Subject: NPDES Final Permit NCO024210
High Point Eastside WWTP
Facility Class IV
Guilford County
Dear Mr. Houk:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject
permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES permit. This permit is issued
pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum
of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated
October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
The Division received your comment letter on the draft permit and provides the following
responses:
• The expiration date on your permit was changed to December 31, 2018.
• Footnote 4 on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements table was modified
to include a statement explaining compliance for total residual chlorine based on reported
laboratory values.
• The statement in the draft letter indicating that quarterly monitoring for lead will be
required should have read that quarterly monitoring for nickel will be required. Lead
monitoring is not required in the permit.
• The required method for mercury was added in Section A.(7.) Effluent Pollutant Scan.
• The Division can't modify the total phosphorus limits at this time since these are based
on the Randleman Lake Rules, 15A NCAC 02B.0249 along with the results of modeling
done at the time the rule was established.
• Monitoring frequency for BOD, TSS, ammonia and fecal coliform was reduced to twice
per week.

• Instream monitoring requirements will remain unchanged. The frequencies specified in
the permit for instream monitoring follow monitoring frequencies established in 15A
NCAC 2B .0508. By participating in the Upper Cape Fear Basin Association the
permittee is exempted from the instream monitoring requirements in the permits. Data
collected through the monitoring program is valuable to the Division as it is used to
evaluate water quality in streams. Monitoring data for the Deep River obtained through .
ambient sampling will be used by the Division for future modeling efforts for the Cape
Fear River.
In addition please note that your final permit includes the following changes from the
previous permit:
• The latitude and longitude for the Ricl-land Creek discharge (Outfall 001) in the fact
sheet and map were verified and updated. The location represented by those coordinates
was in the Deep River.
• The numerical address of the facility on Riverdale Road is denoted on the supplement to
permit cover sheet.
• The Deep River outfall 002 is listed first on the supplement to permit cover sheet and the
phrase about construction of Randleman Reservoir has been removed.
• Twice per month monitoring for total cadmium, total lead, phenols, and cyanide has been
removed from the permit based on results of the reasonable potential analysis.
• The footnotes regarding chlorinated phenolic compounds and cyanide were removed
from A. (L) and A. (2.) based on these parameters no longer being monitored in the
permit.
• Footnote 5 in A. (L) and A. (2.) now states that toxicity monitoring shall coincide with
copper and zinc monitoring.
i
• The weekly average limit for total mercury was removed based on the results of the
mercury evaluation analysis. Based on the NC approved mercury TMDL and an
evaluation of data from 2008 through 2012, it was determined that no limit was required
for the protection of the NC water quality standard or the. technology based effluent limit.
It was determined that the facility would have to conduct a mercury minimization plan
(MMP) based on the number of detectable values above 1 ng/l. A special condition was
added requiring the completion of the MMP (See A. (8)).
• The weekly average and daily maximum limit for total nickel was removed based on the
results of the reasonable potential analysis which indicated no potential to exceed the
water quality standard in the Deep River or Richland Creek. However based on current
DWQ procedure, quarterly monitoring for nickel will be required based on the predicted
concentration being greater than 50% of the allowable concentration.

o _ Minor language changes to the chronic toxicity conditions A. (5.) and A. (6.) have been
made to reflect updates.
O Please note the following in the Special Condition A.(7.) Effluent Pollutant Scan:
1. Language has been updated to note three scans must be completed during the permit
cycle.
2. Mercury must be sampled using EPA i ethod 1631E.
3. DWQ Water Quality Section has been corrected to the Surface Water Protection
Section.
A special condition was added to your permit [See Special Condition A. (9.)] including
requirements for electronic reporting. Proposed federal regulations require electronic
submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and specify that, if a state does not
establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must submit DMRs
electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Division anticipates
that these regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation. For information
on eDMR, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit the
following web page: http://portal.nedenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr. For
information on EPA's proposed NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule, please visit the
following web site:
http://www2. epa.gov/compliance/proposed-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit
are 'unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request
within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a
written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed
with the Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina
27699-6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The
Division may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does
not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division
of Water Resources or permits required by the Division of Land Resources, the Coastal Area
Management Act or any other federal or local governmental permits that may be required.

Director) by December 31st of each designated sampling year. The report shall be submitted to the
Page 11 of 13
Permit NC0024210
following address: NCDENR/DWR/Central Files, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North
Carolina 27699-1617.
A. (8.) MERCURY MINIMIZATION PLAN (MMP)
The permmittee shall develop and implement a mercury minimization plan during this permit tern. The MMP
shall be developed within 180 days of the NPDES Permit Effective Date, and shall be available for
inspection on -site. A sample MMP was developed through a. stakeholder review process and has been
placed on the Division website for guidance (http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/swp/ps/npdes, under
Model Mercury Minimization Plan). The MMP should place emphasis on identification of mercury
contributors and goals for reduction. Results shall be summarized and submitted with the next permit
renewal.
A. (9.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and
specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals, then permittees must subunit
DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). The Division anticipates that these
regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation in late 2013.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this
permit (Standard ConditionsforNPDES Permits):
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting [Supersedes Section D. (2.) and Section E. (5.) (aA
Beginning no later than 90 days from the effective date of this permit, the permittee shall begin
reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge
Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter monitoring
data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's eDMR
application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation (CROMERR),
permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state electronically using
eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing, signing, and submitting one
signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the following address:
NC DENR / DWR / Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files / eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility
being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband access,
then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted and
Page 12 of 13
Permit NCO024210
discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or alternative forms
approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the mailing address above.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be submitted
in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the elate the facility would
be required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid for twelve (12)
months and shall thereupon expire. At such time, DMRs shall be submitted electronically to the
Division unless the permittee re -applies for and is granted a new temporary waiver by the Division.
Information on eDMR and application for a temporary waiver froin the NPDES electronic reporting
requirements is found on the following web page:
http: / /Vortal.ncdenr.org/web /wg /adinin/bog/ipu/edmr
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the
issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the
commencement of discharge.
2. Signatory Requirements [Supplements Section B. (11.) (b) and supersedes Section B. (11.) (d)]
All eDMRs submitted to the permit issuing authority shall be signed by a person described in Part II,
Section B. (11.)(a) or by a duly authorized representative of that person as described in Part II, Section
B. (11.)(b). A person, and not a position, must be delegated signatory authority for eDMR reporting
purposes.
For eDMR submissions, the person signing and submitting the DMR must obtain an eDMR user
account and login credentials to access the eDMR system. For more information on North Carolina's
eDMR system, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit the following
web page:
http: / /12ortal.ncdenr.org/web /wg /adinin /bog/ipu/edmr
Certification. Any person submitting an electronic DMR using the state's eDMR system shall make the
following certification [40 CFR 122.22]. NO OTHER STATEMENTS OF CERTIFICATION WILL
BE ACCEPTED:
"I cert�, underpenalty of law, that this document and all attachments were prepared under my direction or supervision in
accordance with a system designed to assure that gaaalified personnel properlygather and evaluate the information submitted.

Dear Ms. Nowell:
NORTH CAROLINKS INTERNATIONAL CITY`
The City of High Point has received and reviewed your letter dated June 5, 2013 and the accompanying
draft permit for the Eastside Wastewater Treatment Plant. There are items in your letter and the draft
permit that the City would like to bring to your attention and offer comments.
w! i I 1 �� The cover sheet to the draft permit states that the discharge permit will expire on August 31, 2016. The
Cdyt% permit cycle normally runs for five years; therefore the City respectfully requests that the permit
expiration date be changed to August 1, 2018.
Since DWQ has changed the Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) limit to 50 ug/I, the Daily Maximum Limit
listed on the effluent limitations page for the Deep River and Richland Creek Outfalls should be changed
from 18 ug/1 to 50 ug/l. In your letter you state that a footnote regarding the TRC change was added to
the draft permit on the effluent limitations page; however, the addition of the footnote must have been
an oversight because we could not find a footnote on this page. Also, at the top of the column for the
Deep River Outfall, the word "Daily Maximum" apparently was inadvertently left off.
14 1�� Page 2 of your letter states that quarterly monitoring for lead will be required based on the predicted
Ski concentration being greater than 50% of the allowable concentration; however, lead was not added to
the effluent limitations pages in the draft permit. Also for clarification it would be helpful to add the
�t .0i required method for mercury analysis in a footnote on the effluent limitations page of the permit.
The current NPDES permit that we are operating under became effective on February 1, 2007 and since
that time we have had only four monthly phosphorus concentration limit violations and no mass limit
violations for phosphorus. The pounds of phosphorus discharged to the receiving stream are a better
measure of the impact on the receiving stream; therefore, the City is requesting that our discharge ---i
permit have a mass based permit limit only. 'VKA-l�d

HIGH POINT, NC 27261
NORTH CAROLINNS INTERNATIONAL CITY"
In addition, based on our past history of compliance we do not see the need for a monthly average limit
and request that our phosphorus limit be changed to a,quarterly, average mass based limit.
As the attached graphs illustrate the Eastside WWTP Effluent BOD, TSS, NH3 and Fecal Coliform results
-wr have been consistently well below the NPDES effluent limits. Based on this past exceptional
Moat performance the City is requesting that the monitoring frequency of all four parameters be reduced to
two times per week in this permit cycle.
This same reasoning also applies to the frequency of the Upstream and Downstream sampling
I requirements in the draft permit. The past performance of the treatment plant has demonstrated no
significant impact on the receiving stream. Therefore, based on this past performance the stream
sampling frequency should be reduced to once per week in the summer and no sampling in the winter
or eliminated altogether.
The City appreciates the opportunity to comment on the draft permit and if you have any questions
regarding our comments, please feel free to contact me.
Sincerely,
Terry Houk

Summary
The City of High Point requested renewal of the permit for the High Point Eastside WWTP. The
renewal application was received on February 24, 2011. The High Point Eastside permit expired on
August 30, 2011 and has been administratively extended. The Eastside facility serves the City of
High -Point, the Town of Archdale, and Jamestown/Sedgefield for a total population of 86,639
persons.
The treatment system consists of three mechanical bar screens, vortex grit removal system, five
primary clarifiers, equalization basin, two aerated equalization basins, two equalization/sludge
storage tanks, four anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic aeration tanks, four secondary clarifiers, six effluent
filters (two deep bed, four dual media), UV disinfection, three Parshall flumes, effluent pump station,
post aeration channel
Per the 2011 application, before May 2008, the Eastside WWTP discharged into Richland Creek,
Outfall 001. After completion and testing of the effluent pump station, the plant began to discharge
into the channel of the Deep River in the Randleman Reservoir through Outfall 002. Outfall 001
remains as a permitted outfall, but is used only on rare occasions that the effluent pump station is
taken out of service for maintenance.
There are currently 8 Significant Industrial Users and 12 Categorical Industrial Users discharging to
the Eastside WWTP with a total permitted flow of 1.11 MGD. They have a full pre-treatment program.
The last pretreatment compliance evaluation in September 2012 rated the program as compliant and

extremely reliable. This permit recommends that High Point.continue to operate its approved pre-
treatment program.
Waste Load Allocation (this info submitted in the 2006 factsheet)
A Waste Load allocation was developed in 1999 for the expansion to 26 MGD. BOD5, NH3N, DO,,
total nitrogen and total phosphorus are water quality limited. Limits for total phosphorus and total
nitrogen were established in 1998 under the Randleman Lake Watershed Nutrient Reduction Strategy
and approved by the Environmental Management Commission. Based on a nutrient response model
for -the proposed lake a total phosphorus limit of 0.5 mg/L as a monthly average and total nitrogen of
6 mg/L during the summer was determined appropriate to protect water quality. As indicated in the
Hearing Officer's Summary. from September 1998, the phosphorus limit was implemented as a
monthly average not as a quarterly average because due to the, size and hydrology of the reservoir
and the availability of the phosphorus for algal growth, having quarterly limits would enable
excursions of phosphorus levels, especially during the growing seasons, which could result in algal
bloom conditions at unaccepted levels. The rule originally proposed a total phosphorus limit of 0.1
mg/L; the limit was increased to 0.5 mg/L when the proposed discharge location was moved to the
Deep River at Freeman Mill. The Hearing Officer's Summary also proposed that the rule do not
include numeric limitations and that the Environmental Management Commission be involved in any
future decision which may increase phosphorus above the mass loading at 26 MGD and 0.5 mg/L.
Rule 15 A NCAC 026.0249 requires mass and concentration limits for phosphorus and nitrogen.
TMDL only applies to discharge into Richland Creek since it is listed on the NC 2012 303d list for
impaired streams. Note that the discharge into Richland Creek from Outfall 001 is periodic and only
during emergency situations. From the 2006 factsheet - A TMDL was approved in 2004. Data
collected indicates that urban source contributions, such as leaking sewer -pipes and septic systems,
are a significant source of much of the fecal coliform impairment. Additional fecal coliform loading
from nonpoint sources such- as stormwater runoff also appear to contribute to instream
concentrations. The TMDL reductions for fecal coliform should be sought through identification and
repair of aging sewer and septic systems and removal of SSOs. Implementation should also target
storm -driven sources such as runoff from residential areas and agricultural land. The City of High
Point has completed several sewer rehabilitation projects.
Notices of Violation (NOVs) Since February 2007, the overall compliance has been good,
however there have been some NOVs and one enforcement case. There was a.NOV for ammonia in
April 2008. There have been several NOVs issued for exceedances of the monthly total phosphorus
limit. These occurred in September and October 2011, June 2012, and March 2013. The most
recent facility inspection was in November 2012 and the facility was rated compliant for compliance
evaluation and rated as satisfactory in the facility evaluation.
Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) Test
Existing limits: Outfall 001 @ Richland Creek Chronic limit at 90% (Ceriodaphnia Pass/Fail);
Outfall 002 @ Deep River Chronic limit at 85% (Ceriodaphnia Pass/Fail);
Quarterly testing conducted in January, April, July, and October.
Prior to the 2008 relocation, the Eastside facility discharged into Richland Creek with a chronic
toxicity limit of 90%. From the permit effective date of February 2007 to May 2008, there were five
chronic toxicity tests. There were failures in July and October 2007. The facility passed in January
and April 2008 before the relocation to Deep River was completed.
The relocation to Outfall 002 was completed in May 2008, therefore the chronic test with a limit of
85% became effective. Since May 2008, there have been twenty.(20) toxicity tests and the facility
has passed all twenty (20).
Recommendation: Continuation of Chronic toxicity limit at 85% (Deep River discharge),
quarterly testing in January, April, July and October.

City of High Point is a member of the Upper Cape Fear River Basin Association (UCFRBA) and
therefore individual instream monitoring requirements are waived as long as the City is a member.
The memorandum of agreement between the UCFRBA and DWQ was renewed May 1, 2010 and is
effective until April 30, 2015. The UCFRBA conducts instream monitoring for its membership and
compiles data for review and evaluation.
A review of data sampled from January 2006 to December 2010 for Association stations for Richland
Creek and Deep River that corresponded to the sites in the permit. Station B435000- Deep River at
SR1113 showed some violations of the dissolved oxygen standard. All other field parameters, metals
and nutrients were below water quality standards. Station B4614500 — Randleman Lake at SR 1921
B1350000- the only water quality standard exceedences were for turbidity, all other parameters were
below the water quality standards.

Mercury data evaluation
A mercury TMDL was approved by US EPA in October 2012 and has been implemented for this draft
permit. The table below summarizes the available mercury data to determine whether limit or
monitoring is required.

Per the mercury TMDL guidance, if there are no exceedances of the technology based effluent limit
(TBEL) or water quality based effluent limit (WQBEL) as in this case, then mercury monitoring (using
Method 1631 E) conducted in the three (3) required effluent pollutant scans is sufficient.
In addition, because there are multiple mercury measurements above 1 ng/L, and this is a major
municipal facility with a permitted flow greater than 2.0 MGD, a special condition requiring that the
facility develop a mercury minimization plan (MMP) has been added in the draft permit.
PROPOSED MODIFICATIONS
• The numerical address of the facility on Riverdale Road is denoted on the supplement to
permit cover sheet.
• The Deep River outfall 002 is listed first on the supplement to permit cover sheet and the
phrase about construction of Randleman Reservoir has been removed.
• Twice per month monitoring for total cadmium, total lead, phenols, and cyanide has been
removed from the permit based on results of the reasonable potential analysis that
indicated that monitoring is no longer required. The data showed no potential to exceed the
water quality standards in Deep River or Richland Creek.
• The footnotes regarding chlorinated phenolic compounds and cyanide were removed from .
A.(1.) and A.(2.) based on these parameters no longer being monitored in the permit.
• Footnote 5 in A.(1.) and A.(2.) now states that toxicity monitoring shall coincide with copper
and zinc monitoring.
• The weekly average limit for total mercury was removed based on the results of the mercury
evaluation analysis. Based on the NC approved mercury TMDL and an evaluation of data
from 2008 through 2012, it was determined that no limit was required for the protection of
the NC water quality standard or the technology based effluent limit. It was determined that
the facility would have to conduct a mercury minimization plan (MMP) based on the number
of detectable values above 1 ng/I. A special condition was added requiring the completion
of the MMP (See A.(8.)).
The weekly average and daily maximum limit for total nickel was removed based on the
results of the reasonable potential analysis which indicated no potential to exceed the water
quality standard in the Deep River or Richland Creek. However based on current DWQ
procedure, quarterly monitoring for lead will be required based on the predicted
concentration being greater than 50% of the allowable concentration. (per DWQ
memorandum 7/15/2010 re: Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances).
• Minor language changes to the chronic toxicity conditions A.(5.) and A.(6.) have been made
to reflect updates.

In Special Condition A.(7.). Effluent Pollutant Scan, the language has been updated to note
three scans must be completed during -the-permit cycle, mercury must be sampled using
EPA Method 1631 E and DWQ Water Quality Section has been corrected to the Surface
Water Protection Section.

Subject: City of High Point Eastside WWTP
Permit Renewal Application
NPDES #NC0024210, Guilford County
Dear Mrs. Sprinkle:
NORTH CAROLINNS INTERNATIONAL CITY`'
The NPDES permit for the City of High Point Eastside WWTP expires on August 31, 2011. In accordance
with State and Federal regulations, the City is requesting NPDES renewal for the subject facility. This
permit renewal application includes: Form 2A, Application Overview; Part D, Expanded Effluent Testing
Data; Part E, Toxicity Testing: Biomonitoring Data; Part F, Industrial User Discharges and RCLA/CERCLA
Wastes; and other supplemental information as required and/or needed.
The Eastside WWTP has two permitted discharges; Outfall 001, Richland Creek, and Outfall 002, Deep
River. Prior to May 2008 the Eastside WWTP discharged into Richland Creek, Outfall 001. After
completion of the Effluent Pump Station and testing of the new pumping station the plant began to
discharge into the channel of the Deep River in the Randleman Reservoir, Outfall 002. Outfall 001
remains as a permitted outfall, but is used only on the rare occasion that the Effluent Pump Station has
to be taken out of service for maintenance.
We look forward to working with you on the renewal of Eastside's NPDES permit. Please contact me at
336-883-3166 or John Hodges, Wastewater Plants manager, at 336-822-4730 if you need any
additional information.
Sincerely,
Terry L. Houk

City of High Point
Sludge Management Plant
Eastside WWTP
The City of High Point has a Residual Management Division to manage the solids from
the Eastside WWTP, Westside WWTP and the Ward Water Plant. The process of sludge
disposal for the Eastside WWTP is dewatering and incineration.
Solids handling facilities consist of three dissolved air flotation (DAF) thickeners, two
sludge blending tanks, one sludge storage tanks, two centrifuges, an incinerator, an ash
lagoon for ash storage, and associated pumps and process equipment.
Waste activated sludge is pumped to the DAF units for thickening. The solids content of
the WAS is approximately 1% prior to thickening and about 3.5% after thickening. The
thickened sludge is then pumped to the sludge blending tanks. Thickened primary
sludge, approximately 3.5% solids, is also pumped to the sludge blending tanks. A total
of approximately 50,000-100,000 gallons per day of WAS and primary sludge is pumped
to the sludge blending tanks.
The sludge from the sludge blending tanks will be pumped to the centrifuges for
dewatering. The dewatered sludge, approximately 25% - 27% cake, from the centrifuges
is conveyed to incinerator with the resulting ash going to two ash lagoons. The ash will
be removed from the ash lagoons and dried on the ash drying pad with the ultimate
disposal at the City of High Point's composting facility or it is taken to a brick
manufacturer.
If there is a failure of the incinerator or the two centrifuges, sludge can be stored in the
sludge blending tanks and the sludge storage tank for approximately 22 days. If just the
incinerator is out of service, the sludge could continue to be dewatered. Once dewatered,
the sludge could be trucked to a lined landfill or stored until the incinerator was fixed.
If the centrifuge at Westside WWTP is down for several days, liquid sludge may be
transported by tanker, on a temporary basis, to the Eastside WWTP and pumped into the
sludge blending tanks. It is then dewatered with the Eastside WWTP solids and
incinerated.

DESCRIPTION OF PLANT FACILITIES
City of High Point Eastside WWTP
NPDES Permit #NC0024210
The Eastside WWTP provides tertiary treatment of the wastewater using the activated
sludge process followed by effluent filters. The activated sludge process operates in the
biological nutrient removal (BNR) mode to provide nitrogen and phosphorous reduction
to meet stringent requirements for discharge of effluent to Randleman Lake. Following
the activated sludge stage, additional solids and organic material are removed by effluent
filters. The effluent is then disinfected by ultraviolet light prior to discharge. Waste
activated sludge is thickened by dissolved air flotation (DAF) thickening. Primary sludge
can be thickened in two fermentation tanks or sent directly to two sludge blending tanks
for blending with waste activated sludge prior to dewatering, incineration and disposal of
incinerator ash in compost material or in brick manufacturing.
Raw wastewater enters the plant through a junction box, from which the flow is fed to the
Preliminary Treatment Facilities through a 66-inch diameter line. From the Preliminary
Treatment Facilities, thy& s -legs through the entire treatment plant by gravity.
The bar screens at the Preliminary Treatment Facilities consist of three mechanically -
cleaned scre s and one manually -cleaned screen for backup. The screens remove rags,
sticks, and other large objects to prevent clogging and interference with operation of
downstream pumps and other process equipment.
From the bar screens, the wastewater flows through two channels to the grit collectors.
Two stirred vortex grit collectors operate in parallel for removal of sand and other heavy
inorganic particles. t removal is provided to reduce abrasion on downstream
equipment and to minimize reductions in process efficiency due to accumulation of
inorganic material in process units. Grit cyclones and grit classifiers are provided to
remove organic material from the settled grit. The grit is then deposited in a dumpster for
ultimate disposal in a landfill.
Five primary clarifiers are provided and are designed to remove a portion of the influent
9OD5 and suspended solids to reduce the organic loading on the biological nutrient
removal activated sludge system. Sludge collectors in each clarifier move the settled
solids to a hopper, from which it is removed and pumped to the fermentation tanks or the
sludge blending tanks. The fermentation tanks are used to break down the primary
sludge to produce a fermentation liquor with volatile fatty acids for the BNR activated
sludge process. After fermentation, the primary sludge is pumped to the sludge blending
tanks. Floating material, or scum, is also removed in the primary clarifiers. Scum pumps
are provided to pump the scum into the discharge line for the primary sludge pumps for
treatment with the primary sludge.
After primary settling, the wastewater flows to the activated sludge stage. The primary
effluent can also be directed to the flow equalization facilities, which consist of a flow
equalization basin, two aerated equalization basins, and two equalization/sludge storage
tanks. The flow equalization facilities can be used to reduce peak flows to the biological
treatment facilities during wet weather conditions and to reduce the effects of diurnal
flows.
The BNR activated sludge stage consists of the anaerobic/anoxic/aeration (AAA) tank,
the nitrified recycle (NRCY) pumps, the final clarifiers, and the return activated sludge
(RAS) pump stations. Primary effluent first enters the AAA tanks, where biological
activity takes place under anaerobic, anoxic (mixed only), and aerated conditions for
phosphorus removal; removal of BOD5i complete nitrification; and denitrification. Four
AAA tanks are normally in service at all times. The aerated portions of the four tanks are
aerated by a fine bubble diffused air aeration system. The anaerobic and anoxic zones in
the AAA tanks are mixed by vertical mixers, which provide mixing without adding
oxygen to the mixed liquor. Mixed liquor recycle is provided by nitrified recycle pumps,
which pump mixed liquor from the end of the aerobic, or nitrification, zone to the head of
the first anoxic zone.
The AAA tank effluent, or mixed liquor, is equally distributed to the al cl_ arifiers.
In the final clarifiers, the activated sludge is settled out for return to the AAA tanks. The
clear liquid above the settling sludge overflows the effluent weirs and flows to the
effluent filters. The settled sludge is removed from the clarifiers through suction -type
sludge collectors and flows to two RAS pump stations, from which the return sludge is
pumped to the AAA tanks. The two RAS pump stations operate in parallel. Each RAS
pump station contains three RAS pumps. The RAS pump stations discharge to the
anaerobic zone distribution channel and the RAS is distributed equally among the
operation AAA tanks.
Excess sludge is removed from the BNR activated sludge system by the RAS pumps.
From the RAS pump stations, the waste activated sludge is pumped to the solids handling
facilities for solids treatment and ultimate disposal.
The final clarifier effluent flows to six effluent filters for removal of fine solids not
removed in the final clarifiers. Two of the effluent filters are deep bed -tine filters,
containing approximately 48 inches of sand supported by 12 inches of filter gravel. The
other four filters are-Aual media-
�1t rs. Filter effluent flows through the underdrain
system to the ultraviolet (UV) disinfection facilities. Backwash water for the filters is
taken from the Washwater Storage Tank next to the Primary Clarifier #5 and, after
backwashing, is collected in the washwater recovery basins for return to the head of the
plant. Facilities are provided to bypass a portion of the secondary effluent when
wastewater flows exceed the capacity of the effluent filters.
Ultraviolet light is used for both filter effluent and filter bypass water disinfection. Three
ultraviolet disinfection channels are provided, with each channel containing two banks of
UV lamps. Effluent from the ultraviolet disinfection facilities flows through three
effluent Parshall Flumes for flow measurement and then flows to an Effluent Pump
Station. The effluent is pumped to Groometown Road where it flows down a Cascade
Aerator and into the channel of the Deep River in the Randleman Reservoir.
Solids handling facilities consist of three dissolved air flotation (DAF) thickeners, two
sludge blending tanks, two centrifuges, a fluidized bed incinerator, an ash lagoon for ash
storage, and associated pumps and process equipment. Primary sludge is normally
pumped to the sludge blending tanks, but can be pumped to the fermentation tanks if
additional food source is needed for BNR purposes. Waste Activated Sludge and
Primary sludge are mixed in the sludge blending tanks from which the mixed sludge is
pumped to the centrifuges for dewatering. After dewatering, the dewatered sludge is
pumped to the incinerator and the ash is pumped as a slurry to the ash lagoons and then
disposed of by adding to compost at the City landfill or it is transported to a brick
manufacturing and used to make brick.
An Odor Control System consisting of a two stage wet scrubber process was added in
2008. A 30,000 SUM fan pulls the gases from the sludge storage tanks and the
dewatering building through the two stage scrubbers where hydrogen sulfide odors are
removed.
Three 2000kW diesel -driven generators provide standby power. Two diesel -fuel storage
tanks of 10,000 gallons each provide fuel for the generators. The generators are sized to
provide full power to the plant.
