SUBJECT: Fast Track Sewer Application
Leesville Road Assemblage Pump Station
Leesville Road is a proposed 344-unit townhome development located on Leesville
Road in Durham, North Carolina.This application is for the installation of a pump
station and 11,300 feet of new force main to serve the development. The collection
system permit issued by the City of Durham accounts for the flow from this
development; the enclosed application for the pump station and force main
therefore requests zero flow. The following items have been included with the
application package:
• 1 Cover Letter
• 1 Original FTA
• 1 Copy of FTA
1 Check for$600.00
• 1 Copy of USGS Map
• 1 Copy of Aerial Location Map

Subject: Leesville Road Assemblage Pump Station and Force Main—Additional Information Request
Hello Donald and John,
After reviewing the Fast Track Sewer System Extension Application for the Leesville Road
Assemblage Pump Station and Force Main project, additional information is required in order to
further process the application. Please provide the following information by May 9, 2024, and note
that the requested information must be submitted within 30 days of this request, or the applicant
will be required to submit a new application and application fee in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T
.0107.
1. Is this an ARPA funded project? If so, please include the DWI assigned ARPA project number in
your response. This is not an ARPA funded project.
2. According to Section V.2. of the FTA, the downstream gravity sewer diameter is 12-inches.

Please provide the downstream sewer permit number associated with this 12-inch gravity
sewer. Downstream 12-inch gravity sewer has been permitted the City of Durham. Permit
Number 5-001299. Issuance date: 7/12/2023.
3. According to Section V1.8., this is a zero flow project. Please provide the following
information, which can be included in the narrative. City of Durham has issued a zero flow
permit for the 344-unit townhome development. They will not issue the permit allocating the
flow until the Pump Station and Force Main have been permitted. Once permit for the pump
station and force main are approved, a permit modification will be submitted to the City of
Durham to allocate the flow. A revised page 2 of the FTA has been attached to this email to
clarify that the flow has already been allocated to a gravity main permitted by the City of
Durham.
a. Detailed written justification for a dry line extension as to why the infrastructure
cannot wait to be built until closer to when it's actually needed or until closer to when
the future flow will be permitted (in 9 months).
b. Information regarding when the extension/permit mod to incorporate flow is expected
to be made, including what the expected design flow will be so we can verify that it is
sized correctly.
c. Details as to how the permittee will ensure that no one ties onto this line without a
permit, as well as how it will be valved off from the system to prevent any introduction
of wastewater.
cl. A digital copy of the design plans showing the dry line and its relationship to any other
sewers, as well as any valves/plugs per the comment above.
4. According to our records,there appears to be streams/wetlands along the western, northern,
and eastern sides of the project area. Does this project have any stream/wetland crossings or
other stream and/or wetland impacts? If so, what are the impacts and are they temporary or
permanent? The project does require 401/404 authorization for temporary impacts. The
wrong box was checked on the application by mistake. A corrected page 4 of the FTA is
attached to this email showing that 401/404 authorization is required. Both 401 and 404
Authorizations have already been obtained. The 401 Authorization has been issued as DWR#
20221521 (under certification number WQC005480). The 404 Authorization has been issued
as Action ID Number SAW-2019-02435 (under Nationwide Permit 58).
a. According to Section IX.S.,401/404 authorization is not needed for this project. Please
provide an explanation indicating why a separation requirement is not applicable to the
project since there are streams and/or wetlands along the western, northern, and
eastern sides of the project area.
5. According to Section X. of the FTA,there are two professional engineers associated with this
project. Please provide the contact information for Matthew Jones including license number,
firm, mailing address, phone number, and email address. The additional contact information
is:
a. Matthew Jones, PE
b. NC PE#039170
c. Firm: Qunity, PA

d. Firm NCBELS#: C-0676
e. Mailing Address: 16 Consultant Place, Suite 201, Durham. NC 27707
f. Phone Number: 919-490-4990
g. Email: mjones(@qunity.com
6. According to the topo and aerial maps, the proposed force main flows to a "discharge
manhole". Please provide additional details regarding this item. Is this a gravity sewer or
force main connection? What is the permit number associated with this connection point?
The "discharge manhole" shown on the maps represented the upstream manhole of the
downstream gravity receiving sewer. This gravity sewer has been permitted by the city of
Durham under permit number S-001299. The maps have been updated to show the
approximate location of the gravity sewer as well as the permit number to make it clear that
