Market St. Smithfield, North Carolina 27577 M&C Project # 00358-0144 March 2024 Prepared by: v MCKJMFERS �&CREED Diandra Hyman, PE McKim & Creed, Inc. 4300 Edwards Mill, Suite 200 Raleigh, NC 27612 P:919-233-8091 DESIGN NARRATIVE 1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION Johnston County Public Utilities owns and operates the Austin Pond Wastewater Pump Station (WWPS) located on St. Jiles Drive in Clayton, NC in the Austin Pond subdivision under existing Permit No. WQ0016432 Modification. This WWPS currently receives flow from the Winston Pointe subdivision WWPS as well as other developed areas. The Austin Pond WWPS is currently permitted with a firm capacity of 744 gallons per minute (gpm) and can convey wastewater through either of two (2) existing 8-inch force mains. In May 2022 the Winston Pointe WWPS was issued Permit No. WQ0021195 Modification which increased the pumping rate of the station from 320 gpm to 500 gpm due to ongoing development construction. This modifications project is proposed to increase the firm capacity of the Austin Pond WWPS to accommodate additional flows from the Winston Point WWPS. 2.0 EXISTING SYSTEM The Austin Pond WWPS consists of a single wet well and valve vault and currently receives flow from the Winston Pointe subdivision as well as other developed areas, including the Cornwallis WWPS and additional tributary flow. The current firm capacity of the WWPS is 744 gpm. Discharge flow from the Austin Pond WWPS can be sent to the Swift Creek WWPS owned by the County or to a discharge manhole located in downtown Clayton. 3.0 PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS The modifications to the existing Austin Pond WWPS propose the construction of a second wet well and valve vault including the addition of two (2) submersible pumps connected to and adjacent to the existing wet well, existing pumps, and valve vault which will remain in place and in operation. The additional connected wet well and pumps are proposed to provide an overall increase in the firm capacity of the Austin Pond WWPS to accommodate the additional incoming flow. The additional connected wet well also allows proposed construction in this project to take place while keeping the existing WWPS in service minimizing bypass pumping requirements. The two wet wells will be connected via an 8-inch overflow pipe and the existing Winston Pointe WWPS force main on site will be modified to allow discharge to both wet wells using plug valves. Each wet well is intended to have a designated outgoing force main for the County to utilize each of the discharge locations. In addition, the modifications include replacement of the existing influent manhole with a new 8-foot diameter influent manhole with channel grinder, two flow meter vaults with bypass, new generator, and electrical rack to accommodate the additional electrical load. The new standby power generator will be permanent to the Austin Pond WWPS and will be equipped with automatic activation and telemetry per 15A NCAC 02T.0305(h)(1)(B). The new wet well will be of the same size and depth as the existing wet well with duplicate submersible pumps, one primary and one back up pump. Each pump in the new wet well is rated at 400 gpm at 261 total feet of head. Because each wet well has a designated force main and discharge location, the pumps are not competing through a singular force main, and the rated flow of each pump may be added to obtain the increase in pumping capacity for the WWPS. These modifications will increase the firm capacity of the Austin Pond WWPS from 744 gpm to 1,144 gpm and provide additional redundance and resiliency at the station should it be needed. -USGS science for a changing world 78°37'30" 35°37': 39440( 35' 014 640 1 FI 35°30' 7o-s/ su Produced by the United States Geological Survey U.S. DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR U.S. GEOLOGICAL SURVEY North American Datum of 1983 (NAD83) World Geodetic System of 1984 (WGS84).
