The existing facility consists of a submersible sewage pumping station, mechanical screen, Parshall Flume, equalization lagoon and a 12-inch force main to the Central Johnston County Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). Johnston County intends to construct the following general improvements including: • Addition of a flow distribution box • Addition of a new, larger submersible station with valve vault • Addition of a 24-inch force to the future HWY 210 WWTP • Relocation of the existing generator • Addition of a new electrical building • Addition of a 12 mgd grit removal • Reconstruction of the existing lagoon Therefore, this application is for modifying the existing pumping station under permit #WQ00203040. The existing submersible pumping station will be demolished, and a new larger submersible station constructed. The concrete pumping station structure will be sized to accommodate five pumps, but only four out of five submersible pumps will be initially installed to achieve the 8.75 mgd interim capacity. At a future date, when flow is anticipated to exceed 8.75 mgd, the 5`h pump will be installed and a second mechanical screen and larger generator will be added such that the station's firm capacity meets the projected build -out capacity of n.96 mgd. Addition of a 5th pump, second screen and generator will require another permit modification in the future and is not included in this current permit modification. The County plans construction of the HWY 210 WWTP starting in 2021. Until the HWY 210 WWTP is operational, the proposed pumping station will continue to pump through the existing 12-inch force main at 1,340 gpm to the existing Central Johnston County WWTP. Once the HWY 210 WWTP is operational, the proposed pump station will initially convey up to 8.75 mgd to the new WWTP. Please note that the existing 12-inch force main to the Central Johnston County WWTP will remain in service and be used on an as needed or emergency basis. Furthermore, the build out capacity of the pumping station through the proposed 24-inch force main is estimated to be 11.96 mgd (8,309 gpm). To convey this flow, a 5u' pump would be installed in the future to achieve the firm capacity of 11.96 mgd. At that point, 4 of 5 pumps operating simultaneously and in parallel achieve the 11.96 firm capacity, or in other words, each pump's capacity would be approximately 2,07.7 gpm at 181 feet total dynamic head (TDH). Thus, the currently proposed pumps would not require replacement, but rather with addition of a 5u' pump and larger generator the higher firm station capacity can be achieved. Page 1 of 2 Johnston County Landfill Pumping Station Improvements Fast Track Sewer System Extension Application February 18, 2021 This pumping station receives flow from multiple other pumping stations and has a permitted equalization lagoon. Thus, with the addition of the flow distribution box, the influent wastewater can be diverted to either the equalization lagoon (primary mode of operation) or proposed pumping station or divided to both at the same time. When wastewater is diverted to the equalization lagoon, it will first go through a previously permitted mechanical screen (8.75 mgd capacity) and then through the proposed 12 mgd rated grit removal unit before then flowing into the equalization lagoon. This approach will reduce solids loading in the lagoon. Then, from the equalization lagoon, the wastewater will then drain to the proposed pumping station. Improvements to clean the equalization lagoon include a new entrance ramp, concrete slab on the bottom, sump pump, and water cannons. Enclosed for your review are one (i) original and (i) copy of the following: • One original and one copy of the Fast Track Sewer System Extension Application • Application Fee of $480.00 (Check #115635) • Two copies of the 8.5-inch x ii-inch USGS Topographic Map • Two copies of the 8.5-inch x ii-inch Aerial Street View Map of project area • Two copies of existing permit #WQ00203040. Other permits/certifications will be submitted as necessary.

Item IX.2 is marked "no" for compliance with %i,ctland separation requirements. Please explain. There is a small portion (less than 0.1 acres) of the proposed force main that will go through a wetlands area. The required DWR 401 and USACE 404 permit have been submitted. The USAGE 404 permit has been approved and the DWR 401 is still under review. 2. Item IX.G is marked "no" for high -priority lines. We just want to confirm this, since there will over a mile of new line. Correct. No portion of the proposed force main tits the definition per 15A NCAC 02T.0402. Thanks, Jason Jason T. Robinson, P.E.

This application is a little odd, staff in my office has never done one like this before, to my knowledge. We've never modified an existing permit that was issued by another department (construction grants and loans) that includes more items than just wastewater gravity and forcemain lines and typical pump stations. As with all pen -nit modifications, the modified permit we issue will completely replace, !rescind the older pen -nit, so the new modified permit will need to contain everything that was in the original permit that will remain in operation. So here's what was in the original pen -nit: • Mechanical Bar Screen rated at 8.75 mgd with a manual bypass bar screen This will remain . 12"Parhsali Flume This will remain • 450 LF of24" gravity sewer line This will remain • Utilization of an existing lined solid waste landfill basin as a wastewater equalization basin with an approximate total volume of 5.1 million gallons (basin bottom to maximum water level with 2-feet freeboard) of which approximately 900,000 gallons (basin effluent to high water level) will be utilized for flow equalization 'Chis will remain and there will be a couple ne« pipe penetrations and a concrete topper placed in the bottom to smooth out the bottom for better cleaning. • Approximately 180 LF of 8" gravity landfill leachate sewer line This will remain as leachate will be redirected to the distribution box. • 27,760 LF of 12" FM for raw sewage this will remain • 26,930 LF of 8" FM for Waste Activated Sludge installed in a common trench This will remain • Continued operation of 1,340 GPM sewage pump station with duplex pumps This will be demolished in favor of the proposed 6,076 gpm station. • 5,400 LF of 12" FM for transmission of wastewater from McGee's Crossroad and Cleveland area via connecting force mains directly to CJCRWWTF. This will remain, as it connects to the 27,760 If of 12" that conveys sewage to the ex WWTP. So again, if all this is staying in operation. we'll need to include all this in the new permit %ve issue (because it completely replaces the old permit). Please let me know if any of the above is being removed or modified. (We'll probably need to add the grit removal and flow splitter box). Ok. we'll add the grit and FSB and interconnecting 30" pipe as well. Also, the new application included 7,000 LF of 24" FNI. Is this all new sewerline? yes, as it will convey wastewater to the proposed Hwy210 WWTP once in operation. 11 The new application also includes a 6,076 GPM PS. IS this replacing the existing 1,340 GPM PS? Yes And it will be a fourplex PS? Yes, we are installing 4 pumps in the 5 slot pumping station to achieve 6,076 gpm (8.75 mgd) capacity (3 duty/l spare).

Do not click links or open attachments unless you verify. Send all suspicious email as an attachment to ReRe o Christyn, Jason, You should have received a link to download the drawings from OneDrive. As we discussed with Christyn today, The lagoon volume is not being increased. The ex lagoon is made of FabriForm concrete (looks like a quilt blanket) and not flat. To help facilitate solids removal, we are placing a concrete `topper' in the bottom to create a flat surface. Once dewatered, the County can scrape the bottom of the lagoon with a front-end loader to remove the solids far easier with a flat surface than the current rippled concrete surface. There are also a couple pipe penetrations we are adding to the lagoon. One is to fill it from the proposed grit unit. The other is a sump to better drain the liquid from the bottom. And a better truck ramp to drive in/out of it. Regarding the flow splitter box, wastewater currently enters the site through force mains. All three force mains will be redirected to a `splitter box'. This box has two weirs in it. Depending which one is up!down, influent wastewater will go directly to the proposed wet well or to the screen/grit removal unit/lagoon and then to the wet well via a flow control valve. If you would Iike to discuss anything upon your review, please let me know and we can setup a quick Teams call to discuss.

Steven R Chandra, I had initially talked with Christyn before I sent my first email, and it was through those discussions that she determined this particular project needed to go through a full technical review. I've since followed -up with her and reminded her that you had discussed this with her back in January. She recalled the conversation, and went through her notes. She recalls the conversation being about whether this project could be considered a sewer extension, or if it would require an Authorization to Construct. She did not recall a discussion about redoing/altering some of the components, specifically the now diversion box and the EQ basin. Because of those changes, it is not eligible for a fast -track and needs to go to her for a full re%- iew. I apologize for the confusion and hassle. You can contact Christyn at Christen.Fertenbaughawncdenr.gov or 919-707-3625 to discuss further. -Jason Jason T. Robinson, P.E.

However, our records note this permit was previously issued with the project name "McGees Crossroads". Can you confirm the name for this project, and the correct permit number? Once the correct name is confirmed, we may have some other questions regarding the app. As you know, for mod apps, the original permit becomes void, and the modified permit must contain everything in the original permit that will remain in operation, plus any additional sewer lines, pump stations, or flow. 19 Thx ted Ted Cashion Water Quality Regional Operations Division of Water Resources NC Department of Environmental Quality Raleigh Regional Office 919-791-4254 ted.cashion c mcdenr.
