MEMORANDUM
TO: Permit File WQ0023893
FROM: K. Marie Doklovic, PE
SUBJECT: Variance to Gravity Sewer MDC
Several 4" line extensions are proposed for several single building laterals for the Magnolia Springs
Subdivision for the Town of Harrisburg. The laterals must traverse common area to connect to the
proposed main. An issue arose when the applicant included this line and requested a variance in
their penrnit application, but then marked these lines as private on the plans. If the lines were to be
included in the permit, it would the Town's responsibility or they would have to have the lot owners
apply for a modification to take out their lateral and put it into their own permit. After discussions with
the Town and design engineers, it was determined that the flinch line should be struck from the
permit application. The City will stub out to their main easement line and put a cleanout. The private
lateral easements will remain on the plat and be recorded. When the lots are sold, the Town will

Dear Mr. Palmer:
.y
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has conducted a preliminary review of the subject permit application
package, which contains a variance request for laterals crossing other properties. I would like to offer
options that the Division would be more comfortable with and one does not require a variance. Please
provide comment to my attention at the letterhead address no later than July 6, 2004.
Please realise tlnaatif tlne Division includes the 4-inch line in your permit, Harrisburg will be responsible
for the line, even though they are laterals. The plan layout indicates the laterals are private. Typically, it
is the 'homeowner who has the lateral that crosses a property line who applies for the permit in their° name
and requests a variance to use 4-inch line (6-inches is minimum for private lines per regulation). Since
this is a proposed development, there are no homeowners yet. If we approved this variance as submitted,
Harrisburg would have to ensure that as owners purchase lots, they submit for a permit to break out their
lateral line from your permit to relieve the City from ownership, operation and maintenance
responsibility. Please consider the following options:
.Remove. the 4-inch laterals from the permit application but ensure the notes as shown on the plans are
carried over to the final recorded plat for each lot requiring a private easement. As these lots are
purchased, the homeowner is required to apply for their permit for the private line and request a
variance to use the 4-inch line..A certificate of occupancy should not be granted unless. proof of an
issued permit is verified. Although no variance for Harrisburg would be required in this case, the
Division would put a note in the permit about this and copy the building inspections department:.
The other option is for Harrisburg to get the variance and simply maintain the 230 feet of 4-inch lines
to the owner property line, A cleanout would be specified at the property line to delineate ownership.
Please reference the subject application number when providing the requested information. Please note
that failure to comment on or before the above requested date may result in your application being
returned as incomplete.

Subject: Flow Acceptance — Magnolia Springs Subdivision

This is in response to the Town's request for flow acceptance received 3/9/04. The Water
and Sewer Authority of Cabarrus County (WSACC) has or currently expects to be able to make
available capacity at the Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant and appropriate sewer
interceptors to transport and treat the domestic wastewater from the proposed Magnolia Springs
Subdivision consisting of 194 residential units. WSACC agrees to accept wastewater from the
proposed sewer line based on information provided by Lash Engineering (Civil Engineer for the
project) using North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR)
wastewater flow guidelines. The projected flow is 69,840 gpd; however WSACC expects the actual
wastewater flow to more closely approximate 48,500 gpd based upon Master Plan engineering data.
By requesting flow acceptance, the Town of Harrisburg acknowledges that WSACC may
need to upgrade, expand, or construct new facilities to accommodate the increased flow volume
granted by this and previous flow acceptance. Appropriate design and construction will be initiated
when actual flows dictate but may be subject to situations that WSACC does not expect or control.
Based upon flow of 69,840 gpd and cost of $8.126/gpd to provide treatment and transportation
capacity, this flow acceptance represents an estimated capital expenditure in excess of $567,519.
For your information and based upon NCDENR wastewater flow guidelines, WSACC has
approved 1,200,577 gallons of flow acceptance for the Town of Harrisburg from 1992 to present
and 80,280 gallons of flow acceptance year-to-date including this request. Based upon the approved
flow acceptances WSACC has committed capacity valued in excess of S9,755,888 for the Town of
Harrisburg since 1992 including $652,355 for this calendar year.
Downstream facilities from the proposed project are scheduled irT WSACC's current Capital
Improvement Program (CIP) to increase available capacity. Projects on the CIP are subject to
approval by WSACC's Board of Directors, support from local governing bodies, regulatory
approval, and funding availability. The following schedule of CIP projects is tentative and may be
delayed by unforeseen circumstances:
• Back Creek Parallel Interceptor. Scheduled completion date: 2005.
Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant phase II upgrade. Scheduled completion date: 2004.

Since this sewer connection€ will be made directly to the WSACC Fuda Creek
Interceptor, WSACC must be notified 48 hours prior to connection being made. Notification
is to be made to Mark Lomax (704/786-1783).
Based on information provided by the developer, this flow acceptance is wanted under the
condition that the project will be constructed in phases that will consist of the construction of
approximately 60 - 80 residential units per year.
Please note that if construction of this project is not started within one year of the date of this
approval, the approval is rescinded and a second request and approval will be required. Please
notify WSACC in writing when construction of this project is initiated.
If you have any questions, please call me at 704-786-1783.
