as from an area between sidewalk and a retaining wall at 116
East St. Some broken cleanouts were also identified in this area. Additional investigation of the
line along East Street should be performed by video testing in order to positively identify possible
cross connections or broken sewer lines to determine a further course of action.
Manhole #665 along Shelton Branch at Welch St was tested with no positive indication of I & I.
The manhole itself needs repair as it leaked smoke where the lid section is bolted to the top
section of the manhole. Several broken cleanouts were observed from the mobile home park
across Welch St from the test manhole.
Manhole #919 in the parking lot of 407 Welch St was tested and no problems were observed in
this area. The manhole has had asphalt debris swept into the invert that is causing flow to be
partially obstructed. An effort should be made to remove this obstruction and restore full flow
to the manhole.
Testing at Maple St manhole #938 and at Boundary St manhole #925 produced several broken
cleanouts and possible evidence of I & I from smoke emerging along the bank of Shelton Branch
near Vance St. This section of line should be video tested to determine the cause of the problem.
Conclusion
Smoke testing of the selected areas of the Waynesville sewer system produced positive evidence
of I & I at multiple locations. These locations should be video tested to further evaluate them for
problems and to pinpoint areas to be repaired. Manholes inspected during testing and found to
be in poor condition should be replaced or repaired and brought up to current design standards.
Areas where surcharging was observed should be repaired to allow the normal flow of effluent.
Immediate improvements in I & I and system performance can be obtained by repairing missing
or broken cleanout caps and removing debris from manholes.

Sewer Collection System I/I Reduction CIP
10 Year CIP
Adopted October, 2020

This CIP outlines steps and projects for the Town of Waynesville to move forward utilizing the results
from a recent sewer collection system I/I study performed by McGill Associates in 2020. This plan outlines
and addresses proposed sewer collection system improvements targeted to reduce inflow and infiltration
(I/I) into the system. The Town of Waynesville is committed to a program to identify sections of the sewer
collection system which may have excessive I/I and to plan and fund for the repair of these sections. These
improvements will reduce flow to the wastewater treatment (WWTP) system which is undergoing a major
upgrade. This reduction of inflow at the WWTP through the reduction of I/I will extend the life of the
WWTP.
The recently completed McGill Associates study provided smoke study testing of sections of the sewer
collection system, flow monitoring and the Town has followed the smoke testing and flow monitoring up
with closed circuit TV (CCTV) inspection of some of the sewer collection system in these areas. The Town
will continue to address these and other potential I&I points that have been initially identified the study.
With the information gathered the Town of Waynesville is adopting this recommended ten-year (10) CIP
plan to address sewer collection system issues. Some of the projects identified in the CIP will be refined
by additional future smoke testing, dye testing and CCTV.
This may include some additional dye testing of our current infrastructure, specifically those areas that
are adjacent to streams/creeks where the sewer collection system is in excess of 50 years old in many
cases and there are locations where the sewer collection system crosses over or near stormwater
collection system components and the potential for cross connections exist.
Future collection system testing will potentially identify/pinpoint those areas of concern that can be
repaired as spot repair. Others may require or complete replacements of existing piping/manholes. In
addition to failing sewer collection lines some of the current I/I problems are the result of failing manholes,
root intrusion or broken pipes. The Town is planning an annual aggressive inspection and maintenance
program to continue to identify and eliminate a large amount of I&I by the measures discussed previously.
The following ten-year CIP lists projects and measures planned for the reduction of I/I and sewer
rehabilitation. The CIP has been developed based upon the following estimated infrastructure costs:
Sewer line replacement
• 8” - $75.00/Ft
• 10” - $95.00/Ft
• 12” - $125.00/Ft
• 15” - $140.00/Ft
• Manhole Rehab – 1) Install Liner/Sealant EA: $1,380.00
2) Install Liner/Sealant >6’ VF: $230.00
FY 2021-2023:
Based on our current I&I smoke study testing and specific points found, there are several sections of the
collection system in need of possible improvements.
Hyatt Creek Subdivision
This area is a residential area along Tarheel Street and Hyatt Street adjacent to Richland Creek. The area
topography is relatively flat, and the sewer lines in the area are old VCP lines, most in excess of 50 years
old. Smoke testing, observation of sewer flows and CCTV inspections have identified excessive I/I in this
section of the collection system and improvements are required. Sewer collection system upgrade
includes approximately 3,800 LF of new 8” sewer line, 16 manholes and other associated appurtenances.
Estimated project cost is $1,267,000.
Robinson Subdivision
This area is a small residential area adjoining Railroad Avenue on the east and extending westward to
Richland Creek. Streets in the project area include Robinson Street and Cochran Street. The area
topography is relatively flat sloping toward Richland Creek, and the sewer collection lines in the area are
old VCP lines, most in excess of 50 years old. Smoke testing, observation of sewer flows and CCTV
inspections have identified excessive I/I in this section of the collection system and improvements are
required. Sewer collection system upgrade includes approximately 2,200 LF of new 8” sewer line, 13
manholes and other associated appurtenances.
Estimated project cost is $733,000.

Additional Sewer Line Replacements/Repairs
These issues will need to be addressed based on severity of the I&I (replacement/repair). It also appears,
based on the smoke testing, some of these have some actual direct cross-connections to the storm sewer.
Line Repair/Replacement:
• Brown Avenue - @ 1,150Lf/ 8” VCP - $86,250.00
• Georgia Avenue - @ 600Lf/ 10” VCP - $57,000.00
• Carolina Avenue - @ 275Lf/ 6” VCP - $20,625.00
• Hazelwood Avenue - @ 975Lf/ 8” VCP - $73,125.00
• Swan Street - @ 450Lf/ 15” Concrete - $63,000.00
• Francis Street - @ 800Lf/ 8” VCP - $60,000.00
• Chelsea Road - @ 1,800Lf/ 6” VCP - $135,000.00
• Epsom Street - @ 545Lf/ 6” VCP - $40,875.00
• East Street - @1,100Lf/ 6” VCP - $82,500.00
• East Street - @ 625Lf/ 8” VCP - $46,875.00
• Welch Street - @ 1,200Lf/ 6” VCP - $90,000.00
• Maple Street - @760Lf/ 8” VCP - $57,000.00
• Boundary Street - @1,100Lf/ 8” VCP - $82,500.00
• Manhole Rehab – 50/60 Manholes (Repair/Replace)

FY 2021-2023:
Total Line Repair/Replacement: $2,894,750.00
Manhole Repair/Replacement:
1) Install Liner/Sealant 0-6’ EA: $1,380.00
2) Install Liner/Sealant > 6’ VF: $230.00
3) Build/Repair Bench or
inverts.
EA: $550.00
Total Manhole Repair/Replacement - 50 Manholes x $1,930.00 = $96,500.00 (assuming 6’ depth)

FY 2024-2026:
Based on previous repairs from the last three years, we need to further address I&I with additional smoke
testing and dye and CCTV testing within our system as well as to identify those areas of direct cross-
connections from storm sewer. This would include a reassessment of previous assignments to include
additional line repair/replacements within the next three years. I will list below the areas that are of
concern for the next three years as well as estimated costs.
Line Repair/Replacement:
• Browning Road - @ 1,500Lf/ 8” VCP - $112,500.00
• Playground Street - 1,800Lf/ 6”-8” VCP - $135,000.00
• Oakdale Road/Conley Street - @ 2,200Lf/ 6”-8” VCP - $165,000.00
• Jarvis Street - @ 875Lf/ 6” VCP - $65,625.00
1) Install Liner/Sealant 0-6’ EA: $1,380.00
2) Install Liner/Sealant > 6’ VF: $230.00
3) Build/Repair Bench or inverts.

Total Manhole Repair/Replacement – 61 Manholes x $1,930.00 = $117,730.00 (assuming 6’
depth)
EA: $550.00

• Auburn Park - @ 2,700Lf / 8” VP - $202,500.00
FY 2024-2026:
Line Repair/Replacement: $680,625.00
Total Manhole Repair/Replacement – 40 Manholes x $2,800.00 = $112,000.00 (assuming 6’ depth)

Summary:
The Town of Waynesville will address I&I into specific areas of the sewer collection system. Cost estimates
are for total line replacements including project costs (worst case scenario) for the specific footages listed.

FY 2027-2030:
In addition to the past repairs and replacements to our sewer system, we will again revisit the
I&I situation and move forward with a concentration of specific lines that need attention to
reduce/eliminate this from our system. I will list below streets/lines that we intend on
addressing for the next four years. As you will notice, this list is much shorter than previous
years. These areas are more widespread to include a larger number of customers as well as
larger runs of infrastructure/piping.
Line Repair/Replacement:
• Allen’s Creek Road - @ 1,500Lf/ 8” VCP - $112,500.00
• Lickstone Road - @ 5,000Lf/ 8” VCP - $375,000.00
• Chestnut Walk Drive - @ 2,150Lf/ 8” VCP - $161,250.00
• Apple Tree Court - @ 700Lf/ 8” CP - $52,500.00
FY 2027-2030
Line Repair/Replacement: $710,250.00
Manhole Repair/Replacement:
1) Install Liner/Sealant 0-6’ EA: $1,380.00
2) Install Liner/Sealant > 6’ VF: $230.00
3) Build/Repair Bench or
inverts.

EA: $550.00
Total Manhole Repair/Replacement – 60 Manholes x $1,930.00 = $115,800.00 (assuming 6’
depth)

NC DEQ DWI Community Development Block Grant — Infrastructure Program
Program Overview:
Housing and Urban Development (HUD) - Community Development Block Grant (CDBG)
Legislation and Objectives
• The CDBG program, authorized by Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of
1974, provides annual grants to cities, counties and states to develop strong communities by
providing decent housing, a suitable living environment, and expanding economic
opportunities, principally for low- and moderate -income persons. CDBG eligible activities are
initiated and developed at the state and local level based upon a community's needs,
priorities, and benefits.
• The authorizing statute of the CDBG program requires that each activity funded, except for
program administration and planning activities, must meet one of three national objectives.
The three national objectives are:
o Benefit to low- and moderate- income (LMI) persons.
o Aid in the prevention or elimination of slums or blight; and
o Meet a need having a particular urgency (referred to as urgent need).
• CDBG funds 28 eligible activities that include infrastructure, economic development projects,
installation of public facilities, community centers, housing rehabilitation, public services,
clearance/acquisition, microenterprise assistance, code enforcement, and homeowner
assistance, to name a few.
North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NC DEQ) Community
Development Block Grant - Infrastructure (CDBG-I) Program
• In 2013, the North Carolina General Assembly allocated Community Development Block Grant
funds to the Infrastructure program and transferred funds to the Department of
Environmental Quality, Division of Water Infrastructure to administer.
• The purpose of these funds is to construct public water and sewer infrastructure to mitigate
public and environmental health problems in areas where the percentage of low to moderate
income persons is at least 51 percent.
• Maximum grant award is $2 million over a 3-year period.
O The CDBG-Infrastructure Program has one funding cycle per year, typically in September.
In 2020 the Grant Deadline has been moved to November 23, 2020 due to COVID-19 social
distancing impact on CDBG Low- to Moderate Income Household Surveying requirements.
