The Moore County Water Pollution Control Plant is located at 1094 Addor Road in
Aberdeen, North Carolina and operates under Permit # NC0037508. The facility is
designed to treat 6.7 million gallons a day (MGD) and consist 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 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 Town's of Aberdeen, Carthage, Pinebluff, Pinehurst, and
Southem Pines. The facility also gets flow from Camp MacKall through a line that feeds
directly into the facilities pump station. As part of this collection system there are 13
monitoring stations that record flow information and three pumping stations that help lift
the wastewater to the gravity lines. Moore County is the owner of the wastewater plant
and collection system. It is also responsible for the Pinehurst Collection system that is
made up of over 20 miles of force mains and 150 miles of gravity lines. American Water
Services, Inc. was the contracted operator at the wastewater plant for the fiscal year and
worked with the Public Utilities department to maintain the interceptor lines and stations
in the system.

H. Performance
July 2001 No overflows or permit violations.
August 2001 No overflows or permit violations.
September 2001 No overflows or permit violations.
October 2001 Due to the rule of reporting (where the report date is the date the
most hours of sampling occurred) the data collected on October
1, 2001 will actually be reported on the September 30, 2001 line
of the September DMR
November 2001 No overflows or permit violations.
December 2001 No overflows or permit violations.
January 2002 No overflows or permit violations.
February 2002 No overflows or permit violations
March 4, 2002 Manhole overflow at 9th fairway on #7 golf course in Pinehurst
due to grease build up in sewer line. Estimated volume of spill
was 501- 1000gals. Spill did reach irrigation pond. Blockage was
cleared and Don Register of NCDENR - DWQ was notified on
March 4, 2002 at 2:OOpm.
April 9, 2002
Aberdeen #7 Lift station did bypass from the manhole just prior
to the wetwell and flowed to a local unnamed excavation pit
adjacent to the pump station. The excavation pit was constructed
several years ago to serve as a water source for irrigation. There
is no influent or effluent stream to the pit. Since the land is no
longer farmed and hasn't been farmed for years the pit isn't
currently being used. Ken Averitte (NCDWQ) was informed the
day of the bypass.
1. Estimated volume of spill — The station has an average flow
of 20,568 gallons per day. The wet well has a 6,580 gallon
capacity and the pumps are designed to turn on and off at
approximately 20% capacity maintaining approximately
1,316 gallons at all times. We do not know the capacity of
the wet well when the station lost power. With this in mind
we have estimated the spill to be a maximum of 3,428
gallons assuming the wet well was full when the station lost
power.
2. How long to make initial assessment and repair — Our
operator arrived at the station at 11:45 AM. He assessed the
problem, started the generator, and had the station operating
within minutes. He then called the office via a cell phone.

maintenance crew to thoroughly check the station and
contacted CP&L who was already working on the problem.
