PROJECT DESCRIPTION:
Town of Beech Mountain
2018 Collection System Rehabilitation Project
Beech Mountain, North Carolina
E-SRP-W-17-0104
The project is located in the Town of Beech Mountain in Watauga County.

Jenny,
I apologize for the confusion, as I recognized this as I was preparing the transmittal. Benjie had already signed
the cover letter and he was out of the office, so I put the following on the transmittal for clarification:
The 63.2 LF of 10' gravity line listed on the cover letter was inadvertently included, as the 10" line will
be replaced in the same trench. All of the proposed 8" gravity lines are new alignments.
If you need a new cover letter, let us know and will get to you first thing tomorrow morning.

Good afternoon,
I am reviewing the application for the Beech Mountain Rehab project.The letter states that there is 10,518 linear feet of
8-inch gravity sewer and 63.2 linear feet of 10-inch gravity sewer. However,the 10-inch line is not listed on the
