Belinda,
Good morning, Just to let you know we fininshed the project yesterday around 5pm and are back to
normal operation. Im happy to say it went smooth for the most part although because of a minor glitch
that needed to be fixed on the pump I was unable -to chlorinate/dechlorinate ,because of having no
water, from late Monday untill yesterday at 5pm. Because I'm only using one basin I had the other basin
(AB2) only 20% full just incase we needed a temporary storage for a situation like this to hold our
incoming flow, but nothing was dicharged during that period as it only filled it to maybe 60% full.
Therefore I wont have any data such as effluent PH, temp, etc. for those two days since we didnt
discharge anything. As far as discharging to Bear Creek that of course was done before the water
connection had to be made and the plant was in normal operation, it was a total of 1 1/2 days (about 30-
32 hrs.) and there were no problems. Total flow to Bear Creek would be about .150 MG. I can now slowly
drain AB2 basin back to AB1 which I am currently using. Again everything looks good and hopefully this
will work out really well and save the Town money. Please contact me if you have questions or if there is
anything else I need to do. Thanks
Rodney

Belinda,
I wanted to give you a update, Everything went very well and quick. We were able to put the plant back
to normal flow on the outfall line by around 600 pm Friday. There were no problems this weekend. We
have to draw it down one more time either today or tomm. and will discharge back to Bear creek for
maybe a half day while they make one last repair. I will keep you posted, Thanks
Rodney

Belinda,
I wanted to let you know we started the bypass to Bear creek today about 5pm. Everything is going
smooth with no problems so far. I called your office and left a voicemail to Mark Brantly. As soon as it
ends I will also notify your office. Thanks again

Subject: Effluent discharge
Dear Mrs. Henson,
I am writing this email concerning the Robbins WWTP. We are currently in the beginning stages of a
long awaited effluent water reclamation plan. We currently use around 40,000 gallons per day of potable
water for our chlorine and sulfer dioxide gas disinfection/dechlorination system. By using treated effluent
water it will greatly decrease water use and save money in the long run. Because this will require draining
the effluent aeration box, which is where the 2 new reclaimed water pumps will be, we will have to
temporarily remove the outfall line from service and therefore discharge our effluent water to nearby Bear
creek. This was this original discharge water way before the outfall line was installed to pipe our water all
the way to Deep river in the 1980's. We would like permission to discharge to Bear creek for a period of
hopefully no more than 4-5 days but maybe as short as 2 days (this would give us an extra day or two to
locate air relief valves along outfall line if needed) The actual pump installtion should only take about 2
2

days and total bypass pumping to Bear creek could be as little as 2-3 days. We are currently averaging
about .130-.140 MGD. If you need any further information or have questions please call me anytime, cell-
910-690-1183 or email rkiser883©hotmail.com. I will call when the bypass starts and ends when system
is back online. The contractor is hoping to install pumps and start the bypass by 4/28 or 4/29 if
everything goes as planned but I will let you know. Thanks again
Sincerely
Rodney Kiser, Robbins WWTP Manager/ORC
