RE: Surf City WWTF Minor Permit Modification
NCDEQ DWR Permit No. WQ0000795 dated 01/11/2018
Highfill Project No.: SUR1701
Dear Mr. Thornburg:
3804 Park Avenue, Unit A
Wilmington, North Carolina 28403
Tel 910-313-1516
NC Firm License No. C-2586
The Town of Surf City has identified several critical components of the overall treatment process at its
1,500,000 GPD WWTF located on Sarge Martin Road just south of Holly Ridge that are prematurely near
the end of their useful service lives. This situation could jeopardize the ability to maintain operational
compliance under certain conditions. Two of the components identified include the headworks and
existing disc filters.
All wastewater from the town's sewer collection system is pumped to the headworks at the WWTF for
initial treatment. The existing headworks structure includes one automatic center -flow band screen, one
spare influent channel for a future screen, and a manual screen for redundancy during higher flow
conditions and for system maintenance. Flow from the screen(s) then combines to flow through a
cyclonic grit removal system before proceeding to the SBR units. Additional equipment includes
screenings conveyance, compaction facilities, and a grit classifier unit. Factors affecting the current
operation and overall condition of the existing headworks include: 1) excessive sand and grit; 2)
hydraulic loading; and 3) corrosion from sewer gases.
The influent wastewater from the collection system contains a high level of sand and grit. This has had an
abrasive effect on the existing band screen. Facility operations staff has indicated that, under certain flow
conditions, up to three cubic yards of sand and grit have been removed from the influent wastewater
stream on a daily basis. The abrasive nature of these solids has caused extensive wear on the existing
screen components to the extent that several components have failed. Given the characteristics of the
influent wastewater, the existing unit is in need of replacement with a screen more suited for the influent
characteristics.
Wet weather facility hydraulic loadings have also had an adverse effect upon the headworks. During
higher wet weather influent flows, it is necessary to bypass wastewater to the manual bar screen channel.
These conditions require continuous attention by facility operations staff to clean the manual bypass
screen about once every hour.
Engineering is our profession. Service is our passion.
The upgrades to the WWTF headworks will mainly consist of the following:
■ Replace the existing band screen with a multi -rake type mechanical bar screen.
■ Install a multi -rake type mechanical bar screen in the spare influent channel.
Each mechanical bar rack (screen) will be manufactured from 316 stainless steel. This material is
expected to offer a greater wear resistance against the sand contained in the influent wastewater stream.
The proposed multi -rake bar screen in the spare influent channel will provide 100 percent redundancy.
With the level of screening redundancy provided, no improvements to the existing manual bar screen are
warranted as part of this project. In addition, the existing screenings wash press and discharge chute will
be replaced.
Downstream of the SBR and prior to UV light disinfection, the facility secondary (clarified) effluent is
filtered utilizing parallel Hydrotech Discfilter° units. These tertiary filters consist of woven cloth filter
panels installed on multiple rotating disks. Wastewater to be filtered flows by gravity into the center
drum and then passes through the filter media panels mounted on both sides of the rotating disk. Filtered
solids are retained within the disk while filtered water flows into the unit's collection tank. The disks are
designed to periodically rotate to allow the filtered solids to be washed from the inside of the disks and
collected in a trough for conveyance back to the headworks for treatment in the facility.
The proposed upgrade to the tertiary filtration would utilize the existing disk filter technology and add a
third disc filter in parallel to the existing filters, to add another layer of redundancy. In addition to
redundancy, adding a third filter is expected to allow the WWTF staff to operate the filters with greater
removal efficiency by allowing additional opportunity for adjustments to the disc rotation speed and
freedom to operate filters for longer periods prior to backwashing.
At this time Surf City is not requesting a flow modification from the existing permit of 1,500,000 GPD;
however, proposed equipment replacements are hydraulically suitable for anticipated future expansion of
the WWTF. Presently Surf City only wishes to take advantage of the greater redundancy and reliability
of the new equipment while allowing room for future expansion when necessary.
