NPDES Permit # NCO066028
Ashe County
Dear Mr. Church:
On October 9, 2015 an inspection was performed by George Smith. Mr. Tim Church, ORC, was present. The
inspection is comprised of an overall evaluation in order to document compliance and noncompliance of:
facilities equipment, capability to meet effluent limits, and terms & conditions with the NPDES permit.
Permit
Your NPDES permit became effective August 1, 2011 and expires March 31, 2016.
As discussed during the previous inspection, the Town may request a permit flow of 30,000 gpd, thereby,
changing the sampling requirements to a grab sample. This can be done during your permit renewal application.
It is recommended that the Town register for eDMR. It will be a permit requirement in your next permit cycle.
Please remember to submit your NPDES permit renewal application EPA Form A. Send to:
Division of Water Resources
WQ Permitting Section - NPDES
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1617
Records & Reports
An activity log was also kept in the building, which logs operator visitation and plant operations. All certificates
of analytical analysis were kept on file along with chain of custody forms.
Calibration records for pH, total residual chlorine, and temperature were documented.
In summary, the records and reports documentation by Mr. Church is considered to be excellent.
Facility Site Review
The influent manual barscreen is maintained.

The two influent pumps work on alternating cycles and appeared to operating properly, and there was no
evidence of overflows.
Both blower pumps were operational, and delivering a gentle rolling action in the aeration basin.
The aeration basin had little foam and a good color with an earthy odor.
There was no evidence of straggler flock or solids from the up -flow clarifier cone unit. The discharge was clear.
The backwash system is functioning properly.
The Sanuril tablet chlorination unit was installed in the final effluent contact tank. One of the four tubes is used
for disinfection. The unit is satisfactory.
An in -ground tablet dechlorinator (Sanuril model) was installed. Sodium bisulfite tablets are used in one tube.
Flow Measurement
The recording flow chart is operating, and measures the height of water measured in inches passing through a
60' V-notch weir.
The flow calibration log and charts were kept on -site for at least 3-years, and were well documented.
The flow meter was calibrated and documented on August 5, 2015.
Laboratory
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC), Temperature, and pH are performed and recorded on the Daily Monitoring
Report (DMR). The field parameters (TRC, Temp, pH) are currently performed under field parameter
certification #5419.
The pH is performed with a Hach Sension 1 meter using a two -point calibration (pH 4 & 10) and a mid -range
check (pH 7), which is considered satisfactory.
Mr. Church performs a temperature calibration against a NIST traceable thermometer.
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) is measured with a Hach DR2500, which is capable of detection to permit
limit of 28 ug/L. The annual 5-point calibration is scheduled to be performed during October 2015.
Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent was clear with no color or solids present at the time of inspection. Big Horse Creek, Class C-trout,
HQW waters, appeared to be clean with no visible impacts.
Operations & Maintenance
Mr. Tim Church is a grade IV operator and is the current ORC. Mr. Fred Walters is the Grade II back-up operator.

PV
The facility and grounds are maintained in excellent condition.
Plant -Pro (Chlorine 68%) is used for disinfecting, and Plant -Pro (Sodium bisulfite) is used for dechlorination.
They appear to work well.
Settleability test is periodically performed as process control to judge the operational performance of this facility.
For the most part, operation & maintenance is judged by observing plant performance.
Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from January 2015 through July 2015 showed no monitoring
or limit violations.
The effluent composite sample is collected with an Isco Model 3710 FR using the flow proportion method at
200 mL/ 1000 gal. The composite is stored in ice.
Sludge Disposal
The sludge removal is contracted through Doug Cox septic service and hauled to the Town of Jefferson WWTP.
The compliance evaluation inspection is considered satisfactory. Mr. Church maintains the facility in an
excellent manner. If you have any questions please contact George Smith or me at [phone].

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI)
Town of Lansing WWTP
NPDES Permit # NCO066028
Ashe County
Dear Mr. Church:
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
On November 20, 2008 a CEI was performed by George Smith. Mr. Tim Church, ORC, was present for
the inspection. Mr. Marc Stokes, Technical Assistance was present during the inspection. The inspection
is comprised of an overall evaluation in order to document compliance and noncompliance of: facilities
equipment, capability to meet effluent limits, and terms & conditions with the NPDES permit.
The attached inspection form evaluates nine (9) areas as noted in Section C of the attached EPA
inspection report, and the observations and comments during the inspection are addressed below:
Permit
Your NPDES permit became effective April 1, 2006 and expires March 31, 2011.
Records & Reports
An activity log was also kept in the building, which logs operator visitation and plant operations.
All certificates of analytical analysis were kept on file along with chain of custody forms.
Calibration records for pH, total residual chlorine, and temperature were documented.
In summary, the records and reports documentation by Mr. Church is considered to be excellent.
Facility Site Review
The influent barscreen is maintained.
The two influent pumps work on alternating cycles and appeared to operating properly, and there was no
evidence of overflows.

Mr. Church

Both blower pumps were operational, and were delivering a gentle rolling action in the aeration basin.
The aeration basin was a brown color with white colored foam covering less than 5% of the surface of the
basin.
There was no evidence of straggler flock or solids from the up -flow clarifier cone unit. The discharge was
clear.
The backwash system was functioning properly.
The Sanuril tablet chlorination unit was installed in the final effluent contact tank. One of the four tubes is
used for disinfection. The unit is satisfactory.
A sodium bisulfate tablet dechlorination tube was placed after the effluent weir in order to meet the total
residual chlorine limit of 28 ug/L. This treatment may be functioning properly because the facility only
receives 20% of the permitted flow. In future inspections, especially if the daily flow increases the
Division may decide to perform a field test in order to check the performance of this unit.
Flow Measurement
The recording flow chart is operating, and measures the height of water measured in inches passing
through a 60' V-notch weir.
The flow calibration log and charts were kept on -site for at least 3-years, and were well documented.
The flow meter was calibrated by BW Allen and documented on November 20, 2008.
Laboratory
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC), Temperature, and pH are performed and recorded on the Daily
Monitoring Report (DMR). The field parameters (TRC, Temp, pH) are currently performed under field
parameter certification #5419.
The pH is performed with a Hach Sension 1 meter using a two -point calibration (pH 4 & 10) and a mid-
range check (pH 7), which is considered satisfactory.
Mr. Church performs a temperature calibration against a NIST traceable thermometer.
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) is measured with a Hach DR2500, which is capable of detection to permit
limit of 28 ug/L. The annual 5-point calibration was performed on April 24, 2008.
Effluent/Receiviniz Waters
The effluent was clear with no color or solids present at the time of inspection. Big Horse Creek, Class C-
trout, HQW waters, appeared to be clean with no visible impacts.

Operations & Maintenance
Mr. Tim Church is a grade IV operator and is the current ORC. Mr. Fred Walters is the Grade II back-up
operator.
The facility and grounds are maintained in excellent condition.
Plant -Pro (Chlorine 68%) is used for disinfecting, and Plant -Pro (Sodium bisulfate) is used for
dechlorination. They appear to work well.
Settleability test is periodically performed as process control to judge the operational performance ofthis
facility. For the most part, operation & maintenance is judged by observing plant performance.
Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from January 2008 through August 2008 showed no
monitoring or limit violations.
The influent and effluent samples are collected with an Isco Model 2910. The new flow meter will be
used for flow proportion sampling.
All composite and grab samples are collected after the effluent weir, which is after all treatment units.
Sludge Disposal
The aerated digester was approximately 50% full at the time of the inspection. The sludge removal is
contracted through Doug Cox septic service and hauled to the Town of Jefferson WWTP.
The compliance evaluation inspection is considered satisfactory, and all action items from the previous
were completed. If you have any questions please contact George Smith or me at [phone].

This is the Performance Annual Report for the Town of Lansing Wastewater Treatment Plant
and its outlying collection system. Our goal is to continuously manage all of our water quality
facilities in a manner that not only exceeds all state and federal standards, but also protects and
enhances the surface waters of the New River Basin. This report covers the calendar year 2007.
Collection System Performance is critical to our river basin. The town maintains over a mile of
gravity sanitary sewers and a pump station at the wastewater treatment facility. In 2007 the
North Carolina Rural Water Association conducted a smoke testing study of the sanitary sewer
system aimed at locating sources of inflow and infiltration of groundwater and surface water into
the collection system. Several citizens of the town also assisted in this endeavor. The study was
successful in locating a large facility with its roof drains connected to the sewer. Some points of
infiltration were also located within the collection system itself. The town is working to correct
these sources.
It is also important for customers to realize the potential problems presented to the collection
system by the introduction of FOG (Fats, Oil, and Grease). These materials tend to solidify in
the sewer lines and can create blockages that lead to the overflows of raw sewage into nearby
streams. Homeowners should take care to avoid pouring any cooking oils or grease into their
drains. Placing the grease into a container and allowing it to solidify and then placing the
material into your garbage will avoid such problems. Restaurant owners and commercial users
should install grease traps on their service line prior to its connection to the sewer main.
No sanitary sewer overflows occurred during 2007.
Wastewater Plant Performance for 2007 was again excellent. Your wastewater facility has a
design capacity of 50,000 gallons per day and is currently treating about 15,000 gallons per day.
The plant's NPDES discharge permit requires the weekly analysis of the following parameters.
Conventional Pollutant AyL. Fj uent Conc., mr/1 Permit Limit, mFR Removal Etc. %
Biochemical Oxygen Demand
Total Suspended Residue
Ammonia Nitrogen
Fecal Coliform
30
30
N/A N/A
200 org/100 ml. N/A
Additional parameters measured are pH, temperature, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus
All parameters were compliant with the WWTP permit conditions in 2007.
The Town of Lansing Wastewater Treatment Facility did not experience any permit violations
during the 2007 calendar year. We take satisfaction in seeing our work and your support result in
clean water for the New River Basin. Our consumers are extremely important to the successful
operation of this utility. If you have questions or comments in regard to this document or the
operation and management of the Town of Lansing water and wastewater facilities please contact
Tim Church at [phone].

analysis of environmental samples.
GENERAL COMMENTS:
The laboratory is spacious and well equipped. All facilities and instrumentation are well maintained.
Some further quality control procedures need to be implemented.
FINDINGS, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
Total Residual Chlorine — Standard Methods, 18th Edition, 4500 Cl G
A. Finding: The time of analysis for the instrument calibration verification check standard was not
documented. Since samples may not be analyzed prior to calibration or calibration check
standards, this is considered required supporting documentation.
Requirement: Data pertinent to each analysis must be maintained for five years. Ref: 15A
NCAC 2H .0805 (g) (1). The following must be documented: the time the calibration check is
performed. Ref: NC WW/GW LC Technical Assistance for Field Analysis of Total Residual
Chlorine (revision date 9/07).
Temperature — Standard Methods, 20th Edition, 2550 B
B. Finding: No units of measure are associated with some of the data values listed on the
benchsheets.
Requirement: Data pertinent to each analysis must be maintained for five years. Certified Data
must consist of date collected, time collected, samples site, sample collector, and sample
analysis time. The field bench sheets must provide a space for the signature of the analyst, and
proper units of measure for all analyses. Ref: 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (g) (1)

Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI)
Town of Lansing WWTP
NPDES Permit # NCO066028
Ashe County
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
On March 4, 2008 a CEI was performed by George Smith. Mr. Tim Church, ORC, was present for the
inspection. The inspection is comprised of an overall evaluation in order to document compliance and
noncompliance of. facilities equipment, capability to meet effluent limits, and terms & conditions with the
NPDES permit.
The attached inspection form evaluates nine (9) areas as noted in Section C of the attached EPA
inspection report, and the observations and comments during the inspection are addressed below:
Permit
Your NPDES permit became effective April 1, 2006 and expires March 31, 2011.
Records & Reports
An activity log was also kept in the building, which logs operator visitation and plant operations.
All certificates of analytical analysis were kept on file along with chain of custody forms.
Calibration records for pH, total residual chlorine, and temperature were documented.
In summary, the records and reports documentation by Mr. Church is considered to be excellent.
A Wastewater System Performance Annual Report is required per General Statute § 143-215.1 C (a). The
report shall be prepared on either a calendar or fiscal year basis and shall be provided no later than 60
days after the end of the calendar or fiscal year. In order to be compliant please submit this annual report
to: Surface Water Protection Branch, 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1617.
Facility Site Review
There appears to be an increased amount of stormwater run-off adjacent to the effluent box. The increased
stormwater flow caused the soil above the effluent pipe to become exposed. The last ten feet of the pipe 10,, Cazoty
from the creek is exposed. aturall

The one -inch bar screen cage with a manual pull-up was well maintained.
The two influent pumps work on alternating cycles and appeared to operating properly, and there was no
evidence of overflows.
Both blower pumps were operational, and were delivering a gentle rolling action in the aeration basin.
The aeration basin was a brown color with white colored foam covering approximately 5% of the surface
of the basin.
There was no evidence of straggler flock or solids from the up -flow clarifier cone unit. The discharge was
clear.
The backwash system was functioning properly.
The Sanuril tablet chlorination unit was installed in the final effluent contact tank. One of the four tubes is
used for disinfection. The unit is satisfactory.
A sodium bisulfate tablet dechlorination tube was placed after the effluent weir in order to meet the total
residual chlorine limit of 28 ug/L. This treatment may be functioning properly because the facility only
receives 20% of the permitted flow. In future inspections, especially if the daily flow increases the
Division may decide to perform a field test in order to check the performance of this unit.
Flow Measurement
The recording flow chart is operating, and measures the height of water measured in inches passing
through a 60' V-notch weir. The flow device was not working. The paperwork for a new flow
measurement device was initiated. It is a permit requirement to have a calibrated flow measurement
device.
The flow calibration log and charts were kept on -site for at least 3-years, and were well documented.
The flow meter was calibrated by Mr. Church and documented on February 20, 2007.
During the previous inspection it was documented that the facility is experiencing the onset of inflow &
infiltration problems. This office received your reply on January 16, 2007 concerning inflow and
infiltration (I&I), which also addressed the installation of a new well. The I&I results and the date the
repairs were completed must be submitted to this office.
Laboratory
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC), Temperature, and pH are performed and recorded on the Daily
Monitoring Report (DMR). The field parameters (TRC, Temp, pH) are currently performed under field
parameter certification #5419.

Mr. Church
March 7, 2008
Page 3 of 4
The pH is performed with a Hach Sension 1 meter using a two -point calibration (pH 4 & 10) and a mid-
range check (pH 7), which is considered satisfactory.
Mr. Church performs a temperature calibration against a NIST traceable thermometer.
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) is measured with a Hach DR2500, which is capable of detection to permit
limit of 28 ug/L. The annual 5-point calibration is required annually.
Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent was clear with no color or solids present at the time of inspection. Big Horse Creek, Class C-
trout, HQW waters, appeared to be clean with no visible impacts.
Operations & Maintenance
Mr. Tim Church is a grade IV operator and is the current ORC. Mr. Fred Walters is the Grade II back-up
operator.
The facility and grounds are maintained in excellent condition.
Plant -Pro (Chlorine 68%) is used for disinfecting, and Plant -Pro (Sodium bisulfite) is used for
dechlorination. They appear to work well.
Settleability test is periodically performed as process control to judge the operational performance of this
facility. For the most part, operation & maintenance is judged by observing plant performance.
The clarifier cones were backwashed. This type of system appears to be inefficient for use in a
wastewater treatment plant. In general, WWTP clarifiers should not be backwashed, but allowed to settle
solids without being disturbed. As the facility approaches the permitted flow of 0.050 MGD this design
may not be able to produce an effluent that meets the NPDES permit requirements.
Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from January 2007 through December 2007 showed no
monitoring or limit violations.
The effluent sample was collected with an Isco Model 2910 using a time composite at 120 mL/hr.
The influent sample was collected with an Isco Model 2910 using a time composite at 120 mL/hr.
All composite and grab samples are collected after the effluent weir, which is after all treatment units.

Mr. Church

Dear Collection System Permittee:
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
This letter clarifies the Division correspondence of May 31, 2007 concerning sewer collection issues. In
that letter you will note the use of the word "will" in regards to issuing Notices of Violation (NOVs) for
Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs). The intent of that statement was to make sanitary sewer system
owners and operators aware that each SSO will be evaluated on a case -by -case basis to determine if a
NOV is warranted. The statement was not intended to indicate that in all cases an NOV will be issued
without a review of case specific factors.
You may have also noted a second statement using the word "will' regarding the issuance of civil
penalties. Civil penalties are only issued based on case -specific factors that include, but are not limited
to the following: volume, volume reaching surface waters, duration, gravity, impacts to public health,
fish kills or recreational area closures. Again, the statement is not intended to indicate that in all cases a
civil penalty assessment will be issued without review of case specific factors.
In addition, the May 31 correspondence included a Flow Tracking/Acceptance for Sewer Extension
Permit Applications Form (FTSE-10/07). A revised form is enclosed. Effective January 15, 2008, this
form must be completed by the owner of the receiving WWTP and submitted with all applications for
sewer line extensions. Additional forms may be required if entities other than the owner of the WWTP
own pump stations along the route of the proposed wastewater flow. These entities would certify and
submit the additional forms. Applications received after the implementation date that fail to include this
information will be returned immediately as incomplete.
Section I, (d) of the FTSE-10/07 requires an estimate of the obligated flow not yet tributary to the
WWTP. Reviewing flow allocations made over the last two years, WWTP owners must reconcile their
flow records, to the best of their ability, so it is known how much flow has been obligated, but not yet
made tributary to the WWTP. Submit FTSE-10/07 to the appropriate Regional Office with Section I, (a)
— (e) completed by January 15, 2008. Please note that items (a) — (h) in Section I, will be completed for
future sewer extension application.
Please note that Section II will also be completed for each future sewer extension application. In most
cases, the owner of the WWTP will be the owner of the pump stations and only one form will be o"n`

Collection System Requirements
Ashe County
Dear Mayor Ring:
I would like to take this opportunity to discuss the requirements for sewer collection systems that
were first established in 15 NCAC .02H .0200 in March 2000 and are now found in 15 NCAC 2T
.0403 (copy attached) that became effective September 1, 2006 and are applicable to this facility.
High priority sewers must be inspected every six (6) months and a log maintained with dates,
inspection methods, and corrective actions taken or planned. These sections of sewer include aerial
lines, lines contacting surface waters, sub -waterway crossings, siphons, and sections of sewer
parallel to stream banks which are subject to erosion and the potential for failure of the sewer line.
The sewer line right-of-way must be maintained to allow access to the sewer lines for inspection and
repair. A map with dates noted for the work performed or a log could be used for documentation.
A general observation of the entire system must be conducted every year and a log (or map) should
be maintained to document these observations. Where there are areas that are visible to the
general public, right of way maintenance has been conducted or where sewer cleaning has
occurred, the 'observation" requirement has essentially been met for that section of line. The lines
that are not normally seen by the public or maintenance crews are of main concern for this
"observation " requirement.
A Grease Control Program must be in place and include the distribution of grease education
materials (example attached) to the users of the system twice every year. It must also include the
legal means to require grease interceptors for new construction and retrofit of interceptors where
necessary and the authority to inspect and enforce for violations. If sewer overflows are caused by
grease, education materials shall be distributed more often.
An operation and maintenance plan must be developed and implemented which lists the frequency
of pump station inspections (see below), preventative maintenance schedule, spare parts inventory,
and overflow response plan. Testing frequency for any emergency equipment should also be
included in this plan.
Pump stations that have operational telemetry must be inspected weekly while those without
telemetry must be inspected daily (365 days/ year). The preventative maintenance plan for pump
stations should list the frequency to exercise valves, lubricate pumps and mechanical equipment,
remove any debris from the wetwell, check operation of alarms, telemetry and any generators.
A map of the collection system must be prepared and maintained with any additions to the system.
The map should indicate the line size, pipe material, flow direction, pump station locations, location
of any tributary collection system connections, approximate age of the sewer, and number of None Carolina

active service taps. Records must be kept for 3 years while the map is a continuous requirement.
Any sewer overflows that reach surface waters or exceed 1000 gallons (on the ground) must be
reported within 24 hours to the Division. (Reporting after hours or on weekends and holidays should
be to the Division of Emergency Management at 1-800-858-0368 or 1-919-733-3300). A follow-up 5-
day report (blank form attached) is also required which verifies the cause of the spill and any actions
taken to diminish the impacts and to prevent a recurrence. A press release to all electronic and print
news media outlets that provide general coverage in the county where the discharge occurred is
required within 48-hours of first knowledge of the spill for all discharges of at least 1000 gallons to
surface waters. If there is a spill of at least 15,000 gallons to surface waters a public notice must
also be issued in a newspaper having general circulation in the County where the spill occurred and
in the County immediately downstream. Contact this office if you need any forms or further
information on this topic. Records of the spills that are less than 1000 gallons and do not reach
surface waters should also be maintained as this information can be utilized to identify obstructions
to the lines or excessive infiltration / inflow (1/1).
Overflows should be estimated as accurately as possible and attached is one suggested way to
accomplish such calculations. If you have developed other ways to estimate the overflow and you
feel that they are reliable, please do not change the process that you use, but we would like for you
to share your process with us. Please call Steve Mauney to discuss this item or send a copy of your
procedure to this office.
When a spill is reported, the beginning time for the spill should be the time that you first had
knowledge of the spill (not arrival time for your crew). In some few cases there will be evidence to
show that the spill began even before your first knowledge and that information can be used to
determine the best estimate of the starting time for the spill (dead fish in creek at the site or
downstream and even the size of the pooled sewage in the area around the sewer).
Please recognize that in accordance with the recent determination by the Director of the Division of
Water Quality, enforcement for SSOs will become a high priority for the Division. The decision to
enforce will be based on factors including but not limited to, volume released, volume reaching
surface waters, duration, gravity, impacts to public health, fish kills and money saved by non-
compliance. This office will be increasing the level of oversight, compliance and enforcement
relating to collections systems and thus we wanted to be sure you are aware of the requirements for
these systems. You may wish to check the website on collection systems at:
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.uslperesICollection%20SvstemsICollectionSystemsHome.html
It is recommended that older sewer systems and systems that have experienced repeated overflows
have at least 10% of the system cleaned each year. Smaller systems not experiencing overflows,
should consider cleaning half of the system every five years or 1/3 every three years and a record of
this information should be maintained for review.
If you have conducted an evaluation of your collection system in the last 5 years, please provide the
summary from that study for our records. If major improvements are planned or have been made in
the last 5 years please advise us also. Should you have any other questions concerning the
requirements relating to collection systems, please contact Steve Mauney at 336-771-4969.

The High Country Council of Governments has contacted the North Carolina Rural Water
Association (NCRWA) regarding the Town of Lansing's recent Compliance Evaluation
Inspection conducted by the Division of Water Quality. Testing for water Inflow and Infiltration
(I/I) is offered by the NCRWA. The NCRWA conducts these tests using liquid smoke, and the
only charge is the cost of the liquid smoke used during the testing. However, the NCRWA
requires that each Town have in place an OSHA approved confined space entry program before
they can loan the portable electronic equipment necessary for locating major I/I sources in the
Town's sewerage system. sew.5ar, CouId USe st 40
Additionally, the NCRWA provides electronic flow meters for the Town's staff to install, and the
NCRWA staff collects the water flow data periodically - especially after rain events. The
collected data is then analyzed by NCRWA staff and a short report is drafted highlighting the
areas with the worst I/I conditions. There is a waiting list for I/I test, which can range from a few
days to several weeks. Should the Town of Lansing be interested in completing these tests, the
High Country Council of Governments would be happy to contact NCRWA on the Town's
behalf in order to obtain more specific information regarding the cost for the liquid smoke and
the smoke test waiting period. Also, we are available to meet with Town staff and Tim Church
to discuss how the Town would like to proceed.
We also understand that Town of Lansing engineers will be completing the Preliminary
Engineering Report for the new well shortly. High Country Council of Governments staff is
available to meet with the Town to investigate grant funding availability for this important
project. Please let us know if we can help you plan this project and develop a grant application.

Dear Mr. Tedder:
The following actions have been taken to address observations and comments resulting from the
compliance evaluation inspection conducted March 4, 2008 by Mr. George Smith.
Inflow and Infiltration
Smoke testing was performed on the entire collection system by Mr. Fred Summers of the North
Carolina Rural Water Association on May 21 and 22, 2007. A major source of I/I was located at
the former Lansing Elementary School which was found to have its roof drains connected to the
sewer system. This situation has been corrected by the property owner.
Based on information supplied by the Lansing Town Clerk, two additional sources were removed
at the homes of Mr. Mike Powers and Mr. Dale Worley. Seven additional 1/I sites remain and the
property owners are cooperating with the Board of Aldermen to make necessary repairs. This
work is expected to be completed by this Fall. Those sites are identified as follows.
Mack Powers, Ernie Carpenter Building, Delray Worley, Johnnie Eller, Presbyterian Church,
former Grace Baldwin house, town line in Lester Roop field.
Installation of New Flow Measurement Device
The Town has selected B.W. Allen Company to install a Stevens AxSys CCR Wastewater
Flowmeter and 6 inch circular chart recorder. It will be equipped with 4-20 mA output to
accommodate flow proportional sampling. The cost of this project is $3,930.00.
Due to budget restraints this work is scheduled to be completed immediately after the start of the
coming fiscal year, beginning July 1, 2008.

Dear Mr. Church:
On October 16, 2013 an inspection was performed by George Smith. Mr. Tim Church, ORC, was
present. The inspection is comprised of an overall evaluation in order to document compliance and
noncompliance of. facilities equipment, capability to meet effluent limits, and terms & conditions
with the NPDES permit.
Permit
Your NPDES permit became effective August 1, 2011 and expires March 31, 2016.
As discussed during the previous inspection, the Town may request a permit flow of 30,000 gpd,
thereby, changing the sampling requirements to a grab sample. This can be done during your permit
renewal application.
Records & Reports
An activity log was also kept in the building, which logs operator visitation and plant operations. All
certificates of analytical analysis were kept on file along with chain of custody forms.
Please submit the annual 2012/13 s ss�performance report as required. It is due on the fiscal year
or calendar year.
Calibration records for pH, total residual chlorine, and temperature were documented.
In summary, the records and reports documentation by Mr. Church is considered to be excellent.

Facility Site Review
The influent manual barscreen is maintained.
The two influent pumps work on alternating cycles and appeared to operating properly, and there was
no evidence of overflows.
Both blower pumps were operational, and delivering a gentle rolling action in the aeration basin.
The aeration appeared to have old brown foam with approximately 50% coverage on the basin. Mr.
Church feels they may have been hit with a slug of grease. The old sludge appearance needs some
attention.
There was no evidence of straggler flock or solids from the up -flow clarifier cone unit. The discharge
was clear. The backwash system is functioning properly.
The Sanuril tablet chlorination unit was installed in the final effluent contact tank. One of the four
tubes is used for disinfection. The unit is satisfactory.
An in -ground tablet dechlorinator (Sanuril model) was installed. Sodium bisulfite tablets are used in
one tube.
Flow Measurement
The recording flow chart is operating, and measures the height of water measured in inches passing
through a 60' V-notch weir.
The flow calibration log and charts were kept on -site for at least 3-years, and were well documented.
The flow meter was calibrated and documented on October 15, 2013.
Laboratory
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC), Temperature, and pH are performed and recorded on the Daily
Monitoring Report (DMR). The field parameters (TRC, Temp, pH) are currently performed under
field parameter certification #5419.
The pH is performed with a Hach Sension 1 meter using a two -point calibration (pH 4 & 10) and a
mid -range check (pH 7), which is considered satisfactory.
Mr. Church performs a temperature calibration against a NIST traceable thermometer.
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) is measured with a Hach DR2500, which is capable of detection
to permit limit of 28 ug/L. The annual 5-point calibration is scheduled to be performed during
October 2013.

Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent was clear with no color or solids present at the time of inspection. Big Horse Creek,
Class C-trout, HQW waters, appeared to be clean with no visible impacts.
Operations & Maintenance
Mr. Tim Church is a grade IV operator and is the current ORC. Mr. Fred Walters is the Grade II
back-up operator.
The facility and grounds are maintained in excellent condition.
Plant -Pro (Chlorine 68%) is used for disinfecting, and Plant -Pro (Sodium bisulfite) is used for
dechlorination. They appear to work well.
Settleability test is periodically performed as process control to judge the operational performance of
this facility. For the most part, operation & maintenance is judged by observing plant performance.
Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from January 2012 through August 2012 showed no
monitoring or limit violations.
The effluent composite sample is collected with an Isco Model 2910 using the flow proportion
method at 200 mU 1000 gal.
Sludge Disposal
The sludge removal is contracted through Doug Cox septic service and hauled to the Town of
Jefferson WWTP.
The compliance evaluation inspection is considered satisfactory. If you have any questions please
contact George Smith or me at [phone].

Subject: Dechlorination for Lansing WWTP
George,
As per the recent CEI for Lansing WWTP I have looked into the cost of a tablet dispenser for the
addition of the dechlorination tablets to the effluent. I agree this will be a more effective means of
doing the job. The unit cost is minimal. However installation will require a moderate amount of labor.
My assistant and I will probably do this ourselves and charge the town for the labor. It will require a
small excavator to expose the effluent line and we will probably install a small vault in which to enclose
the tablet dispenser.
I have not shared this with the aldermen, but I do not anticipate any reluctance on their behalf.
I will probably inform them in the March meeting. (Feb. meeting date has passed)
If there is not a pending deadline for completing this work, I was hoping to wait until we have some
consistently
warm weather, (April, May) to get this done. Thanks for your assistance. See you later.
Tim

NPDES Permit # NCO066028
Ashe County
Dear Mr. Church:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On January 24, 2012 an inspection was performed by George Smith. Mr. Tim Church, ORC, was present. The
inspection is comprised of an overall evaluation in order to document compliance and noncompliance of facilities
equipment, capability to meet effluent limits, and terms & conditions with the NPDES permit.
Permit
Your NPDES permit became effective August 1, 2011 and expires March 31, 2016.
As discussed during the previous inspection, the Town may request a permit flow of 30,000 gpd, thereby, changing
the sampling requirements to a grab sample. This would have been something to consider while the permit was in the
renewal process.
Records & Reports
An activity log was also kept in the building, which logs operator visitation and plant operations. All certificates of
analytical analysis were kept on file along with chain of custody forms.
Calibration records for pH, total residual chlorine, and temperature were documented.
In summary, the records and reports documentation by Mr. Church is considered to be excellent.
Facility Site Review
The influent manual barscreen is maintained.
The two influent pumps work on alternating cycles and appeared to operating properly, and there was no evidence of
overflows.

Both blower pumps were operational, and delivering a gentle rolling action in the aeration basin.

The aeration basin was a brown color with white colored foam covering less than 20% of the surface of the basin.
There was no evidence of straggler flock or solids from the up -flow clarifier cone unit. The discharge was clear. The
backwash system was functioning properly.
The Sanuril tablet chlorination unit was installed in the final effluent contact tank. One of the four tubes is used for
disinfection. The unit is satisfactory.
A sodium bisulfite tablet dechlorination tube was placed after the effluent weir in order to meet the total residual
chlorine limit of 28 ug/L.
A tablet dechlorinator will need to be installed after the effluent weir box. (Such as a Sanuril model)
Flow Measurement
The recording flow chart is operating, and measures the height of water measured in inches passing through a 60' V-
notch weir.
The flow calibration log and charts were kept on -site for at least 3-years, and were well documented.
The flow meter was calibrated documented on September 17, 2011.
Laboratory
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC), Temperature, and pH are performed and recorded on the Daily Monitoring Report
(DMR). The field parameters (TRC, Temp, pH) are currently performed under field parameter certification #5419.
The pH is performed with a Hach Sension 1 meter using a two -point calibration (pH 4 & 10) and a mid -range check
(pH 7), which is considered satisfactory.
Mr. Church performs a temperature calibration against a NIST traceable thermometer.
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) is measured with a Hach DR2500, which is capable of detection to permit limit
of 28 ug/L. The annual 5-point calibration was performed on December 16, 2011.
Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent was clear with no color or solids present at the time of inspection. Big Horse Creek, Class C-trout,
HQW waters, appeared to be clean with no visible impacts.

Operations & Maintenance
Mr. Tim Church is a grade IV operator and is the current ORC. Mr. Fred Walters is the Grade II back-up operator.
The facility and grounds are maintained in excellent condition.
Plant -Pro (Chlorine 68%) is used for disinfecting, and Plant -Pro (Sodium bisulfate) is used for dechlorination. They
appear to work well.
Settleability test is periodically performed as process control to judge the operational performance of this facility.
For the most part, operation & maintenance is judged by observing plant performance.
Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from January 2011 through October 2011 showed no limit
violations.
The effluent composite sample is collected with an Isco Model 2910 using the flow proportion method at 200 mL/
1000 gal.
Sludge Disposal
The aerated digester was approximately 50% full at the time of the inspection. The sludge removal is contracted
through Doug Cox septic service and hauled to the Town of Jefferson WWTP.
Action Items
Please evaluate a tablet dechlorinator to be installed after the effluent weir box. Please respond, in writing by
February 24, 2012, on the timetable that this will be installed.
The compliance evaluation inspection is considered satisfactory. If you have any questions please contact George
Smith or me at [phone].

*Stream segment reclassified as C, HQW in December 2010
BACKGROUND
The Town of Lansing operates a 0.05 MGD wastewater treatment facility that serves the Lansing
community, population 150. The current Lansing WWTP facility began operation in 1989 and
discharges treated 100% domestic wastewater into Big Horse Creek. In December 2010 this
segment of Big Horse Creek was reclassified as C, HQW water in the New River Basin. Big
Horse Creek was classified as C, Trout, HQW water prior to this reclassification.
Untreated domestic wastewater enters the plant headworks where it flows across a manual bar
screen and collects in a sump. A composite sampler collects influent samples from the well.
Pumps then transfer the wastewater to the aeration basin where blowers provide the aeration. The
wastewater then continues to a clarifier module. The liquid continues from the clarifier, through
a tablet chlorinator, through a chlorine contact chamber, and through a tablet dechlorinator. The
treated wastewater flows through a flow weir with records effluent flow volumes and is then
discharged into Big Horse Creek. An effluent composite sampler collects samples after the
meter.
When needed the clarifier cones are backwashed and diverted to the aerobic sludge digester. As
needed the sludge in the digester is dewatered and hauled by a contractor to Jefferson WWTP for
disposal. The Region has noted that this type clarifier system may not be as efficient at
maximum permitted flow conditions.
There have been some historical problems with undersized and/or poor performing blowers for
the aeration basin but they were resolved.

NPDES NCO066028

HISTORY
Level B models were conducted for this permitted discharge based on a stream class C and
supported secondary treatment standards (designated by the model as water quality limiting) for
BOD, TSS, and pH with no additional limits on ammonia or dissolved oxygen. The secondary
standard to meet 85% removal of TSS and BOD was also implemented at some point, at or
before 2001.
Instream and effluent monitoring for fecal coliform was required in 1996. Fecal limits were
added in 2001 based on the impact to the receiving stream, compliance was deferred for one
year. The instream fecal monitoring requirement was removed in 2006 as it did not apply. The
TRC limit was also added in the 2001 permit and compliance was deferred for one year. The
installation date of the tablet dechlorination system is unknown.
The ammonia toxicity was evaluated in 1988 and the Division determined no ammonia limits
were required but ammonia monitoring was required. No WET testing was required.
COMPLIANCE
Since 2006 several incidences of unreported and/or missing DMR data did occur but were
reconciled with the Regional Office. The fecal coliform limits were exceeded on several
occasions in late 2009 and early 2010. No fines were accessed.

TRC, Fecal Coliform Compliance and Ammonia Toxicity
A narrative footnote defining the measurement reporting and compliance protocol for TRC will
be added to this permit. Rechecked the IWC % impact on TRC limit, Fecal Coliform limits, and
ammonia toxicity monitoring and confirmed existing permit requirements remain valid.
Receiving Stream Reclassification
The reclassification of the receiving stream removed the Trout designation. Based on WQS the
dissolved oxygen minimum standard is reduced to 5.0 mg/1 as compared to the Trout
classification of 6.0 mg/l. This does not affect any of the facility existing permit requirements.
HQW Rules
This facility meets existing permitting criteria. However, if this facility ever expands or replaces
this treatment works, the HQW rules for new/expanding facilities will apply.

Contacted George Smith, WSR inspector, to discuss the February 2011 inspection report. Per
Mr. Smith there are no issues and he recommends we update the component list narrative.
SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES
In keeping with Division policies the following will be incorporated into the permit:
• A new TRC footnote narrative will be added to define the reporting and measurement
protocols.
• The supplemental page treatment component description will be updated to include all
significant items.
• The receiving stream narratives will be updated to list the stream December 2010
reclassification designation.
The physical facility address will be corrected.

Dear Mr. Church:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
On February 22, 2011 an inspection was performed by George Smith. Mr. Tim Church, ORC, was present. The
inspection is comprised of an overall evaluation in order to document compliance and noncompliance of facilities
equipment, capability to meet effluent limits, and terms & conditions with the NPDES permit.
Permit
Your NPDES permit became effective April 1, 2006 and expires March 31, 2011.
As discussed during the inspection, the Town may request a permit flow of 29,000 gpd, thereby, changing the
sampling requirements to a grab sample. This should be done before the new permit is issued.
Records & Reports
An activity log was also kept in the building, which logs operator visitation and plant operations. All certificates of
analytical analysis were kept on file along with chain of custody forms.
Calibration records for pH, total residual chlorine, and temperature were documented.
In summary, the records and reports documentation by Mr. Church is considered to be excellent.
Facility Site Review
The influent barscreen is maintained.
The two influent pumps work on alternating cycles and appeared to operating properly, and there was no evidence of
overflows.

Both blower pumps were operational, and delivering a gentle rolling action in the aeration basin.
The aeration basin was a brown color with white colored foam covering less than 20% of the surface of the basin.

There was no evidence of straggler flock or solids from the up -flow clarifier cone unit. The discharge was clear. The
backwash system was functioning properly.
The Sanuril tablet chlorination unit was installed in the final effluent contact tank. One of the four tubes is used for
disinfection. The unit is satisfactory.
A sodium bisulfite tablet dechlorination tube was placed after the effluent weir in order to meet the total residual
chlorine limit of 28 ug/L. This treatment may be functioning properly because the facility only receives 20% of the
permitted flow. In the future, the facility may need a dechlorination box after the effluent weir. This will be
evaluated in future inspections.
Flow Measurement
The recording flow chart is operating, and measures the height of water measured in inches passing through a 60' V-
notch weir.
The flow calibration log and charts were kept on -site for at least 3-years, and were well documented.
The flow meter was calibrated by BW Allen and documented on November 11, 2010.
Laboratory
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC), Temperature, and pH are perfon-ned and recorded on the Daily Monitoring Report
(DMR). The field parameters (TRC, Temp, pH) are currently performed under field parameter certification #5419.
The pH is performed with a Hach Sension 1 meter using a two -point calibration (pH 4 & 10) and a mid -range check
(pH 7), which is considered satisfactory.
Mr. Church performs a temperature calibration against a NIST traceable thermometer.
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) is measured with a Hach DR2500, which is capable of detection to permit limit
of 28 ug/L. The annual 5-point calibration was performed.
Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent was clear with no color or solids present at the time of inspection. Big Horse Creek, Class C-trout,
HQW waters, appeared to be clean with no visible impacts.

Operations & Maintenance
Mr. Tim Church is a grade IV operator and is the current ORC. Mr. Fred Walters is the Grade II back-up operator.
The facility and grounds are maintained in excellent condition.
Plant -Pro (Chlorine 68%) is used for disinfecting, and Plant -Pro (Sodium bisulfite) is used for dechlorination. They
appear to work well.
Settleability test is periodically performed as process control to judge the operational performance of this facility.
For the most part, operation & maintenance is judged by observing plant performance.
Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from January 2010 through December 2010 showed a weekly
average limit violation for Fecal Coliform during November 2010.
The effluent composite sample is collected with an Isco Model 2910 using the flow proportion method at 200 mL/
1000 gal
Sludge Disposal
The aerated digester was approximately 50% full at the time of the inspection. The sludge removal is contracted
through Doug Cox septic service and hauled to the Town of Jefferson WWTP.
The compliance evaluation inspection is considered satisfactory. If you have any questions please contact George
Smith or me at [phone].

Dear Mr. Ring:
This is to inform you that the Division of Water Quality has not received your monthly monitoring report
for June 2009. This is in violation of Part II, condition D(2) of the NPDES permit, as well as 15A NCAC
213 .506(a), which requires the submittal of Discharge Monitoring Reports no later than the last calendar
day following the reporting period. Failure to submit reports as required will subject the violator to the
assessment of a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation. You will be considered noncompliant with
the self -monitoring requirements of your NPDES permit until the report has been submitted.
To prevent further action, please submit said report within fifteen (15) days of receipt of this notice.
Additionally, this letter provides notice that this office will recommend the assessment of civil penalties if
future reports are not received within the required time frame during the next twelve (12) reporting
months. The Division must take these steps because timely submittal of discharge monitoring reports is
essential to the efficient operation of our water quality programs. We appreciate your assistance in this
matter. If you have any questions about this letter or discharge monitoring reports, please contact me at
919-807-6388.
Sincerely,
Ma reen Scardina
