Report Date: 01/07/2025 Description : The City of Tallahassee owns and operates a sanitary sewer pump station, PS 43, on Meginnis Arm Road. The existing pump station discharges through an 18” PVC forcemain located on the southern side of Meginnis Arm Road. The existing forcemain crosses the I-10 corridor, via an encased 18” ductile iron pipe, continues south along Callaway Road, and west along Pullen Road to a manhole which is the terminus of the forcemain. Due to pressure surges in the segment along Meginnis Arm Road, the City has made multiple repairs to the forcemain and desires to replace the forcemain with an 18” ductile iron pipe. The limits of the forcemain replacement are from the pump station building to the northern side of the I-10 crossing. In conjunction, the City desires to install a pressure surge tank at the pump station site to regulate pressure surges in the reconstructed forcemain. The project also includes the addition of a sewer manhole structure and onsite piping to facilitate future bypass pumping operations.

PS 43 is located on three separate parcels, Parcel #211408020000, 2114204300000, and 2114510000193, totaling 0.83 acres. Parcel 2114510000193 was recently acquired by the City for the implementation of this project.

Act," Article IV, Chapter 10 of the Leon County Land Development Code. Reference Section 10-

4.105.

2. Posting of placards. A placard indicating issuance of a valid permit shall be posted in a conspicuous place on site at all times during the development activity. Reference Section 10-4.203(c)(1).

3. Permit and plans on-site. A copy of the approved permit and plans (Exhibit "A" and subsequent approved contractor "Shop Drawings") shall be available on site at all times when any development activity is occurring on the site. Reference Section 10-4.203(c)(2).

4. Notice of intent to proceed. A notice of intent to proceed shall be filed with the County Administrator or designee at least three working days prior to initiation of any physical development activity on any site, except for development activity limited to that which has been permitted in relation to construction of a detached single-family residence, which shall require filing of a notice of intent to proceed within 24 hours prior to initiation of development activity. The notice shall specify the site location and the permit number applicable to the activity and shall specify the date and approximate time at which such physical development activity is to commence. Reference Section 10-4.203(c)(3).

5. Environmental Management Officer. The permittee shall designate, as part of the environmental management permit application, an individual to act as the environmental management officer for the project. Such individual shall be in responsible charge of all on-going work on the site and shall have sufficient familiarity with the project to ensure that all work is proceeding according to the approved plans and permit. The designated environmental management officer is not required to remain on the site at all times during all operations but must ensure that during such time as the officer is not personally present on the site a designated alternate person remains in responsible charge of the project. Reference Section 10-4.203(c)(6).

6. Permit Expiration. Environmental management permits shall expire 36 months after issuance unless otherwise specified by the County Administrator or designee for master planned subdivisions or phased development projects. Reference Section 10-4.214(a)(1).

7. Extensions. Permits may be extended, by request of the applicant and approval of the County

8. Early expiration for cause. If no substantial and readily observable site development activity has taken place within 24 months of the issuance of the permit or, once development is started, if no such development activity occurs for any 24 consecutive months, the County Administrator or designee may, after notifying the permittee and providing an opportunity for hearing, determine the permit to

For facilities that have received final inspection approval prior to the time of sale or legal transfer, the original permittee shall remain liable for performance of warranty obligations as set forth in section 10-4.209(d), absent an express assumption of liability as to such warranty obligations by the subsequent holder of the property.

Reference Section 10-4.214(f)(2).
