However the footnote reads, "The quarterly average for total phosphorus shall be the average of samples collected weekly during each calendar quarter." There is some confusion on this as to what is required.

This resulted in the identification of 26 facilities for possible permitting actions. A list of the facilities was routed to the 5 regional offices in the Cape Fear Basin for staff recommendations. A summary of the recommendations are included below. Assigned permit writers should incorporate recommended actions or conduct follow-ups with the regions and/or the appropriate ROC as necessary.

NC0026671, Elizabethtown W WTP (permit assigned to Jim M.) —No action recommended. Problems seem to be resolved. 3. NC0058548, Star WWTP (permit assigned to Jim M.) — No action recommended. Problems caused by a lack of flow to the plant (loss of industry). 4. NC0061719, Woodlake Country Club WWTP (permit assigned to Maureen S.)— No permitting action recommended. This is an older plant that does not have a clarifier. The operators would like a small clarifier added to the treatment plant, but the owners will not make the purchase. Region feels this would be a good candidate for an Administrative Order (Special Order without Consent). 5. NC0064521, Erwin WWTP (permit assigned toJim M.)—No permitting action recommended. Major 1/1 work has been done at the plant. It is scheduled to close and tie in to the North Harnett regional plant in the next few years. Region feels this would be a good candidate for an Administrative Order (Special Order without Consent). 6. NC0072877, Newton Grove W WTP (permit assigned to Maureen S.) —No action recommended.

Facility is now operating under an SOC and a new plant is under construction. Plant has 1/1 issues that should be resolved with the new plant. 4. NC0056863, Rose Hill WWTP (permit assigned to Jackie N.) — Special condition requesting a solids depth survey and submittal of a plan for solids removal; follow-up with the region. lack of proper O&M (ex., solids volume maintenance and proper oversight of treatment volume/detention in the oxidation ditch) is attributed to compliance issues. Because the facility is classified as a major, need to consider increasing monitoring frequency and adding daily limit requirements. Currently, influent monitoring is controlled by the effluent meter. Need a special condition inserted in renewed permit that upon expansion or significant upgrade that this issue is addressed.

Page 9 of 22 TREATMENT PLANT FLOW DIAGRAM FLOW=0.05-6 mgd Manual Bar Screen 54,000 gallon EQ Basin .th Center t Aerator Cascade ea rda Swamp 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. TOWN OF NEWTON GROVE TREATMENT PLANT NARRATIVE Permit ##NC0072877 The Town of Newton Grove Wastewater Treatment Plant receives wastewater flow through a 6" force main from the main lift station located behind Two Dogs Pizza on Clinton Street US Hwy 701. In addition, wastewater is received via a 4" force main from Hobbton School located on US 701 approximately four miles south of the treatment plant. The wastewater enters the plant through a manual bar screen and into a 54,000 gallon sloped side Flow Equalization Basin. The water is then pumped from the EQ Basin at a constant rate of 0.056 mgd into a circular oxidation ditch consisting of one rotor brush with a 10 foot center clarifier. Treated water then exits the clarifier and flows into a rectangular traveling bridge sand filter. Water exits the filter and flows into a rectangular flow chamber with a 60" V-notch weir with an ultrasonic flow meter. Water then enters an ultraviolet light bank for disinfection. Water exits light bank and flows over a step aerator before entering Beaverdam Swamp. The treatment plant has a state of the art backup generator that is tested weekly and will start in less than 30 seconds in the event of power failure, thus no processes are interrupted. Should the generator fail to start during a power outage or failure, after ten minutes an autodialer is programmed to call out to report generator failure. Waste activated sludge is pumped to a 54,000 gallon sloped side aerobic digester located at the back end of the plant. Biosolids are then sprayed onto an adjacent 7.5 acre permitted Land Application site for disposal. Hull Bermuda grass and oats are grown on the spray field and harvested for hay by local farmers. Hay from the harvest is fed to cattle.
