Based on the period from June 1996 to June 1997 the Town of Alexander
Mills WWTP is operating at 75.60 of design capacity. During rainfall
events the WWTP exceeds the design capacity due to inflow/infiltration.
On typical days the WWTP will not have problems treating this wastewater.
The town officials are aware of the requirements of 2H .0223. The NPDES
Permit expires November 30, 1998, this office will encourage the Town of
Alexander Mills to connect to the Town of Forest City wastewater
collection and treatment system. The Town of Alexander Mills is located
approximately 0.5 miles from a Town of Forest City pump station. This
should make the int9rconnection possible during the next,NPDES Permitting
cycle.
