Re: Sewer System Improvements
American Emergency Vehicles
Ashe County
Please find enclosed a signed application form for a Nationwide Permit and a
set of four (4) drawings on 81/2" x 11" sheets for a crossing of Naked Creek with a 3"
sewer force main for the above referenced project.. This project is being proposed by
Ashe County in order to provide sewer service to a new industry building a plant in the
county.
The project will consist of gravity sewer, a pump station and sewer force main
to the Town of Jefferson's waste water treatment plant. The creek crossing will involve
installation of the force main 3' below the creek and encasing it in concrete for
protection of the pipe from washout or breakage.
Please review the enclosed information and contact our office if there are any
questions.
Sincerely;
cc: Mr. Jeff Miller
