SEWER SYSTEM NARRATIVE
CFPUA PUMP STATION 26 AND FORCE MAIN INSTALLATION
This submittal is for the upgrade of the existing Cape Fear Public Utility Authority
(CFPUA) Pump Station 26 and the installation of new forcemains from pump station.
Pump Station 26 is owned and operated by the CFPUA.
Pump Station 26
Pump Station 26 is located on Appleton Way within the Echo Farms development.
Based on provided as -built plans, the pump station consists of an 8-foot diameter wet
well, with Gorman Rupp suction lift pumps. The existing pumps with electrical and
controls are within a brick / block structure. Based on CFPUA drawdown testing results
of 10-22-15, the existing 10 HP Gorman Rupp pump pumped at an average rate of 135
GPM at 70 TDH. The existing pumps are 3" pumps, which do not meet current NC
DEQ Minimum Design Criteria. Based on the CFPUA provided design basis flow for
Pump Station 26, plus the new development flow, the existing 10 HP pumps and the
existing 4" forcemain will not handle the proposed flow. Therefore, the pump station
and forcemain will be required to be upgraded. The existing Gorman Rupp suction lift
motors / pumps of Pump Station 26 will be upgraded to 15 HP 4" pumps and the
forcemain will be required to be upsized to a be 6" in diameter. The pump station will
be designed to pump at 300 GPM at 63' of total dynamic head.
The new forcemain for Pump Station 26 to the Barnards Creek gravity sewer outfall will
be run within the Appleton Way right-of-way from the station to the Carolina Beach
Road right-of-way. From there, it will parallel the Carolina Beach right-of-way to an
existing SSMH near the Moose Lodge Property.
Variances Required
1. Pump Station 26 is existing and to our knowledge hasn't been flooded, even
during recent hurricane and extreme rain events. See attached e-mail from Gary
McSmith of the CFPUA. The pump station was original constructed around 1973
or 1974. The pump station upgrade project requires larger pumps and controls
to be updated within the existing block / brick veneer building. The pump Station
also gets a new generator. The pump station force main gets upsized from 4" to
6". Per MDC, the pump station FFE and generator are required to be 2' above
100-yr flood elevation. The finished floor elevation of the existing building is 9.18
and the generator pad is approximately 9.1. The based flood elevation per firm
maps by surveyor for this area is BFE of 9. The existing pump station and
generator does not meet this MDC requirement. The CFPUA has stated that
they are not aware of the pump station flooding during the large rain events and
storms. See attached email from Gary McSmith of the CFPUA. Pump Station
26 will require a variance from the requirement for pump station FFE and
generator to be 2' above the determined 100-year flood elevation.
2. The existing Pump Station 26 is surrounded by wetlands on three (3) sides and
wetlands are within 50' of wetlands. Therefore, the existing pump station does
not meet the MDC separation requirements. Pump Station 26 will require a
variance due to its existing proximity to the existing wetlands.

PS 26 and 27 flooding history report
Hi John,
In regards to your inquiry into the history of flooding at the subject pump stations where you are designing a retrofit
solution for pending development:
CFPUA staff is not aware of any instance where flooding reached the slab of either building since the formation of our
organization in 2008, nor are long time former City of Wilmington employees aware of this condition ever existing even
during major storm events.
As discussed, it is our policy during any retrofit to raise electrical components, as appropriate by regulations.
In the case of the slab elevations at these location, our staff has never seen or observed any indications of them flooding
from storms or high water in adjacent creeks.
I think that it is highly likely that the current slab elevations are sufficient, given that this is an existing station and not an
area prone to flooding.
Best Regards,
Gary McSmith, P.E.

Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (WQCS00012)
New Hanover County
Dear Mr. Tribett:
The Division of Water Resources (Division) has reviewed the submitted variance request received on,
August 14, 2018 with additional information received September 28, 2018 for the upgrades to Pump
Station 26; and the variance request received November 1,, 2018 for the upgrades to Pump Station 27.
The Division will grant the variance requests for the upgrades of Pump Station 26 and Pump Station 27, in
accordance with the provisions for alternative design under 15A NCAC 02T.0105(n):
1. Pursuant to the variance, requests received on August 14,, 2018 with additional information
received September 28.,2018 for Pump Station 26 and on November 1, 2018 for Pump Station 27.,
both from John S. Tunstall, P.E. on behalf of the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority, a variance is
granted for the -construction and operation of the upgrades to both Pump Station 26 and Pump
Station 21 located within 50-feet of wetlands, as indicated on the provided plans and
supplementary documentation.
a. Per the provided plans and supplementary documentation, the proposed upgrades shall
include the following items:
i Watertight pipe connections consisting of a flexible watertight rubber boot or
compression type connector.
ii. Watertight hatches on the existing wet wells.
2. An alternative design is approved for the existing pump station finished floor elevations and
replacement generator pads for both Pump Station 26 and Pump Station 27, located less than
2-feet above the 100-year flood, in accordance with the provided plans and supplementary
information.
Regardless of the variance approval, in the event that the wastewater collection facilities fail to perform
satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective
action I
including those as may be required by this Division,, such as the construction of additional or
replacement facilities.
