Re: Fast -Track Application (FTA 04-16) and Supporting Information
Orange Water and Sewer Authority (OWASA)
Jones Ferry Road WTP Finished Water Distribution Resiliency Improvements
To whom it may concern,
Enclosed for review is an application and supporting documentation to replace approximately 174 LF of
existing sanitary sewer in Carborro, NC. The above referenced project is located by OWASA's Water
Treatment Plant off Jones Ferry Road and involves upsizing an existing 8-inch sewer with a new 16-Inch
DIP sewer.
A majority of the new sewer will replace an existing sanitary sewer in place, with a short parallel segment
being installed. All of the new sewer meets the minimum design criteria per 15A NCAC 02T .0305 except
for a 20-ft segment that is located less than 10-ft from the top of an existing stream bank. We have
submitted a variance reouest to Ms. Christyn Fertenbaugh on February 8, 2021 for consideration and this
fast -track submittal is being submitted with the assumption that the variance request will be allowed.
Accompanying this letter is additional supporting documentation required to be submitted as a part of
this permit submittal:
• $480 Application Fee
• Fast -Track Application FTA 04-16 with checklist
• Figure 1— Site Topography Map
• Figure 2 —Aerial Site Map
• Plan and Profile drawing of the proposed sewer extension
Please feel free to call (919) 457-3711 or email me at icookhazenandsawyer_com if you have any

sewers permitted herein in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T.0105(n). Please see
Condition 1.1 for more details
Special Condition Language:
Per the submitted variance request as received on February 8, 2021 by Hazen and Sawyer on
behalf of Orange Water and Sewer Authority for the subject project, along with additional
information received on July 13, 2021, the Division will grant the variance request for the
construction and operation of approximately 25 linear feet of 16-inch DIP gravity sewer located
within the 10-ft minimum separation from the top of an existing stream bank in accordance with
the provisions of 15A NCAC 02T.0105(n), and subject to an the following conditions:
As specified in the provided plans, where the gravity sewer does not meet separation
requirements for stream banks, rip rap protection shall be implemented in accordance with the
plans, general notes, and cover letter as submitted to and approved by the Division as part of this
variance request.
Regardless of the variance approval, in the event that the wastewater collection facilities fail to
perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take
immediate corrective action, including those as may be required by this Division, such as the
construction of additional or replacement facilities.
All other elements of this project shall be constructed in accordance with all applicable rules and
statues including, 15A NCAC 2T; the Division of Water Resources' (Division) Gravity Sewer
Minimum Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996 as applicable; and the Division's Minimum
Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains adopted June 1,
2000 as applicable. Approval of the variance request does not constitute approval of the permit.
