REGIONAL OFFICE
Enclosed is our resubmittal of a Fast -Track Application and supporting documentation for the
referenced project, for the Division's review and comment. This project consists of the construction
of a new wastewater pump station and force main serving a proposed industrial park development
in central Union County, North Carolina.
This project includes construction of a new duplex submersible wastewater pump station and
approximately 11,000 linear feet of 8-inch diameter force main to transfer wastewater from the
proposed Piedmont Innovation Park industrial park development to the nearest gravity wastewater
collection system owned and operated by Union County Public Utilities. The pump station and
force main have been sized based upon NCDEQ peak flows per area (in acres) for anticipated land
uses as outlined in 15A NCAC 02T. Based thereon, as presented in the enclosed supporting
documents, the system has a peak average design capacity of 723,600 gallons per day (505 gallons
per minute). This system will be constructed to serve a proposed industrial park; details of the final
land uses and tenants are unknown at this time. Therefore, this system establishes the overall
capacity of the wastewater system but does not generate wastewater flows. Once this system is in
place and operational, and industrial development occurs within the subject service area, flow
tracking and acceptance will be addressed via individual applications for wastewater service
directly between the site developers and Union County Public Utilities.
This package has been prepared in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T and the "Fast Track Sewer
System Extension Application." Therefore, included herein, is one (1) fully executed original and
one (1) copy of Form FTA 04-16, a check in the amount of $480.00 for the application fee, USGS
proximity Map, and Street Map. Pursuant with FTA 04-16, engineering design documents

Ori,
Thank you for reaching out. The pump station is a duplex submersible type. Also, there will be a backup generator on
site, connected via an automatic transfer switch, to provide power to the station in the event of a failure or loss of utility
power.
Please let me know if I can provide any further information or clarification. Thanks again!

III. Certification Statement:
I Thomas Mann, PE 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.
