BOOK 7 PAGE 52 "Re: Proposed Waste Lift Station In McPherson Road Mebane. N. C. The following is a brief outline of the effect the prapcsed waste lift station in McPherson Road, Mebane, N. C., will have on the carrying capacity of the 3" gravity sewer main recently constructed by Orange County in Year Tree Road and Nicholson Street south of Mebane, N. C. This 8" sewer main .:as in- stalled on a 0.65% grade and therefore has a maximum carrying capacity of 400 GPE or 576,000 GPD (Kutter's Formula, n = 0.013). The waste lift station that was approved for construction on the Access Road east of the Mattress Factory Road was-to handle a daily volume of 487000 gals. Because of the erratic way in which the waste will arrive at the lift -cation, we are proposing the installation of 220 GPM pumps (316,800 GPD). The Lift Station is designed so that 350 GPM pumps (500,000 GPD) could be installed in the future but, before this can be done, the Town of Mebane will have to in- larger pipes for their outf 311 sewer and will have to relocate the terminal point of the 8" force main to discharge into this new outfall. The Town of Mebane and the Alamance Count?r Industrial Development Corporation have received approval from the State Stream Sanitation Cord ttee,.subject to review and approval of plans and specifications, for the installation of a waste lift station in McPherson Road on the south side of Mebane. The approval was based on an anticipated flow of 26,000 GPD. A station with 100 GPM pumps (144,000 GPD) is proposed here, not only to take care of the maximum rate of flow that might he expected, but also to provide a reasonable velocity in the 4" diameter force main that is proposed for discharging the waste from this station into Orange County's S" gravity sewer in the manhole at the intersection of Pine Tree Road and Nicholson Street. With a maximum carrying capacity of 400 GPM, it is now being proposed that the 8" gravity sewer he loaded with: 1. Orange County's Waste Lift Station east of Mattress Factory Road 220 GPM 2. Proposed Waste Lift Station on McPherson Road 100 GPM Total 320 GPM This would still leave a capacity of 80 GPM in the 8" gravity sewer. Mr. Alley was questioned as to the percentage of capacity of the sewerage line would be utilized by granting permission for the sewerage tap. He replied that the Textured Yarn Plant would consume twenty-five percent (25%) usage of the current sewerage line. Discussion ensued. Upon motion of Commissioner Ward, seconded by Commissioner Ray, it was moved that said request be granted provided that the Alamance County Board of Commissioners and the Town of Mebane commit themselves to the guarantee that they will restore,for the use of Orange County, the capacity use of said line at such time when it becomes evident that overloading of the line will occur because of additional industrial development in Orange County. Chairman Bennett called for a vote on this motion. Commissioners Ward and Ray voted ave and Commissioners Walker, Smith and Bennett voted nay. Chairman Bennett declared the motion defeated. Commissioner Smith inquired of I;r. Alley as to the cost involved in the construction of the 800' of sewerage line. The Engineer sated that the approximate cost was $6,000.00. Upon motion of Commissioner Smith, seconded by Cc_^missioner Walker, it was moved and unanimously adopted that said request for a sewerage tap would be agreeable to the Orange County Board of Commissioners upon payment to the Town of Mebane of one-half (1/2) the cost incurred for the construction of the 800' sewer line provided that a letter from the Town of Mebane be forwarded to the Orange County Board of Commissioners to the affect that said agreement is acceptable to the Town of Mebane and that the payment of the requested sum will be included in the payment due Orange County on the bonded indebtedness. The clerk was instructed to inform the Town of Mebane of said action. ^i Mr. Alley presented color swatches and requested that a decision be made concerning which color would be used on the water tank located in the Town of J Mebane. Upon motion of Commissioner Smith, seconded by Commissioner Ward, it was moved that said tank be painted a sky blue..' Fred Cates, Mayor of the Town of Hillsborough, members of the Hillsborough Board of Alderman, Fred Sharpe, and the Town Attorney were present. r
