3. The information presented during the public hearing must: a. Identify the problem • Address failing on-site septic system failures in residences and churches along Buckhorn Road from West Ten Road to I-85/40 and from I-84/40 to Norfolk- Southern Railroad. • Provide basic sewer infrastructure for the new middle school on West Ten Road and for the southern portion of the Buckhorn Road Economic Development District (EDD) b. Discuss the solution to the problem • Install a gravity sewer collection system -connected to the existing City of Mebane sewer collection system just east of the GE Plant on Industrial Drive - along Buckhorn Road between I-85/40 and Norfolk-Southern Railroad. • Install a gravity sewer collection system -connected to the existing City of Mebane sewer collection system at the PetroMart -between I-85/40 and West Ten Road. • Construct a wastewater pumping station on the site of the middle school on West Ten Road at the confluence of all drainage channels from the Buckhorn Road EDD and the school site. • Construct a sewer farce main (not a sewer service line) from the pumping station to the end of the new gravity sewer line on Buckhorn Road near the intersection of Buckhorn Road and West Ten Road. c, Identify the amount of the anticipated loan or grant and projected costs • Orange County has been awarded, through the efforts of the Board of County Commissioners and Congressman David Price, two State and Tribal Assistance Grants (STAG) -one for $900,000 and one for $500,000, • Once grant administrative fees are paid to the Construction Loans and Grants Section of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWO), the net grant funding available is approximately $1,365,000. • The consultant's (Coulter ,Jewell Thames) cost estimate for this portion of the project is $1,424,047, not including engineering casts (estimated $175,000 with construction administration/inspection). A detailed construction cost breakdown is provided on pages 20-22 in the Preliminary Engineering Report. • The funding is a 55%/45% match, with the local (Orange County) share being the 45% match. • The grant funding for sewer construction in the Efland and Cheeks communities was initially intended to provide far a single project providing sewer extension in the Buckhorn EDD/Community area and in central Efland, Time constraints associated with providing utilities for the middle school on West Ten Road (for an August 2006 opening) caused the overall project to be split into two components - the Buckhorn Road project and the Central Efland project, The Central Efland project is anticipated to run approximately 5 months behind the Buckhorn Road project. Funds remaining from this -the Buckhorn Road -portion of the project will be applied to Central Efland portion of the project.
