Biggs Regional Wastewater Pretreatment Facility, Clayton, NC
IMPROVEMENT DESCRIPTION
Photographs of the improvements are included as Exhibit 2 and a site layout
is included in Exhibit 5.
The property consists an industrial wastewater pretreatment facility designed
to convert "high strength" wastewater that contains excess nitrogen and
phosphorous to "low strength" wastewater that can further treated in a
conventional municipal wastewater treatment plan.
The facility will serve the adjacent pharmaceutical plant (Novo Nordisk) but
it has excess capacity that could serve other future industrial facilities. The
value of the facility to the community is that first, it will serve a large
expansion of the Novo Nordisk plant on an adjacent site. Second, it has
additional capacity that could serve other pharmaceutical companies that
could move to the area, which provides an economic development
opportunity for the Town of Clayton.
The facility has been constructed during 2018-2019. Construction is
complete but the facility is not yet in operation, waiting on two additional
permits.
The facility uses the Five-Step Bardenpho Process.

Biggs Regional Wastewater Pretreatment Facility, Clayton, NC
The facility has a capacity of 440,000 gallons per day of wastewater. It could
be increased to a capacity of 700,000 gallons and could be expanded to
essentially double capacity if needed.
PROPERTY TAXES
The Johnston County Revenue Department property record card for the
property is included with this report in Exhibit 4.
The property is exempt from property taxes because it is a municipal utility
installation.

2. Subject Assets
2.1 . Background
The Town and Novo executed the WWPTF Agreement to set forth the terms of a cooperative effort to
construct the System which opened in 2019. This initiative was envisioned to serve potential future industrial
users in the region along with Novo's$1.8 billion expansion of its diabetes active pharmaceutical ingredient
("DAPI") manufacturing facility.As of the date of this Report, Novo has been the sole user of the System. In
2019,Novo completed the construction of the Subject Assets and donated the System to the Town. After
accepting ownership of the System, the Town entered into the O&M Agreement with Novo for the on-going
operation of the System. According to the O&M Agreement, Novo is responsible for all of the operations and
maintenance costs of the System through November 1, 2023.
2.2. General Description of the System
The WWPTF is pretreatment facility that is capable of handling high strength industrial wastewater. The
System is designed to process 0.44 MGD of industrial wastewater before it is discharged to a public WWTF.
Based on design of the System, Table 2-1 provides current influent characteristics and limits.

The WWPTF treatment process for its industrial influent is based on biological activated sludge. The
biological process includes influent flow equalization,bioreactor activated sludge treatment, secondary

clarification, and dissolved air flotation("DAF")to meet effluent requirements.The process also includes
activated sludge recirculation and waste pumping, pH adjustment,polymer flocculation, and effluent flow
metering. Sludge solids are dewatered onsite. The sludge process includes polymer sludge conditioning and
thickening, aerobic digester sludge storage, centrifuge sludge dewatering, and dewatered solids loading and
hauling.
The plant's influent basins control flow rate and pH at the facility, enhancing operational efficiency. The
purpose of flow equalization is to balance out the process parameters, such as flow rate,organic loading,
strength of wastewater streams, pH, and temperature over a 24-hour period.The two(2)bioreactor trains use
a four-stage Bardenpho process to remove nutrients without the use of chemicals, reducing operating costs.
The plant features 100%equipment and power redundancy to protect against failure and ensure optimal
treatment to meet wastewater discharge limits required in North Carolina. The System's treated influent is
a discharged to public WWTF.
g
All wastewater discharges to surface waters in North Carolina must receive a permit.The Clean Water Act of
1972 initiated strict control of wastewater discharges with the responsibility of enforcement given to the
Environmental Protection Agency("EPA").The EPA created the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System("NPDES")to track and control point sources of pollution.The primary method of control is by
issuing permits to dischargers with limitations on wastewater flow and constituents.The EPA delegated
permitting authority to the State of North Carolina in 1975.
The NPDES program establishes limits for flow(quantity discharged),conventional pollutants(BOD,pH,
TSS, fecal coliform, oil&grease, etc.), toxicants(metals,volatile organics, etc.), and non-conventional
pollutants such as ammonia and nutrients.Delegated states have the authority to establish state water quality
standards which can be more stringent than federal standards established by EPA. In addition to
administering the NPDES program in North Carolina,there is also the responsibility of enforcement of the
discharge limitations through our NPDES Compliance program.
The WWPTF is currently discharging its wastewater to a Johnston County WWTF(NPDES Wastewater
Permit#NC00307165). The Johnston County WWTF is permitted to discharge treated municipal and
industrial wastewater to the Neuse River, in the Neuse River Basin. Table 2-2 provides current targeted
discharge limits to meet the County's permitted effluent requirements.

Construction of the System was completed in 2019. For the purpose of calculating a reproduction or
replacement cost new of the Subject Assets, all facilities and equipment therefore have an installation date of
2019.

The Town is a North Carolina municipal corporation, incorporated in 1869, and is governed by an elected
mayor and a five-member council. North Carolina municipalities operate under charters granted by the
General Assembly and have powers and authorities granted to them by state statutes and the state
constitution. In North Carolina, municipalities do not have home rule, which means that the state legislature
must grant the powers and authority to municipalities and authorize them to perform certain functions. These
functions generally include potable water, wastewater, law enforcement, fire protection, street maintenance,
transportation, recreation, garbage collection and recycling, and land use planning("Public Services"). The
Town operates the System as a public, municipal utility, which is not regulated by the NCUC.
