DWQ Form MR-] (11104) North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Pat McCrory Governor May 4, 2015 Dr. Mervyn King Countryside Manor, Inc. P.O. Box 829 Stokesdale, NC 27357 SUBJECT: Compliance )Evaluation Inspection Countryside Manor WWTP NPDES Permit No. NCO073571 Guilford County Dear Dr. King: Donald van der Vaart Secretary On April 30, 2015, Mike Mickey of this office met with Joel King and Ricky Shepherd from Countryside Manor and Mark Nault and Patrick Merritt from Meritech to perform a Compliance Evaluation Inspection on the Countryside Manor wastewater treatment system. The inspection fmdings are detailed below and an inspection checklist is attached. I. Permit The NPDES permit expires April 30, 2016. At renewal, the permit will require that the monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) for Countryside Manor be submitted electronically per new EPA rules. II. Self -Monitoring Program The DMRs were reviewed for the period March 2014 through February 2015. The facility was found to be compliant with the effluent limits in the NPDES permit (see data summary attached). In regards to the permit monitoring requirements, it was noted that one daily effluent temperature value was omitted on July 18, 2014. This issue was previously addressed in correspondence from this office. M. ]Flow Measurement The NPDES permit requires weekly instantaneous flow reporting. It was noted that the operator was simply guessing at the flow values listed on the DMR based on past experience. This is not acceptable. The facility has an operable ultrasonic meter that Countryside Manor is paying to have calibrated annually. The totalized readings from the flow meter should be used for reporting accurate flows on the DMR. As discussed during the inspection, a weekly flow value should be computed by dividing the total flow volume by the number of days between readings. IV. Sludge handling and Disposal Solids are removed from the digester by Gann Brothers Septic Service. The pumping records are maintained by the Countryside Manor maintenance staff. The unit was last pumped on December 19, 2014. 450 West Hanes Mill Road, Suite 300, Winston-Salem, NC 27105 Phone: 336-776-9800 \ Internet: www.ncwaterguality.ore An Equal Opportunity \ Affirmative Action Employer— Made in part by recycled paper Dr. Mervyn King Page 2 May 4, 2015 V. Operations and Maintenance No operation and maintenance issues were noted. Soda ash is added to the aeration basin and alum is added at the splitter box to help the system meet the total phosphorus limit. VI. Facilitv Site Review The existing 0.015 MGD single train in -ground package plant consists of the following: aerated equalization tank, bar screen, aeration basin, circular clarifier, sludge holding tank, tablet chlorinator, contact tank, ultrasonic flow meter, tablet dechlorinator and concrete/rip-rap lined effluent channel. It was noted that sample collection was occurring at the v-notch weir prior to the dechlor unit due to the difficulty in filling samples bottles from the effluent pipe. The monitoring regulations (15A NCAC 2B .0503) state that effluent samples should be collected after all treatment processes. VU. Records/Reports A comparison of the February 2015 monitoring report with the corresponding laboratory data sheets from Meritech showed that the laboratory analytical results were transcribed onto the DMR correctly. However, there was an issue with the transcription of temperature data from the operator's records to the DMR. Many effluent temperature values were off by one degree. Care should be taken when transcribing the field data so that it is accurate. VIH. Effluent/Receiving Waters The system discharges into Troublesome Creek, class "WS-III, NSW" waters in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent was observed clear at the rip rap lined ditch near the creek on the day of the inspection. Should you have any questions concerning this report, please contact Mike Mickey or me at (336) 776-9697. Sincerely, AII V_ 4_- �ru Sherri V.

P.O. Box 829 Stokesdale, NC 27357 SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Countryside Manor WWTP NPDES Permit No. NCO073571 Guilford County Dear Dr. King: John E. Skvarla, III Secretary On May 7, 2014, Mike Mickey of this office met with Ernie Newman and Ricky Shepherd from Countryside Manor and Mark Nault, ORC, and David Merritt from Meritech to perform a Compliance Evaluation' Inspection on the wastewater treatment system serving Countryside Manor. The treatment facility was found to be in compliance with the effluent limits of the NPDES permit, except for two daily maximum violations. The inspection findings are detailed below and an inspection checklist is attached for your records. I. Permit The NPDES permit was issued effective June 1, 2011 and expires April 30, 2016. Please note that upon renewal, your permit will specify a date for you to begin submitting DMRs electronically per the new EPA rules requiring NPDES permittees to electronically submit DMRs. - H. Self -Monitoring Program The monthly self -monitoring reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period March 2013 through February 2014. The facility was found to be compliant with all NPDES effluent limits, except for one daily maximum fecal coliform violation that occurred on March 18, 2013 and one daily. maximum TSS violation that occurred on December 5, 2013 (see data summary attached). These violations were previously addressed by correspondence from our office. In regards to the permit monitoring requirements, it was noted that all sampling was performed per the frequencies specified in the permit. One paperwork issue noted involves the permittee signature on the back of the DMR. Currently, Marc Nault is signing the back of the DMR forms. The permit [Part H, Section B(11)] requires that the permit holder sign all reports unless a duly authorized representative has been designated. If you wish for someone to continue to sign for you, please submit a Delegation of Signature Authority letter for our files (see example letter attached). III. Flow Measurement The NPDES permit requires weekly instantaneous flow reporting. Flow values reported on the DMR are obtained using an ultrasonic meter with v-notch weir. The ORC documents the weekly totalizer readings on a log book kept in the blower building. Carolina Technical Services last calibrated the meter in August 2013. Please make sure that the flow meter is calibrated in 2014 per Part H, Section D(3) of the permit. N.C.

Sludge Handling and Disposal Solids are removed from the digester by Gann Brothers Septic Service for disposal at the Town of Madison WWTP. Pumping records are maintained by the Countryside Manor maintenance staff. V. Operations and Maintenance The facility appeared to be competently operated and maintained. Due to a recent plant upset and subsequent TSS issues, a polymer is being mixed in a bucket and added to the aeration basin to temporarily aid settling. In addition, soda ash and alum are regularly added at the splitter box to help the system meet the total phosphorus limit. VI. Facility Site Review The existing 0.015 MGD single train in -ground package plant consists of the following: aerated equalization tank, bar screen, aeration basin, circular clarifier, sludge holding tank, tablet chlorinator, contact tank, ultrasonic flow meter, tablet dechlorinator and concrete/rip-rap lined effluent channel. Sampling typically occurs at the v-notch weir prior to dechlorination due to the difficulty in obtaining a sample from the effluent pipe. VH. Records/Reports A review of the facility files indicates that all records are being maintained according to the permit. A comparison of the February 2014 self -monitoring report with the corresponding laboratory data sheets from Meritech showed that all values were transcribed onto the DMR correctly. One issue was noted with the reporting of total phosphorus quarterly averages on the DMR. A quarterly phosphorus computed average should not be listed in the total phosphorus column under parameter code 00665. Only the monthly average should be listed under that parameter code. You can create another column for the quarterly total phosphorus value to assist in judging compliance (without the parameter code and daily values in that column). VHI.

Has the permittee submitted a new application? Is the facility as described in the permit? # Are there any special conditions for the permit? Is access to the plant site restricted to the general public? Is the inspector granted access to all areas for inspection? Comment: A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports (DMRs) for the period March 2013 through February 2014 found the Countryside Manor WWTP to be compliant with the effluent limits, except for one daily maximum fecal coliform violation that occurred on 3/18/13 and one daily maximum TSS violation that occurred on 12/5/13. In addition, it was noted that all monitoring was performed per the frequencies specified in the permit. One paperwork issue noted involves the permittee signature on the back of the DMR. Currently Marc Nault is signing the DMR. The permit [Part II, Section B(11)] requires that.the permit holder sign all reports unless a duly authorized representative has been designated by the permittee. If you wish for someone to continue to sign for you, please submit a Delegation of Signature Authority letter for our files (see example letter attached).

Any other use of ultrasonic extraction is considered a "significant modification" of the EPH Method. Ref: MADEP, May 2004, Rev. 1.1, Table 4. Comment: The laboratory uses a modified version of the soil/sediment extraction process from the MADEP VPH method, substituting acetone for methanol. Comment: The complete list of approved EPH extraction procedures for water and soil/sediment samples is presented in Table 4. Alternative extraction procedures other than those listed are acceptable, provided that the laboratory can document acceptable matrix- and petroleum product -specific performance. However, use of an alternative extraction procedure is considered a "significant modification" of the EPH method pursuant to Section 11.3.1.1 and as such would preclude obtaining "presumptive certainty' status for any analytical data produced using an alternative EPH extraction procedure.

A Division letter dated August 14, 2001 states: "This letter serves as notification to facilities with effluent permit limits for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) that effective July 1, 2002, the Division of Water Quality expects these facilities to utilize an instrument or method that will detect and measure TRC concentrations to levels that are below the permit discharge requirements. Please note that if a facility has no effluent limit for TRC (just a monitoring requirement), then use of a hand-held meter, sometimes described as a pocket colorimeter, and the reporting of <100 pg/L as a TRC value is acceptable. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State have determined that in the interest of overall program equity, to ensure water quality protection, and to comply with 15A NCAC 2B .0505 (e) (4), the Division will require all facilities with TRC limits to utilize instruments or methods that will produce detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements for TRC." The laboratory was using a pocket colorimeter at all of the NPDES permit facilities listed in the above comment and they all have low level TRC limits. It was determined that the laboratory initially purchased a meter capable of low level TRC analysis, but returned to using the pocket colorimeter when the meter did not work well. The laboratory has been using the pocket colorimeter since approximately 2009. A Notice of Finding for Immediate Response (NOFIR) was issued to the laboratory regarding this issue and a copy was provided to the Winston-Salem Regional Office staff. The laboratory replied to the NOFIR with an acceptable curve verification on an approved meter and indicated that the approved meter would be put into use beginning June 9, 2014. No further response is necessary for this finding. Recommendation: The inconsistencies between the benchsheets used by the two field units are the cause of several of the Field Parameters Findings. Merging the existing benchsheets into one or creating a new benchsheet (to be used by both units) that will encompass all of the needs for both units is recommended.

II. GENERAL COMMENTS: The laboratory was clean and well organized. The facility has all the equipment necessary to perform the analyses. Analytical data pertinent to each certified analysis was filed in an orderly manner and was readily available for inspection upon request. Laboratory personnel were accessible to answer questions that arose during the inspection. Some laboratory documentation was incomplete, inaccurate and additional quality control procedures need to be implemented. The laboratory must take steps to bring operations into compliance with changes in federal regulations, particularly 40 CFR Part 136 Methods Update Rules; the most recent was published on May 18, 2012. Many Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) were in direct conflict with method and/or regulatory requirements, did not describe in detail how procedures are performed and personnel were not always following the procedures as described in the SOPs. The laboratory is reminded that any time changes are made to laboratory operations; the laboratory must update the Quality Assurance (QA)/Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) document(s). Any changes made in response to the Findings, Recommendations or Comments listed in this report must be incorporated to insure the method is being performed as stated, references to methods are accurate, and the QA and/or SOP document(s) is in agreement with approved practice and regulatory requirements. In some instances, the laboratory may need to create a SOP to document how new functions or policy will be implemented. The laboratory must also take steps to insure that all personnel are aware of the changes made; that they have fully implemented those changes and steps have been taken (e.g., detailed SOPs and guidance documents, documented training and demonstration of proficiency with new procedures, etc.) to prevent recurrence of findings. The requirements associated with Findings A, N, 0, P, Q, T, HH, KK, YY, ZZ, LLL, MMM, and HHHH have been implemented by our program since the last inspection. III. FINDINGS, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Documentation Recommendation: The laboratory currently maintains only the most recent SOP revision date. It is recommended that SOP review dates, in addition to revision dates, be maintained. It is recommended that SOPs include a revision and review history with relevant dates (e.g., effective, review and revision dates) and a brief description of the change(s) made. Recommendation: Copies of each reference method are included in each SOP. However, the introduction section, which lists the approval year for Standard Methods methods, is not included to verify that the document is actually the most recently approved version.

Thorpe, Ph.D., Acting Director Division of Water Quality August 14, 2001 Dear NPDES Pemuttee: This letter serves as notification to facilities with effluent permit limits for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) that effective July 1, 2002, the Division of Water Quality expects these facilities to utilize an instrument or method that will detect and measure TRC concentrations to levels that are below the permit discharge requirements. Please note that if a facility has no effluent limit for TRC (just a monitoring requirement), then use of a hand-held meter, sometimes described as a pocket colorimeter, and the reporting of <100 ug/L as a TRC value is acceptable. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State have determined that in the interest of overall program equity, to ensure water quality protection, and to comply with 15A NCAC 2B .0505(e)(4), the Division will require all facilities with TRC limits to utilize instruments or methods that will produce detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements for TRC. North Carolina has hundreds of NPDES permitted facilities that are required to limit the amount of TRC that is discharged from their effluent to the receiving waters of the State, Typically these limits are set at either 17 or 28 micrograms per liter (ug/L) of wastewater discharged. The EPA has approved two methods for low-level TRC analyses: the Amperometric Titration Method and the DPD Colorimetric Method. The Amperometric Titration Method is a classic chemistry analysis performed in a laboratory setting. Larger facilities with on -site laboratories frequently use this method and achieve reliable, low- level results of their testing. Many permitted facilities with TRC limits are small and/or have no on -site laboratory. Because TRC must be analyzed within 15 minutes of sample collection due to its volatile nature, these facilities are not able to send these samples out for analysis to a commercial lab. They must rely on a field technique, which will typically utilize the low-level DPD Colorimetric Method. There are portable instruments available that have the capability of analyzing TRC in the range of 10-15 ug/L. The Division realizes that changing the method of TRC measurement will not be without difficulty on the part of the permittees, The permittees will have to evaluate and purchase or otherwise obtain access to instruments and become both educated and proficient in their use. Please be advised while these instruments are advertised as portable, permittees may have to prepare special on -site facilities to ensure their most reliable operation. For these.reasons, permittees will not be required to use the more sensitive instruments until July 1, 2002.

Easley, Governor State of North Carolina William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary Department of Environment and Natural Resources Coleen H. Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality In a previous letter dated August 14, 2001, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) notified NPDES permittees that water/wastewater treatment facilities with Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) effluent limits would be required to use analytical methods that produce detection levels below their permit limit by July 1, 2002. [Note: TRC permit limits are typically set between 17 to 28 ug/1 for discharge to freshwater systems, and 13 ug/1 for discharge to saltwater systems]. This requirement was based on an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) audit of the NC enforcement program. It was also necessary to ensure water quality protection and compliance with state monitoring regulations [15A NCAC 2B.0505(e)(4)]. Since that time, DWQ has received several inquiries regarding difficulties with the new analytical methods, primarily focused on 1) lack of precision with field instrumentation at low TRC levels for both water and wastewater treatment plants; and 2) manganese interference with TRC measurement at several water treatment plants. Some facilities have overcome these problems through various changes, such as: 1) switching dechlorination chemicals; 2) adding a second dechlorination feed; 3) changing analytical methods; 4) incorporating manganese correction; 5) switching to UV disinfection; 6) removing sludge from water treatment plant settling basins. Also, the DWQ Laboratory Certification staff have provided extensive field assistance for the new lab methods. Still, some analytical issues remain. In response to the permittee's concerns, the Division is providing the following changes to its TRC requirements: ❑ TRC Compliance Level Changed to 50 ug1l. DWQ continued discussions with EPA regarding analytical difficulties with TRC measurements, and in March 2008 received EPA approval to allow '.a 50 ug/l TRC compliance level. This will not change the analysis, annual verification of meter performance, or data reporting, but simply how the reported values will be evaluated by DWQ from a compliance standpoint. Facilities will still be required to report actual results on their monthly DMR submittals, but for compliance purposes all TRC values below 50 ug/1 will be treated as zero. For example, if the facility has a TRC limit of 17 ug/1 and reports a TRC value of 40'ug/1 on the DMR, this value will be considered compliant under this new policy. This new compliance level is effective March 1, 2008 (beginning with March 2008 DMR submittals). . DWQ will continue to incorporate TRC effluent limitations into NPDES permits for all water/wastewater treatment facilities that discharge chlorine -bearing wastestreams to surface waters. While this new TRC compliance level of 50 ug/1 is effective beginning March 1, 2008, it will be incorporated into existing NPDES permits with TRC effluent limits upon permit renewal. At that time, the following TRC footnote language will added to the Effluent Limitations Sheet: "The facility shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC certified laboratory including field certified. However, effluent values below 50 ug/1 will be treated as zero for compliance purposes."

P.O. Box 829 Stokesdale, NC 27357 SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Countryside Manor WWTP NPDES Permit No. NCO073571 Guilford County Dear Dr. King: Natural Resources Dee Freeman Secretary On February 15, 2012, Mike Mickey of this office met with Ernie Newman and Mark Nault, ORC, to perform a Compliance Evaluation Inspection on the wastewater treatment system serving Countryside Manor. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: an in office file review and an on -site inspection of the treatment facility. The attached EPA inspection form notes the eight (8) areas that were evaluated. The findings and observations are outlined below: I. Permit The NPDES permit was recently reissued with an effective date of June 1, 2011. 111. Self -Monitoring Program The monthly self -monitoring reports (DMR's) were reviewed for the period January 2011 through November 2011. The facility was found to have violated the quarterly average phosphorus limit on two occasions during the above time frame (see data summary attached). These violations were previously addressed by correspondence from this office. Total phosphorus levels began improving in October with the addition of aluminum sulfate. In regards to the permit monitoring requirements, it was noted that all sampling was performed per the frequencies specified in the permit. Ill. Flow Measurement The NPDES permit requires weekly instantaneous flow reporting. Flow values reported on the DMR are obtained using an ultrasonic meter with v-notch weir. Carolina Technical Services last' calibrated the meter in August. IV. Sludge Handling and Disposal Solids are removed from the digester by Gann Brothers Septic Service for disposal at the Town of Madison WWTP. Pumping of the digester occurs at approximately three to four month intervals.

Operations and Maintenance The facility appeared to be competently operated and maintained. No problems or concerns were noted. VI. Facility Site Review The existing 0.015 MGD single train package plant consists of the following: aerated equalization tank, bar screen, aeration basin, circular clarifier, sludge holding tank, tablet chlorination, contact tank, tablet dechlorination and concrete/rip-rap lined effluent channel. Sampling typically occurs at the v-notch weir prior to dechlorination due to the difficulty in obtaining a sample from the effluent pipe. Vli. Records/Reports A review of the facility files indicates that all records are being maintained according to the permit. A comparison of the November 2011 self -monitoring report with the corresponding laboratory data sheets showed that all values were transcribed onto the DMR correctly. Vill. Effluent/Receiving Waters The system discharges into Troublesome Creek, class "WS-III, NSW' waters in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent was clear on the day of the inspection. Should you have any questions concerning this report, please contact Mike Mickey or me at (336) 771-5000. Sincerely, W.

The request was prompted by permit violations for quarterly violations of your phosphorus limits. At the time of my visit Mr. Nault had already researched the problem and set up the addition of soda ash to raise the pH levels, and dosing the aeration tank with aluminum sulfate to flocculate and precipitate the phosphorous. Since the addition of the soda ash and alum, the plant has been in complete compliance. It is my professional opinion that the ORC of this facility will continue working diligently to reduce the amount of phosphorous in the effluent. If I can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me. My e- mail address is: gary.hudson(a-ncdenr.gov.

Patrick Merritt, ORC and Ernie Newman were present for the subject inspection. The inspection consisted of two parts: an on -site inspection of the treatment facility and an in -office file review. The following are the findings from the subject inspection. I. Permit The NPDES permit for the Countryside Manor WWTP became effective on May 1, 2006 and expires on April 0, 2011. II. Records/Reports A daily visitation log was available at the site. Information contained in this daily log included field parameter data. The flow meter calibration Was conducted on August 19, 2009. The Annual Performance Report has not yet been submitted for calendar year 2009.. This report is due by April 1, 2010. Please submit this report to this Office as soon as it is completed. IIl. Facility Site Review The 0.015 MGD treatment works consists of a bar screen, aerated equalization tank, aeration tank, secondary clarifier, aerated sludge holding tank, tablet chlorination, chlorine contact chamber, dechlorination unit and rock step aeration. V. Effluent & Receiving Waters The Countryside Manor WWTP discharges to Troublesome Creek (Class WS-III NSW waters in the Cape Fear River Basin). On the date of the inspection, the effluent appeared free of solids, debris and foam. V..Flow Measurement Flow is required to be measured instantaneously. A Prosonic FMU 861 flow meter is used at the facility. The meter was last calibrated on August 19, 2009. A 22 '/2 ° V-notch weir is used in conjunction with the flow meter. VI. Self -Monitoring Program A review of the discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) for the time period of October 2008 through October 2009 showed that the Countryside Manor WWTP experienced no effluent limitation and/or monitoring violations. VII. Compliance Schedules No compliance schedule to evaluate. VIIl. Laboratory All of the samples are taken to a contract lab (Meritech, Inc.) for analysis.

Operations and Maintenance The facility has experienced difficulties since late January 2010 when a power outage left the system without air for over 12 hours. The system never seemed to recover and has been re -seeded twice. The seed material was taken from Britt Haven Rest Home in Rockingham County. On the date of inspection, the facility had excessive foam in the aeration basin and the clarifier was cloudy. The effluent was relatively clear with no visible solids, foam or debris observed. According the ORC, the dissolved oxygen level in the aeration basin was in the 1.0 to 3.0 mg/L range. It was suggested to the ORC to contact Mr. Gary Hudson, WWTP Consultant with the Division for technical assistance with this issue. The diffusers appeared to be functioning properly and both blowers/motors were operational. The filters are replaced every four to six months. The visual high water alarm for the equalization basin was not functional during the inspection. The visual alarm must be repaired/replaced immediately. No solids, foam or debris was observed in the stream. The upstream sampling point is 100 feet upstream of the discharge and the downstream sampling point is located at NCSR 2103. X. Sludge Utilization/Disposal Solids are removed as necessary by a licensed hauler. The most recent removal occurred on March 1, 2010. ,XI. Pretreatment Stormwater, Pollution Prevention, Multimedia Not applicable for this facility XII. Sewer Overflow No sewer overflows were reported during the review period. XIII.

Sullins Dee Freeman Director Secretary September 25, 2009 Subject: Notification of Jordan Lake Nutrient Requirements NPDES Permit-NC007357-1� Countryside Manor WWTP Guilford County Governor Bev Perdue recently signed legislation to complete passage of rules for the Jordan Lake Nutrient Management Strategy. The Strategy includes a Wastewater Discharge rule (T15A NCAC 02B .0270) that applies to your wastewater treatment facility: Pursuant to Sub -Item (6)(d) of the rule, I am writing to notify you of the nutrient allocations assigned to your facility. This letter addresses only certain provisions of the Jordan Lake Wastewater Discharge rule. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the remainder of this rule. Nutrient Allocations. The Wastewater Discharge rule establishes the maximum loads of nitrogen and phosphorus that can be released from wastewater treatment facilities into the Jordan Lake watershed. The rule provides that these wasteload allocations are to be divided among the existing facilities in proportion to (with specific exceptions) their 2001 permitted flows. It also provides that facilities permitted to discharge 100,000 gpd or more are to receive nitrogen and phosphorus limits equivalent to their individual allocations. Your facility has been assigned nitrogen and phosphorus allocations. The allocations are expressed as annual mass loadings delivered to the lake. Due to foreseeable losses between the discharge point and the lake, they are also expressed as the equivalent discharge loads at the point of discharge. The delivered and the corresponding discharge allocations assigned to your facility are as follows: NCO073571 Delivered Allocation (lb/yr) Transport Factor (%) Discharge Allocation (lb/yr) Total Nitrogen 460 42 1,096 Total Phosphorus 69 38 183 2001 Permitted Flow: 0.03 MGD (as defined in Wastewater Discharge rule) 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Location: 512 N. Salisbury St. Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 Phone: 919-807-63001 FAX: 919-807-64921 Customer Service:1-877-623-6748 Intemet www.ncwaterquality.org One NorthCarolina An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer Mervyn R King Notification of Jordan Lake Nutrient Requirements September 25, 2009 Nutrient Limits. Your facility will not receive new nutrient limits at this time. However, any nutrient limits already in your NPDES permit will remain in effect. If the facilities permitted for less than 100,000 gpd, as a group, approach their allocations for nitrogen or phosphorus, the Division will consider whether nutrient limits are necessary to protect water quality at that time. In the event that nutrient limits become necessary, the limits would equal your facility's discharge allocations. Nutrient Trading. The rule provides that, when one utility connects to another, the allocations held by the closing facility are transferred to the remaining facility. The rule also provides for the trading of allocations among dischargers within each of the major Jordan subwatersheds. Be sure to consult with the Divisions NPDES staff before you consider selling allocation: transactions can have profound implications for your facility and its permit. If you have any questions regarding these allocations, please contact me at (919) 807-6402 or at mike. templeton@ncdenr.gov. Sincerely, Alcc—QU-I� Coleen H. Sullins cc: Miles E.

Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality A Compliance Evaluation Inspection was performed on the Countryside Manor wastewater treatment facility on Wednesday, April 9, 2008 by Corey Basinger of the Winston-Salem Regional Office. Patrick Merritt, ORC was present for the subject inspection. The inspection consisted of two parts: an on -site inspection of the treatment facility and an in -office file review. The following are the findings from the subject inspection. I. Permit The NPDES permit for the Countryside Manor WWTP became effective on May 1, 2006 and expires on April 30, 201 L The new permit was modified to include a Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) limit of 28 ug/1 effective November 1, 2007. An Authorization to Contruct (No. 073571AO1) was issued October 5; 2007 with actual installation completed October 17, 2007. The professional engineer's certification was received on January 18, 2008. II. Records/Reports A daily visitation log was available at the site. Information contained in this daily log included field parameter data. The flow meter calibration was conducted in August 2007. The Annual Performance Report has not yet been submitted for 2007. This report was due by April 1, 2008. Please submit this report to this Office III. Facility Site Review The 0.015 MGD treatment works consists of a bar screen, aerated equalization tank, aeration tank, secondary clarifier, aerated sludge holding tank, tablet chlorination, chlorine contact chamber, dechlorination unit and rock; step aeration. V. Effluent & Receiving Waters The Countryside Manor WWTP discharges to Troublesome Creek (Class WS-III NSW waters in the Cape Fear River Basin). On the date of the inspection, the effluent appeared free of solids, debris and foam. V. Flow Measurement Flow is required to be measured instantaneously. A Prosonic FMU 861 flow meter is used at the facility. The meter was last calibrated in August 2007. A 22 '/2 ° V-notch weir is used in conjunction with the flow meter. VI. Self -Monitoring Program A review of the discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) for the time period of January 2007 through December 2007 showed that the -Countryside Manor WWTP experienced no effluent limitation and/or monitoring violations. VII. Compliance Schedules No compliance schedule to evaluate. VIII. Laboratory All of the samples are taken to a contract lab (Meritech, Inc.) for analysis.
