Description of Treatment Process
The Town of Waynesville WWTP Is a 6 MGD activated sludge treatment plant and includes influent flow
measurement, bar screen, primary clarifiers, gravity sludge thickeners aeration, secondary clarifiers,
gaseous chlorine disinfection, and gaseous sulfur dioxide dichlorination. Solids are belt filter pressed and
hauled to the White Oak Landfill. The treated wastewater is discharged into the Pigeon River under
permit number NC0025321.
Summary of Violations During 202
The Town of Waynesville WWTP was issued several monthly NOVs. The NOVs were for TSS, BOD, Fecal
coliform, and DO. The NOVs received was due largely to the age of the plant and large rain events. We
are currently in the process of a nearly 30-million-dollar plant upgrade. This biggest culprit of failing the
permit limit is the secondary clarifiers are under sized and function poorly. The have-to-have extensive
maintenance due to the engineered design. Every effort is made to stay proactive of the maintenance,
however there are still numerous mechanical issue the must be handled reactively.
