Box 8181 <br />www.orangecountync.gov NORTH CAROLINA Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />MEMORANDUM <br />TO: Board of County Commissioners; Bonnie Hammersley, County <br />Manager <br />FROM: Craig Benedict, Planning Director; Howard Fleming, Engineering and <br />Stormwater Supervisor <br />CC: John Roberts, County Attorney <br />DATE: November 21, 2014 <br />SUBJECT: Efland to Mebane, Buckhorn- Mebane EDD, Phase 2 Extension & <br />West Ten Road Pump Station & Outfall (AKA CIP #44) <br />This memo serves as a brief status report of the progress of the above project. The <br />attached letter from the County Engineering / Stormwater Supervisor, Howard W. <br />Fleming Jr., PE and our engineering design consultant, Hobbs - Upchurch, explains the <br />progress and alignment. <br />We have begun to contact the community that will be affected by this project and our <br />area meeting of November 20, 2014 was productive and positive. The attorney's office <br />is assisting with easement acquisition. We plan to have the project ready for Board <br />approval in February or March 2014. <br />The City of Mebane has been our partner in reviewing the design and specifications <br />since they will eventually be the responsible maintenance entity. <br />This project serves 2 purposes: One, to redirect the Efland sewer flow which stabilizes <br />future sewer rates for county residents and businesses and reduces County operational <br />expenses; and two, provides sewer backbone infrastructure for over 350 acres (with <br />expansion capability for 350 additional acres) of economic development opportunity <br />north of West Ten Road and 1- 85/1 -40 in the Efland area in the water and sewer <br />boundary area. <br />Note: I have not included engineering drawings noted in Mr. Fleming Jr.'s letter as <br />items 4 through 7 but they are available if requested. <br />If you have any questions please call my office. <br />Thank you. <br />
