Fourth Creek WWTP
Dear Mr. Perlmutter,
RECEIVED
NCDEQ/DWR/NPDES
In response to your request dated Monday 281h, 2023 requesting information regarding an Engineer
Certification for the upgrade to 6 MGD. In 1987, the following additions were installed to bring the
Fourth Creek WWTP operable at the 6 MGD capacity.
A 70' diameter x 12' deep final clarifier bringing the total to 3 final clarifiers.
A second chlorine contact and effluent reaeration basin.
• A new aerobic digester with (3) 60 hp mechanical aerators.
• A new sludge pumping station with dual 25 hp rotary lobe sludge pumps.
• A new belt type filter press with associated polymer system, piping, valves, and fittings for
sludge dewatering.
The above additions are based on a set of drawings dated 1987, project # 0732 from Peirson & Whitman
Inc. Consulting Engineers. Upon the start of my employment with the City of Statesville in 1996, the
above additions had already been installed and completed. The above information is to the best of my
knowledge and will serve as an amendment to the NPDES application renewal process.
AS'ncy,
Andy Smith
Water Resources Operations Manager
