On July 20, 1999 the North Carolina General Assembly signed Into law House Bill 1160, the Clean Water
Act of 1999. This legislation has placed significant, new reporting requirements on ,those entities that own or
operate wastewater treatment and collection systems. The owner, operators must provide an annual report
to its users or customers and to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources that summarizes the
treatment works or collection systems performance over a twelve- month period. The report shall also state
the extent to which any terms of its permit, federal laws, or any State laws, regulations or rules related to
the protection of water quality have been violated.
The following is an Annual Performance Report for the City of Rockingham's Wastewater Treatment Plant
and Sewer Collection System for the period July 1, 2006 to June 30, 2007.
The City of Rockingham operates a 9-MGD (million gallons per day) wastewater treatment plant and
composting facility located on Byrd Drive in Rockingham. Sewage is transported to the treatment plant from
both households and industries through a collection system that consist of approximately 90 miles of pipes
and 26 sewage pumping stations. The wastewater treatment plant is an extended aeration system that.
removes substances from the sewer water primarily through biological treatment and discharges the deaned
water into the Pee Dee River. Substances removed from the sewer water are then converted into compost
and distributed to the public free of charge to be used for agricultural and horticultural purposes.
WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT PERFORMANCE
The City's wastewater treatment plant operates under limits established by the North Carolina Division of
Water Quality. It is required by the State that the City meet an 85% removal rate on both BOD (biochemical
oxygen demand), and TSS (total suspended solids) which are the primary substances in sewage. For this
reporting period, the City exceeded these requirements with an average removal rate of 98% on BOD and
an average removal rate of 98% on TSS. The lowest percent removal rate for BOD for the twelve-month
period was 94%. The lowest percent removal rate for TSS for the twelve-month period was 96%.
Approximately 2750 tons of BOD and 977 tons of Suspended Solids were removed from the water treated at
the wastewater treatment plant during this reporting period. During this reporting period the City treated
approximately 1.492 billion gallons of sewage at the wastewater treatment plant.

pumping stations during this reporting period.

the wastewater treatment plant to insure the protection of our natural environment._
