Facility Summary- This WTP discharges to Buffalo Creek, currently a Class C waterbody with
flow controlled by the upstream dam [7Q10 summer and winter consistently 13 cfs]. This results in an
instream waste concentration (IWC) of less than 1% (0.71) of the receiving stream. Source -water is
extracted from Kings Mountain Reservoir [John Moss Lake]. WTP operates 7-days a week, 6-10 hrs /day.
Raw -Water Treatment [potable flow, 8.0 MGD]; employs coagulation utilizing alum, potassium
permanganate, caustic, and PAC followed by flocculation, sedimentation, pre -filter chlorination, filtration,
post -filter chlorination, post -filter caustic, and fluoridation.
Wastewater Treatment [waste flow 0.060 MGD]; includes adding polymer and de -chlorination prior
to the sludge -thicker tank. Additional de -chlorination can be applied as needed in a subsequent wet
well. Alum sludge is dewatered with a belt press. Solids are landfilled.
WET Testing_- For IWCs greater than 0.25%, currently recommended permit -renewal
procedures for conventional treatment technology recommend a Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity
(WET) test, 7-day pass/fail using test species Ceriodaphnia dubia [TGP3B]. Since October 2010 the
