As you will recall, the e-mail communication of April 10, 2012 from City of Locust
Administrator James Inman to Robert Krebs, and related correspondence was forwarded to me
for review and comment. I offer the following interpretation of the controlling statutes and rules,
and an analysis of case law for your consideration.'
In short, I advise DENR that requiring two signatures on an application for new flows to
the force main owned by Locust and Stanfield is correct. Therefore, if the City of Locust wishes
to proceed with submission of an application for increased flows, DENR may require the
application to be signed by authorized representatives of Locust and Stanfield.
The "Intra-Governmental Agreement Between The Town of Stanfield and the City of
Locust" (the Agreement) executed on or about March 19, 1997 provided, inter alia, for the
funding and construction of a force main for sewage, ownership by each municipality of a fifty
percent interest in the force main, and sharing in all costs of construction and maintenance. The
City of Locust ("Locust") has expressed its understanding that as one of two fifty -percent owners
Locust may submit a new flows application without the Town of Stanfield's ("Stanfield")
assent. Stanfield's Town Administrator, Robert Harvey, disputes Locust's position and counters
that the Agreement creating 50/50 ownership for the force main also requires a dual signature
application from both municipalities.2
This letter of advice is the opinion of the writer. This letter has not been reviewed or approved in accordance with
the Attorney General's procedure for issuing a formal opinion.
2 Stanfield's interpretation is expressed in an e-mail of April 9, 2012 from Robert Harvey to Rob Krebs & Barbara
Sifford.

As Locust has acknowledged, the ownership and possessory rights in the force main
were created for Locust and Stanfield, each with a fifty percent undivided interest. Although
both municipalities own an interest in the force main, the property itself cannot be divided.
There is no portion of this system that clearly belongs to Locust only. Similarly, there is no
portion clearly belonging only to Stanfield. While the municipalities' interests in the property
may be divisible, the property itself is not. Since Locust and Stanfield are co -tenants, or at least
in a relationship analogous to co -tenancy, neither can act on the commonly held property to bind
the other if such action is not authorized in advance or subsequently ratified by the other. See
Hinson v. Shugart, 224 N.C. 207, 210, 29 S.E.2d 694, 696 (1944).
More specifically, the controlling North Carolina Administrative Code provision
requires that an applicant for new flows actually be the receiving collection system's (i.e. the
force main's) owner or that the applicant attach a "letter of agreement from the [force
main's]owner" if the owner did not submit the application himself. 15A NCAC 2T.0304(h)
(2012). This pertinent regulation provides that "the owner" (emphasis added) must take certain
actions and make certifications in the application process. The regulatory language "the owner",
as opposed to "an owner" suggests strongly that 15A NCAC 2T.0304 envisions "the owner" as a
single entity. Furthermore, as a matter of statutory interpretation, N.C. Gen. Stat. §12-3 provides
that a singular number can be applied to the plural noun and the plural number to the singular
noun, unless doing so is contrary to the context of the statute being applied. In other words,
"owner" includes two municipalities with identical property interests in a collection system.
There is no qualifying provision in either the NCAC or the Application that requires
DENR to accept an application from an owner of e.g. "an undivided interest in the force main."
The most rational readingof the germane documents is to require an application with dual
signatures representing that both Locust and Stanfield consent. Requiring an authorized signature
from Locust and Stanfield is further strengthened by the absence of any language within the
Agreement granting authority to one municipality to act as the other's agent.
In conclusion, DENR would be acting within the plain meaning of the regulatory
language and reasonably exercising its authority to interpret the regulations it is mandated to
administer by requiring Locust and Stanfield to sign the application for new flows to the
collection system.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Barbara,
The G.S. Statues referenced below are not PWS Section rules and regulations. He needs to speak with the Stanly County
Environmental Health Department. The 15A NCAC 18A 1937 are the rules associated with ground absorption sewage
disposal and treatment. They should be able to answer his questions.

with and public water supply issues. Mr. Harvey discussed this with Bill on his last visit with them.

Subject: Question Permits?
Barbara,
Sometimes the answers are simple when looking at the rules that regulate us. Take the following two;
1.State Public Health Law
§ 130A-65. Liens for sewer service charges in sanitary districts not operating water
distribution system; collection of charges; disconnection of sewer lines.
In sanitary districts which maintain and operate a sewage system but do not maintain and
operate a water distribution system, the charges made for sewer service or for use of sewer
service facilities shall be a lien upon the property served. If the charges are not paid within 15
days after they become due and payable, suit may be brought in the name of the sanitary district
in the county in which the property served is located, or the property, subject to the 1ien,_may
be sold by the sanitary district under the same rules, rights of redemption and savings as are
prescribed by law for the sale of land for unpaid ad valorem taxes. A sanitary district is
i

authorized to adopt rules for the use of sewage works and the collection of charges. A sanitary
district is authorized in accordance with its rules to enter upon the premises of any person using
the sewage works and failing to pay the charges, and to disconnect the sewer line of that person
from the district sewer line or disposal plant. A person who connects or reconnects with
district sewer line or disposal plant without a permit from the sanitary district shall be guilty of
a Class 1 misdemeanor. (1965, c. 920, s. 1; 1983, c. 891, s. 2; 1993, c. 539, s. 949; 1994, Ex.
Sess., c. 24, s. 14(c).)
2.Title 15A
15A NCAC 18A.1937 Permits: (a) Any person owning or controlling a residence, place of business, or place of
public assembly containing water -using fixtures connected to a water supply source shall discharge all
wastewater directly to an approved wastewater system permitted for that specific use.
Question;Should a municipality exerting their authority given by State law properly notify the water service
provider that the residence, business,etc. is no longer connected to an approved wastewater system be required
to disconnect the water service as required by their water distribution peiinit (compliance with Title 15A
NCAC 18A.1937 Permits) ?
Thanks, Bob Harvey

safety and health issues. When we disconnect the pump the raw sewage will pump onto the ground out the vents
if the water is not disconnected to the house. I few savvy customers have figured this out and are keeping the
water billed paid to the county as they know the Town would be put into position of having raw sewage
dumping onto the ground. We are in a catch22 when the county will not assist. We also have this problem when
Duke power disconnects the electricity to the house and the tenant's continue using the water and the pump does
not have power. This creates a spill out the vents once the tank fills.Again the only solution is to disconnect the
water to turn the sewer flow off.
The Town council feels that Stanfield as an incorporated town in the state of North Carolina and currently
allowingthe county to serve with a water distribution system within our corporate limits, that we have and must
disconnect individual water customers when the need arises.
We feel that we have a duty to collect for the sewage service and should we exercise our right to disconnect
sewer the water must be turned of due to Health and Safety issues not to mention the power issues with grinder
pumps.
Bottom line it appears the the Health,Safety and environmental issues and excerpts from 15A and the permits
issued for our sewer collection system and the federal Clean Air and Water act give us our authority to protect
the environment citizens health & Safety issues not to mention compliance with all the laws/regs.
The only reasonable way we can see to disconnect sewer service for any reason is to cut the flow (water) off.
We are preparing an Town Ordinance and any help DENR could give in this matter would be appreciated. We
are not seeking any legal opinions rather the tenants based in your understanding of the environmental issues
and concurrence that the flow must stop should the sewage collection system to the house be inoperable for any
reason.
Thanks Bob Harvey

Subject: Sewer Collection Issues
Town of Stanfield
WQCS00325
Dear Collection System Permittee:
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
This letter is to inform you of the Division of Water Quality's new policy concerning sewer collection
issues. In the attached Press Release 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 inall
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 Division is requiring 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 Mooresville 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 applications.

November 26, 2007
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
required. In situations where the owner of the WWTP does not own all of the pump stations, additional
forms must be completed.
If you have any further questions or concerns, please contact Dee Browder, Barbara Sifford or myself at

Responsibility/Liability as "ORC"
MR. WILLIAMS,
To date , I have received no communications regarding the above referenced subject
matter. In an attempt to move forward in a positive manner;
I have been in contact with the Mooresville regional office for the Division of Water
Quality, and spoken with Mrs. B. Sifford. I requested`and received clarification of the
question of responsibility. Mrs. Sifford stated to me that, in the event of a sanitary sewer
overflow(SSO), the regional office would hold the operators for both towns "equally"
responsibility for that event. As a certified operator, this comes as no surprise. I am
reminded every time that the town sends me to school.
All issues that I have attempted to address and resolve in the past, still remain.
All of that said;
I will continue to assume the responsibility as "ORC" for the Town of Stanfield's
portion/responsibility for the above. I will perform the duties as required , per the
following: 15A NCAC 08G..0203

MR FLIEGER,
On Wednesday 04/25/07 I spoke with Mrs. Barbara Sifford, Mooresville Regional Office
of the Division of Water Quality. In that conversation, I requested and received
clarification on issues regarding the above referenced forcemain. In summary, Mrs.
Sifford assured me that the operators for the City of Locust and the Town of Stanfield,
will be held "equally responsible" for any sanitary sewer overflows(SSO) or any other
condition of "non-conformance".
You are a Grade II, certified operator; I would suggest that you review the above
referenced general statutes and the attached listing of the "service connections" and
addresses, to insure compliance and response to a "request for service" from a customer
and/or the necessary procedures to prevent or minimize an SSO.
At this time, due to the unavailability of a more precise operations and maintenance
plan,We will proceed on a "daily and as needed" basis to maintain the integrity of the
system and operate to state requirements. You will be copied on any future
correspondence of matters concering this system. Mr. Brent Holbrooks, due to His
experience over the past seven years with both of our systems, and the construction phase
of the forcemain, will be considered as an additional "Back-up ORC" to this system. He
is an asset to the community and to the operation of this forcemain, please access this
resource.
I request that you contact me and schedule a meeting to discuss a duty schedule and a site
visit to each service connection.

In accordance with your application received on «Application_Received», as well as the additional
information received on Date, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. «Permit_Numben>, dated Date,
to «Owner Name» for the operation and maintenance of the subject wastewater collection system.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until Date (renewal date - no more than 5 years
from permit issuance). This permit shall be subject to the conditions and limitations specified herein. It is
your responsibility to thoroughly review this permit. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and
reporting requirements in this permit. Compliance schedules requiring action and regional office

Permit Condition
Activity
Compliance Date
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly installed
system extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a
separately -owned sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations,
force mains, low pressure sewer systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping,
valves and appurtenances that help to collect, manage and transport wastewater to a wastewater
treatment plant under the Permittee's ownership or maintained and operated by the Permittee through
a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite systems are systems tributary to the Permittee's collection system
but those collection systems are not owned or maintained by the Permittee. The system description
provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant to provide a general idea about the size of the system and
may not be all inclusive of the collection system at the time of permit issuance or afterward.
A release of wastewater from the wastewater collection system is referred to herein as a Sanitary Sewer
Overflow (SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options after a SSO will be determined considering the
criteria listed in condition 1(2) (a) and I (2) (b) of the permit and all other relevant information available or
requested of the Permittee. Compliance with all conditions of the permit as well as all statutes and
regulations pertaining to the collection system must be maintained or appropriate enforcement actions
may be taken as noted in Condition VI(2).

Review Comments
July 18, 2005
General
1. Based on the A/E's certification in the Permit Application that all 15A NCAC 2H .0200
requirements regarding gravity sewers and force mains, and the Division of Water Quality's
Gravity Sewer Minimum Design Criteria adopted February 12, 1996 have been met, a review of
these items has not been performed. It shall be the permittee's responsibility to ensure the plans
and specifications meet the appropriate design criteria and rules. Final approval of these
documents will not imply approval of any variance from these criteria unless specifically
requested and granted. Failure to comply may result in penalties in accordance with North
Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A— 143-215.6C, construction of additional facilities, and/or.
referral of the N.C. Professional Engineer to the licensing board.
2. Provide the pump station design info as requested in the Application, Part V.5.
3. Provide the lengths of vacuum sewers by size to be permitted. (Application Part V.6)
4. Provide buoyancy calculations for the pump station, vacuum valve tanks, and buffer tanks. The
E-One ballast calculations are not acceptable as they do not follow DWQ requirements (see Min.
Design Criteria for PS & FM).
5. A copy of the reliability policy for single-family pump stations is attached. The E-One wetwell
holds only 70 gallons or about 4 hrs and 40 min of storage. The largest power outage is given as
5.5 hrs. The response time to replace a failed pump is not addressed. It is strongly recommended
that an after market wetwell along with the E-One after market pump be utilized. This pump has
the same operating characteristics as the standard E-One pump.
6. Provide a schematic of the pressure sewer layout showing the zones, elevations, etc used in the
model.
7. The computer model appears to show 2 interconnecting zones. The plans appear to show 2
separate non -related zones. Please clarify.
8. Provide calculations showing how the flow per residence was determined for the vacuum system
calculations. The peak flow of .75 gpm per residence given on Page 1 does not agree with the
.63 gpm shown on Page 6.
9. Provide revised pressure sewer and vacuum sewer calculations using a 'C' of 130.
10. The forcemain lengths shown in the model do not agree with those shown in the Application,
Part V.6 (Zone 2 = 325 ft in the model & 250 ft in the Application). Also the plans show 525
feet in zone 1 and 240 feet in zone 2. Please clarify.

11. Clearly distinguish between new lines and existing lines in the vacuum sewer model.
12. Page 6 of the calculations appears to show only 49 total homes on the system. The application is
for 50 homes. Please clarify.
13. Provide a schematic of the vacuum system clearly delineating the longest run used in the design.
Specifications
1. The specifications appear to include many items not used on this project. It is recommended that
any non -applicable sections be deleted to minimize confusion and possible higher that necessary
bids.
2. Section 7, Part 7.04 (b) - The 30 day waiting period for the deflection test can be waived if the
backfill is compacted to 95% maximum density (testing records required.).
3. Section 8, Part 8.02.1 (a) (15) - All water removed by dewatering operations shall be disposed of
in accordance with the NC Sedimentation Pollution Control Act.
4. Project Specifications Grinder PS, Part 5.01 - Provide 1 spare per 10 installed units rather than 1
per 25
5. The specifications do not address the separation requirements between the sewer lines and other
utilities.
6. Specifications are not included for the pressure sewer force main. If the water main
specifications are to be used for the pressure sewers, they should be clearly noted as such.
7. The specifications do not appear to address the installation of pipe in the deep cuts required for
this project. Standard lay back of the trench will cause considerable disruption to traffic or the
adjacent project. Provide directions to the contractor for installation in these areas. It is
recommended that the transition point between pressure sewer and vacuum sewer be reevaluated
to minimize these deep cuts.
Plans
1. Sheet 2, General Note 1 - Provide the phone number for North Carolina One Call.
2. Provide match lines between plan sheets.
3. Sheet 3 - Provide end of line cleanouts on the vacuum lines. See also Sheets 4 & 5. Also
provide a detail of the cleanout.
4. Sheet 5 - Show the end of line cleanouts for the pressure sewers.
5. Sheet 6, ,Valve Pit After Home Hook-up
a. The screen is not optional. It must be included.

b. A backflow preventer must be installed in the service line where the adjacent residence is
located at an elevation greater than the other house on the same pit.
6. Sheet 7, Valve Pit Bedding & Backfill - The anti -flotation collar is shown as optional. This
detail must agree with the requirements of the buoyancy calculations. See General Comment #4
above.
7. Sheet 10, Notes - Notes 3 & 4 appear to be more for the engineer rather than the contractor.
Confirm if these situations exist and provide appropriate details as necessary. See also Sheet 11.
8. Sheet 13
a. Control Panel Detail - The emergency response number must be on the outside of the
box.
b. Buoyancy calculations - These do not comply with DWQ Minimum Design Criteria.
c. Standard Valve Box - This box should contain a check valve isolated by 2 gate/ball
valves.

Policy for Meeting the Reliability Requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0219(h)(2) and (3)
for Pressure Sewers Utilizing Simplex Pump Stations
These rules require that multiple pumps be provided with the capacity to pump peak flow with the
largest pump out of service and to provide power reliability respectively. Simplex pump stations will
only be approved for single family residences, all other pump stations shall be required to meet these
rules. To help ensure protection from overflows for simplex pump stations, the following policy will be
implemented in lieu of requiring dual pumps and power reliability.
The first option for meeting reliability requirements is to provide 24 hours storage in the wet well above
the pump -on elevation as requested in the permit application. However, since this may add to the cost
and make installation difficult in certain areas, another option may be pursued.
Alternatively, the applicant may provide documentation regarding both power reliability and response
times for pump replacement.
In the case of power reliability, 3 years of power history data in the area from the power company must
be provided. The amount of storage required shall be equal to the duration of the longest power outage
(minus catastrophic events such hurricanes). Storage shall be provided above the pump -on elevation.
Note: For class C waters, this is not a variance to the rules.
For response times, the applicant shall provide an estimate of the response time to replace a failed pump.
The estimate shall include time for answering after hours calls, travel time to maintenance shop,
preparing equipment to respond, travel time to site, and time to replace the pump. For existing systems,
the Permittee should indicate if they currently maintains a supply of pumps on hand at this time (a permit
condition). Also, personnel must be on -call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week as well as a phone number
with 24-hour answering service clearly posted on the pump station. Storage shall be provided above the
high water alarm.
These storage requirement are not cumulative, rather, the storage which provides the largest wet well
shall be specified.

Dear Mr. Tucker, 64;4 0-
'
a
Per our telephone conversation today about the Town of Stanfield collection system
in relation to system classification and designated operators, I'm verifying that
you do have three sewer extension permits for construction and operation of the
permitted sewer system. These are designated by permit numbers starting with WQ.
The Town has not yet been asked to submit for the system -wide collection system
permit which focuses on operation and maintenance on the entire system. This
permit number will start with WQCS.
In discussion with Ms. Campbell, we are still unclear as to whether the information
you received indicating your system was a Class I system was an informational item
from someone or a formal letter from our Technical Assistance and Certification
Unit (TACU). If this was a formal classification letter from TACU, you would
complete the Operator Designation Form for the main and back-up ORCs and submit it
to the address on the form. The TACU will then associate the operators with the
Town of Stanfield Collection System. If the information was not a letter from
TACU, then your collection system has not yet been classified and you are not yet
required to designate operators to us at this time.
To accurately track this, I've gone ahead and registered the collection system for
Stanfield to create a tracking number. Your planned collection system ID and
future permit number is WQCS0032'. If you wish, you can fax the materials in
question to me at 919-733-0059 and I can discern whether it was a formal letter or
just information. You can also discuss the matter further with Steve Reid of TACU
at 919-733-0026.
Thank you for trying to solve this mystery! I can be reached at 919-733-5083 x 371
also if further questions.
Sincerely,
Marie Doklovic
