A. (2) CALCULATION OF TOTAL NITROGEN LOADS
a. The Permittee shall calculate monthly and annual -TN Loads as follows:
i. Monthly TN Load (lb/mo) = TN x TMF x 8.34
where:
TN = the average Total Nitrogen concentration (mg/L) of the
composite samples collected during the month
TMF = the Total Monthly Flow of wastewater discharged during the
month (MG/mo)
8.34 = conversion factor, from (mg/L x MG) to pounds
ii. Annual TN Load (lb/yr) = Sum of the 12 Monthly TN Loads for the calendar year
b. The Permittee shall report monthly Total Nitrogen results (mg/L and lb/mo) in the discharge
monitoring report for that month and shall report each year's annual results (lb/yr) in the
December report for that year.
A. (3) ANNUAL LIMITS FOR TOTAL NITROGEN
a. Total Nitrogen (TN) allocations and TN Load limits for NPDES dischargers in the Neuse
River basin are annual limits and are applied for the calendar year.
b. For any given calendar year, the Permittee shall be in compliance with the annual TN Load
limit in this Permit if:
i. the Permittee's annual TN Load is less than or equal to said limit, or
ii. the Permittee is a Co-Permittee Member of a compliance association.
c. If the Permittee is not a co-permittee member of a compliance association and the Permittee's
cumulative annual TN discharge exceeds the effective TN Load limit in this permit at any
point during the calendar year, the Permittee is in violation of its TN Load limit, and each day
of a continuing violation shall constitute a separate violation.
d. The TN Load limit in this Permit (if any) may be modified as the result of allowable changes
in the Permittee's TN allocation.
i. Allowable changes include those resulting from purchase of TN allocation from the
Wetlands Restoration Fund; purchase, sale, trade, or lease of allocation between the
Permittee and other dischargers; regionalization; and other transactions approved by the
Division.
ii. The Permittee may request a modification of the TN Load limit in this Permit to reflect
allowable changes in its TN allocation. Upon receipt of timely and proper application, the
Division will modify the permit as appropriate and in accordance with state and federal
program requirements.
iii. Changes in TN limits become effective on January 1 of the year following permit
modification. The Division must receive application no later than August 31 for changes
proposed for the following calendar year.
iv. Application shall be sent to:

typographical errors) or any change to Active status of any of the listed allocations shall be
considered a major modification of this permit and shall be subject to the public review process
afforded such modifications under state and federal rules.
A. (5) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QRTRLY)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 6.1 %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined
in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December
2010, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised- December 2010) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during
the months of January, April, July, and October. These months signify the first month of each three
month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be
obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted
final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV
below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in
each of the two following months as described in `North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent
Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -December 2010) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the
parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally,
DWR Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no
later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and
all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved
designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and
reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring
is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity
(AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the
month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The
report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above.
Page 7 of 12

Permit NC0024236
(Continued A. (5) CHRONIC TOXICITY PASS/FAIL PERMIT LIMIT) •
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,
monitoring will be required during the following month. Assessment of toxicity compliance is
based on the toxicity testing quarter, which is the three month time interval that begins on the first
day of the month in which toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues until the final day
of the third month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be
re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
If the Permittee monitors any pollutant more frequently then required by this permit, the results of
such monitoring shall be included in the calculation & reporting of the data submitted on the DMR
& all AT Form submitted.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate
environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing
to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

BACKGROUND
The Town of Kinston operates a 11.85 MGD regional water reclamation treatment facility that
serves the greater Kinston area, approximately 22,700 population. Industrial wastewater is also
accepted from 3 categorical and 5 non -categorical SIUs under an approved pre-treatment
program. Treated wastewater is discharged into an effluent channel which flows into the Neuse
River, a class C-NSW water in the Neuse River Basin.
This facility is an active member of the Lower Neuse Basin Association and as such instream
monitoring is waived. To evaluate whether to continue membership, the Permittee requested a
revision to the permit instream requirements to match the association monitoring schedule and
parameters.
HISTORY
2007 — Renewal permit issued with changes: Effluent limit page for 4.5 MGD removed, permit
narratives updated to reflect facility expansion to 11.85 MGD; a special condition was
added to summarize the facility total nitrogen allocation.
PROCESS
Untreated domestic waste is introduced to the plant headworks via two forced sewer mains
receiving wastewater from multiple collection system pump stations. The combined flow is
screened through a mechanical bar screen system, passes through a grit removal system, passes
through the influent meter flume channel, and collects in a flow distribution box. The influent
composite sample is taken from the distribution box.
The distribution box regulates flows to three BNR treatment trains, and upon high flow diverts
excess wastewater to two equalization basins. As required the equalization basin wastewater is
pumped back to the headworks. Each BMR treatment train consists of a pre -anoxic, anaerobic,
Fact Sheet
NPDES NC0024236
Page 1 of 5

anoxic, aeration basin section, and includes support mixers, recycle pumps, and blowers. The
effluent from the BNR trains collects in a common header and is re -distributed to three clarifiers.
Effluent from the clarifiers combines and is introduced to the de -nitrification filter system
consisting of four deep bed filters. A WAS system meters and removes solids from the clarifiers
to two WAS storage basins. A RAS system meters recycle via pumps to the BNR treatment train.
The filters are backwashed as needed and the resulting backwash wastewater pumps back to the
facility headworks. If needed, a methanol addition system is available to add carbon to the filter
influent for further de -nitrification enhancement. In addition, there are auxiliary chemical feed
systems for alum and caustic.
The filter system effluent is metered and then splits between two channels that contains UV
banks for disinfection. From the UV banks, the combined effluent passes through a post aeration
cascade basin, a pump sump, and continues to the outfall. The pump sump support distribution of
treated wastewater via pumps to internal sources in the facility, filter backwash, and reclaim
water reuse to a 38 acre approved land irrigation system. Each pump system has its own meter
that is use in conjunction with the effluent meter to calculate the actual discharge to the outfall.
An effluent composite sample collects samples after the post aeration basin.
Each WAS storage basin is equipped with a decanting line and floating agitator. As needed,
pumps transfer sludge from the basins to three sludge aerobic digestors, two are above ground
tanks and one is a basin. Further dewatering is accomplished by two filter presses. The
dewatered solids are either stored as is or mixed with lime then stored. Final disposal of solid is
via a contractor for land application.
COMPLIANCE
Since August 2008 this facility has had only one non-compliance event for TSS. There have been
no fines assessed.

PERMITTING STRATEGY
Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA)
The Division conducted EPA -recommended RPA for detected toxicants that exceed surface
water quality standards (WQS), based on recent DMR data and 3 Priority Pollutant Analyses
(PPA). RPA were conducted for chlorides, copper, lead, and zinc. Chlorides, copper, and zinc
are action level parameters and are also evaluated in conjunction with toxicity test performance.
All toxicity tests have been passed.
Results suggest reasonable potential for the facility to discharge copper in excess of WQS.
Based on RPA guidance for action level parameter quarterly monitoring for copper will continue.
Fact Sheet
NPDES NC0024236
Page 2 of 5

Zinc predicted value is less than 50% of its WQS and based on RPA guidance will only be
required to be monitored in conjunction with pretreatment and PPA requirements.
Mercury TMDL Evaluation
A mercury TMDL was approved by US EPA in October 2012 and will be implemented in this
permit. Table I summaries the available mercury data used to determine requirements:

Per mercury TMDL guidance, if there are no exceedance of the TBEL or WQBEL as in this case
then mercury monitoring (Method 1631E) conducted in the 3 required PPAs will be sufficient. In
addition, since there are multiple mercury measurements above 1 ng/L, and this is a major
municipal facility with a permitted flow greater than 2.0 MGD, a special condition requiring the
facility to develop a mercury minimization plan will be added.
Whole Effluent Toxicity
The permit requires quarterly chronic toxicity testing using ceriodaphnia dubia, at 6.1% effluent
concentration. The facility passed 19 toxicity tests submitted since August 2008. As required 4
second species chronic toxicity tests using fathead minnow were submitted with the application
and were passed. The special condition narrative will be updated to the current version.
Priority Pollutant Analysis (PPA)
The results of 4 PPA were evaluated in the renewal application. See RPA for results from PPA
data applied to RPA. To meet EPA requirements, PPA monitoring will be reduced to 3 seasonal
scans, one per year, in consecutive years prior to the next renewal. A revised special condition
narrative will provide details on what years to perform the seasonal scan. Mercury will include a
label for Method 1631E as a reminder to apply test method 1631E or equivalent.
Instream Data
The only data available to review was from 2011 monitoring coalition data. The downstream
reported data indicates DO ranged from 10.9 to 6.6 mg/L, winter to summer. There was no
upstream data in close proximity of the discharge. At 33% of the permitted flow, the facility
discharge has not resulted in a negative impact to DO WQS. However, the DO sag point is
unknown. A reduction in instream monitoring is not feasible.
Nutrients
ents
The Environmental Management Commission adopted Nutrient Management Strategy rules in
December 1997, classifying the entire Neuse River Basin as Nutrient Sensitive Waters. The point
source rule (T15A NCAC 2B .0234) sets Total Nitrogen (TN) discharge limits for all point
source dischargers larger than 0.5 MGD.
The rule also allows dischargers to form a group compliance association and work together to
reduce nitrogen; this option allows the association members added flexibility in controlling
nitrogen discharges. At the same time, the association is subject to a group NPDES permit
ensuring that the association and its individual members are accountable if they exceed the
applicable nitrogen limits. Under the rule, there are three types of TN limit in the Neuse:
Fact Sheet
NPDES NC0024236
Page 3 of 5

1. the individual limits in the dischargers' individual permits,
2. the aggregate limit in an association's group NPDES permit, and
3. the individual allocations/limits for each Association member, also in that association permit.
A discharger may be subject to the first type of limit, or to the second and third, but never to all
three at the same time. The discharger is first subject to the TN limit (if any) in its individual
NPDES permit. If becomes a co-permittee to a compliance association's group NPDES permit, it
is then governed by the TN limits in that permit. If the association complies with its group TN
limit in a given year, all members are deemed to be in compliance with their individual
allocations/ limits in the group permit. If the association exceeds its limit, the members then
become subject to their individual allocations/ limits as well.
Regardless of which permit governs a TN discharge, allocations/ limits will likely change over
time as the dischargers purchase, sell, trade, lease, or otherwise transfer nitrogen allocations. The
Division will modify the affected permits as necessary to ensure that the limits are kept up to
date and reflect any such transactions.
Nitrogen: The permit includes nutrient limits consistent with the Nutrient Management Strategy
rule (T15A NCAC 2B .0234). Under the new rule, the Permittee receives a TN Load limit of
126,711 lb/yr, a calendar year limit. The limit reflects the Permittee's original allocation plus
additional allocation received upon regionalization of Peachtree WWTP 's discharge.

Note: Reported flow approximately 33% of its permitted flow
The Permittee is a member of the Neuse River Compliance Association at this time. So long as it
remains a co-permittee member, it is deemed to be in compliance with the TN limit in this
permit, and its TN discharge is governed instead by the Association's group NPDES permit,
issued December 30, 2002.
Phosphorus: The Permittee's 2.0 mg/L Total Phosphorus limit is carried forward in the new
permit. It is a quarterly average limit to conform with the rule requirements. The 2011 to 2012
y reported TP ranged from 0.1 to 0.8 mg/L.

A.Procedure to Determine if Annual Average Limit Required:
Step 1- WQBEL Evaluation
• Evaluate need for Water Quality Based Effluent Limit (WQBEL)
• Calculate Allowable mercury concentration using dilution (12 ng/I x 7Q10 dilution factor)
• Compare Annual effluent concentrations to Allowable Conc. for each of last 5 years
• If any Annual Avg > Allowable Conc., then add Annual Avg WQBEL.
Step 2- TBEL Evaluation
• Evaluate need for Technology Based Effluent Limit (TBEL)
• Compare all individual values to TBEL of 47 ng/1
• If any single value > 47 ng/l, then add Annual Avg TBEL of 47 ng/1.
Step 3- Compare WQBEL to TBEL
• If data triggers need for WQBEL and TBEL, select most stringent of the two limits.
• If data triggers need for only TBEL, add 47 ng/1 annual average limit unless WQBEL < 47 ng/l,
in which case annual avg limit should be set at WQBEL.
• Conclusion: the Annual Avg limit will range from 12 ng/I to upper cap of 47 ng/l.
Step 4- If NEW limit, delay effective date
• Addition of new limit will become effective in 5th year of permit, with mercury minimization plan
development/implementation required for first 4 years (see MMP below).
B. Mercury Minimization Plan (MMP). If an MMP is required (note change to Major Municipal >
2MGD), add the following Special Condition to the permit:
A(x). Mercury Minimization Plan (MMP). The permittee shall develop and implement a mercury
minimization plan during this permit term. The MMP shall be developed within 180 days of the NPDES
Permit Effective Date, and shall be available for inspection on -site. A sample MMP was developed
through a stakeholder review process and has been placed on the Division website for guidance
(http://portal.ncdenr.orJweb/wq/swp/ps/npdes, under Model Mercury Minimization Plan). The MMP
should place emphasis on identification of mercury contributors and goals for reduction. Results shall be
summarized and submitted with the next permit renewal.
C. New/Expanding Dischargers- will be allowed as long as the overall aggregate point source load
allocation is not exceeded.
D. Special Situations- Additional site -specific information, such as fish tissue and water column data
when available, will be considered in assigning limits and MMP requirements. Also, limits > TBEL may
be considered on case -by -case basis due to extenuating circumstances

Plant Daily Operations
Permit # NC0024236
Designed Capacity 11.85 MGD
Introduction:
The following information provides a general description of normal daily plant operations. It will detail
how the plant is operated as well as discuss the flows as they enter the plant and distributed to
supplement the attached flow diagram sheet. In addition, high flow conditions will be briefly discussed
just to provide information for the variation in operations in this situation.
All data concerning plant flows, wasting and effluent distribution was taken from calendar year 2012
reports.
Plant Operations:
Flow to the treatment plant enters from two major lift stations with each having its own force main into
the plant. Each main is metered just prior of the pretreatment head works structure. Flow then comes
in the head works structure into a wet well where the flow then enters into three separate flow
channels. Within each of the three channels are screening devices. In channels one and two are
mechanically cleaned fine filtered step screens to remove the small solids down to % inch in size.
Channel three contains a manually cleaned bar screen in the event it may be needed due to
maintenance and repair requirements or high flow conditions that may warrant its use. Screenings are
dewatered via a screw compactor and conveyed by belt to a dumpster which is then landfilled.
After screening, flows enter into two channels that carry the wastewater into the vortex grit chambers
where the grit is then removed, dewatered and dumped into dumpsters for landfilling. There are two
grit chambers and under normal operations, flows are divided equally to each one. Each chamber is
designed for 11.85 mgd. All dewatered materials is captured and sent back into the head works influent
for treatment.
After pretreatment of the influent, the flow enters into a Parshall Flume for wastewater influent
metering and out to the internal flow distribution box where the influent composite sampler and
refrigerator is located on the effluent end of the head works structure.
From the head works distribution box, there are three pipes that carry flow to the BNR structure and
one pipe that carries excess flows to the peak flow basins. Within the BNR structure, there are three
treatment trains capable of treating approximately 4 mgd in each train. The average influent is 4.87
mgd so only two trains are used in any given time. Flow is equally divided into each train being used at
the time. One train remains empty unless being used in high flows if required. The general
configuration of each train consists of a pre -anoxic basin, anaerobic basin, anoxic basin, and aeration
basin. For the exception of the aeration basin, each basin contains mixers that are run as needed to
provide optimal nutrient removals. Aeration is provided by coarse air diffusers and distributed by

header pipes along the walls of the aeration basin. Air is supplied by either two 500 horsepower or two
300 horsepower blowers depending on the air requirements at any given time. They can be manually or
SCADA controlled based on need. When used in the auto mode (SCADA controlled), the blowers have
electronic dampers that allow to be opened and closed based on inputted oxygen set points desired by
the operator. Blowers can be run manually if needed. Each train contains an oxic recycle pump that can
return 1 and 1/2 times the designed plant flow. This is used to bring more nitrates back to the anaerobic
basin for nitrogen removal.
Wastewater then goes to a single flow channel on the effluent end of the BNR to a distribution box that
feeds the secondary clarifiers. Flows to the secondary clarifiers are equally distributed to the number of
clarifiers that are in operation at the time. Due to current plant flow conditions, only two clarifiers are
used at any given time unless high flows deem it necessary for the third. Return Activated Sludge (RAS)
from the clarifier is pumped back to the head of the BNR into the Pre -anoxic Basin. Additionally, RAS
can be directed to a specific BNR train or equalized over all three trains depending on operating
conditions. RAS can also be pumped from individual clarifiers at various rates to reach desired
operations of any particular clarifier. Flow is metered to determine flow rates needed. The clarifiers
have a rotating skimmer beach where floating solids are removed and pumped back to the head works
structure for retreatment.
The clarified effluent then goes to the de -nitrification filters. Flow is equally distributed among the four
filters in operation, except during a normal backwash cycle. All backwash water goes into a mud well
and is pumped back to the head works structure effluent distribution box for retreatment. Backwashing
of filters can be done in automatic or in manual modes. The treated wastewater leaves the clear well
and is piped to the UV disinfection. Located in between the filters and the UV disinfection system the
wastewater is metered for total effluent to be treated for final distribution or discharge to the outfall.
This meter is known as the UV Meter.
The UV system has two channels that can be independently operated or in a parallel configuration.
Prior to flow entry of the UV, there is a channel grate that prevents large floating debris from entering
the system that may affect the performance to the disinfection system. Each channel is capable of
effectively disinfecting designed flows. However, to provide longer bulb life, two channels are operated
at the same time so that the Tight intensity can be reduced by 50%. The UV system uses an automatic
wiping system to clean the bulb glass housing to reduce operator maintenance requirements.
After disinfection, the wastewater is re -aerated by using cascade aeration. Wastewater flows over a
weir plate that is evenly distributed over a series of flow channels within the post aeration box.
Wastewater then flows from the channels thru V-Notch weirs onto splash blocks located below the flow
channels.
The final effluent then flows to the effluent composite sampler for NPDES required water quality
sampling. From there, wastewater then flows thru a series of pump cans and then to the outfall line to
the Neuse River. The pump cans provide a source of water to be used as reuse water for the purpose of
cooling water for pumps as needed or for wash water to the yard hydrants located in various areas
throughout the plant, and for back wash water for the sand filters. Also, water used for reclamation
purposes comes from these cans to be used as spray irrigation for the 38 acre tree farm or for bulk
water use as needed. Each use for this water is metered. The SCADA system calculates final effluent
flow to the river by calculating the flow from these meters and is deducted from the UV meter.

Sludge Handling:
All three clarifiers have a dedicated wasting valve that is electronically controlled to be opened or closed
as needed. Flows are individually metered and the SCADA system calculates from these meters the total
wasted flow. Once opened, WAS is gravity pushed to two WAS storage tanks. The storage tanks were
provided with an overflow pipe that allows for supernatant to be removed and to prevent accidental
overflows. These tanks also contain a level sensor and float switches. At a preset high level point, it will
shut down the feed flow control valves to the basin. A low level set point will shut down the WAS pump
the basin. Each basin has a floating mixer to pre -aerate and mix the sludge for uniform sludge feed to
the digesters. There are two sludge pumps that then distribute the WAS to one of three digesters. All
sludge is aerobically digested either by air diffusion in digesters #1 and #2 (Above Ground Tanks), or by
two floating aerators in digester #3 (Below Ground Tanks).
Digested Sludge Removal:
There are a number of ways to remove sludge from the digesters to the belt filter presses for
dewatering. From digesters #1 and #2, digested sludge is gravity fed to either of the two variable speed
feed pumps, one for each of the two presses. This allows for a controlled feed rate to the presses.
Digester #3 has two options for removal. Option 1 allows sludge to be pumped directly to the press for
dewatering, and Option 2 allows for the sludge to be pumped to digesters #1 and #2. Since it is not an
ideal method to feed a pump with a pump, it has been the standard operation procedure that wasting
from the WAS storage basins goes directly to digester #3 and then to either #1 or #2 so that the press
feed pumps are always under a flooded suction. This prevents the running of these progressive cavity
pumps from running dry.
The digested residuals from these digesters are fed to two Ashbrook 2.2 meter extended KLAMPRESS
belt filter presses for dewatering. The residuals are dewatered from less than two percent total solids to
approximately seventeen percent total solids. After the residuals are dewatered, they are transferred
via belt conveyor to dump trucks and placed on the covered storage pads.
In the event that the aerobic digestion parameters cannot be met, the dewatered residuals can meet all
applicable federal and state requirements for pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements
through the introduction of alkali (i.e., lime stabilization). After the residuals are dewatered, they are
transferred via belt conveyor to a Willowtech plow blender where lime is added. The plow blender
thoroughly mixes the residual/lime mixture at greater than 1100 rpm. After mixing, the residuals are
returned to the conveyor belt for transfer to dump trucks and placed on the covered storage pads.
The City of Kinston also has the means to lime stabilize the liquid residuals after mixing in the above-
ground and/or in -ground digesters if equipment failure occurs with both belt filter presses.

SAMPLING OPTIONS & PROCEDURES
OPTION 1:
Aerobically digest residuals in either the in -ground or above -ground digesters
Dewater with dewatering facility
To meet all applicable 40 CFR Part 503 regulations (i.e., metals, nutrients, pathogen and vector
attraction reduction verification, as well as TCLP), a Specific Oxygen Uptake Rate (SOUR) lab analysis and
nutrients/metals lab analysis will be performed before dewatering and a fecal lab analysis will be
performed after dewatering.
OPTION 2
Incorporate hydrated or liquid lime into either the in -ground or above -ground digesters to stabilize
Samples can be taken directly from the digesters to meet all applicable 40 CFR Part 503 regulations (i.e.,
metals, nutrients, pathogen and vector attraction reduction verification, as well as TCLP)
OPTION 3:
Dewater un-stabilized residuals and use the Willowtech plow blender to incorporate quicklime into the
dewatered residuals (see BACKGROUND section listed above)
In order to meet all applicable 40 CFR Part 503 regulations (i.e., pathogen reduction and vector
attraction reduction verification), the City of Kinston will initially complete the following (first couple of
weeks). Each lime stabilized dump truck load will be sampled by employees of the City of Kinston. This
can be achieved by segregating the residuals on the covered storage pad. Once the residuals have
passed the pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction monitoring, they can be moved to a
designated area on the storage pad and made available for land application. A representative sample of
the material that has met all pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction monitoring will be
collected quarterly or per event for all metals and nutrients. A composite sample of the material will also
be collected annually for TCLP parameters.

Kinston Regional Water Reclamation Facility
Plant Component Description
Permit # NC0024236
Designed Capacity 11.85 MGD
Influent Pumping:
Influent flows come from four different service areas that are described in this report. The
Forrest Street Liftstation serves the greater Kinston service area consisting mostly of domestic
wastewater with some industry. This facility supplies about seventy five percent of the KRWRF of its
flow via a thirty inch force main. A mechanical lift bar screen provides screenings of larger solids prior to
discharge to the plant. The Briary Run Liftstation serves the Kinston Industrial Parks that are located in
the Northwest section of the service area. This station provides the remaining twenty five percent of
flows via a twenty four inch force main. A mechanical bar screen provides screenings of larger solids
prior to discharge to the plant. Flow Measurement is independently provided for each respective force
main.
Outside Sources:
Kinston Regional also serves three other communities outside its general service area. The
Cutter Creek community located in Green County as well as two communities in Craven County, Town of
Dover, and Cove City. The combined permitted flows from these communities make up less than one
half percent of the total flow to the plant's permitted flow.
Headworks Structure:
Screenings consist of three separate flow channels that can be configured to operate altogether
or independently from one another. Channel #1 and #2 contains a mechanically cleaned fine bar screen
for a maximum flow of 25 mgd each, and Channel #3 contains a manually cleaned bar screen if needed.
There are two vortex type grit chambers with pumps and dewatering equipment and conveyor
for discharge of grit to a dumpster for disposal. Each chamber can handle peak flows up to 25.9 mgd
Also located at the headwork structure is influent composite sampler and Parshall Flume for flow
measurement located downstream of the grit chambers.
Biological Nutrient Removal System (BNR):
Also referred to as the Johannesburg activated sludge process is contained within a concrete
structure with three separate treatment trains. Each train is made up of four individual basins to
provide zones for Preanoxic — Anaerobic — Anoxic — Aeration. There are a total of five submersible
mixers prior to aeration for each train and one oxic recycle pump for each train for nitrate recycling. The
aeration is provided by four centrifugal blowers. Two are driven by 500 horsepower motors and two are
300 horsepower. The blowers are constant speed blowers with damping devices that are controlled by

the SCADA system for efficient operation. The aeration zone contains a total of 1,260 course air
diffusers. The overall dimensions of the BNR structure is 300'L x 250'W x 20'H.
Secondary Clarifiers:
There are three secondary clarifiers that have a diameter of 110 feet and a nominal sidewall
depth of 15 feet. Depending on need, the clarifiers can be operated in a number of configurations for
optimal plant performance. Each clarifier has one constant speed submersible scum pump and mixer
for scum removal. Scum is returned back into the BNR for treatment.
Return Activated Sludge System:
There are four horizontal end -suction pumps with variable speed drives and can pump 100% of
the plant permitted flow (11.85 mgd). Typical operation allows for pumps one and two to return RAS
from Clarifier #1, pumps two and three from Clarifier #2, and pumps three and four from Clarifier #3.
Denitrification Filters:
There are a total of four deep bed denite filters. Each filter is 11.67 feet by 77 feet for a total of 3,594
square feet and has a media depth of 6 six feet. All filters are normally operated at the same time
except during the backwash cycle. There is a methanol feed system to promote further Denitrification
during winter months as needed. Since the construction of the plant, this has not been used to date.
Disinfection System:
Disinfection of the final effluent is accomplished by the use of ultraviolet lights. There are two channels
in parallel, each equipped with submerged lamps placed horizontally and parallel to the direction of the
wastewater flow in stainless module frames. Each channel contains two banks of lamps, 64 lamps per
bank, 128 lamps per channel for a total of 256 lamps.
This UV system uses intensity sensors for automatic (dosed based) operations based on flows and water
quality. Under this mode of operation, Tamp intensities can operate from 50 to 100 %. For easier
maintenance and better reliability, the quartz tubing utilizes self-cleaning brushes by using compressed
air to drive actuators as needed by the system.
Each UV channel is 61 inches wide by 40.8 inches deep.

Post Aeration:
Post aeration is done by the use of Cascade Aerators. The flow is divided into six troughs as the flow
enters into the cascade. Water flows over a series of splash blocks for re -aeration prior to final
discharge into the Neuse River via a new 2,700 foot 36 inch line.
Biosolids Handling Facilities:
As a part of the upgrade to KRWRF, the two old secondary clarifiers were converted as Waste Activated
Storage Basins (WAS Storage Basin).
WAS Storage Basins — 80 feet diameter x 10 feet deep with one 60 horsepower mixer in each basin.
Digestion Tanks — There are three digestion tanks, two above ground and one existing inground.
Above Ground Digestion tanks named #1 and #2 have a 90 feet diameter with a sidewall height of 15
feet. The volume for each tank is 0.74 mg. These digestion tanks are equipped with coarse membrane
diffuser disk and three blowers capable of producing a combined flow of 10,140 icfm.
The in -ground digestion tank named #3 was an existing tank from the old plant. It has a holding capacity
of 1.5 mg and contains two 100 horsepower floating aerators. Its dimensions are 100 feet by 200 feet.
Sludge de -watering consists of two 2 meter belt filter presses capable of de -watering 1,650 pounds of
solids per hour per belt press.
Auxiliary Components and Additions:
Peak Flow Basins:
Utilizing as much as possible from the old treatment plant, the existing aeration tanks were converted to
peak flow basins. This helps to maintain plant performance in the event of high flow conditions. Each of
the two basins are 200 feet by 400 feet and has a holding capacity of 2.25 mg each. Both basins are
equipped with one 4 inch, 7.5 horsepower pumps to draw down the basins during low flow conditions
back to the head works for treatment. The pumps have a rated capacity of 350 gallons per minute.
Plant Water Supply Pumps:
There are three pumps that supply reuse water for plant operations. One at 100 gallons per minute and
two at 245 gallons per minute, the pumps serve to provide water for pump cooling water, grit pump
removal water supplies, and belt filter press supply water, general water supply needs for equipment
wash down and lawn watering at the administration building.

Forest Land Spray Irrigation:
Also known as Reclaimed Water, there are two pumps with a combined capacity of producing 1750
gallons per minute. Current primary use is spraying plant effluent water to 38.45 acres of forest land.
The plant is capable of supplying bulk water needs to area users as needed.
Flow Measurement Devices:
Influent — Three (3)Mag-Meters
Forrest St. Main, Briary Run Main, and Headworks
Inside Plant Monitoring — Ten (10) Mag-Meters
Oxic Recycling — (3)
Return Activate Sludge — (3)
Waste Activated Sludge - (1)
Belt Filter Press Feed — (2)
Septage Receiving Station (1)
Effluent — Three (3) Mag-Meters
De -nitrification Filter Effluent / UV (1)
Reclaimed Water Supply (1)
Reuse Water Supply (1)
Note: Discharge wastewater to the river is a calculated number. All treated water is discharged to the
Neuse River unless reclaimed or reuse water is being used. In this case, that amount of water is
calculated via SCADA and is reported on the NPDES for final discharged.

Dewatered Biosolids Storage Facilities:
Dewatered biosolids are housed under two covered pads that have an overall length of 200 feet by 100
feet wide. Pad #1, has an outside wall height of five feet and pad #2 of six feet. Each pad is then
subdivided by a center concrete wall at the same height of its respective outer wall that allows for a
total of four separate pads for cake segregation as needed. Each of the sub -pads is labeled one thru
four for identification purposes. In addition, each facility is lighted by high pressure sodium lights for
twenty four hour operations.
Biosolids Disposal:
Under current operations, the biosolids are treated to meet the Federal 503 regulations as a
Class B material. These biosolids are land applied under contract with Synagro. There are plans to
upgrade the treatment of biosolids to a Class A material by the use of a Thermal Drying Process upon
the availability of funding and NCDENR approval within the next five years.
Plant Drain System:
Kinston Regional was designed with its own wastewater collection system. This system provides a
number of functions for the facility. Any basin in the plant can be drained for maintenance or for non-
use periods. Belt filter press wastewater is captured and sent to the collection system. Also, there are
a number of catch basins throughout the plant to capture rainfall to prevent runoff from potentially
contaminated water. All this water goes into a collections system, and is gravity fed to a lift station. The
lift station then pumps all water back to the head works for retreatment. There are two pumps rated at
700 gpm and are operated in an automatic mode from level sensors.

Chemical Feed Building:
The chemical feed building houses four (4) liquid chemical storage tanks. Two tanks are for Alum
storage for phosphorous removal in the event biological treatment is not sufficient enough to do so.
Each tank will hold 15,000 gallons. Two tanks are for Caustic Soda. This is used to bring up the alkalinity
due to nitrification in the BNR process. Each of these tanks will hold 15,000 gallons.
There are two (2) metering pumps for each chemical application.
Although no longer used, the ability is still there to mix and pump polymer to the secondary clarifier is
also located in this building. This was primarily used in the old facility prior to the upgrades.

City of Kinston

Solid WastelStreetslVector Controll Water Resources
Kinston Regional Water Reclamation
Sludge Management Plan
BACKGROUND
The City of Kinston has a wastewater treatment plant, the Kinston Regional Water Reclamation Facility
(KRWRF), which utilizes aerobic digestion. The KRWRF has the pumping flexibility to utilize both the in -
ground and above -ground digesters for solids storage. The digested residuals from these digesters are
pumped to two Ashbrook 2.2 meter extended KLAMPRESS belt filter presses for dewatering. The residuals
are dewatered from less than two percent total solids to approximately seventeen percent total solids. After
the residuals are dewatered, they are transferred via belt conveyor to dump trucks and placed on the covered
storage pads.
In the event that the aerobic digestion parameters cannot be met, the dewatered residuals can meet all
applicable federal and state requirements for pathogen and vector attraction reduction requirements through
the introduction of alkali (i.e., lime stabilization). After the residuals are dewatered, they are transferred via
belt conveyor to a Willowtech plow blender where lime is added. The plow blender thoroughly mixes the
residual/lime mixture at greater than 1100 rpm. After mixing, the residuals are returned to the conveyor belt
for transfer to dump trucks and placed on the covered storage pads.
The City of Kinston also has the means to lime stabilize the liquid residuals after mixing in the above -ground
and/or in -ground digesters if equipment failure occurs with both belt filter presses.
SAMPLING OPTIONS & PROCEDURES
OPTION 1:
OPTION 2
Aerobically digest residuals in either the in -ground or above -ground digesters
Dewater with dewatering facility
To meet all applicable 40 CFR Part 503 regulations (i.e., metals, nutrients, pathogen and
vector attraction reduction verification, as well as TCLP), a Specific Oxygen Uptake Rate
(SOUR) lab analysis and nutrients/metals lab analysis will be performed before dewatering
and a fecal lab analysis will be performed after dewatering.
Incorporate hydrated or liquid lime into either the in -ground or above -ground digesters to
stabilize
Samples can be taken directly from the digesters to meet all applicable 40 CFR Part 503
regulations (i.e., metals, nutrients, pathogen and vector attraction reduction verification, as
well as TCLP)

OPTION 3:
Dewater unstabilized residuals and use the Willowtech plow blender to incorporate
quicklime into the dewatered residuals (see BACKGROUND section listed above)
In order to meet all applicable 40 CFR Part 503 regulations (i.e., pathogen reduction and
vector attraction reduction verification), the City of Kinston will initially complete the
following (first couple of weeks). Each lime stabilized dump truck load will be sampled by
employees of the City of Kinston. This can be achieved by segregating the residuals on the
covered storage pad. Once the residuals have passed the pathogen reduction and vector
attraction reduction monitoring, they can be moved to a designated area on the storage pad
and made available for land application. A representative sample of the material that has met
all pathogen reduction and vector attraction reduction monitoring will be collected quarterly
or per event for all metals and nutrients. A composite sample of the material will also be
collected annually for TCLP parameters.
Dewatered Biosolids Storage Facilities:
Dewatered biosolids are housed under two covered pads that have an overall length of 200
feet by 100 feet wide. Pad #1, has an outside wall height of five feet and pad #2 of six feet. Each
pad is then subdivided by a center concrete wall at the same height of its respective outer wall that
allows for a total of four separate pads for cake segregation as needed. Each of the sub -pads were
labeled one thru four for identification purposes. In addition, each facility is lighted by high pressure
sodium lights for twenty four hour operations.
Biosolids Disposal:
Under current operations, the biosolids are treated to meet the Federal 503 regulations as a Class B
material. These biosolids are land applied under contract with Synagro. There are plans to upgrade the
treatment of biosolids to a Class A material by the use of a Thermal Drying Process upon the availability of
funding and NCDENR approval within the next five years.
