Regional Office
On behalf of the Town of Pilot Mountain, WithersRavenel is submitting the attached Fast Track
Sewer Extension Permit modification application for the Town of Pilot Mountain Collection
System Improvements project. The Town has received a letter of intent to fund (LOIF) from the
NCDEQ Department of Water Infrastructure (DWI) indicating that a total of $2,845,000 will be
remitted for the project. The funding source is 50% grant and 50% low -interest loan.
A Fast Track application was previously approved by your office on December 1, 2023, permit
number WQ0044958. The project scope is identical to that of the previous application, except for
quantities, sizes, and materials of the proposed gravity sewer and force main infrastructure,
following a design change. The scope of work described in the previous application and cover
letter is the same, with the following exceptions:
• The proposed force main to re-route flow from the new Lift Station 18 location and tie-in
to the existing 3-inch force main was originally listed as 685 LF of 3-inch pipe. The updated
quantity and size are 305 LF of 4-inch force main.
• The proposed gravity sewer was originally listed as 825 LF of 8-inch PVC and 255 LF of 8-
inch DIP for a total of 1,080 LF. The updated quantities are 55 LF of 8-inch PVC and 1,005
LF of 8-inch DIP for a total of 1,060 LF. The material change was for improved longevity
of the proposed gravity sewer which will be located under an existing road asphalt.
As stated in the original application, the project will re-route existing flow; no additional flow will
be added to the collection system. It is requested that the existing permit be modified and re-
issued for the updated gravity sewer and force main quantities.

Subject: Fast Track Sewer Extension Application
On behalf of the Town of Pilot Mountain, WithersRavenel is submitting the attached Fast Track
Sewer Extension Permit modification application for the Town of Pilot Mountain Collection
System Improvements project. The Town has received a letter of intent to fund (LOIF) from the
NCDEQ Department of Water Infrastructure (DWI) indicating that a total of $2,845,000 will be
remitted for the project. The funding source is 50% grant and 50% low -interest loan.
A Fast Track application was previously approved by your office on December 1, 2023, permit
number WQ0044958. The project scope is identical to that of the previous application, except for
quantities, sizes, and materials of the proposed gravity sewer and force main infrastructure,
following a design change. The scope of work described in the previous application and cover
letter is the same, with the following exceptions:
• The proposed force main to re-route flow from the new Lift Station 18 location and tie-in
to the existing 3-inch force main was originally listed as 685 LF of 3-inch pipe. The updated
quantity and size are 305 LF of 4-inch force main.
• The proposed gravity sewer was originally listed as 825 LF of 8-inch PVC and 255 LF of 8-
inch DIP for a total of 1,080 LF. The updated quantities are 55 LF of 8-inch PVC and 1,005
LF of 8-inch DIP for a total of 1,060 LF. The material change was for improved longevity
of the proposed gravity sewer which will be located under an existing road asphalt.
As stated in the original application, the project will re-route existing flow; no additional flow will
be added to the collection system. It is requested that the existing permit be modified and re-
issued for the updated gravity sewer and force main quantities.
