Sanitary Sewer. Extension
Sewer Line Replacement - Newton Conover High School
Newton, NC
TWC Project No.: 3095-AS
Mr. Tuvia:
Thank you for speaking with me on Wednesday regarding the sewer line
replacement project in Newton. As 1 mentioned, an existing clay sewer line that
was installed almost 90 years ago has collapsed and is in need of repairs. The
City has decided that it is best to reinstall this line and re-route it away from its
current location beneath the stadium seating at the Newton/Conover High School.
Therefore, on behalf of the City of Newton, we are sending you the following
documents for your review and approval for the above -referenced project:
One (1) original and one (1) copy of the FTA 04-16 pen it application w/
appendices;
o A ®- Cover Letter
• B - Application Form (FTA 04-16)
c C - Application Fee
• D - Project Narrative

• H - Power Reliability Plan --- (N/A - Not Included)
c 1 _ Certificate of Public Convenience/Necessity - (N/A -- Not Included)
• J .- Operational Agreements (N/A - Not Included)
One (1) check for $480.00 made payable to NCDEQ;
This project replaces approximately 600 L.F. of an existing, failing sewer line.
No new services are to be connected thus there will be no increase in wastewater
flow as a result of this project.

DESCRIPTION
F PROJECT
PurooselLocat on of Project
The City of Newton owns and maintains an existing 8-inch gravity sewer collection line. which crosses the
Newton -Conover High School property on N, Ashe Avenue (A street map is included to show the
location), The line is a clay pipe that was installed around 1930, The line crosses beneath the football field
bleachers and the school's running track. The line also runs within a few feet of the base of an 80 feet tall
field lighting pole.
A portion of the line has collapsed and repairs are needed immediately. Due to the age, condition and
location of the existing 'Pine the City wishes to replace the line rather than rehabilitate through the us of a
CIPP liner or other means. Instead a new line is to be installed to by-pass the football field and lights.
TYPE OF DEVELOPMENT
Proposed Project
The proposed replacement sewer will consist of the following ite
• -623 LF of 8-inch PVC SDR-21.gravity sewer,
• Remova.l and replacement of an existing brick manhole;
• 1 new, additional precast concrete sewer manhole;
• Connection of one existing sewer service to the new line;
• Connection of the new 8-inch gravity sewer to an existing sewer manhole by means of
an inside drop structure;
• Abandoning the existing gravity line by means of billing it with flowable concrete fill;
• Associated appurtenances and site work;
sect is essentially a maintenance project which. will generate no new wastewa
