Descrip�on of Treatment Process
The Town of Waynesville WWTP is a 6 MGD ac�vated sludge treatment plant and includes influent flow
measurement, bar screening, primary clarifiers, gravity skudge thickeners, aera�on basin, secondary
clarifiers, gaseous chlorine disinfec�on, and gaseous sulfur dioxide dechlorina�on. Solids are belt filter
pressed and are hauled to the Whiteoak landfill for ul�mate disposial. The treated wastewater is
discharged into the Pigeon River on Richland Creek Road under permit number NC0025321.
Summery of Viola�ons During 2023
The Town of Waynesville WWTP was issued on going no�ce of viola�ons for 11 months of the year. This
is due to shallow secdonary clarifiers. This leads to a poorly setling sludge that escapes the chlorine
contact basin as par�ally treated effluent.
Work is well under way for the first upgrade in 20 plus years. Harper General Contractors are
construc�ng a new primary filter system, upgraded aera�on basin with new blowers , improved
secondary clarifier sludge removal with 4 feet of added depth. This will greatly improve the WWTP
treatment efficency and place us back in compliance with the state.
