Briar Chapel is in a primarily rural setting where no wastewater treatment facility existed in the vicinity. McAdams served as the lead for the permitting of a 750,000 gpd on-site reclamation treatment facility and spray irrigation system through NCDENR Land Application Unit. McAdams also designed and permitted two initial pump stations (371 gpm & 673 gpm) and developed the preferred routing for the gravity collection system to the initial pump stations and the force main from the larger pump station to the reclamation facility approximately one mile away. Design of the initial water system for Briar Chapel involved coordination with Chatham County for connection to the Chatham County water system. Working with the proposed land plan, McAdams developed the preferred routing to create an efficient and effective water system into and through the Briar Chapel Community to create a looped water system that serves as the “spine” from which the various Briar Chapel residential pod networks feed. This effort also involved a considerable hydraulic modeling effort to ensure that Briar Chapel would have sufficient flow and capacity not only for the phases under construction but also for future phases as build out progressed.
