B. LAND AREA CONFIGURATIONS AND TOPOGRAPHY
The Town of Siler City contains generally hilly terrain with elevations ranging from approximately
480 to 760 feet above mean sea level (MSL), according to the Chatham County Geographic
Information System(GIS). Elevations typically decrease from the hills in the western portion of the
Town to the eastern banks of the Rocky River. The highest point, of approximately 760 feet above
MSL, is found at a hilltop in the western part of the Town. The lowest point of approximately 480
feet above MSL, is found along the banks of the Rocky River,near the eastern edge of the Town.
Several surface waters are located in and around the Town. A RockyRiver tributaryflows through
the north eastern portion of the Town. A Loves Creek tributary flows through the southern portion
of the Town until it meets Loves Creek, which flows eastward and joins the Rocky River east of
Town. The Town's water supply originates in several reservoirs fed by the Rocky River.
Based on Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS)mapping, the most common soil types in
the project area are Georgeville urban land complex and Georgeville silty clay loam, as shown in
Table II-2. Ten (10) additional soil types are found in the vicinity of the Town, though none of
these is found on more than seven percent(7%)of the examined land area.

Avenue station was rehabilitated in 2006 with new duplex self-priming suction lift pumps with a
capacity of 975 gpm each. The pump station is in good condition but according to Town staff this
station sees significant I/I during storm events. The station experienced an SSO of 150,000 gallons
in December 2015, and the area draining to the station is in significant need of rehabilitation to
reduce I/I.
The North Chatham Avenue Pump Station is located on North Chatham Avenue north of US 64 and
has a capacity of 180 gpm. The pump station includes duplex self-priming suction lift pumps
installed in 1999. This station is in fair condition but lacks backup power. It does have a quick
connect for a portable generator however permanent standby power with automatic transfer is
recommended to be added to the station.
Blood Run Pump Station is the oldest pump station in the system originally installed in 1977 and
has seen several updates since that time. The current station includes two dry pit submersible pumps
that were rebuilt in 2014. The pumps are 40 hp and have a capacity of 430 gpm each. The station
serves a significant drainage basin along Blood Run Creek that has significant room for increased
development.
Progress Boulevard and Technology Way pump stations were both installed in 2006 and serve a

commercial/industrial park area east of US 64. These stations are in excellent condition and have
permanent standby generators onsite. The pump station on Technology Way is a duplex 20 hp
suction lift pump station with a capacity of 350 gpm and pumps flow to the Progress Boulevard
pump station. Progress Boulevard Pump Station has a capacity of 600 gpm and includes duplex 30
hp suction lift pump.
The Water Treatment Plant pump station serves supernatant from the Town's filter backwash at the
water treatment plant. The station was installed in 2009 and has a design capacity of 223 gpm. The
pump station is in fair condition however the pump run times indicate the pumps may not be
performing at the design capacity. The station includes a precast concrete wetwell with submersible
pumps and a separate valve vault.

B. EXISTING CAPACITY
Wastewater Collection System
The Town's collection system includes gravity sewers ranging from 6"to 24" in diameter. The 24"
Loves Creek outfall line is estimated to have a capacity of 7.5 to 8 million gallons per day(MGD).
Approximately 23% of the system is 6" diameter sewer primarily consisting of VCP lines. 66% of
the sewer is 8" diameter including 29% that is 8" VCP, 34% 8" PVC and 3% DIP of based on GIS
mapping data. The remaining 11% are 10"-24" sewers.
The Town's WWTP has a design capacity of 4.0 MGD, and is currently permitted to discharge up
to 4.0 MGD to Loves Creek. Current average daily discharge flows from the plant are
approximately 1.70 MGD (42.5%of the permitted capacity).
Town of Siler City — Wastewater Collection System Capital Improvement Plan
McGill Associates,P.A.—September 2016 Page 7

C. PRESENT CONDITION
Wastewater Collection System
The Town of Siler City collection system is in fair condition however the overall system has a
relatively high level of infiltration and inflow (VI). Nearly all wastewater collection systems
experience some level of UI. I/I is generally defined as the input of rain water or groundwater into
the wastewater collection system, which is not considered wastewater. The infiltration portion
includes flows that are normally continuous, including groundwater that enters the system through
service connections, defective pipes, pipe joints, or manhole walls. Infiltration also includes
discharges from foundation drains, cooling water, and springs and swampy areas. Inflow sources
are generally instantaneous and include rainfall that enters the wastewater collection system through
roof connections, yard and area drains, manhole covers, cross connections with storm sewers, and
combined sewers.
A typical measure of UI is to compare the length and size of sewers as measured in inch-miles
(miles of sewer x pipe diameter inches) to the estimated portion of UI. The Town's wastewater
collection system includes approximately 493.6 inch-miles of pipe. Based on a comparison of water
billing records for sewer customers accounting for 10% for consumptive losses to flows at the
WWTP the UI is estimated at an average of 1.24 MGD between September 2013 and August 2014.
This is approximately 2,515 gallons per day per inch-mile of sewer. New gravity sewers are
specified to have a maximum of 100 gpm/inch-mile of sewer.
AlthoughUI is a significant issue, the Townsproactive approach to sewer maintenance,
� PP
identification of high priority lines, and cleaning has reduced sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs). The
Town did experience six (6) SSOs in November and December 2016, which resulted in a Notice of
Deficiency letter from NCDEQ. Figure 2 shows a typical maintained sewer easement in Siler City.

D. FLOW PROJECTIONS
Water Production and Distribution System
Chatham County has grown over recent decades and an 18.8% increase in population is expected
between 2010 and 2020 according to the North Carolina Office of State Budget and Management.
Applying a 1.5% annual growth rate to Siler City, which is similar to Chatham County projected
growth rates results in a population increase from 8,169 in 2013 to 11,167 by year 2034, or
approximately 2,998 individuals over a 20-year planning period. Table III-5 contains 20-year
population projections for Siler City and Chatham County.
Table III-5 Population Projections for the Town of Siler City
Population Population Population Population
Name 2013 2020* 2030* 2034*
Town of Siler City 8,169 9,066 10,522 11,167
Chatham County 66,817 75,450 86,637 91,110
Note:
*Population annual growth rate for Siler City was assumed to grow at a rate of 1.5% per year
(similar to projections for Chatham County)
** Future population data for Chatham County is per the NC Office of State Budget and
Management(NCOSBM)
Wastewater Collection System and Treatment
Current average wastewater flow is approximately 1.70 MGD however this is estimated to consist
of approximately 0.46 MGD of sewer use with the remaining 1.24 MGD resulting from VI. Using
the same 1.5% annual growth rate depicted in the previous section, applied only to the sewer use
flows it is estimated that wastewater flows generated in Siler City and treated at the Town's WWTP
will increase from 1.70 MGD in 2013 to 1.86 MGD in 2034. Note that this estimate assumes UI
remains constant.
The above figures do not account for any new large industries in the Town. There are two
potential industries that may significantly alter these projections based on use for the industry and
potential associated growth. The Chatham-Randolph Megasite is currently being marketed and has
requested up to 1 MGD of wastewater flow. In addition, Mountaire Farms intends to re-open a
chicken processing facility,which will also increase water and sewer usage.
Under 15A NCAC 02T .0118 prior to exceeding 80%of the permitted capacity the permittee
must submit an evaluation outlining specific plans to meet the future wastewater needs. Prior to
exceeding 90 % of the permitted capacity the permittee must obtain all permits needed for the
expansion of the wastewater system. 80%of the Siler City WWTP capacity is 3.2 MGD and 90% is
3.6 MGD. If these potential large users come to fruition, the Town will likely be required to begin
planning for expansion of the wastewater treatment facility.

SECTION IV DESCRIPTION OF KNOWN DEFICIENCIES
A. CAPITAL OUTLAY NEEDS (6 YEAR HORIZON)
Wastewater Collection
1. Back-Up Power Supply for Wastewater Pump Stations
Currently Siler City does not have a backup power supply for three (3) of their eight (8)
wastewater pump stations. NCDENR regulations require standby power sources at all new lift
stations with a design capacity of 15,000 GPD or greater, and allow portable generators for new
stations with a design capacity of 15,000 GPD or less.
The Basic Machinery pump station is a duplex submersible pump station with 5 hp pumps. The
proposed project is to add a 20 KW generator with automatic transfer switch including
associated appurtenances and site work. The estimated total project cost is $55,000.
Harmony Hills pump station is a duplex submersible pump station with 17 hp pumps. The
proposed project is to add a 50 KW generator with automatic transfer switch including
associated appurtenances and site work. The estimated total project cost is $70,000.
North Chatham Avenue pump station is a duplex suction lift pump station with 10 hp pumps.
The proposed project is to add a 30 KW generator with automatic transfer switch including
associated appurtenances and site work. The estimated total project cost is $62,000.
2. 2016 CDBG Sewer System Improvements
As previously noted, the Lincoln Heights area, and additional area served by the North Street
Pump Station has a significant I/I issue, which resulted in an SSO of 150,000 gallons in
December 2015 that reached surface waters. The proposed project will rehabilitate and replace
lines and manholes in the area on both sides of US Highway 64. The estimated total project cost
is$2,000,000.A detailed cost estimate is provided in Appendix A.
3. Elk Street Finch Street, and Hunter Street Sewer Replacement
This proposed project includes the replacement of an existing 8-inch sewer line that has been
problematic for maintenance recently. The sewer parallels a drainage ditch between houses and
continues along that drainage ditch to connect to the Loves Creek outfall line. The proposed line
will cross under Loves Creek prior to connecting to the outfall. The estimated total project cost
is $129,950.A detailed cost estimate is provided in Appendix A.
4. West Fourth Street Sewer
The West Forth Street Sewer project is a short extension to provide direct access to sewer to this
residential street. The current sewer is run in private service lines since the Town sewer main
Town of Siler City — Wastewater Collection System Capital Improvement Plan
McGill Associates,P.A.—September 2016 Page 10

doesn't extend to this area. The estimated total project cost is $60,000. A detailed cost estimate
is provided in Appendix A.
5. Loves Creek Outfall Line Replacement
The Loves Creek outfall line is a 24" diameter clay pipe installed in 1963 making it
approximately 50 years old. It has an estimated capacity of 7.5 to 8 MGD based on the project
plans. Based on its age, pipe material and location it is anticipated that this line is a significant
source of I/I and its capacity will not meet the ultimate needs for the Town of Siler City. This
proposed project includes the replacement of the outfall line from Second Avenue to the
Wastewater Treatment Plant with a new 36" diameter gravity sewer. The line is primarily
located along Loves Creek in a maintained sewer right of way at a depth of approximately 6'-8'
deep with some portions up to 12' deep. The total length of the outfall line is 10,150 linear feet
and the estimated project cost is $2,020,900. A detailed cost estimate is provided in Appendix
A.
B. 10-YEAR PRIORITIZATION OF NEEDS
The aforementioned capital improvement projects are prioritized in this section based on McGill's
evaluation of the system and input from Town staff.

Debt Service Requirements
The Town of Siler City has two (2) current debts and two (2) debts which were retired in fiscal year
2014. Due to closure of the facilities of two significant water users revenue decreased significantly
in recent years requiring reserve funds to be utilized to balance the budget in some years. In 2014
the rate structure was modified and with the retirement of two debts the fiscal year 2015 budget is
anticipated to be balanced without the further use of reserve funds.

Given the current debt payments, the Town's ability to fund the needed wastewater collection
system improvements will be difficult without obtaining significant grant funding. It is
recommended that the Town pursue grant funds where possible in order to minimize future SSOs
and upgrade the collection system as necessary.

Re: Collection Permit Renewal Application, Section VII
Dear Sir,
The permit renewal application, Section VII, states to note any potential compliance issues. The Town of Siler City
is currently under a moratorium. One of the factors of the moratorium is I&I in the collection system. The Town
has applied for an SOC and is currently working with the State on the conditions of the SOC.
The main outfall coming into the wastewater plant is scheduled to be replaced with the upgrade of the plant. The
Town has also secured funding to replace Bloodrun Pump Station and the outfall that comes into town from that
pump station. Both, along with our current budget and the Town's commitment to replace sewer lines, should go
along way into reducing the current I&I issues that we have in town.
If you should have any questions or need further information, please let me know.
Sincerely,
C.41
