Laurel Oaks Phase 2 Proiect Narrative
Smith
ENGINEERING, LLC
This is a request Sewer permit for the Phase 2 development in the Laurel Oaks Subdivision. In
addition, the City of Sanford is adopting the sewer flows per Session law 2023-137.
Permitting efforts of the Phase 2 development consists of 119 three bedroom Single Family Residential
homes on approximately 30 acres. The development is part of an approved master plan that includes
622 total units. Lots of Phase 2 connect to new proposed piping this application as well as existing the
Phase 1 Gravity Sewer Main Outfall that flows by to the Gaster's Creek Pump Station. Phase consists
of 1,193.7 ft of new 8-inch SDR-26 with 5 new connecting Sewer manholes.
The proposed project will meet all of DWR' s minimum design criteria for sanitary sewer extensions.
The design flow rate for this project is calculated at 29,535 GPD based on NCAC 2T Rules for
wastewater flow rates as revised per Session Law 2023-137 — Changes to Wastewater Design Flow
Rates in 15A NCAC 02T .0114(b) and the anticipated flow for the aforementioned homes. The
proposed sanitary sewer line sizes are more than adequate to convey the design flow rates. Additional
future sewer services are proposed to be installed along the route but will not be placed into service
until lots are permitted by the City of Sanford and NCDEQ. Please find attached the following
information in support of the application:
• Fast Track Sewer System Extension Application (FTA 10-23)
• Flow Tracking/ Acceptance Form for Sewer Extension Applications (FTSE 10-23)
• USGS Map
• Aerial Map
• Boundary Map
• $600 Check for payment of Application Fee
