Town of Robbinsville
PO Box 129
Robbinsville NC 28771

Subject: Special Order by Consent
Robbinsville WWTP
Permit No. NC0025879
Graham County

Dear Mayor Cagle:
Based on information obtained during our meeting of April 28, 2010, this Office understands that the
Town of Robbinsville wishes to pursue entering into a Special Order by Consent (SOC) with the Division of
Water Quality. This order will address much needed improvements to the current wastewater treatment plant
(WWTP) and if the Town chooses, the wastewater collection system could be included in the SOC so
improvements can be made to the Town’s collection system. You are encouraged to submit your application
for the SOC knowing that you have this Office’s full support of your decision to do so.
Based on the inspection conducted by Asheville Regional Office staff on February 25, 2010, there are
numerous maintenance items and improvements that need to be addressed at the current WWTP.
Specifically, immediate action should be taken to repair/replace the influent bar screen to prevent plastics, etc.
from entering the plant. The clarifier skimmer needs repair to assure that it works properly. D rop lines and
diffusers in the aeration basin should be replaced/repaired. Additionally, there is no telemetry or stand-by
power for the influent pump station. It is also apparent that there is no on -site solids treatment at the WWTP.
As a part of the SOC application, it should be noted that the present WWTP is landlocked which
prevents any expansion at the current location. The Town must include an evaluation of a new site location
along with plans for a new WWTP. If you should have any questions regarding this matter, please do not
hesitate to contact Keith Haynes or me at 828/296-4500.
Sincerely,

Roger C. Edwards, Regional Supervisor
Surface Water Protection
