the volume of wastewater to be permitted in this project has been evaluated along the route to the receiving
wastewater treatment facility and that the flow from this project is not anticipated to cause any capacity
related sanitary sewer overflows or overburden any downstream pump station en route to the receiving
treatment plant under normal circumstances, given the implementation of the planned improvements
identified in the planning assessment where applicable. This analysis has been performed in accordance
with local established policies and procedures using the best available data. This certification applies to
those items listed above in Sections I and II plus all attached planning assessment addendums for which I
am the responsible party. Signature of this form certifies that the receiving collection system or treatment
works has adequate capacity to transport and treat the proposed new wastewater.

Section I
a. WWTP Facility Name: Enter the name of the WWTP that will receive the wastewater flow.
b. WWTP Facility Permit #: Enter the NPDES or Non -Discharge number for the WWTP receiving the
wastewater flow.
c. WWTP facility's permitted flow, MGD: From WWTP owner's NPDES or Non -Discharge permit.
d. Estimated obligated flow not yet tributary to the WWTP, MGD: This includes flows allocated to other
construction projects not yet contributing flow to the collection system. Flows allocated through interlocal
agreements or other contracts not yet contributing flow to the collection system are also included. For POTWs
that implement a pretreatment program, include flows allocated to industrial users who may not be using all of
their flow allocation. Please contact your Pretreatment Coordinator for information on industrial flow tributary
to your WWTP.
As of January 15, 2008 the POTW should have reviewed flow allocations made over the last two years and
reconciled their flow records, to the best of their ability, so it is known how much flow has been obligated and
is not yet been made tributary to the WWTP, in accordance with local policies and procedures employed by the
reporting entity.
e. WWTP facility's actual avg. flow, MGD: Previous 12 month average.
£ Total flow for this specific request, MGD: Enter the requested flow volume.
g. Total actual and obligated flows to the facility, MGD Equals [d + e + fJ
h. Percent of permitted flow used: Equals [(g / c)* 100]
For example:
On January 15 a POTW with a permitted flow of 6.0 MGD, reported to the Regional Office that there is 0.5
MGD of flow that is obligated but not yet tributary. The annual average flow for 2007 is 2.7 MGD. There is a
proposed flow expansion of 0.015 MGD.
The first Form FTSE submitted after January 15, 2008 may have numbers like this:
c. = 6.0 MGD
d. = 0.5 MGD
e. = 2.7 MGD
£ = 0.015 MGD
g. = 3.215 MGD
h. = 53.6 %
The next Form FTSE may be updated like this with a proposed flow expansion of 0.102 MGD:
c. = 6.0 MGD
d. = 0.515 MGD
e. = 2.73 MGD
f. = 0.102 MGD
g. = 3.349 MGD

Section II
List the pump station name or number and approximate pump station firm capacity, approximate design average
daily flow (A) approximate current average daily flow (B), and the obligated, not yet tributary flow through the
pump station (C) for each pump station that will be impacted by the proposed sewer extension project. Calculate
the total current flow plus obligated flow (D=B+C) and the available capacity (E=A-D). Include the proposed flow
for this project with other obligated flows that have been approved for the pump station but are not yet tributary
(C).
Firm capacity is the maximum pumped flow that can be achieved with the largest pump out of service as per the
Minimum Design Criteria.
Design Average Daily Flow is the firm capacity of the pump station divided by a peaking factor (pf) of not less than
2.5.
If the available capacity (E) for any pump station is < 0, then prepare a planning assessment for that pump station
if the system has future specific plans related to capacity that should be considered in the permitting process.

Planning Assessment Addendum Instructions
Submit a planning assessment addendum for each pump station listed in Section II where available capacity is < 0.
A planning assessment for Kaw Creek PS (see example data above) may be performed to evaluate whether there is
significant likelihood that needed improvements or reductions in obligated flows will be in place prior to activating
the flows from the proposed sewer extension project.
If the system decides to accept the flow based on a planning assessment addendum, it is responsible to manage the
flow without capacity related sanitary overflows and must take all steps necessary to complete the project or control
the rate of flow to prevent sanitary sewer overflows.
The planning assessment may identify a funded project currently in design or construction, or a planned project in
the future not yet funded but in a formal plan adopted by the system. The system should carefully weigh the
certainty of successful timely project completion for any expansion, flow management diversion or infiltration and
inflow elimination projects that are the foundation of a planned solution to capacity tracking and acceptance
compliance.
For example:
Given that:
a. The proportion and amount of obligated, not yet tributary flow accounts for 24 % and 0.080 MGD of the
committed flow in Pump Station Kaw Creek; and that
b. The rate of activation of this obligated, not yet tributary capacity is currently approximately 0.01 MGD
per year; and that
c. A funded capital project that will provide the required planned capacity, namely
is in design or under construction with planned
completion in ; and/or
d. The following applies:
The master plan and ten year capital plan contain recommended scope and funding for a capital project entitled
Kaw Creek Pump Station upgrade with funding planned in July 2014. This project is planned to add 0.100 MGD
to the firm capacity of the pump station by October 2015. Inclusion of this proposed capital project as a condition
of this Flow Tracking/Acceptance for Sewer Extension Permit Application elevates this project's priority for
funding and construction to be implemented ahead of the activation of obligated, not yet tributary flows in amounts
that exceed the firm pump station capacities identified in Section II above.
Therefore:
Given reasonably expected conditions and planning information, there is sufficient justification to allow this flow
to be permitted, without a significant likelihood of over -allocating capacity in the system infrastructure.

From: Jay Meyers, PE 06 P� —* -a2 4
Subject: Sanitary Sewer Service for 9220 Purfoy Road & 1601 Eastwood Drive
Introduction
The subject properties, 9220 Purfoy Road and 1601 Eastwood Drive, are the result of a minor subdivision
recorded in Wake County Register of Deeds Book 2020 Page 00561, from a single parcel (1601
Eastwood Drive, purchased by Cypress Homes in 2018. The properties were annexed into the Town of
Fuquay-Varina Corporate limits in 2020 (Ordinance Number N-20-19). Part of the voluntary annexation
petition was that the properties would be served by the Town's sanitary sewer system via connection to
the Town's existing 10-inch forcemain on Purfoy Road, the forcemain being from the Hidden Valley
Pump Station.
Each home is proposed to be served by a package simplex pump station with individual taps onto the
existing 10-inch forcemain.
Design Flow
Each home is proposed to be a 4-bedroom home. The Town of Fuquay-Varina received a Flow
Reduction letter (attached) dated November 7, 2001 that allows 75/gpd per bedroom. Therefore, the
average day flow for each home would be 300 gpd. Using a peaking factor of 5, the pumping rate would
be 1.04 gpm; however, a shower at 5 gpm running for an extended period would more likely represent a
peak flow, so 5-gpm would be a more appropriate design flow.
Development of System Curves
The forcemain for each pump station will discharge into the existing Hidden Valley Pump Station 10-inch
forcemain located on the east side of Purfoy Road. Because the Iayout of lots is currently unavailable, a
forcemain length of 100 feet is assumed. In order to maintain 2-feet per second minimum velocity, a 1.25
nominal diameter HDPE forcemain is proposed. Due to an intervening water line, the Town of Fuquay-
Varina has requested a reverse tap on the forcemain and restraints on the forcemain at the reverse tap.

ERIN PLL
While 1.25 HDPE has a bend radius of 12.5 inches, in order to provide restraint system the forcemain is
proposed to increase to 2-inch diameter at this location to allow for use of a mechanical restraint system.
Equivalent pipe lengths for bends, plug valves, and check valves is calculated to be approximately 60-feet
of 1.25-inch diameter HDPE pipe,
The system curves include C-factors of 140 for new pipe and 120 for old pipe in accordance with the
NCDEQ "Minimum Design Criteria for Pump Stations".
Three conditions are considered, the package pump running alone, the package pump station and existing
Hidden Valley Pump Station running simultaneously, and a future upgrade to the Hidden Valley Pump
Station for increased pumping capacity and an assumed increase of pumping head up to 100-feet over
existing TDH (from 137 to 237).
Based on as -built information for the Hidden Valley Pump Station prepared by Timmons Group dated
12/28/2018 the following information was used to determine forcemain pressures at the potential
connection points when the Hidden Valley Pump Station is running.
Wet well pump off elevation - 270.75
Forcemain elevation at station 101+00 - 352
Pump Station operating total dynamic head is 137 feet at 502 gpm
Pressure at connection point would be 270.75+137 - 352 — 55.75', or 24 psi.
'-This calculation ignores friction loss in flows, and therefore is conservative estimate
A copy of the system curves are attached. The selected pump is the E-One SPD pump within the E-One
WH471 grinder pump station. The pump curve with the system curves superimposed is attached and the
operating points summarized below. To calculate velocity in the forcemain, the 1.25 inch nominal
diameter forcemain HDPE SDR-9 pipe inner diameter 1.27 inches is used.

From the E-One manufacturer information, the volume between the preset on -off floats is 89 gallons.
At the peak flow of 5-gpm, the maximum cycle time would be for initial conditions:
8915 = 17.8 minutes to fill
891(13.25-5) = 10.8 minutes to pump down
Min Cycle Time = 28.6 minutes cycle time = 2.1 cycles per hour.
At the average day flow of 0.21-gpm, the average hour cycle time would be for initial conditions:

INSTRUCTIONS WILL
VOID WARRANTY
The following instructions
define the recommended
procedure for installing the
Model WH/WR47 grinder pump
station.
This is a sewage handling
pump and must be vented in
accordance with local plumbing
codes. This pump is not to be
installed in locations classified
as hazardous in accordance
with National Electric Code,
ANSI / NFPA 70. All piping and
electrical systems must be in
compliance with applicable
local and state codes.
1. REMOVE PACKING
MATERIAL: The User
Instructions must be given to
the owner. Hardware supplied
with the unit, if any, will be used
at installation.
2. TANK INSTALLATION:
The tank is typically supplied
with a standard grommet for
connecting the 4" DWV (4.50"
outside dia.) incoming sewer
drain. Other inlet types and
sizes are optional. Caution:
4" DR-35 pipe has a smaller
diameter and won't create
a watertight joint with the
standard 4" SCH 40 inlet
grommet. Confirm that you
have the correct inlet before
continuing. Do not drop, roll,
or lay tank on its side. This
will damage the unit and void
the warranty.
Excavate a hole to a depth so
that the station cover extends
1" to 3" above the finished
grade line. The finished
grade must slope away from
the station cover to prevent
surface water from entering
the station. The diameter of the
hole shall be large enough to
allow for the concrete ballast
anchor. The size, shape and
shoring requirements of the
excavation will be based on

the soil conditions and must
be in accordance with the site
engineer's recommendation
and safety requirements. Care
must be taken during lifting and
placement to prevent impacting
or otherwise damaging the tank
(see Lifting Instructions). Only
a non -marring sling, rated for
the load being lifted, should
be used in contact with the
tank surfaces. A pre -ballasted
tank must not be lifted with a
sling (see Lifting Instructions).
Lifting chains or cables should
not be placed in direct contact
with the tank surfaces. Fill the
excavation bottom with a 6"
deep bed of gravel, naturally
rounded aggregate, clean and
free flowing, with particles not
less than 1 /8" or more than 3/4"
in size.
A concrete ballast anchor is
required to prevent flotation of
the tank when groundwater is
present. The concrete anchor
is not optional. The MINIMUM
concrete anchor requirements
for the WH/WR 47 station are
shown in Chart 1 of the Ballast
Calculation section.
Pour approximately 1" to 2"
of concrete onto the gravel
bed and place the tank into the
excavation. Ensure the tank
is properly positioned in the
excavation to support inlet pipe
(Section 3) and discharge pipe
(Section 5) connections before
pouring the concrete ballast.
The unit should be leveled
and filled with water, about 24"
deep, to prevent shifting while
the remaining ballast is being
poured. The concrete should
be vibrated, as necessary,
to eliminate voids. If it is
necessary to pour the concrete
above the inlet level (Section
3), the inlet must be sleeved
with an 8" tube before pouring.
5
Concrete ballast should be
cast in -place around the tank
in the excavation (Figure 3).
Alternatively, pre -cast ballast
around the base of the tank,
may be used. Ensure that 1"
to 2" of concrete is placed
beneath the tank base if pre-
cast ballast is used. If the
concrete is pre -cast, lifting
hooks must be anchored in the
ballast to support subsequent
handling of the tank (see Lifting
Instructions). The lifting hooks
used must be adequate to
support the combined weight of
the tank and concrete ballast
and shall be sized and installed
in accordance with the site
engineer's recommendation.
Place the ballasted tank on
the gravel bedding in the
excavated hole using the
lifting hooks. Do not lift by
any of the tank surfaces if
pre -cast ballast is utilized.
3. INLET LOCATIONS:
A 4" DWV (standard) inlet
grommet was provided with
the station for sealing the
inlet pipe at the tank wall. If
Figure 3
POURED IN PLACE
the inlet grommet penetration
was not factory installed, the
location of the tank inlet must
be determined to support final
positioning of the tank prior to
ballast installation (see Section
2). The inlet pipe location
corresponds with the actual
or projected point where the
building sewer line intersects
the tank wall. The grade of
the inlet pipe and required
burial depth (per national
and local code requirements)
must be accounted for when
determining the inlet location.
The supply cable path
should be considered when
selecting the inlet location (see
Section 8). A 5" diameter field
penetration of the tank wall is
required to support installation
of the (standard) inlet grommet
This penetration must not
remove or interfere with any
of the structural ribbing on the
polyethylene tank. The inlet
grommet may be installed in
any of the allowable locations
shown in Figure 7. The inlet
penetration must be centered
in the location selected to
prevent interference with
the tank ribbing. Typical inlet
installation will be on one of
the four, 10.5" diameter raised
pads on the tank body. The
pads have been marked with
a series of locating lines to
support centering of the 5"
(standard) drilled penetration.
Any inlet installed in the
depressed panels between the
horizontal and vertical ribbing
must be centered within the
panel to provide adequate
clearance for the 6" diameter
flange on the standard 4" inlet
grommet (Figure 7). Once the
location of the inlet penetration
is selected, mark the inlet
center location on the tank
and position the tank. Using
a 5" diameter hole saw for
a standard 4" grommet, drill
through the tank wall at the
marked location. Remove any
chips or burrs from the drilled
hole. Install the provided inlet
grommet into the drilled hole.
The grommet is self-sealing
and does not require the use of
PRE -CAST BALLAST
TYPICAL IN -GROUND SECTION VIEW
additional sealant or adhesive.
4. INLET PIPE
INSTALLATION: Mark the
inlet pipe 3.5" from the end to
be inserted. Inlet pipe leading
edge should be beveled with
a grinder and lubricated with
a soap solution. Lubricate
the inlet grommet with soap
solution as well. Insert the pipe
into the grommet up to the 3.5"
mark. Inspect to ensure the
grommet has remained intact
and in place (Figure 7).
5. DISCHARGE: The use
of 1.25" PVC pressure pipe
SCH 40 and polyethylene
pipe SDR 11 or SIDR 7 are
recommended. If polyethylene
is chosen, use compression -
type fittings to provide a
smooth inner passage.
E/One requires that an
E/One Uni-Lateral assembly
(E/One part number
NBO184PXX or NC0193GXX)
or E/One Redundant Check
Valve (E/One part number
PC0051 GXX) be installed in
the pipe lateral outside the
home between the pump
Figure 4
discharge and the street main
on all installations. Never use
a ball -type valve as a check
valve. E/One recommends
the valve be installed as close
to the public right-of-way as
possible. Check local codes for
applicable requirements.
CAUTION: Redundant check
valves on station laterals
and anti-siphon/check valve
assemblies on grinder pump
cores should not be used as
system isolation valves during
line tests.
There is a slide face valve
and a quick disconnect pre -
installed in the tank for grinder
pump connection. There is
a stainless steel 1.25" NPT
female discharge connection
on the outside of the tank
to support discharge piping
connection.
6. BACKFILL
REQUIREMENTS: Proper
backfill is essential to the
long term reliability of any
underground structure.
Several methods of backfill are
available to produce favorable
SHROUD
_E
roR
OTHERS)
Power at the station must not drop below 10% of nameplate
voltage. Maximum Recommended Length:
120 Volt 60' (min. voltage at pump — 108V)
240 Volt 150' (min. voltage at pump — 216V)
Consult factory for longer lengths
TYPICAL SUPPLY CABLE CONFIGURATION
results with different native soil
conditions.
The recommended method
of backfilling is to surround
the unit to grade using Class
I or Class II backfill material
as defined in ASTM 2321.
Class 1 A and Class 1 B are
recommended where frost
heave is a concern; Class
1 B is a better choice when
the native soil is sand or if a
high, fluctuating water table
is expected. Class I, angular
crushed stone, offers an added
benefit in that it needs minimal
compaction. Class II, naturally
rounded stone, may require
more compactive effort, or
tamping, to achieve the proper
density.
If the native soil condition
consists of clean compactible
soil, with less than 12% fines,
free of ice, rocks, roots, and
organic material, it may be
an acceptable backfill. Such
soil must be compacted in
lifts not to exceed one foot to
reach a final Proctor Density
between 85% and 90%. Non -
compactible clays and silts are
not suitable backfill for this
or any underground structure
such as inlet or discharge
lines. If you are unsure of
the consistency of the native
soil, it is recommended that a
geotechnical evaluation of the
material be obtained before
specifying backfill.
Another option is the use of
a flowable fill (i.e., low slump
concrete). This is particularly
attractive when installing
grinder pump stations in
augured holes where tight
clearances make it difficult to
assure proper backfilling and
compaction with dry materials.
Flowable fills should not be
dropped with more than 4

feet between the discharge
nozzle and the bottom of the
hole because this can cause
separation of the constituent
materials.
7. VENTING: The unit must
be properly vented to assure
correct operation of the pump.
The units are supplied with a
2" vent opening in the cover
assembly. Failure to properly
vent the tank will result in faulty
operation and will void the
warranty.
If the water level outside
of the station is expected to
rise above the surrounding
grade (flooding), a cover vent
system cannot be used. If
flood conditions are expected,
an underground (lateral) vent
system and solid cover must be
used. Consult the factory if
flood conditions are possible
where the station will be
installed.
8. ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION: (Supply panel
to E/One alarm panel)
Before proceeding, verify that
the service voltage is the same
as the motor voltage shown
on the name plate. An alarm
device is to be installed in a
conspicuous location where it
can be readily seen. An alarm
device is required on every
installation. There shall be no
exceptions.
Wiring of supply panel and
alarm panel shall be per
Figures 2a-2d, alarm panel
wiring diagrams and local
codes. A dedicated 30 amp
breaker is required before
all simplex alarm panels. A
dedicated 30 amp breaker is
required before a 240V duplex
alarm panel, and a dedicated
40 amp breaker is required
before a 120V duplex alarm
panel.
9. ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION: (Pump to
Panel) (Fig. 4) The grinder
pump station is provided with a
cable for connection between
the station and the alarm panel
(supply cable) for each grinder
pump. The supply cable, a six
conductor tray cable, meets
NEC requirements for direct
burial as long as a minimum of
24" burial depth is maintained.
Those portions of the cable
which have less than 24" of
cover must be contained in
suitable conduit. This includes
the vertical portion dropping
to a 24" depth at the station
and the length rising out of the
ground at the control panel
(conduit by others). NOTE:
Wiring must be installed per
national and local codes.
Conduit must enter panel from
bottom and be sealed per NEC
section 300.5 & 300.7.
9a. Installing E/One supply
cable:
1) Open the lid of the station
and locate the cable and the
feed-thru connector on the
wall of the shroud or on the
inside wall of the tank (Model
WH/WR47 x 77"). Loosen the
nut on the connector and pull
the supply cable out through
the connector until it hits the
crimped -on stop feature on
the cable, approximately 36"
from the EQD. "IMPORTANT:
All but 36" of the cable must
be pulled out of the station,
and the Equalizer and EQD
should be secured in the hook
provided to ensure that the
pump functions properly. Do
not leave the excess cable in
the station.
2) Retighten the nut. This
connection must be tight or
ground water will enter the
station.
3) Feed the wire through the
length of conduit (contractor
provided), which will protect it
until it is below the 24" burial
depth.
4) On models WH/WR47
x 92" and taller, position the
conduit vertically below the
cable connector along side
of the station reaching down
into the burial depth. Attach
the small protective shroud
provided with the station to
protect the exposed cable
where it enters the station.
Four self -tapping screws are
provided.
5) Run the cable
underground, in a trench or
tunnel, to the location of the
alarm panel. Leave a 6- to 12-
inch loop of cable at each end
to allow for shifting and settling.
Connections made at the panel
are shown in the panel wiring
diagram (Figures 2a-2d).
10. GRINDER PUMP STAND
ASSEMBLY: Temporarily
rest the grinder pump on its
side. Using a block of wood
or similar object, prop up
the lower pump end to allow
installation of the pump stand.
Align the two legs of each
pump stand half with two of
the holes in the pump lower
end (Figure 5). Push the stand
legs into the pump lower end.
Using a mallet, ensure that
the stand legs bottom into the
mounting holes. Repeat for the
other stand half. Turn the pump
upright on the installed stand.
11. DEBRIS REMOVAL:
Prior to start-up test procedure,
the incoming sewer line
must be flushed to force all
miscellaneous debris into
the tank. Next, all liquid and
debris must be removed. Once
the tank is clean, install the
pump(s) and proceed with the
test.
12. INSTALL THE PUMP:
Lower the pump into the
tank. Position the pump so
the pump's discharge is on
the opposite side of the pump
relative to the discharge in
the tank. Position the pump
in the center of the tank.
Rotate to coil the discharge
hose and slide the adapter on
the discharge hose into the
receiver in the tank wall until
it seats. Push the white slider
down to open the discharge
valve. Refer to Figures 8-11
for slideface connection and
operation.
Hang power cable, breather
tubing with Equalizer, and
lifting rope to prevent them
from laying in sewage. The
Equalizer should be hung as
high as possible in the tank.
13. TEST PROCEDURE
The following steps should
be taken to verify proper
installation and operation:
a) Make sure that the
discharge slide face valve(s)
is fully open. This valve(s)
must not be closed when the
pump is operating. In some
installations, there may be a
valve, or valves, at the street
main that must also be open.
(Ignore all Trouble
indications, LEDs and/or
messages until the panel
is reset at the end of this
procedure.)
For model WH/WR 471:
b) Fill the tank with
approximately 200 gallons of
water (approximately up to the
top of the grinder pump).
c) Turn on the pump power
and alarm circuit breakers in
the alarm panel. The grinder
pump and alarm should turn on
immediately.
d) Monitor the pump and
alarm to ensure they are
operating correctly. The alarm
will shut off at a water level
of approximately 18" from the
bottom. The grinder pump
will shut off at a water level
of approximately 14" from the
bottom. Proceed to Step i.
For model WH/WR 472:
b) Fill the tank with
approximately 200 gallons of
water (approximately up to the
top of the grinder pump).
c) Turn on the Pump #1
power breaker and the alarm
circuit breakers in the alarm
panel. Grinder Pump #1 and
the alarm should turn on
immediately.
d) Monitor the pump and
alarm to ensure they are
operating correctly. The alarm
will shut off at a water level
of approximately 18" from the
bottom. The grinder pump
will shut off at a water level
of approximately 14" from the
bottom.
e) Turn off the Pump #1 and
alarm circuit breakers.
f) Refill the tank with
approximately 200 gallons of
water (approximately up to the
top of the grinder pump).
g) Turn on the Pump #2
power breaker and the alarm
circuit breakers in the alarm
panel. Grinder Pump #2 and
the alarm should turn on
immediately.
h) Monitor the pump and
alarm to ensure they are
operating correctly. The alarm
will shut off at a water level
of approximately 18" from the
bottom. The grinder pump
will shut off at a water level
of approximately 14" from the
bottom.
i) Clear/Reset the alarm
panel:
Sentry and T260 panels:
Reset is not required.
Protect Panel: Turn pump
and alarm breakers off and
back on simultaneously.
Protect Plus Panels: Perform
a "cold start" from the Initialize
System menu. Any user setting
that were previously chosen
will not be reset.
j) If any Trouble or alarm
conditions are indicated after
the panel is reset, contact your
local service provider.

Field Joint Assembly Instructions
IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE JOINT IS SEALED PROPERLY BEFORE
BACKFILLING. EXCAVATING A UNIT FOR REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE AND CAN BE EASILY
AVOIDED BY USING PROPER CAUTION DURING THE FOLLOWING PROCEDURE.
Parts included in Field Joint Kit:
Identify all parts before proceeding
with installation.
(16) 3/8-16 X 1-1/2 long screws
(16) 3/8-16 Elastic Stop Nuts
(32) Flat Washers
(1) Length Sealant (Sika) Tape
(1) Hole Punch
1) Carefully clean and dry both
accessway flanges with solvent.
IMPORTANT: Sealing surfaces
must be dry to ensure the
sealant adheres correctly.
2) Starting at one hole of tank
flange, apply two layers of Sika
Tape around the inside half of the
flange. Align the outside edge of
the tape with the bolt circle. Move
to the adjacent hole and apply
one layer of Sika Tape around
the outside of the flange. Align
inside of tape with the bolt circle.
Remove the backing paper as you
lay the adhesive on the flange.
Do not stretch Sika tape during
application, it may result in a
leak. The tape should overlap at
the end by approximately 1/2 inch,
as shown in Figure 6a. If a section
of Sika Tape is misapplied, the
bad section may be cut out and
replaced. Cut away the poorly laid
portion cleanly with a knife and be
sure to over lap the tape at each
end about 1/2 inch.
3) Using the tool provided,
punch a hole through the tape at
each of the 16 existing bolt holes
in the flange. Be careful to keep
the exposed sealant clean and
d ry.
4) Insert three of the sixteen 3/8-
16 x 1-1/2" long bolts, with a flat
washer, into the flange attached to
the upper part of the accessway.
These will act as guides while
aligning the bolt pattern of the two
flanges.
5) Support the upper accessway
section a few inches over the tank
with the green stripes on each
lined up. Once aligned, lower the
upper section onto the mating
flange using the three bolts to
guide it to the proper position. See
Figure 6b.
6) Insert the remaining 13 bolts
with flat washers into the flanges.
Place a flat washer and elastic
stop nut on the end of each bolt,
turning the nut on just enough to
hold the washer in place.
7) Tighten up the bolts until
the sealant begins to squeeze
out from between the flanges.
To ensure a consistent, sturdy
seal tighten them in the following
sequence: 1, 9; 5, 13; 3, 11; 7, 15;
2, 10; 4, 12; 6, 14; 8, 16. Always
be sure to tighten one bolt and
then the bolt at the position 180'
from it, see Figure 6a for position
Figure 6a
Figure 6b
numbers.
8) Using the same sequence as
in step 7 tighten each bolt to 60
in-lbs. Visually inspect the joint,
each bolt and each nut should
have a flat washer between it and
the flange, and a uniform amount
of sealant should be protruding
from the seam along the entire
perimeter.
In the event that there are
any voids in the sealant, the
joint may leak. Take corrective
actions if necessary and be
sure that the joint is leak free
before continuing.

Lifting Instructions
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY WILL VOID WARRANTY.
1. Transporting unit to
installation site: Always lift a
unit from the bottom for the
purpose of transportation.
The station should be
received attached to a pallet
for this purpose. Never roll a
station or move it on its side.
2. No Ballast (to be poured in
place): If the concrete anchor is
to be poured while the station
is in place lift the unit using two
nylon straps wrapped under
the tank flange to make a sling,
as shown below. Keep station
oriented vertically to avoid any
damage.
3. Precast Ballast: Never
lift a station that has a ballast
attached by any means except
the rebar. The weight of the
concrete will damage the
station if you attempt to lift it
from any part of the station.

E/One Grinder Pump Station Ballast Calculations
Sample Calculation — Station Height of 92"
Volume of Station = 73.1 ft3
Station Weight = 350 Ibs
Station Height = 7.3 ft
A. Buoyant Force
1. The buoyant force acting on the submerged WH/WR47 is equal to the weight of the displaced
water for the section of the tank that is submerged.
Fbuoyant = (density of water)(volume of station)
= (62.4 Ibs/cu ft)(73.1 cu ft)
= 4560 Ibs
2. The net buoyant force acting on the station (Fnet-buoyant) is equal to the buoyant force (Fbuoyant)
minus the weight of the station tank.
Fnet-buoyant = 4560 Ibs — 350 Ibs
= 4210 Ibs
B. Ballast Force
1. Determine the volume of concrete and soil
Section I: Used To Determine The Volume Of Concrete
(Note: 4.0 ft = assumed inside diameter of concrete ballast ring around tank's bottom flange)
Volume = (Height)(Area)
= (.83 ft)(Tc)((5.6 ft)2 — (4.0 ft)2) / 4
= (.83 ft)(12.06 ft2)
= 10.1 ft3
Section II: Used To Determine The Volume Of Saturated Soil
(Note: 4.3 ft = assumed inside diameter of soil column around tank's maximum diameter)
Volume = (Height)(Area)
= (7.3 ft — .83 ft)(7u)((5.6 ft)2 — (4.26 ft)2) / 4
= (6.46 ft)(10.1 ft2)
= 65.2 ft3
2. Determine the combined ballast
Ballast (total) = Ballast (concrete) + Ballast (saturated soil)
= (Vconcrete)(density concrete in water) + (Vso.,)(density saturated soil)
= (10.1 ft3)(87.52 Ibs/ft3) + (65.2 ft3)(70 Ibs/ft3)
= 884 Ibs + 4564 Ibs
= 5450 Ibs
C. Subtract the buoyant force from the ballast force to determine the final condition
Final Condition = Ballast Force — Net Buoyant Force
= 5450 Ibs — 4210 Ibs
= 1240 Ibs (excess ballast)

User Instructions for the Environment One Grinder Pump
General Information
Your home is served by a low pressure sewer system; the key element is an Environment One grinder pump.
The tank collects all solid materials and wastewater from the house. The solid materials are then ground to a
small size suitable for pumping as a slurry with the wastewater. The grinder pump generates sufficient pressure
to pump this slurry from your home to the wastewater treatment receiving line and/or disposal plant.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) this
device may not cause harmful interference; and 2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the
party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
Care and Use of your Grinder Pump
The Environment One grinder pump is capable of accepting and pumping a wide range of materials, and an
extensive grind test is required in order to obtain NSF approval. However, regulatory agencies advise that the
following items should not be introduced into any sewer, either directly or through a kitchen waste disposal unit:
Glass Seafood shells Diapers, socks, rags or cloth Syringes
Cotton swabs Personal/cleaning wipes & sponges Disposable toothbrushes Latex/vinyl items
Metal Plastic objects (toys, utensils, etc.) Kitty litter Dental floss
Aquarium gravel Sanitary napkins or tampons Cigarette butts
Caution: Kitchen garbage disposals do not keep grease/oil out of the plumbing system
In addition, you must never introduce into any sewer:
Explosives Strong chemicals Lubricating oil and/or grease
Flammable material Gasoline
Items introduced into the sewer system from your home can potentially impact the water environment. Proper
disposal of household wastes such as window cleaners, unused/expired pharmaceuticals, paint thinners, fats,
fruit labels, etc. is important. For more information, visit http://www.wef.org.
Periods of Disuse
If your home or building is left unoccupied for longer than a couple of weeks, perform the following procedure:
Purge the System. Run clean water into the unit until the pump activates. Immediately turn off the water and
allow the grinder pump to run until it shuts off automatically.
Duplex Units. Special attention must be taken to ensure that both pumps turn on when clean water is added to
the tank.
Caution: Do not disconnect power to the unit
Power Failure
Your grinder pump cannot dispose of wastewater without electrical power. If electrical power service is
interrupted, keep water usage to a minimum.
Pump Failure Alarm
Your Environment One grinder pump has been manufactured to produce an alarm signal (120 volt) in the
event of a high water level in the basin. The installer must see that the alarm signal provided is connected
to an audible and/or visual alarm in such a manner as to
provide adequate warning to the user that service is required.
During the interim prior to the arrival of an authorized service
technician, water usage must be limited to the reserve
capacity of the tank.
For service, please call your local distributor:
