For discharges associated with water treatment plants
❑ Conventional (Includes coagulation, flocculation, and sedimentation, usually followed by filtration and
disinfection)
❑ Ion Exchange (Sodium Cycle Cationic ion exchange)
❑ Green Sand Filter (No sodium recharge)

Check here if the treatment process also uses a water softener ❑
6. Description of source water(s) (Le, groundwater, surface water)
groundwater
7. Describe the treatment process(es) for the raw water:_
Water is drawn via two of three ground water wells at any given time at a rate of 400 GPM. The well water has
acid and a scale inhibitor added to convert the sulfides to carbonate and prevent scaling of the membranes
respectively the water is then filtered by 5 micron filters. The treated water is then forced through two
seperate skids containing thirty six Filmtec NF90-400 Membrane Elements per skid a two stage process were
75% recovery occures. 100 GPM of waste water or 25% of the recovery process is sent to a field ditch in front
of our facility this waste product contains minerals and inorganics concentrated by the process, the PH level
averages 7.0 su. 300 GPM of clean processed water (Permeate) is further processed for human consumption.
The permeate is mixed with 50GPM of filtered raw well water and runs through a degasifier (to vent the
sulfides to the atmosphere) where a corrosion control product is added to protect the distrobution fines,, 12.5%
sodium Hypochlorite is added for disinfection and 50% sodium Hydroxide is added to adjust the PH. The
water then fills a 300,000 Gallon holding tank for chlorine contact time and storage. The water is then pumped
to town for comsumption.
8. Describe the wastewater and the treatment process(es) for wastewater generated by the facility:
The membrane facility generates waste water(concentrated well water) at a metered 100 GPM; 50 GPM per
skid. As the well water is forced through the first stages of skid #1 and skid #2 the water seperates from the
minerals and suspended particales in the process sending the clean water through the center tubes in the
middle of the membranes and the concentrate or waste to the outside of the membrane away from the
permeate or clean water. At this point only 50% recovery has taken place. The waste water from the first
stage now enters the second and final stage where the water is processed once more 2516/6 going to the drinking
water side and 25% going to the waste at 50 GPM per skid. After the consentrate or waste water exits the
Water Treatment Facility it discharges in a field ditch 100 feet from the facility where the water then flows
south towards Pantego Creek approximately 1.39 miles away from the facility. Along the way to Pantego
Creek the discharged concentrated well water is absorbed by the soil diluted by rain water run off and
evaporation. The treatment processes are all natural. It is only a concentration of well water menerials and
inorganics. This ficility processes ground water and produces no sludge or solids so as a result has no solids
Handling plan.
9. Number of separate discharge points: 1
Outfall Identification number(s) 001
10. Frequency of discharge: Continuous ❑
If intermittent:
Days per week discharge occurs:7
11. Plant design potable flowrate 0.5 MGD
Backwash or reject flow 0.22 MGD
Intermittent 0
Duration: 7 to 8 hours

longitude):

potential to be discharged.
KL1000 (Hardness Scale, Metal Oxide Scale) cleaning use

Mrs. Maureen Kinney
NC DENR / DWQ / Surface Water Protection - NPDES
1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
The Town of Belhaven would like to formally request the renewal of its NPDES Permit
NC0086584.
Enclosed is the complete permit renewal application for The Town of Belhaven's Water
Treatment Facility. Along with this application you will find a color coded drawing of the
system processes and a topographic map of the discharge from start to finish.
The facility is a ground water supplied Nano Filtration Drinking Water System and does
not produce waste solids, so at this juncture in time there is not a solids handling plan in
place.
Sincerely,
Town of ell�ay¢n, TF
Garland S. Grant III, ORC
