SECTION VI WASTEWATER SYSTEM IMPROVEMENTS
As with the water system, the Mars Hill wastewater system requires improvements to
meet existing and future demands. This section provides a discussion of the necessary
improvements, along with costs associated with the improvements. Various
improvement alternatives are presented when applicable. Improvements to the Mars Hill
wastewater system are shown in the figure following this section.
TREATMENT
As stated earlier, the Mars Hill Wastewater Treatment Plant is a package extended
aeration plant that currently treats on average approximately 0.165 mgd of wastewater.
The following figure compares the projected wastewater flows with the existing capacity
of the plant. Based on this figure, additional treatment capacity will not be needed in the
near future.

COLLECTION
There are several improvements to the Town of Mars Hill wastewater collection system
that are necessary. The following section identifies these improvements and provides
project costs for each. The estimated costs include design, construction and legal fees as
well as construction contingencies.
Project S-1 (Pump Station Upgrades):
The existing Woodhaven IA and 113 Pump Stations are each in need of new
electrical controls, emergency generators, hatches, pump rails, and discharge
piping. This project should be considered urgent and constructed within the next
year or two. The estimated present worth cost of this project is approximately
$150,000.00.
Project S-2 (1-26 and State Highway 213):
A pump station is needed to provide sanitary sewer service to the I-26 and State
Highway 213 interchange. This pump station will serve the area immediately
around the interchange and transfer flow to the existing Carl Eller Road Pump
Station west of 1-26. The pump station will also be designed to be upgradeable to
handle flows from future projects to the south (S-3) and north (S-4). This project
would consist of the installation of a 10 hp duplex submersible pump station,
approximately 1,100 linear feet of 8 -inch PVC sanitary sewer, 5 manholes, and
2,500 linear feet of 8 -inch ductile iron force main. The estimated cost of this
project is approximately $877,450.00.
Annual O&M costs associated with the constructed sanitary sewer and force main
are estimated at $1.00 per foot. There are a total of approximately 1,100 linear
feet of 8 -inch PVC sanitary sewer and 2,500 linear feet of 8 -inch ductile iron
force main on this project, for an estimated annual cost of $3,600.00. Project S-2
also has a pump station equipped with duplex 10 hp pumps, each capable of
pumping approximately 250 gpm. Assuming a typical demand of 80,000 gallons
Water and Sewer Master Plan

Town of Mars Hill
April 2009

per day (gpd), one pump would theoretically run for 5.5 hours per day for 365
days a year, for a total annual electricity usage of 15.060 kW -hr. Assuming an
electricity charge rate of $0.07 per kW -hr. the total cost of electricity is $1,060.00
per year. There is also an expected annual pump maintenance cost of $500.00 per
pump. Present worth calculations are based on 20 years, at a discount rate of
2.9%(http://wAvw.vahiteliouse.2ov/omb'circulars/aO94/a94 appx-c html). The
20 -year present worth cost of the annual O&M costs for Project S-2 is
$85,000.00, resulting in a total 20 -year present worth of $962,450.00.
Project S-3 (SR 1605):
This project would provide sanitary sewer service to an area along SR 1605 that
parallels 1-26 south of the State Highway 213 interchange. It would include a
PUMP station to transfer flow north to the S-2 pump station installed near the 1-26
and State Highway 213 interchange. This project would consist of the installation
of a 25 hp duplex submersible pump station, approximately 2,800 linear feet of 8 -
inch PVC sanitary sewer, 12 manholes, and 2,900 linear feet of 8 -inch ductile iron
force main. The estimated cost of this project is approximately $1,388,750.00.
Annual O&M costs associated with the constructed sanitary sewer and force main
are estimated at $1.00 per foot. There are a total of approximately 2,800 linear
feet of 8 -inch PVC sanitary sewer and 2,900 linear feet of 8 -inch ductile iron
force main on this project, for an estimated annual cost of $5,700.00. Project S-3
also has a pump station equipped with duplex 25 hp pumps, each capable of
pumping approximately 250 gpm. Assuming a typical demand of 64,000 gpd,
one pump would theoretically run for 4.5 hours per day for 365 days a year, for a
total annual electricity usage of 30,800 kW -hr. Assuming an electricity charge
rate of $0.07 per kW -hr, the total cost of electricity is $2,200.00 per year. There
is also an expected annual pump maintenance cost of $500.00 per pump. Present
worth calculations are based on 20 years, at a discount rate of 2.9%
(http:/hvww.whitehouse.eov/omb/circulars/aO94/a94 appx-c html). The 20 -year
Water and Sewer Master Plan
McGill Associates, P.A. Page 28 of 38
Town of Mars Hill
April 2009

present worth cost of the annual O&M costs for Project S-3 is $133.700.00.
resulting in a total 20 -year present worth of $].522.450.00.
Project S-4 (SR 1549 and Frontage Road):
This project would serve the areas along SR 1549 (Calvin Edney Road) and
Frontage Road paralleling 1-26. A gravity sewer line extending from the sewer
constructed along SR 1549 as part of Project S-2 would provide sanitary service
to an area for future development. The gravity sewer would be extended to the
existing Calvin Edney Road Pump Station; allowing it to be abandoned. The
pump station installed at the 1-26 and State Highway 213 interchange as part of
Project S-2 would need to be upgraded to handle flows from Project S-4. The
Carl Eller Road Pump Station would have sufficient capacity for immediate flows
from this expanded tributary area; but as flows to the proposed S-2 pump station
increase over the years, the Carl Eller Road Pump Station may require some
upgrades. These pump station improvements would include higher capacity
pumps, as well as possibly new controls and a standby generator. Costs
associated with potential upgrades to the Project S-2 pump station and the Carl
Eller Road Pump Station are included in the cost estimate for this project. This
project would consist of approximately 13,700 linear feet of 8 -inch PVC sanitary
sewer and 55 manholes, as well as the afore -mentioned upgrades to the two (2)
pump stations. The estimated cost of this project is approximately $3,105,800.00.
Annual O&M costs associated with the constructed sanitary sewer and force main
are estimated at $1.00 per foot. There is approximately 13,700 linear feet of 8 -
inch PVC sanitary sewer on this project, for an estimated annual cost of
$13,700.00. Project S-4 also includes the upgrade of two (2) pump stations, each
equipped with duplex 40 hp pumps capable of pumping approximately 850 gpm.
Assuming a typical demand of 280,000 gpd, one pump would theoretically run for
5.5 hours per day at each pump station for 365 days a year, for a total annual
electricity usage of 120,500 kW -hr. Assuming an electricity charge rate of $0.07
per kW -hr, the total cost of electricity is $8,500.00 per year. There is also an
Water and Sewer Master Plan Town of Mars Hill

expected annual pump maintenance cost of $500.00 per pump. Present worth
calculations are based on 20 years, at a discount rate of 2.9%
(htto:/hvww.whitehouse.eov/omb/circulars/a094/a94 apax-c html). The 20 -year
present worth cost of the annual O&M costs for Project S-4 is $363,400.00,
resulting in a total 20 -year present worth of $3,469,200.00.
Project S-5 (State Highway 213):
This project would provide sanitary sewer service to an area along State Highway
213 west of the Town of Mars Hill. The project would include a pump station
that would transfer flow to the existing gravity sewer which enters the Mars Hill
Wastewater Treatment Plant. This project would consist of the installation of a 20
hp duplex submersible pump station, approximately 3,600 linear feet of 8 -inch
PVC sanitary sewer, 15 manholes, and 2,100 linear feet of 8 -inch ductile iron
force main. The estimated cost of this project is approximately $1,437,800.00.
Annual O&M costs associated with the constructed sanitary sewer and force main
are estimated at $1.00 per foot. There are a total of approximately 3,600 linear
feet of 8 -inch PVC sanitary sewer and 2,100 linear feet of 8 -inch ductile iron
force main on this project, for an estimated annual cost of $5,700.00. Project S-5
also has a pump station equipped with duplex 20 hp pumps each capable of
pumping approximately 150 gpm. Assuming a typical demand of 62,000 gpd,
one pump would theoretically run for 7 hours per day for 365 days a year, for a
total annual electricity usage of 38,400 kW -hr. Assuming an electricity charge
rate of $0.07 per kW -hr, the total cost of electricity is $2,700.00 per year. There
is also an expected annual pump maintenance cost of $500.00 per pump. Present
worth calculations are based on 20 years, at a discount rate of 2.9%
(http://www.whitehouse-gov/omb/circulars/aO94/a94 apex -c htmh. The 20 -year
present worth cost of the annual O&M costs for Project S-5 is $141,200.00,
resulting in a total 20 -year present worth of $1,579,000.00.
The projects described above address problems in the existing Mars Hill sanitary sewer

SECTION VII IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE
A major priority with regard to water and sewer projects for the Town of Mars Hill
should be to address operational concerns in the existing system, which includes the
replacement of water and sewer components which have exceeded their useful lives. As
stated earlier, the proximity of 1-26 is expected to catalyze growth in the Mars Hill area.
Growth should increase in areas with convenient access to the interstate. Therefore,
another priority for the Town of Mars Hill should be to ensure that areas around the I-26
interchanges as well as other potential growth areas have access to water and wastewater
service.
This section offers a general schedule for implementation of the various improvements to
the Mars Hill water distribution and sanitary sewer systems. Projects were grouped into
three (3) categories. Category One includes projects required to improve the operation of
the existing water and sewer systems. Category Two includes projects that are not
needed immediately, but are expected to be needed in the near future, as the systems
grow. Category Three consists primarily of projects needed to expand the existing water
and sewer service areas. Implementation of Category One projects is recommended in
years 0 through 6. Implementation of Category Two projects should occur in years 7
through 12, and implementation of Category Three projects is recommended in years 13
through 20.
CATEGORY ONE
The Mars Hill water system is in relatively good shape. The distribution system is
adequate, and the treatment plant is capable of handling system demands well into the
future. The Town's water supply is adequate except under severe drought conditions. As
stated earlier, the demand for the system may exceed the available supply in the Laurel
Creek watershed during times of drought. The Town is addressing this issue by initiating
the construction of the water line interconnection to the Town of Weaverville's water
distribution system.
Water and Sewer Master Plan
McGill Associates, P.A. Page 32 of 38
Town of Mars Hill
April 2009

The existing water transmission line from the Laurel Creek Water Treatment Plant
continues to present maintenance problems with frequent main breaks. The replacement
of this line is a large endeavor, and is therefore spilt into two (2) distinct projects. Both
of these projects should be constructed under Category One. Project W-1 is
recommended to be installed first, followed by W-2.
Improvements to the Mars Hill sanitary sewer system are also needed. The first project,
S-1, should be constructed in the near future to address deficiencies at two (2) of the
Town's existing pump stations. Project S-2 is recommended next in order to provide
sanitary sewer service to the I-26 and State Highway 213 interchange.
Implementation of the Category One projects described above will enable the Town of
Mars Hill to greatly improve their existing water and wastewater systems.
CATEGORY TWO
Water system improvements projects listed in Category Two are W-3, W-4, W-5, W-6,
and W-7. These projects have the primary purpose of strengthening the distribution
system as well extending water service to various areas.
CATEGORY THREE
Category Three consists of projects primarily intended to extend water and wastewater
services. Water projects include W-8, W-9, W-10, and W-11, and sewer projects include
S-3, S-4, and S-5. Future growth patterns should dictate the order in which these projects
are implemented.

SECTION VIII SUMMARY
In the past, growth in and around the Mars Hill area has been relatively slow. Future
growth for the area, however, is expected to occur more rapidly than in the past, primarily
due to the proximity of Interstate 26 to Mars Hill. The Interstate 26 interchanges near
Mars Hill are expected to catalyze commercial growth and help promote the area as
attractive for residential and industrial growth.
In preparation for the anticipated growth and as part of maintaining and upgrading their
existing water and sewer systems, the Town of Mars Hill will need to construct various
improvement projects. This report has described water and wastewater improvement
projects necessary for the Town of Mars Hill to provide water and sewer service to
existing and future customers. Estimates of costs for the various projects, as well as an
implementation schedule, were provided. Each project was placed in one of three
categories, according to when the project should be implemented. The following table
summarizes the costs associated with each category.

COMMUNICATION, ASSESSMENT,
and
SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURE
PURPOSE:
This plan is to be implemented in the event of a Sanitary Sewer Overflow, (SSO)
or spill within the Collection System. The plan was developed to insure the key personnel
response to ever spill event within sixty (60) minutes of a reported event.
INITIAL RESPONSE:
Spills reported to or detected by collection system personnel require immediate
attention. The Collection System ORC or his appointed Back-up Operator will make the
preliminary assessment of the spill within 15 minutes after receiving report. That
assessment includes visiting the spill site. The ORC or Back-up will determine the
appropriate response and request assistance from key personnel as necessary. The
attached call back list will be maintained current and be ranked according to essential
response including, i.e. equipment operators. Local contractor may be employed as
deemed necessary.
Key personnel will, upon assessing the site, continue to document the event and
determine the severity, magnitude, and potential environmental impact. Ever effort

should be made to minimise the spill event consistent with the containment and source
control section of this plan. The safety of the response dent should in no way be
compromised.
Key personnel should implement recovery actions to eliminate the cause of
obstruction and/or system failure as outlined in this plan.
POST SPILL RESPONSE, (REPORTING):
After containment is achieved, the Division of Water Quality, (DWQ) must be
contacted as soon as possible but, in no case later than 24 hours after initial detection if;
1) The spill has reached surface waters, "Waters of the State" or
2) The spill exceeds one thousand gallons, (1,000 gals.)
Every small spill must be logged on site including time, date, approximate
volume, name of respondent.
Spills that are fully contained and removed quickly and are less than one thousand
gallons are not required to be reported to DWQ. However, a fill spill report form will be
filled out and kept on file.

SOURCE CONTROL AND CONTAINMENT
PROCEDURE
Depending on the nature of the spill or overflow, the initial assessment
should indicate the priority of source control and/or containment.
1) When the source can be isolated through valves, plugs or other
methods, the flow should be discontinued immediately or reduced
to the least possible volume.
2) If the pumps on the location are not operating the control panel
should be checked for;
a. Power ON?
b. Check breaker.
C. Breaker closed, check thermal overloads. (External button).
d. Overload good, Check fuses, if you are trained to do so.
e. Is pump straining? (Clogged with debris?)
f. Do you smell a burnt motor?( contact vendor from list)
g. Call for Electrician. (From attached list.)
3) Containment methods will typically include;
a. Sand or dirt dikes and dams. (Small streams, creeks.)
b. Holes or pits. (To prevent run off to surface waters.)
If the spill event resulted from an area wide power outage you should contact
Power Company and identify your site as critical. You must have account number
for location.
If the problem is mechanical in nature, retrieve parts from inventory and make
repairs. Re -order parts as they are used!

If the problem results from sewer blockage call for jet rodding machine. (In house
or contractor from list??)
SPILL OCCURRING ON:
MAJOR INTERCEPTOR RIGHT OF WAY
1. Put up warning tape "DO NOT ENTER "around
SSO site to restrict access.
2. In open areas lime, remove debris and lime site
rotor -till if needed. Re -seed and mulch with
straw.
3. In areas were there is under growth and small
trees, flush area with potable water until no
waste remains. Wait twelve to twenty four hours
then time the area. Be certain that lime does not
flush to receiving stream.
NOTE: DO NOT LIME IF RAIN IS FORECASTED.
IN CITIZEN'S YARD
1. Till entire area if possible. Apply lime and follow
with seed and straw.
2. If waste/debris not visible apply lime and 2
inches of top soil and mix thoroughly. Apply lime
lightly, seed and mulch.
ON ASPHALT OR CONCRETE

1. Set up containment at or near the storm drainage
system. Do not let the spill enter the storm drain
system.
2. Put up Black or Red "DO NOT ENTER "tape
around the SSO area.
3. Spread lime on spillage and sand or other material
to a depth of one inch. Let this material absorb for
one hour, then sweep up. Dispose of debris
appropriately. If spill is still evident repeat
application.
4. After removing the contaminated material, wash
down area with high pressure water and bleach.
5. Pump clean up materials and wash water into
sanitary sewer.
IN A CREEK OR STREAM
1. Take conductivity readings of the creek upstream and
downstream to determine were temporary dam should be
