RE: DMR Limits—Cane Creek Middle School
NC0086436
Dear Mr. Haner:
This letter is in regards to the residual chlorine limits for Cane Creek Middle School. Your most
recent inspection of this facility with our operator,Mr. Henson,revealed that the 28 ug/1 is
awfully low for a plant of this size. Mr. Henson has monitored this effluent problem very closely
since the opening of the plant and has had difficulty in maintaining this limit.
I would like to request that the residual chlorine limit for this plant be raised to 700 ug/1,which
mirrors our sister WTP at Fairview Elementary. Your assistance with this matter would be
greatly appreciated. If you have questions or require more information, please contact me at the
above numbers.

RE: Sludge Management Procedures
NC0061182, NC0073814,NC0066796,NC0066788,NC0086436
Dear Ms. Jackson:
The following is in reference to your request for a narrative description of the sludge management
plan for the subject wastewater treatment facilities.
There are no sludge handling treatment units on-site, or is the sludge discharge to the receiving
waters.
RPB Systems Inc., our contracted wastewater operator, contracts the pumping of excess solids as
indicated by the increasing MLSS (mixed liquor suspended solids). The ORC or on-site operator
makes this assessment based on MLSS lab results. As the MLSS increases beyond the
recommended concentration, solids are wasted from the activated sludge system. The contract
hauler takes the waste activated sludge to a local municipality,which accepts such wastes, or to
another wastewater treatment plant that has experienced an upset and is in need of reseeding.
Should you have any questions regarding the pumping and disposal of sludge for these facilities,
please contact Mr. Bob Barr of RPB Systems Inc. at(828)251-1900 or myself at the above
numbers.
Respectfully, l ,. f,
R. Belvin Hall—Assistant Director
