Subject: City of Salisbury Revised Long Term Monitoring Plan
Dear Mr. Hassan:
The City of Salisbury is submitting a revised Long Term Monitoring Plan(LTMP)with the
following revision:
• The Nitrite-Nitrate detection limit was changed from 0.05 mg/L to 0.3 mg/L
Please contact me at(704) 216-7539 if you have any questions regarding Salisbury's LTMP.
Sincerely,
Sonja Basinger
Environmental Services Manager

Long Term Monitoring Plan
Revised May 1, 2018
Sampling Points and Frequencies:
Salisbury has a unique situation in that we have two Treatment Trains at two separate physical locations
that the SIU's discharge into. The chlorinated effluent from the Town Creek Treatment Train(TE)is
combined with the Grant Creek Treatment Train chlorinated effluent(GE). The combined chlorinated
effluents(YE)join together on the Grant Creek property are dechlorinated,then flow through cascade
aeration,and then discharge into the Yadkin River.Although not permitted as separate WWTPs, Town
Creek and Grant Creek Treatment Trains will be treated as separate WWTPs in the LTMP with data from
both sites used to determine pollutant removal efficiencies and plant inhibition thresholds.
All Sills and Locals are monitored per IU Permit requirements and all POC's once per year. The City
uses a Yearly Monitoring Plan. The Plan is followed as closely as possible weather permitting. If an SIU
is not monitored in the month indicated, it is monitored as soon as possible.
Uncontrollables are composite and grab samples at point in collection system that serves residential,
commercial(including dentists and other medical), and any unpermitted non-Sills. Uncontrollable
sampling,though not required,will be monitored annually.
Salisbury will use the actual sludge that is disposed of as our sludge sampling requirement per our sludge
disposal permit(WQ0001956)and EPA 503 regs.
Grant Treatment Train
GR — Grant Influent(sampled post preliminary processes,prior to residual side streams and primary
process).
GE — Grant Effluent(sampled at end of chlorine contact basin)
GAB—Grant Aeration Basin(sampled prior to influent of secondary clarification,due to accessibility)
GS- Grant Sludge to Disposal(digester sludge to disposal, sludge taken at end of belt press)
Town Treatment Train
TR—Town Influent(sampled post preliminary processes,prior to residual side streams)
TE—Town Effluent (sampled at end of chlorine contact basin)
TAB 1 —Town Aeration Basin#1 (sampled at effluent end of aeration basin)
TAB2—Town Aeration Basin#2(sampled at effluent end of aeration basin)
TS -Town Sludge to Disposal( digester sludge to disposal, sludge taken at end of belt press)
Final Effluent(Yadkin Effluent)
YE —Grant and Town Creek Treatment Trains chlorinated combined effluents are dechlorinated then
composite sampled prior to the cascade.
