Re: Whiteville - Phase 1 Mollies Branch Sewer Improve iVennt
NCDEQ-DWI Project #E-SRP-W-17-0123
ES Project # 18006
Please find the enclosed sewer system extension application package for the
above referenced project for your review. The City of Whiteville is proposing
to make improvements to their sanitary sewer system by replacing a section of
one of their sewer outfall lines. This portion of their existing sewer system is
old, has exceeded is useful life -expectancy, and is deficient, which increases
the likelihood of sewer back-ups, overflows, and spills during heavy rain
events and exfiltration of sewage during dry periods.
Enclosed for your review are the following:
• One (1) original and one (1) copy of this cover letter.
• A check for $480.00 for the application review fee.
• One (1) original and one (1) copy of the Sewer System Extension Form
(SSEA 04-16) with Attachment "A" for High Priority Sewers.
• One (1) original and one (1) copy of the Flow Tracking/Acceptance
Form (FTSE 04-16).
• Two sets of plan drawings.
• One (1) original and one (1) copy of a site map using an 8.5" x 11"
color copy of a USGS Topographic Map to show the project location.
There are street level maps showing the project area on the Title Page
and the Index Page of the plan drawings.
• One (1) original and one (1) copy of the Technical Specifications.
This project is funded through a loan from NCDEQ's State Reserve Program.
The City is proposing to replace these existing sewer mains, manholes, and
services with like -size pipe and manholes, in the same basic horizontal
location; although in a few areas the sewer main is being moved a short
distance horizontally to get the main out from under buildings or away from
drainage ditches. The project will not include any additional connections or
flow and is primarily for the purpose of maintenance. The existing sewer
mains are 8", 12" and 15" VCP and will be replaced with 8", 12", and 16"
PVC and DIP, and 14" HDPE (Pipe Bursting, 12" I.D.) mains.
