The small treatment plant at Mt. Pisgah serves a major visitor use area, which includes
a 55-unit hotel, a restaurant, a country store, a multi unit employee housing area, a 140-
site campground, and a 50-site picnic area. Current annual area visitation figures exceed
290,000. The plant discharges seasonally since all of the visitor facilities are closed
through the winter. Sewage from area facilities is collected in a network of sewer lines
and transported to the wastewater treatment plant for processing. The permitted
capacity of the plant is 32,000 gallons per day. The average flow for the operating season
is 16,500 gallons per day. The packaged treatment plant system is an extended aeration
plant with aeration, clarification, and UV disinfection processes utilizing a 10 micron
filter. A sludge thickening basin collects sludge from the treatment process and further
thickens and treats the solids before they are pumped out for disposal. The extended
aeration package treatment system produces acceptable effluent quality (low levels of
BOD, Total Suspended Solids, and Ammonia).
