On behalf of the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA), we are submitting the enclosed sewer fast
track permit package for construction of the Mott's Creek Pump Station (PS-69) Replacement project.
The following items are included in this package:
• A check for $480 to cover the review fee
• This cover letter with a brief project narrative
• Application form FTA 06-21 (with certifications).
• Topographic site maps (data obtained from USGS)
• Street level maps
Pump Station 69, located on River Road adjacent to the Mott's Creek Bridge, is owned and operated by
CFPUA. PS-69 conveys all wastewater collected in the basin via a 20" PVC force main approximately
16,900 LF in length and discharges directly to the Southside Wastewater Treatment Plant (SSWWTP)
headworks for treatment and disposal. The existing pump station includes four (4) 60 horsepower (hp)
submersible pumps with a design peak pumping rate of 3,343 gallons per minute (gpm). This project will
upgrade PS 69 to a capacity of 2.45 MGD, from the current permitted capacity of 1.76 MGD, with a
peaking factor of 2.5. The scope is to include the removal and disposal of existing screening facilities,
pumps, piping and valves, electrical gear and pump station building. Then the installation of a new
grinder, submersible pumps in a new wetwell, concrete slab and electrical connections for a diesel bypass
pump, standby generator with automatic transfer switch (ATS), precast electrical building with HVAC
and a connection to the existing force main.
If you have any questions or need further information, please contact me at 910-550-1604 (email:
[e-mail]) or Matthew Pitzer at 910-550-1605 (email:[e-mail]). We will respond
immediately to any of your concerns or questions.

Narrative:
Pump Station 69, located on River Road adjacent to the Mott's Creek Bridge, is owned and operated by
CFPUA. PS-69 conveys all wastewater collected in the basin via a 20" PVC force main approximately
16,900 LF in length and discharges directly to the Southside Wastewater Treatment Plant (SSW WTP)
headworks for treatment and disposal. The existing pump station includes four (4) 60 horsepower (hp)
submersible pumps with a design peak pumping rate of 3,343 gallons per minute (gpm). This project will
upgrade PS 69 to a capacity of 2.45 MGD, from the current pennitted capacity of 1.76 MGD, with a
peaking factor of 2.5. The scope is to include the removal and disposal of existing screening facilities,
pumps, piping and valves, electrical gear and pump station building. Then the installation of a new
grinder, submersible pumps in a new wetwell, concrete slab and electrical connections for a diesel bypass
pump, standby generator with automatic transfer switch (ATS), precast electrical building with HVAC
and a connection to the existing force main.

The existing permit was issued April 17, 1997 and has most recently amended on January 1, 2013. We
are asking for a new permitted capacity of 2.45 MGD for the Mott's Creek Pump Station (PS-69).
