The force main will increase pumping capacity for the Park Avenue Pump Station and alleviate flow to the Central Pump Station. Improvements to the Park Avenue Pump Station are also planned and will be covered under a separate permit. The proposed 8-inch force main alignment begins at the Park Avenue Pump Station on the north side of Park Avenue Extension approximately 500 linear feet west of the intersection of East Leonard Street(SR_1527).The force main will continue east along Park Avenue Extension towards the intersection of SR-1527, turn north along SR-1527 until the intersection of SR-1527 and Rob Gandy Boulevard (SR-1620), turn west along SR-1620, continue west along SR-1620 until the intersection of SR-1620 and River Road SE (NC-87), turn south along NC-87, pass through easement west of NC-87, and end in the NCDOT right-of-way of North Howe Street(NC-211)where it will tie-in to an existing 12-inch force main. We are requesting a Fast Track Sewer System Extension Permit to allow for construction of the Evaluation and Rehabilitation of Wastewater System force main. As part of this submittal, please find enclosed the following documents for the referenced permit modification: • One (1) original of the completed Fast Track Application(Form FTA 06-21) • One (1) color copy of a USGS topographic map depicting the project area and closest surface waters (Figure 1) • One(1)color copy of a street-level map showing the project area(Figure 2) • One (1) copy of the System-Wide Collection System Permit(WQC00137) • Check 93733 in the amount of$600.00,payable to NCDEQ 300 N.Third Street,Suite 301 Wilmington,NC 28401 Tel.910.702.4200 www.%vkdicksol-i.com ,Aviation • Water Resrnirces • Commwiity Development • Energy Mr.Benson June 27,2024 Page 2 Thank you for your attention to this project.
