The primary reason for this request is to allow the transfer of the present contents of the upset pond at the Summerhouse site to another ONWASA facility (the Holly Ridge WWTP, Permit No. WQ0019907) for treatment and disposal. Due to performance issues at Summerhouse, we have been unable to both treat the influent stream and recover capacity in a filled upset pond. While plant operational improvements (membrane and blower replacements) are scheduled for completion on the next 90 days, it will be imperative to have adequate capacity in the upset pond during that process. It is our intent to move the entire contents of the Summerhouse upset pond (estimated at 2.0 million gallons) to the Holly Ridge WWTP for treatment and disposal. Transport will be performed by our current sludge hauling subcontractor, Triple S Farms and Cleaning, Inc. utilizing tanker trucks with all loads being tracked and metered on a per -load basis. This work will be completed over an extended period utilizing multiple smaller Toads to ensure the influent flow limit at the Holly Ridge WWTP is not exceeded. If you need any additional information regarding this request, please feel free to contact me directly at (910) 937-7521 or dmohr@onwasa.com. Sincerely, d2//(1-,j ice David M. Mohr, PE Chief Operations Officer Onslow Water and Sewer Authority Enclosures.
