Page 9 of 22 THE TOWN OF BOILING SPRINGS WASTEWATER TREATMENT PLANT Treatment Process The Treatment Plant is designed to function as an activated -sludge treatment facility. The plant is designed to receive 100% domestic/commercial wastewater. Debris and grit are removed at the head of the plant, after which the influent enters two parallel aeration basins for biological treatment. Wastewater then passes into two parallel secondary clarifiers for sludge settling. Rotating scraper assemblies collect and remove settled sludge from the bottom of the clarifiers while effluent passes over top of the weirs. Collected sludge is either pumped to the head of the plant for combination with the raw influent or to one of the digesters for sludge treatment and holding. Effluent from the clarifiers enters the ultraviolet disinfection channel and then passes into the outfall which discharges into Sandy Run Creek. The design efficiency of the plant is 88% based on influent concentrations of 240 mg/l BOD and 240 mg/l TSS, which is based on permitted effluent concentrations of 30 mg/l for each parameter. Sludge Disposal Sludge is land applied via a tanker truck to permitted fields in the Town of Boiling Springs land application permit #WQ0018352. During periods of rain, snow, or frozen weather sludge can be hauled to the Cliffside Sanitary District WWTP permit # NC0004405 and introduced in the treatment plant and treated through their process. Also the sludge can be hauled to the City of Shelby composting facility permit #WQ0007780. Town of Boiling Springs WWTP 2555 Rockford Road Boiling Springs , N. C.
