Engineer's Report Page 1 of 1 <br />Paul Thames <br />From: Jirn Thames ~thames@cjtpa.com] <br />Sent: Monday, June 11, 200711:21 AM <br />To: Paul Thames <br />Subject: RE: Engineers Report <br />Paul, <br />We will probably be able to submit something within the next two weeks provided flow issues within the context of <br />the Report have been resolved for the Industrial Drive Pump Station. The issue that has delayed this completion <br />has been capacity problems at the Industrial .Drive Pump Station. l have had Tommy Glenn from my office contact <br />the State to see if we can obtain any informafion from that end. He is out this morning but I will talk with him later <br />today. I do not want to submit anything that is misleading or that we know will not receive approval due <br />to Pumping rates at this Station being_inadequate. If you recall, Mebane's engineer had us reduce the pumping <br />rate at the Gravellly Hill Station (to your detriment) to justbarely make the calculations work so the State would <br />permit the Gravelly Hill Pump Station. The bottom line is that the Industrial Drive Pump Station has serious <br />problems and they have not been resolved to my knowledge. As you knew, the capacity of downstream sewers <br />and their ability to receive additional wastewater is a major issue with the State. Additional flows to this Station, <br />no matter how small ,will be seriously questioned and challenged by the State. in 2006 the Industrial Drive <br />Pump Station surcharged and a report had to be filed with the State by Mebane. The part of the Report that <br />involves the Environmental Assessment and the work in Efland is complete subject to review and reproduction. <br />Once again,how to word and provide calculations acceptable to the State for the sewers in Northern Buckhom is <br />an issue. We are attempting to meet with Mebane to discuss Buckhom prior to finalizing this section of the Report <br />fo see if they concur with our assessment. <br />We will proceed to try to complete the Report and if the infonna6on that is available to us is not sufficient to <br />complete the Report I will give you a call to discuss what actions need to be taken to complete the Report. <br />----Original Message---- <br />From: Paul Thames [mail6o:Pthames@w.orange.nc.us] <br />Sent: Monday, ]une li, 2007 9:15 AM <br />To: Jthames@cjtpa.com <br />Cc: Kevin Lindley <br />Subject: Engineer's Report <br />Jim, <br />Can you advise as to when the Engineefs report will be submitted to Grants and Loans. The BOGC is asking for a <br />timetable on the central Efland and northern Buckhorn project and the submission of the report is essential step one. <br />Thanks. <br />Paul <br />6iizlaoa~ <br />
