Cape Fear Public Utility Authority
Northern New Hanover Water and Sewer Project
Project Narrative
The proposed project includes the installation of approximately:
- 20,400 linear feet of 12-inch DR-18 C900 PVC dry sewer force main installed via
open-cut method
- 1,687 LF of 16-inch DR-18 C900 FPVC dry sewer force main installed via
horizontal directional drilling method
- 80 LF of 12" DR-18 C900 PVC dry sewer force main installed via bore and jack
method through 24" steel encasement pipe.
The force main will discharge into an existing manhole permitted under WQ0033139
which is tributary to Old Oakland Road Regional Pump Station (PS-155). PS-155 is
currently being upgraded under a separate project to expand the capacity of the station
to 1,216 GPM. Permit modification has been approved under a separate project and the
project is currently entering into the construction phase.
The proposed force main will serve future developments along the Holly Shelter Road
corridor. This application is to request approval for the installation of a dry 12-inch
sewer force main under a zero-flow permit allocation. Future wastewater flows that will
become tributary to the proposed force main will be permitted separately. The
timeframe for anticipated upstream flow is estimated to be in mid-2025.

RE: Cape Fear Public Utility Authority
Northern New Hanover County Water and Sewer Main Project i
Fast Track Sewer Permit Application
Dear Mr.Cocanower,
On behalf of Cape Fear Public Utility Authority, we are pleased to submit this
Official Response Letter upon reviewing the NCDEQ comments provided
07/02/2024.Please find responses in italics as follows:
1. Written justification for a dry line extension(this may be covered in the
narrative already,but it needs to be detailed as to exactly why the sewer
is being built preliminarily).
The proposed project is a County funded project. The intent of this project is to
provide water and sewer service to currently unserved areas in the northern
portion of the County. There are currently developments planned for
construction along Holly Shelter Road which will require sewer utility service
including an industrial park which is planned to connect to the proposed force
main shortly after completion and activation of the proposed force main. The area
along Holly Shelter Road is poised for residential developinerlt as well, which has
been detailed in a master planning evaluation that was conducted to determine
appropriate pipeline sizes within the northern New Hanover County area. This
planning docuinent was developed based on County Planning Departnient staff
insight and master planning docunients to determine the projected wastewater
flows that Lire anticipated along Holly Shelter Road.
243 North Front Street
Wilmington, NC 28401 2. Information regarding when the extension/permit mod to incorporate
flow is expected to be made,including what the expected design flow
will be.

The extension1pernnit niodification is anticipated to be made within sit (6)
months after the nrew pipeline is installed. The anticipated nnax bitildout
wastewater flow of the industrial park is 650,000 GPD.
3. Details as to how the permittee will ensure that no one ties onto this line
without a permit as well as how it will be valved off from the system to
prevent any introduction of wastewater.
The permittee, Cape Fear Public Utility Authority(CFPUA),owirs and operates l
the wastewater system in northern New Hanover Connnty and is responsible for f
approving plans and signninrg off onr permits to then be approved by NCDEQ.
Custonners will not be pernritted to tie into the dry sewer lime without CFPLIA
approval and NCDEQ permit approval,per their standard contract documents
and technical specifications.
The proposed sewer force main includes several valves along they alignment. The
valve closest to the discharge gravity sewer nnanhole will be closed to prevent ally
introduction of wastewater to the systenn [until such tinne that a pernnit
extension/nnodification has been approved.
4. A copy of the design plans showing the dry line and its relationship to J
any other sewers,as well as any valves/plugs per the comment above.
See attached for the design plans sh07l'iHg the dry line and its relationship to any
other savers as well as the proposed values along the aligntnent.
Please let me know if you have questions or would like to discuss.Thanks for
your assistance with this project.
Sincerely,
7McKIM&CREED,INC.
