Please let this memorandum serve as explanation for the reporting methodology typically included on the
Flow Tracking/Acceptance for Sewer Extension Applications (FTSE 04-16) form required lor permitting
by the Division of Water Resources for new wastewater flow added to the Town's system.
If any additional information is needed, please contact me at 919-553-5002 or email me at
[e-mail].
Richard D. Cappola Jr., PE
& Utilities Director
The Town of Clayton operates Little Creek Water Reclamation Facility (LCWRF), which is currently
permitted at 2.50 MOD of treatment capacity (DEQ Pennit #0025453). In addition to this flow, the Town
currently owns 1.34 MGD in Johnston County's Wastewater Treatment Facility (JCWWTF -
NC0030716), as well as leases 1.00 MGD of capacity at the City of Raleigh Public Utilities (CORPUD)
for a total treatment capacity of 4.84 MGD.
The Town's collection system contains a series of Pump Stations (PSs) that facilitate the transfer of
portions of our service area to different locations for final treatment as needed to meet demands of new
approved connections. There is a PS named "ECIA PS that is capable of sending flows to either
LCWRF or JCWWTF, and a PS named "Clayton-Raleigh" that is inter-connected with another PS named
"Neuse 2” on that site which allows for flow to be sent to LCWRF or CORPUD. Based on the potential to
send flows to either facility, the Town has utilized this methodology for reporting.

It should be noted that the Town is in the pre-planning stages of constructing a new WRF at the site where
the Clayton-Raleigh PS is currently to meet the future needs of the Town and provide treatment within
our system by the year 2027 when the current CORPUD agreement sunsets.

The exceedance was directly related to local flash flooding in the area due to rainfall. The resulting inflow into the
system boosted the influent flow to > 6 mgd for several hours. This surging resulted in some solids carry over from
the clarifiers and dictated the need for us to cycle aerators on and off to dampen the effects of the surge
conditions. The sample of the effluent BOD collected on the April the 9th was 19 mg/l and the sample collected on
April Hth was 3 mg/l.
The Town is currently has budgeted and is executing an outfall replacement project along Little Creek. The
replacement project should have a positive effect on influent inflow and infiltration into the facility. The Town has
also placed an l/l study in the Capital Project Plan for execution.

Additional information was requested on December 11, 2018 and provided.
The facility is currently permitted to discharge up to 2.5 MGD. The Town also has contracts with
the City of Raleigh and Johnston County to send 1 and 1.34 MGDs (respectively) to their facilities.
The facility's 2017-2018 Wastewater Annual Report was available for review and is on Clayton's

LINDA CULPEPPER
Director
On June 3, 2019, Jason Robinson of the NC Division of Water Resource's Raleigh Regional Office (RRO)
conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the Town of Clayton's Wastewater Collection System.
The time and assistance of Clayton staff James Warren (Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) and Bill
Simpson (Backup Operator in Responsible Charge (bORC) and Laboratory Supervisor) was appreciated.
The Division's Basinwide Information Management System (BIMS) report is attached. Below is a list of
finding and recommendations developed from this inspection:
**This inspection report is for an inspection that was done on June 3, 2019. An inspection report was
drafted, but based on a recent database review, it was never sent to the Town of Clayton, and is
therefore being sent on November 21, 2019.**
2. The county plans to construct a new wastewater treatment plant that will replace this plant with
an approximate operation start date of late 2023 or 2024.
3. The plant is classified as a WW-4 wastewater facility. The ORC (James Warren) and bORC (William
Simpson) are both WW-4 operators. bORCs David Atkinson and Salvador Valdiviezo are WW-3
operators. Detailed daily operation log books are kept on -site and are kept at least five years.
