POPLAR CREEK WWPS UPGRADE (Application 3)
309 E. Market St.
Smithfield, North Carolina 27577
JCPU Project # 23-043-S
March 2024

1.0 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The Whitley Heights Diversion project will abandon the Whitley Heights pump station and redirect it,
along with the incoming Olive Branch Pump Station (WQ0041093) to a downstream gravity sewer. This
will be accomplished with a new gravity sewer outfall and a short section of 10" forcemain. These
changes are outlined on the attached vicinity and aerial maps and make for a system that has less
maintenance by abandoning a pump station. The location of this project is at the intersection of Swift
Creek Rd (SR1501) and US HWY 70 BUS W as shown on the attached USGS Map. This permit includes
the removal of the Whitley Heights Pump Station and associated gravity sewer and flow from the Poplar
Creek WWPS Upgrade (WQ0017822MOD)
2.0 EXISTING SYSTEM
The Whitley Heights Pump Station is part of permit WQ0017822 Mod and currently serves the Olive
Branch Pump Station (WQ041093). This service was intended to be a temporary solution until
downstream improvements could come on line to redirect these facilities. The Whitley Heights Pump
Station pumps to the Poplar Creek Pump Station which then pumps toward the existing Central
Johnston County Regional Wastewater Facility. The County is constructing a new WWTF. In order to
redirect flow from the region to the new 210 WWTF, the County constructed the Reedy Branch WWPS
(WQ0042510) and the Buffalo Creek WWPS upgrade and FM (WQ0041628). The Buffalo WWPS and FM
Upgrade facilities have been installed and these proposed connections can be made.
3.0 PROPOSED ADDITIONS
There are no proposed additions with this permit. There is only the removal of a pump station and
associated gravity sewer and flow from the original permit.
4.0 ADDITIONAL NOTES
The added gravity sewer system will allow the Whitley Heights Pump Station to be abandoned. The 10"
force main from the Olive Branch WWPS will be redirected to flow into the new gravity sewer system.
The 10" force main from US 70 Bus to the station will be abandoned (a separate permit modification to
the Olive Branch permit (WQ0041093) will be submitted to cover these changes). The downstream
facilities at the Reedy Branch Pump Station (WQ0042510) and the 210 WWTF are still under
construction and will be complete before the proposed facilities are placed in service.
The attached FTA includes the existing forcemain, gravity sewer and associated flow that flows directly
to the Poplar Creek WWPS. Based on calculations, flows on the original permit are 80 GPD per bedroom
per day (see attached flow reduction letter) with 3.5 bedrooms per residential unit. With that we
determined that there are 53 lots associated with this permit.

Residential Flow Reduction Approval
Johnston County
Dear Mr. Broome.
On February 22, 2005, the Division of Water Quality received a flow reduction request for
residences in Johnston County. The letter requests an allowable flow rate of 80 GPD per residential
bedroom based on the evaluated data for three similar existing subdivisions.
The water use data provided between November 2003 and October 2004 with daily readings
taken during November 2004 was analyzed by central office and regional office staff with additional
information requested. Based upon this data and the County response to our additional information
requests, the Division hereby approves the use of 80 GPD per residential bedroom, with a minimum
of 160 gpd for one and two bedroom units in all applicable non -discharge permit applications.
Flow shall be incremented by 80/gpd for each bedroom above two., Reaardless of the adjusted
design daily wastewater flow rate at no time shall the wastewater flows exceed the effluent limits
defined in the NPDES permit for the treatment facl& or exceed the capacity of the sewers
downstream of any new sewer extension or service connections . A permit modification and fee is
required to apply this flow reduction to any existing permits where flows have been allocated.
If you have any questions or comments regarding this matter, please contact Marie Doklovic
at [phone] ext. 371. .

Good Morning, Tanvir! I hope you are doing well.
Please see attached revised flow tracking forms for Whitley Heights Diversion and Poplar Creek
WWPS. The other piece of information was the ARPA number number for this project. This is not an
ARPA funded project.
I hope this is the last of the information that was needed. Please feel free to reach out and I will get

Good Morning, Tanvir.
I just realized we still do not have a permit for Whitley Heights. We are still working through getting
some FTSE forms filled out and signed.
I hope to have the needed forms to you this week. I apologize for the delay.

Hi Marcos,
Send me updated documents addressing the following,
1. Please send me an updated FTA Page 2. Correct section VI. 6 as you submitted a flow reduction certificate.
As per the certificate, provide details on the Establishment Type, section V.7 of the FTA.
2. As per section IX.5 of the FTA, send me the 401/404 certification. As this is a new permit, every document
associated with this application is needed.
3. FTSE section I is incorrect.
