Rodney Daniels, Fire Marshal, petitioned the Board of Commissioners for a Public Hearing on a
Proposed Resolution of the Harnett County Board of Commissioners to Relocate Boundary Lines
between Adjoining Fire Protection Service Districts. He requested the Board approve to relocate the
adjoining fire protection service district boundary lines between the Angier Black River Fire Department
and the Coats Fire Department. The proposed adjustment affects three parcels located on Kirk Adams
Road. This change will not affect structural fire response to this area. It will allow the closer fire
department to respond more efficiently to non-structural fire incidents and will provide the affected
property owners with a lower Public Protection Classification (PPC) rating, resulting in reduced
insurance premiums. A copy of the report as required by 153A-304.3(b) for the proposed relocation was
made available for review in the Office of the Clerk to the Board of Commissioners, 455 McKinney
Parkway, Lillington, North Carolina during regular business hours of 8:00a.m. to 5:00p.m. Monday
through Friday. (Attachment 1)
Chairman Jaggers opened the public hearing. No one spoke and the public hearing was closed.
Commissioner Morris stated I assume the two chiefs have signed off on it. Mr. Daniels stated yes sir.
Commissioner Morris made a motion to adopt a Resolution to Relocate Boundary Lines between

to it, there is nothing we can do. And I truly believe with all the construction we are having; all the
houses being built in the County and across this state, we need an impact fee. So, I am asking you all, to
call your legislatures and ask for an impact fee.

Chairman Jaggers stated it is my understanding that both bills, both the House and Senate have the bill
in front of them today and unless something unusual happens, the bills will pass both of them and then
we will be waiting for the Governor to sign it. So the way I understand everything works, that we go
with this appraisal then next Monday we could vote to change the levy rate back to what we need it to be
instead of what we predict and this is true with the fire tax, correct? Mr. Trout stated correct. Chairman
Jaggers stated, so they are in here now at the 2022 appraisal and next Monday, if 474 passes we can

Special Meeting. Mr. Trout stated yes sir, we created that position into the budget. Vice Chairman Nicol
stated I appreciate that.
Additional discussion included non-profit funding. Mr. Trout stated we could place the non-profit
funding in contingency and bring it back to the Board to have a discussion at a later date. It would not
move forward until the Board were to authorize it.
Commissioner McKoy stated you have done an outstanding job on the budget.
Commissioner Matthews made a motion to approve the budget as it has been discussed here today with

7. Standard conditions on the release of grant funds:

management workshop or participating in satisfactory discussions with Golden LEAF staff
in the discretion of Golden LEAF staff, to gain training in the management of Golden LEAF

8. Confirmation of Eligibility/Permissible use of Funds: The Grantee confirms: (1) that the Internal Revenue
Service has determined that the Grantee is an organization described in Section 501(c) (3) of the Internal
Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and that such determination has not been revoked, or (2) that the
Grantee is a federal, state, or local governmental unit. Grantee agrees to notify Golden LEAF promptly
if the Grantee’s tax-exempt status is revoked or modified in any way. The Grantee agrees that it will use
the funds from this grant only for Grantee’s charitable, educational, or scientific purposes within the
meaning of Section 501(c)(3) of the Code, and that it will not use the funds from this grant in any way
that would result in or give rise to private inurement or impermissible private benefit. The Grantee agrees
that no funds from this grant will be used to carry on propaganda or otherwise to attempt to influence
legislation, to influence the outcome of any public election, or to carry on directly or indirectly any voter
registration drive. If grant funds are used to pay for sales tax for which the Grantee receives a refund,
Grantee will use the refund for expenses that are consistent with the purpose of the grant and permissible
under this Agreement.
9. Compliance with laws/liens: The Grantee represents and warrants that it is in material compliance with all
federal, state, county, and local laws, regulations, and orders that are applicable to the Grantee, and the
Grantee has timely filed with the proper governmental authorities all statements and reports required by
the laws, regulations, and orders to which the Grantee is subject. There is no litigation, claim, action, suit,
proceeding or governmental investigation pending against the Grantee, and there is no pending or (to the
Grantee’s knowledge) threatened litigation, claim, action, suit, proceeding or governmental investigation
against the Grantee that could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect upon the Grantee’s
ability to carry out this grant in accordance with its terms. The Grantee has timely paid all judgments,
claims, and federal, state, and local taxes payable by the Grantee the non- payment of which might result
in a lien on any of the Grantee’s assets or might otherwise adversely affect the Grantee’s ability to carry
out this grant in accordance with its terms.
10. Conflict of interest: In connection with the project funded by Golden LEAF, no elected or appointed
official, employee, officer, director, volunteer, or agent of the Grantee shall engage in any activity that
involves a conflict of interest or that would appear to a reasonable person to involve a conflict of interest.
Without limiting the foregoing principle, except as described below, in connection with implementation
of the project funded by Golden LEAF, Grantee shall not procure goods or services from any Interested
Person or from any individual or entity with which any Interested Person has a financial interest or from
any family member of an Interested Person, nor shall Grantee use Golden LEAF grant funds to provide
goods, services, or compensation (other than customary and reasonable wages and benefits) to any
Interested Person or to any family member of an Interested Person. “Interested Person” includes elected
and appointed officials, officers and directors of the Grantee, and employees, volunteers, and agents of the
Grantee with authority to procure goods or services for the Grantee related to the project funded by Golden
LEAF. For purposes of this section, family members shall include: (1) spouse, (2) domestic partners, (3)
ancestors, (4) brothers, (5) sisters, (6) children, (7) grandchild, (8) great-grandchild, or (9) spouses of
brothers, sisters, children, grandchildren, or great grandchildren. The foregoing relationships shall also
include both whole and half-blood relationships and adoptive relationships. The relations of a domestic
partner will be treated the same as the relations of a spouse. An Interested Person has a financial interest
if the Interested Person has, directly or indirectly, through business, investment, or family: a) an ownership
or investment interest in any entity with which the Grantee has a transaction or arrangement; b) a
compensation arrangement with the Grantee or with any entity or individual with which the Grantee has a
transaction or arrangement; or c) a potential ownership or investment interest in, or compensation
arrangement with, any entity or individual with which the Grantee is negotiating a transaction or
arrangement. Compensation includes direct and indirect remuneration as well as gifts or favors that are
not insubstantial. An Interested Person must inform the Grantee of the Interested Person’s financial
interest upon becoming aware that the Grantee is considering procuring goods or services from any
individual or entity with which any Interested Person has a financial interest. The foregoing
notwithstanding, if after exercising due diligence, the governing board or committee of the Grantee
determines that the Grantee is not reasonably able to secure a more advantageous transaction or
arrangement from an individual or entity with which an Interested Person does not have a financial
interest, the governing board or committee shall determine by a majority vote of the disinterested directors
whether the transaction or arrangement is in the Grantee’s best interest, for its own benefit, and whether
it is fair and reasonable. In conformity with the above determination the Grantee shall make its decision
as to whether to enter into the transaction or arrangement and shall keep written records of the meeting at
which that decision was made. The Grantee shall inform all Interested Persons of the requirements set
forth in this section.
If the requirements set forth in this section conflict with any statute or regulation applicable to the Grantee,
the statute or regulation shall control. If the Grantee has a conflict of interest policy or similar policy that
provides more stringent restrictions and protections than those in this section, the Grantee shall comply
with its policy rather than the policy contained herein. The Grantee may request that the President of
Golden LEAF approve a conflict of interest policy that varies from the requirements of this section. This
section does not alter the requirement that Grantee may not use the funds from this grant in any way that
would result in or give rise to private inurement or impermissible private benefit.
11. Procurement/Disposition: All costs incurred using Golden LEAF grant funds must be reasonably
necessary to implement the project funded. All procurement transactions involving the use of Golden
LEAF grant funds will be conducted to provide, to the extent possible and reasonable, free and open
competition among suppliers. The Grantee should use reasonable efforts to procure goods and services
from local businesses, small businesses, minority-owned firms, and women’s business enterprises;
provided, nothing in this section shall be construed to require Grantee to procure goods and services from
or award contracts to such enterprises that the Grantee would not choose under the procurement
requirements set out herein or its own more restrictive procurement requirements taking into account price
or other relevant allowable factors.
If the Grantee is subject to statutory or regulatory procurement requirements, those requirements supersede
this section.
The Grantee will seek competitive offers where possible and reasonable to obtain the best possible quality
at the best possible price. Some form of cost or price analysis shall be made and documented in connection
with every individual procurement in excess of $1,000.00. Price analysis may be accomplished in various
ways, including the comparison of price quotations or market prices, including discounts. For
any single procurement of $100,000.00 or more, Grantee will use a competitive bid process that is
designed to attract a reasonable number of responsive bidders. The requirements of the bid process may
vary depending on the value of the procurement. When evaluating bids received, the Grantee is not
required to take the lowest price if other factors are reasonably important to the Grantee; however, the
bases for evaluation and selection should be listed in the procurement documents and there should be an
objective method for the decision made by the Grantee. The decision should be documented in writing.
The Grantee may request that the President of Golden LEAF approve the Grantee’s use of a procurement
policy that varies from the requirements of this section.
If equipment purchased by the Grantee using Golden LEAF funds is no longer needed or used for the
project funded, the Grantee may donate the equipment to a North Carolina governmental entity or a North
Carolina organization recognized as an organization described under Section 501(c)(3) of the Internal
Revenue Code. In making such a donation, the Grantee must comply with statutory or regulatory
requirements that apply to the Grantee, must use reasonable efforts to ensure that the equipment is used
for purposes consistent with this grant, and must document and retain records evidencing the donation in
accordance with the terms and condition of this Agreement.
12. Project and budget modification: The Grantee will immediately notify Golden LEAF of anything that may
materially affects the Grantee’s ability to perform the project funded. If the Grantee proposes to modify
the budget, the objectives, or any other feature of the project funded, the Grantee shall not
encumber or expend any funds from this grant for such purposes unless and until Golden LEAF
has approved such proposed modifications in writing. Moreover, no further payments shall be made
to the Grantee in connection with the project funded unless and until Golden LEAF has approved such
proposed modifications in writing, which may be a communication sent through Golden LEAF’s grants
management system to the Grantee.
13. Use of grant funds/rescission and termination of grants: The Grantee accepts and will retain full control
of the disposition of funds awarded to the Grantee by Golden LEAF under this grant and accepts and will
retain full responsibility for compliance with the terms and conditions of the grant. Grant funds shall be
utilized exclusively for the purposes set forth above. If the Grantee breaches any of the covenants or
agreements contained in this Agreement, uses grant funds for purposes other than those set out above, or
any of the representations and warranties made by the Grantee are untrue as to a material fact, the Grantee
agrees to repay to Golden LEAF the full amount of the grant funds received by Grantee, understands
that no further funds will be advanced under the grant, and that the grant will be rescinded and/or
terminated as further set out herein. Any condition, purpose, term or provision in Golden LEAF’s
resolution approving funding, in this Agreement, or in the budget or other forms approved by Golden
LEAF shall take precedence over any conflicting provision in the Grantee’s application. Grantee shall not
use grant funds for any purpose not included in the Grantee’s application for funding unless specifically
approved in writing by Golden LEAF. If there is a conflict between the purpose of the grant and use of
grant funds described in this Agreement and the Grantee’s application for funding, this Agreement will
control.
14. The Grantee acknowledges receipt of Golden LEAF’s policy regarding termination and rescission of
grants, which policy is incorporated in this Agreement by reference and is intended to supplement but not
replace or limit the rights and remedies of Golden LEAF set forth elsewhere in this Agreement. The
Grantee acknowledges that Golden LEAF may, from time to time, amend its policy regarding termination
and rescission of grants, and the Grantee acknowledges that the Grantee will be subject to the policy as
amended.
15. If grant funds are subject to repayment hereunder, Golden LEAF shall notify the Grantee in writing of the
amount to be repaid and direct the Grantee to repay such amount directly to Golden LEAF. All such amounts
shall be due immediately upon demand by Golden LEAF. If not paid within thirty (30) days following
demand, the unpaid amount due shall continue to bear interest at the rate set out by N.C.G.S. §24-1 for
the period beginning upon the demand until paid. Upon default in such payment, Golden LEAF may employ
an attorney to enforce its rights and remedies, and the Grantee hereby agrees to pay the legal costs and
reasonable attorneys’ fees of Golden LEAF plus all other reasonable expenses incurred by Golden LEAF
in exercising any of its rights and remedies upon such default.
16. No remedy conferred or reserved by or to Golden LEAF in this Agreement is intended to be exclusive of
any other available remedy or remedies, but each and every such remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in
addition to every other remedy existing at law, in equity, or by statute, and any such right or power may be
exercised from time to time and as often as may be deemed expedient.
17. Release of Funds: Unless otherwise agreed in writing by Golden LEAF, up to twenty percent (20%) of
funds may be released in advance after all conditions on the release of funds are satisfied. Funds may be
released in additional advances of up to twenty percent (20%) of the grant amount upon receipt of evidence
satisfactory to Golden LEAF that funds previously released have been properly expended and accounted
for. Funds may also be released on a reimbursement basis, in which case payments may be made in an
amount equal to or up to eighty percent (80%) of the grant amount upon receipt of evidence satisfactory
to Golden LEAF that funds have been properly expended and accounted for. Unless otherwise approved
in writing by the President of Golden LEAF, a sum equal to twenty percent (20%) of the total amount of
the grant will be retained by Golden LEAF until the Grantee completes its obligations under this grant,
including submission of a satisfactory final report on the project funded. This final twenty percent (20%)
retained by Golden LEAF shall be paid to the Grantee on a reimbursement basis. If the grant is conditional
or contingent, all conditions and contingencies must be met before any payment will be made. Each request
for payment shall be submitted through Golden LEAF’s online grants management system in accordance
with instruction provided by Golden LEAF, unless otherwise directed by Golden LEAF. Payment should
not be requested until the Grantee has need for actual expenditures of the funds. The Grantee should
request payment at least thirty (30) days prior to its desired payment date.
18. Reporting: The Grantee agrees to submit a progress report to Golden LEAF twice each year, the first to be
received by Golden LEAF six months from the date of award and subsequent progress reports to be
received every six months thereafter unless some other schedule is approved by Golden LEAF. The
Grantee agrees to submit a final Progress Report for receipt by Golden LEAF within sixty (60) days after
the completion of all obligations for the project funded or the end date, whichever comes first. The Grantee
may be required to report results and accomplishments to Golden LEAF for a period beyond the grant
term that is reasonably necessary to evaluate the outcomes of the grant. Report forms may be found on
Golden LEAF’s website, www.goldenleaf.org.The Grantee will submit reports through Golden LEAF’s
online grants management system following in accordance with instructions provided by Golden LEAF,
unless otherwise directed in writing by Golden LEAF. The Grantee will furnish additional or further
reports if requested by Golden LEAF on forms and following in accordance with processes prescribed by
Golden LEAF.
19. Records: The Grantee agrees to maintain full, accurate and verifiable financial records, supporting
documents, and all other pertinent data for the project funded in such a manner so as to identify and
document clearly the activities and outcomes of the project funded and the expenditure of Golden LEAF
grant funds. Financial records regarding Golden LEAF’s grant shall be maintained in such a way that they
can be reported separately from monetary contributions, or other revenue sources of the Grantee. The
Grantee agrees to retain all financial and programmatic records, supporting documents, and all other
pertinent records related to the project funded for a period of five (5) years from the end of the grant term.
In the event such records are audited, all project records shall be retained beyond such five-year period
until all audit findings have been resolved. The Grantee shall provide to Golden LEAF copies of all
financial and other records requested by Golden LEAF and shall make available to Golden LEAF, or
Golden LEAF’s designated representative, all of the Grantee’s records that relate to the grant, and shall
allow Golden LEAF or Golden LEAF’s representative to audit, examine and copy any data, documents,
proceedings, records and notes of activity relating to the grant. Access to these records shall be allowed
upon request at any time during normal business hours and as often as Golden LEAF or its representatives
may deem necessary. The Grantee may be subject to audit by the State Auditor.
20. This section is applicable if the following blank is marked: Staff Initials & date:
Intellectual property/new developments: In consideration of its receipt of funds granted by Golden LEAF,
the Grantee agrees that during the course of the project funded by the grant, the Grantee, and any recipient
of grant funds, will promptly disclose to Golden LEAF any improvements, inventions, developments,
discoveries, innovations, systems, techniques, ideas, processes, programs, and other things, whether
patentable or unpatentable, that result from any work performed by or for the Grantee in connection with
the project funded, or by individuals whose work is funded by the grant (the “New Developments”). If
the Grantee provides Golden LEAF a copy of any Invention Disclosure Reports it receives from Grantee
employees (or other recipients of grant funds or individuals whose work is funded by the grant) with
respect to New Developments, then the Grantee will be deemed to have satisfied the disclosure
requirement in the preceding sentence.
The Grantee agrees that it, and any recipient of grant funds, shall take all reasonably appropriate actions
to ensure that the New Developments shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Grantee.
The Grantee hereby grants Golden LEAF, a perpetual, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, nontransferable,
irrevocable, and royalty-free right and license under the New Developments, to Exploit such New
Developments and products derived therefrom solely in connection with Golden LEAF’s noncommercial,
charitable and tax exempt purpose. For purposes of this section, “Exploit” means use, have used, make,
have made, sell, offer to sell, import, export, reproduce, adapt, modify, create derivative works of, publish,
and publicly display. In the event that the interests of the public would be served by commercialization
of the New Developments, the Grantee agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to pursue the
commercialization of any such New Developments in a manner that will serve the interests of the public,
including but not limited to the transfer, assignment or licensing of such New Developments; provided,
however, that the Grantee, and any recipient of grant funds, shall not transfer, assign or license such New
Developments in part or in whole without first having obtained the written consent of Golden LEAF.
Any revenue generated as a result of transferring, assigning, or licensing New Developments will be
managed by the Grantee in accordance with its published patent, copyright and technology transfer
procedures, if any, and in the absence of such procedures such revenue will be managed by the Grantee in
accordance with procedures approved in writing by Golden LEAF. Such procedures typically will
prioritize the distribution of revenues to ensure that the Grantee first honors its obligation to the inventors
of such New Developments and then to cover Grantee’s own out-of-pocket expenses as necessary to
protect intellectual property rights in such Developments.
The Grantee and Golden LEAF further agree that should there be any revenue generated greater than that
necessary to meet the obligations of the preceding paragraph (“Net Revenue”), the Net Revenue shall be
managed by the Grantee as follows:
a) 15% of the Net Revenue will be retained by the Grantee as a fee for the management and
distribution of funds as required under this Agreement.
b) 30% of the remaining Net Revenue will be paid to Golden LEAF.
c) 70% of the remaining Net Revenue will be retained by the Grantee and used in accordance
with the procedures referenced in the preceding paragraph above.
The Grantee's obligations pursuant to this section will continue beyond the expiration of the funding period.
21. Independent entity: The Grantee acknowledges and agrees that the Grantee is an entity independent from
Golden LEAF, is not an agent of Golden LEAF, and is not authorized to bind Golden LEAF to any
agreement of payment for goods or services. The Grantee is responsible for payment of all its expenses,
including rent, office expenses and all forms of compensation to employees. It shall provide workers
compensation insurance to the extent required by law for its operations and shall accept full responsibility
for payments of unemployment compensation, social security, income taxes and any other charges, taxes
or payroll deductions required by law in connection with its operations, for itself and its employees. All
expenses incurred by the Grantee are the sole responsibility of the Grantee, and Golden LEAF shall not
be liable for the payment of any obligations incurred in the performance of the project funded.
22. Non-discrimination: The Grantee shall not discriminate by reason of age, race, ethnicity, religion, color,
sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, parental status, national origin, genetic information, political
affiliation, protected military or veteran status, or disability, or any other legally protected status, in
connection with the activities of a project funded by Golden LEAF.
23. Publicity: All publicity and printed materials regarding projects or activities supported in whole or in part
by this grant should contain the following language: “This project received support from the Golden
LEAF Foundation.” The Golden LEAF logo is to be displayed in all of the Grantee’s publicity and
printed materials relating to this grant. The Golden LEAF Brand and Publicity Guide can be accessed at
www.goldenleaf.org/brand-and-publicity-guide/. For assistance with publicity, including review of all
press releases, please contact Golden LEAF staff (news@goldenleaf.org).
24. Authority to execute/Necessary Approvals Obtained: The individual signing below certifies their authority
to execute this Agreement on behalf of the Grantee and that the Grantee has received any third-party
approval that may be required prior to entering this Agreement. By executing this Agreement, the Grantee,
to induce Golden LEAF to make this grant, makes each of the representations set forth hereinabove and
certifies that each of such representations is true, accurate and complete as of the date hereof.
25. Limitation of Liability: This grant is made voluntarily as a charitable gift and does not constitute a

FY27 FUNDING AGREEMENT
BETWEEN HARNETT COUNTY
AND ALLIANCE HEALTH
THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into this 1st day of July 2026, by and between the
COUNTY OF HARNETT (hereinafter referred to as the “County”) and ALLIANCE HEALTH, a
political subdivision of the state of North Carolina and a Local Management Entity / Managed Care
Organization (LME/MCO) as the terms defined in NCGS 122C-3 (hereinafter referred to as “Alliance”).
WITNESSETH:
WHEREAS, Alliance is the public local management entity operating the Medicaid Tailored Plan
and Medicaid Direct health plans for eligible individuals in Harnett County; and
WHEREAS, the County and Alliance desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth the parties’
rights and obligations to manage certain county-funded health services provided to residents of Harnett
County and other matters related to the provision of those services.
NOW THEREFORE, for and in consideration of mutual covenants herein and the mutual benefits
to result therefrom, the parties hereby agree as follows:
1. TERM. This Agreement will take effect on the 1st day of July, 2026 and shall continue through and
until June 30, 2027.
2. SERVICES. In consideration of the Annual Allocation and other good and valuable consideration
agreed to herein, Alliance shall manage the provision of high quality, cost-effective mental health,
developmental disabilities and substance use services (MH/DD/SUS) to residents of Harnett County
to the extent that other first or third-party payor sources such as Medicaid, Medicare, private pay,
insurance, or grant funding are not available, have been denied or exhausted, or State funding is not
allocated by Alliance. Alliance shall adhere to the requirements of Chapter 122C of the North
Carolina General Statutes and any other applicable local, state, or federal laws, rules and regulations.
Alliance shall adhere to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and effect such policies,
procedures, and actions as are reasonably required to carry out the terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
It is agreed and understood by the parties that this Agreement is for the funding of third-party service
providers in the Alliance Network. Alliance is not a service provider. This Agreement does not create
a business associate relationship between the parties. Alliance will enter into a Network Participation
Agreement with selected providers for the provision of services described herein.
3. ANNUAL ALLOCATION. Pursuant to N.C.G.S. 122C-115, the County agrees to pay to Alliance an
Annual Allocation of Four Hundred Eight Thousand Dollars and No Cents (408,000.00) to be

for the provision of services at Daymark Recovery Services in Erwin and Eight Thousand Dollars
and No Cents ($8,000.00) for administrative costs associated with administering the obligations set
forth herein. The County shall pay to Alliance through a wire transfer an amount equal to one-quarter
of the Annual Allocation beginning on July 15, 2026, and quarterly thereafter. Alliance will recognize
funding as income in the year received and any unspent funding from the current year and prior years
will be recognized as income in the current year.

4. WAIVER: The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on any
occasion shall not be considered a future waiver of the term or deprive that party of its right thereafter
to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. Any waiver must be
in writing, and no waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver
of any other breach of such provision or of any other provision thereof.
5. ENTIRE AGREEMENT: This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties as of
the date hereof with respect to the subject matter hereof and cannot be amended or terminated orally.
6. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES: This Agreement is not intended for the benefit of any third
party. The rights and obligations contained herein belong exclusively to the parties hereto and shall
not confer any rights or remedies upon any person or entity other than the parties hereto.
7. SEVERABILITY: The Parties agree that if any provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, shall
be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason,
such determination shall be confined to the operation of the provision at issue and shall not affect or
invalidate any other provision of this Agreement, and such court shall be empowered to substitute, to
the extent enforceable, a provision similar thereto or other provisions so as to provide to the fullest
extent permitted by applicable law the benefits intended by such provisions.
8. PARAGRAPH HEADINGS: Paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are included for
convenience only and do not define, limit, or describe the scope of intent of this Agreement or in any
way affect this Agreement.

Mr. Seann Byrd

Re: Proposal for Water System Master Plan
Dear Seann:
Thank you for the opportunity to submit this proposal for updating your Water System Master Plan. The
scope reflects our recommended approach for updating the HRW hydraulic model and recommending
capital improvement projects. Master plan updates are important for help prepare for the future.
In 2016 Hazen completed a hydraulic analysis of the Southwest and South Central water districts, and in
2017 performed the same analysis for the Central and Northern water districts. These plans recommended
capital improvements to eliminate deficiencies and allow growth. We recommend a comprehensive
capital improvement plan update for the entire distribution system given the recent growth that HRW has
experienced.
We propose updating and re-calibrating HRW’s hydraulic model to ensure it accurately represents the
existing water system. Demands will be updated using current billing records, and future demands will be
adjusted based on the best available planning information. The updated model will simulate future
conditions to check for deficiencies, and the capital improvement plan will be updated as needed to
provide a reliable supply and excellent water quality to HRW customers.
Please call us if you have any questions about our proposal.
Sincerely,
John Collett, PE
Senior Associate

Proposal for Water System Master Plan
Harnett Regional Water Page 2 of 8
Scope of Work
Hazen and Sawyer (Engineer) proposes the following scope of work for the Harnett Regional Water
(Owner) Master Plan:
1. Update Existing Hydraulic Model
This task includes working with Owner’s staff to gather information about the water system, including:
• Current GIS data describing the distribution system, including pipes, valves, and hydrants
• Locations of intentionally closed isolation and control valves which form pressure zone
boundaries
• Pump performance curves for any pumps added or replaced since 2014
• Billing data comprising 12 months usage and GPS coordinates for each water meter
• List of flusher locations, flow rates and hours of operation
• Daily production records from water treatment plant since 2022
• SCADA records for the dates when field tests are performed
• SCADA records of tank levels, pump operation, and pressures for a typical summer day
• Population data for traffic analysis zones and any other planning data showing growth areas
The project will begin with Kickoff Meeting 1 where the Engineer will present an overview of the
project tasks, review the list of information needed, as well as discuss planning of field testing. The
Engineer will update the water model to reflect current piping as shown in the Owner’s GIS. The
Engineer will compare the locations of intentionally closed valves and pressure zone boundaries with the
existing model and update as necessary. The Engineer may ask the Owner to check the position of valves
in areas of uncertainty and provide current control valve settings. The Engineer will update pump curves
as provided by the Owner. The Engineer will perform up to two days of field investigations to assist
Owner with checking zone boundaries, control valve settings, or other investigation needed for the model
update.
The Engineer will re-allocate node demands in the model using 12 months of recent customer billing data
and meter locations provided by the Owner. Node demands will be adjusted to account for non-revenue
water using water treatment plant pumpage records provided by the Owner. The Engineer will update
flushing rates at nodes representing flushers using information provided by the Owner.
The Engineer will calculate diurnal demand patterns using SCADA records from spring or summer,
recognizing that peak demand will be critical for evaluating existing and future conditions. The area
covered by each pattern will depend on where flows are recorded by SCADA, but the goal will be to
develop curves on either side of the Cape Fear River. The Owners’ largest wholesale water customers will
be assigned demand patterns based on hourly meter data provided by the Owner or other information such
as pump runtimes.

July 17, 2025
Proposal for Water System Master Plan
Harnett Regional Water Page 3 of 8
The Engineer will add model controls by reviewing SCADA records and interviewing operations staff.
These controls will enable the model to perform extended period simulations that turn pumps on and off
and track tank levels.
2. Check Model Calibration
The Engineer will conduct four hydraulic grade line (HGL) tests that measure flows and pressures along
selected paths of trunk mains. Equipment to record flows and pressures will be provided by the Engineer.
Owner will make taps accessible from previous flow measurements or install new taps if needed. The
calibration approach will convert measured pressures to feet of water and add gauge elevations, in order
to plot hydraulic grade lines (HGLs) against distance. Engineer will prepare plots that compare measured
and predicted HGLs, showing where the model needs adjustments, or locations where unusual field
conditions are suspected, such as closed valves. Major discrepancies that cannot be resolved with
reasonable model adjustments will be reviewed with Owner to develop a plan for further investigations.
The Engineer will conduct 15 fire flow tests to check model calibration in areas of interest identified by
the Engineer and Owner. The tests will measure static pressure, residual pressure and flow using
calibrated equipment provided by the Engineer. The Owner will provide SCADA records of system
operation during the tests, including tank water levels, pump status and system demand. The Engineer
will use this information to simulate each fire flow test and compare predicted and measured pressures.
Minor adjustments will be made to the model to match the measurements. Major discrepancies that
cannot be resolved with reasonable model adjustments will be reviewed with Owner to develop a plan for
further investigations.
During field testing the Owner will provide assistance, including transporting the engineer and his
equipment between tests, operating hydrants and valves as needed, providing traffic control if necessary,
and providing confined space operators and equipment should confined space entry be required.
The Engineer also will calibrate the model using SCADA records by comparing predicted tank water
levels from extended period simulations to SCADA data showing actual tank levels. SCADA
comparisons will check pump cycles and tank turnover which impact the model’s water age calculations.
Progress Meeting 2 will summarize the model updates, field testing results, and calibration comparison.
Engineer and Owner will also establish acceptable design criteria for service pressure evaluation.
3. Evaluate Pressures and Fire Flows
The Engineer will use the model to calculate maximum and minimum pressures throughout the
distribution system under current conditions using the previously established design criteria for service
pressures. Engineer will recommend improvements to increase or decrease pressure as needed to meet
design criteria for maximum and minimum pressures.

July 17, 2025
Proposal for Water System Master Plan
Harnett Regional Water Page 4 of 8
Engineer will map available fire flows for the existing distribution system by simulating fire flows at the
model node where each hydrant connects to a water main. The fire flow map will use the color-coding
scheme specified by the State Fire Marshal.
The fire flow map will identify hydrants with available flows less than 500 gpm. The Engineer will use
the hydraulic model to test improvements for up to ten problem areas where numerous available flows are
deficient. If directed by HRW, the engineer may look at additional development areas where 1,000+ gpm
available fire flow is needed. This additional evaluation would be performed using the project on-call
allowance.
4. Evaluate Water Quality
This task will generate a water age map using the calibrated hydraulic model. The model will predict
water age based on a 30-day simulation of existing average daily demand using current operating
procedures. The map will highlight areas where water age is excessive. Engineer will plot Owner’s
disinfection byproduct (DBP) sampling sites on the map and graph predicted water age against recent
DBPs sample data provided by the Owner.
The Engineer will use the model to test operational improvements that reduce water age in problem areas,
especially those near DBP sampling sites. Operational improvements may include automatic flushing,
bleeding water at zone boundaries, increasing tank turnover, enhancing circulation, and changing pump
controls.
Progress Meeting 3 will review the supply pressure, available fire flow, and water quality evaluation
results. Engineer and Owner will also discuss sources of data Owner wishes to use for projecting future
water demands.
5. Estimate Future Water Demands
The Engineer will review population projections for Traffic Analysis Zones (TAZs) within the future
water system service area and other planning information made available by the Owner. The TAZ
projections will be adjusted if needed based on input from HRW staff.
The Engineer will project water demands for each pressure zone through 2050. Demand projections will
include an evaluation of peaking factors and estimates of average day, maximum day and peak hour in
each pressure zone. Demand projections will consider:
• projected population growth
• historical water production
• existing use by large customers
• existing and potential wholesale supply agreements (provided by HRW)
• information provided by HRW about new industrial use
• recent trends in per capita water use

Harnett Regional Water Page 5 of 8
Engineer and HRW staff will hold Progress Meeting 4 to review demand projections before modeling
future conditions. A technical memorandum will summarize the demand projections that have been
agreed upon before proceeding with the master plan.
The Engineer will assign new demands to model nodes so that the model’s total demand for future
scenarios agrees with demand projections. New demands will be distributed to growth areas based on
TAZ projections and other growth areas identified during discussions with the Owner.
Engineer will use the demand projections to evaluate storage and pump capacity in each pressure zone.
This evaluation will consider storage for equalizing demand, sustaining fire flows and meeting state
regulations. Needed storage for each pressure zone will be compared to existing tank capacities to identify
zones with inadequate storage. New tanks will be recommended as needed. Pump capacity will be
evaluated by comparing maximum day demands with firm pumping capacity. Pump improvements will
be proposed as needed.
6. Develop CIP
Progress Meeting 5 will kickoff the capital project identification task with a “brainstorming” workshop
to identify possible improvements to test using the model. Hydraulic modeling will simulate critical
future demand conditions using the demand projections. Predicted pressures will be compared with design
criteria agreed upon with the Owner. Engineer will compare improvement alternatives and identify cost-
effective methods of supplying future demands while meeting hydraulic design criteria and maintaining
water quality. Recommendations will take full advantage of the existing distribution system and will
consider adjustments to pressure zone boundaries, if needed.
Modeling results will be summarized in Progress Meeting 6 and Progress Meeting 7 with the owner to
review viable improvement alternatives while considering costs, constructability and community impacts.
Final recommendations will be developed based on review comments.
The Engineer will finalize, map and tabulate a capital improvements plan (CIP) by prioritizing
recommended pipes, tanks, and pump stations. Each recommended project will include planning level
cost estimates. Cost estimates will include construction, contingencies, engineering, and construction
administration costs. The CIP will be shown graphically on color-coded maps, and project sheets will be
developed for major recommendations. Proposed improvements will be summarized by pressure zone,
and the Engineer will identify projects that depend on demand benchmarks.
7. Prepare Master Plan Report
The Engineer will present the overall findings and final project recommendations to the owner during
Progress Meeting 8. The Engineer will prepare a draft report that describes updating and calibrating the
hydraulic model, summarizes the demand projections, explains model results and tabulates proposed
improvements, including estimated costs. Projects sheets will identify major capital improvement
projects.

Engineer will respond to review comments by Owner’s staff and prepare three paper copies of the final
report, along with electronic versions of the report, maps, and hydraulic model.
8. On-Call Testing and Modeling
The Engineer will provide modeling and other analysis as requested by HRW staff for items not covered
within the scope of work tasks 1 through 7. This may include investigating major discrepancies between
field and model results uncovered during calibration, evaluating additional areas to improve available fire
flows, additional in-person meetings, or other analysis which is identified as the project proceeds.

Executive Summary
This report presents a distribution system hydraulic analysis of the Southwest and South Central water
districts that will guide Harnett County as it budgets for capital improvements to accommodate growth.
The hydraulic analysis used a computer model that simulated how the distribution system will respond to
increasing demand. It also tested improvements to eliminate predicted deficiencies. The model reflects the
most current information in Harnett County’s GIS and customer billing records. We verified the accuracy
of the model by checking simulations of existing conditions against flow and pressure measurements and
operational records. This calibration process established confidence in model predictions for future
conditions and the effectiveness of proposed improvements.
Several operational problems and deficiencies were identified during field testing including low pressures
at South Central Booster Pump Station 1 (SC BPS 1), surge issues at Southwest Booster Pump Station 3
(SW BPS 3), inaccurate SCADA flow metering at SC BPS 3, several open pressure zone boundary
valves, and low pressures near the South Regional Ground Storage Tank.
Projected demands were based on planning data for traffic analysis zones and existing agreements with
wholesale customers. The Southwest and South Central water districts are projected to reach a maximum
day demand of 24.6 mgd by year 2040. We checked pump capacity, storage capacity, and pipe capacity in
each pressure zone. The model tested improvement alternatives to eliminate deficiencies, taking full
advantage of the existing system and thus minimizing costs.
The first phase of recommended improvements includes construction of a new pump station to serve SC
Zone 3. Also included are piping improvements which will eliminate existing low pressure problems.
The second phase of improvements includes high service pump upgrades at the water treatment plant, and
a 24-inch transmission main leaving the plant.
The following table summarizes planning level capital improvement costs in 2016 dollars:

1 5 $11,761,000
2 4 $21,150,000

| Introduction 1-1
1. Introduction
1.1 Authorization
Hazen and Sawyer was authorized to perform a water system hydraulic analysis of the Southwest and
South Central water districts for Harnett County in December 2014.
1.2 Purpose
The purpose of the study was to recommend capital improvements for eliminating existing deficiencies
and supplying future growth. Our analysis used hydraulic models to analyze existing problems and to
simulate future conditions. The county has an existing hydraulic model which included only the system
trunk mains.
Harnett County’s pipe network is in a geographic information system (GIS). The previous model does not
overlay the GIS network or other GIS data such as valves and hydrants. Therefore, a new hydraulic model
was created utilizing the newest GIS information available.
1.3 Scope of Work
The scope of work outlined in a proposal dated December 22, 2014, is shown below.
1. Meet with County staff and obtain information
We propose meetings to discuss the project with County staff and obtain contacts for gathering the
following information:
Existing model files
Pertinent GIS data
Customer billing records
Water production and pumping records
Pump curves and control valve settings
SCADA data for a high demand day
2. Create a new model from GIS
This task will include creating a new model of the entire system from the County’s GIS. The
modeling software will check pipe connectivity and eliminate gaps and duplicate pipes. We also will
check the integrity of pressure zone boundaries.
3. Distribute existing demands using billing records
Coordinates will be assigned to each customer using billing records provided by the County. These
records will include at least 12 months of usage history for each customer. We understand that
approximately 85 percent of the billing records are linked to parcels that are defined in the County’s

| Introduction 1-2
GIS. Hazen and Sawyer will attempt to locate the remaining customers, mostly in Cumberland
County and the Town of Erwin, using street addresses. The modeling software will use meter
coordinates to assign each customer to the nearest node in the water model. The software will
calculate model demands based on the annual average billing of the customers assigned to each node,
plus adjustments for non-revenue water. The County will provide estimated water use for automatic
flushers and any other known usage not included in the billing records. Adjustments for non-revenue
water will ensure that the total demand in the model agrees with the amount of water pumped from
the water treatment plant. Usage by customers we are unable to locate will be included in the non-
revenue adjustments. We will assign demands for wholesale customers individually without
adjustments. Node demands will be linked to billing records to facilitate future model updates.
4. Add pump curves and tank data
This task will include adding pump curves to the model using manufacturer’s performance curves
provided by the County. We also will add tank data such as overflow and empty elevations, as well as
diameters. We will salvage as much of this data as possible from the old model, after checking that it
is still correct.
5. Calculate peaking factors and diurnal demand curves
We propose calculating peaking factors for the South Central and Southwest districts using SCADA
records or flow measurements during spring or summer, recognizing that peak demand will be critical
for evaluating existing and future conditions. Peaking factors are system specific and are often
seasonal, and they may vary from one district to another. If suitable SCADA records are not available
for the South Central and Southwest districts, we propose 24-hour flow measurements using pitot
tubes. For large wholesale meters where no SCADA records are available, we will determine hourly
flow rates by installing meter-master recorders or by other means. We will develop diurnal demand
curves for the model using the calculated hourly peaking factors.
6. Measure HGLs and flows in transmission mains
This task will include measuring flows and pressures along the transmission mains that connect the
water plant to the tanks in the South Central and Southwest districts. We will convert measured
pressures to feet of water and add gauge elevations in order to plot hydraulic grade lines (HGLs)
against distance. These plots will show accumulated head losses and illustrate bottlenecks or other
restrictions. The hydraulic gradient tests also will provide accurate benchmark information for model
calibration. From the results of these tests on key pipe sections, we will calculate Hazen-Williams
coefficients for use in the model.
7. Conduct fire flow tests
We will conduct fire flow tests consisting of flow and pressure measurements that assess the strength
of the distribution system at specific locations in the Southwest and South Central districts. We will
use the test results to check localized calibration of the model. We will work with County staff to
select approximately 10 test locations, including growth areas, fire hazards and problem areas.

| Introduction 1-3
8. Debug and calibrate model using field tests
This task will include checking the model and running steady-state simulations of existing operations
during the field tests. We will calibrate the model in the South Central and Southwest districts by
comparing predicted flows and pressures with measurements from the fire flow tests and hydraulic
gradient tests. The model will be adjusted until its predictions agree reasonably well with the
measurements. Major discrepancies will be investigated and resolved.
9. Deliver the calibrated model to the County
The calibrated model will be delivered to the County in an electronic format that can be used in the
County’s WaterGEMS software. We also will deliver a PowerPoint presentation that documents the
model’s calibration and graphically compares model predictions to SCADA records and field
measurements.
10. Add new demands in the study area
This task will use the flow projections developed in Hazen and Sawyer’s sewer system study and
other planning data to assign new demands to water model nodes in the South Central and Southwest
districts. We will work with County staff to estimate future demands for Fort Bragg, Moore County
and other wholesale customers in the study area.
11. Evaluate the Southwest and South Central districts
We will simulate critical demand conditions including maximum day, peak hour and maximum day
plus fire flows. We will compare predicted performance to design criteria and identify deficiencies.
We will use the calibrated model to test alternatives for improvements and work with County staff to
develop a constructible capital improvements plan that will eliminate deficiencies at minimum cost.
12. Recommend improvements and prepare a report
This task includes preparing a brief report that describes the hydraulic evaluation of the South Central
and Southwest districts. The report will document sources of information used for model data with
charts and tables comparing model predictions with flow and pressure measurements. The report will
include maps showing recommended improvements and planning level cost estimates.

1.4 General Information
Harnett County is located in eastern North Carolina between Raleigh and Fayetteville. The county
population was 115,724 in year 2010. Harnett County operates a water distribution system that supplies
customers in Harnett, Cumberland, Lee, and Wake Counties. The system also supplies several bulk
customers including Holly Springs, Fort Bragg, Fuquay Varina, Moore County, Johnston County, Angier,
Lillington, Spring Lake, Coats, and Linden.
Outside of bulk customers, demand is primary residential. The average daily demand in 2014 was 15.4
million gallons per day (mgd). The maximum day on record is 25.5 mgd, recorded in August 2015.
The water treatment plant draws water from the Cape Fear River. An ongoing plant expansion will
increase the permitted capacity to 42 mgd when completed. Treated water is stored in clearwells with a
total capacity of 5.2 million gallons (MG) and an overflow elevation of 140.4 feet. There are 10 finished
water pumps which supply water to four separate districts.
The distribution system includes 15 pressure zones, as shown in Figure 1. The system has many booster
stations to serve the different zones. Each zone has at least one tank.

The focus of this study is the Southwest and South Central water districts (outlined in Figure 1). The
pressure zones in these districts are described below:
Metro 6 Pressure Zone is supplied by a dedicated set of pumps at the water treatment plant. The Metro 6
Zone has one elevated tank with an overflow of 414 feet. The zone supplies the Town of Lillington
through a control valve near the Lillington Tank. The zone can also be supplied from the 36-inch South
Regional transmission main through a pressure sustaining valve.
South Central 1 Pressure Zone is supplied by SC Booster Pump Station (BPS) 1 from the Metro 6
Zone. The South Central 1 Zone has one elevated tank with an overflow of 425 feet.
South Central 4 Pressure Zone is supplied by SC BPS 4 from the South Central 1 Zone. The South
Central 4 Zone has one elevated tank with an overflow of 402 feet. The eastern portion of the zone
supplies the Town of Linden and is metered through a master meter near Elliot Bridge Rd and US 401.
South Central 3 Pressure Zone is supplied by SC BPS 3 from the South Central 1 Zone. The South
Central 3 Zone has one elevated tank with an overflow of 459 feet. The southern portion of the zone is
supplied at reduced pressure by two pressure reducing valves (PRVs). The PRV located at US 219 and
Bill Shaw Rd reduces the pressure from South Central 3 Zone. The PRV located at Ray Rd and Rambeaut
Rd reduces the pressure from South Central 2 Zone. The Spring Lake BPS is supplied from the reduced
pressure portion of South Central 3 Zone.
South Central 2 Pressure Zone is supplied by SC BPS 2 from the South Central 3 Zone, and also from
Southwest Zone through a control valve on Docs Rd. South Central 2 Zone has one tank with an overflow
of 545 feet. The southern portion of the zone is supplied at reduced pressure through a PRV at Ray Rd
and Overhills Rd.
Southwest Pressure Zone is supplied by SW BPS 3 from Metro 6 Zone and by the South Regional BPS
from the South Regional ground storage tank. The Southwest Zone has 5 tanks. SW Tank 1 has an
overflow of 480 feet, which is below the normal hydraulic gradient. SW BPS 1 is used to re-pump water
from SW Tank 1 and turn the tank over. Southwest Tanks 2 and 4 are located at the same site and have
overflows of 588 feet. Southwest Tank 3 has an overflow of 595 feet. Southwest Tank 5 has an overflow
of 600 feet. SW BPS 4 transfers water from SW Tank 3 to SW Tanks 2 and 4 through a dedicated 20-inch
main within the Southwest Zone. This zone supplies Moore County through a master meter near Line Rd
and Cypress Church Rd.
South Regional Ground Storage Tank is supplied directly from the WTP by dedicated high service
pumps. A dedicated 30-inch transmission main connects the pumps to the ground storage tank. A fill
valve at the ground storage tank must be throttled or closed to maintain pressure in the transmission main.
A check valve connecting to Metro Tank 6 maintains pressure along the pipe when the high service
pumps are off. Ft. Bragg is supplied from the South Regional Ground Storage Tank by the Ft. Bragg BPS.

2. New Hydraulic Model
2.1 Background
Hydraulic models are used to calculate flows and pressures in water distribution systems. For master
planning, the purpose of a model is to predict performance for changing conditions and future demand
requirements.
The original computer model of the Harnett County water system only included large trunk mains and
does not overlay GIS base maps such as aerial imagery or street maps. Harnett County’s pipe network is
now in GIS, and therefore, this project included rebuilding the hydraulic model using up-to-date GIS
information.
2.2 Pipe Network
Rebuilding the model’s pipe network began with importing water system shapefiles provided by Harnett
County. GIS pipe information was used to create a hydraulic network which is the basis for flow and
pressure calculations. Tank information from the previous model was imported where applicable. Harnett
County provided drawings and pump curves for pump stations. Record drawings were used to accurately
model the pipes and finished water pumps at the water treatment plant.
The model size was reduced by merging consecutive sections of pipe that had the same properties
(diameter, material, etc.). This step improves computer runtimes and reduces file sizes, but maintains
model integrity and accuracy. Nodes were added at high and low elevations using a GIS process which
allows for identification of areas with potential pressure problems. High elevations may have pressures
that are too low, and low elevations may have pressures that are too high.

2.3 Water Demand Overview
The new hydraulic model includes data describing existing demand conditions such as average day,
maximum day, peak hour and maximum day plus fire flow.
Average day demand is defined as the total amount of water pumped into the system in a year divided by
the number of days in a year. Average day demand is the best basis for projecting future demand.
Maximum day demand is the highest daily demand in a year. This is the critical requirement that
production sources must be able to meet.
Peak hour demand is the highest hourly rate of demand on the maximum day. This requirement can be
supplied by both the production sources and tanks. Peak hour demand is usually the critical requirement
for large water systems, such as Harnett County.
Maximum day plus fire flow is usually the largest requirement for small distribution systems. Fire flows
are added to the maximum day demand because of the low probability of a fire occurring during the peak
hour. Storage tanks are the most reliable sources for fire flows.
2.4 Supply Records
Water treatment plant production records were provided by Harnett County, and are shown in Figure 4.
These records include average day and maximum day finished water flow. The maximum day from 2015
was 25.5 mgd, the highest on record. After discussion with county staff, we conservatively compared the
2015 maximum day to the average days from 2013 and 2014 to calculate a max day peaking factor of
166%. This factor was used for estimating future maximum day demands.

2.5 Billing Records
Water meter billing records from 2014 were used to distribute water demands within the model. The
records included 35,301 active meters that accounted for an annual average billing of 13.2 mgd. The
location of water demands within the model were determined by geocoding the billing address for each
account. Approximately 98% of the accounts were successfully located using this method. The remaining
unlocated accounts representing 0.6% of the total billed water were included in the adjustment for non-
revenue water.
Ten large customers were identified from the billing records. A large customer was defined as a customer
whose annual usage was over 40 million gallons. Table 3 lists these customers.

Water Treatment Plant records indicate that during 2014 the average production was 15.39 mgd. The
difference between water produced and water billed is non-billed water, which was 2.2 mgd or 15% of
total water produced, as shown in Table 4 and Figure 5.
Non-billed water must be taken into account within the model. To distribute the non-billed water, each
demand was increased by a factor until the total model demand equaled the treatment plant production.
The large users are excluded from this adjustment because their meters were assumed to be accurate and
large adjustments would be unrealistic.

2.6 Hourly Demand Variation
Diurnal demand patterns were developed using system measurements recorded by SCADA. Hourly
demands were calculated from records of water pumped from the WTP plus or minus water from or into
storage, respectively.
The pattern was developed for the area of the distribution system southwest of the Cape Fear River. As
shown in Figure 6, the highest hourly demand was 201% of the 24-hour average for the day. This peaking
factor was used to estimate peak hourly demands.
Figure 6 Demand Pattern South of River
The minimum demand that occurred at night is also important. A minimum rate above 50% of the average
can be a sign of leakage. The calculated minimum was 53% between 1 and 2 AM, indicating that
moderate leakage may be occurring in the distribution system.
The shape of the diurnal curve is significant for calculating storage requirements. The measured curve
corresponds to an equalizing storage requirement of 12.3% of the total volume used in 24 hours.

3. Field Testing and Model Calibration
3.1 Background
Distribution system tests investigate the general condition of the existing system. These tests serve several
purposes. The tests produced input data needed for the computer model and provided accurate
measurements for model calibration. The tests also checked for unusual conditions such as closed valves
or GIS errors.
Calibration checks the model’s predictions for current conditions. Calibrating a model gives confidence in
the model’s predictions for future conditions.
3.2 Hydraulic Gradient Testing
Hydraulic gradient tests evaluate accumulated head losses along major transmission mains for comparison
with model predictions. The hydraulic gradient is the change in hydraulic grade line (HGL) with distance.
The HGL is the ground elevation plus water pressure expressed in feet.
Hydraulic gradient tests consisted of simultaneous flow and pressure measurements along trunk mains
between the water plant, booster stations and tanks. Flows were measured with existing flow meters at
pump stations or with pitometers rod using taps made by the County.
The following hydraulic gradient tests were performed for this study, as shown in Figure 7.

3.3 Model Calibration Using HGLs
The calibration of the model was checked by simulating system conditions on the days field testing was
performed, then comparing the model results with the measured flows and HGL results.
In order to simulate system conditions accurately, the model used SCADA records logged during the
testing period. These records provided operating conditions such as tank levels and pump status. The
water treatment plant’s daily production was used to adjust demands within the model.
During calibration both flows and pressures were checked to eliminate the possibility of compensating
errors. The results from the HGL testing and model comparisons are provided on the following pages.

During model calibration several discrepancies within the model were resolved. A large discrepancy was
noted between the pump station flow meter reading and the model results at SC BPS 3. The county later
checked the meter and found that it was over-registering. A pipe connectivity problem was fixed near SC
BPS 1 and boundary valves were determined to be open south of SC BPS 1. Pump curves at SW BPS 3
were found to be incorrect and were subsequently updated. A potential surge problem at SW BPS 3 was
noted and discussed with the county. Low pressures were observed near the South Regional Ground
Storage Tank and the operating conditions under which they occurred were identified. The county later
revised the operating procedure to maintain pressure.
3.4 Fire Flow Testing
Fire flow tests show the strengths and weaknesses of the system at particular test locations. Fire flow tests
also are used to calibrate models. Figure 11 shows the fire flow testing locations.
Figure 11 Fire Flow Testing Locations
A fire flow test consists of measuring the static pressure at a hydrant, then opening a nearby hydrant and
measuring the residual pressure and the flow rate. A minimum pressure drop of 10 psi is recommended
for accurate tests. From the measured data, the flow available at 20 psi was calculated. Reducing pressure
below 20 psi is not recommended by the American Water Works Association (AWWA).
In total 12 fire flow tests were performed during this study. The results are shown in Table 5.

3.5 Model Calibration Using Fire Flow Tests
The calibration of the model was checked by simulating typical conditions on the days field testing was
performed, then simulating each fire flow test in the model and comparing the results to measured field
tests.
First, the measured static pressures were compared with the model predictions to determine whether node
elevations were correct. Next, the model simulated the measured flow for each of the tests and the
residual pressures were compared.
The hydraulic model originally assigned all pipes a C-value of 130. The majority of fire flow calibrations
required increasing the C-value to 150 in PVC pipe. Therefore, all PVC pipes were subsequently assigned
a C-value of 150 by default and localized C-value adjustments were made as needed.
During model calibration several discrepancies within the model were resolved. Incorrect GIS pipe
diameters were found along Coachman Way. Correct PRV diameters and minor losses were added to the
model.

Two fire flow tests could not be matched using the hydraulic model. The test performed along Bethel
Baptist Road recorded an actual pressure drop of 63 psi, however the model only predicted a drop of 18
psi for the same flow rate. Because this area is supplied by two PRVs, the test should be repeated while
simultaneously recording pressures at the PRVs. Due to a road widening project, the pipe supplying the
PRV on Ray Road is currently being relocated and upgraded to 12-inch. When complete, this upgrade
will change the operating characteristics in the Bethel Baptist Road area. We recommend repeating this
test after construction is completed.
The test performed along Coachman Way recorded an actual pressure drop of 90 psi, however the model
only predicted a drop of 49 psi for the same flow rate. Pipe connectivity at Buffalo Lake Road was
checked, however nothing was found to explain the high drop in pressure. We recommend performing an
HGL test in the area to determine if a closed valve may be causing poor hydraulic performance and
reducing available fire flows.
After completing calibration, the model was used to calculate available fire flows at each hydrant within
the study area. A full sized color coded map was provided to county staff and is included digitally on the
USB drive accompanying this report.
The results from the field testing and model comparison are provided in Table 6.

4. Water Demand Projections
4.1 Overview
The water system hydraulic evaluation for Harnett County included modeling future water demands
through year 2040 to plan system improvements in the South Central (SC) and Southwest (SW) water
districts. Demand projections were based on traffic analysis zone (TAZ) planning data, which project
population growth within small geographic areas. The project area outside of TAZ coverage was assigned
an annual growth factor of 1.5% based on discussions with County staff. These discussions also projected
demands for wholesale customers and industrial growth areas.
The current annual average demand based on 2014 WTP production records is 15.4 mgd. Billing records
were used to distribute water demands within the hydraulic model, with adjustments to account for non-
revenue water so that overall system demand matches WTP production. The Southwest and South Central
Districts account for 47% of the total existing demand.
Projected demands include only customer usage, without adjustments for non-revenue water. This
assumes that the County will maintain or reduce the total non-revenue water in future years. Projected
demands were combined with existing demands to determine the total future demand requirements in the
study area.
4.2 Domestic and Small Commercial Demand
The Fayetteville Area Metropolitan Planning Organization (FAMPO) TAZ population projections were
released in October 2013 and reflect information from the 2010 Census. They project population increase
to 2040 within delineated zones that average 2.7 square miles.
In order to estimate the additional water demand due to projected population increase, the current per
capita water usage was calculated. From the 2014 billing records, Harnett County has 35,301 active
meters. The top 10 water users were excluded from the calculation, as they are mostly bulk customers.
The remaining small customers account for 5.4 mgd average day demand. The small customer average
usage is 153 gpd/meter.
According to the 2010 Census, Harnett County has on average 2.68 people per household, so the current
per capita usage is:
153 𝑖𝑙𝑑/𝑙𝑑𝑟𝑑𝑟
2.68 𝑙𝑑𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑑/�𝑙𝑟𝑟𝑑�𝑙𝑙𝑑=57 𝑖𝑎𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑟 𝑙𝑑𝑟 𝑑𝑎𝑦 / 𝑙𝑑𝑟𝑟𝑙𝑙
The total population increase in the TAZ coverage area between 2010 and 2040 is 24,193, which
corresponds to 1.97% annual growth. Because the existing demand was developed from 2014 billing
records, a reduction factor was applied to the projected TAZ population growth:
24,193 × 26 𝑦𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑟
30 𝑦𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑟=20,967 𝑙𝑙𝑙𝑟𝑙𝑎𝑟�ℎ𝑙𝑙 𝑖𝑟𝑙𝑟𝑟�

Further adjustments were made to the population projections based on input provided by the County. It
was agreed to increase the per capita demand to 60 gpd, and to adjust the TAZ annual growth to 2.5%.
20,967 × 2.5%
1.97% × 60𝑖𝑙𝑑 =1.60 𝑙𝑖𝑑 𝑙𝑑𝑟 𝑎𝑟𝑑𝑟𝑎𝑖𝑑 𝑑𝑎𝑦 𝑑𝑑𝑙𝑎𝑙𝑑
New demand of 1.60 mgd was distributed using the TAZ projections as a weighting mechanism, as
shown in the map below.
Figure 12 TAZ Map Indicating Growth Areas Inside Project Area Based on FAMPO Projections
A portion of the project area falls outside of TAZ coverage. In order to account for future growth in this
area, we used an annual growth rate of 1.5%, based on discussions with county staff. 2014 billing records
indicate that there are 4,749 domestic water meters within this area using an average of 0.73 mgd. By
2040 (26 years) average use will grow to:
0.73(1 +0.015)26 = 1.07 𝑙𝑖𝑑
This corresponds to new demand of:

4.3 Maximum Day Peaking Factor
Average day demand is the best basis for projecting future demand, however maximum day demand is the
critical requirement to evaluate the capacity of a water system. Maximum day demand is the highest daily
demand in a year and it varies with rainfall in most water systems.
From 2013 to 2015, the maximum daily flow recorded from the WTP was 25.5 mgd. This compares to an
average flow of 15.4 mgd in 2014. Based on these records, a peaking factor of 166% was used for
estimating future maximum day demands. The following table summarizes the projected maximum day
demand increase for domestic and small commercial customers.

Table 10 shows that maximum day demand is expected to double by 2040 within the study area. This may
require additional treatment and pumping capacity at the WTP, and improvements within the distribution
system. Out of the 12.4 mgd demand increase, Ft. Bragg accounts for 5 mgd or 40%. The table

5. Recommended Improvements
5.1 Background
The calibrated model was used to simulate projected demands in the study area to the year 2040.
Predicted results were compared with design criteria to identify areas where improvements will be
required. The following design criteria were used to judge system performance:
Minimum Pressure- 20 psi for fire flows and 30 psi for peak hour
Maximum Pressure- 150 psi
Maximum Velocities- 5 fps during peak hour
Pump stations should be able to supply maximum day demand with firm capacity, defined as
the capacity with the largest pump out of service
Storage should supply fire flows and the difference between peak hour and maximum day
demand
County policy is to design the distribution system to supply peak hour demands. Providing fire
flows is a secondary design criterion in certain areas where commercial and industrial
development is planned.
Initial modeling identified problem areas by simulating future demands with the existing pipe system.
Potential improvements were tested in subsequent simulations. In many instances multiple improvement
alternatives were reviewed and compared. Consideration was given to hydraulic performance, capital
cost, and input from county staff.
5.2 Major Improvements
We recommend several improvements which will address existing system deficiencies. SC BPS 1 has
extremely low suction pressures, particularly when both pumps are running. The model shows proposed
12-inch piping improvements (CIP 101) on the suction side of the pump station will increase pressures
and firm capacity. SCADA records show the pump station must regularly operate with both pumps
running during the summer, exceeding firm capacity. Construction of a new 4.8 mgd pump station (CIP
103) at the South Regional ground storage tank site will provide a new supply for SC Zone 3, and will
allow discontinuing use of SC BPS 3. Because SC BPS 3 is supplied from SC BPS 1, the required
pumping volume of SC BPS 1 will be drastically reduced. This will allow SC BPS 1 to continue to
operate within existing firm capacity through year 2040.
The proposed 4.8 mgd pump station will supply SC Zone 3, as well as the Ray Road area south of
Overhills Road. Previously, this area of Ray Road was supplied through a PRV from SC Zone 2. By
closing the PRV and installing piping to connect to SC Tank 3, the zone is strengthened and pumping
costs are reduced by eliminating energy lost through the PRV.

| Recommended Improvements 5-2
When SW BPS 3 operates at firm capacity, low pressures occur at a high elevation area on Highway 27
west of Mount Olive Church Road. We recommend a 20-inch pipe (CIP 102) from Metro Tank 6 to
Highway 27, which will reduce headloss in a portion of the existing 20-in pipe, and strengthen the
connection to the tank. We also recommend trimming the impellers of SW BPS 3 pumps #1 and #2 to
95% of current performance, or 2,400 gpm at 400’ head. Reducing the flow rate at firm capacity will
decrease headloss in the suction side piping and maintain minimum pressures.
Currently, low pressures occur along Raynor-McLamb Road north of Walker Road during peak hour
demand because of high headloss induced by flow to SC BPS 4. We recommend piping improvements
(CIP 104) on Elliot Bridge Road and Walker Road which will increase pressures by reducing headloss,
and improve firm capacity of SC BPS 4.
Figure 17 Pressure Increases with Capital Improvements
We recommend several improvements to meet future demands as system growth occurs. SCADA records
show that the Metro South high service pumps both operate on a regular basis, exceeding firm capacity.
However, Metro Zone 6 can also be supplied using the South Regional high service pumps and a control
valve located near Metro Tank 6. Future growth will require both sets of high service pumps to supply
more water, so we recommend upgrading the Metro South high service pumps (CIP 201) and a new 24-
inch main leaving the plant. The new main will provide much needed redundancy for the currently
overloaded 16-inch main, and will reduce pumping energy costs. The new main will reduce the head
conditions of the high service pumps, which will change the pump operating point. Therefore, the pump
and piping improvement should be implemented simultaneously.

Projected growth in SC Zone 2 will require additional equalizing storage. The existing standpipe has a
large portion of unusable volume due to low pressures, so a new 0.5 MG elevated storage tank (CIP
203) is recommended to replace the existing standpipe. A technical memo prepared by Hazen dated
January 13, 2015 provided recommendations for the available capacity of SC Zone 2. This memo was
prepared using assumptions for pump flow rates and pipe capacities, as the hydraulic model had not been
created at the time. Results from the hydraulic model show the technical memo assumptions were
conservative, and the available capacity of SC Zone 2 is 1.34 mgd average day demand, 2.22 mgd
maximum day demand, and 4.45 peak hour demand. Additional storage will be required when demands
approach these levels.
The South Regional high service pump usage will increase as demands grow in the southern portion of
the distribution system, and as more water is sold to Ft. Bragg and Spring Lake. Eventually, the firm
capacity of the high service pumps will be reached, at which time improvements should be made to
increase the firm capacity (CIP 301). The model shows that higher flow rates will increase pressures at
the water plant, and pressures will exceed the 150 psi pipe pressure rating in the 30-inch pipe at Upper
Little River. Approximately 2,500 linear feet of pipe will require replacement with higher strength pipe
before South Regional high service pump flows reach 18 mgd.

5.3 General Recommendations
South Central Zone 4
TAZ demand projections showed minor growth in SC Zone 4, corresponding to 0.16 mgd maximum day
demand through year 2040. This growth is within the capacity of the existing tank and pump station that
currently supply the zone. County staff indicated there is possible interest in a new development within
SC Zone 4 over and above the TAZ projections. Depending on the size of this development, pump station
and storage improvements may be required to accommodate large growth. Additionally, upstream
capacity may be limited and require additional improvements. We recommend reviewing SC Zone 4
capacity if maximum day demand increases more than 0.16 mgd.
Ab andon Southwest Storage Tanks
Storage analysis for the Southwest pressure zone indicates that only 40% of the existing storage in this
zone is required to satisfy demands in year 2040. Excessive storage can contribute to water quality
problems as tanks tend to exhibit low turnover, particularly in standpipes. We recommend removing SW
Tank 2 from service, as only 30% of the tank volume is usable. We also recommend removing SW Tank
1 from service, as it is 115 feet lower than the other tanks in the zone and provides minimal hydraulic
benefit. Golf Drive is currently served directly from SW Tank 1 and isolated at Carolina Way by a closed
valve. This valve should be opened to connect Golf Drive to Carolina Way.
Fire Protection Less Than 500 GPM
Kentucky Derby Lane has poor fire protection because it is currently part of a reduced pressure area
supplied by a PRV on Hwy 27. Kentucky Derby Lane can be connected to the main Southwest Zone
without creating excessive pressures. We recommend shifting the reduced pressure area boundary on
Docs Road north of Kentucky Derby Lane, which will improve available fire flows.
The eastern portion of SC Zone 2 has poor fire protection due to long, dead end pipes. We recommend
installing a check valve at the intersection of Darroch Road and Elliott Bridge Road which will open in a
fire and allow water to flow from SC Zone 1. We also recommend installing a check valve at the
intersection of Lemuel Black Road and Anderson Creek School Road. This check valve will connect to
SC Zone 3.
The majority of SC Zone 4 has poor fire protection because it is supplied by a single 8-inch pipe that
extends from SC Tank 4 to the east. Existing connections crossing Little River at Hwy 401 and Mill Road
are closed to form a zone boundary. If open, these connections would improve fire protection in the
eastern part of SC Zone 4. However, during certain hydraulic conditions water would flow through these
connections and overflow SC Tank 4. We recommend installing a PRV at each of these locations to
improve fire protection.

Hazen Project No. 31243-000
| Recommended Improvements 5-5
Southwest Zone High Pressure
The model shows that pressures along Plantation Drive and Centennial Parkway will increase when
running 2 pumps at the South Regional Pump Station. We recommend installing a PRV at Plantation
Drive and at Centennial Parkway to reduce pressures below 150 psi. A line valve on Sawyer Road must
be closed to prevent flows from bypassing the Cencennial Parkway PRV.
Pressure Zone Boundaries
Field testing results indicated an open zone boundary on Byrds Pond Road and on Josey Williams Road.
We recommend closing a line valve at each road to close the zone boundary, which will reduce pump
runtimes and save energy.
Transmission Main Connections
While building the the hydraulic model, it was noted that many larger diameter pipes were installed
without connections to smaller piping, and therefore perform independently of the surrounding system
pipes. Connecting transmission and grid piping can provide several benefits, including increasing fire
protection, stabilizing pressures during peak demands, balancing pipe flows, and saving energy by
reducing friction loss. We recommend installing such connections in several areas of the system,
including:
Intersection of Highway 87 and Centennial Parkway (20-inch to 8-inch)
Intersection of Highway 24 and Highway 27
Proposed CIP project to serve the Western Harnett Industiral Park (WHIP) to the existing
smaller piping near the WHIP entrance.
SW BPS 3 Operation and Ground Storage
Field testing revealed surge problems related to SW BPS 3 pump operation. We recommend adjustments
to the pump control valve operation so that the pumps and control valves operate as follows:
Startup- Start pump and allow to reach full speed before opening valve. Implement a valve opening
speed of 60 to 90 seconds.
Shutdown- Implement a valve closing speed of 60 to 90 seconds. Make sure valve is completely shut
before pumps are stopped.
Low pressures were also noted along Highway 27 while the pump station was operating at firm capacity.
The improvements outlined in CIP Project 102 will increase minimum pressures above 20 psi along
Highway 27.
Currently the SW BPS 3 firm capacity exceeds the flow requirements of the SW pressure zone, which
allows the pumps to cycle on and off. We considered new ground storage located on the suction side of
SW BPS 3 which would help equalize the flow demands at SW BPS 3, stabilize pressures, and provide
redundancy in the event of failure of the 20-inch pipe along Highway 27. Filling the ground storage tank

| Recommended Improvements 5-6
at a constant, slower rate would improve pressures in the 20-inch pipe along Highway 27, and would help
buffer suction side surges from pump starting and stopping.
However, a ground storage tank would also have drawbacks. As demands in the SW pressure zone
increase, the runtime of the pumps at SW BPS 3 will also increase. The usefulness of the ground storage
tank to equalize flows will diminish as the operation of the pump station approaches firm capacity.
Additional storage will also increase water age and potentially reduce water quality.
The capacity of a new ground storage tank should be as small as possible to minimize water age while
meeting the goals of additional system redudancy. A 1 MG tank will allow one small pump (4 mgd) to
run for 6 hours. A pressure sustaining control valve should be installed to control the fill rate of the tank
and ensure pressures above 20 psi are maintained.
5.4 Phasing of Improvements
Recommended improvements are presented in three phases with the following target years: 2020, 2030,
and 2040. 2020 projects are denoted as 100 series, 2030 projects are 200 series, and 2040 projects are 300
series.
The model simulated 2040 maximum day demand and 2040 peak hour demand to determine the
necessary improvements at the design condition. Simulations for 2030 and 2020 were used to establish
the phasing of these improvements. Design of 2020 improvements should begin immediately as they are
need to correct existing deficiencies. Actual project dates for 2030 and 2040 improvements should be
adjusted depending on actual growth as noted on each project sheet.
