PROJECT NARRATIVE
SOUTH LANVALE LIFT STATION FLOW INCREASE
BRUNSWICK REGIONAL WATER AND SEWER AUTHORITY
BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This project proposes to increase the permitted flow at the South Lanvale Lift Station, a lift station owned
and operated by Brunswick Regional H2GO. This lift station is located in the town of Leland in
Brunswick County, North Carolina. The station has seen pumped flows higher than what is currently
permitted, and with moderate growth expected in the area tributary to this lift station, H2GO is requesting
to increase the permitted flow for this lift station to be proactive.
Based on the information currently known, this pump station is rated at 180 gallons per minute (GPM).
The permit for the collection system and pump stations in proximity to this station, including this station,
was initially acquired in August 2003, as Permit No. W00016854. Multiple permit modifications have
been accepted since. At this time, based on the current operating conditions and projected development in
this area, the permitted flow is too low. Accordingly, Brunswick Regional H2GO is requesting to increase
the South Lanvale Lift Station's permitted flow to 250 GPM. Note that this development is classified as
future flow, so no new wastewater is being generated by this project (questions 7 and 8 in section V1 of
the Fast Track Sewer System Extension Application). Note also that the lift station will utilize the existing
force main, so no new force main is being installed as part of this project.
The table below compares the existing conditions to the proposed conditions upon permit modification
approval. No other operational changes are requested as a part of this permit modification. As stated
above, there will be no new flow or redirected flow associated with this project. The existing force main
will continue to be used to transmit flow.

Good afternoon Dean,
We have gotten to the bottom of it in terms of understanding what has happened with the permit numbers over
time. Long story short is that a previous H2GO staff member changed the names of the numbered pump
stations to fit his desired order, rather than putting the correctly -named station with the number it reflects in the
permit. Scott did some digging and has now reassociated the names of each station with the station numbers
and flows/force mains/etc on the permit.
To that end, we have prepared a spreadsheet to show the State what numbered station has what name. This
way if someone outside of the parties involved here requests to see the flow of, say, the Holly Hills PS, both
112GO and the State will know that it is Station #4 being discussed.
To finalize this request in particular, Scott has determined that the South Lanvale PS is Station #10. Please
modify the permitted flow on Station #10 from 180 gpm to 250 gpm.
Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns as you review!
Thanks,
Peter Galan, PE
