Dear Mr. Templeton:
The Town ofNewton Grove received the renewal draft permit #NC0072877 dated August 2, 2006
for review. Upon reviewing the new permit some concerns were raised about the increased monitoring for
TKN, Nitrate -Nitrite, Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus to be done three time per week beginning January
1, 2009. As you are aware, the Town of Newton Grove is a small Town and operates on a very limited
budget due to the small size of the tax base here. The increased monitoring that is being mandated by this
new permit will place significant financial stress on the Town. Current prices for this amount of analyses will
put an increase in the sewer budget of $12,000 to $13,000 annually. If inflation is considered by the year
2009, this amount could reach or exceed $15,000 annually. Also, it is noted that the same parameters have
been increased from once per quarter to monthly at the beginning effective date of the new permit. This will
add $1,000 presently to the annual sewer budget.
The Town ofNewton Grove would like to request that the monitoring for TKN, Nitrate -Nitrite, Total
Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus remain at the current frequency of 1/quarter. It is not acceptable to have to
ask the citizens of the Town for another tax increase to cover the cost of monitoring that the Town feels is not
necessary.
Thank you for your consideration of this matter. You may contact me directly at [phone] if
you have any questions.

Subject: Minor NPDES Permit Renewal
Newton Grove WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO072877
Sampson County
Please find below, regional comments for the subject minor permit renewal.
The applicant is requesting modifications of the facility with respect to decreasing flow and
dropping the conductivity sampling that is currently done on the upstream, down stream, and
effluent. The flow decrease from .200 mgd to .125 mgd is due to the plant is only designed for
.125 mgd of flow. The conductivity testing being performed by the plant at this time is not a
permit required test parameter.
A rating sheet is attached because of the modifications request to the permit since the last
permit.
A review of compliance data did not reveal any significant or repetitive violations.
Based on the last NPDES Compliance Inspection, there are no outstanding repairs or
modifications of the treatment works necessary at this time.
No special conditions, limitations, or monitoring is suggested at this time.
Based on the above information, the Fayetteville Regional Office recommends the subject
application for permit renewal should be processed in keeping with current basin wide strategy.

To Whom It Concerns:
Enclosed is the renewal application package for The Town of Newton Grove NPDES Permit #
NC0072877. The Town of Newton Grove requests some modifications be made to the existing permit. The
first modification requested would be to reduce the permitted flow rate from the origina10.200 mgd to 0.125
mgd. The 0.125 mgd rate is the current design flow rate for the existing treatment plant. Also, The Town
would like to request reduced monitoring on the upstream and downstream and effluent sampling. The Town
would like to omit the conductivity sampling that is currently done on the upstream, downstream, and
effluent. This would help economically by reducing the impact of this type of sampling on the Town's budget
and it is believed that conductivity of the effluent has no impact on the receiving stream.
Thank you for your consideration of these modification requests. You may call me directly at (910)
594-0827 if you have any questions. You may also call Jim Ballance- Public Utilities Director at (910) 591-
7871, for further assistance with any questions or comments you may have.

TOWN OF NEWTON GROVE
TREATMENT PLANT NARRATIVE
The Town of Newton Grove Wastewater Treatment Plant receives wastewater flow
through a 6" force main from the lift station located behind Two Dogs Pizza on US Hwy 701.
Also, wastewater is received via a 4" force main from the local high school located 4 miles south
of the treatment plant on US Hwy 701. The wastewater flows through a manual bar screen and
into a 54,000 gallon sloped side equalization basin. The water is then pumped out of the basin at
a constant rate of 0.043 mgd into a circular oxidation ditch consisting of one rotor brush with a
10 foot center clarifier. Treated water leaves the clarifier and flows to a rectangular traveling
bridge sand filter. Water exits the filter to a weir with an ultrasonic flow meter and then through
an ultraviolet light bank for disinfection. Water exits the treatment plant down a step cascade
aerator before entering Beaverdam Swamp. The treatment plant has a backup power generator
that is used to load share during peak demand times with the power company. This generator is
state of the art in that it will restart the power should a failure occur within 30;seconds, thus no
processes are interupted. Should the generator fail, within 10 minutes an autodialer will call to
report the failure. Waste activated sludge is pumped to a 54,000 gallon sloped side aerobic
digester located at the end of the plant. Biosolids are then sprayed onto 7.4 acres located beside
the road that leads to the treatment plant. Hull bermuda grass and oats are grown on the sludge
spray field and harvested by local farmers. Hay from the harvest is fed to cattle.

TOWN OF NEWTON GROVE
SLUDGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Town of Newton Grove operates a wastewater treatment plant for 100% domestic
sewer users under NPDES permit #NC0072877. The wastewater treatment plant is a
conventional activated sludge facility and generates approximately 250,000 gallons of waste
activated sludge per year. The sludge is pumped to a 54,000 gallon aerobic digester for
stabilization. The sludge is then pumped onto a permitted tract of land, (NPDES permit
#WQ0010470), for sludge application. The process includes a 15 h.p. pump and a 3" header pipe
installed on 7.4 acres located beside the treatment plant. Sludge is sprayed evenly across the
application field by use of 1.5" risers with diffuser heads located throughout the field. Hull
bermuda grass and oats are grown on the site and harvested by local farmers for cattle feed.
The Town of Newton Grove has a remote field consisting of 33.7 acres located off US
Hwy 13 next to Interstate 40. Sludge can be pumped from the digester and hauled to the site
using trucks and disced into the ground because several different crops are grown on the site at
different times of the year. This site is a contingency site should it be needed. All sludge is
tested annually and reported as required by NPDES permit #WQ0010470 to NCDWQ. An
Annual Report of all sludge application activities is generated each year as required by permit
#WQ0010470.
This Plan shall remain in effect as long as the treatment plant is in operation and sludge is
generated by the treatment process.
