Sewer Project Narrative
For
Whitley Townes
The Whitley Townes development is a residential development that consists of 68
townhome units and will be located on a 10.74 Ac. parcel. The wastewater generated by
this residential area was calculated using the Flow Reduction Approval for the Town of
Smithfield (WQCS00270) dated February 25, 2022. A flow of 180 gallday per for the
first (2) bedrooms and 90 gallons per day for each additional bedroom was used to
calculate total flow. There are 3 bedrooms per lot bringing the daily flow for the project
to be 18,360 GPD. It will consist of 100% residential flow. The sewer system will be
constructed of approximately 1,123 LF of 8-inch PVC and 301 LF of 8-inch DIP
gravity sewer line including 10 new manholes. The wastewater treatment plant facility
that will be handling this flow is the Central Johnston County Regional Wastewater
Facility (Permit # NC 0030716). The permitted flow for the WWTF is 9.5 MGD and
after the allocation of the Whitley Townes's flow the WWTF will operate at 63.2% of
its total capacity.

Subject: Residential Flow Reduction Approval
Town of Smithfield (WQCS00270)
Johnston County
Dear Mr. Credle:
SEP 2 8 2022
Raleigh Regional Office
NC Dept of Environmental Quality
SEP 28 2022
Raleigh Regional Office
On August 5, 2021, the Division of Water Resources (Division) received a request for an
adjusted daily sewage flow rate (flow reduction) that would apply to all permitted but not yet
tributary residential connections and all future residential connections within the Town of
Smithfield service area. Additional information was requested by the Division and was received
on January 5, 2022.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .0114(f), the Division has evaluated the request, and based
on the data submitted, the Division hereby approves for use by the Town of Smithfield an
adjusted daily sewage design flow rate with the following conditions:
• The flow reduction is applicable to residential single-family dwellings only.
• The minimum flow for 1- and 2- bedroom dwellings shall be 180 gallons per day.
• Each additional bedroom above two bedrooms shall increase the volume by 90 gallons
per day per bedroom.
• This flow reduction shall not apply to sewer extension applications and/or permits for any
other public or private organizations whose wastewater flows are or might become
tributary to the Town of Smithfield collection system (WQCS00270).
Future sewer extension applications should be made using the flow reduction amount stated
above. All other aspects of the permitting process remain unchanged, and all applications must
be in compliance with the statutes, rules, regulations and minimum design criteria as certified by
the owner and engineer.
Regardless of the adjusted design daily wastewater flow rate, at no time shall the wastewater
flows exceed the effluent limits defined in the permit for the treatment facility or exceed the
capacity of the sewers downstream of any new sewer extension or service connectionfsI.

In accordance with I5A NCAC 02T .01 I4(f), the Division periodically requires reassessment of
wastewater flow data associated with the collection system or the receiving wastewater treatment
plant as applicable to confirm the suitability of the approved flow reduction value. The Town of
Smithfield shall submit documented, representative data in accordance with I5A NCAC 02T
Al 14(f)(I)(A-H) prior to the expiration date of collection system permit no. WQCS00270 on
September I, 2029. Failure to submit the required data by this date will result in this flow
reduction approval letter becoming null and void. Upon review of the data, the Division shall
either reapprove, modify or not grant reapproval for the previously approved flow reduction
value.
The granting of this flow reduction does not prohibit the Division from reopening, revoking,
reissuing and/or modifying the flow reduction as allowed by the laws, rules, and regulations
contained in I 5A NCAC 02T, NCGS 143-215.1, or as needed to address changes in State and/or
Federal regulations with respect to wastewater collection systems, protection of surface waters,
and/or wastewater treatment.
