Lon and Jenny,
I just want to follow up on the email I sent to you guys on May 13, 2020 about bypassing the wastewater
treatment plant (WWTP) outfall to connect the generator for the effluent pumps to Duke Energy
transformer and electrical panels. With the assistance of Duke Energy, Watson Electrical successfully
completed the work yesterday (May 27, 2020). In the meantime, the City of Reidsville WWTP discharged
approximately 1.434 million gallons of treated wastewater into Little Troublesome Creek from 8:00 am
to 5:00 pm.
Should you guys have any questions or need additional information please feel free to contact me at 336
349 1102 or at [e-mail].
Thanks,

Jenny,
I think I will meet my effluent limitations. However, any violation of the effluent standards under the current
NPDES permit will be reported to you or Lon and also included in the final report.

Ben,
Can you state whether or not this bypass will cause effluent limitations to be exceeded?
Thank you,

Lon,

As mentioned in our response to the Notice of Violation (NOV-2019-PC-0714) for discharging treated
wastewater into Little Troublesome Creek, the City of Reidsville has purchased a generator to power its
wastewater treatment plant effluent pumps during power outage. The construction started in December
2019 and was delayed for a few reasons. We have resumed work and are expecting a shutdown of
approximately 12 hours on Wednesday, May 27, 2020 to connect the generator to the main power
line. During that shutdown, the treated wastewater will be discharged into Little Troublesome Creek. A
complete report will be sent to you afterward. Also, I would like to reiterate that the City will seal off the
old pipe that discharges the effluent into Little Troublesome Creek upon completion of the project.
Should you have any questions please feel free to contact me at 336 349 1102 or at
[e-mail].
Thanks,
BEN BANI
