Ayden, Town of - Sewer Rehabilitation, Swift Creek, Pitt
County, Coastal Plain Region
Summary
The Town of
Ayden requests $300,000 of a $3,300,000 (91% match) effort
to reduce contamination of Swift Creek in the Neuse River
basin. The match is a 1999 $3,000,000 grant from Construction
Grants and Loan Program which replaced 20,000 linear feet
of collection line and constructed irrigation facilities
at the Contentnea Metropolitan Sewer District WWTP. This
application proposes to replace a 1,100 gravity line with
8,000 linear feet of new force main and construct a new
pump station. I/I problems exist, and are estimated to contribute
as much as 50,000 gpd excess delivery to the CMSD plant.
Repairs could decrease discharge from the CMSD plant by
this amount. Fecal contamination occurs when lines overflow
during storm events; Swift Creek is 1,500 feet from the
failing lines, which discharge sewer to the CMSD collection
system. While 50,000 gpd may occur during these events,
and general leakage at all times, the amount of untreated
sewage reaching surface waters is not estimated. Pitt County
is Tier IV. The county’s High Unit Cost is $30.64, and the
Water/Sewer rate is $58.20. The overall cost to CWMTF for
the lines and pump station is $38 per linear foot. Cost
per pound of nitrogen reduced is unavailable. Staff is satisfied
that the project does not accommodate growth inputs.
Water
Quality Benefits
- Reduce fecal
coliform and nutrient delivery to Swift Creek (C, Sw,
NSW, 303(d) for sediment)

2004B-502 Biscoe, Town of - Troy,
Biscoe, Star Regional Facility, Cedar Creek, Montgomery
County, Piedmont Region
Summary
The Town of
Biscoe requests $4,406,200 of a $6,236,000 (29% match) effort
to regionalize waste treatment among Troy, Biscoe and Star
in the Yadkin River basin. This application is for implementation
of a regionalization feasibility study funded previously
by CWMTF. At the time of this scope, the applicant had not
secured participation among all municipalities, and the
possibility of the addition of the Handi Sanitary District
makes complete evaluation difficult. The project will definitely
have a positive impact on water quality, and has great support
among the regulatory community. Evaluation will be completed
with confirmation of the total project components.
Water
Quality Benefits
Remove discharge
from Hickory Branch (C) and Cotton Creek (WSII, 303(d)),

2004B-503 Brunswick County
- Regionalization and Septic Tank Elimination, Lockwoods
Folly, Coastal Plain region
Summary
Brunswick County
requests $2,200,000 of a revised $12,293,885 (82% match)
effort to restore the Intracoastal Waterway and regionalize
wastewater treatment systems in the Lumber River basin.
The project would eliminate all septic tank systems on Holden
Beach (approx. 463,000 gpd), and take discharges from county-run
package plants at the Brunswick County Complex, Community
College, and two subdivisions: St. James and Winding River
Plantation. Reuse water generated at the Regional WWTP will
be used at the golf courses at the subdivisions and a county-owned
tree farm. The total overall volume reduction of discharged
wastewater estimated by the applicant is 600,000 gpd, or
~6,570 pounds of nitrogen per year. This represents a cost
to CWMTF of $335 per pound of N reduced. The total project
represents 20% of the cost of the regional systems transmission
and reuse, and involves 286,400 linear feet of force main
and collection lines, and three pump stations, which represents
a cost to CWMTF of $8.00 per linear foot.
Brunswick is a Tier IV county, with a Water/Sewer rate of
$58.00 and a High Unit Cost of $44.86. The anticipated water
& sewer rate after project completion is $114.94, with
Holden Beach’s HUC at $55.00.
Brunswick County has an outstanding grant with CWMTF (1998A-301)
for regional system reuse. Of the $1.5 million grant, about
$143,000 has been spent (permitting, design, surveying and
acquisition), with the remaining to expire June 30, 2005.
Water

2004B-505 Contentnea Metropolitan
Sewer District - Grifton Sewer Rehabilitation, Swift Creek,
Pitt County, Coastal Plain Region
Summary
The Contentnea
Metropolitan Sewer District requests a revised amount of
$961,650 of a $2,561,650 (62% match) effort to reduce contamination
of Swift Creek in the Neuse River basin. The project would
rehabilitate 10,700 linear feet of lines between Grifton
and Ayden. The applicant estimates a reduction in overflows
of 300,000 gallons per year. This represents approximately
9 pounds of nitrogen. This is small at the source, but I/I
can cause as much as 45,000,000 gallons per year excess
flow to the WWTP, which is currently exceeding it’s monthly
average nitrogen loading by as much as 750 lbs. N. This
project is planned to eliminate that violation, resulting
in a reduction of ~8,700 lbs. N per year. This represents
a cost to CWMTF of $111 per pound of N reduced. Pitt County
water and sewer rates are $41.52, and the high unit cost
is $40.04. Contentnea is currently under a moratorium.

Summary
The Town of
Ellerbe requests $150,000 of a $200,000 (25% match) effort
to restore Toms Creek in the Yadkin River basin. The project
would install a UV disinfection system to the town’s existing
lagoon treatment process. This is a unique approach for
a lagoon system, and is thus somewhat innovative, with continuous
backwash filters. The town has violations of BOD and residual
chlorine, which would be eliminated. Richmond County is
Tier I, and the waster/sewer rates average (county &
town) $27, with high unit cost at $26.40. The Town has capitol
improvement plan.

2004B-509 LaGrange, Town
of - Reuse, Mosley Creek, Lenoir County, Coastal Plain Region
Summary
The Town of
LaGrange requests $907,000 (0% match) to substantially reduce,
and practically eliminate, wastewater discharge to Mosely
Creek in the Neuse River Basin. The project would be for
construction of sewer line and pumps to convey reuse quality
wastewater to Wight Nursery, which could, during the growing
season accept all of the Town’s approximately 0.50 MGD flow
(plant designed at 0.75 MGD). The 85-acre nursery, expanding
to 146 acres, will be able to reduce its groundwater withdrawal
by at least 75% with this arrangement. During the season,
withdrawal reduction will be 100%. With the discharge eliminated,
this would remove approximately 8,200 lbs. of Nitrogen per
year at a cost (total project) of $111/lb. N. However, the
proposal does not include a reduction in the permitted discharge,
due to the risk of having only one seasonal user.. Lenoir
is a Tier 2 county, and the HUC for the Town is $35.19,
with the W&S rate of $44.00. DWQ has stated that LaGrange
has a very proactive stance towards addressing their wastewater
rehabilitation, with a treatment plant already treating
to reuse standards. Additionally, there will be an adjacent
10-acre waterfowl subimpoundment that will use 4-7 million
gallons of this reuse water, which will aid in off-season
storage.
Water

2004B-510 Lenoir, City of
- Collection System Rehabilitation, Lower Creek, Caldwell
County, Mountain Region
Summary
The City of
Lenoir requests a revised $1,786,910 of a $2,420,600 (26%
match) effort to replace failing terra cotta sewer lines
along Lower Creek in the Catawba River basin. There have
been numerous spills and overflows to Lower Creek, which
is a tributary to Lake Rhodhiss, and into city streets.
The applicant has indicated that a large portion of use
of the old line will be removed initially, and that eventually
all use will be removed. Caldwell is a Tier III county,
with a water/sewer rate of $37.20 and a high unit cost of
$36.71.
Water
Quality Benefits
- Reduce fecal
coliform and nutrient contamination of Lower Creek (C,
urban 303(d)), which drains to Lake Rhodhiss (WS-V).
Scope

- Decommission
old collection line
Budget
Notes
Match as described
in the application
Staff
Recommendation 10/10/04
Staff recommends
funding the requested amount up to $1,787,000. The reason
for the revision was that staff requested that the original
line be taken out of use to assure non-growth concerns.
The original request was for $800,000, which would build
the new line to relieve overflows of the old under-designed
line. This could still be done if the old line is not to
be decommissioned.

2004B-511 Lexington, City
of - Reclaimed Wastewater, Abbotts Creek, Davidson County,
Piedmont Region
Summary
The City of
Lexington requests $971,400 of a $1,955,099 (50% match)
effort to protect Abbott Creek in the Yadkin River basin.
The project would construct a 0.3 MGD treatment facility
that will “scalp” wastewater from an existing outfall, treat
to reuse standards, and irrigate a golf course. Any unused
treated wastewater would be redirected to the main WWTP.
The use would be seasonal, and the applicant plans to add
residential hookups in the future. The scalping plant would
use 8% of the daily flow during peak use in dry weather.
Abbott’s Creek becomes a part of High Rock Lake. The current
plant is in compliance, and the City is spending $5,000,000
in phosphorus treatment retrofits for new permit requirement
for 2004. An additional advantage to the proposal would
be reduced freshwater use through golf course irrigation.
Davidson is a Tier IV, but Lexington is considered an economic
zone Tier I community by Construction Grants & Loan
program. DWQ’s Basinwide Plan specifically encourages Lexington
to pursue reuse. The City has an irrigation field, and this
project will expand that effort. This is a previous application
(2003A-509), and the applicant was encouraged to reapply
with water / sewer rates at or above the high unit cost.
The water / sewer rate is $41.31, and the high unit cost
is $34.27. The potential flow reduction in discharge is
300,000 gpd seasonally, which is 9 lbs. of nitrogen. At
8 months maximum use, this could result in a reduction of
~2,150 lbs. N per year. In addition to the reduction in
WWTP discharge, the receiving golf course will not be withdrawing
groundwater
Water
Quality Benefits
- Treat to
reuse standard 0.3 mgd (8%) of the total discharge to
Abbotts Creek (WS V, B) and High Rock Lake, reducing nutrient
loadings by an estimated 2,100 lbs. N per year. Abbotts
Creek is proposed by DWQ for 303(d) listing. Abbotts Creek
also contains a protected species (S2G2), the Greensboro
Burrowing Crayfish.
- Although
High Rock Lake is not officially classified as Nutrient
Sensitive, it does meet the qualification.

project would hook up 72 systems, 66 (92%) of which are
failing. Also removed will be two school package plants,
one school septic system and one commercial mound septic
system. The sites would be connected to Rocky Mount WWTP.
This represents about 2,000 pounds of nitrogen per year,
at a cost to CWMTF of ~1,473 per lb. N. Edgecombe is a Tier
I county.

2004B-604 Stumpy Point Water
& Sewer District - Stumpy Point and Lake Worth Septic
Tanks, Dare County, Coastal Plain Region
Summary
The Stumpy Point
Water & Sewer District requests $1,727,326 of a $2,744,000
(37% match) effort to address fecal coliform and nutrient
contamination to Stumpy Point Bay in the Pasquotank River
basin (Pamlico Sound). The project would construct a tertiary
WWTP (.05 MGD) with UV disinfection and will connect 110
septic systems. The soils are limited for septic tanks,
and while 66 (57%) failures are documented, all are likely
contributing nitrogen. Many are straight-piped to a canal.
Dare is a Tier II county, with an expected water/sewer rate
of $75.10, and having a high unit cost for the community
of $41.82. Nitrogen delivery reduction is estimated at ~3,000
lbs. N/yr, representing a cost to CWMTF of $576/lb. N. The
cost per system is $24,945. Much of Stumpy Sound’s shellfish
areas are likely closed due to these failing septic systems,
and the project could result in a reopening of the beds.
Water
Quality Benefits
- Reduce fecal
coliform and 3,000 lbs. N/yr delivery to Stumpy Bay/Pamlico
Sound (SA, closed & open, SNHA(A&C), S3 spp.
Scope
of Work
- Install 42,500
linear feet of collection lines and force main.

Council of Governments - Regional Septic
Systems, Mountain Region
Summary
The Western
Piedmont Council of Governments requests $303,180 of a $371,260
(18% match) effort to continue its Unifour Septic Tank Repair
Program begun in 1997 in the Catawba and Yadkin River basins.
The WPCOG estimates there are over 21,000 failing tanks
in the four-county area. They have successfully addressed
over 125 systems, at an average cost of about $2,700 per
system. 70% have been loans, and 88% have been in Water
Supply Watersheds. The program has recovered $60,000 via
the loan portion. This grant would maintain Water Supply
Watershed and 303(d) emphasis. At $2,700 per system, this
will address another 121 or so systems. The budget includes
support for a position ($44,380).
Water
Quality Benefits
- Reduce fecal
contamination and nutrient delivery to a region with many
classifications, including headwaters, protected species,
Tr, a state SNHA(B) , water supply and 303(d).

2004A-501 Dunn, City of –
Wastewater/ Rehabilitation, Mingo Swamp, Harnett County,
Central Piedmont
Summary
The City of
Dunn is requesting $3,085,000 of a $3,873,000 (21% match)
effort to rehabilitate their sewer collection and treatment
systems to protect Mingo Swamp and the (Little) Black River
in the Cape Fear River Basin. The project will greatly reduce
or eliminate sewage overflows to surface waters by rehabilitation
of a pump station and upgrade of wastewater treatment facility’s
flow equalization. Systems estimates that over a 4-year
period almost 20 million gallons of raw sewage has overflowed
into surface waters without the proposed upgrades in place.
The averaged water and sewer rate for the City and County
is $42.00, with an averaged High Unit Cost value of $39.77.
Harnett is a Tier IV County. The applicant estimates an
average of almost 5,000,000 gallons of raw sewage has entered
the surface waters each year (.01 MGD) over a 4-year period
because of the need for these repairs. This would result
in a reduction in delivery of 150 pounds of nitrogen per
year, at a cost to CWMTF of $20,566 per lb. of N. The overflows
also contain fecal coliforms. The applicant has received
a 400,000 grant from the Rural Development Center for additional
I / I work.
