Additional lnforrnation Request.
Carolina Water Service
Turtle Rock Subdivision.
Sewer Extension.
Mecklenburg County
The Permits and Engineering Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the subject
application. .Additional information is required before we can. continue our review. Please provide the
following by June 17, 1996:
1- Please provide one of the following:
A) Franchise authorizing Carolina Water Service to provide sewer service to Turtle Rock
Subdivision, or
B) Certificate of Convenience and Public Necessity authorizing Carolina Water Service to
provide sewer service to Turtle Rock Subdivision; or
C) Letter from the North Carolina Utilities Commission indicating that Turtle Rock
Subdivision is contiguous to an existing development for which Carolina Water Service. is
authorized to provide sewer service and that Turtle Rock Subdivision is covered under that
authorization.
2- If an on -site standby generator is to be used for this pump station, specifications regarding said
generator should be submitted. To fulfill the alternate power source requirements with an on -site
generators an automatic transfer ,switch shall be provided as well. The on -site generator and automatic
transfer switch should be added to your plans or notes to that effect, The revised plan sheet(s) should be
submitted to my attention, There are two other alternatives for satisfying the alternate power source
requirements which could be used in this case. One would be to provide a portable generator connection,
telemetry monitoring system, and data on the number of generators which. Carolina Water Service owns
and how many pump stations those generators must serve. Or, because the downslope water is a Class C
water, power reliability and adequate storage could be used. This would require a letter from the power
supplier to the site with data on the number of, and duration of all power outages in the area over the past
three years. The wet well would have to have enough storage between the alarm elevation and the invert in
elevation to store the wastewater which would be generated in the time of the longest power outage from
the past three years.

3- The volume of wastewater to be generated, listed on page 2 of 8 of your application, should
reflect only the number of homes that will actually be hooked up to the sewer system by this line. It
appears as though this should reflect 99 homes not 402. The flows from the remaining homes should be
permitted in future permits as their gravity lines are being permitted and constructed. The revised, signed
and sealed, page 2 of 8 of your application should be submitted to my attention.
4- The downstream sewer (WQ0002190) does not appear to have been certified according to our
database. The Division recognizes that Phase 2A of the downstream sewer has been certified but Phase
2B appears as though it is still not certified. By condition of the permit, Phase 2B must be certified prior
to operation of the sewer system. Please either submit the engineer's certifcation for Phase 2B of
WQ0002190 or state that the subject sewer proposes to tie into Phase 2A of WQ0002190. This statement
should be signed, sealed and submitted to my attention.
Please reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested information.
All information should be signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention at the address below.
Please note that failure to provide this additional information on or before the above requested date can
result in your application being returned as incomplete.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at [phone], ext. 527.
