permit will be issued exactly like the draft, with 2 exceptions .... TRC will be changed to 2/Week and Effluent
Temperature will be changed to daily. (per 2B.0500 rules for class II facilities). Please let me know if you have
any questions.
Thanks,
Christie

Stokes County Wastewater Treatment Plant
Narrative Description
Wastewater is pumped from Mill Creek Lift Station into the equalization basin.
The wastewater is then pumped at approximately 30 gpm into the aeration basins.
Each basin receives 15 gpm. Wastewater flows into the clarifier where the sludge
settles and is returned at 60 to 80 gpm to the aeration basin. The clarifier effluent
flows over the weirs passing through the flowmeter and the ultra violet disinfection
system. From this point the effluent flows into an on -site lift station that conveys
the effluent to a discharge point on the Dan River approximately 1/4 of a mile
away.

Danbury Wastewater Treatment Plant
Sludge Management Plan
Sludge is wasted to an aerobic digester where it is digested and clear water is
decanted. The sludge is then hauled by Carolina Septic of Walkertown, North
Carolina. The sludge is disposed of at the City of Winston-Salem's Wastewater
Treatment Plant.

I appreciate your checking into the faxed letter on this subject that I
left with you. I also have 3 more pages of the fax that I will drop off
to you. According to Pam's mail log, the original letter was sent to me
in April but I do not remember it. Either way, since it is a wetland
system being proposed for polishing of an NPDES permitted discharge, I
guess the response should come from your Unit.
In the voice mail you left me, you asked what you could do to help me on
this. If you will, please have someone call these folks and see if what
they are proposing is acceptable. The date of the letter is April so I
am sure they are starting to get very impatient.
Thanks for your help

Re: Stokes -Danbury Wetlands Demonstration Project
NPDES Permit No.: NCO082384
C & A No.: MK990 1
Dear Ms. Sullivan:
The Stokes County Soil and Water Conservation District is interested in exploring the
option of creating a Constructed Wetland Demonstration Project in Danbury, North
Carolina. This project would be created by diverting a portion of the treated effluent that
currently is discharged under the above referenced permit number through a new wetland.
The constructed wetland would be located near Moratock Park which is less than 150
yards from the existing permitted discharge point.
The idea is for this portion of effluent to be diverted as necessary to keep the wetland wet
and thereby assisting in its functionality. The project would be a demonstration site and
would be used for research and education purposes. The project would be handled in
cooperation with Stokes County who is the NPDES permit holder.
The purpose of my letter to you today is to formally request guidance as to what
procedural steps would need to be taken to assure that the permit is complied with
exclusively. Again, to reiterate, we would be utilizing a sidestream of the treated effluent
(better than secondary quality) through the wetland and return it to the original discharge
point. We are pleased that we have the opportunity to provide this educational project.
We do, however, want to assure that we are starting it properly.
Your prompt attention to my request would be greatly appreciated. Upon receipt and
review, if you should require any additional information, please do not hesitate to call.
Sincerely,
Marvin S. Cavanaugh, PLS
