Re: Lagoon and NPDES Future Flow Estimations
• Residuals Flow Estimations
o Typical Operation
■ Scenarios:
RECEIVED

NCDEQIDWRINPDES
Scenario 1: Average flow (21 mgd), average solids loading (300 lb/MG)
Scenario 2: Average flow (21 mgd), maximum month solids loading
(500 lb/MG)
Scenario 3: Maximum month flow (30 mgd), average solids loading (300
lb/MG)
Operational Conditions
100 hour filter run times
• 1 sedimentation basin blowdown per train per day
• 1 hour Superpulsator cycle run times
o Increased Residuals Operation
Scenarios
Scenario 4: Maximum month flow (30 mgd), maximum week solids
loading (570 lb/MG)
Scenario 5: Maximum month flow (30 mgd), maximum month solids
loading (5001b/MG)
Operational Conditions
• 60 hour filter run times
• 1 - 2 sedimentation basin blowdowns per train per day
• 1 hour Superpulsator cycle run times
o Add Contingency for Clearwell and Basin Draining
■ One Clearwell = 3 MG
■ One SuperP = 0.5 MG
3.5 MG averaged over 30 days = 0.12 MG
o Max Month Flow and Max Month Loading plus contingency for clearwell and basin
draining = 0.97 MG
*does not include any stormwater discharge to lagoon

blowdown event
It is recommended that this sampling plan be carried out once. Samples should be taken during typical
solids loading conditions and in the course of one evening when blowdowns are typically initiated.
