Wastewater Operations
The Tuckaseigee Water and Sewer Authority currently owns and operates three(3)wastewater
treatment facilities and has contracted to operate the Whittier WWTP for the Whittier Sanitary
District. The following report is a summary of the operation of these facilities for the 2018
calendar year.
TWSA Plant # 1
Location: 1871 North River Rd.
Sylva,North Carolina 28779
Operator in Responsible Charge: Stan Bryson
Contact: Wastewater Operations Superintendent
1246 West Main St.
Sylva NC 28779
ph: 828-586-9318
TWSA Plant# 1 is operated under the authority of the following permits, as issued by the North
Carolina Dept. Of Environment and Natural Resources: NC0039578 NPDES Discharge Permit
WQ0005763 Residuals Permit
Air Quality Permit#08420R01
Stormwater Permit#NCG110111
TWSA Plant# 1 discharges from one outfall into the Tuckasegee River which is classified Class
C-Trout waters in the Little Tennessee River Basin. The plant design process is a sequencing
batch reactor(SBR)version of the activated sludge process with a design capacity of 3.5 million
gallon/day. The plant consists of the following unit processes, automatic band screen,vortex grit
removal, 150 hp triplex influent pump station,2 SBR basins with a capacity of 1.694 mg each,
468 mg of flow equalization, .1508 mg of chlorination contact capacity and d-chlorination and
reaeration facilities.
The plant upgrade completed in 2011 is currently operating well within permit limits. The
expansion should help to meet the growing needs of the county well into the future.
Additionally,the plant continues to treat wastes generated by septic tank pumpers in Jackson
County as well as portable toilet services provided during construction of any homes or
businesses in the county. These services to the total geographic area of the county significantly
impact the facilities sludge management operations.
Overall performance of the plant during 2018 was excellent,with no violations of permitted
parameters during the year.
Some pertinent information on the plant is as follows:
The average daily flow at the facility during the year 2018 was 1.074 mgd.This represents
30.7% of plant permitted capacity and was a 4.6% increase from 2017. The average daily flow
for the most recent five year period is 0.887 mgd.The highest monthly average in 2018 occurred
in December and was recorded as 1.324 mgd. This represents 37.8% of total plant capacity and
was a 6.8% increase from 2017. The highest daily flow occurred Dec 29th, 2017 and was
recorded as 4.496 mgd. This represented 128% of total plant capacity and was an increase of
72.8% from 2017. This was the only day during 2018 when the recorded flow was greater than
plant capacity.
Total sludge production was calculated from the amount of sludge processed on the belt filter
press. These residuals totaled 2,946,747 gals of sludge and were calculated at 254.3 dry tons.
This represents all of the sludge generated by the Authority's facilities during 2018. When the
sludge production of the other plants the Authority operates is subtracted from this total, it is
estimated that the TWSA Plant#1 facility produced ??? dry tons of sludge during 2018. This is
of the total amount of sludge produced by the facilities operated by the Authority during
2018. This sludge is dried to meet EPA and NCDENR regulations and is made available for
distribution to the public as a soil amendment. There were approx. ???tons of dried residuals
distributed to the public during 2018.
There were no violations of permitted monthly,weekly or daily limits during the 2018
calendar year. On average,there was a 97.6% reduction in the amount of pollutants in the
water after treatment.
A renewal of this permit was requested on April 3rd,2017.
The permit for this facility became effective July 1,2013 and expired at midnight on October 31,
2017.

TWSA Plant#2 is operated under the authority of the following permit, as issued by the North
Carolina Dept. Of Environment and Natural Resources: NC0020214 NPDES Discharge Permit
TWSA Plant#2 discharges from one outfall into Scott Creek which is classified Class C-Trout
waters in the Little Tennessee River Basin. The plant process is a conventional activated sludge
process with a design capacity of 0.5 million gallon/day. The plant consists of the following unit
processes,manually cleaned bar screen, aerated grit removal, activated sludge with secondary
clarification and chlorination and dechlorination facilities.The addition of a surge(eq)basin is
needed to maximize the treatment capacity of the plant. The major concern at this facility is the
outdated and mismatched electrical facilities. The electrical facilities will have to be substantially
upgraded to allow the Authority to move forward with any plant improvements.
The average daily flow at the facility during the year 2018 was .160 mgd. This represents
26% of plant capacity and was a 6% decrease from the avg. daily flow during 2017. The highest
monthly average in 2018 occurred in December and was recorded as 0.216 mgd. This represents
43.2% of total plant capacity and was a 0.8% increase from 2017.The highest daily recorded
flow in 2018 was .510 mgd and occurred Dec 29th,2018. This represented 102% of total plant
capacity. This was the only day in 2018 when the recorded flow was greater than plant capacity.
This plant produced 250,000 gallons of waste sludge during 2018. These residuals totaled 20.45
dry tons and represented 8.0 % of the total residuals generated by the Authorities facilities.
This sludge was hauled to via tank truck to TWSA Plant#1 for treatment.
Overall performance of the TWSA#2 wastewater plant for the calendar year of 2018 was
excellent. There were no violations of permitted monthly,weekly or daily limits during the
2018 calendar year. On average,there was a 97.6% reduction in the amount of pollutants
in the water after treatment.
This facilities permit was renewed on July 1,2018 and expires Oct 31,2022.

TWSA Plant#3 is operated under the authority of the following permit, as issued by the North
Carolina Dept. Of Environment and Natural Resources: NC0063321 NPDES Discharge Permit
TWSA Plant#3 discharges from one outfall into an unnamed tributary to the Chatooga River
which is classified as Class B-Trout ORW waters in the Savannah River Basin. The plant process
is a conventional activated sludge process with a design capacity of 0.200 million gallon/day.
The plant consists of the following unit processes,manually cleaned bar screen, extended air
activated sludge with secondary clarification,tertiary filters and chlorination and dechlorination
facilities. The addition of a band screen at the headworks would greatly improve operations and
the quality of sludge the plant produces.
The average daily flow at the facility during the year 2018 was 0.090 mgd this represents 45%
of plant capacity and was a 9% increase from the avg daily flow during 2017.The highest
monthly average during 2018 occurred in June and was recorded as.130 mgd. This represents
65% of total plant capacity and represents a 15.7% increase from 2017.The highest daily
recorded flow in 2018 was .216 mgd and occurred May 30th,2018. This represented 108% of
total plant capacity.
This plant produced 75,000 gallons of waste sludge during 2018. These residuals totaled
8.87 dry tons and represented 3.5% of the total residuals generated by the Authorities facilities.
This sludge was hauled to TWSA Plant#1 for treatment.
Overall performance of the TWSA#3 wastewater plant for the calendar year of 2018 was
excellent. There were no violations of permitted monthly,weekly or daily limits during the
2018 calendar year. On average,,there was a 96.7% reduction in the amount of pollutants
in the water after treatment.
The permit for this facility was renewed effective November 1,2017 and will expire on Aug 31st,
2022.

The facility was noncompliant during the month of November for the average%reduction of
TSS (total suspended solids). The permit requires the facility to achieve a reduction of 85%in

only 78.4%.
Observation of the location of the Influent sample intake led operators to believe the
solids were settling out before the sample was taken. This along with dilution of the wastewater
by high rainfall totals resulted in the avg for TSS in the Influent being somewhat lowered.
