Attachment to NPDES permit renewal KMTP February 28, 2018
Treatment plant description Section 9.
Two 900 gal oil/grease traps - (Request removal from listing- see below)
One splitter box for flow diversion with bar screen
One 7,500 gal aeration basin with integral bar screen, two positive
displacement blowers, clarifier with RAS and skimmer piping, contact chamber
One 10,000 gal aeration basin with integral bar screen, two positive
displacement blowers, clarifier with RAS and skimmer piping, contact chamber
One 900 gal chlorine contact chamber-with tablet feeders for disinfection and
de-chlorination
One 900 gal aerobic digester- a septic tank of concrete construction
One 900 gal holding tank- a septic tank of concrete construction
One Flow measuring system comprised of a 22-1/2 degree v-notch weir and a
Stevens Total Flow Meter with totalizer and chart recorder
The oil/grease traps are septic tanks of concrete construction. They are part of the
original construction and are now approximately 40 years old. On the last pumping of
the contents, leaks were discovered in the horizontal seams of the tanks underground.
The operators found that the typical anaerobic conditions in the septic tanks led to
excessive ammonia passed to the aerobic systems without sufficient BOD to allow
proper growth of activated sludge for good treatment. These units are currently by-
passed. It is requested that their removal from the treatment train be considered.
Additional data will be provided if required.
The aeration basins and clarifiers are of steel construction and are a typical package
plant design. The contact chambers listed were originally disinfection tanks with no
means of de-chlorination and were replaced at some time in the past with the newer
900 gal chamber. These contact chambers are no longer used for chlorination.

c �
The 900 gal aerobic digester has an air line from one of the aeration basins. Wasted
sludge is manually pumped to this unit as required. This unit was infrequently used
in the past.
Estimate of removal for the parameter are:
BOD 90 to 95%
Nitrogen 40 to 60%
TSS 90 to 95%
The adjustment of pH for the aeration basins is through manual addition of soda ash
or lime. The disinfection tablets are sodium hypochlorite and a sulfide for de-
chlorination.
Waste sludge from the treatment plant and contents of the septic tanks has been
handled through periodic pumping and removal by Wesson Septic Tank Service with
disposal at the Cliffside Sanitary District in Rutherford County.
Outfall 002 for this permit has stormwater treatment from the runoff area at the diesel
dispensers via an oil/water separator. The oil/water separator is approximately 95 to
98% effective in removal of oil/grease and TSS.
The City of Kings Mountain has conducted discussions with Malik's International Inc.
(Kings Mountain Travel Plaza) for a lift station to connect to the existing City system
but the cost appears to be prohibitive for this alternative. The City is considering
building additional facilities in the area and taking on the flow from this plant.
Additional information will become available during the period of review.
