Subject: Rock Prairie West Business Park
Sanitary Sewer
ATA Project No . 0347-4080
Dear Gentlemen/Ladies,
In response to comments dated September 29, 2008 concerning the plan submittal for the
subj ect sanitary sewer line we have made the changes as requested, except for the
following item. The maximum spacing for manholes is 500' per TCEQ and not 400'.
Concerning Item 8 we have lowered the sanitary sewer although we disagree with the
reasoning. The western end of the property owned by the Mikeska's (the additional lots
to be served) increases in elevation and lies at the top of a hill. The increase in depth
accomplishes no useful purpose. The natural grade provides ample slope to allow the
sanitary sewer on the west end to tie to the additional lots. The case would be different if
the grade decreases but that is not the case.
Also, the entire sanitary sewer is contained by the referenced PUE. It is our
understanding that Items 1 and 2 concerning the Fire Flow Report have been addressed
by others. We expect prompt approval of the plans set. If you have any questions, please
call.
Sincerely,
Adams, Taggart and Associates
