Description of Proposed Discharge
The Cleveland County Sanitary District has a water works
filtration plant, which it is enlarging to six million gallons
per day, on the north side of the First Broad River approximately
two miles upstream (northwest along North Carolina Road 1004)
from North Carolina Highway 182 at-Lawndale, North Carolina.
This location is shown on the attached general plan, Exhibit A.
The sanitary wastes are disposed of in'an approved septic tank
and drainfield on the site. Expected flow - 50 gallons per day.
The filter backwash and settling basin drain discharge.to a
245,000 gallon decant pond where water will be decanted. Solids
will be removed periodically and dried on a sludge bed with the
decant water and sludge bed drainage going to the First Broad River.
Dried solids will be disposed on in an approved method on the
District's property. The drying facilities are under construction.
Data is being developed for a North Carolina Application for "Land
Application of Residual Solids".

The raw water intake sand removal system is already permitted.

a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are
sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average" in Part I of the permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of ally�n w which daily.

discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found
by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this
sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as
"Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit.

6. C'onco ratiOn Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria„ is the sum
of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar
month on which daily discharges arc sampled and measured, divided by the number of
daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the
daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted
by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average
monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for
samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly
Average under Other Units" in Part I of the permit
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is a calendar
e sum
of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during
week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided
by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week
(arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is
equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the
arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that

Size (land available for expansion and upgrading): There is
adequate land available for future expansion and upgrading.
8. Topography (relationship to flood plain included): Moderate
slopes; the WTP is not located within the 100 year flood
plain.
9. Location of nearest dwelling: None within 500 feet of the
treatment facilities.

c. Describe receiving stream features and pertinent
downstream uses: The receiving stream is a moderate
size stream with a rocky/sandy bottom. Below the
discharge point the stream appears to have a mostly
sandy bottom.' The classification of the stream changes
approximately 0.5 mile downstream to "C"; however, the
stream changes back to a WS-III classification at the
Cleveland Mills Hydroelectric Dam.

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The applicant, Cleveland County Sanitary District, has
applied for an NPDES Permit for the discharge of wastewater from
the Water Treatment Plant.
The facility is currently being operated as a recycle
system. The District wishes to discharge the wastewater
generated to improve the water treatment plant's operations. The
Division of Health Services' Water Supply Branch has recommended
that the facility discharge the wastewater.
It is recommended that the Permit be issued. The facility
may also be covered under the new Water Treatment Plant General
Permit when issued.
