Signattue:Date: O "zI FORM: FTA 04-16 Page 5 of PROJECT NARRATIVE NORTH LANVALE LIFT STATION PUMP REPLACEMENT BRUNSWICK REGIONAL WATER AND SEWER AUTHORITY BRUNSWICK COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA PROJECT DESCRIPTION This project proposes to replace aging and undersized pumps at a lift station owned and operated by Brunswick Regional H2GO called the North Lanvale Lift Station (H2GO Lift Station #9). This lift station is located in the town of Leland in Brunswick County, North Carolina. Because the pumps proposed to be installed have a higher flowrate than the pumps currently serving the lift station, the permitted flow for this lift station needs to be increased. The permit for this pump station was initially acquired in May 2002, as part of Permit No. W00016854. Multiple modifications have been approved to this permit since its initial issuance, with the most recent modification being accepted July 15, 2021. No modifications approved since the issuance of the original permit have affected the conditions at this station — as such, the lift station is still permitted at its original flow of 180 gallons per minute (GPM). However, because of the performance of the new pumps proposed for installation, the lift station will now pump an increased flow. Accordingly, Brunswick Regional H2GO is requesting to increase the North Lanvale Lift Station's permitted flow to 325 GPM. Note that this lift station will utilize the existing force main already in place, 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 downstream.
