I. INTRODUCTION:
' The Town of Fairmont is located in Robeson County in southeastern North Carolina. The
area is primarily agricultural in nature. There are several tobacco markets located in
' Town, and the commerce is brisk when the markets are operating. However, the Town
has begun to focus on industrial and economic development to counter losses in the
farming industry.
' Fairmont currently owns and operates a 500,000 gallon capacity wastewater
treatment
facility that discharges to Pittman Mill Branch. The plant is a "Walker Process" style
' plant being concentric circular concrete basins with a clarifier in the interior basin and the
outer basin split into an aeration basin and digester. The plant is operated under NPDES
Permit No.NC0021059. Pittman Mill Branch is considered a low flow receiving stream
that affects the discharge limits. The Town currently is required to perform toxicity
testing at a concentration of 92%.
When the Town began testing for toxicity in 1994, they would pass and fail various tests
with no consistency. Through various toxicity evaluations performed by Burlington
' Research, no clear source has been identified; however, ammonia has been suspected as
the major contributor. Because the existing treatment plant does not provide adequate
treatment, influent ammonia cannot be reduced to the necessary levels.
' In 1994 the Town agreed to go under an SOC (Special Order by Consent) as a result of
their toxicity violations. A Preliminary Engineering Report was prepared in 1995 to
provide the Town with various options for the resolution of their wastewater discharge
violations. This Engineering Alternatives Analysis is an extension of the earlier
Preliminary Engineering Report.

ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED:
As mandated, all environmentally feasible alternatives for wastewater treatment and '
disposal must be analyzed. Following are the alternatives considered by the Town of
Fairmont: '
A. Pump Wastewater to the City of Lumberton.
B. Land Application of Wastewater. '
C. Upgrade of Current Wastewater Treatment Plant and Discharge.
D. Construct a New Wastewater Treatment Plant with Discharge to the Lumber River.
Each alternative will be studied with respect to capital construction costs, annual
operation and maintenance costs and incorporated into present worth cost analysis. A
summary of the preliminary design, design calculations and cost estimates will be '
provided for each alternative.

' I11. ANALYSIS
OF ALTERNATIVES:
' The various alternatives for wastewater treatment and disposal will be analyzed for a
determination of the most environmentally and economically feasible solution to the
' Town's wastewater treatment needs. The "do nothing" alternative has been excluded as
this would violate the terms of the Town's SOC. Following is an evaluation of each of
the above listed alternatives:
' A. Pump Wastewater to Lumberton
' In considering a regional alternative for the Town's discharge, pumping
their wastewater to the closest system was considered. The closest system
to Fairmont is the City of Lumberton. Several conversations between the
two municipalities have taken place; however, no agreements were
reached. Due to various concerns and lack of flow capacity, Lumberton
' decided that they could not allow Fairmont to discharge to their system. A
copy of their letter to the Town that indicates their decision has been
included in the appendix of this report.
tB. Land Application of Wastewater
' Land application of wastewater in cropped fields following storage in a
facultative or anaerobic lagoon is an environmentally feasible option. The
relatively high water table and available soils in the area are a concern.
' However, there is land available relatively close to the existing wastewater
treatment plant.
' The USGS topographical map and soil survey of Robeson County were
used to determine the predominant soils of the area. These soils are from
' the Wagram and Norfolk series and have a moderate permeability of 2.0 -
6.0 in/hr. For purposes of this analysis, the best case permeability of the
soils will be used to evaluate cost feasibility. Should this option prove to
be economically feasible, a soil survey will be conducted to determine the
actual soil permeability. However, if this option proves not to be cost
feasible, the soil survey will not be conducted.
' Application of wastewater is typically limited to days when rainfall is less
than 0.5 inches. Based on local weather data, storage of 60 days should be
' required. Typically 30 days of minimum storage are required to provide
for preliminary treatment. The Cooperative Extension Service and State
Review Group typically recommend maximum application rates of 1" per
week; however, an application rate of 1.5" per week was selected to
evaluate the economics of this alternative.

' Alternatives Analysis

The preliminary design data and preliminary cost estimates have been '
included in the attachments of this report. The estimated land required for
spray fields and buffers is 540 acres. The estimated cost of this option is
$7,840,500.00 including land and professional services. '
C. Expansion of Existing Discharge
As stated earlier, the Town of Fairmont currently owns and operates a '
0.50 MGD wastewater treatment plant that discharges to Pittman's Mill
Branch. Pittman's Mill Branch is a tributary of Old Field Swamp located ,
in the Ashpole Swamp subbasin of the Lumber River. The 7Q10 flow of
this stream is zero making this a"no flow" stream.
There are several concerns about the existingplant that affect this option.
'
p P
There is no duality in the current system. The existing plant has only one '
clarifier, one aeration basin, etc. Additionally, during heavy flows, the
detention time in the aeration basin is not sufficient to provide adequate
treatment. '
If the Town was allowed to expand their discharge to Pittman's Mill
Branch, the limits would likely be lowered to 5 mg/l BODS and 2.0 mg/1 '
NH3N. An entirely new wastewater treatment plant would have to be
constructed to meet these discharge limits. Additionally, the Lumber
River Basinwide Water Quality Management Plan outlines the Division of '
Water Quality's policy for the expansion of discharges into zero flow
streams:
"It is DEM's (currently DWQ)policy not to allow new or '
expanded discharges into "no flow" streams having a
7Q10 or 30Q2 equal to zero. In addition, existing '
facilities on such streams will be targeted for removal
unless it is determined that there are no reasonable '
alternatives."
Further, the Basinwide Management Plan lists both Old Field Swamp and '
Ashpole Swamp as impaired waters. Low dissolved oxygen valves have
been recorded in these streams. Additional discharge to these waters may
further affect water quality. ,
Based on these environmental concerns, this alternative does not appear to
be feasible. The Town has serious concerns regarding the construction ,
and financing of a new wastewater treatment plant that would discharge to
Town of Fairmont Page 4 Hobbs,Upchurch&Associates, P.A. '
Wastewater Treatment& Disposal Consulting Engineers
Alternatives Analysis '

a "zero flow" stream. Therefore, this alternative will be eliminated from
' consideration due to environmental concerns.
D. New Wastewater Treatment Plant With Lumber River Discharge
The remaining alternative for consideration is the construction of a new
wastewater treatment plant with a discharge to the Lumber River. The
' Town has requested speculative limits for a discharge to the Lumber River
near the U.S. Hwy. 74 crossing. Below is a summary of the limits. A
copy of the letter has been included in the attachments of this report.
BODS (mg/1) 15.0
' NH3N(mg/1) 4.0
Dissolved Oxygen(mg/1) 5.0
TSS (mg/1) 30.0
' Fecal Coliform(#/100 ml) 200
pH(SU) 6-9
Total Phosphorus (mg/1) monitor
' Total Nitrogen(mg/1) monitor
Total Residual Chlorine(ug/1) 28
' The Town has been working with the local property owners and the NC
Division of Parks & Recreation to locate a site near the river that can
co-exist with the proposed Lumber River Park Headquarters. A site
' acceptable to all parties has been located off U.S. Hwy. 74. A proposed
layout has been included in the attachments.
The proposed plant will consist of the following components:
' Mechanical Bar Screen
Aerated Grit Chamber
Aeration Basin(with diffused air)
' Dual Clarifiers
Chlorination and Dechlorination Facilities
Influent and Effluent Flow Measurement
' Influent and Effluent Pump Station
Associated Piping
' The estimated cost of the project is $5,217,640.00 with an annual
operation and maintenance budget of$270,420.00.

' Alternatives Analysis

IV. COST COMPARISON:
Based on our review of the alternatives, there are only two (2) options that should be '
considered from a cost standpoint. Pumping to the City of Lumberton was eliminated
due to their unwillingness to accept Fairmont's wastewater. Upgrading the existing plant '
and discharge was eliminated due to environmental considerations.
This leaves the alternatives of Land Application and constructing a New Wastewater '
Treatment Facility. The total capital cost and annual operation and maintenance cost of
each is summarized in the table below. The present work of each is shown as calculated
with an interest rate of 8.5%over 20 years. ,
Capital Gast
Land Application $7,840,500.00 $203,420.00 $9,767,558.69 ,
New WWTP $5,217,640.00 $270,420.00 $7,779,409.79
Construction of new wastewater treatment facility with a discharge to the Lumber River '
is the most cost feasible alternative based on the present worth analysis.

V. FLOW JUSTIFICATION:
' The projected flow for the proposed Fairmont regional wastewater treatment plant has
been based on Fairmont's projected service area and commitments to new users. A
' breakdown of the projected flows has been included in this report in the following table:

Boardman(29 in miles of pipe x 100 gpd) 2,900 7,250
' SUBTOTAL 22,750
TOTAL PROJECTED FLOW 1,402,753
' The average flows as listed in the table for the Town of Fairmont are based on the 1996
flow data. The average flows for the other communities are based on the household
usage. The peak flows are based on a 2.5 peaking factor.
An unspecified industrial allocation of 10% of the existing peak'flow has been added to
the flow projections. Additionally, 100,000 gpd has been allocated for the Town's
industrial shell building that is currently not occupied. This allocation is based on
industrial prospects that have projected flow usage. Finally, an increase in the amount of
' inflow and infiltration has been included in these flow projections. These inflow and
infiltration projections are based on the age of the systems.
The total projected flow for the 20 year period is estimated to be 1.40 MGD. Based on
current state regulations that require facilities to begin planning for expansions once they
' reach 80% of the capacity of the facility, design flows must be based on this 80% rule.
Therefore, the recommended design flow of the proposed Fairmont treatment plant is
1.75 MGD.

VI. RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS:
Based on our review of the alternatives available for wastewater treatment and disposal, '
we recommend that the Town pursue construction of a new wastewater treatment facility
that will discharge to the Lumber River. This is the most cost feasible solution that is
also environmentally feasible. Implementation of this alternative will allow the Town to
abandon their existing wastewater discharge, will allow the Orrurn Middle School to
abandon their discharge and will allow the Towns of Proctorville and Orrum to begin '
their sewer systems.

' The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity using test procedures outlined in:
1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic
Bioassay Procedure - Revised *September 1989) or subsequent versions.
The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or
significant mortality is 90% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document).
' The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance
with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from the effective date
of this permit during the months of February, May, August, and November. Effluent sampling
for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all
treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
' Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed. using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original)is to be sent to the following address:
' Attention:
Environmental Sciences Branch
North Carolina Division of
' Environmental Management
4401 Reedy Creek Road
Raleigh, N.C. 27607
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly
monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this
monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this
permit may be re-opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
' control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test
and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit
suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements.

Robeson County
Dear Ms. Lockley:
' I am writing in response to your letter requesting speculative limits for a proposed relocation and
expansion of the Town of Fairmont's wastewater treatment plant. The wastewater discharge from
this facility currently flows into the Pitman Mill Branch which is located in the Ashpole Swamp
' watershed. The proposed relocation is to the Lumber River mainstem at Highway 74 near the
Boardman gage.
As part of the preparation for the Lumber River Management Plan, the USGS developed a low
flow profile for the Lumber River which includes flow statistics at the Boardman gage. The
following represents those determinations:
Drainage Area: 1,228 miles2
' summer 7010: 122 cfs
winter 7010: 250 cfs
0 average: 1,300 cfs
3002: 304 cfs
' The recommendations made in this letter reflect management strategies for the Lumber River
Basin. The Lumber River Basinwide Water Quality Management Plan describes the swamp-like
conditions which exist throughout most of the watershed. A good example is the Lumber River
' mainstem downstream from Lumberton where DO concentrations approach 3 mg/I. This is
considerably lower than the rest of the river's mainstem and is well below the state standard of 5
mg/I. It is difficult to determine to what extent these low DO concentrations are natural or should
' be attributed to point source discharges of oxygen-demanding wastes located just upstream. At
this time, DEM, (Division of Environmental Management) does not have an adequate tool to
evaluate these swamp systems. To address the uncertainty surrounding the water quality in the
Lumber River and the lack of a modeling tool, a permitting strategy was developed. Therefore,
' recommendations for all new dischargers to the Lumber River watershed will receive advanced
secondary limits unless facilities are relocated to an area where more stringent limits are already in
place.

' Please be advised that response to this request does not guarantee that the Division will issue an
NPDES permit to discharge treated wastewater into these receiving waters. It should be noted
that a new facility involving an expenditure of public funds or use of public (state) lands and having
' a design capacity of 0.5 MGD or greater (or a facility proposing an expansion of 0.5 MGD or
greater), or exceeding one-third of the 7Q10 of the receiving stream will require the preparation of
an environmental assessment (EA) by the applicant. DEM will not accept a permit application for a
project requiring an EA until the document has been approved by the Department of
' Environment, Health and Natural Resources and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has
been sent to the state Clearinghouse for review and comment.
The EA should contain a clear justification for the proposed facility and an analysis of potential
' alternatives which should include a thorough evaluation of non-discharge alternatives. In
addition, an EA should show how water reuse, conservation and inflowlinfiftration reductions have
been considered. Nondischarge alternatives, such as spray irrigation, water conservation, inflow
and infiltration reduction or connection to a regional treatment and disposal system, are
considered to be environmentally preferable to a surface water discharge. In accordance with the
North Carolina General Statutes, the practicable waste treatment and disposal alternative with the
least adverse impact on the environment is required to be implemented. If the EA demonstrates
' that the project may result in a significant adverse affoct on the quality of the environment, an
Environmental Impact Statement would be required. Monica Swihart of the Water Quality
Planning Branch can provide further information regarding the requirements of the N.C.
Environmental Policy Act.
Please note that Inflow and Infiltration is still a concern for the existing facility. Contact with our
Regional Office indicates that ongoing efforts to remedy these problems are taking place.
' Toxic specific limits have not been reviewed in this speculative analysis. The Technical Support
Branch would recommend coordination between your staff and our Pretreatment Staff to
determine possible toxicants involved in this proposed discharge. Our current information
indicates that no Significant Industrial Users, (SIU's) are currently tied into your plant. A complete
evaluation of limits and monitoring requirements for metals and other toxicants will need to be
addressed at the time of a formal NPDES application.
' Under current Division of Environmental Management (DEM) procedure, dechlorination and
chlorine limits are recommended for all new or expanding dischargers proposing the use of
chlorine for disinfection. An acceptable level of residual chlorine in the proposed discharge is
28 pg/I for protection against acute toxicity. The process of chlorination / dechlorination or ultra
' violet radiation may all;v, the facility to comply with the total residual chlorine limit.

Town of Fain-nom, WWTP NCO021059
Again, please note that these limits ares speculative and are
P for planning purposes only. The final
NPDES effluent limitations will be determined after a formal permit application has been submitted
' to the Division of Environmental Management. If there are any additional questions concerning
this matter, please feel free to contact Farrell Keough, (ext. 51 o) or me, (ext. 519) at (9 19)
