Treatment Plant & Collection System Description:
The Moore County Water Pollution Control Plant is located at 1094 Addor Road
in Aberdeen, North Carolina and operates under Permit No. NC0037508. The
facility is designed to treat 6.7 million gallons a day (MGD) and consists of a raw
sewage pump station, a mechanical bar screen, grit removal system, two primary
clarifiers, two intermediate clarifiers, two final clarifiers, two aeration tanks, two
digesters, and a chlorination/dechlorination system. The treatment plant uses a
biological treatment process to remove pollutants in the wastewater that can
potentially be harmful to the environment and to the receiving stream. The
facility uses anaerobic digestion to treat the sludge removed from the wastewater
and sand drying beds are used to dry the material that is taken to a lined landfill.
These processes are maintained by operators certified by the state of North
Carolina and are inspected yearly by the North Carolina Division of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDENR). Reports are submitted monthly to the state
that contain all the results of testing done on the incoming raw wastewater and
treated water discharged from the plant. This facility has been in compliance with
all permit limits set by the state and has passed with a satisfactory rating on this
year's inspection. The treated water that is discharged from the facility goes into
Aberdeen Creek in the Lumber River Basin. The wastewater enters the facility
from a collection system that is made up of approximately 15 miles of gravity
sewer lines that is capable of handling 32 MGD. This interceptor system is tied
into the collection systems of the following municipalities: Aberdeen, Carthage,
Pinebluff, Pinehurst, and Southern Pines. The facility also receives flow from
Camp MacKall through a line that feeds directly into the facility's pump station.
As part of this collection system, there are 13 monitoring stations that record flow
information and two pumping stations that help lift the wastewater to the gravity
1

lines. Moore County is the owner of the wastewater plant and collection system.
It is also responsible for the Pinehurst Collection system that consistsof over 20
miles of force mains, 150 miles of gravity lines, and 38 pumping stations.

The Town of Vass Wastewater Plant is located on South Street in Vass, North Carolina, and
operates under Permit No. NC0074373.. The facility is designed to treat 60,000 gallons a day and
consists of a bar screen, flow splitter box, two aeration basins, two clarifiers, and a tablet
chlorination system. The treatment plant uses a biological treatment process to remove
pollutants in the wastewater that can potentially be harmful to the environment and to the
receiving stream. The facility uses aerobic digestion to treat the sludge removed from the
wastewater and the sludge is taken to the Moore County Water Pollution Control Plant for
disposal. These processes are maintained by operators certified by the state of North Carolina,
and are inspected yearly by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (NCDENR). Reports are submitted monthly to the state that contain all the results of
testing done on the incoming raw wastewater and treated water discharged from the plant. The
Vass Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) passed with a satisfactory rating on this year's
inspection. The treated water that is discharged from the facility goes into Little River in the
Cape Fear River Basin. The wastewater enters the facility from a collection system that is made
up of approximately 8.53 miles of gravity sewer lines. As part of this collection system, there are
two pumping stations that help transport the wastewater to the gravity lines. Moore County is
the owner of the wastewater plant and collection system.
