Authorization to Construct
Clay Co. W&S -WWTP
Clay County
Dear Mr.Dailey:
A letter of request for an Authorization to Construct was received August 13, 1997 by the Division
and final plans and specifications for the proposed modification have been reviewed and found to be
satisfactory. Authorization is hereby granted for the construction of an AeroMod treatment system
including the following units:
• Bar screen;
• Dual selector tanks;
• Equalization basin with approximately 36,000 gallon capacity;
• Dual aeration basins with approximately 313,000 gallon capacity;
• Dual clarifiers with approximately 60,000 gallon capacity;
• Dual sludge digestors-with approximately 70,000 gallon capacity;
• Draimad sludge dewatering system;
• Chlorine contact basin with dual chlorine diffusers one for each treatment train, and
• All associated controls, piping and appurtenances
with final discharge of treated wastewater into The Hiwassee River which is classified WS-IV waters in
the Hiwassee River Basin.
This Authorization to Construct is being issued with the understanding that the following.additions
are incorporated into the construction of the facility:
• Diffusers shall be added to the equalization basin. The Division understands that the
contents of the equalization basin will be metered back into the aeration basin once the
period of high inflow has stopped. Depending on the length of time this takes,
activated sludge can go septic. In addition,the Division would like to point out that this
tank will most likely never be pumped completely dry. Air will be required in the tank
for the portion of the contents that remain after the pumps cut off.
• Supernatant removal pumps shall be added to the sludge digestors. The addition of
these pumps during the initial construction phase will alleviate the need for the plant

operator to utilize a portable pump to remove supernatant (i.e maximize plant
operational flexibility). In addition, the operation of these pumps will maximize the
sludge storage capacity and will most likely produce a greater concentration of sludge.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of NPDES
Permit No. NC0026697 issued February 19, 1997, and shall be subject to revocation unless the
wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations specified in
Permit No. NC0026697.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance
conditions,the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action,including those as may be required by this
Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities.
The Asheville Regional Office, telephone number [phone], shall be notified at least forty-
eight (48) hours in advance of operation of the installed facilities so that an in-place inspection can be
made. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made during the normal office hours from 8:00
a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding State Holidays.
Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted facility, a certification
must be received from a professional engineer certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in
accordance with the NPDES Permit, this Authorization to Construct and the approved plans and
specifications. Mail the Certification to the NPDES Unit, P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, NC 27626-0535.
A copy of the approved plans and specifications shall be maintained on file by the Permittee for the
life of the facility.
The Operational Agreement between the Permittee and the Environmental Management
Commission is incorporated herein by reference and is a condition of this Permit. Noncompliance with the
terms of the Operational Agreement shall subject the Permittee to all sanctions provided by G. S. 143-
215.6 for violation of or failure to act in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Permit.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Authorization to Construct may subject the
Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Water Quality in accordance with North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C.
The issuance of this Authorization to Construct does not preclude the Permittee from complying
with any and all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be imposed by other government
agencies (local, state, and federal) which have jurisdiction.
One (1) set of approved plans and specifications is being forwarded to you. If you have any

Dear Mr. Dailey:
The Non-Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of
the subject application. Additional information is required before we can continue our review.
Please address the following items no later than April 22, 1999:
Force Main Design:
Regulation 15A NCAC 2H .0219 (i) (2) (G) (ii)requires 10 feet minimum horizontal
separation between water mains and sewer lines. The force main shown on Sheet U-2
is approximately 8 feet from the existing water main along US 64. Please make the
necessary adjustment to the design to meet this regulation. A note on the plan sheet
referring to this minimum separation may be helpful to the contractor in the field.
Please reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested
information. All information should be signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my
attention at the address above. Please note that failure to provide this additional information on
or before the above requested date can result in your application being returned as incomplete.
If you have any questions regarding this request,please call me at(919) 733-5083,

This project concerns the relocation of an existing force main. While
this is true, the application could have been more detailed; hopefully the
plans were. The application by itself is worthless.
Do the plans show the location of the new line? Do they meet all the
criteria for stream and road crossings (if there are any) . Since there is
only about 2 feet difference in the elevation, the change in the head on
the pump, I assume, will be insignificant.

Dear Mr. Jordan:
The Non-Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the
subject application. Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please
address the following by March 3, 1998:
1- The Division has concerns over the 6 inch force main from the Town Creek p n
tying into a 6 inch gravity sewer. Based upon my calculations,the 6 inch f c main do s
' not appear to be able to handle the 300 GPM pumping rate of the pumps in the own Creek
pump station, even flowing at full flow. Please evaluate this tie in point,the capacity of the
6 inch gravity sewer and the effects that this tie in point will have on the pumps (i.e.
additional head).
2 Manhole D3, on page 10 of 24 of the plans, should be shown as a drop manhole on the
plans. If it is an inside drop,please specify as such on the plans.
3- The gravity sewer creek crossing, shown on page 12 of 24 of the plans, should be shown
as a pipe of ferrous material or maintain the Division's minimum 36 inches of cover.
Please reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested
information. All information should be signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my attention
at the address below. Please note that failure to provide this additional information on or before the
above requested date can result in your application being returned as incomplete.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please call me at(919) 733-5083,

Subject: Carwash Connection to Hayesville
Wastewater Treatment Facility
Clay County
Dear Mr. Craig:
Based upon your statement of the anticipated flows to be generated
by the carwash (approx. 1400 gpd) , the Town of Hayesville should be able
to accept wastewater from the carwash. So long as the Town does not
exceed its NPDES permit for flow by accepting this wastewater and so long
as the owners of the carwash ensure that no chemicals toxic or inhibitory
to the Town' s wastewater treatment facility are discharged to the sewer
system, the Division of Environmental Management sees no problem with
connecting the carwash to the Town' s sewer system.
If you should have any questions, please feel free to contact me at
704-251-6208 .
Sincerely,

The Town of Hayesville was either at or within 2-3k gpd of the permit
limit of 0. 072 MGD for 7 of the past 12 months and actually exceeded
permitted flow limits an additional 3 months. The average flow over the
past year was 0. 711 MGD. Allowing the Nursing Home to discharge to the
Town before an SOC is in place would put the Town in violation of current
permit limits, therefore, the sewer line extension is approved with the
condition that no discharge be allowed from the Elderberry Nursing Home
until an SOC has been implemented.

Dear Jack:
We submit the following responses to your nine (9) comments outlined in your
letter of December 12, 1989. Also, we respond to treatment plant capacity
concerns expressed in a January 24, 1990 letter (copy enclosed) from Roy
Davis, Asheville Regional Office to the Town of Hayesville.
1. Pump Stations 11 and #2 are equipped with standby power.
Modified Plans and Electrical Specifications (Addendum #1)
y'
showing this feature are enclosed.
2. No, correction of a drafting error results in a true fall of
2.75' across the manhole. Invert elevation differences less
than 3' do not require drop manholes.
3. Design calculations for Pump Stations #1 and #2 are enclosed.
4. Pump Stations #3 and #4, 2-inch force main and related appur-
tenances have been deleted from this project. An 8-inch
gravity collection line replaces these stations per Change
Order No. 1. Modified Plans showing this change are enclosed.
5. These pump stations have been deleted per response #4 above.
6. The Town will furnish .a 20,000 gallon equalization basin which
is approximately 28% (percent) of the permitted 72,000 gpd
average daily flow.
7. The Asheville Regional Office has demanded dechlorination be
installed due to toxicity conditions in the receiving stream.
We have relocated the sulfur dioxide diffuser downsteam of the
effluent weir so that it will not impact the chlorine contact
time. Modified Plans showing this change are enclosed.
8. Sludge is currently being disposed of at the Clay County landfill
under. an extended permit. The. Town is presently developing a
land application program to be permitted this summer.
9. Audible alarm horns have-"been-added to Pump Stations #1 .and #2
as a part of Addendum No. 1. Modified Plans showing this change
are enclosed.

In regard to treatment plant capacity letter, we reference a November 10, 1989
letter (copy enclosed) from our office to the Asheville Regional Office. The
letter explains the flowmeter inaccuracies that caused much of the reported
excessive flows during 1989. However, the Regional Office has continued to
question the lower flows following recalibration as evidenced by the January
24, 1990 letter. Two (2) subsequent site visits have apparently resolved the
dispute. First, the ISCO flow meter manufacturer representative verified the
calibration on January 25, 1990 (letter enclosed). Secondly, Joel Storrow, of
our office and Bill Anderson of the Regional office met at the plant on Janu-
ary 30th and agreed to recalibration.
Since the recalibration has shown lower average flows since October 63,000 gpd
in(November and 54,000 gpd in December) it is apparent that the plant has some
excessive capacity. Moreover, the 26,960 gpd design flow generated by the new
sewer extension is an ultimte flow to be generated by the area when full
developed. Sewer users presently committed will generate only 10,200 gpd average
daily flow of which 7,200 gpd is allocated to the new Ingles site. Also, the
Town is now isolating and eliminating infiltration and inflow sources, suspected
of contributing a good deal of stormwater to the treatment plant flow.
On behalf of the Town, we ask that this project be approved on the basis that
~ adequate treatment capacity exists for committed flows.
We have enclosed three (3) modified sets of drawings and appropriate specifi-
cations. These sets supercede those previously submitted.
Sincerely yours,

Dear Permittee:
On May 08, 1990 the Division of Environmental Management issued you
the subject permit. One of the conditions of the subject permit read as
follows:
Upon completion of construction and prior to operation of this permitted
facility, a certification must be received from a professional engineer
certifying that the permitted facility has been installed in accordance
with the requirements of this permit and the approved plans and
specifications. Mail certification to the Permits and Engineering Unit,
P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, N.C. , 27626-0535.
To date, our records show that no certification has been received for the
subject permit. If the permitted facility has been constructed and placed into
operation please submit the required certification immediately. Operation of
the treatment system prior to submission of the required certification is in

questions, please contact your consulting engineer for this project, STORROW
ENGINEERING at [phone]. If the facility has not been constructed, please
contact the Asheville Regional Office.at [phone], so that they can update

Dear Mayor Vaught:
With regards to the information received February 8, 1990, additional items must be
addressed prior to issuance of the Authorization to Construct. Please address the following items
on or before March 6, 1990:
1. Please provide a gravity sewer checklist that reflects the actual footage of gravity
sewer, including the lines that replace pump stations 3 and 4.
2. Regulations require that pump stations be designed to provide 2 to 8 cycles/hour.
Please provide a detail accommodating this requirement, otherwise provide
justification for the use of 1 cycle/hour.
3. Regulations also require at least 2 feet per second in force mains. The use of a 4-inch
force main with a pump rate of 50 GPM does not provide sufficient velocity in the
force main. Please provide amended plans possibly showing a 3-inch force main or
higher pumping rate.
4. Please provide calculations for pump station 2.
5. Please provide a detail of the new 20,000 gallon equalization basin. The current plans
still show a 10,000 gallon tank.
6. Please provide a signed and sealed copy of the specifications that include the
information for the generators and deletes the information for pump stations 3 and 4.

7. If funding is desired, all addenda should be submitted to our office for review and
approval prior to opening of bids. Contractors should have all addenda at least 7 days
prior to bid opening.
8. Approval of all "or equals" must be by addenda prior to receipt of bids.
9. Specifications must limit infiltration to 100 gallons per day per inch mile of pipe. An
infiltration test is required.
10. A specification section should be provided for each piece of equipment on the project.
Equipment must be specified in accordance with NCGS 1 i3-3. Attached is a copy of our
policy regarding this statute.
11. A clear description of the methods of measurement and payment(M&P) for each and
every bid item should be provided. Most specifications have a measurement and
payment section that describes each bid item. However, some specs address M&P in
each spec section which makes it more difficult to review.
12. If stone bedding is required for sewer lines (typical for gravity sewers), the spec should
indicate whether it is included in the cost of the pipe or a separate pay item. If bedding is
required for the entire length, it should be included in the cost of the pipe.
13. The specifications should address how payment for rock excavation will be handled.
Since this project is west of Greensboro,rock excavation should be expected. Some
specs will include the cost of rock excavation in the pipe cost. This usually leads to
higher project costs because the bidders do not know the quantity of rock, and therefore
will have to add a contingency amount to the pipe price. We prefer that the A/E estimate
a rock quantity and provide a bid item for rock excavation. This way, the contractor
knows he will get paid for the rock encountered so he can give a better unit price for the
pipe.
14. Undercut excavation should be addressed. Undercut excavation is required when the soil
at the subgrade elevation is not suitable to support the pipe or structure to be constructed.
The payment item for undercut excavation should include removal of the unsuitable
material and replacement with stone, select backfill, or other suitable material.
15. Provide electrical plans and specifications for the pump station and any other work that
requires electricity to operate. For projects with SCADA systems,the control wiring
should be shown on the plans and specified.
16. The specifications should clearly indicate which contractor is required to provide and
install the control panels for each piece of equipment. Some specs require the general
contractor to provide the control panels and the electrical contractor to install them.
Some specs require the electrical contractor to provide and install the panels. Either
method is OK as long as the requirements are clear.

SECTION I INTRODUCTION
Clay County is located in southwestern North Carolina with a population of
approximately 7,400 persons. The Clay County Water and Sewer District provides
potable water and sanitary sewer service to the Town of Hayesville and its environs. The
District currently has 207 water customers and 165 sewer customers. The district is
under a sewer moratorium imposed by the North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDENR) which prevents new sewer connections until
compliance with certain regulations is achieved.
.._ The purpose of this report is to identify collection system deficiencies within the
jurisdiction of the Clay County Water and Sewer District, and provide recommended
rehabilitations to correct the deficiencies.
The proposed project area includes many areas inside the Town of Hayesville, as
well as a small area southeast of the town limits. The proposed sewer upgrades are
located along Hiwassee Street, Fort Hembree Street, Hickory Street, Riverside Drive,
Mill Street, a section of SR 1140, and an area located between Highway 64 Business and
the wastewater treatment plant.
This report is intended to support an application to the NCDENR for a High Unit
Cost Grant through the 1998 Critical Needs Bond Program.

i

SECTION II EXISTING FACILITIES
The existing wastewater collection system of the Clay County Water and Sewer
District consists of various size gravity sewer lines from 6-inch diameter to 8-inch
diameter, in combination with lift stations and force mains that are required to serve the
mountainous terrain of the area. Currently, the Clay County Water and Sewer District
has six (6) lift stations. The earliest portions of the gravity sewer system were
constructed in the 1940's. As is the case with collection systems in many small towns,
many of the lines are constructed of terra cotta. These older lines are the most sensitive
to irifiltration/inflow (I/I) due to leaking joints and broken and collapsed sections. To
make matters worse, several areas of Town have manholes constructed of dry stack
masonry units on concrete slabs. These manholes are certainly prone to excessive I/I
contributions.
3 The Town of Hayesville provided no significant treatment of wastewater until a
central wastewater treatment plant was constructed in the 1960's. The plant, now
operated by the Clay County Sewer and Water District, uses an extended aeration process
for treatment to secondary standards with discharge to Town Creek. The current capacity
of the plant is 97,000 gallons per day which is regularly exceeded due to excessive
infiltration/inflow(VI) in the collection system. The existing wastewater treatment plant
will be abandoned and replaced with a new 300,000 gallon per day extended aeration
plant currently being constructed, with discharge to the larger Hiwassee River. The new
wastewater treatment plant is expected to be operational later this year.
4

---1 SECTION III CRITICAL NEED FOR PROJECT
The Clay County Water and Sewer District has been under a moratorium
prohibiting sewer connections since November, 1994 (see letter in Appendix A). The
moratorium was imposed due to continual discharge permit violations at the District's
- Town Creek wastewater treatment plant. The violations are largely a result of flows to
the plant which regularly exceed the permitted maximum flow of 97,000 GPD. The
District has plans to construct a larger 300,000 GPD wastewater plant to provide
additional capacity. However, infiltration/inflow (I/I) in the collection system is
considered a large contributor to these high flows and must be addressed in a
comprehensive way in order for the District to achieve permit compliance. This is
especially critical since growth pressures in the area are expected to increase demands on
the treatment system. I/I will no doubt worsen, resulting in limited reserve treatment
capacity. Reduction of I/I in the collection system is a critical need to accommodate
perceived growth.
At the request of the Clay County Water and Sewer District, smoke testing was
performed in various areas on two 2 separate occasions to further evaluate the condition
p O p
of the existing sewer lines. Manholes were inspected in conjunction with the smoke
testing, and information related to the condition of existing lines and problem areas was
obtained from District maintenance personnel The areas included in these tests were
Mill Street, Hiwassee Street, Hickory Street,Fort Hembree Street, Ritter Road, Highway
u
69 and State Road 1122, Riverside Street, Highway 64, the sewer lines in the downtown
area, and the main trunk line between the Town Creek treatment plant and Highway 64.
Many manholes throughout the area are constructed of dry stack masonry units, which
regularly leak. I/I is also a problem over signiflcant stretches of the older terra cotta
sections of the system. It should be noted that the main trunk line to the wastewater
treatment plant is an area with failing septic tanks, and the existing sewer line is not deep
enough to allow connection of the homes. In addition, the line has been observed to
contain a large amount of inflow during inclement weather. Lastly, the sewer line along
SRI 140 is in poor condition and no manholes exist over its entire length.
5

In addition to the above sewer line deficiencies, the existing Riverside Street
Pump Station is a converted septic tank which does not meet current state design
standards for a wastewater pump station. This pump station is located within close
proximity to the Hiwassee River,therefore the pump station should be replaced to protect
the water quality of the river.
A map of the project area has been provided in section VI and notes from these
inspections can be found in Appendix A. A summary of the inspection notes showing
areas in critical need of replacement can be seen on the next page.

As can be seen from the above information,many sections of the sewer system in
the District are in serious need of repair. In considering what sections of the collection
system warrant repair or replacement, the individual areas were considered separately to
keep costs to a minimum. a
It should be noted that the project to replace the existing main trunk line has
already been designed and the required permit from the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality has been received. Therefore, this project can be constructed as soon as funding
is secured.

Main Sewer Trunk Line:
The main trunk line to the wastewater treatment plant is an area with failing septic
tanks, and the existing sewer line is not deep enough to allow connection of the homes.
71 Furthermore, large amounts of infiltration and inflow are occurring during inclement
weather conditions. This project consists of replacing approximately 5140 LF of 8" PVC
` sewer line and 23 pre-cast concrete manholes. In the following section, Project Cost
Estimates, this section of the project is singled out but added into the final cost of the
estimate.
Riverside Street Pump Station
In addition to the above sewer line deficiencies, the existing Riverside Street
Pump Station is a converted septic tank which does not meet current state design
-74

.;_ standards for a wastewater pump station. This pump station is located within close
3 proximity to the Hiwassee River, therefore the pump station should be replaced to protect
the water quality of the river.

SECTION VIII SUMMARY
The Clay County Water and Sewer District must rehabilitate specific sections of
their collection system to reduce wastewater flows. The project recommended in this
report replaces the oldest lines and manholes and is expected to significantly reduce
excessive I/I. The resulting reduction is wastewater flows will help the District to attain
- compliance with their discharge permit and allow the sewer moratorium to be lifted.
After review of the notes and information gathered from manhole inspections,
several areas were selected for manhole and/or sewer line replacement. The areas needing
both sewer and manhole repair/replacement are included in these tests were Mill Street,
Hiwassee Street, Hickory Street, Fort Hembree Street, Riverside Street, Highway 64, the
sewer lines in the downtown area, a small section of SR 1140, and the main trunk line
between the Town Creek treatment plant and Highway 64. The areas needing only
manhole replacement are Ritter Road, Highway 69 and State Road 1122. For a list of
specific manhole and sewer line replacements,refer to the table in Section IV Project
Description. The proposed sewer line and manhole replacements will provide sewer
service to an area with failing septic tanks and will reduce the amount of infiltration and
inflow in the sewer system. The total estimated cost of the project is$1,333,124.

SECTION IX ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
-° Since this is simply an upgrade of the current wastewater system, few adverse
environmental impacts are expected. After completion of the upgrades, the overall
impact will be beneficial to the protection of the environment because the risk of sanitary
sewer overflows will be reduced.
Changes In Land Use
The proposed sewer improvements are to be constructed in close proximity to existing
7 sewer lines. Construction of the sewer lines would not alter the present land use either
during or after construction.
Wetlands and Floodplains
No known wetlands will be impacted by the construction of any of the proposed
facilities. All facilities will either be constructed above the 100-year flood plain or
71
protected by appropriate devices such as watertight manhole covers and elevated vents.
This will assure that there will be no significant adverse impacts to flood plain areas.
Prime or Unique Agricultural Lands
There are no known prime or unique agricultural lands in the project area.
Public Lands
Although a majority of the project will be on existing public easements, it will be
replacing existing facilities. No notable impacts are expected on public lands.
Scenic and Recreational Areas
No scenic or recreational areas will be impacted by the project.
13

-: Areas of Archeological or Historical Value
The construction of this project adjacent to existing sewer lines is not expected to impact
any areas of archaeological or historical significance.
Air Quality
This project does not involve the discharge of any vapor or particulates in to the air. No
air quality impacts are anticipated.
Groundwater Quality
By rehabilitating leaking sewer lines, the groundwater quality should improve because
the potential for leakage of wastewater into groundwater will be reduced. No adverse
groundwater quality impacts are anticipated.
Nuisance Conditions
Since most construction will be done during normal business hours, increased noise
levels due to construction should not adversely impact the public. Any rise in noise
T elevations will be temporary.
Water Supplies
No known water supply intakes are located immediately downstream of.the existing
discharge. The proposed,sewer-line project is not expected to have any impact on any
public or private water supplies.
Wildlife and Their Habitats
Since this project does not result in an increased wastewater treatment plant capacity or
discharge, no significant impacts to wildlife and wildlife habitats are anticipated.
14

Surface Waters
The rehabilitation of existing sewer lines is expected to decrease the infiltration/inflow,
thereby decreasing the quantity of treated wastewater effluent that is ultimately
discharged to the river. Therefore,the project will have positive impacts on the receiving
waters.
Indirect or Secondary Impacts
Only limited indirect and secondary impacts are expected in response to the proposed
projects. The proposed projects are not expected to spur extensive growth in or around
the Town but are needed to serve the existing industrial, commercial, and residential
base. Completion of the projects is not expected to cause changes in the historical
development patterns in or around the Town of Hayesville. No significant impacts to
natural or environmental resources are expected as a result of the rehabilitation of the
Clay County Water and Sewer District sewer system.
Mitigative Measures
While no significant adverse environmental impacts are anticipated, various mitgative
measures will be included in the design, construction, and operation of the proposed
sewer rehabilitation project. These measures will further reduce or eliminate any impacts
to the environmental and natural resources in proximity to the proposed project.
All applicable erosion control measures will be incorporated into the design and
construction of all facilities. Silt fences, check dams, settling basins, and prompt seeding,
among other measures, will be utilized to insure that construction activities do not pose
an erosion or siltation hazard.

APPENDIX B SMOKE TESTING NOTES
The following pages contain notes taken during inspection and smoke testing of
the existing sewer system.
s

Mill Street
Three of four manholes were accessible on this road. The manholes are constructed of
dry masonry units set on a flat concrete slab with no inverts. The ring and cover are
set on a field fabricated lid. The pipe for this line is 6" black plastic pipe which
appears to be becoming very brittle. Maintenance crew reports that pipe is prone to
- break during a routine clean-out. The manholes range in depth from 2' deep at
manhole 7c to 12't deep at manhole 7A. This line serves 7-8 houses and a church that
sits on a ridge. The line runs down the very top of the ridge and appears to not have
any infiltration problems with the exception of leakage in manhole joints.
Manhole VA. The general condition is poor. The manhole is approximately 12' deep,
' dry stacked masonry units with no steps and flat concrete slab base with no invert. The
manhole has one 8-inch and one 6-inch influent lines with one 8-inch effluent line.
Flow through the manhole is moderate and restricted due to poor invert conditions.
Manhole#7B. The general condition is poor. The manhole is approximately 5' deep,
dry stacked masonry units with flat concrete slab base with no invert. This manhole
had low flow with restriction due to poor invert condition.
Manhole#7C. This manhole is the same as manhole #7B but is only 3' deep with a 4"
Plastic service line into one side. Flow through the manhole is restricted due to lack of
3 invert:
Maiihole#7D. Not found
This line was smoke tested by locating the smoker on Manhole #7C and blowing M
both directions until smoke was sighted at both ends of the line. No smoke was found
along the line. The only visible smoke was at the manholes, out of two house vent
pipes, and at the location of the abandoned service connection.
Hiawassee Street .
The inspection of this line was a continuation of the inspection of the previous report.
The section of line inspected was from the intersection with Highway 64 to the
intersection with Bald Street. This section of line is constructed with manholes built
' with dry stacked concrete masonry units on flat concrete slab with no invert. The ring
and cover'are set on a field fabricated steel lid. The pipe is a 6-inch ABS plastic pipe
and is reported to be broken and in a state of repair in two locations.
Manhole #8A. Manhole located at intersection with Highway 64 business. The
general condition is fair. The manhole is constructed- of dry stacked block with
1
4

fabricated lid. No inverts in concrete slab bottom. There is one 6-inch influent line
- ` and one 6-inch plastic effluent line. The manhole is approximately 4.5' deep. Flow
through the manhole is restricted by lack of invert.
Manhole #8B. The general condition is fair. This manhole is the same as manhole
= #8A, except that it is only 3' deep.
Manhole #8C. Not located or not built.
Manhole #813. Manhole located at intersection with Bald Street. The manhole is a
.; : TVA constructed manhole, (see reference #1 for explanation) constructed of brick and
mortar on concrete base with well constructed invert. There is one 8-inch PVC and one
6-inch ABS plastic influent line and an 8-inch terra-cotta effluent line. Flow through
the manhole is minimal and unrestricted.
.This section of line was smoke tested at two locations. The smoker was located first on
manhole 8A. No smoke was found along the line and smoke was blown to manhole
#8D. Smoke was detected behind the building adjacent to manhole #8A apparently
from a busted clean-out. Smoke was coming out in front of house #42 and from a few
house _vent pipes. The second location for the smoker was at manhole #8D. Smoke
was blown back to manhole #8A, to manhole #lE on Ritter Road and to manhole at
intersection off of Hickory Street and U.S. 64. No smoke was detected along the lines.
The house at #27 had smoke coming out of the crawl space and smoke was detected in
the yard adjacent to #27 that appeared to bean old service line.
Hickory Street- Fort Hembree Street
All of the manholes were accessible on this section of line. The construction of this
line-is of two different types. Starting at the intersection of Highway 64 business and
manhole DA to the intersection with Bald Street and manhole #9C the manholes are
TVA constructed (see reference #1) with brick and mortar manholes and concrete base
_ with good inverts and 8-inch terra-cotta pipes. From manhole #9D to manhole #9H, at
the end of Fort Hembree street. The line consists of manholes constructed with dry
stacked masonry units on flat concrete slabs with 6-inch ABS plastic pipe. The
manholes #9A 49C are in good condition and manholes #91349H are in fair to poor
condition.
Smoke testing .for this line was done by locating the smoker on manhole #4K on
Highway 64 business. Smoke was blown to manhole OF, to manhole #9D, and to
manhole #8D at the intersection of Hiwassee Street and Bald Street. No smoke was
-71 found along the lines. Smoke was found escaping out of a catch basin in the parking lot
of Joe Woods Automotive, from under the roof of#1177 U.S. 64 business, and from 3
_.� 2
� e

�aa
J
roof vents. The maintenance crew reported that infiltration in this line was due to
found catch basin piped into manhole #4K.. Some of Hickory Streets drainage is also
collected by this catch basin.
-71 Additional Smoke Testing: Manhole 4C was smoke tested to check for possible
infiltration. Smoke was blown downstream to old wastewater treatment plant, upstream
to manhole 4D and across the creek to the manhole at the high school. No smoke was
found along the line. Two manholes, previously reported as damaged, were blowing a
lot of smoke around damaged areas.
Additional Inspection: The sewer line on Sullivan Street, in town, was a TVA
constructed line with brick and mortar manholes with concrete bases and good inverts.
The lines are 8-inch terra-cotta. All the manholes are in good condition.
Reference•
#1: TVA had a construction project in this area in the mid-1940's and constructed most
of the sewer lines in town and from town, down River Road to the Riverside Pump
Station. In addition, TVA lines were constructed on Ritter Road to Bald Street and
down Hickory Street to Highway 64 business. All of the manholes on these lines are
' brick and mortar manholes with concrete bases that have good inverts. The lines are 6-
inch or 8-inch terra-cotta pipe. The majority of the manholes are in excellent condition
and all of the TVA lines are reported as being no maintenance problem.

Hayesville Sewer System Evaluation
All the manholes listed in this report are referenced to the wastewater
collection map for the Town of Hayesville.
Ritter Rd.
The five manholes along Ritter Rd., from the intersection of Hiwassee St.,
were checked. The manholes are of precast concrete. These manholes
_..v receive the flow from the industrial pump station and Desoto Square. The
line was found to be free of most solid debris which would normally restrict
flow. The inverts in all five of these manholes are very shallow. :The+flow
j of water is not adequately directed toward the outfall pipe. AW the
j manholes in this line were noted as having turbulence at the effluent
opening during periods of high flow when the pump stations are running.
Manhole #1A. The general condition of the manhole is good. This
manhole is approximately five feet deep. This manhole has two
four inch forcemain influent lines and one eight inch PVC effluent
line. There is some signs of spawling on the interior of the dome.
Manhole.#1 B. The general condition is good. This manhole is
approximately three feet deep. It was constructed from a dome
section on a flat slab. There is one four inch service line entering
the:manhole.
Manhole #1 C. The general condition is good. This manhole is
constructed of a 24 inch precast dome section on a slab. It is
approximately two and a half feet deep.
Manhole #1 D. This manhole is constructed of a 24 inch precast
dome section on a slab. It has one four inch unconnected service
line stubbed out. The ring has been struck by a mowing machine
and a large piece of the ring is missing. The ring is not property
-grouted to the dome
Manhole #1E. The ring on this manhole is cracked from being hit..
by a mowing machine. The ring has been knocked loose from the
dome section. The influent pipe into the manhole is not seated to
the manhole: It appears the grout has loosened over time. This
allows any standing water in the drainage ditch to enter the
manhole. -

This line was lamped from manhole #1C to manhole #21F. The line
_,71 between manholes #1 C and 91 D was clean, straight and a full circle of
light was visible between the two manholes. The line between manholes
#1 D and #1 E has a bend. Only a reflection of the light beam could be
seen. No light was visible between manholes#1 E and #217.
The line was smoke tested from manhole #1 C to manhole #21F. The only
areas where smoke was found to be escaping was at manholes #1 D and
#1 E. No smoke was found along' the line. The only smoke from the
houses was from the vent stacks.
The drainage ditch running along Ritter Rd. does not drain properly in the
area adjacent to manholes #1 D and #1 E. During periods of.heavy rain,
both manholes are under water. The standing water flows freely into both
manholes through the holes in the broken rings and between the ring and
dome.
Hiwassee St.
This line is six inch ABS plastic, and eight inch terra-cotta with hand built
brick and block manholes. The line was laid along the road, following its
4 curvature.. Along the upper end of the line, it makes several turns without
manholes.
Manhole#2A. This manhole is constructed of brick. The manhole is
located beside the pavement. The lid is below grade. This is the
head end of the line. There are two four inch service lines enieri�►g
the manhole. One of the service lines is from a vacant lot where a
= trailer had been connected. The trailer has since be removed. This
manhole has no invert, and is holding solids and water.
Manhole#213. This manhole is constructed of brick. This manhole
has a six inch line passing through, and one four inch service line
connection. The inlet line is approximately 24 inches above the
bottom°of-the manhole allowing the inlet water to spill into the base.
The manhole has no invert and is holding solids and water.
Manhole #2C. This manhole is constructed of cinder block. The
manhole has a gravel bottom. The line had been cut and a 6X6X4
inch tee installed prior to the construction of the manhole. At soi�le
time the top of thb tee hes been cut open to allow access to the
line: This manhole was not holding any water.
2

m
Manhole #2D. This manhole is constructed of brick. The inlet line
is six inch ABS plastic, and the outlet is eight inch terra-cotta.
There is one four inch plastic service line into the manhole. There
is no invert in this manhole. This manhole is holding water and
solids. There is a 3/4 inch water service line passing through the
manhole.
Manhole #2E. This manhole is constructed of brick. The influent
and effluent lines are eight inch terra-cotta. There is one four inch
service line into the manhole.' The inlet line spills about 18 inches
into the brick invert. A large mat of roots and dirt are present in the
manhole near the influent line.
Manhole 42F. This manhole is precast concrete. This manhole is
the intersecting manhole between Hiwassee St. and Ritter Rd. This
manhole is approximately 12 feet deep. There are two eight inch
I influent lines and one eight inch effluent line. The influent line fro►n
Hiwassee St. enters about eight feet above the invert, spilling into
the manhole. The invert in this manhole is very shallow.
This line was smoke tested from manhole #21D up to manhole #213 with no
.smoke escaping along the line except through roof vents. The section of
line between manholes #21D and 2E was tested, with smoke escaping
between th6 sidewalk and a rock wall. This section of the line is terra-
'cotfa._=-The line was then tested from manhole #2A down to manhole #213.
Smokewas found to escape in the vacant lot where the trailer had been
removed.: Additional smoke was found escaping in the yard of the second
house:on the north side of the road. The final section of line between
_ manfio{es #2E and. #2F were smoke tested. No smoke was found
escaping along this section.
line was observed during a hard rain. Storm water runoff was found
collecting-on the shoulder and entering manhole #2A. The disconnected
four, inch service line, from the trailer site* into this manhole, had a
continuos stream of water entering the manhole. Manhole #213 had water
- :,entering through the holes in the lid and in through the four inch service
line Manhole #2D-had a small amount of water entering through the wall
`around the service line. Observing the amount of water entering manhole
#2F, we estimated the flow to be half a pipe. This is a greater amount
than was observed earlier in the week before the rain.

u

Hwy 69 & SR 1122
This line is PVC with precast concrete manholes.
Manhole #3A. This the head end manhole on this line. There is
one two inch force main from Hardee's entering and one eight inch
PVC line out. This manhole has infiltration between the precast
sections.
Manhole #3B. This manhole is in good condition. It has. some
infiltration between the.sections and around the ring.
Manhole#3C. This manhole is in the intersection of US 69 and SR
1122. Due to traffic, this manhole-was not opened.
Manhole #3D: This. manhole' has one eight, inch line passing
through. There is one four inch line with a 901, ell attached to the
end. The ell was turned up and was holding water like a trap.
Manhole #3E. This manhole has one eight inch line passing
through. There is one four inch service line entering. The manhole
has infiltration between the sections. The ring is not grouted to the
dome section. The lid is below grade beside the road.
A Manhole #3F. This maciholer is in the parking lot of-a restaurant,
and has been paved over.
Manhole #3G: This manhole is an intersecting manhole between
the lines running along SR 1122 and Main St. There-are two eight
inch lines entering and one eight inch line leaving. There is no
invert in this manhole, and it is holding water and solids.
Manhole #3H. There is one eight inch line passing through this
manhole. This manhole has an invert which was built by the town's
maintenance dept.. The ring .is not grouted down. There is
infiltration at the.joints between the sections of the manhole and
under-tiTe ring.
Manhole #31. This manhole is in the parking lot of a business and
was not opened
Manhole #3J. This manhole is covered over in a parking lot and
was not opened.
4

This line was smoke tested from manhole #31), up stream to manhole #3B
and then down stream to manhole #3E. On this section of line, no smoke
was found escaping and was observed only on roof vents. The line was
-' smoke tested from manhole #3G up to manhole #3E and down to manhole
#3H. This test also checked the line up to manhole #3J. There was no
smoke found along this line except from roof vents.
This area was observed during a hard rain. Water accumulated on the lid
of manhole #3E and flowed in around the ungrouted ring and through the
holes in the lid. Vortexes were noted-on top of the lid. By comparing the
flow in manhole #3H during the rain and in the previous days before the
rain, very little additional flow could be noted.
Main trunk line between the Town Creek treatment plant and US 64.
.:This line_is an eight inch terra-cotta pipe with brick manholes.
Manhole#4A. This manhole has a very shallow invert. The ring on
this manhole is cracked and not grouted to the top of the manhole.
Manhole#4B. This manhole has a very shallow invert. This ring on
this manhole is broken with a large piece missing and is not grouted
to the top of the manhole.
Manhole #4C. This manhole is an intersecting manhole between
the main line from town and the line coming from the high school
and the pump stations on the south side of town. The invert was
constructed by breaking the top off the-terra-cotta line and allowing
:.the intersecting line to spill into it. The ring was not grouted to the
top of the manhole.
Manhole #41). This manhole is in Main St. where the line from the
business district intersects the line from the west side of town. The
general condition of this manhole is poor. ' This manhole is about 12
feetdeep.. There is a shallow invert. There are several loose bricks
in the invert.. The six inch line from town, running in the road, enters
the manhole about four feet from the top. A second inlet is about
two feet from the bottom. The crew did not know if there is an
outside drop on this manhole, or if the line is broken and the water
I
has found its way to the bottom inlet.
Manhole#4E. This manhole was not found.
Manhole.#4F. This manhole was not found.
5

Manhole #4G. This manhole is in fair condition. It has a well
formed invert. This manhole has an eight inch line passing through.
There is one six inch ABS plastic line entering the manhole through
an eight inch terra-cotta stub out. There is one four inch service line
connection.
A This manhole was smoke tested because of a heavy flow from the six inch
line. The area.served by this line includes a very few homes, a church,
and the fire & rescue building. All the lines in the manhole were plugged
except for the six inch line. The Smoke test did not reveal anything
abnormal. An odor of chlorine was present in the manhole after the test.
A check of the water coming from the line revealed 2mg/L chlorine. A leak
was later found from a frozen pipe at the church.
7
During the time with no rain, this line was found to be working well. During
the rain storm, manhole #41) was inspected and found to have a large
amount of water coming in through the six inch line from downtown. This
was more water than seen earlier before the rain. The line passing
through the manhole is down stream from the area of Hiwassee St. and
Ritter Rd. This line appeared to be running over half full. Manhole #4G
° had water entering the manhole around the outside of the six inch line
through the eight inch terra-cotta stub out line, and through several cracks
rn thb wall
-Rrverside'St.
This line is a six inch terra-cotta line with brick manholes. The line was
_laid very flat due to the existing grade of the street. Due to.the grade, the
line was holding some water. The town maintenance crew told. me they
have had problems with roots in this line in the past.
The manhole at the intersection of Tusquitte St. and Riverside St.
could not be-opened,
Manhole 45A. This manhole is in good condition and has a good
invert. There was no signs of infiltration around the ring or through
the walls of the manhole.
Manhole#5B. This manhole is on top of a small hill and is about 12
feet deep. There did not appear to be any problems with this
r manhole.
6

Manhole #5C. This manhole is in good condition and has a good
invert. The line,running along Riverside St. intersects the line going
to the Riverside pump station at this manhole.
Manhole #513. This manhole is in good condition. This manhole
t was holding a small'amount of water, due to the flat grade of the
line.
Manhole#5E. This manhole is in good condition, with a good invert.
The flow through the manhole-is good, with no restrictions. The
manhole is clean.
Manhole#5J. This manhole is in good condition, with a good invert.
The flow through the manhole is good with no restrictions. The
manhole is clean.
This line was smoke tested from manhole #5A. The line was plugged
toward manhole #513. A small amount of smoke was observed along the
shoulder of the road toward the intersection with fiusquitte St.
The line was tested from manhole #5A to #5C. Smoke was escaping
along. the shoulder of the road in areas where the line is fairly shallow.
Nothing was seen near manhole#513
The_line was tested from manhole #5C toward #513. Again smoke was
observed along the shoulder of the road where the line is shallow.
=- The=line was tested from manhole#5C toward the end of the road. Smoke
was observed along the shoulder of the road.
This area was observed during the hard rain. Surface runoff was flowing
over the lid of manhole#5A and was entering through the'vent holes: The
lid was pulled on manhole#5C and additional water was observed.
The.fine from manhole #5E toward the pump station could not be checked
due to the thick undergrowth.
= The Riverside pump station is in poor condition. There is no top on the
vault, only a sheet of plywood. The floats are not properly configured to
operate the pumps. The cycles for the pumps are very short. .The high
water alarm does not work.
7

Mill St. and SR 1140
This is a brick manhole, about 14 feet deep. This manhole was checked
on two different occasions. The first time was early in the week before the
rain storm. There did not appear to be very much flow at that time. The
manhole was checked again during the hard rain with no significant
' difference in flow. The town crew said there is never very much flow
CM
through this line. No other manholes are on this line before it reaches the
' Town Creek treatment plant. Due to heavy flow through the manhole at
} the plant, the flow through this line could not be determined during the
t storm.
US 64
The town's maint. crew checked the pump station which served the Ingle's
i Plaza and the area along US'64 in the morning during the hard rain. They
told me they did not noticed any additional flow into the station due to the
x
rain.
Downtown area around the Court House.
:The line around the city square is terra cotta and has brick manholes. The
line was laid very flat and the flow is slow through the manholes.
' Manhole #EA. This manhole,.located in the sidewalk on the east
.'side of'the square, is approximately two feet deep. it is holding
solids. There is one four inch terra-cotta service line coming in, and
one six inch line leaving. There does not appear to be an invert in
the manhole. There is are about four bricks missing above the four
inch service line. There is evidence of infiltration in the area above
-the service line.
Manhole ##613. This manhole is located in the south east corner of
the square in the pavement. It is about three and a half feet deep.
There are solids in the bottom of the manhole. There is a six inch
terra-cotta line passing through the manhole, and has one four inch
service line, and one six inch service line. There is a large piece of
asphalt lying on the service lines. The manhole appears to be
flowing fairly well.
Manhole #6C. This manhole receives flow from three directions. It
appears to be flowing well.

The line was smoke tested from manhole 96B. Smoke was found coming
" out of the ground next to the Booth Gift Shop building. Smoke came from
several holes and around a clean-out adjacent to the building. There is a
small ditch running along the length of the building. The ditch appears to
have formed naturally over time. This area also appears to collect water
during times of rain, as there are signs of water having splattered on the
wall of the building.
Manholes#6D and 6F were paved over and were not opened.
Manhole 46E. This manhole is brick, about two feet deep. The
manhole is holding solids. There is one six inch terra-cotta line
` passing through, with two four inch service lines entering..
j
j The line around the northern portion of the square was smoke tested form
° Manhole 96E. No smoke was found anywhere except from two
disconnected gutter drains. These drains were located above grade and
there is no possibility of rain water entering.
Nprtt Ritteir Rd. and $R 1300
This is a new line with precast concrete manholes. The town crew told me
they have never has any problems with this line since it has been in
service. The line is strapped to the bridge when it crosses the Hiwassee
River toward the Orbit Manufacturing plant.

adversely 'impact the wastewater treatment system, limit the ability to dispose
of/utilize the sludge/residuals and be similar to domestic wastewater for all parameters
that are relaxed as part of the requested SOC. This level of strength can be either prior
to pretreatment or after pretreatment if the applicant is requiring the industry to meet the
pretreated levels. The application must contain a detailed analysis of all parameters that
can be reasonably expected to be contained in the proposed industrial wastewater. The
total nondomestic flow that is requested during the term of 4his order is
gallons per day. A complete breakdown of the
" business/industries and the requested flow for each must be attached.
3. The total flow requested as part of the SOC application (both domestic and
nondomestic) is _ 9,600 gallons per day.
Please be advised that the actual additional flow, if any, that could be
allowed as part of the requested SOC will be determined by a complete
analysis of any projected adverse impact that could be expected as the
result of this additional wastewater on the wastewater treatment facility
and the surface waters.
THIS" APPLICATION PACKAGE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTED BY THE
DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT UNLESS ALL OF
4i THE APPLICABLE ITEMS ARE INCLUDED WITH THE SUBMITTAL
Required Items
a. One original and two copies of the completed and appropriately executed application
form, along with all required attachments. If the SOC request is for a city/town or

TOWN OF HAYESVILLE
ATTACHMENT TO APPLICATION FOR A SPECIAL ORDER BY CONSENT
III. COMPLIANCE HISTORY FOR FACILITY REQUESTING THE SOC:
Below is a listing of Notices of Violation (NOV) for the Hayesville WWTP
over the previous five (5) years:
° .:;: DATE;:::`:::;»:. VIOLATION
1 January, 1988 Total Suspended Solids
2 June, 1988 Total Suspended Solids
3 June, 1989 Flow
Fecal Coliform
4 July, 1989 Flow
Fecal Coliform
5 May, 1990 BOD
6 October, 1990 Fecal Coliform
7 April, 1991 Flow
8 February, 1992 Flow
BOD
9 March, 1992 Flow
The flow violations in June and July, 1989 were due to the effluent flow
meter being out of calibration. The fecal coliform violations were due to loss
of chlorine in the disinfection process step.
The WWTP also received a NOV due to non-payment of the annual
administering and compliance monitoring fee in May, 1992. The fee was paid
on June 6, 1992.
IV. EXPLANATION AS TO WHY SOC IS NEEDED:
The Town of Hayesville's Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) is
presently permitted for 72,000 gpd capacity with secondary limitations (30
mg/I BOD., 30 mg/l TSS). The WWTP has been in periodic violation of its
discharge permit for some time. Violations within in the past five (5) years
RR have included flow, BOD., TSS, and fecal coliform. Planning is currently
_;d

7
underway to upgrade existing treatment components and expand the WWTP's
flow capacity by 25,000 gpd. A new discharge permit is expected to take
effect January 1, 1993 and allow the WWTP to discharge 97,000 gpd under
secondary limitations.
Expansion of the existing WWTP is driven in part by the construction of
a new 80-bed nursing home, expected to employ 60-80 persons and require
9,600 gpd wastewater treatment capacity upon full occupancy. The Town has
secured an Appalachian Regional Commission (ARC) Grant to assist with
WWTP improvements and a sewer line extension to the nursing home. The
Town of Hayesville, Clay County, and Elderberry Nursing Home of North
Carolina, Inc. are also contributing funds to the project.
Construction of the nursing home is expected to be complete by
ry December 1, 1992, at which time sewer service will be required.
Unfortunately, the ARC grant funds will not be available until after September
1, 1992, which does not allow adequate time to complete all the necessary
WWTP improvements. Alternately, the Town wishes to construct the sewer
line extension to the nursing home and the WWTP improvements in separate
phases. The sewer lime would be installed in phase one with the WWTP
improvements constructed in phase two. This arrangement will provide the
proposed nursing home with timely sewer service and allow a suitable time
period to complete the WWTP improvements. Issuance of an SOC is critical to
the implementation of this two-phase plan. The SOC will provide the Town
protection under its existing permit until such time as the new discharge permit
takes effect and the WWTP improvements are complete.
The WWTP violates BODS and TSS limits due largely to diurnal flow
fluctuations which encourage biosolids washouts. Proposed improvements to
the existing flow equalization basin including new flow division box and tank
extension should alleviate this condition. Flow violations have occurred during
wet weather periods, caused by excessive stormwater inflow into the sewer
system. In the last several years, the Town has isolated and repaired several
sections of existing sewer with inflow problems. While this has significantly
reduced peak flows, the additional aeration capacity proposed in the scope of
d improvements along with increased permitted capacity will prevent future flow
violations.
Finally, fecal coliform violations have admittedly been due to operator
error. The Town has hired an additional operator to insure that disinfection is
maintained on a continuous basis.
V. EXPLANATION OF ACTIONS TAKEN BY THE APPLICANT TO MAXIMIZE THE
EFFICIENCY OF THE FACILITY PRIOR TO REQUESTING THE SOC:

The Town's WWTP uses the complete mix, extended aeration activated
sludge process. Constructed in the 19`60's, the original WWTP includes a bar
screen, aeration basin, clarifier and aerobic digester. The WWTP has been
upgraded twice in the past 10 years, replacing the original surface aerator with
blowers to deliver diffused air, and adding chlorination and flow measurement
capability. The most recent upgrade added influent equalization, pumping and
effluent dechlorination facilities.
The Town has improved operations efficiency at the WWTP recently,
adding a third certified operator to assist with day-to-day operations.
Furthermore, the Town has rehabilitated several sections of sewer line serving
the WWTP which contribute significant amounts of stormwater inflow. The
Town has recently contracted to perform smoke testing in the collection system
to isolate additional inflow problem areas.
Past effluent limitation violations at the WWTP have been a direct result
of influent hydraulic surges which upset the activated sludge process. These
peak flows tend to "washout" the active biomass contained in the aeration
tank, leading to immediate effluent degradation and longer term treatability
,. inefficiency. While the existing equalization tank does attenuate peak flows to
some extent, it lacks sufficient volume and requires modification in order to
perform effectively. Field Personnel at the DEM Western Regional Office
Asheville can confirm these observations.

ENGINEERING PROPOSAL
APPLICATION FOR NPDES PERMIT RENEWAL
TOWN OF HAYESVILLE
CLAY COUNTY, NORTH CAROLINA
JUNE, 1991
I. GENERAL
The Town of Hayesville currently operates a wastewater treatment plant
(WWTP) which is allowed to discharge 72,000 gpd of treated effluent to Town
Creek under NPDES Permit No. NC0026697. The location of the WWTP is
shown on Figure One attached. Effluent limitations are secondary with
monthly averages of 30 mg/L BOD, 30 mg/L TSS and 1000/100 ml Fecal
Coliform. The WWTP is operating near hydraulic capacity at the present
time.
The Town recognizes the need to expand the WWTP in the near future so
that sewer service will be available to accommodate perceived future growth.
Accordingly, the Town is applying for a flow increase of 25,000 gpd to 97,000
gpd total average flow under their existing permit in conjunction with the
normal permit renewal process.
II. EXISTING PLANT
The Town maintains and operates a complete mix, extended aeration
activated sludge wastewater treatment plant, originally constructed in 1964.
Original plant components include bar screen, aeration basin, clarifier and
aerobic digester. The treatment plant has been upgraded twice in the past
ten (10) years, replacing the original surface aerators with blowers to deliver
diffused air, and adding chlorination and flow measurement capability. The
most recent upgrade added influent equalization and pumping and
dechlorination facilities. A schematic of the existing treatment components
is shown in Figure Two attached.

III. PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
The existing WVVfP will require that certain improvements be made in order
to process the additional flow. These improvements include the addition of
a 25,000 gpd package treatment unit the Town presently has in storage.
Chlorination facilities will also need to be expanded by extending the existing
chlorine contact basin and constructing a new loading dock for chlorine
cylinder transfer. A new influent splitter box is proposed to divide incoming
flow between the new and existing aeration units. The proposed orientation
of the required improvements is shown on Figure Three attached.
