Subject: CWMTF Proposal
Project ID: 20054A-506
Town of Pittsboro - Land application/reuse/education project
NPDES No. NCO020354
This request from the Town of Pittsboro is to divert approximately 65,000 gpd of treated
wastewater from the Pittsboro wastewater treatment plant to Central Carolina
Community College. The treatment plant currently discharges to Robeson Creek, which
is (303 d) listed as impaired (chlorophyll a and biological integrity).
From the perspective of the NPDES Unit, this request could benefit water quality by
diverting a portion of the wastewater load from Robeson Creek. The NPDES Unit would
have no objection to this request (either the land application site or the constructed
wetlands), as long as the requirements set forth by the Aquifer Protection Section were
met. The added benefit to this project would be to provide an educational source to the
Community College.
