Notes for Town of Mount Olive Water Treatment Plant
General Information
The Town of Mount Olive has requested that an NPDES permit allowing the facility to
discharge filter backwash water. Previously, this facility discharged the filter backwash
water to the Town of Mount Olive's WWTP, however the WWTP is currently under an
SOC because of excessive flows. Removing the water treatment plant contribution will
provide interim relief to the WWTP.
The facility is proposing to discharge 0.02 MGD of filter backwash water into an
unnamed tributary to the Northeast Cape Fear River, which is a class C Swamp water, in
the Cape Fear River Basin. The Town of Mount Olive is located in the headwaters of the
Northeast Cape Fear.
Permit Writer: MJM
Permit#: NC0086801
Basin Plan Review
General Comments
This permit will be developed using the water treatment plant permitting policy. In the
future if the WWTP should correct the problems, the permittee should be encouraged to
again begin discharging to the sanitary sewer.
Per Charles Weaver, this request requires a new permit application. Additionally,
Charles indicated that he and Dave Goodrich have concluded that an engineering
alternatives analysis is not required. Based on this information it is assumed that the only
option for the facility is discharge and permit development will proceed accordingly.
2/26/00—contacted the Town of Mount Olive about the situation with the chlorides in
Barlow Branch and the Northeast Cape Fear River. This is seen as a permanent measure
being employed by the facility. Chad Winem informed the Division that the water
treatment plant does not practice brine recharge as part of the water treatment process and
chloride levels in the wastewater have been below detection limits.
2/26/00—using a 1:20,000 USGS topographic map the watershed was delineated and
determined to be 0.0133 mi2. Referring the Low Flow Characteristics of Streams in
North Carolina for hydrologic area 2 (HA2), drainage areas less than 2.0 mi2 would be
expected to have a 7Q10 and 30Q2 equal to zero.

SUMMARY
The Town of Mount Olive has requested that an NPDES permit allowing the facility to discharge
filter backwash water. Previously, this facility discharged the filter backwash water to the
Town of Mount Olive's WWTP, however the WWTP is currently under an SOC because of
excessive flows. Removing the water treatment plant contribution will provide interim relief to
the WWTP.
Barlow Branch and 3.3 miles of the Northeast Cape Fear River from the source to SR 1937 are
rated as not supporting their designated uses due to elevated level chloride levels from the
Mount Olive Pickle Company. The facility is proposing to discharge 0.02 MGD of filter
backwash water into an unnamed tributary to the Northeast Cape Fear River, which is a class
C Swamp water, in the Cape Fear River Basin. The receiving stream, UT to the Northeast Cape
Fear River, discharges into the Northeast Cape Fear River in a portion of the river, which has
elevated chloride levels. Since the water treatment plants does not utilize brine recharge as a
unit operation chloride levels in the effluent are minimal and the discharge should have a
positive impact on the chloride levels by increasing dilution.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This discharge results from the backwash of filters at a Municipal water treatment plant.
The discharge is able to meet proposed permit limits based on data submitted. Currently this
backwash water is being discharged to the Mt. Olive WWTP. However the WWTP is
hydraulically over loaded and has man hole overflows during heavy rainfall events. It is felt
that it is better to discharge this relatively clean water directly to the receiving stream and
reduce the hydraulic load on the WWTP. It is recommended that the permit be reissued.

Re: Application for Permit to Discharge
Gordon Street Water Treatment Plant
• Town of Mount Olive,North Carolina
Dear Mr. Weaver:
Please find enclosed three(3) copies of the Application for Permit to Discharge—Short Form A
along with a map showing the location of the proposed discharge and a$715.00 check for the
application fee. This request will allow the Town of Mount Olive to discharge filter backwash
water to a wet-weather ditch that flows to the Northeast Cape Fear River. The backwash water
from this plant was once permitted to be discharged to the ditch under NPDES permit No. NC
003051, discharge No. 1. The discharge was moved to the sewer for convenience some time ago.
The sewer system is now under and SOC for excessive flows, and the Town needs to remove this
filter backwash from the water system.
The Town owns and operates a water distribution system that utilizes wells as its source of water.
At the Gordon Street Water Treatment Plant, there exist four(4) iron removal pressure filters that
presently discharge 20,000 gallons per day(gpd)to the sanitary sewer system as well as a 60,000-
gallon holding tank for the filter backwash water. Solids in the backwash water are allowed to
settle prior to being discharged into the sanitary sewer system.
Piping modifications to the holding basin are proposed so that supemate can be removed and the
solids can be collected in the bottom. Approximately 20,000 gallons of backwash water would be
discharged to the holding tank daily, allowed to settle and then discharged to the ditch. After one
(1) month, approximately 20,000 gallons of collected solids would be discharged to the sanitary
sewer system.

Mr. Charles Weaver

November 10, 1999
For one (1) month,the Town modified the piping to allow the solids to settle and the supemate to
be removed. The supemate was sampled and discharged into the sanitary sewer system.
Enclosed is a copy of the sampling data. The sampling data indicates the supemate would be able
to meet the existing NPDES limits for well No. 3. Well No. 3 discharges under permit NO. NC
003051, discharge No. 2. Discharge No. 1 was originally for the same water treatment plant that
the application is currently being made.
If there are any questions or if additional information is needed, please do not hesitate to contact
