BATH WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT
FEASIBILITY STUDY
PURPOSE:
This study establishes preliminary estimates for present and future wastewater
treatment needs, determines the feasibility of constructing a wastewater
treatment plant to meet this need and identifies alternatives for wastewater treatment.
The Town Council of Bath adopted "The Land Use Plan for Historic Bath:. 1980-
1990" (LUP) on October 12, 1981. The Plan established an overall growth policy
for the Town of Bath as follows:
"GOAL: To achieve desired levels, types, and patterns of economic and community
development which are consistent with the historic character of -the Town,
raise local employment levels, and otherwise contribute to the local
economic base, so as to implement the Land Classification Map."
(LUP, page 34)
To reach this goal, the Town assumes the responsibility of providing a full level
of urban services. To this end, the following LUP objective was adopted:
"OBJECTIVE:
To ddvelop•the Town's capacity to provide selected services to development, so
that development is stimulated (within the means available), so that the tax
.burden is kept fair, and that the prime beneficiary (the developer) pay an
equitable share of the costs."
(LUP, page 36)
To meet this objective, the LUP calls for further studies on alternatives for
the treatment of wastewater and to "develop a clear policy of providing extension
of services as capacity increases and services become available".. (LUP, page 36).
This study is one of the initial steps taken to carry out the objectives of
Bath's Land Use Plan.
METHODOLOGY:
The estimates contained in this study are based upon the findings contained within
the Bath LUP and from a systematic field survey conducted on December 10 with
Bobby O'Neal, County Environmental Health Officer, Robert Kent, P.E., Wastewater
Design Engineer, and Terry Alford, Planner. Field survey data relied heavily
on the professional judgement and experience of Mr. O'Neal, who has been responsible
for issuance of permits for septic tank systems in the Bath area for the past
18 years, and from Mr. Kent, who has been responsible for the design of municipal
waste treatment systems for over 25 years. Estimated gallon per day building
discharge rates were established for four categories of use which are: residential,
commercial/industrial, cultural/recreational,and institutional. In the case
of the residential category, Mr. O'Neal added a factor called "nature of present
household". That is, residential consumption was averaged down to reflect the
single occupant, elderly occupant, and seasonal use of many of the residential
structures of the Town.

Two study areas are analyzed. The "Town Area" boundary encompasses land within
the Bath Town limits and land immediately east (see map 1) to Back Creek. The
"Planning Area" boundary includes the Town of Bath plus the entire outlying area
as established in the LUP (see map 2).
Growth assumptions are derived from land classification projections and policy
directives derived from the LUP. Estimated future demand and land use needs
for the "Town Study Area" assumes a 1990 population of 283 persons or a total of
156 housing units, five additional commercial establishments and one industrial.
;For the "Planning Area", which includes the estimates for the "Town Study Area",
assumptions include'a 1990 population of about 400 persons or 218 total housing units
with a total of 26 commercial establishments, S:cultural/recreational, and
6 institutional (2.schools,and 4 churches).
An overall growth rate of 8.6% from 1980 to 1990 is assumed, which is consistent
with the Township growth figures for 1970-1980, within which Bath is located.
This assumes a "worst case" situation, i.e., peak period (seasonal summer
population) full capacity usage.
Construction cost estimates for a wastewater treatment plant assume installation
of a conventional collection and packaged treatment system, based on Mr. Kent's
experience in the supervision of construction of several similar units in eastern
North Carolina during the last three years. For purposes of comparison, inflation
factors were not included in projections for 1990.
EXISTING AND PROJECTED NEEDS:
Although the Town of Bath has witnessed a decline in its population over the last
fifty years, growth has occured in the outlying area by 86% within the last
ten years. The Town's 1980 population was 184 persons or about 110 households.
There are 12 commercial establishments, two schools and three churches. The
Town is served by individual septic tank -systems.
As indicated below, the existing (1980) total discharge for the "Town Study Area"
is 64,675 GPD with a total discharge of 92,875 GPD for the entire Planning
Area.

Even if the above efforts were carried out and reasonably successful over the
next 10 years, it is unlikely that more than 20% increase in development above
the previously stated projection, would be realized. Adding a demand of
• 36 more hookups (i.e. 20% increase) would still leave a $12,700/unit
cost which remains too high.
Should the Planning Commission decide that a centralized tertiary waste
treatment plant is not feasible, it is recommended that the Town focus its
study on the identification of alternative waste treatment solutions.
Presently, installation of a conventional septic tank and absorption field
required a minimum lot size of 20,000. While this general standard has
been assumed effective in the past, the long term effects, as compounded
by an increase in the density of development (i.e. in fill on vacant lots),
have not been studied.
In order to better determine the feasibility.of alternative technological
solutions, the county office of the U.S.D.A. Soil Conservation Service was
visited. Basic soils data was retrieved with a goal of determining the
suitability of using conventional septic tank/aerobic field solutions for each
individual property dispersed throughout the Town. From the generalized.USDA,
Soil Conservation Service (SCS) maps for Beaufort County, it appears that
y much of the Town is characterized by Altovista fine sandy loam and loam
sand soil, providing severe limitations for septic tanks, sewage lagoons and
^� the like. Only a small 20 acre portion of the Town's southernmost section
has a slight to none soil limitation for septic tanks ("State Fine" sandy*
loam soil). Since these are "generalized" soil surveys, a site by site
analysis should preceed any final determination for septic tank suitability.
Based on field survey, it is the opinion of both Mr. Kent and Mr. O'Neal
that the existing septic tank systems are having minimal impact on water
quality in both Bath Creek and Back Creek. However, both feel that it is
necessary to secure accurate quantitative analysis of water quality in both
creeks to determine the precise types and sources of pollution.
It is also recommended that the municipal water system be tested for water
quality to determine what impact, if any, the present wastewater system in
Bath is having on the Town's water qualtiy. These factors would enter into
the assessment of need for either moving to a centralized waste treatment
plant or continuing development of individual septic tanks systems.
All consultants agreed that it would be desirable for the Town to undertake
"dye studies" utilizing potassium permanagnate dye, over a six month period,
to trace potential sources of pollution that might be derived from existing
waste treatment systems in the Town.

COST ESTIMATES:
Based on these preliminary findings, Mr. Robert Kent provided a preliminary
estimate of the cost of a small scale tertiary treatment plant, providing
package treatment, including effluent filters, to accommodate both existing
discharge levels and the proposed discharge levels in 1990 for the "Town
Study Area" and entire "Planning Area" (see maps 1 and 2).

handling system by the total number of (potential) existing hook-ups
within the "Town Study Area" (i.e. 1321 a total cost of about $9000 per hook-
up would be anticipated. The cost per hook-up projected for 1990 for the
entire Planning Area (based on Table II, and map 2) would be approximately
$15,000 (i.e. for each of the•existing 180 hook-ups). -These.cost figures
do not include individual consumer fees for direct hook-up to wastelines.

A treatment system that would serve the entire "Planning Area" as indicated
above and on map 2, is estimated to cost $2,686,320 or approximately'$13,500
for each of the anticipated 199 hook-ups.
CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
Based on the preliminary estimates of the cost of as centralized package waste
treatment system outlined above, it is apparent that this approach is very
costly and hence, not economically feasible. A $14,000 dollar per.building
assessment is not only well beyond the means of most of the Town's residents,
(21% of which are over 65 years of age and likely on fixed incomes)'but also
beyond the means of most newcomers, and consequently would limit growth,
raising the per unit costs well beyond $14,000.
There are, however, techniques to lower the overall cost of the proposed
centralized package treatment systems. They include:
1. Locate treatment plant closer to Town (outline savings, e.g. 5,000
LF @ $35/LF.)
2. Increase the density of development (resulting in less lineal feet
of pipe per building served).
3. Develop growth management strategies to limit "leap frog" type development.
4. Allow lower cost housing, such as mobile homes, so as to increase
population above projections.
5.. Develop recruitment plan to encourage commercial and industrial firms
to locate within the "Planning Area" (i.e. increase hook-up demand and
lower per unit cost).
w

In summary:
1) It -appears that a package waste treatment plant is not economically
feasible.
2) The majority of soils in the Town have severe limitations for acceptance
of traditional septic tanks and aerobic field solutions.
3) Although the Town's water quality appears satisfactory at this point
in time, increased development may cause an eventual overload of the
soil system, contaminating the Town's wells and creeks.
In light of these conclusions, it is our recommendation that the Town of
Bath undertake further work that would:
1) Identify the legal and regulatory authority of local governments to develop
and maintain small wastewater treatment systems.
2) Develop schematics and cost estimates for small innovative wastewater
systems for targeted areas within the Bath Planning Area.
3) Develop special ordinance provisions, model contracts and agreements as
may be necessary for approval of these wastewater systems, and
4) Identify funding sources and methods for financing small wastewater systems.
Financing of innovative wastewater treatment systems is a critical element
in the above suggested study. Given the variety of.natural constraints in
the area, the range of innovative wastewater treatment systems available and
respective costsland considering the Town's financial strength and potential
funding sources, it is anticipated that not one, but several financing schemes
may be utilized within the Town of Bath. A financing method should be
developed for and tailored to each sub -system area. As an example, a clustered
system (with forced main and common absorption field)may be financed from the
general fund with payments made upon hook-up, thus generating a revolving
fund that can be used to finance other sub -systems. The Town may wish to
sell general obligation bonds to finance a target area system with the burden
of payment falling only upon residents of that sub -system area. For lower
income neighborhoods, application for Federal or State assistance may be
appropriate.
As the costs per sub -system per area will vary, so also will the need and urgency.
It is anticipated that the Town would establish a "priority of development"
schedule whereby financial resources are focused in selected target areas.
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has published a pamphlet entitled
"Small Wastewater Systems, Alternative Systems for Small Communities and Rural
Areas" which describe and graphically displays twenty-one different small
innovative wastewater systems. Four of these alternative pictorials are
attached for your information (see Exhibit 1).
