Page 6 of 5 C-MI 10/08 Question#7 describe the treatment system. Wilderness NC, Inc.;Waste Water Treatment Facility 05/18/19 Wilderness NC, Inc. operates a 0.0125 MGS extended aeration wastewater treatment system consisting of the following components: • Aeration chamber • Sludge holding tank • Clarifier • Recirculating sand filter • 5:1 flow splitter • 1500-gallon recirculation tank with air diffuser • Filter screens • Dual pumps • Tablet chlorination and de-chlorination • Fifty-four (54) day polishing pond Wastewater flows from the plant into the aeration chamber via gravity. After aeration, wastewater flows either to the pump tank or polishing pond. During normal operation (April to October),wastewater flows from the aeration chamber to the pump tank and then is pumped to the recirculating sand filter. Wastewater is diverted to the pond during winter months (November to March)to avoid high ammonia typical during winter months. Water from the pond is returned to the pump tank at approximately the same rate. From the pump tank, wastewater is pumped into the recirculation sand filter. Effluent from the sand filter is split 4 to 1 with 3/4th of the flow being returned to the pump tank and 1/4th being discharged. Discharge is domestic wastewater, boiler blow down, and kiln condensate. . .. • • General Overview The wastewater treatment plant at Wilderness-NC, Inc., SFD/64 Lumber plant treats approximately 2000 gallons per day. The treatment system consist of an aeration • chamber,pump tank,polishing pond,recirculating sand filter;tablet chlorination and dechlorination. Wastewater flows from the plant into:the aeration chamber.via;gtavity. After aeration,wastewater flows either to the pump tank or the polishing pond. During normal operation(April to October);wastewater flows from the aeration chamber to the • pump tank, and them pumped to the recirculating sand filter. Wastewater is diverted•to the pond during winter months(November to March)to avoid high ammonia typical during winter months. Water form the pond is returned.to the pump tank at approximately the same rate. From the pump tank,wastewater is pumped into the recirculating sand filter. Effluent from the sand filter is split 4 to 1 with 4/5t of the flow being returned to the pump tank and 1/5t being discharged. The North Carolina • Department of Environment and Natural.Resources,NPDS Permit No.,NC0023604, permit the discharge of the effluent. • 5 5 • •. • This Operation and Maintenance(O&M)manual intends to set forth guidelines and procedures for the wastewater treatment system. OST based these guidelines on the . NPDES seasonal effluent limitations and past experiences with system performances. Occasionally,this O&M manual may need to be updated to:comply with effluent. requirements. A system flow land construction diagram is included with this O&M •manual. S • .. 1 • . I. • Diverting Flow to Polishing Pond • Under normal operating conditions(April to October),wastewater flows from the aeration..chamber to the pump tank: During this operating period, ammonia.effluent limits (per the'NPDES permit) are 2.0 mg/1 (monthly average). The ammonia effluent limits from November to March are increased to:4.0 mg/1 (monthly average).. are seen in the winter months. Therefore;beginning Historically,high ammonia results � $ g on November, flow should be diverted to incorporate the polishing pond. To Divert to:the Pond 1. Two 4-inch ductile iron gate valves are located between the aeration chamber and the • • pump tank. To divert flow to the pond,open.the gate valve on the discharge::line flowing to the pond, 2. Close the gate valve on the discharge line flowing to the pump tank. Water is pumped from the pond back into the pump tank using a transfer pump and-must be activated on the same winter/summer schedule above. The transfer.pump supplies ti water to the pump when activated, and to a yard hydrant for use at any time. A timer , • located at the pump tank activates a solenoid valve that allows pond water to flow to the pump tank. • To Divert from the Pond to the Pump Tank 1. Engage the time by sitting the timer to activate the pump 2. The pump should be activated 4 times per day and run for 1/2 hour. (Note:.-The • • • will be able to pumpapproximately 200gallons in a 1/2 hour.) The um PAP PP Y pump needs to be running while•the operator is performing.his daily site check. (Note: The • pump activation schedule may need to be altered depending on flow and associated' 2 _' pond levels.) 3. The pressure switch on the transfer pump should be set at 30 psi. High and low level probes control the pump tank wastewater levels. The probes will automatically turn on/off the pump in the pump tank. Wastewater from the pump tank flows into the recirculating sand filter and by gravity returns to the pump tank or is discharged. Prior to discharge,the effluent flows through a chlorinator and then a dechlorinator.
