This is a revised letter for the even on 10/26/07 at Woodlake WWTP. The plant
experienced an upset due to heavy rainfall in a short amount of time causing a surge in
flow at the WWTP. This surge created a discharge of solids starting at 14:35. The
operator turned off the blowers to stop the solids from going out. At approximately 16:50
the effluent cleared and only pin floc was going out. Trace amounts of solids went out
from 16:50 on 10/26/07 until 13:00 on 10/27/07. At that point the blowers were turned
back on. The plant is healthy and shows no signs of a significant loss of solids. The vac -
truck was used to clean the chlorine contact chamber and trace solids from the bank of
the ditch at the outfall. There were no solids in the bed of the ditch leading to the creek.
Just before the heavy rain Atlantic Dewatering was dewatering sludge from the digester
and return decant back to influent. This was stopped immediately after heavy flow
started coming in.
Please find the correct WWTP Upset, Spill or By-pass 5day Report included with this
letter.' The original gallons estimated was from the time that the plant started losing
solids until the effluent was completely clear. The revised estimation is from the time of
the upset until only pin floc started going out.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact me at 252-236-1422.
incerely,

Dear Ma'am,
I'm sending you this letter in regard to the discharge of solids my plant experience on
October 26, 2007 due to the recent rain event. Woodlake Country Club WWTP is only
designed for 80,000 gallons. I witness the discharge of solids ® 2:35 P_M. and then call
DWQ I left a message with contact number. 1 turned off my blowers to try and leviate
some solids from going out and let my solids settle overnight. Saturday 10/27 I returned
to the plant @ 7:00 AM. to see if the solids stopped going out of the plant they didn't
stop until about 1:00 P.M. that same day. The flow I calculated for Friday 10/ 26 was
.177 MG this was how my plant was hydraulically overloaded due to the rain event that
occurred last week. During my visit to the plant on Saturday my effluent meter was still
reading a .165 MG leaving the plant that morning and my rain gauge read 2". Monday
10/29 my visit to the plant I started to pump out my contact chamber and send those
solids that settled out over the weekend into the small digester that was available. My
calculated gallons for discharge was 80,000. My plan of action that I can do to prevent a
possible occurrence is just simply plan ahead and keep an eye on weather. Also my
digesters should be completely empty so I. can divert flow of any solids to them. I can
also have my down basin empty as well, because basically it's a matter of having space to
move water. 1 hope this letter can explain my spill that occurred at Woodlake WWTP and
if there are any further question you can call ®919-842-0775.
Professionally,
Jen Anderson Jr.
