City of Reidsville Collection System

I. Description of Collection System
The City of Reidsville's wastewater collection system currently consists of 93.64 miles of gravity lines with
approximately 6,500 service connections. In addition there are 17 pump stations with approximately 12
miles of force main lines.
The Sewer Collection division of Public Works is responsible for maintenance of the gravity lines in the
system.That division consists of 4 full time employees who routinely flush the mains to prevent blockages
and also handle maintenance needs on service lines within public right of way provided a cleanout at the
property line is available.As part of their maintenance activities they mow outfall easements and maintain
access to these areas.Line repairs and replacement along with installation of new lines are also handled by
this division.
In 2013 the pump stations were maintained under contract with a private company. The City terminated
the contract operation and maintenance agreement with the private contractor on December 31st 2013 and
immediately resumed municipal responsibility for the system.The City hired a Lead Mechanic to oversee
the maintenance operations of the Water Plant, Wastewater Plant, and Pump Stations.Also hired were 2
mechanics dedicated to the maintenance of the Pump Stations.Their responsibilities are to insure proper
operation of the lift stations by testing backup systems and performing preventative maintenance on the
pumps and electronic controls.

II. Compliance Performance
The wastewater collection system had 2 sewer spills in 2014.Following is a summary of the events.
March 31,2014
The City of Reidsville had an untreated wastewater discharge from its collection system on an outfall line
near Ridgewood Ave. Public Works employees found the problem during their normal rounds.They used
the 4x4 flusher truck to flush the line to remove the blockage. The spill was thought to be caused by an
accumulation of grease being released from a residential tap. The calculated discharge of approximately
750 gallons lasted approximately 12 hours and ended on March 31, 2014. Approximately 750 gallons
reached a ditch leading to a tributary Little Troublesome Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin.FOG literature
was distributed to local residents.
December 9,2014
The City of Reidsville had an untreated wastewater discharge from its collection system on an outfall
between North and South Woodleigh Ave. A partial blockage was detected that caused wastewater to
discharge through an unused and damaged 4"service line.The 4x4 flush truck was used to flush the line to
relieve the blockage and the 4"service line was disconnected and plugged at the main.The discharge lasted
approximately 24 hours and ended on December 10, 2014.Approximately 750 gallons of untreated waste
reached a ditch leading to a tributary of Little Troublesome creek in the Cape Fear River Basin.Just prior to
the event the FOG Coordinator had set up a promotional display at a local grocery store.After the event the
FOG Coordinator distributed 100 FOG brochures and promotional items to residents of the Reidsville
Housing Authority which is just upstream of the spill location.
III. Certification
I certify under penalty of law that this report is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I
further certify that this report has been made available to the users of customers of the City of Reidsville
System and those users have been notified of its availability.

II. Description of Treatment Process
The wastewater discharged by the Reidsville Water Plant is generated by the filter backwash operation.
The filter backwash is settled in two lagoons and discharged through Pipe 002. The settled water is
discharged from either one or both lagoons by use of telescopic valves located in each of the two lagoons.
The wastewater travels through the valves and empties into a wet well where it is pumped out by one of
two submersible pumps. The wastewater is dechlorinated by the addition of sodium bisulfate or calcium
thiosulfate prior to discharging to Little Troublesome Creek.Sludge,which is settled from the wastewater,
is pumped out of the lagoons by use of a floating dredge. While the slurry is being pumped through the
dredge,polymer is injected in the line to the sludge slurry and the dewatered sludge is deposited in a sand
drying bed adjacent to the lagoons. The sludge is allowed to dry to a denser cake and is periodically
collected and disposed of.
III. Compliance Performance
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) • and the
Division of Water Resources (DWR)regulates the City of Reidsville's effluent discharge under the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The NCDENR issued to the City a
NPDES Permit, which includes water quality limits, sampling and monitoring requirements. The
NPDES Permit requires the City to test more than 6 different constituents in the treated water.The
monitoring frequency for these constituents are set at various intervals such as continuous,daily,

weekly, monthly and quarterly. During the previous year, the City conducted 163 tests of the
treated water before it was discharged to the creek.The WTP achieved a compliance level of 92%
with the NPDES Permit requirements with two NOV's (notice of violation). Following is a
summary of the testing for the parameters, which are assigned Water Quality standards by the
NPDES Permit. Please note the summary does not include parameters, which incorporates a
monitoring requirement only,nor does it include daily process control testing.

II. Description of Treatment Process
The City of Reidsville, North Carolina, operates a 7' million gallon per day (MGD) design capacity
wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The facility treats a combination of industrial and domestic
wastewaters with the industrial fraction representing approximately 46%of the incoming waste flow.The
facility is currently processing approximately 2.17MGD of wastewater.The unit processes in the treatment
scheme include preliminary treatment,activated sludge biological treatment with the chemical addition of
• powdered activated carbon (PAC) and secondary clarification followed by tertiary filtration. The treated
effluent is chlorinated / dechlorinated and is discharged to the Haw River, a tributary of the Cape Fear
River Basin. Aerobic digestion is provided to biologically stabilize the waste sludge. The stabilized liquid
sludge is then land applied by a certified contractor to approved application sites. On occasion, sludge is
dewatered and disposed of in a landfill.
III. Compliance Performance
• The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) regulate the
City of Reidsville's effluent discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
(NPDES).The NCDENR issued to the City a NPDES Permit,which includes water quality limits,
sampling and monitoring requirements.The NPDES Permit requires the City to test more than 27
different constituents in the treated water.The monitoring frequency for these constituents are
set at various intervals such as continuous,daily,weekly,monthly and quarterly.During the

previous year,the City conducted 1,548 tests of the treated water before it was discharged to the
creek.In addition to the required testing,the City conducted over 3,900 in-house tests to ensure
proper operation of the wastewater treatment plant.The WWTP achieved a compliance level of
100%with the NPDES Permit requirements. Following is a summary of the testing for the
parameters,which are assigned Water Quality standards by the NPDES Permit Please note the
summary does not include parameters,which incorporates a monitoring requirement only,nor
does it include daily process control testing.

permit butshall continue to be monitored as part of the pretreatment LTMP.
4 Mercury was removed from the permit as of June 1,2013.Mercury will instead be tested as a part of
the Priority Pollutant Scan.
s On June 1, 2013 per the new permit,the frequency of testing for copper,zinc and fluoride was
reduced to quarterly.The copper and zinc testing should coincide with the quarterly toxicity testing.
Summary of Permit Violations
