Water Treatment Plant Wastewater Disposal
Engineering Alternatives Analysis
11 /16/2012
Background and Contact Information
The Town of Mocksville owns and operates the Hugh A. Lagle Water Treatment Plant (PWSID
02-03-010) located at 771 Sanford Avenue, Mocksville, NC, 27028 and operated by Geoff Beane,
ORC (336 751-2635). The Mocksville Town Manager is Mrs. Christine Bralley (336 751-2259).
The Mocksville Town Hall is located at 171 Clement St., Mocksville, NC, 27028. This report is
prepared by John Grey, PE of Grey Engineering, Inc., 254 W. Water St., Mocksville, NC 27028
(336 751-2110).
The Lagle Water Treatment Plant currently discharges untreated process wastewater into a
tributary of Bear Creek near Sanford Avenue in Davie County, NC.
Figure 1 shows the location of the water treatment plant on a USGS topographic map and the
vicinity within a 1 mile radius.
Raw water is drawn from Hunting Creek through three constant speed pumps and delivered for
treatment to the Lagle Plant. Figures 2 and 3 provide overviews of the water treatment plant
along with information on dates of construction of various plant elements. Figure 4 is a treatment
process flow schematic.
Wasteflows and Volumes
It is important to note that, since the constant speed raw water pumps do not permit variable flow
control, flow through the treatment process is controlled by allowing sediment basins to overflow
into the wastewater drains as required to maintain treated water quality.
Each of the wastewater treatment scenarios presented assume that the raw water pumping
system and the chemical addition systems are modified to allow for variable flow through the
treatment system without routinely wasting raw water through the sediment basins.
Table 1 shows existing and projected service populations, demand and wasteflows.

Some background information for Table 1 includes:
From previous studies:
Population projections are in accordance with NCOSBM.
Backwash flows average 3% of finished flows.
Backwash suspended solids average 510 mgl.
Sed basin solids average 17,000 mgl.
Total sed basin volume is 250,000 gallons.
Sed basins are cleaned twice each year.
Max filter backwash flow is 1,800 gpm.
Max sed basin cleaning flow is 3,700 gpm.
Alternative Evaluation
Common Alternative Features
Each of the alternatives investigated requires flow equalization, solids removal and
chlorine control. Therefore, Figure 5 shows a pretreatment facility providing two, 50'
diameter (180,000 gallons) equalization/settling tanks with solids pumping capacity and
chlorine control capability. This facility is designed to receive flows from sed basin
cleaning of 3,700 gpm, filter backwash of 1,800 gpm and to equalize those flows to
approximately 150 gpm.
The construction cost of this facility along with raw water pump station modifications is
estimated to be approximately $1,700,000.
Average annual operating costs for sludge removal at 0.07$/gal and electrical costs of
0.07 $/kwh are expected to be approximately $51,000 and $9,000 respectively.
Surface Water Discharge
This alternative will require no additional capital expense beyond the pretreatment facility
and will require the least on -going operating expense.
Sewer Discharge
The Town pumps wastewater to the County's Cooleemee plant through a pump station
permitted at 500,000 gpd and currently operating at approximately 200,000 gpd. When
the pretreatment facility is discharging at 150 gpm (216,OOOgpd) the station will see a
flow near its average rated capacity for an extended time. While the average annual daily
flow is relatively small, the Town will need to be sensitive to surge flows during periods of
extensive discharge. No additional capital expense beyond the pretreatment facility is
anticipated in this analysis however, the Town would be required to pay a sewage
treatment charge to Davie County currently set at $3.27/kgal. Average price increases
are approximately 3% per year. This will amount to an average expense of approximately
$133,000/yr for an average of 26.8 MG/yr at a price of 4.97$/1000g.
Land Application
Figure 6 shows soil types, flood plains and property parcels in the vicinity of the water
treatment plant. An appropriate land application disposal site appears to be available in
the location shown. A review of tax valuation records indicates that land values might
reasonably be approximately $6,000 per acre. Application rates for the soils indicated
may generally be taken as 0.2 g/sf/d based on similar project investigations elsewhere in
the County. Active field area for 150 gpm at that loading rate is approximately 25 acres.
Allowing for on -site storage, buffer areas and unusable areas of approximately 30%, the
Town of Mocksville Page 2 of 3
Hugh A. Lagle Water Treatment Plant
actual area required is approximately 36 acres. Wastewater would be pumped from the
pretreatment facility to the storage pond at the application site and then pumped from the
pond onto the fields. The application fields and storage pond would require monitoring
and maintenance. Therefore two additional pump stations will be required along with a
storage pond and distribution system. The storage pond would be sized to hold a 30 day
supply of effluent and would therefore have a volume of approximately 875,000 gallons
with 2 feet of freeboard.
The cost of design, construction and land acquisition for the land application system is
estimated to be approximately $575,000 with annual operating costs of approximately
$91, 500/yr.

Conclusion
Water plant wastewater discharge to the receiving stream after appropriate treatment is the most
cost effective means of disposal for the Town of Mocksville by a wide margin,
