JOHNSTON COUNTY PUBLIC UTILITIES
HOLT LAKE FORCE MAIN & WWPS UPGRADE
309 E. Market St.
Smithfield, North Carolina 27577
JCPU Project # 21-060-S
August 2022

DESIGN NARRATIVE
1.0 CURRENT SYSTEM
The existing Holt Lake WWPS and force main are permitted under WQ0023632. The pump
station is rated at 300 GPM with a firm capacity of 432,000 GIRD and a permitted capacity of
172,00 GPD. Currently, there is 4,450 LF of 6-inch DIP connecting the discharge side of the Holt
Lake Sewer Pump Station to an existing manhole located on the corner of Galilee Road and S.
Brightleaf Boulevard.
As operated today, the Holt Lake WWPS only receives flow from the Maycraft WWPS and a
small collection system. The average daily flow to the Holt Lake WWPS is 64,260 gpd. A new
plan for the region includes collecting a portion of the flow from the Four Oaks WWPS at the
Holt Lake WWPS and sending it to the Central Johnston County Regional Wastewater
Treatment Facility (CJCRWWTF)/
The Town of Benson can no longer receive the full amount of wastewater allocated in the
current agreement between the Town and County. Currently the County sends all of the
wastewater received at the Four Oaks WWPS to the Town of Benson. A new agreement is
being developed with the Town of Benson to set a sustainable amount of flow that can be
received by the Town. Any additional flow will need to be sent to the Central Johnston County
Regional WWTF (CJCRWWTF). Until that path is opened up, the Town of Four Oaks cannot
permit additional wastewater flow. The Town is seeing growth pressure for the first time in
decades and needs a solution.
A separate project includes upgrading the Four Oaks WWPS to be able to send flow to the Town
of Benson and to the CJCRWWTF simultaneously. Along the path to the CJCRWWTF, the Holt
Lake WWPS and the downstream FM will need to be upgraded and the Neuse River WWPS will
need to be replaced. Design of all three projects are underway.
The upgrades to the Four Oaks will allow the County to send 360 GPM to the Town of Benson
and 450 GPM to the CJCRWWTF simultaneously and better utilize the equalization on site. The
upgrade to the Holt Lake WWPS will modify the station ro accommodate an in -line grinder,
upgrade the pumping capaacity to 700 gpm including VFDs, and a new generator. In addition,
4,500 If of 8" FM along an existing easement to the gravity system that drains to the Neuse
River WWPS.

The existing Neuse River WWPS is precariously located close to the bridge over the Neuse River
on US 301. Access to the station is cut off during flood events and the station is in need of
major repairs. In addition, the NC DOT bridge replacement project will make safe access to the
site limited. A replacement station with a capacity of 800 gpm is planned outside of the
floodplain is currently under design as a third project.
2.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The work consists of installing approximately 4,472 LF of 8-inch force main from the Holt Lake
Sewer Pump Station to a cut -in proposed 5' diameter manhole. The proposed 5' diameter
manhole will be cut into an existing 12-inch DIP gravity sewer line that runs parallel to S.
Brightleaf Boulevard. The Holt Lake WWPS will be upgraded to 700 GPM. Upgrades to the
station will include the addition of a grinder in an upstream manhole, new pumps equipped
with VFD and a new generator.
3.0 FLOW PROJECTIONS
The design of the Four Oaks WWPS includes the upgrade to allow the station to send up to 450
GPM of flow to the Holt Lake WWPS. This design flow includes excess to handle the projected
growth from the Town of Four Oaks.
The Holt Lake WWPS also receives flow from the May Craft WWPS (rated at 133 GPM). The
May Craft WWPS is currently loaded at 37% of permitted capacity. Little to no growth is
expected from the May Craft WWPS service area. In addition, the Holt Lake WWPS receives an
average daily flow of approximately 36,000 GPD in gravity flow. Using a peaking factor of 2.5
the station could receive up to 645 GPM from the existing system when flow from the Four
Oaks Station is diverted.
The design of the Holt Lake WWPS will upgrade the pumping capacity to 700 GPM.

5.0 PUMP STATION UPGRADE DESIGN
The existing pump station has a 10ft diameter wetwell. The distance from the lead pump on to the pump off
is currently set at 3.5ft. The new pumps will require larger motors. In a traditional submersible pump set up,
maintaining proper submergence on the motors would require a smaller distance in between the floats. That
plus the increase in flow rate would lead to frequent pump cycles (approx. 10 per hour).
The proposed design uses a submersible pump equipped with a cooling jacket for the motor. This design
requires only 18 inches of liquid above the base of the pump. A model similar to the WILO FA 15.66E FKT27.1
with a 56.3 HP FTK motor with closed loop cooling would provide the needed pumping rate and allow for the
minimum 5 ft distance in between floats to reduce the pumping cycles to 6 per hour.

The proposed pump has a 6 inch discharge and will require that the existing 4inch base elbows within the
wetwell be replace with new 6 inch bases. The existing piping rising through the wetwell and leading to the
header is currently 6 inch in diameter.
In addition, improvements to the electrical panel and a new generator will be included in the project.

RE: Johnston County Public Utilities
Holt Lake Force Main and WWPS Upgrade
Fast Track Sewer System Extension Application
To Whom It May Concern:
We respectfully submit this application for a Fast Track Sewer System Extension Application for the Holt Lake Force
Main Upgrade project. The work consists of installing approximately 4,472 LF of 8-inch force main from the Holt Lake
Sewer Pump Station to a cut -in proposed 5' diameter manhole. The proposed 5' diameter manhole will be cut into an
existing 12-inch DIP gravity sewer line that runs parallel to S. Brightleaf Boulevard. The Holt Lake WWPS will be
upgraded to 700 GPM. Upgrades to the station will include the addition of a grinder in an upstream manhole, new pumps
equipped with VFD and a new generator. The upgrade will reduce maintenance costs, improve pumping efficiency, and
will help with future growth in the area.
Included in this submittal are two copies (one original, one copy) of the following
documentation:
• Fast Track Application (Form: FTA 06-21)
• Existing Permit
• USGS Quad Map
• Aerial Map
• Project Narrative
• Check No.] 24697 in the amount of $480.00
Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions or concerns. We
appreciate your time and consideration regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
