The Moore County Water Pollution Control Plant is located at 1060 Addor Road in
Pinebluff, North Carolina and operates under Permit # NC0037508. The facility is
designed to treat 6.8 million gallons a day (MGD) and consist of a raw sewage pump
station, a mechanical bar screen, grit removal system, three sedimentation tanks, 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 Southern 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. is the contract operator at the wastewater plant and works

with the Public Utilities department to maintain the interceptor lines and stations in the
system.
