Description of Collection System or Treatment Process:
The wastewater discharged by the Southern Pines Water Plant is generated by the
filter backwash operation. The filter backwash enters a 180,000 gallon • circular
sedimentation basin. The water is allowed to settle and sludge concentrates on. a
conical shape bottom. The sludge that settles is conditioned and transferred via
two 200 gpm sludge pumps to one of six 300 foot sand drying beds. The clarified
water is collected at the top of .the basin through two ports, one at the top of the
column and one 12 feet below the surface. Normal operations have the second
level closed and the top port open. The clarified effluent is collected in .a pump
chamber and with sufficient level increase, is pumped to discharge via two 800 gpm
discharge pumps. The flow is metered by a mechanical meter on an "6" inch
discharge line. The effluent enters Aberdeen Creek approximately 2 miles away.
II. Compliance Performance
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR) regulates the Town of Southern Pines effluent discharge under the .
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES).' The NCDENR
