To: Paul Clark
Non Point Source Planning Unit
From: Toya Fields
Western NPDES Unit
Subject: CWMTF Proposal
Project ID: 2006B-514
Town of Mooresville, Rocky River WWTP
NPDES No. NC0046728
This request from the Town of Mooresville is to build the infrastructure to prepare for
the development of a 19 MGD regionalized WWTP that would serve the Town of
Mooresville, the Town of Troutman, and Catawba County. Mooresville expects its
current 5.2 MGD capacity will be exceeded by mid-2009. The treatment plant
currently discharges to Dye Branch, which is 303(d) listed as impaired due to sediment.
Dye Branch is a tributary to the Rocky River. A biological TMDL for the Rocky River is
currently in its preliminary stages
From the perspective of the NPDES Unit, there are several factors that could benefit
water quality in this area:
> Regionalization. This area is growing rapidly and the NPDES unit supports
attempts to regionalize wastewater systems.
> Reuse. The facility is proposing to reuse a significant portion of its
wastewater, which could reduce strain on impaired and protected receiving
streams.
> Diversion of wastewater. Dye Branch is currently impaired. If the Rocky
River WWTP were simply to increase its discharge from 5.2 MGD to 19 MGD
at this location, it could have a negative effect on the biological life in the
receiving stream.
The NPDES Unit would have no objection to this request

PROJECT INFORMATION (Up to 135 points**)
1) Restoration of degraded waters and protection of pristine waters (0-45
points). These points will be awarded based on information provided in the
supplemental questions for each project type. It is very important that all
questions are fully answered.
The Rocky River Wastewater Treatment Plant (RRWWTP) is located in the Town of Mooresville,
N C The plant, originally constructed in 1962, is a completely mixed activated sludge -based
treatment facility. Currently, the plant discharges treated effluent into Dye Branch which is a
tributary of the Rocky River (Figure 1). Based on population projections, the Town of Mooresville
will exceed its current wastewater treatment capacity by mid- 2009. Additionally, the Town will
become a regional system by accepting wastewater from two neighboring service areas (the Town of
Troutman and Catawba ('army)_ Within theadkin River Basin, the tzoiver and Dye Branch
are reported as being impaired on the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources (NC DENR) Division of Water Quality (DWQ) 2006 Draft 303(d) List of Impaired Waters.
CWMTF Application- June 2006 Cyde
P:IMooresvilleNCTownO113301321Funding12006 CWMTF Applicatian_FINAL.doc

The source of impairment in Dye Branch was found to be minor municipal point source (RRWWTP)
and urban runoff. This project thereby proposes the following objectives; 1) meet the wastewater
treatment needs of the Mooresville regional area; 2) treat wastewater to produce a higher quality
effluent in accordance with the 2003 Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basimvide Water Quality Plan in an
effort to improve water quality and stream health in the Rocky River basin; and, 3) limit future
discharges to surface waters including Dye Branch and the Catawba River, by implementing
commercial and industrial reuse. Due to uncertainties surrounding obtaining an Interbasin Transfer
(IBT) certificate to take water from the Catawba River Basin and discharge water in the Rocky
River sub -basin, it is proposed that the Town of Mooresville convey the majority of treated effluent
to the Catawba River Basin or a combination of potential discharges which include surface water,
industrial reuse e Duke En Marshal team a o vi e ' unto pa o
ourse (MMGC), and other reuse locations to be determined. Funding is requested for the treated
?fluent transmission main to return water to the Catawba River Basin and reuse locations.

5) Describe any special recreational uses of specific waters. (0-5 points)
Include information related to national or state designations, and other
significant recreational uses.
Recreational opportunities are abundant at Lake Norman. Public boat access is available, as well as
private access from the residential community surrounding this reservoir on the Catawba River. Popular
recreational activities include boatin& fishin& and swimming.
6) Describe how the project contributes to an integrated ecological network.
(0-5 points) Include information on old -growth forests, pristine wetlands or
other areas, connectivity to other protected areas, mature ecological systems.
While restoration is not a focus of this project, measures are in place to minimize impacts to
natural areas during construction of the Lake Norman transmission main. There are no
known old -growth forests or pristine wetlands along the proposed transmission main route.
There are however, forested areas within the project area. For example, the Rocky River runs
through a heavily forested portion of the RRWWTP parcel and the Town is committed to
preserving this area on the property throughout the expansion project. While the Rocky River
and Dye Branch have been included on DWQs 2006 Draft 303(d) list, the Rocky River
downstream of the RRWWTP has been listed as a potential habitat for the Carolina
heelsplitter.
7) How does your proposed project support water quality goals outlined in NC
Division of Water Quality's Basinwide Water Quality Plan and the NC
Ecosystem Enhancement (EEP) Program's (formally NC Wetlands
Restoration Program) Watershed Restoration Plans? (Make page specific
CWMTF Application- June 2006 Cycle
P:IMooresvilleNCTown01‘3301321Funding12006 CWMTF Application_FINAL.doc

references to the plans, and explain how your project will solve documented
problems and ensure protection or restoration). (0-15 points) (See the
following links for information about these plans: DWQ Basinwide Plans
(http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/basinwide/) and NCEEP's Watershed Restoration
Plans (htto://www.nceeD.net/services/restplans/watershedplans.html).
Current receiving streams for the RRWWTP are Iisted as impaired on the DWQs 2006 Draft 303(d) list.
Proposed upgrades to the RRWWTP process will produce higher quality effluent to meet the more
stringent limits of 5mg/l BOD and lmg/1 NH3-N (currently limits are set at 24mg/l BOD and 2mg/l NH3-
N; summer) outlined in Section B, Chapter 11, pg. 220 of the 2003 Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basinwide
Water Quality Plan.
Proposed locations for alternative discharges would return water to the Catawba River Basin and
reduce the Town's future IBT. Commercial and industrial reuse of wastewater effluent could potentially
reduce demands on water resources and protect habitats.
The North Carolina Ecosystem Enhancement Program's (NCEEP), 2003 Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin
Watershed Restoration Plan has identified Targeted Local Watersheds within the basin which have the
need and opportunity for restoration, enhancement and preservation of water. The EEP targets
watersheds with existing and potential water quality problems resulting from non -point source
pollution. The upper Rocky River Watershed has been identified in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin
Watershed Plan (pgs. 2-4) as needing significant stream and wetland restoration efforts. Alternative
discharge scenarios proposed in this project would reduce or eliminate future effluent discharges to the
streams in the Rocky River sub -basin including Dye Branch and Rocky River. A reduction in effluent
flow could also reduce chances of stream bank erosion and altered channel hydrology due to higher
flows.
8) What will be the measurable and enduring outcomes of the project? (0-15
points) Include information on whether project is ready to go or needs
additional development and preparation, measures to document success or
water quality improvement as a result of the project, connection to broader
water quality initiatives in the watershed.
An overall improvement in water quality to Dye Branch and the Rocky River can be measured by
monitoring parameters over time such as benthic macroinvertebrates communities, fish populations,
turbidity, and fecal coliform concentrations at State sampling stations downstream of the RRWWTP.
Measure the volume of water utilized for reuse purposes, which offsets surface water withdrawals and
discharges.
Another measure is the environmental benefit gained from having a greater number of customers
utilizing the regional treatment facility. Fewer treatment systems operating at lower effluent limits will
be required Therefore, a greater volume of wastewater will undergo a more rigorous treatment regime,
producing a higher quality effluent that may be discharged for reuse or to an unimpaired large volume
water body.
9) Does the project employ innovative procedures or technology? If so, what
are the implications for water quality? (0-5 points)
Commercial and industrial reuse of treated effluent will be employed.
Current gaseous chlorine disinfection techniques will be abandoned and Ultraviolet (UV)
inactivation process will be constructed. The UV disinfection system was selected to decrease
risk to the public and plant personnel from the handling and storage of chlorine. The UV
disinfection process will be capable of meeting more stringent effluent limitations.
CWMTF Application- June 2006 Cycle
P:1MooresvilleNCTovmOfl3301321Fending12006 CWMTF Application FINAL.doc

Additionally, a plant water system will be provided to supply treated water to plant
equipment and processes in order to facilitate water conservation and reduce water demands.
The existing plant water system will be reused with new application points at the new
headworks and at the new solids handling facilities.
As part of the proposed RRWWTP upgrade, effluent filtration will also be carried out using
new granular media filters and electronic monitoring will be utilized.
10) Does the project establish functional greenways? If so, provide information
on whether the greenway is a part of this project scope or a possible outcome
in future efforts. (0-10 points)
Establishment of greenways are not scheduled as part of this project however, the Mount Mourne Master
Plan (southern Mooresville) encourages the implementation of greenways, extending along the drainage
way of Lake Norman and also along the proposed Lake Norman transmission main right of way.
11) To what extent does the project provide public education uses? (0-5
points) Include information on whether the proposed project scope includes
an organized education effort, an interpretive trail, or possible outcome in
future efforts.
When the Preliminary Engineering Report (PER) is complete, a public hearing will be scheduled to
discuss the proposed project. The public hearing will present the following items:
• Background on the future of the RRWWP;
• Improvement in overall water quality in the watershed and the environment due to the proposed
discharge options;
• The Town plans to use the plant for educational purposes (e.g. school field trips).
12) What are the potential economic benefits to the region of the proposed
project?
Through the course of the proposed project, several potential economic benefits are gained; 1)
regionalization reduces capital needs on municipal governments, reducing customer fees; 2)
economic benefits related to restoration of water quality and environmental improvements;
and, 3) needed infrastructure that will support the local economy.
APPLICANT INFORMATION (Up to 10 points)

3) How will you guarantee the long-term maintenance and protection of
CWMTF's investment in your project?
The Operations & Maintenance (O&M) Plan entails routine maintenance, rehabilitation and repair.
Adequate budgeting by the Town is also necessary to ensure protection of project investment
4) Is the proposed project strategically related to a long-term management
plan or a regional or larger scale planning project? Briefly outline any
ongoing or previous efforts to protect land or improve/restore water
quality in or near the project. Describe how these and possible future
efforts may compliment the proposed project.
The Mooresville area is growing; and based on population projections, the Town will
exceed its current wastewater treatment capacity by mid- 2009. The Town has
conducted Master Planning; Land Use planning and has developed ordinances
including zoning and storm water to protect water quality, as the Town is located in a
water supply watershed. The Towns efforts to pursue regionalization of its wastewater
treatment will in effect improve overall water quality and environmental health of the
local watershed that may not be achieved if the Town of Troutman and Catawba
County handle wastewater treatment individually.
5) Is there a local land use plan for the county or municipality in which the
project will occur?
Yes, and the Town is currently updating its Land Use Plan to implement more stringent
environment friendly development goals.
6) Is the property wherein the project will be located subject to any
environmental laws, rules or regulations (existing or pending) which
impose obligations or restrict the use or marketability of the property? (If
yes, please explain)
Yes, North Carolina and Iredell County have regulations regarding floodplain
development~ These regulations add more restrictions than those set by the Federal

NORTH CAROLINA
OFFICE OF THE TOWN MANAGER
May 26, 2006
Town of Mooresville Clean Water Management Trust Fund Grant Application
NARRATIVE
The Town of Mooresville, which is Iocated in southern Iredell County, is a growing
community. As a result, the Town is expanding and upgrading the Rocky River
Wastewater Treatment Plant (RRWWTP) from 5.2 mgd (million gallons per day) to 19 mgd
to meet the projected 20 year demand. The project includes upgrading the treatment
processes to produce a higher quality effluent in accordance with the 2003 Yadkin -Pee Dee
River Basinwide Plan which will reduce pollutant loadings and future discharges to that
basin, and the incorporation of a conjunctive discharge permit to include industrial and
commercial reuse and/or surface water discharge in the Catawba River basin. The Town is
requesting a grant from Clean Water Management Trust Fund (CWMTF) in the amount of
$4 million to assist with construction of a transmission main to convey treated wastewater
for reuse and/or discharge to surface waters in the Catawba River Basin, including the
Mooresville Municipal Goff Course (MMGC) and the Duke Energy Marshall Stearn Station.
Reuse and/or alternative discharge scenarios will reduce the Town's future Interbasin
Transfer (IBT).
Project Description
Wastewater flow projections indicate that the Town will exceed the current
wastewater treatment capacity of the RRWWTP by approximately 2009. Additionally, the
Town will become a regional wastewater treatment provider due to recent agreements with
neighboring service areas, the Town of Troutman and Catawba County. The proposed
POST OFFICE B(» 878 • MOORESVILLE, NORTH CAROLINA 28115 • 704-663-3800 • FAX [phone]

expansion and upgrades will occur in two phases. The first phase will be constructed now to
meet 2017 maximum month flows (12 mgd) and loading while the second phase will be
constructed by 2017 to meet the 2025 maximum month flows (19 mgd) and loading.
In accordance with the 2003 Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basinwide Plan, the plant
upgrade and expansion will result in a higher quality effluent of 5 mg/L BOD and 1 mg/L
Ammonia, which is more stringent than reuse limits. The Town's current NPDES discharge
permit limits are 24 mg/L BOD and 2 mg/L Ammonia (summer). The project will also
provide for multiple discharge options. Some effluent may continue to be discharged into
Dye Branch, but the majority of treated effluent will be discharged in the Catawba River
Basin, to avoid Interbasin Transfer (IBT) issues, in the form of surface water discharge to the
main channel of the Catawba River, and reuse applications including process water for the
Duke Energy Marshall Steam Station and irrigation water for the MMGC and other
Mooresville athletic fields. Grant funding is requested for the construction of reuse
transmission mains which include dual 16-inch mains and smaller diameter mains for
delivery to specific reuse locations.
Water Quality Objectives
The project area is located within parts of two major river basins: the Catawba River
and Yadkin River Basins. More specifically, the project lies within the 03-08-32 Subbasin of
the Catawba River Basin and within two sub -basins (03-07-06 and 03-07-11) of the Yadkin
River Basin which are the South Yadkin River and Rocky River Subbasins. The Town's
drinking water supply is the Catawba River. The RRWWTP currently discharges treated
effluent to Dye Branch of the Rocky River Sub -basin. Within the service area, the Rocky
River, Dye Branch, and Coddle Creek are reported as impaired and listed on the North
P.WIOORESV[ 1321FUNDING OOLCWMATF ARRATNEJINAL.DOC

Carolina 2006 Draft 303(d) List of Impaired Waters. Dye Branch was noted as an impaired
waterway due to minor municipal point sources from the RRWWTP and urban runoff.
The Water Quality Objectives are as follows:
1. Improve the water quality and stream health of Dye Branch and the Rocky River
by reducing pollutant loadings. This will be accomplished by meeting the
effluent discharge limits and other criteria set forth in the 2003 Yadkin Pee Dee
River Basinwide plan.
2. Minimize water quality and environmental health impacts associated with
interbasin transfer. This will be accomplished by minimizing discharge increases
to the Rocky River sub -basin and returning water to the Catawba River Basin.
3. Reduce pollutant loadings to surface waters. This will be accomplished by
treating wastewater to a high quality and implementing reuse discharge options,
including irrigation and industrial uses.
4. Improve water quality and environmental health on a regional basis. This will
be accomplished by implementing a regional wastewater treatment facility
which will treat wastewater to a higher quality and provide capacity for
customers in Troutman, Catawba County and areas surrounding Mooresville
who would otherwise require additional treatment facilities or septic systems.
5. Reduce chemicals discharged to surface waters. This will be accomplished by
upgrading the treatment process to include ultraviolet disinfection instead of
utilizing chlorine and dechlorination facilities.

Funding
The estimated cost for the transmission line to Lake Norman is $15 million. The
estimated project cost of the expansion of the RRWWTP to 12.0 mgd is $71.9 million, which
includes the transmission main. Other possible funding sources for the project include a
CWSRF loan through Construction Grants & Loan and other Town financing.
Need For the Project
The specific needs for the project are three -fold; 1) to support the Town's 2000
Capital Improvement Plan of moving towards regionalization of water/wastewater
treatment which will improve environmental health throughout the region and the local
watershed; 2) to improve the overall water quality and stream health of Dye Branch and
Rocky River which can be achieved by reducing pollutant loadings accomplished by
meeting the effluent discharge limits and other criteria set forth in the 2003 Yadlcin-Pee Dee
River Basinwide Plan; and, 3) to reduce the Town's future IBT by returning water to the
Catawba River Basin through alternative discharge scenarios and reuse applications.

LOCAL MEASURES
A. What local measures (such as stormwater management, buffer protection, soil
erosion and sediment control program, public education) has the community
implemented or will the community complete to balance any increase in pollutant
loading that may occur as a result of this project? You may attach supplemental
pages to the application summarizing this information.
The project will result in a more rigorous treatment process which will reduce overall pollutant
loading.
The Town of Mooresville enforces its own Erosion and Sedimentation Control Program in
accordance with the NC Sedimentation Pollution Control Act (GS 143-3412 Chapter 113A Article
4 & NC Administrative Code Title 15, Chapter 4).
The Town of Mooresville adopted and made effective a set of Water Supply Watershed regulations
which include buffer regulations, on July 1,1993. These regulations were designed to promote
public health, safety, and general welfare of the Town of Mooresville citizenry. These adopted
regulations apply to the jurisdiction of those areas designated as WSWs by the EMC.
The Town of Mooresville implements its own stormwater plan under Section 407 of the Zoning
Ordinance. Section 407 states that non -surface water will be channeled and directed into the
storm drain. The Subdivision Ordinance also specifies that a subdivider is responsible for
completing all grading and installation of drainage structures necessary to carry the water. A
subdivider may connect to the public stormwater sewer if deemed reasonably accessible.
The Town of Mooresville has in place a set of Zoning Ordinances which direct the development
and growth of the Town and extraterritorial areas. The Town of Mooresville Zoning Ordinances
were adopted on October 6,1998. In particular, these ordinances describe the 'Use Requirements
by Districts' within Article 6.
The Town of Mooresville, Mount Mourne Planning Area (southern Mooresville) have adopted
minimum buffer requirements of 35 feet for drainage areas 50 to 300 acres; 50 feet for drainage
areas 300 to 640 acres; and 100 feet + entire floodplain for drainage areas > 640 acres.
Additionally, there shall be no land disturbing activity within the floodplain unless permitted.
Reforestation of disturbed buffers requires that tree plantings be approved by the Town. No fill
materials are permitted in any buffers. The flow of non -surface waters through the buffer must be
diffused.
A buffer ordinance is currently being developed by the Town of Mooresville that will cover the
entire town.
