Stirrup Iron Creek Lift Station Capacity Improvements
Fast Track Sewer System Extension Application
To Whom It May Concern:
NC Dept of Environmental Quality
JUN 13 2022
Raleigh Regional Office
On behalf of Durham County Engineering and Environmental Services, and in accordance with 15A
NCAC subchapter 02T and the Division of Water Resources Minimum Design Criteria, we submit
herewith the relevant documentation to modify the sewer permit for Stirrup Iron Creek Lift Station.
Please find enclosed:
• Fast Track Sewer System Extension Application
• Flow Tracking/Acceptance Form
• Existing Permit No. WQ0039913-Modified
• Figure 1 — Aerial and Contour Map
• A $480.00 check for the standard processing fee
Durham County is requesting a permit modification to reflect the following:
Modify the firm capacity to 6.5 MGD. The previous permit modification was to increase the acceptable
flow to 7.5 MGD using 2 pumps, however after further evaluation, the firm capacity has been
determined to be 6.5 MGD using 2 pumps. This permit revision is intended to account for this
variance in station output. We have also determined that the Average Daily Flow (ADF) into the
station is lower than previously thought. Durham County requests authorization to revise the firm
capacity and reduce the current ADF to accept additional flow.
Please feel free to contact me at [phone] if you have any questions or require additional
information. I can also be reached at [e-mail].
Sincerely,
