extended aeration activated sludge process including preliminary, secondary
clarification and air flotation sludge thickening with support process and land
application of biosolids
Potable Water Plant — The water plant treats alum sludge which is a by product of
water treatment. Sludge is thickened and held in a lagoon until it is land applied in
conjunction with the biosolids from the wastewater plant.

Performance
Black River Wastewater Treatment Plant — The plant had two violations for the
reporting period of July 1999 through June 2000.
September 1999 — The treatment plant was out of compliance on pH for seven (7)
days. The violations were attributed to the heavy rains from Hurricane Floyd.
