SECTION 1 - EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
ABSTRACT
The Town of Beulaville has been awarded a $40,000 Capacity Building Grant (Grant Number:
02-63-48) by the North Carolina Rural Economic Development Center, Inc. (Rural Center). The Town
is providing a $5,000 local match, completing financing for a $45,000 total project cost. The project,
as funded by the Rural Center, is to prepare a Capital Improvement Plan to identify and address water
and sanitary sewer needs over a twenty (20) year planning period. Specific activities are summarized as
follows:
1. Water System Improvements
- Long-term water supply alternatives
- Implementation of water conservation programs
- Evaluation of water loss reduction programs
Evaluation of customer rates that will encourage water conservation
Identification of long-term infrastructure needs
2. Sanitary Sewer System Improvements
Identification of future service areas
Identification of long-term wastewater treatment plant improvements
- Identification of areas most in need of inflow/infiltration analysis
- Investigation of the benefit and feasibility of wastewater reuse improvements.
Evaluation of water and sanitary sewer infrastructure needs is viewed as a critical step in initiating
planning to insure that sufficient capacity exists to promote residential and commercial growth. Beginning
infrastructure planning as soon as possible will aid the Town in establishing economic and growth goals.
INTRODUCTION
Water system improvement activities stipulated in the Rural Center grant agreement represent an
effort to aid the Town in complying with Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area (CCPCUA) rules
adopted by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water
Resources. Effective in August 2002, CCPCUA rules are designed to protect certain cretaceous aquifers
(Upper Cape Fear, Lower Cape Fear and Black Creek). The CCPCUA consists of fifteen(15) counties.
CCPCUA rules define reduction zones where impacted municipal water systems must reduce groundwater
withdrawals from designated cretaceous aquifers. The Town of Beulaville is located in eastern Duplin
County and is located in a designated "declining water zone." Municipal water systems that withdraw
in excess of 100,000 gallons per day within a "declining water zone" must reduce withdrawals from
designated cretaceous aquifers by thirty percent (but not less than 100,001 gpd) by the year 2018.
Reductions shall be achieved in three(3)ten percent(10%) increments for the years 2008, 2013 and 2018
period. Key components to the CCPCUA rules include the following activities:
1. Pump intakes in groundwater supply wells must be raised above the upper-most confined
aquifer.
2. Withdrawals from designated cretaceous aquifers for wells located in a "declining water
level" zone must be reduced by thirty percent (but not less than 100,001 gpd) of the
D405RBM04 4 8:49am
BEULAVILLE-04-CEP-NARRATIVE.TXT;14 040527

"approved base rate" by the year 2018. The "approved base rate" is identified by a
water supplier in its CCPCUA application for permit and is reviewed and approved by
the Division of Water Resources as a part of the permitting process. In general, the
"approved base rate" is the larger of an applicant's annual usage for either calendar year
1997 or the period August 1, 1999 through July 31, 2000.
3. All supply wells that withdraw more than 10,000 gpd must be registered with the Division
of Water Resources.
4. Municipal water systems must implement water conservation measures to include, but
not limited to water conservation ordinances, leak detection programs, adoption of
conservation-based rate schedules for billing, plumbing retrofit programs and public
education.
Sanitary sewer improvement activities described in the Rural Center agreement represent a critical
need due to a current moratorium imposed on the Town by the Division of Water Quality which restricts
new customer connections to the Town's sewer system. Beulaville's existing wastewater treatment plant
was constructed in 1999-2000 with a permitted treatment capacity of 260,000 gpd. Average daily sewer
flow for the calendar year 2003 was 304,000 gpd. Potable water sales during this same period amounted
to approximately 100,000 gpd. Based on the discrepancy between water sales and sewer flow, it may
be assumed that inflow/infiltration represents two-thirds of average daily sewer flow.
STUDY METHODS
The Rural Center sponsored the preparation of a "Water Resource Study" in 2002 that evaluated
the impact of CCPCUA rules on municipal water systems based on 1997 Local Water Supply Plan data.
The report projected water supply deficits and identified alternative water supply sources available to
impacted water systems. The recommendations of the "Water Resource Study" for the Town of
Beulaville are discussed in this report relative to consideration of long-term water supply alternatives.
Municipal water systems located within the CCPCUA are required to submit an "Application for
WaterArea"
Use Permit
Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use to the Division of Water Resources.
This application identifies all existing supply wells, establishes a proposed base rate for computing future
groundwater withdrawal reductions, and provides a worksheet that projects water supply surpluses or
deficits to include consideration of mandatory reductions. The Division of Water Resources is responsible
for issuing permits to all applicants. Beulaville had not received a permit at the time of this report. Data
provided in the Town's application is used to determine long-term water supply needs.
Beulaville performed a comprehensive infiltration/inflow study in 2002 through a grant received
from the Rural Center. The study included a complete inventory of existing sanitary sewer system assets
and summarized results from video inspection of sanitary sewer collection piping. This study serves as
a valuable reference tool to specifically identify inflow/infiltration sources.
CONCLUSIONS
Beulaville presently operates four (4) supply wells that serve its existing water system. Of the
existing wells, three (3) withdraw exclusively from the Peedee aquifer and one (1) withdraws from both
the Black Creek and Peedee aquifers. The Peedee is not subject to the mandatory reductions specified
in the CCPCUA rules. The Black Creek aquifer is a cretaceous aquifer subject to CCPCUA rules and
its mandatory reduction provisions. Beulaville's well located in the Black Creek and Peedee aquifers is
D405RBM04 5 8:49am
BEULAVILLE-04-CIP-NARRATIVE.TXT•14
040527

subject to future withdrawal reductions. The following table extracts data from Beulaville's "Application
for Water Use Permit in the Central Coastal Plain Capacity Use Area" regarding projected water supply
and demand.

2. 2020 Projected Supply based on 12 hour pump capacity of wells withdrawing exclusively from
Peedee aquifer and 30% reduction from the proposed 148,167 base rate for wells withdrawing
from the Black Creek and Peedee aquifers.
Beulaville's projected water demand in 2020 is 199,000 gallons per day, providing the Town a projected
water supply surplus of 388,717 gallons per day. The projected water surplus postures the Town to
potentially sell water to adjacent municipal systems that may need alternative water supply sources.
Sanitary sewer infrastructure deficiencies represent the greatest need currently facing the Town.
The existing moratorium on new customer connections prevents the Town from any residential or
commercial growth. The dilapidated condition of existing sewer collection system assets as evidenced
through the Town's 2002 infiltration/inflow study represents a significant problem. The Town is
aggressively pursuing funding to help eliminate infiltration/inflow problems. In addition to
infiltration/inflow efforts, the Town is currently working with the Division of Water Quality to increase
the permitted capacity of its wastewater treatment plant.

SECTION 2 - GOAL STATEMENT
The Town of Beulaville has made significant investments in recent years to improve water system
facilities, construct a new wastewater treatment plant and evaluate existing sanitary sewer collection
system assets. The goal of this Capital Improvement Plan is to compile the results of previous reports
and studies into a single document that can serve as a resource tool to the Town. The Capital
Improvement Plan evaluates the 20 year needs of existing water and sanitary sewer system facilities,
provides a composite map of existing water and sanitary sewer assets, and prioritizes infrastructure needs.
The Capital Improvement Plan supports Beulaville's goals of maintaining a quality level of service and
providing capacity to accommodate expanded service area needs.

SECTION 3 - DESCRIPTION OF PROJECT AREA
3.1 DEMOGRAPHICS
The Town of Beulaville is located in eastern Duplin County centered around the intersection of
NC Highway 24 and NC Highway 41. Beulaville is representative of most small municipalities in eastern
North Carolina, characterized by a relatively high poverty rate (18.9%) and low median household
income ($32,059 based upon Year 2000 census data). Population growth within Beulaville may be
projected using Duplin County statistics available from the North Carolina Office of State Planning(web
site address: http://www.ospl.state.nc.us). The following table projects population within Beulaville
through the Year 2030:
TABLE 2
POPULATION PROJECTION DATA
POPULATION PROJECTIONS
Year Duplin CountyBeulaville
P
2000 49,063 1,067
2010 59,294 1,289
2020 70,251 1,527
2030 82,205 1,787
Growth statistics do not account for Beulaville's current sanitary sewer moratorium nor any
unforseen manufacturing job loss. Beulaville's largest local employer is a textile company. The textile
industry in North Carolina has experienced significant job losses as many facilities have relocated to other
states or other countries. Any job force reductions from the local textile facility will significantly impact
growth (economic and residential) within Town.
3.2 LAND AREA CONFIGURATIONS
3.2.1 Topography
Beulaville is located on Wicomico Terrace, which is relatively flat and is the largest of
terrace plains within Duplin County. Land elevation ranges between 50-100 feet above sea level.
Land slopes exist between 0-5% except along stream banks. Higher elevations exist
predominantly in the northwest portion of the Wicomico Terrace and gradually decline in a
southeastern direction to a point where the Wicomico Terrace joins the Chowan Terrace.
3.2.2 Hydrography
Beulaville is located in the Cape Fear River Basin. The Cape Fear River Basin
is North Carolina's largest river basin, beginning at the primary outlet located near the City of
Wilmington and ending near the City of Greensboro located in the central part of the state.
Specific to Beulaville, the Northeast Cape Fear River and several tributaries represent the primary
surface water resources present in close proximity to Town. Existing surface water resources
D405R13M04 8 8:49am
BELLAVILLE-04-CIP-NARRATIVE.TXT;14 040527

serve primarily as drainage outlets and as habitat for local animal/plant species. No surface
waters in close proximity to Beulaville are presently used for navigational or commercial
purposes.
3.2.3 General Soil Types
Beulaville lies entirely within the Coastal Plain physiographic province of eastern
North Carolina. Soils may generally be described as somewhat poorly-drained with sandy loam
surface materials and friable to firm sandy loam to sandy clay loam subsoils. Soils may be
classified into one of the following associations:
1. Goldsboro-Norfolk: This association accounts for 5% of the Town's land area. The
texture of the subsoil ranges from sandy loam to fine sandy clay loam. Permeability is
moderate and is typically well-drained. This soil group is well-suited for agricultural
activities and building activities.
2. Klej: This association accounts for 35% of the land area. The texture is typically a
loamy fine sand and has rapid internal drainage that is often blocked by a high water
table. Much of this soil type within Duplin County is in agricultural production.
3. Fallington-Rains-Lynchburg: This association accounts for 45% of the land area.
Texture ranges from fine sandy loam to fine sandy clay loam. Natural drainage is poor
and internal drainage is slow. These soil types may be suitable for agricultural use with
the implementation of artificial drainage.
4. Woodston: This association accounts for approximately 15% of the Town's area. This
soil is typically strongly acidic with medium to rapid internal drainage. This soil is
considered to be moderately well drained and is typically found in agriculture production.

SECTION 5 - SANITARY SEWER SYSTEM FACILITIES
5.1 GENERAL STATUS
The Town of Beulaville's sanitary sewer system consists of approximately 72,000 feet of
collection piping ranging in sizes from 4" - 12", 297 manholes, five (5) pump stations and a wastewater
treatment facility. The following paragraphs summarize current status of sanitary sewer system
components. Reference the Appendix for a map exhibit showing an inventory of existing infrastructure
assets.
5.1.1 Sewer Collection System
The Town's original collection system was constructed in 1963 and consisted of
approximately 44,000 LF of asbestos cement piping. An additional 8,000 LF of asbestos cement
piping was installed between 1967-1973. Construction projects in the 1980's and 1990's installed
PVC and PVC Truss piping. The following table summarizes an inventory of collection system
assets.

5.1.2 Sewage Pump Stations
The Town presently operates five (5) sewage pump stations. The following paragraphs
summarize the status of existing facilities. Representative photographs of all wastewater pump
stations are included as exhibits in the Appendix.
5.1.2.1 Pump Station No. 1 - West Church Street
This pump station consists of duplex end suction above-ground pumps housed in
a block building. The force main from the primp station discharges to a manhole located
approximately 30 feet from the pump station in the intersection of West Church Street
and Hallsville Road.
5.1.2.2 Pump Station No. 2 - Evans Street
This pump station consists of duplex submersible pumps housed in a pre-cast
concrete wet well enclosed in a fenced area. The force main from the pump station
discharges to a manhole located north of the pump station at the intersection of Evans
Street and Robertson Street.
5.1.2.3 Pump Station No. 3 - East Bostic Street
This pump station consists of duplex end suction above-ground pumps housed in
t a brick sump accessed through an access door in the metal roof. The force main from
the pump station discharges to a manhole located approximately 40 feet west of the pump
station at the intersection of East Bostic Street and North Kennedy Road.
tJ
4 �C"c L
5.1.2.4 Pump Station No. 4 - Meadow Crossing Subdivision
This pump station consists of duplex submersible pumps housed in a precast
concrete wet well adjacent to Pine Street. The force main from the pump station
discharges to a manhole located in the right-of-way of North Railroad Avenue south of
the intersection of North Railroad Avenue and Pine Street.
5.1.2.5 Pump Station No. 5 - Brown Road
This pump station consists of duplex submersible pumps housed in a precast
concrete wet well enclosed in a fenced area. The force main from Pump Station 5
discharges southwest along N. NC 41.
5.1.3 Wastewater Treatment Plant
Beulaville's existing wastewater treatment plant was constructed in 1999-2000. The new
facility operates under NPDES Permit NC 0026018. Permitted discharge is presently 260,000
gallons per day into Persimmon Branch. The Town is presently working with the Division of
Water Quality in an effort to increase permitted plant capacity to 360,000 gallons per day.
Incoming wastewater to the wastewater treatment plant passes through a mechanical bar
screen to a tri-plex submersible pump station. The station pumps incoming wastewater to a flow

BEULAVILLE-04-CIP-NARRATIVE.TXT;14 040527

splitter box which directs up to 360 gpm to dual aeration fine bubbler type treatment units. Flow
in excess of 360 gpm is routed to a lagoon which acts as a flow equalization facility. Dual
secondary clarifiers follow the fine bubbler. units. Dual sand filters follow the clarifiers.
Disinfection via ultraviolet lamps is provided prior to post aeration and discharge to Persimmon
Branch. Sludge is aerobically digested with final disposal via land application.
Average wastewater flow during calendar Year 2003 was 304,000 gallons per day. This
violation of the Town's NPDES permit has resulted in a moratorium for additional/new service
connections to the sewer system.
5.2 EXISTING CAPACITY
Beulaville's existing wastewater treatment facility and sanitary sewer system are easily capable
of handling flows expected to result from its average water usage of 140,000 gal/day. Infiltration/inflow
is contributing to sewer flows exceeding the present permitted capacity of the Town's wastewater
treatment plant. The present moratorium on future service connections assigned by the Division of Water
Quality represents the greatest problem presently facing the Town.
5.3 PRESENT CONDITION
5.3.1 Sewer Collection System
•
An infiltration/inflow study prepared in July 2002 provided a comprehensive evaluation
of existing sewer collection system assets. A physical inventory of all manholes and pump
stations was performed along with video inspection of sewer collection lines. Specific sources
of infiltration/inflow were identified and recommended corrective actions summarized. A copy
of the narrative portion of the July 2002 study is included as an exhibit in the Appendix.
5.3.2 Sewage Pump Station
The Town's sewage pump stations are properly maintained and kept in good operating
condition. The following is a listing of recommendations for consideration to be implemented
at existing pump stations:
5.3.2.1 Alternative Power Source
Existing pump stations do not have a fixed secondary power source. Location
of pump stations is such that it is impractical to place backup generators at each location.
It is recommended that controls at each pump station be retrofitted to accommodate a
manual transfer system. Two (2) portable generators may be purchased which can be
used for alternative power for all pump stations during electrical outages.
5.3.2.2 Annual Washing
As can be seen in photographs located in the Appendix, pump station wet wells
contain large amounts of grease and debris. If not removed, grease and debris can
damage pumps. clog pipes and/or cause controls to malfunction. An annual program of
jet washing and cleaning wet wells will improve performance and increase longevity of
pump operation.
D405RBM04 19 8:49am
BEULAVILL.E-04-CLP-NARR-ATNE.TXT;14 040527

5.3.2.3 Grease Control
The large volume of grease present in existing wet wells indicates a problem
exists throughout the Town's collection system. Grease is typically discharged by
residences/businesses at high temperatures. Once in contact with lower temperatures,
grease will solidify causing blockages in sewer mains, Grease blockages can result in
sewer overflows at manholes. It is recommended that the Town enforce its sewer use
ordinance with regard to non-domestic sewer flows, require all businesses and schools
to install and maintain grease traps (where needed) and consider implementation of
ordinances establishing fines for customers who improperly discharge grease into the
sewer system.
5.3.3 Wastewater Treatment Plant
The Town's current wastewater treatment plant(WWTP)was constructed in 1999-2000.
The current WWTP replaced an older lagoon system, providing better treatment and higher
quality wastewater effluent. The existing permitted capacity of the WWTP (260,000 gpd) is
inadequate to serve current average daily sewer flows. Violation of the permitted flow limit has
resulted in a moratorium prohibiting further service connections until compliance with the Town's
NPDES permit is achieved. The Town is currently pursuing increasing the permitted capacity
of the WWTP. Reducing sewer flows by implementing recommendations of the Town's July
2002 Infiltration/Inflow study represents additional effort that may achieve NPDES permit
compliance.
5.4 PREVIOUSLY COMPLETED REVIEWS
5.4.1 February 1995 Preliminary Engineering Report for Wastewater Treatment Improvements
The firm of Hobbs, Upchurch & Associates, P.A. prepared a Preliminary Engineering
Report(PER) supporting a USDA-Rural Development application for funding to build the current
wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). The PER summarizes components to the WWTP and
establishes project costs and projected impact of loan financing on the Town's water and sewer
rates.
5.4.2 July 2002 Infiltration/Inflow Study
The Infiltration/Inflow Study provided a detail inventory of existing sanitary sewer system
assets and compared sewer flows to water sales. A comparison of sewer flows versus water use
confirmed the existence of infiltration/inflow. Video inspection of the collection system was
performed to identify specific sources of infiltration/inflow. The study included short-term
actions to correct the most significant infiltration/inflow sources and identified recommended
annual investment to insure long-term minimizing of infiltration/inflow. A copy of the narrative
of the study is included as an exhibit in the Appendix.
5.5 LONG-TERM POTENTIAL ALTERNATIVES
5.5.1 Future Service Area
The Town's top priority for wastewater improvements is infiltration/inflow reduction
and/or WWTP permit modification (increasing capacity). Only in reducing flow and/or
D405RBM04 20 8:49am
BEULAVfl LE-04-CIP-NARRATIVE.TXT;14 040527

•
increasing permitted capacity can the current moratorium on additional serv' e connections be
lifted by the Division of Water Quality.
Assuming that the existing moratorium is lifted, the Town's best oppo 'ty for service
area expansion is along NC 24. Reference the map exhibit in the Appendix, uch undeveloped
land exists west of Town adjacent to NC 24. DocnmPntation of interest in indu trial development
along NC 24 exists as the Town has previously sought North Carolina Dep nt of Commerce
financial assistance to extend sewer service. It is a general consensus that deve opulent will occur
west of Town in time. The Town needs to continue to be aware of the potenti for development
and be prepared to extend service when it is needed.
5.5.2 Long-Term Wastewater Treatment Improvements
The recent construction of the current WWTP has resulted in a high evel of treatment.
The only current deficiency is a lack of rated capacity. Reference Tabl 5 (Section 4.5),
projected average daily water demand in the Year 2020 is 0.233 MGD. The ermitted capacity
of the current WWTP (0.260 MGD) is adequate to meet long-term pr 'ections provided
infiltration/inflow is reduced (or eliminated). Current efforts by the To to expand the
permitted capacity of the WWTP will increase the ability to meet long-term eeds.
5.5.3 Infiltration/Inflow Reduction
Based on the previous Infiltration/Inflow Study, non-sewer flow is stimated to be in
excess of 100,000 gpd, or approximately equal to average daily water use. The study
recommended several short-term improvements to correct significant proble sources. Video
inspection confirmed that existing asbestos cement collection piping installed prior to 1980 is most
susceptible to infiltration/inflow due to cracks, root intrusion, offset joints, improper service
connections. etc. The best long-term solution to eliminating infiltration/inflow is to
replace/rehabilitate pre-1980 asbestos cement collection piping. With over 51,000 LF to
replace/rehabilitate, estimated cost exceeds $2.7 million. The Town is aggressively pursuing
grant opportunities and is in the process of replacing approximately 1,000 LF. The Town
submitted a supplemental grant application to the North Carolina Rural Economic Development
Center, Inc. in March 2004 to replace an additional 3,600 LF at an estimated cost of$445,000.
Recognizing that the availability of funds is the limiting factor in performi g comprehensive
replacement/rehabilitation and with a current high average monthly sew bill, addressing
infiltration/inflow will require a commitment by the Town to annual inves ents over many
years.
5.5.4 Wastewater Reuse Feasibility
Beulaville's WWTP produces effluent of reuse quality. Use of effluent for non-domestic
water needs such as irrigation or manufacturing is technically feasible. The Town's location in
an area where groundwater levels are declining makes consideration of reuse an attractive method
of reducing water system demands.
A first step in evaluating the potential for implementation of reuse is to identify
prospective beneficiaries. The Town presently has a relatively small customer base where
average daily residential water demand is approximately 134 gallons per day per customer. This
low daily demand indicates that very little water is presently used for non-domestic needs The
Town's largest commercial water customers are local restaurants, an elementary school and a
D405RBM04 21 8:49am
BEULAVILLE-04-CEP-NARRATIVE.TXT;14 040527

•
textile manufacturing facility. Each commercial water user's demands.are primarily for domestic
needs and fire protection. There is presently no demand for a significant volume of water for
non-domestic needs.
With little demand for water to be used for non-domestic needs, there is no need to
attempt implement a wastewater reuse program at this time. The ability to provide reuse quality
effluent is a marketable tool that can hopefully be a benefit in the future to encourage future
industrial recruitment.

SECTION 6 - OPERATION BUDGET ANALYSIS
Beulaville operates its water and sanitary sewer systems through a separate enterprise fund.
Monthly billing (customer utility bills) represents the primary source of revenue. Evaluation of the
Town's operation budget is important as water and sewer revenues represent the primary source of funds
to finance long-term infrastructure improvements. Generating additional revenue through rate increases
is limited by the ability of customers to afford monthly charges.
Table 7 projects annual water and sewer revenues. Beulaville's current average residential
monthly water and sewer rates are$13.06 and$20.02, respectively,based on an average residential water
usage of 4,095 gal/month. A benchmark for determining if rates are excessive is a formula established
by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR). NCDENR
computes a rate threshold designated as "high unit cost" based on 1.5% of median household income.
Beulaville's median household income based on the Year 2000 census is $32,059. Based on NCDENR
guidelines, Beulaville's combined water and sewer high unit cost monthly rate threshold is $40.07. The
Town's current combined monthly rate of$33.08 indicates the Town has the ability
Y to increase rates to
finance future improvements. The Town must maintain its water and sewer rates above the "high unit
g
cost" threshold to be eligible for future Clean Water grant appropriations.
Table 8 depicts the Town's current operating budget for its water and sewer enterprise fund.
Projections of the Town's budget through the Year 2020 are shown based on an annual 2.5% increase
in operating expense line items. Final rows in the table summarize the needed increase in customers or
percentage increase in combined monthly water and sewer bills (above current figures) to balance the
budget.
Reference Table 8, the Town's current adopted budget is balanced by using $149,500 of retained
earnings. Retained earnings do not represent a continuous annual revenue source. Budget projections
in Table 8 eliminate continued reliance on retained earnings as a revenue line item. This has an
immediate impact on the budget. Without reducing any expense line items, the $149,500 represents an
average of approximatly 45% per month per customer rate increase. By adjusting other line items, the
2004-2005 recommended rate increase to balance the budget is 40% which will increase the average
residential users rates from $33.08 to $46.31. Previous recommendations encourage the allocation of
funds each year to be used to perform infrastructure improvements. The Town's current water and sewer
rates and operation budget includes approximately $70,000 for funding capital improvements. The
proposed future budgets include similar amounts of which approximately $50,000/year is recommended
to be designated for UI reduction improvements. Annual appropriations can be used for ongoing I/I
improvements or be placed in a capital reserve to finance larger projects every other year, every several
years and/or used as matching funds for grants.

TOWN OF BEULAVILLE
SANITARY SEWER OVERFLOW (SSO)
RESPONSE PLAN
TOWN OF BEULAVILLE
Earl Sanderson,Public Works Director
SAterrt Quinn, Collection System Operator
Stanley Miller, Back-up Operator

Purpose
The purpose of this document is to protect the citizens of Beulaville, North Carolina and
the environment by establishing procedures for responding to sanitary sewer overflows
(SSO). This policy applies to all Town of Beulaville employees that in the course of their
work may deal with a potential or active SSO. These procedures will be reviewed annually,
or whenever revised guidelines from county, state, or federal authorities dictate a revision
is necessary.
SSO's endanger the environment and potentially the health of citizens, or employees that come
in contact with an SSO. An SSO can result in significant penalties from State and Federal
environmental regulatory agencies as well.
Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) Response Procedures

(NCDENR-DWQ). This requirement applies in the following cases:
3

• Any spill of 1,000 gallons or more; and
• Any spill, regardless of the volume, if any wastewater reaches the surface waters
of the State. Please note that all conveyances such as ditches and storm sewers are
considered waters of the State.
• The ORC is required to provide an oral report regarding reportable spills to the

following the spill event.
• Additionally, if a spill occurs after business hours, the spill must be reported
during the next working day. After working hours (Monday to Friday, 8AM to

office may assist Beulaville in contacting the appropriate DWQ staff
Containment Procedures
1. As soon as the employee arrives at the site of the SSO, the first priority will be to contain
the spill, as not to allow it to reach surface waters. If there is no danger of the SSO
reaching surface waters, contain the SSO to as small of an area as possible.
2. The second priority shall be to mark off the SSO area to prevent any unauthorized
persons from entering the contaminated area. This includes the banks of all surface
waters that the SSO has reached.
3. Containment shall be accomplished in any number of ways, including but not limited to
the construction of ditches, ponds, or dams. The wastewater collected in these
containment areas shall be pumped back into the sewer system or transported to the
WWTP or other appropriate location permitted to receive sewer.
4. Trash pumps capable of handling the flow of the SSO are to be placed at the overflow
and wastewater pumped into the next manhole until the spill is corrected.
Corrective Action Procedures
1. As soon as the SSO has been contained and bypass pumping is in place, correct the cause
of the SSO. In the event of a lift station failure, take necessary steps to contain and stop
the overflow, including bypass measures, in order to make necessary repairs. In case of a
sewer blockage, eliminate the blockage resulting in the overflowing manhole.
2. Utilizing the Town's equipment and any outside contractors (if required), the Public
Works Department will eliminate the SSO in a safe and expeditious manner.

Cleanup Procedures
All Overflows
1. Remove all paper,plastic or any other non-decomposing material from the site. All
material shall be bagged in a clearly marked container and transported to the WWTP for
disposal.
Overflows Occurring on Private Property
1. Till the area whenever possible and apply lime, seed, and mulch.
2. If the area cannot be tilled, apply lime and two inches of topsoil. Mix thoroughly, lime
again lightly seed and apply mulch.
Paved Areas
1. Designate and set up containment area at or near the storm drainage system, ditch or
catch basin. Do not let spillage enter storm drainage system, under any circumstances.
2. Clearly mark the SSO affected area with warning tape to keep unauthorized persons out
of the containment area.
3. Apply lime on spillage, and then spread sand(or equivalent) to a depth of 1 inch over the
lime. Let stand for one (1) hour and sweep up. If moisture or grease is still present, repeat
procedure.
4. After removing the contaminated material, wash down area with high-pressure water and
bleach. Pump this liquid back into the sewer system and transport the wet sand materials
to the WWTP or other appropriate areas for disposal. Ensure water sources from hydrants
are protected from potential backflows with backflow prevention devices or air gaps.
5. If the spill enters into the storm drainage system, refer to the following stream procedure.
Ditches or Outfalls
1. Place warning tape around the entire SSO site.
2. In open areas, lime heavily and till the soil. Repeat, then seed and mulch.
3. In an area where there is undergrowth or small trees, wash area with large amounts of
water towards the designated containment site. Wait twelve (12) to twenty-four(24)
hours, and then lime area heavily. Do not lime when rainfall is predicted.
