General Information Facility/System Name: Town of Southern Pines Water Treatment Responsible Entity: Town of Southern Pines Person in Charge/Contact: Ron Istre Utilities Superintendent 140 Memorial Park Court Southern Pines NC 28387 (910) 692-1983 Description of Collection System or Treatment Process: The wastewater discharged by the Southern Pines Water Plant is generated by the filter backwash operation. The filter backwash enters an 180,000 gallon circular sedimentation basin. The water is allowed to settle and sludge concentrates on a conical shape bottom. The sludge that settles is conditioned and transferred via two 200 gpm sludge pumps to one of six 300 foot sand drying beds. The clarified water is collected at the top of the basin through two ports, one at the top of the column and one 12 feet below the surface. Normal operations have the second level closed and the top port open. The clarified effluent is collected in a pump chamber and with sufficient level increase, is pumped to discharge via two 800 gpm discharge pumps. The flow is metered by a mechanical meter on a "6" inch discharge line. The effluent enters Aberdeen Creek approximately 2 miles away. II. Compliance Performance The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) regulates the Town of Southern Pines effluent discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The NCDENR issued to the Town a NPDES Permit, which includes water quality limits and sampling and monitoring requirements. The NPDES Permit requires the Town to test more than 17 different constituents in the treated water. The monitoring frequency for these constituents are set at various intervals such as continuous, daily, weekly, monthly, and quarterly. During the reporting period, the Town conducted 565 tests of the treated water before it was discharged to the creek. The WWTP achieved a compliance level of 100% with the NPDES Permit requirements. Following is a summary of the testing for the parameters, which are assigned Water Quality standards by the NPDES Permit. Please note the summary does not include parameters, which incorporates a monitoring requirement only, nor does it include daily process control testing.
