THANK YOU TOWN OF OLD FORT WASTEWATER COLLECTION & TREATMENT PERFORMANCE REPORT FOR -FISCAL YEAR JULY 1, 2020 to JUNE 30, 2021 SYSTEM NAME: TOWN OF OLD FORT WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT RESPONSIBLE ENTITY: TOWN OF OLD FORT, Phone #: 828-668-4244 OPERATORS IN CHARGE: COLLECTIONSYSTEM.• MELVIN LYTLE, Phone #: 828-668-4244; TREATMENTPLANT: TONY WEST Phone #: 828-668-4561 APPLICABLE PERMITS: COLLECTIONSYSTEM: WQCS00139 NPDES (WASTEWATER TREATMENTPLANT): NCO021229 BIORESID UAL MANAGEMENTFACILITY.• WQ0011260 DESCRIPTION OF COLLECTION SYSTEM: The sewer system collects wastewater from the Town of Old Fort and the surrounding area and transports it by gravity to the Old Fort Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) located on the west bank of Curtis Creek, just east of town. There are currently no pumping stations needed in the Old Fort collection system. DESCRIPTION OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT: The original waste treatment plant was built in 1967, upgraded in 1987 to a capacity of 800,000 gallons per day (gpd), and upgraded again in 1996 to a capacity of 1.2 million gallons per day (mgd). In 2003 - 2004 the plant was again refurbished with a grant of approximately $1.5 million from the NC Rural Center. All wastewater is moved through the following processes: BAR SCREEN - removes larger pieces of trash, rags, etc. GRIT CHAMBER - removes fine sand -like material that is damaging to equipment. INFLUENT PUMP STATION - pumps wastewater to equalization basin or aeration tank. EQUALIZATION BASIN - contains the wastewater, allowing a constant flow through the rest of the plant. AERATION TANK - waste is treated by concentrating, mixing and adding air; bacteria and other micro-organisms break down the solid and liquid waste to a less harmful form. CLARIFIERS — allow solids to settle out while clearer water passes on. CHLORINE CONTACT CHAMBER — bleach (sodium hypochlorite) is added to disinfect the wastewater, and calcium thiosulfate is added to remove the residual chlorine. The treated wastewater is then discharged to Curtis Creek, which is a contributor to the Catawba River. Settled solids from the clarifiers are pumped to a sludge holding tank. From there the sludge is dewatered on a belt press, and mixed with lime to produce a Class "A" bioresiduals product which is beneficial to gardens, lawns, etc. These bioresiduals are distributed to local farmers under the town's bioresidual management facility permit. PERFORMANCE: COLLECTION SYSTEM (SEWER) In the 2020 — 2021 report period, there were no sanitary sewer overflows (SSO). The Old Fort Maintenance Dept extended sewer lines 502 ft., repaired 20 ft of sewer line, and cleaned 3175 ft of sewer pipe. WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT. In this report period, the Old Fort Wastewater Treatment Plant had no permit violations. NOTIFICATION: The Town of Old Fort placed a Public Notice in the local newspaper (The McDowell News) summarizing this report and informing the public that any customer desiring to obtain a copy of the performance report may do so by requesting one at Old Fort Town Hall. The Public Notice appeared July 28, 2021. CERTIFICATION: I certify under penalty of law that this report is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge.
