TOWN OF NEWTON GROVE
SLUDGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Town of Newton Grove operates a wastewater treatment plant for 100% domestic
sewer users under NPDES permit #NC0072877. The wastewater treatment plant is a
conventional activated sludge facility and generates approximately 250,000 gallons of waste
activated sludge per year. The sludge is pumped to a 54,000 gallon aerobic digester for
stabilization. The sludge is then pumped onto a permitted tract of land, (NPDES permit
#WQ0010470), for sludge application. The process includes a 15 h.p. pump and a 3" header pipe
installed on 7.4 acres located beside the treatment plant. Sludge is sprayed evenly across the
application field by use of 1.5" risers with diffuser heads located throughout the field. Hull
bermuda grass and oats are grown on the site and harvested by local farmers for cattle feed.
The Town of Newton Grove has a remote field consisting of 33.7 acres located off US
Hwy 13 next to Interstate 40. Sludge can be pumped from the digester and hauled to the site
using trucks and disced into the ground because several different crops are grown on the site at
different timesof the year. This site is a contingency site should it be needed. All sludge is
tested annually and reported as required by NPDES permit #WQ0010470 to NCDWQ. An
Annual Report of all sludge application activities is generated each year as required by permit
#WQ0010470.
This Plan shall remain in effect as long as.the treatment plant is in operation and sludge is
generated by the treatment process. •

TOWN OF NEWTON GROVE
TREATMENT PLANT NARRATIVE
Permit #NC0072877
The Town of Newton Grove Wastewater Treatment Plant receives
wastewater flow through a 6" force main from the main lift station located behind
Two Dogs Pi zza on Clinton Street US Hwy 701. In addition, wastewater is
received via a 4" force main from Hobbton School located on US 701
approximately four miles south of the treatment plant. The wastewater enters the
plant through a manual bar screen and into a 54,000 gallon sloped side Flow
Equalization Basin. The water is then pumped from the EQ Basin at a constant
rate of 0.056 mgd into a circular oxidation ditch consisting of one rotor brush
with a 10 foot center clarifier. Treated water then exits the clarifier and flows
into a rectangular traveling bridge sand filter. Water exits the filter and flows into
a rectangular flow chamber with a 60° V-notch weir with an ultrasonic flow
meter. Water then enters an ultraviolet light bank for disinfection. Water exits
light bank and flows over a step aerator before entering Beaverdam Swamp.
The treatment plant has a state of the art backup generator that is tested
weekly and will start in less than 30 seconds in the event of power failure, thus no
processes are interrupted. Should the generator fail to start during a power outage
or failure, after ten minutes an autodialer is programmed to call out to report
generator failure. Waste activated sludge is pumped to a 54,000 gallon sloped
side aerobic digester located at the back end of the plant. Biosolids are then
sprayed onto an adjacent 7.5 acre permitted Land Application site for disposal.
Hull Bermuda grass and oats are grown on the spray field and harvested for hay
by local farmers. Hay from the harvest is fed to cattle.

Subject: Renewal of NPDES Permit NC0072877
Newton Grove WWTP
Sampson County
Your firm's NPDES permit for the subject facility expires on January 31, 2012. This notice is being sent to
explain the requirements for your permit renewal application.
Federal (40 CFR 122) and state (15A NCAC 2H.0105 (e)) regulations require that permit renewal
applications be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. Your renewal application is
due to the Division no later than August 4, 2011. Failure to apply for renewal by the appropriate deadline
can result in a civil penalty assessment or other enforcement activity at the discretion of the Director.
If your facility is still discharging any wastewater, this permit must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater
without a valid permit violates North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and could result in assessment of
civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
Use the attached checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must
submit with the permit renewal application. If all wastewater discharge has ceased at this facility and you
wish to rescind this permit, please contact me. My telephone number, fax number and e-mail address are
listed at the bottom of the previous page.

showing the authority delegated to the Authorized Representative (see Part II.B.11.b of
the existing NPDES permit).
o A narrative description of the sludge management plan for the facility. Describe how
sludge (or other solids) generated during wastewater treatment are handled and

o Industrial facilities classified as Primary Industries (see Appendix A to Title 40 of the

package is otherwise ready to submit, submit the application package without the PPA.
Submit the PPA as soon as possible. This requirement also applies to municipal facilities
with active pretreatment programs.
The above requirement does NOT apply to non -industrial facilities.
