D. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Provide a brief description of the project: The purpose of this project is to expand the treatment capacity of the Mebane Water
Resource Reclamation Facilitv from 2.5 MGD to 4.0 MGD and meet the new speculative NPDES Dermit limits. The proposed Droiect
will expand existing headworks with the addition of one (1) element screen with washer/compactor and one (1) vortex grit
removal unit; construct new influent pump station; two (2) five -stage biological nutrient removal basins; RAS and WAS Pump
Stations; two (2) secondary clarifiers; denitrification filters; two -channel LIV disinfection; and fine -bubble diffused post aeration.
The project also includes all required chemical feeds, electrical work, and yard piping. An existing clarifier will be converted to
sludge holding. An alternate bid item would convert an existing aeration basin to flow equalization.

to this Application) written approval from the Director that the facility:
➢ Has a private water supply that automatically shuts off during power failures and does not contain elevated water
storage tanks, and
➢ Has sufficient storage capacity that no potential for overflow exists, and
➢ Can tolerate septic wastewater due to prolonged detention.
7. Per 15A NCAC 02T .0505(o), a minimum of 30 days of residual storage shall be provided. Is this condition met by the
design? ❑ Yes or ® No. If no, explain the alternative design criteria proposed for this project in accordance 15A NCAC
02T .105(n): A future Phase 2 of the Mebane WRRF Expansion will add an additional 0.93 MG of sludge storage which will
ensure adequate on -site sludge storage. In the interim period until that expansion is complete, the City of Mebane will
increase the frequency with which its sludge dewatering and hauling contractor is on -site.
8. Per 15A NCAC 02T .0505(g), the public shall be prohibited from access to the wastewater treatment facilities. Explain how
the design complies with this requirement: The plant is enclosed by a fence and gate.
9. Is the treatment facility located within the 100-year flood plain? ® Yes or ❑ No. If yes, describe how the facility is
protected from the 100-year flood: All improvements are designed to limit topography and floodplain impacts as much as
practical. Best manaeement practices for erosion and sediment control will be utilized durine construction. Structures
located within the 100-year flood plain will use sidewalls raised at least 2'-0" above base flood elevation or similar
protective measures. No WWTP components will be built in the floodway.
