Description of Collection System or Treatment Process:
The wastewater discharged by the Southern Pines Water Plant is generated by the
filter backwash operation. The filter backwash enters a 180,000 gallon circular -
sedimentation basin. The water is allowed to settle and sludge concentrates on a
conical shape bottom. The sludge that settles is conditioned and transferred via
two 200 gpm sludge pumps to one of six 300 foot sand drying beds. The clarified
water is collected at the top of the basin through two ports, one at the top of the
column and one 12 feet below the surface. Normal operations have the second
level closed and the top port open. The clarified effluent is collected in a pump
chamber and with sufficient level increase, is pumped to discharge via two 800 gpm
discharge pumps. The flow is metered by a mechanical meter on an "6" inch
discharge line. The effluent enters Aberdeen Creek approximately 2 miles away.
II. Compliance Performance
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR) regulates the Town of Southern Pines effluent discharge under the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The NCDENR
issued to the Town a NPDES Permit, which includes water quality limits and
sampling and monitoring requirements. The NPDES Permit requires the Town to
test more than 15 different constituents in the treated water. The monitoring
frequency for these constituents are set at various intervals such as continuous,
daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly. During the reporting period, the Town
conducted 288 tests of the treated water before it was discharged to the creek.
The WWTP achieved a compliance level of 100% with the NPDES Permit
requirements. Following is a summary of the testing for the parameters, which
are assigned Water Quality standards by the NPDES Permit. Please note the

summary does not include parameters, which incorporates a monitoring
requirement only, nor does it include daily process control testing.

Creek. The second occurred on May 12, 2011 with an estimated 200 gallons released into a
storm drain along Hwy 15-501in front of Bill Smith Mazda which eventually feeds Aberdeen
