Resubmitted Sewer Fast Track Permit
Dear Mi. Hunkelc:
On behalf of Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA). we arc resubmitting a rcviscd 'sewer fast
track pennit for construction of the nee+ US 421 Water and W-astewate Utility project. A revised project
description of the proposed infrastructure will be included.
The follo�'ing items are included in this package:
• This cover letter Mth a revised project description
• Application form FTA 10-14 (with certifications).
The review fee, topographic site maps. and street level maps submitted with our original permit
application are still applicable, however, any additional forms and attachments may be disregarded.
As mentioned previously, the work to be performed in this project includes the construction of a new
water transmission main and a new server collection system. The sewer collection system will Iransport
wastewater from the US 42) corridor to the existing Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) pump
station 12 (PS12) located on Cowan Street in Wilmington. PS 12 will be used to convey the US 421
wastewater to the Noilhside Wastewater Treatment Plant (W W7-P).
The server system will consist of a collection system and a conveyance system that will be broken out into
3 bid sections for construction. Each bid section is associated with one of the there pump stations
proposed for this project. The bid sections may be constructed all at once or separately as funding
becomes available. If all of the bid sections are not constructed together, they will be constructed in
numerical order.
Bid Section I consists of a 6-inch low pressure header that will collect wastewater along the western side
of US 421 and discharge into the ttet well of one of the three pump stations, which will be constructed
near 4600 US-421, Wilmington, NC (PS2). PS2 will convey the wastewater from the low pressure heade,
and additional wastewater that will be contributed to the system by the inf astiucture in Bid Section 2, to
PSI 2 via 27.000 LF of 8-inch diameter force main and two previously installed 8-inch pipelines

Dear Mr. Hunkele:

B&V File 30.1001
On behalf of the Cape Fear Public Utility Authority (CFPUA), we are subraitting the enclosed sewer fast
track permit package for construction of the new US 421 Water and Wastewater Utility project. Since
this project will bid with alternatives that exclude some sections of the proposed infrastructure, we wish
to permit in phases corresponding to bid alternatives.
The following items are included in this package:
• A check for $480 to cover the review fee
• This cover letter with a brief project narrativekAlfj3������a���s
• Description of project phases
• Application form ETA 10-14 (with certifications).

• Flow Tracking Application form FTSE 04-16
• Existing pernut

• Items within existing permit to address
Operations Section
• Topographic site maps (data obtained from USGS)
Wilmington Regional Office
• Street level maps
The work to be performed in this project includes the construction of a new 16-inch diameter water
transmission main and a new sewer collection system. The water main will provide treated water from
the Sweeney Water Treatment Plant (WTP) to the US 421 corridor in New Hanover County, NC and the
sewer collection system will transport wastewater from the US 421 corridor to the existing Cape Fear
Public Utility Authority (CFPUA) pump station 12 (PS12) located on Cowan Street in Wilnungton. PS
12 will be used to convey the US 421 wastewater to the Northside Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP).
The sewer system will consist of a collection system and a conveyance system. The collection system
will be comprised of a short gravity system and a low pressure header (permitted with zero flow at this
time). The conveyance system will consist of three pump stations, a 4-inch diameter force main, and an
8-inch diameter force main. The pump stations will convey wastewater to two previously installed 8-
inch pipelines constructed beneath the Northeast Cape Fear River during the Flenungton Water

CFPUA 421 Water & wastewater Utilities Project
Transmission Main and Sewer Force Mains project. The entire sewer system pernutted herein will
ultimately discharge to the CFPUA's PS 12.
Design of this infrastructure was based on the Preliminary Engineering Report prepared by McKim &
Creed in March of 2016 (PER). The PER predicts that sites along the US 421 corridor, which are
currently without access to wastewater collection, will produce 660,000 GPD of wastewater by 2040 due
to potential economic growth. This project seeks to install infrastructure with a capacity of the first
330,000 GPD of flow and serve the corridor until about year 2028. The expected flow is predicted to
come from office/industry/manufacturing facilities. For details regarding flow demands, refer to the
Description of Project Phases.

BUILDING A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE

Cape Fear Public Utility Authority Project No. 193756
Wilmington, North Carolina June 9, 2017
US 421 Water and Wastewater Utilities
DESCRIPTION OF SEWER PROJECT PHASES
1. PHASE 1— PUMP STATION 2 WITH CORRESPONDING FORCE MAIN
Phase one of the force main system construction will consist of a pump station (PS 2),
approximately 27,000 LF of 8-inch diameter force main, and approximately 9,800 LF of 6-inch
diameter low pressure header. The low pressure header will be permitted with zero flow at this
time. Once flow is permitted and present, the low pressure header will discharge into PS2, which
will be located near address 4600 US-421, Wilmington NC. The PS2 will convey wastewater through
the new 8-inch pipeline and the existing 8-inch lines across the North East Cape Fear River to
discharge into CFPUA's existing PS 12.
2. PHASE 2 —PUMP STATION 1 WITH CORRESPONDING FORCE MAIN & GRAVITY SEWER
Phase two will consist of a pump station (PS 1), approximately 7,700 LF of 4-inch diameter force
main and 1,010 linear feet of 8-inch diameter gravity sewer. PS 1 will be located just north of
Fishing Creek near the Fender County line and pump wastewater through the force main into the
wet well of PS 2.
3. PHASE 3 —PUMP STATION 3 WITH FORCE MAIN CONNECTION
Phase three will consist of a pump station (PS 3) and approximately 110 linear feet of 4-inch pipe to
tie into the 8-inch force main constructed as part of phase 1. The pump station will be located at
address 3002 US-421, Wilmington NC.
