RE: NCDOT Project R-5963D Suttles Road Realignment
Sewer System Extension Permit Modification (WQ0044474)
Dear WQS:
NCDOT has retained the services of Kimley-Horn to design and permit sanitary sewer on behalf of
the Town of Pittsboro. The proposed work includes relocations which are permitted by regulation, as
well as extension of gravity sewer and force main under permit modification to WO0044474, as
summarized below.
Permitted By Regulation
The existing 12-inch PVC force main along existing Suttles Rd (covered under permit WO0010602)
will be relocated, but will remain within the same right-of-way with no additional flows. Approximately
702-LF will be converted to gravity sanitary sewer.
Permit Modification for WQ0044474
The modification proposes to construct approximately 619 LF of 15-inch PVC gravity sewer, and 773
LF 12-inch ductile iron force main which will connect to a force main being installed by a previous
NCDOT project (R-5930A under permit WO0044474).
The proposed new facilities will serve a future pump station to be designed by others to the northeast
of this project. The pump station and force main connection to the force main being installed under
WO0044474 and this modification, as well as all proposed flows will be permitted by further
modification of this permit at a later date.
The original permitted length of 12-inch force main in WO0044474 was 2,633 LF. This modification
adds 773 LF of 12-inch force main, for a new total of 3,406 LF of we -inch force main.
No Added Flows
No flows will be added to the system at this time and both the Permitted by Regulation and Permit
Modification facilities will be received by existing sanitary sewers as shown on the attached map.
Enclosed are the following for your review:
• 15A NCAC 02T.0300 — Fast Track Sewer System Extension Form (1 copy)
• Application fee of $600
• USB drive with all permit requirements
• Aerial Image showing proposed relocations (1 copy)
• USGS Topographic Map (1 copy)
• Existing permit WO0044474 (1 copy)

It is our understanding that a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity is not necessary due to
the nature of the work and zero additional flow.
The Flow Tracking / Acceptance Form previously provided for permit WO0044474 is attached for
convenience.
