Box 1090 Shelby, NC 28151 Subject: Notice of Violation / Notice of Intent to Enforce Unpermitted Wastewater and Sludge Discharge Dicey Mills Pond Closure 430 Neisler Street, Shelby, Cleveland County BIMS Incident #201901069 Tracking #: NOV-2019-DV-0285 Dear Mr. Neisler: Chapter 143, Article 21 of the North Carolina General Statutes (G.S.) authorizes and directs the Environmental Management Commission of the Department of Environmental Quality to protect and preserve the water resources of the State. The Division of Water Resources (DWR) has the delegated authority to enforce adopted water pollution control rules and regulations. On June 13, 2019, a discharge of wastewater and sludge from Pond 4 at the subject facility was reported to DWR. The material was discharged to an unnamed tributary of the First Broad River during the process of pond closure as a result of not fully following a Division of Waste Management approved Pond Closure Plan. A visit to the site by DWR staff on June 14th confirmed that some residual sludge remained in the unnamed tributary, but that the wastewater had continued downstream and into the First Broad River. Dicey Mills does not have an active permit to discharge wastewater and sludge to surface waters from the Division. It is the Division's understanding, based on subsequent email correspondence, that the sludge has been removed from the unnamed tributary and the Division appreciates your attention to this matter. However, as a result of the violation described in this Notice, our office is considering a recommendation for assessment of a civil penalty. If you wish to present an explanation for the violation cited, or if you believe there are other factors which should be considered, please send such information in writing within ten (10) days following receipt of this letter. Your response will be reviewed and taken into consideration prior to the assessment of any civil penalties. �`+ North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources E �Jl .

PLACE VISITED: Morris Scrap Metal Co., Inc. business site PHYSICAL LOCATION: 2045 Shelby Road/Kings Mountain/NC RIVER BASIN: Broad REASON FOR VISIT: Investigation to determine stormwater permit status. COPIES TO: Cleveland County Health Department REPORT: On September 1, 2009, this Office received a complaint regarding concerns with the stormwater runoff at the Morris Scrap Metal Co. business site. Mr. Wes Bell of this Office met with Mr. Chris Morris, Morris Scrap Metal Co., on September 11, 2009 to determine if the facility would qualify to be covered under a Stormwater Permit. The Morris Scrap Metal Co. is involved with the recycling and resale of scrap iron/metals and new and salvage steel, etc. The business site is bordered by two drainage ditches that converge to one at the back of the property. All stormwater runoff from the business site and adjacent Shelby Road is collected in these drainage ditches. Both drainage ditches converge to a single ditch and discharge the stormwater into an unnambed tributary to Beason Creek. No flow was observed in the drainage ditches at the time of the inspection. The facility has not applied for coverage under a Stormwater Permit. Mr. Bell observed oil on the ground and in several small puddles of water at the vehicle parts storage area. This storage area is adjacent to one of the drainage ditches. These oil discharges were observed on both sides of the storage area. Vehicle parts (and other mechanical parts) were being stored on the ground and in metal cylindrical containers. Several used oil filters had also been placed on the ground behind the machinery that cuts and bails the metal materials. No oil stains were observed in either of the drainage ditches at the time of the inspection. Mr. Morris indicated that all used oil is collected in 55 gallon plastic drums and periodically removed by a contracted company. Complaint Investigation Page Two Mr. Bell discussed the stormwater permitting requirements and environmental regulations pertaining to this inspection with Messrs. Chris and Neil Morris. Messrs. Chris and Neil Morris were courteous and helpful throughout this investigation. A follow-up inspection may be necessary to verify the facility's permitted status (stormwater) and all cleanup activities (oil discharges). - • - r O�Oi W A TF9Q r o � Mr. Kennon Fitch 2242 Hoey.

I. FINDING OF FACT A. Kennon Fitch is the owner of record for several tracts of land located at 1919 Kings Road in Cleveland County, North Carolina. B. Kennon Fitch conducted land disturbance along several tracts of land located at 1919 Kings Road in Cleveland County. C. On October 18, 2006 and February 14, 2007, North Carolina Division of Land Resources (hereby known as DLR) inspected the site and determined that land disturbance had exceeded one (1) acre and that an approved erosion and sedimentation control plan had not been issued for land disturbing activities. . D. For construction activities disturbing one or more acre of land, Stormwater General Permit Number NCGO10000 is required. This permit is issued to all owners and operators of stormwater point source discharges associated with construction activities including clearing, grading and excavation activities resulting in the disturbance of land. E. DWQ and DLR file review confirmed that Kennon Fitch was not issued or covered by General Stormwater Permit No. NCGO10000 for the site in accordance with G.S. 143- 215.1(a) and Title 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (hereby known as NCAC) 2H .0126. F. On October 31, 2006, DWQ staff conducted a site inspection of the above tract and observed that approximately 350 linear feet of stream had been impacted from the placement of fill and deposition of sediment up to 18 inches deep within the stream channel. G. Title 15A NCAC 2B .0211 (2) requires that "The waters shall be suitable for aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture; sources of water pollution which preclude any of these uses on either a short- term or long-term basis shall be considered to be violating a water quality standard." [Cennon Fitch Cleveland County Page 2 of 3 H. The impacts occurred to an unnamed tributary to Hickory Creek, Class C waters within the Broad River Basin. I. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures in this matter totaled $415.78. Based upon the above Finding of Fact, I make the following: II. CONCLUSION OF LAW A. Kennon Fitch is a "person" within the meaning of G.S. 143-215.6A pursuant to G.S. 143- 212 (4)• B. The unnamed tributary to Hickory Creek located at the site constitutes waters of the State within the meaning of G.S. 143-212 (6). C. Under G.S. 143-215.1(a)(11), a permit is required to cause or permit discharges regulated under G.S. 143-214.7 that result in water pollution. D. On one (1) occasion, Kennon Fitch failed to secure a General Stormwater Permit NCGO10000 in accordance with G.S. 143=215. 1 (a), G. S. 143-214.7, and Title 15A NCAC 211.0126. E. On one (1) occasion, Kennon Fitch violated Title 15A NCAC 2B .0211 (2) by impacting approximately 350 linear feet of stream from the placement of fill and deposition of sediment up to 18 inches deep within the stream channel. F. Kennon Fitch may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A (a)(1), which provides that a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per violation per day may be assessed against a person who violates any classification, standard, limitation, or management practice established pursuant to G.S. 143-214.1, 143-214.2, or 143-215. G. Kennon Fitch may be assessed civil penalties in this matter pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A (a)(2), which provides that a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per violation per day may be assessed against a person who is required but fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1, or who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of such permit or any other permit or certification issued pursuant to authority conferred by this Part. H. Kennon Fitch may be assessed civil penalties pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A (a)(6) which provides that a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per violation may be assessed against a person who violates a rule of the Commission implementing this Part, Part 2A of this Article, or G.S. 143-355(k). I. The State's enforcement cost in this matter may be assessed against Kennon Fitch pursuant, to G.S. 143-215.3 (a)(9) and G.S. 14313-282 (b)(8). Kennon Fitch Cleveland County Page 3 of 3 J. Tom Reeder of the Division of Water Quality, pursuant tQ delegation provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, has the authority to assess civil penalties in this matter.

DECISION Accordingly, Mr. Fitch is hereby assessed a civil penalty of: for violation ofNCGS 143-215.1 for failing to obtain an NPDES State General Stor n Water Permit (NCGC010000). for violation of 15A NCAC 2B .0211 (2) (Preclusion of Best Usage) by the excessive deposition of sediment in the stream and the stream fill. $ TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY $ 415.78 Enforcement Cost TOTAL AMOUNT DUE W As required by G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of penalty I considered the factors set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are: (1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violations; (2) The duration and gravity of the violations; (3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; (4) The cost of rectifying the damage; (5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; (6) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally; (7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and (8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures Date Tom Reeder Division of Water Quality DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY ENFORCEMENT CASE FACTORS Type: Violations of Water Quality Standards and NPDES State Storm Water Permit Violator: Mr. Kennon Fitch Address: 2242 Hoey Church Rd. Shelby, NC 28152 Location: 1919 Kings Road Cleveland County Regional Office: Mooresville 1. The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violations: Mr. Fitch is the owner of the site located at 1919 Kings Rd. in Cleveland County. Purpose of the work at the site was to prepare the area for construction. Approximately 350 linear feet of stream was impacted due to the placement of fill and sediment accumulations as result of the fill and clearing/grading at the site. 2. The duration and gravity of the violations: The stream fill has removed the channel from use for the aquatic community. The sediment accumulation impedes the aquatic function of the stream. Since the site visit in October 2006 no restoration work has been performed to remediate the stream impacts. Sediment continues to move downstream. 3. The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality: The fill placed in the stream destroyed the stream's integrity. As such, the riffle pools, streambed substrate, and the respective biotic habitat available for aquatic life had been destroyed. 4. The cost of rectifying the damage: The cost for rectifying the damage to the environment is difficult to determine. The primary costs would result from the removal of the fill and sediment and the restoration of the stream channel. The cost associated with damage to aquatic habitats and the time for the stream to function as it did prior to the impact is unknown. 5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance: The failure to go through the proper channels to develop the site represents monies saved by the violator. No sediment and erosion plan was developed, and no storm water records were being maintained/kept. 6. Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally: There is no evidence to suggest that the impacts were committed willfully or intentionally; however, the violator should have been aware of the laws/rules related to impacting waters of the State. 7. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority: DWQ/Mooresville Regional Office has no record of any previous enforcement against Mr. Fitch. S. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures. Central Office Review and Processing = $ 100.00 9.0 hours by investigators for investigating and drafting report(s) @ 20.10/hr. _ $ 180.90 3.0 hour by Water Quality Regional Supervisor for review @ $39.96/hr. _ $ 119.88 1 hour for clerical support @ $15.00/hr. = S 15.00 TOTAL = $ 415.78 9. Type of violator and general nature of business (i.e. individual vs. large corporation): Mr. Fitch is a private individual. 10. Violators degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or restore or recalcitrance): Mr. Fitch failed to respond to the Notice issued or to contact DWQ in any manner. The Division of Land Resources has taken legal proceeding against Mr. Fitch for his lack of cooperation in this matter. 11. Mitigating circumstances: There are no mitigating circumstances. 12.

During the investigation it was observed that approximately 350 linear feet (If) of stream had been impacted.due to fill being placed in the stream and from sediment deposition. Up to 18"of sediment was observed in the stream channel. This letter is being issued as a Notice of Violation and Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement for the removal of best usage of the waters pursuant to 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 02B .0211 (2) and failure to acquire a State General Storm Water Permit (NCGO1000). Based on this Office's inspection'of the site, the following violation was observed: NCAC 213 .0211 (2): Preclusion of Best Usage The sediment deposition in the stream resulted in the loss of use.6f the channel for aquatic life. Specifically, 15A NCAC 2B .0211 (2) states that the preclusion of best usage, which includes "... aquatic life propagation and maintenance of biological integrity, wildlife, secondary recreation, and agriculture ..." represents a water quality standard violation. Storm Water General Permit A storm water permit is required for any land disturbances exceeding one acre. The permit is issued upon approval of a Sediment and Erosion Control Plan (SECP) from the Division of Land Resources. The permit requires the installation of a rain gauge, regular inspections of storm water discharges, erosion control devices, and record keeping. As of this notice it is this Office's understanding that you have failed to secure an approved SECP from the Division of Land Resources, thus a storm water permit. All work should cease at the site and the area stabilized until a SECP and storm water permit has been obtained. This office requires that the violation(s) be abated immediately. If you have an explanation for the noted violation(s) that you wish to present, please respond in writing within fifteen (15) days following the date of receipt of this notice.

PHYSICAL LOCATION: 1537 Bethlehem Road, Kings Mountain/Cleveland County RIVER BASIN: Broad REASON FOR VISIT: Investigation regarding illegal discharges of oil. COPIES TO: Cleveland County Health Department On June 8, 2006, this office was referred a complaint from the Division of Air Quality regarding oil being discharged onto the ground from the metal storage containers located at the C&C Scrap Iron and Metal, Inc. business site in Kings Mountain/Cleveland County. Ms. Polly Lespinasse and Mr. Wes Bell, both of this office, investigated the complaint on June 9, 2006. Ms. Lespinasse and Mr. Bell met with Mr. Dennis Conner, Owner, at the business site. Soil contamination was observed adjacent to the storage areas housing engine blocks, large machinery parts, and metal clippings. The oils (including used motor oil, cutting oils, etc.) had pooled on top of the contaminated soil in several areas. Note: These materials were being stored directly on the ground. Soil contamination was also observed at a second storage area (metal container) adjacent to Bethlehem Road. The bottom section of the metal container (also housing metal clippings) was stained and appeared to be the origin of the oil discharge. In addition, the driveway leading to the metal container had several oil stains resulting from equipment maintenance/leakages. No direct discharges to surface waters were observed. The Division issued Stormwater General Permit No. NCG200342 for this facility on January 19, 2001 (effective date) with an expiration date of October 31, 2005. The facility had developed a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP); however, only annual qualitative monitoring and facility inspections were performed (twice per year required). Annual analytical monitoring was being performed according to permit requirements: however, the documentation was not organized or readily available. Mr. Bell recommended that all documentation associated with the facility's stormwater- permit be organized and kept in one file. Engineering Consulting Services, Inc. was contracted by Mr. Conner for assistance in permit compliance. Complaint Investigation. Page Two Ms. Lespinasse and Mr. Bell discussed the requirements of the facility's stormwater permit and relevant environmental regulations pertaining to this incident. Mr. Bell recommended a thorough review all requirements listed in the stormwater permit to ensure the SPPP is current and being properly incorporated. In addition, Mr. Bell recommended the storage of metal products containing any oils, greases, etc. be placed on an impervious surface with proper cover to prevent stormwater and soil contamination. Mr. Conner was very courteous and helpful throughout this investigation. A follow-up investigation by this office may be necessary to very the facility's compliance status with the stormwater permit and the on -site remedial actions. C&C SCRAP IRON & ME.rA�., INC. P.O.

According to City of Shelby Utility personnel, the overflows occurred on or before April 9, 1996. Specific violations of NCAC 2H .0219(h)(3)(A) and NCAC 2H .0219(h)(5), (7), and (8) noted during Mr. Parker's site visit include: No stand-by generator or dual power source, no audible or visual high water alarm, access to the pump station was not restricted (gate was unlocked), and there was no all-weather roadway into the site. Although both pumps were observed to be working, the control panel was in need of repair, and the surrounding vegetation needed removal to allow for routine facility maintenance. City utility employees also indicated to Mr. Parker that they receive an unusual amount of calls from area residents concerning problems related to the pump station. In light of the on -going problems, it is requested that a written response be directed to this Office by no later than June 4, 1996 detailing action taken to bring this facility into proper operational condition and compliance with the above referenced regulations (copy attached). The response should also indicate that you have established a maintenance program, providing for inspection of the station on a routine basis (at least weekly). A maintenance log must be kept at the pump station to record action taken, if any during the visits. 919 North Main Street, �� FAX 704-663-6040 Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer Voice 704-663-1699 - - 500k recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper Mr. David Royster May 20, 1996 Page Two `It is also our understanding that this pump station serves a small residential development that has recently been annexed by the City of Shelby.

Please find enclosed some photographs we took at the pump station located off Melrose Drive in Shelby. As is evident in the photographs, the station was observed to be in a state of deterioration, overgrown, and neither pump would operate. The pump station is owned by Mr. David Royster. He had the station constructed to service a small housing community that is located just South of town. The City utilities department does not manage this station in any manner. We request that measures be taken by your office to insure that this station is returned to good working order and maintained to prevent overflows into the receiving waters.
