A? -So 1^ 1 INTRODUCTION I I I The Town Council of the Town of Clayton retained the firm of Hobbs, Upchurch and Associates to prepare an amendment to the existing NPDES permit. Clayton is served by one wastewater treatment plant owned and operated by the Town with discharge into the Neuse River. This plant currently serves the Clayton Municipal Limits, the east Clayton industrial area, the East Clayton Elementary School area and collection facilities which serve the to the I40/NC 42 interchange area, and the Cleveland Community (service area). This expansion project will service this same area. An agreement between the Town of Clayton and Johnston County is intended to permit the Town and the County to effectively utilize their respective wastewater treatment capacities. The agreement states that the Town of Clayton can divert up to 600,000 gpd of wastewater flow from the East Clayton Industrial Park to the county system and in return will receive a similar daily quantity of wastewater flow from the western 140/142 interchange area portion of Johnston County. Page 1 NPDES Permit Modification for the Town of Clayton Engineering Alternatives Analysis Engineering Alternatives Analysis NPDES Permit Modification to Increase Daily Permitted Flow Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade Project Town of Clayton, North Carolina NC0025461 Johnston County owned facilities currently serve the I40/NC 42 interchange area, which is comprised predominantly of light commercial developments and several residential subdivisions. Wastewater flows from this area are transported by Johnston County owned utilities to the Town of Clayton’s wastewater treatment plant. In trade for this treatment of flow, the County transports wastewater from the East Clayton Industrial Park to the Johnston County regional wastewater treatment plant located in Smithfield during periods of peak flow. The Glen Laurel residential development and the Caterpillar industrial site are also jointly utilized by both facilities. An amendment to the 201 Facilities Plan was prepared by McKim and Creed on behalf of the Town of Clayton in 1993 and an expansion from 1.5 mgd to 1.9 mgd with tertiary treatment was designed and bid. The Little Creek Water Reclamation Facility was expanded and upgraded in 1987 to 1989 and again in 1998 to 1999 with the all the new The Clayton service area is defined by two major drainage basins, the Little Creek basin and the Neuse River basin. After examination in a 1997 study by McKim and Creed of existing users, zoning, current land use and development patterns in and surrounding the Town of Clayton, it was determined that the major contributions to long-term growth will be primarily from residential development and secondarily from industrial expansion. The service population in 1997 was approximately 11,250. Industrial locations are found mainly along the US Highway 70 corridor with the most prominent being the East Clayton Industrial Park. I The purpose of this NPDES permit expansion is to begin the re-rating of the existing WWTP to the expanded capacity of 2.5 mgd. The engineering evaluation by Hobbs, Upchurch indicate that the existing facilities with minor modifications are capable to treat to this design flow. In addition to this evaluation, an Environmental Assessment for this Page 2 NPDES Permit Modification for the Town of Clayton Engineering Alternatives Analysis facilities commissioned in May, 1999. The scope of improvements was consistent with the Clayton 201 Wastewater Facilities Plan, and the treatment facilities were planned to provide adequate service to Clayton and its environs through the year 2007. Explosive growth in Wake County, and its attendant effect in western Johnston County have resulted in the treatment facilities nearing their design capacity much sooner than has been forecast. In addition, the anticipation of much more stringent effluent limitations for receiving streams in the Neuse River Basin have necessitated the comprehensive review and evaluation of wastewater treatment and disposal options for the Town for the foreseeable future. The design capacity of the LCWRF, and its current permitted flow rate, are set at 1.9 MGD. The influent flow to the LCWRF for averaged 1.35 and 1.32 MGD, respectively in 1998 and 1999. This is 69 to 71 percent of its permitted capacity. When the influent flow reaches an annual average of 80 percent of the plants capacity, or 1.52 MGD at the currently permitted flow capacity, the Town must begin planning and design of new capacity in order to avoid a moratorium or other actions. Once the Town begins such a process, they can apply for a waiver to allow the plant to accept up to 90 percent of its currently permitted flow rate or 1.71 MGD. Additionally the Raleigh Regional Office of the DWQ has expressed concern that sewer permit allocations to the LCWRF are approaching 100% of the permitted capacity. While it may be several years before these allocated flows become actual flows, DWQ has chosen to withhold additional sewer permits at such time as 100% of the capacity is allocated. At the current growth in the system the Town has 2-3 years in which to plan and develop additional flow capacity. As more people live and work in the Neuse River Basin, more wastewater will continue to be generated. Treatment and disposal of this wastewater will be accomplished either by enlarging or creating more wastewater treatment plants or by constructing more on site wastewater systems such as septic systems. Because the basin’s surface waters have a limited capacity to assimilate wastewater, the level of treatment at wastewater treatments will need to continue to improve in order to hold the line on the amount of pollutants leaving the plants as the flow of wastewater to them increases. Also, while on site wastewater systems can provide a very effective means of disposing and treating wastewater from individual homes or communities, they can also pose environmental risks if not properly installed and maintained. The last population projections from the State of North Carolina indicate that Johnston County grew from a population of 81,306 in 1990 to 99,215 in 1996. The estimated population in 2016 is 141,563. The Town of Clayton grew from a population of 4,756 in 1990 to 6,810 in 1996. Using the same growth rate of approximately 43%, the Town’s 2016 projected population would be 9,738. The County growth is occurring rapidly in the I40/NC42 and Cleveland Community, which are also served by the Clayton system. A Finding of No I Monitor I By achieving this expansion with existing facilities the Town of Clayton should be able to continue serving the expected growth within the next 2-3 year period during which the Town can begin a full 201 Facilities Plan Update for a 20 year plan for wastewater needs. The purpose of the update to 201 Facilities Plan will be to determine the most cost effective means for future wastewater treatment and disposal which will meet water quality standards and accommodate future growth of the Clayton wastewater service area. The existing NPDES permit allows a 1.9 mgd discharge of tertiary treated wastewater to the Neuse River at a point between SR 1700 and NC 42. The Neuse River is classified as WS-IV NSW CA in this area. The summer 7Q10 for the Neuse River is 186 cfs at this location. The City of Raleigh WWTP discharge is approximately 9 miles upstream and the City of Smithfield Water Plant intake is downstream in the critical area designation of the River. The following speculative effluent limits (dated July 10, 2000) have been given for the expanded wastewater treatment facility by the Division of Water Quality: expansion has been completed and is included in Appendix A. Significant Impact was determined on January 16, 2002.

Per the Neuse River Basin Rules, the Page 3 NPDES Permit Modification for the Town of Clayton Engineering Alternatives Analysis 2 EXISTING WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES I The existing 1.9 mgd facility consists of the following unit processes: I expansion of the WWTP would also result in a Total Phosphorus limit drop to 1 mg/1 unless the Town is a member of the Association. A copy of these Speculative Limits is included as Exhibit 3 of the attached Environmental Assessment. The existing facility currently is compliant with flow limits of 1.9 mgd, 5.0 ppm for BOD, 30 ppm for TSS, 2 ppm for NH3-N, 2.0 ppm for TP, 200/100 ml for Fecal Coliform, and 21,400 Ib/yr for TN.

The current NPDES permit establishes the rated design capacity at a monthly average of 1.9 million gallons per day. An engineering evaluation of the existing wastewater treatment plant has been completed by Hobbs, Upchurch and Associates, P.A. This report was presented to the Town of Clayton Town Council in June of 1999. The evaluation of the wastewater treatment plant recommends an upgrade to the existing facilities with relatively minor construction and equipment changes to increase the capacity to 2.5 mgd. A copy of this evaluation, including a unit by unit evaluation of the WWTP, is included as Exhibit 1 of the attached Environmental Assessment. I I 3 RECOMMENDED ALTERNATIVE I I I 4 ALTERNATIVES CONSIDERED I 1. Do nothing (no action). I I The wastewater plant options have been thoroughly reviewed and analyzed on the basis of environmental impact and cost. The options of no action at the existing wastewater treatment plant are not viable in that the effluent limits cannot be achieved while accommodating imminent growth and sewer service demands, and the Town would be subject to citations and penalties. The following general options for wastewater treatment and disposal were considered in 1993: 2. Optimize operation of the existing wastewater treatment plant and continue to discharge to the Little Creek with initial effluent limits of 10/4/2 and future effluent limits of 5/2/2. The facility averaged 1.35 mgd in 1998, which is approximately 72% of the permitted capacity. The facility averaged 1.32 mgd in calendar year 1999, which approximately 69% of the permitted capacity. The evaluation of the existing treatment units predicts that the effluent limits can be achieved with the existing treatment at the increase of flow to 2.5 mgd with some additional improvements to the facility. Page 5 NPDES Permit Modification for the Town of Clayton Engineering Alternatives Analysis An alternatives analysis for the wastewater treatment options has been considered for the Town of Clayton. The 201 Facilities Plan amended in 1993 by McKim and Creed on behalf of the Town of Clayton addressed several of the options at such time and concluded that the best alternative for the Town was the upgrade and expansion of the existing facility with a discharge to the Neuse River. The wastewater treatment facility was expanded to 1.9 mgd with an additional 0.6 mgd diverted to the Johnston County Wastewater Treatment Plant. Both the Clayton and Johnston County wastewater service areas have seen tremendous growth and are approaching their capacity. Some of the same alternatives have been considered for this WWTP expansion as previously considered in 1993. The most feasible alternative is to continue to divert the east Clayton area flows to the Johnston County wastewater treatment facilities and upgrade the Town of Clayton WWTP to 2.5 mgd for treatment and discharge to the Neuse River, in combination with a reuse project for which the Town has received a grant award and a project to add nutrient removal at the facility. The recommended alternative actually represents a combination of two of the alternatives discussed below and allows the Town to take advantage of projects currently under construction or planned as well as those which have received grant funding. The figures evaluated in order to arrive at this conclusion are included in Appendix B. Detailed design notes are included in Exhibits 4 and 13 of the attached Environmental Assessment. 3. I 4. 5. 6. The following alternatives have been considered for this expansion request: 1.Do nothing (no action). Optimize Treatment at the Existing Facility2. 3. 4. 5. 6.Utilize Nutrient Offset Payments Participate in a Basin Association7. Utilize Nutrient Allocation Trading8. As required by NCDENR-DWQ, all environmentally feasible alternatives for wastewater discharge have been evaluated as a part of the Town of Clayton’s NPDES permit modification application to increase the discharge rate from 1.9 MOD to 2.5 MOD. Modify the existing wastewater treatment plant and convey to a separate site(s) for equalization and disposal by land application. Divert flow as necessary from the east Clayton area to the Central Johnston County Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant, and upgrade and expand the Clayton WWTP to treat the remaining waste stream and discharge to the Neuse River with effluent limits of 10/4/2 and future effluent limits of 5/2/2. Modify the existing wastewater treatment facility for preliminary treatment and flow equalization (only) and discharge into the City of Raleigh wastewater treatment plant. Modify the existing wastewater treatment facility for preliminary treatment and flow equalization (only) and discharge into the Central Johnston county Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (CJCRWWTP).

All of the recommended improvements in the 1993 analysis were completed in 1999. Despite this implementation the WWTP flows are approaching the permitted limit and additional analysis is required for further expansion of the permitted flow for this facility. 9. Optimize Treatment at the Facility with Land Application ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES5 5.1 5.2 I Each of these alternatives has been evaluated with regard to, first, environmental feasibility, and then with regard to capital construction costs. Summaries of the preliminary design, design calculations, and cost estimates are provided for each alternative. The previously mentioned alternatives for wastewater disposal have been analyzed in order to determine to most environmentally feasible and cost-effective solution for the Town’s need to increase its total daily discharge from 1.9 MGD to 2.5 MGD. Page 7 NPDES Permit Modification for the Town of Clayton Engineering Alternatives Analysis In addition as stated in the Nutrient Removal Study and the revised 201 Facilities Plan, additional biological and chemical treatment to reduce nitrogen will be necessary at the existing wastewater treatment facility. The Town of Clayton is proceeding with adding the necessary treatment units to accomplish this. These units include anaerobic/anoxic basins, recycle pump stations, chemical addition from The upgrade project currently under construction does include components necessary optimization. Specifically, through the upgrades to the existing clarifiers and oxidation ditches, these treatment components will also be evaluated for optimal operation and used to achieve the maximum level of nutrient removal possible. (See Exhibit 4 of the attached Environmental Assessment). Optimization of Existing Wastewater Treatment Facility The alternative of optimizing operation of the existing wastewater treatment plant is currently being accomplished. The evidence indicates that the facility will meet current and immediately renewed NPDES permit limits at the proposed design flow capacity of 2.5 MGD. This option continues to divert 600,000 gpd to the CJCRWWTP from the industrial area while continuing to serve the Town of Clayton residential and commercial district and the additional flow from the County residents and commercial enterprises near Cleveland. The flow rating of the WWTP would be increased to 2.5 MGD. The treatment optimization would be used in conjunction with the wastewater reuse project and would require the addition of biological and nutrient removal at the plant. The estimated costs for the upgrade and optimization of the plant combined with the addition of the BNR components are $7,339,500.00, with a present worth valuation of $17,341,970.00. Do Nothing Alternative The first alternative of no action remains an unacceptable option to all parties involved due to the inevitable restrictions on residential, commercial, and industrial growth in the Town’s wastewater service area, and a risk of future NPDES permit renewals with more stringent limits than the current facilities are capable of achieving. As previously stated, the Town of Clayton is within 2-3 years of achieving flow rates, which would result in sewer moratoriums in the area. I I 5.3 5.4 Modification of Existing Wastewater Treatment Facility for Pretreatment/Flow Equalization and Discharge to City of Raleigh WWTP The fourth option involves conversion of the existing Town of Clayton wastewater treatment plant to a pump station and flow equalization facility and construction of a force main to the City of Raleigh Neuse River wastewater treatment plant. Page 8 NPDES Permit Modification for the Town of Clayton Engineering Alternatives Analysis existing caustic, alum, polymer, and chlorine facilities, and supplemental methanol treatment, if necessary. The treatment plant design will be optimized to remove nitrogen and phosphorus. See Exhibit 13 (option 2) of the attached Environmental Assessment for detailed design calculations. It should be noted that the Town has just recently received a grant for the construction of a wastewater reuse project where effluent will be set to the Pine Hollow Golf Course for use as irrigation water. This is a much smaller project than diverting all of the facility flow for reuse but represents a start to establishing such a system. The initial estimates indicate that the implementation of this project will take approximately 0.15 MGD of Clayton’s discharge and divert it to the golf course. The cost estimate for this project based on the Wooten Study is an additional $733,000.00 (present worth valuation of $1,330,519.00); however, additional alternatives must be used in conjunction with this project in order to enable the Little Creek treatment facility to operate at the eventual expanded flow of 2.5 MGD. (See Exhibit 13 of the attached Environmental Assessment for detailed design calculations) Modification of Existing Wastewater Treatment Facility with Utilization of Land Application The third option of land application was evaluated extensively in the original 201 facilities plan. Exhaustive efforts were made to locate adequate disposal sites in the 201 area. Although site characteristics were conducive to the actual disposal design criteria, it was impossible to locate sufficient land area within an approximate 5 mile distance of the Town on even a semi-contiguous basis, i.e., perhaps half the land area in one site and the remainder distributed among two or three separate sites in reasonable proximity. Further, at that time given the flow projections and then anticipated application rates, the amount of land to be located was approximately half of what would be required at this juncture. Accelerated residential development demand pressure has made the land in the Clayton area even more expensive and more difficult to obtain and locate. Therefore, the viability of this option is virtually nil. As an illustrative example land application of wastewater at 1” per acre per week requires approximately 750 acres of wetted area to irrigate the entire amount necessary to eliminate the discharge. Additionally 225 million gallons of storage lagoons would be needed to store wastewater during inclement weather. The recent example of the Town of Gamer land application treatment facility being closed to divert their wastewater to the City of Raleigh system indicates the unattractiveness of this option to an area where residential growth is utilizing desirable land. (See Exhibit 4 of the attached Environmental Assessment for detailed design calculations). The estimated cost for a new land application facility is $17,500,000.00 with a present worth valuation of $23,475,191.00. 5.5 Page 9 NPDES Permit Modification for the Town of Clayton Engineering Alternatives Analysis While the Town currently sends 600,000 gpd to the Central Johnston County Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (CJCRWWTP) from its industrial area, this facility does not have the capacity to accept additional flows from Clayton. Treatment levels at this facility would be the same as those being faced at Clayton’s Little Creek plant. Therefore, Clayton would still need to purchase into the expansion of the CJCRWWTP in much the same level as is needed for its facility. The costs for this option are contained in the Environmental Assessment and are estimated at $5,740,000.00 for only a 600,000 gpd commitment. The Town would still be required to incur the costs to upgrade their 1.9 MGD WWTP to the nutrient removal levels required by 2003. While this is a feasible option, this option is not the best option at this time. It requires more cost to the Town of Clayton, requires more extensive construction impacts for the conveyance system, expansion of the Johnston Modifications at the plant would consist of expanding the influent works and preliminary treatment, and modifying the influent pump station. Conveyance to Raleigh would include approximately nine miles of 16” force main and a metering and chemical addition station. In addition, a one time capital charge payable to the City of Raleigh is required to reserve treatment capacity. Discussions with the City of Raleigh regarding the diversion of Town of Clayton wastewater have proven unsuccessful. In addition the costs of this alternative are higher than the costs of the proposed expansion at the Town of Clayton wastewater treatment facility. This alternative was considered and rejected in the 1993 analysis as well. The estimated capital cost for this option is $7,500,000.00, with a present worth valuation of $15,506,756.00. (See Exhibit 4 in the attached Environmental Assessment for detailed design calculations) In addition, the City of Raleigh has stated that it does not have any capacity in its facility for the Town of Clayton. Documentation of this is included in Appendix C. Modification of Existing Wastewater Treatment Facility for Pretreatment/Flow Equalization and Discharge to Central Johnston County Regional WWTP The fifth alternative is similar to alternative 4 in that the treatment plant would be converted to a pump station and flow equalization facility and raw wastewater would be conveyed to the Central Johnston County Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. Required improvements would include expansion of the influent works and preliminary treatment and modifications to the influent pump station, construction of approximately twelve miles of 16-inch force main and one mile of 30” gravity interceptor sewer and a metering and chemical addition station. The routing would generally follow US Rt. 70 to the Neuse River at Smithfield. The existing Neuse River interceptor sewer has insufficient capacity for this additional flow, which necessitates the parallel new 30” interceptor sewer. In addition the Central Johnston County Treatment Plant would require upgrading and expansion to accommodate the additional flow at more stringent effluent limitations, (5 mg/1 BOD, 2 mg/1 ammonia nitrogen, and 1 mg/1 total phosphorous), that would be occasioned by any request for flow increase. This facility is also experiencing growth and the agreement with the Town of Clayton and Johnston County to trade flow during peak flow periods appears to be the best cooperative arrangement at this time. I 5.6 5.7 Page 10 NPDES Permit Modification for the Town of Clayton Engineering Alternatives Analysis County facilities, and still requires construction at the Town of Clayton WWTP for nutrient removal. The Regional WWTP options appear more attractive in the future should additional growth in the Town of Clayton area require more extensive expansions to the facilities beyond 2.5 MGD. The estimated capital cost for this alternative is $5,740,000.00 (for only a 600,000 gpd capacity commitment), with a present worth valuation of $18,347,654.00. (See Exhibit 4 in the attached Environmental Assessment for detailed design calculations) A Nutrient Removal Study was performed for the Town of Clayton by The Wooten Company and was completed in October 2000. In this study, numerous alternatives were discussed; including the use of the nutrient offset payments. Based on this study, the calculated total nitrogen annual mass permit limit at a flow rate of 2.5 MGD is 26635.87 lb TN/yr. At the nutrient offset payment rate of 200 percent of the cost at $11.00 lb TN/yr, Clayton would need to make a minimum payment in excess of $3,455,000.00 in order to operate the facility at 2.5 MGD with a nitrogen discharge limit of 26635.87 lb TN/yr. (26635.87 - 21,400 = 5235.87 lb TN/yr for 30 years). The present worth value of this alternative is calculated to be $12,214,630.00. Utilize Nutrient Offset Payments The Neuse Rules allow for wastewater dischargers to individually or collectively reduce their respective nitrogen loadings through nutrient offset payments. If a permitted wastewater discharger chooses this option, they are required to have made an offset payment in an amount that is great enough to cover nitrogen reduction for a period of 30 years. In addition, these payments are required to be made prior to a NPDES permit reissuance. While this represents an option, the costs must be weighed against those costs for the addition of a nutrient removal system at the wastewater treatment facility. The primary difference in the level of these costs is that the entire nutrient offset payment must be made at the time of the application for the permit modification, whereas, the costs for the nutrient removal can be spread over a number of years. Therefore, the option of using nutrient offset payments is still one that is feasible; however, the immediate costs would certainly be greater than other options available to the Town. Participate in a Basin Association Under the rules, a group of wastewater dischargers can collectively come together to form an association for the purposes of working jointly to reduce their collective nutrient loadings to the Neuse River. The association members must enter into an agreement with the Division of Water Quality to establish annual loading goals for the totality of the nutrient loading for all members. The Environmental Management Commission must then formally approve the agreement for it to in effect. Each individual discharger that is a member of the association would not be subject to an individual total nitrogen limit but rather the group’s discharges could not exceed the total allocation calculated for the association. Each individual discharge would also have a quarterly total phosphorus limit of 2.0 mg/L. I I 5.8 5.9 I I Clayton is very interested in this option and has consistently expressed its willingness to participate in this kind of alliance with the other wastewater dischargers in the lower Neuse River Basin when the opportunity becomes available. If such an agreement can be reached, the participation in this association would be one of the most feasible options for the Town; however, they are proceeding with all necessary projects under the assumption that this alternative will not be available to them within the time frame during which they will apply for the NPDES permit modifications to increase the plant flow to 2.5 MGD. Page 11 NPDES Permit Modification for the Town of Clayton Engineering Alternatives Analysis Utilize Nutrient Allocation Trading Another option allowed by the Neuse Rules is the trading of nutrient allocations between discharge facilities within the basin. This requires one facility to voluntarily agree to trade some portion of its nutrient allocation to another facility and for the two to enter into an agreement for the long-term commitment of this allocation transfer at an agreed upon rate. Optimize Existing Wastewater Treatment Facility, Construct Land Application System, and Improve Treatment at the Existing Plant for Nutirent Removal The optimization of treatment to limit nutrient loading to the Neuse River is the primary goal of the rules. The other alternatives discussed are used to supplement treatment and to provide a resource for the restoration of wetlands and riparian areas within the basin. If a facility were able to meet the stringent nitrogen limits established, then it would be in compliance with the discharge requirements. Treatment optimization can come through the upgrade of existing facilities by the installation of nutrient removal systems, through the use of land application practices, or through wastewater reuse, to name several alternatives. Each of these can also be used in combination with nutrient offset payments, basin associations, or nutrient trading to achieve the required limits. This alternative represents the most feasible alternative to the Town of Clayton and the one with which they are proceeding because it will allow the use of multiple of projects either already designed or funded, while also accomplishing the necessary nutrient reduction that was required by 2003 for the existing 1.9 MGD WWTP. The current Lower Neuse Basin Association was established in 1994 upon the execution of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) with the DWQ in order to design and implement a water quality monitoring program in the Neuse River. This association, however, has not yet reached an agreement with DWQ with regard to the collective nutrient loadings as has been done in the Tar-Pamlico Basin. While this represents an alternative to the Town of Clayton, it is not one that is realistic given the situation with most all dischargers in the Neuse Basin. Clayton would have to identify an entity with excess allocation, which is willing to trade some portion of it to Clayton in exchange for some unknown rate of payment. This is considered a very unlikely option for the Town. I 6 RECOMMENDATIONS AND CONCLUSIONS I ALTERNATIVE I I The combination of alternatives presented above results in an estimated capital cost of $8,072,500.00, with a present worth valuation of $18,672,489.00.

First, the work to upgrade the existing clarifiers and oxidation ditches is currently underway and is expected to be complete by July 2002. Second, the Town ahs received grant funds to complete the wastewater reuse system to convey treated effluent to the Pine Hollow Golf Course. Finally, the Town has completed an updated 201 Facilities Plan to address the additional upgrades to the facility needed for nutrient removal. In summary, the components To that end, the Town was recently awarded a grant for the purpose of the construction of a wastewater reuse project. It will allow treated effluent to be sent to the Pine Hollow Golf Course, a 150-acre 18-hole public course, for use as irrigation water. Based on initial calculations for an irrigation rate of approximately 150,000 gpd, this reuse component will result in an estimated total nitrogen reduction of 1,351 lb TN/yr. This project is demonstrative of the Town’s aggressive pursuit for all available options to meet the stringent nutrient limits imposed by the Neuse Rules. The estimated cost of this reuse project is $733,000.00. Using this option in concert with the nutrient offset payments could also amount to a savings to the Town of $891,660.00, if those payments were elected as the means of providing for the necessary nitrogen reduction. The preliminary route of the force main to transport the effluent to the Pine Hollow Golf Course follows within existing road rights-of-way and will utilize the golf course’s existing irrigation system. These measures will minimize all impacts associated with the construction of this reuse project. As with any alternatives analysis, the cost of a project is a critical factor in the decision made by a municipality with regard to infrastructure improvements. The same is true for The Town recognizes that it must complete these improvements not only to allow for the growth of the community but also to eliminate any further NPDES discharge violations thereby protecting the environment. These improvements, however, must be done in a manner that allows for the maximum benefit for the Town and the environment at the most reasonable cost. The following table provides a cost comparison of the applicable alternatives included in this analysis: I I I I I I that make up this alternative are largely either already completed or have been earmarked with regard to funding, whether through grant or local funds. Page 13 NPDES Permit Modification for the Town of Clayton Engineering Alternatives Analysis As stated above, cost is a major concern when evaluating all alternatives for an infrastructure project; however, the environmental concerns must also be weighed such that an alternative that would be more beneficial to the environment is not overlooked simply because of its cost. While many of the alternatives discussed with regard to Clayton are normally considered to be environmentally feasible, the primary focus of the environmental feasibility concerns nutrient removal prior to discharge to the Neuse River. The utilization of the alternatives that involve offset payments, trading, etc. do not specifically address the Town’s discharge although they do look holistically at all of the discharges to the Neuse River. Taken separately and apart from the on-going and planned improvements that the Town is or will be making to their facility, these alternatives may be environmentally feasible. The other alternatives discussed are used to supplement treatment and to provide a resource for the restoration of wetlands and riparian areas within the basin. If a facility were able to meet the stringent nitrogen limits established, then it would be in compliance with the discharge requirements. Treatment optimization can come through the upgrade of existing facilities by the installation of nutrient removal systems, through the use of land application practices, or through wastewater reuse, to name several alternatives. Each of these can also be used in combination with nutrient offset payments, basin associations, or nutrient trading to achieve the required limits. However, the chosen alternative, Alternative 9, provides for an approach to utilize land application where feasible as well as making improvements at the Town’s facility to directly reduce the nutrient levels in the effluent. As previously stated, a copy of the Environmental Assessment that was completed for this expansion is included in Appendix A. It should be noted that a Finding of No Significant Impact was determined on January 16, 2002. FINDING OF NO SIGNIFICANT IMPACT I I Environmental Assessment for the Town of Clayton Water Reclamation Facility Upgrade and Expansion Johnston County December 7, 2001 This project will upgrade the existing facility located between SR 1700 and NC 42 in northwest Johnston County. This facility presently discharges into Little Creek near US 70. The project will involve minor modifications to existing structures on site. The upgrades planned for construction on this previously disturbed 10-acre site should disturb less than 1 acre and not involve extensive construction activity. The project also seeks to expand permit limits in order to optimize treatment capacity and make upgrades to pumps, piping and other facility components. Six alternatives were evaluated in this project proposal; (l)No Action, (2) Optimize operation of existing waste water treatment plant, (3) Modify the existing wastewater treatment plant and convey to a separate site for land application, (4) Divert flow as necessary from east Clayton area to the Central Johnston County Regional Plant and upgrade Clayton Plant to treat remaining waste stream and discharge to the Neuse River with effluent limits of 10/4/02 and The Town of Clayton desires this expansion and upgrade to meet current and expected growth demands in the East Clayton industrial area, East Clayton Elementary School, and the interchange area associated with Interstate 40 and NC 42. This service area also includes the Cleveland community. This project does not increase service area for the town of Clayton. It is anticipated that this service area will grow faster than projected growth rates generated in earlier 201 Facility Plans for the Town, thus necessitating this project. An environmental assessment (EA) has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the North Carolina Environmental Policy Act, for the proposed Town of Clayton Water Reclamation Facility and discharge to Little Creek in Johnston County. The Town of Clayton desires to increase their water reclamation facility treatment plant capacity from 1.9 mgd to 2.5 mgd and upgrade facilities at the current plant site. The treated wastewater would continue to be discharged into the Neuse River at the same location. This project has been designed to minimize environmental impacts. As the immediate project impacts will be located on an existing site, there are no prime farmlands or agricultural areas that will be impacted through this project. The service area contains numerous wetland areas and supports a variety of upland and wetland habitats. The surface waters are nutrient sensitive and special regulations are in place to assist in the protection of these resources. The Neuse River basin is also of particular concern because of eutrophication associated with increased nutrients and the accumulation of these nutrients in the lower portion of the basin, therefore special care and consideration is required for projects. Much of the Neuse is classified as WS IV- NSW, however, Little Creek is classified as Class C - NSW. CT9905 Forest Resources11. Shellfish or Fish and Their Habitats12. Wildlife and Natural Vegetation13. I Introduction of Toxic Substances14. MITIGATIVE MEASURESF. I 1 i 12/13/00Page 48HUA I I I Town of Clayton Environmental Assessment for WWTP Expansion i i 4 No forested lands exist at the WWTP site; therefore, will not be any direct or indirect disturbance or change in forested lands as result of this expasion project or its subsequent operation. There are no direct or indirect impacts from the proposed project to any of the Natural Heritage Waters. In addition, there does not appear to be any adverse impacts, direct or indirect, on shellfish, fish and their habitats by the construction of this WWTP expansion project. The construction and operation of the WWTP expansion site will not have direct or indirect impacts on wildlife habitat or natural vegetation. While species of interest of concern may exist in the Neuse River, it is not anticipated that this operation of this expansion project would have any significant negative impact on their habitat. The Division of Water Quality monitoring does not indicate any significant impacts as a result of the Town of Clayton discharge and this relatively small increase in flow will not result in a disproportionate change in impacts. The proposed project will result in minimal adverse environmental impacts, most of which are considered to be insignificant in their effects, as discussed in the previous section. Therefore, only Item 10, Water Resources, will be dealt with in this section. Water Resources Rules were drafted that require all dischargers below the Falls Dam that have a design flow of 0.5 MOD or greater (major dischargers) to meet annual nitrogen loads based on their permitted flow and a concentration of approximately 3.7 mg/1 TN. The current point source rule contains limits of 5.5 mg/1 TN for major dischargers above Falls Dam. A mechanism was also established that allowed the point sources to meet the nitrogen reduction goal collectively. The intent of this rule was to achieve a 30% reduction in Construction and subsequent operation of the expansion project should not result in introduction of toxic substances into the environment, through either direct or indirect means. The continued use of ultra-violet radiation for disinfection and the . continued adherence to the pretreatment program will allow the Town to remain compliant with the toxicity limits in the NPDES permit. CT9905 12/13/00Page 49HUA Town of Clayton Environmental Assessment for { F F i i i Expansion point source loading at the estuary. Currently, point sources are discharging 4.1 million pounds of nitrogen per year to the Neuse River. In order to achieve a 30 percent reduction, dischargers must reduce their nitrogen contribution to 2.8 million pounds per year. This rule equitably allocates the 2.8 million pounds per year between 3 different groups of dischargers within the Neuse basin. The nitrogen is to be allocated to the individual dischargers based upon the ratio of their permitted flow, with each facility s permitted flow established in the rule, to the sum total permitted flow of these discharges below the Falls Lake Dam. Under the proposed Neuse River Rules, dischargers have the option to join a coalition of dischargers to allow implementation of point source controls in a more cost-effective manner throughout the basin. The Town of Clayton currently treats its wastewater to the state of the art for tertiary treated wastewater. The proposed expansion continues to treat the wastewater to tertiary limits. The Town of Clayton will continue to evaluate the operations of the wastewater treatment plant to address nitrogen reduction below 3.5 mg/1 in the effluent. Methods such as biological nutrient removal, chemical treatment and reuse are being evaluated for implementation into the proposed expansion prior to the 2003 NPDES permit deadlines. The Town is also participating with the Upper Neuse Basin Association, and as such, the proposed capacity expansion of the WWTP should be mitigated by the tighter limits required to be met by this plant on its own and in conjunction with its participation in this Association. The Division of Water Quality stormwater rules apply to the 10 largest municipalities and 5 counties within the Neuse River Basin. The rules require DWQ and the local governments to develop a model stormwater management plan that addresses new development, public education, illegal discharges, and identifying sites that could, potentially, be retrofitted with stormwater controls. Local governments have an additional 18 months to develop a local plan that includes the same components as the model plan. The Neuse River Basin Rule also requires the basin’s most heavily populated and fastest growing local governments to take responsibility for managing their stormwater. Under this program, the affected local governments would be required to work cooperatively with DWQ to develop and implement a local stormwater management program to reduce nitrogen by 30 percent. The affected local governments include ten municipalities (Cary, Durham, Gamer, Goldsboro, Havelock, Kinston, New Bern, Raleigh, Smithfield and Wilson) and five counties (Durham, Johnston, Orange, Wake and Wayne). The program must include reviewing new development plans to ensure that they have adequate nitrogen controls, educating the public on how to reduce nitrogen loading from their homes and businesses, and identifying areas suitable for adding vegetated areas, wetlands and other measures for removing nitrogen from urban areas. The Neuse Rule further requires that riparian (Streamside) areas be protected and maintained on both sides of streams, river, lakes and estuaries. A total of 50 feet of riparian area would be required on each side of the waterbody. This 50-foot area would consist of 30 feet of virtually undisturbed forest vegetation and 20 feet of grass, vegetation or trees that could be harvested. CT9905 I I I I I I H. I 12/13/00Page 50HUA G.

STATE AND FEDERAL PERMITS REQUIRED An amendment to the existing NPDES permit issued by the Division of Water Quality will be required to increase the flow from 1.9 mgd to 2.5 mgd and issue new permit limits at the expanded flow. An authorization to construct permit from the Division of Water Quality will be required to re-rate the WWTP to a design capacity of 2.5 mgd Plans and specifications for the minor plant modifications and the recent engineenng evaluation by Appropriate erosion control during construction, and operation within permitted limitations will mitigate any negative impact to water supplies. The Town of Clayton has implemented these rules into their existing zoning requirements and has adopted a Watershed Management Plan and a Strategic Growth Plan, and therefore, any additional nonpoint source impact, such as stormwater runoff, as a result of this expansion project will be effectively mitigated through these measures.
