I Steve Ward, HRW Director certify to the best of my knowledge that the addition of
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

PLANNING ASSESSMENT ADDENDUM (PAA)
Submit a planning assessment addendum for each pump station listed in Section Il where Available Capacity is < 0.
Pump Station (Name or Number):
Given that:
a. The proportion and amount of Obligated, Not Yet Tributary Daily Flow (C) accounts for
42.47 % and 2.446 MGD of the Available Capacity (E) in Pump Station
SLS-120 ; and that
b. The rate of activation of this obligated, not yet tributary capacity is currently approximately
0.3 MGD per year; and that
c. A funded Capital Project that will provide the required planned capacity, namely
TBD is in design or under construction with
planned completion in. ; and/or
d. The following applies:
HRW has received earmarked funding for a regional project to divert some flow from
SLS-120 to a direct manifold to the SLS-120 forcemain. The project is planned for the
2025-2026 fiscal
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.
I understand that this does not relieve the collection system owner from complying with G.S. 143-
215.67(a) which prohibits the introduction of any waste in excess of the capacity of the waste disposal
system.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Richard Simpson
FROM: Christopher Petree, PE, DBIA
DATE: 05/07/2024
RE: Hidden Valley Sewer System Extension Additional Information Request
Dear Mr. Simpson,
We received comments via email on April 10, 2024 for the Hidden Valley Pump Station Upgrade.
Below are our responses:
1. Is this an ARPA funded project? If so, please include the DWI assigned ARPA project
number in your response.
Response: No this is not an ARPA funded project.
2. Section VITA. list 21,606 LF of 8" gravity sewer and the existing permit has 21,504
LF. Please confirm.
Response: This is correct. The site has been constructed and we have provided as -built
numbers. The previous permit lengths would have been based on construction drawings.
3. Section IX.3. notes no river basin however all projects are in a river basin and have
some sort of setbacks. Please correct.
Response: This project is in the Cape Fear River Basin. Page 4 of the FTA is attached
reflecting this addition.
4. Section IX.5 indicates the proposed project does not need a 404/401
authorization. Please verify why you would not need 404/401 authorization.
Response: There are no delineated wetlands within the limits of disturbance. There is a stream
crossing the new gravity sewer line and the impacts are as follows: 20.85 linear feet, 162.69
square feet, and 0.0037 acres. Because the stream impact is less than 0.02 acres, we have
assumed automatic coverage of NWP 58 and associated 401 General Certification. A detail is
provided in the plans for the pump -around system (if -required) to be utilized during construction
to ensure continuous flow, and the area restored to pre -construction contours with the natural
streambed material.
5. You provided two FTSE 10-23 forms and the North Harnett Regional WWTP is maxed
out. Please provide more details explaining the situation for clarification.
Response: Two FTSE forms are provided because part of the downstream sewer system is
owned by Harnett Regional Water and part of the system is owned by the Town of Fuquay-

Fast Track Sewer Extension Application — Hidden Valley Pump Station Upgrades
Mrs. Manuel,
i?all�� l�?c�;,o« t r ic:-
Timmons Group is pleased to submit the following Fast Track Sewer Extension Application on behalf of the Town of
Fuquay-Varina. This application is being submitted to request expansion of the Hidden Valley pump station. The
project includes the replacement of the existing two (2) pumps with two (2) Sulzer XFP 100J-CH1 submersible
pumps. The new proposed pumping capacity is 540 GPM at 171' TDH with one pump pumping and one pump for
redundancy.
The sewer upgrades are in support of the existing Carolina Gardens pump station that is proposed to be taken offline
so the flow will be re-routed to discharge into the existing Hidden Valley sewer system via a new proposed gravity
line, the Truelove Property and High Ridge Property each proposed to discharge into the existing Hidden Valley
pump station through the Hidden Valley gravity sewer system, and the new Saunders Farm pump station east of NC
Hwy 55 proposed to manifold into the existing 10-inch Hidden Valley force main. The flows generated from each of
these projects will be permitted separately. The High Ridge Property began development in 2022 and the Truelove
Property began development in 2023.
All existing pump station structures will be reused. The existing generator will be replaced with a new generator
capable of supporting the new proposed pumps. The pump station will be equipped with VFDS to allow variable
pump rates as new developments are added onto the station. The existing grinder in the existing grinder manhole will
be replaced with a new grinder. Approximately 85 linear feet of 16" PVC C900 gravity sewer pipe and one grinder
manhole will be added. No force main additions or modifications are included in this application.
This permit application was previously submitted but was returned as incomplete due to design changes. In the
previous submittal we received comments from J. Chris Smith regarding the previously permitted flow and previously
permitted gravity sewer lines. Over the phone, Chris informed us to include the previously permitted flow in the table
that summarizes the wastewater generated by the project in section VI. Via email, Chris informed us to include both
previously permitted line lengths and new requests in the table of gravity sewer to be permitted in section VI (email
will be provided with application). We also included the previously permitted force main in section VIII to remain
consistent.
We look forward to hearing from you regarding this review. If you have any questions or need any additional
information, please don't hesitate to contact me at 919.532.3234 or chris.oetreedtimmons.com at your convenience.
Sincerely,

Subject: RE: [External] FW: Hidden Valley Sewer System Extension Additional Information Request
Importance: High
Good afternoon, Ashley,
The FTA 10-23 Section IX 4. states: "Is the project located in a river basin subject to any State buffer rules?"
The question should have "...riparian buffer rules?" but it does not.
Technically, the question is not asking what it is intending. We have bounced this around and nobody likes this question.
Thus, any river basin will most likely have setback/buffer requirements with or without the riparian definition. Example,

Hello Richard,
Thank you for these comments. I just want to verify one thing before responding:

I have gotten mixed responses about your comment 43 regarding Section IX.3. on the application.
3 - Section IX.3. notes no river basin however all projects are in a river basin and have some sort of setbacks.
Please correct.
It was my understanding that this was in reference to the riparian buffer rules applying to the following river basins:
Neuse, Tar -Pamlico, Jordan, Randleman, Catawba, and Goose Creek. Our Project is in the Cape Fear River basin and
is therefore not subject to State Buffer rules that I know of. If I'm wrong, totally fine, I just want to verify because I
have a couple of applications in right now and want to make sure I have it right moving forward on all of my
applications.
Thank you!!
