MEMORANDUM
TO: DWR — Washington Regional Office
CC: Randall Emory, PE, Director of Water Resources
David Springer, PE, Assistant Director of Water Resources
FROM: Tyler Haislip, Water Resources Engineer
DATE: November 30, 2021
SUBJECT: Fast Track Application Narrative
GUC — Darrell Dr. Pump Station Upgrades
RECEIVED/NCDENR/DWR
JAN -7 2022
Water Quality
Regional Operations Section
Washington Regional Office
The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a narrative of GUC's Darrell Dr. Pump
Station Upgrade Project to accompany the project's Fast Track Application. This permit
application is requesting a modification to permit number WQ0013890 issued on 8/16/21.
The original permit approved the construction and operation of a 180 GPM pump station
(PS-3) with duplex pumps. This application is requesting a modification to the firm
capacity of PS-3. PS-3 is known as Darrell Dr. Pump Station. An overall map from the
original permit is provided for reference.
The existing Darrell Dr. Pump Station is nearing capacity and upgrades are required to
accommodate continued growth and development in the GUC system. The proposed
improvements to be permitted include pump upgrades, pump control panel replacement,
and the installation of a permanent on -site standby generator. The proposed
improvements will provide the additional capacity required for any current flow
commitments and any future development in this pump station service area. The existing
6" PVC force main will be utilized. The operating point of the proposed pumps is 525
GPM at 156 ft TDH. A firm capacity of 0.756 MGD is proposed. The permit application
is requesting zero (0) additional flow. No wastewater will be generated by this project.
All future wastewater generated in this pump station service area will be permitted in
subsequent applications.
Below are modifications to WQ0013890:
-PS-2 (Forlines) with 1,015 GPM pumps and 6,350 LF of 10" FM (included in 8/16/21
modification)
-PS-3 (Darrell Dr.) with 525 GPM pumps
PS-1 (Frog Level PS) which is included in the original permit is also nearing capacity and
upgrades will be required. These upgrades are currently in the preliminary design phase
and will be permitted once design is complete in a separate permit application.

III. Certification Statement:
I David W. Springer, 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 indicates acceptance of this wastewater flow.
