The sanitary system (which is fully
separate from the storm sewer system) at Fort Hancock
is functional and sized appropriately to accommodate the
anticipated future development. Gravity-fed distribution
pipes bring sanitary waste to a pump station. From there,
sanitary waste is fed by a force main into the park’s
wastewater treatment plant. NPS maintains the collection
and force main system, and the Lessee will be responsible
for repairs to the lateral system from the building to
the main trunk line. The Lessee will have the sanitary
sewer lateral line videoed, tested, and inspected by a
qualified licensed plumber and an inspection report with
recommendations will be submitted to NPS for approval.
The Lessee will be required to make any repairs to the
sanitary sewer prior to occupying the building. If any
pipe is collapsed the pipe is required to be replaced with
AWWA C900 DR-18 PVC pressure pipe. All connections
to the trunk line and from the building shall be made
using standard couplings and transition fittings. Areas
may be of open cut construction and require NEPA and
Section 106 compliance. Archeology monitoring shall be
paid for by the tenant. Asphalt and concrete repair and
ground repairs, i.e. seeding costs, must be borne by the
tenant and will be subject to the NEPA/106 compliance
process. If the video shows a deteriorated pipe, the park
may allow that the pipe to be lined in lieu of open cut
construction replacement. Any repairs will require park
approval of plan and schedule. All work will be completed
according to the latest New Jersey Code and constructed
to industry standards.
