Mr. Goscicki and Mr. McMillan,
The Division has received and reviewed Union County's response to the Notice of Violation and Recommendation for
Enforcement (NOV-2016-DV-0117).
Based on your response, the Division will take no further action with regard to this Notice.
However, we request that Union County submit a written update on the flow monitoring study (commenced on 21
March 2016) that is referenced in your response dated 30 March 2016. This written update should be submitted no
later than July 1, 2016 to the Mooresville Regional Office.
We take this opportunity to remind Union County of the vital need to maintain compliance with Collection System

Dear Ms. Coto:
A review has been conducted of the self -reported Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO's) 5-Day Report/s submitted by
Union County. The Division's Mooresville Regional Office concludes that the Union County violated Permit Condition
I (2) of Permit No. WQCS00054 by failing to effectively manage, maintain, and operate their collection system so
that there is no SSO (Sanitary Sewer Overflow) to the land or surface waters and the SSO constituted making an
outlet to waters of the State for purposes of G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1), for which a permit is required by G.S.
143-215.1.
The Mooresville Regional Office is providing the Union County an opportunity to provide evidence and justification
.as to why the Union County should not be assessed a civil penalty for the violation(s) that are summarized below:

This Notice of Violation / Notice of Intent to Enforce (NOV/NOI) is being issued for the noted violation. Pursuant
to G.S. 143-215.6A, a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) may be assessed
against any person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or requirements of any
permit issued pursuant to G.S. 143-215.1.

In response to your letter of March 17, 2016 to Cindy Coto, County Manager, requesting additional
information regarding NOV-2016-DV-0117, additional details are provided below. Explanations for the
overflows were on the Overflow Reporting Forms submitted by Union County Public Works (UCPW)
to the NCDEQ.
Incident # Date Location Response
This SSO was the result of a 2-inch galvanized force main breaking at
a coupling. Crews responded, shut the pump station off, used a vac-
201600202 2/1/2016 1900 Rock Hill Rd truck to capture sewer on the ground and pump and haul as required
while the repair was completed.
201600252 2/3/2016 1619 Old Fish Rd
The Grassy Branch outfall hashad issues over several years. I&I has
been identified in the past (2014) and fixed (roof drains at Piedmont
Middle School). During the heavy rains of Fall 2015, the WWTP was
recording higher than normal flows into the plant. Staff believed there
was a broken pipe allowing inflow into the system.
UCPW performed a visual inspection of the outfall during Fall 2015
and performed smoke testing along the entire outfall between
December 2015 and February 2016. The testing identified some
potential storm drainage cross connection issues at the high school,
but did not identify a main source of l&l.
NCDEQ Staff from the Mooresville Office met with UCPW staff
(2/23/2016) and walked the entire Grassy Branch outfall. The
condition of the outfall, MHs, R&Cs, and inserts were in very good
condition. NCDEQ Staff observed no obvious issues or problems to
indicate an I&I problem.
Five flow monitors were installed in the basin on 3/21/2016 to help
identify the source/area of the inflow. As soon as the problem is

identified, UCPW will move to correct and/or repair the problem
immediately.
Union County Public Works continues to invest funds into SSES work, capital improvements,
maintenance and operations to improve the wastewater collection system. If you have any questions,
please feel free to contact Greg Morgan, interim-Superintendent/Backup ORC, at 704-507-0372 or

Union County
Dear Mr. Goscicki:
A review has been conducted of Union County Public Work's self -reported sanitary sewer
overflows (SSOs) 5-day reports for August through October 2015. This review has shown Union
County Public Works to be in violation of the requirements found in Collection System Permit
WQCS00054 and/or G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1). The violations that occurred during these months are
summarized in Attachment A.
Remedial and corrective actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to prevent further
SSOs. As of December 1, 2007, any reportable SSO may be issued a Notice of Violation (NOV)
and some may be assessed a civil penalty. Civil penalties will be issued for SSOs based on the
volume released, the volume reaching surface waters, the duration and gravity, the impacts to public
health, and if they caused a fish kill or recreational area closure. Other factors considered in
determining the amount of the civil penalty are the violator's history of spills, the cost of rectifying
the damage, whether the spill was intentional, and whether money was saved by non-compliance.
Be advised the G.S. 143-215-6A provides for a civil penalty assessment of not more than twenty-
five thousand dollars($25,000.00), or twenty five thousand dollars ($25000.00) per day when the
violation is of a continuing nature, against any person who is required but fails to apply for or to
secure a permit required by G. S. 143-215.1. Penalties may also be assessed for any damage to the
surface waters of the State that result from the unpermitted discharge.
The SSOs noted in Attachment A under violation action as Proceed to NOV/NRE are the overflows
that the regional office has determined after review of the CS-SSO 5-day report that may result in a
civil penalty assessment.

Union County Public Works
Union County Public Works (UCPW) is in receipt of the referenced NOV dated
November 16, 2015, and received in this office on November 18th. The NOV has been
issued as the result of a sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) that occurred within our Twelve
Mile service area during September 2015: UCPW would like to take the opportunity to
present details regarding the cause and remediation of the SSO listed above.
UCPW has sewer personnel on -call for all after hour's emergencies that may arise.
Personnel respond to all sewer -related calls, including lift station alarms, and are typically
on site within one hour.
Incident # 201501137
Union County Public Works has a CIP project currently underway on the East Fork Twelve
Mile Interceptor System to increase capacity in the basin. The project consists of
installing, in place, larger sewer mains and new manholes utilizing traditional excavation
methods, as well as trenchless methods such as pipe bursting. The contractor, BRS Inc.,
and UCPW agreed to allow moving wastewater from the older system to the new system
during installation so flow was not impeded. In order to accomplish this, BRS installed a
"jumper" from the old line to the new line (once the new line was complete, tested, and
accepted).
The location of the "jumper" is between MH #1563 and #8212. The elevations between
MH #1563 (old sewer line) and #8212 (new sewer line) are slightly different causing a
surcharge of wastewater into the old system until it flows into the newly installed sewer

main. This surcharge decreased the velocity of the wastewater, which allowed for solids to
settle, therefore causing a blockage in this part of the collection system._
The actual SSO occurred out of a private sewer service (lateral) which crossed a stream
outside of the UCPW sanitary sewer easement. The lateral was disconnected at a rubber
coupling at the bank of the stream. The combination of the sewer backup, along with the
private lateral being disconnected allowed the wastewater to enter the stream.
Once the SSO was found and the cause of the overflow was determined, UCPW staff
cleared the blockage with a combination jet/vac unit and the SSO was alleviated. UCPW
staff and BRS Inc. staff contributed to the cleanup of the SSO, including the stream. BRS
Inc. met with UCPW onsite to discuss the SSO cause and impact, and BRS has since
installed a bypass pump to alleviate the surcharge as it occurs.
UCPW also discussed the importance of having the private lateral repaired immediately
with the homeowner` at 902 Bradford Place: The owner stated he would take immediate
steps to make the repair.
Comments
UCPW will continue to be proactive in preventing SSO's from occurring in the
future with specific programs, restrictions, enforcements and continuing I&I studies and
prevention. I hope this meets the criteria you have requested. If you have any questions
regarding this response please do not hesitate to contact me at 704-289-3274.

Josh,
After discussions with our design engineer, Hazen & Sawyer, here are our responses to Barbara Sifford's questions:
1. No separate permit was issued for the East Fork Twelve Mile and Davis Mine Creek Interceptor
improvements. This project was considered by DWQ to be maintenance.
2. Because there is no separate permit for this project, we have not prepared certifications for the segments of
sewer that have been replaced. We do have test records for each segment of pipe installed as part of the
project. We plan to prepare Engineer's Certification when the project is complete, but we don't really know
where to send it as there is no separate permit and, therefore, no file at DWQ.
Please be aware that the SSO that occurred in September was located in/near Pilgrim Forest upstream of Mayflower
Court and was on private property outside of our existing sewer easements and beyond the cleanout.
Please let me know if we can assist with any additional questions.

Crooked Creek I & I Study Flow Monitoring Results Meeting Minutes

UNION COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS
Crooked Creek Basin I&I Study
CDM Smith Project No.: 28600-95842
Flow Monitoring Results Meeting
June 4, 2013
10:30 AM
MINUTES
*Action items are noted in bold
1. Introductions and Meeting Purpose
a. Mr. Lapsley opened the meeting and the team members introduced themselves and their
role on the project noting that this was the first meeting since the project kicked off in
January 2013. The flow monitoring data has been collected and the purpose of this
meeting is to review the results of the flow monitoring and plans to move forward with
the analysis and proposed improvements.
2. Review of Flow Monitoring Data
a. Ms. Nesbit summarized the general results of the flow monitoring data noting the
following:
i. The flow meters were installed in early February and removed in late April. The
meter layout provided good coverage of the entire basin with only a small
iuunetered area near FM-15 which is near the Crooked Creek WRF.
ii. We saw good soaking rains with good volume during the monitoring period — we
recorded 5 individual events of 0.75+ inches of rain with average intensity.
iii. The intensity of rains recorded was all less than the 2-5 year storm which is the
typical basis of design for improvements.
b. Ms. Nesbit summarized the data collected from the temporary flow meters noting that the
difference between the average dry weather flow and the peak flows seen during rain is
classified as the Inflow and Infiltration (I/I). Various summary charts and graphs were
reviewed (these are attached to these minutes).
c. The attendees discussed some discrepancies with data collected at FM -I I. Significant
differences in the data collected between FM-9 and FM-1 lseem to indicate either a large
industrial/commercial inflow or some other I/I issue between these two monitors.
Hydrostructures verified this meter with manual measurements several times during the
flow monitoring period to confirm there was not an issue with the meter.
i. It was identified that the plant does have a drain line that leaves the WRF and ties
into the 21-inch interceptor sewer between FM-9 and FM-11. Mr. McKoy noted
that this pipe is —10" in diatneter and carries the filter backwash flow as well as
other plan drains, etc.
ii. The attendees discussed the filter backwashing noting that this could have a
significant impact on the monitoring data. Mr. McKoy noted that on normal days
they backwash each filter cell (total of 6) approximately 1 time. Backwashing
tends to happen in the evening between 8:00 pm and midnight.

S
UNION COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS
Crooked Creek Basin I&I Study
CDM Smith Project No.: 28600-95842
iii. During wet weather/high flow events, the filters can go into a continuous
backwash mode which can contribute significantbackwash flows back to the
interceptor sewer.
iv. Mr. Lapsley agreed to visit the Crooked Creek WRF to investigate this
further with Mr. McKoy to define the pipe size, average flows and backwash
contributions.
d. Ms. Nesbit noted that there were discrepancies between the sum of the flow monitoring
data and the DMR flow data provided by UCPW (in some cases the difference is 20%+,
CDM Smith would prefer the difference be less than 10%). Mr. McKoy confirmed that
the DMR data is from the effluent flow meter (ultrasonic level indicator over a weir). Mr.
McKoy confirmed that the influent flow measurement is via a Doppler type device
installed upstream of the screening structure. Mr. McKoy noted that they have totalizer
data (total daily volumes) in addition to chart recorder data that could be useful in
understanding this difference. Ms. Nesbit also noted the plant backwash/drain line would
account for part of this difference. Mr. Lapsley agreed to visit the Crooked Creek
WRF to obtain the totalizer data and investigate this further.
e. Ms. Nesbit summarized the groundwater inducted infiltration analysis conducted, noting
that the "grey water" system that is present in the Crooked Creek basin does not appear to
be contributing a significant amount of inflow to the system as initially thought.
f. Ms. Moranta summarized the peak flow analysis conducted; noting that CDM Smith
typically likes to see peaking factors less than 3.5. For the Crooked Creek basin, a few
basins were above 5 (including FM-11 which has the above described discrepancy).
Overall the peaking factors were not as significant as CDM Smith has seen for other
municipalities.
g.
Ms. Moranta noted that there were some discrepancies with the data B&V included in the
written master plan versus the data loaded in the model provided to CDM Smith. Mr.
Huneycutt noted that CDM Smith could contact Jeff Coggins at B&V directly to clarify
these issues but should keep him in the loop.
The attendees discussed th(South Fork Pump Station. UCPW confirmed that this station
was designed to allow high flows to be pumped from South Fork to 1 . 411e Creek. When
flow passes approximately'/a pipe of the gravity sewer it overflows to a wet well where
pumps send the flow to 12 Mile Creek. UCPW staff noted that this had not happened in
many years. Mr. Brooks agreed to find and send to CDM Smith as -built drawings
and O&M data of this station.
i. Mr. Morgan noted that UCPW did some minor repairs to Suburban Estates No. 3 during
the flow monitoring period and can provide more data on this if necessary. It was noted
that the booster pump arrangement is located at Suburban Estates No. 1 which is not
actually in the hydraulic model and therefore the booster pump curves previously
requested by CDM Smith are no longer needed.

CDM Smith Project No.: 28600-95842
3. Initial Assessments and Discussion
a. Ms. Moranta discussed the proposed prioritization of subbasins providing general criteria
for which subbasins would receive the most attention based on R value, RDII per linear
foot, and Peaking Factors. Based on these criteria, subbasins 4, 11, and 12 were classified)
as Priority No. 1 and subbasins 1, 10, 14, and 15 as Priority 2.
b. It was noted that subbasin No. 4 has high I/I — UCPW staff noted that this area is prone to
flooding and the existing outfall sewer does not have raised manhole lids or water tight
covers. The outfall does have inflow collectors in the manholes, but the pipe is old, and
high I/I is not surprising.
c. Ms. Nesbit summarized flow monitoring velocity data collected particularly near the
Crooked Creek Influent PS noting that the data collected seems to indicate that Sanitary
Sewer Overflows (SSOs) nay be occurring at manholes near the Influent PS even during
moderate rain events. UCPW staff should keep an eye on these areas especially during
rain events.
d. The attendees discussed the influent pomp station operation as CDM Smith was trying to
understand whether this pump station is a limiting factor in the system. Mr. McKoy
confirmed there are 6 pumps (all sirnilar in size and capacity) --- pump control is
automated based on water level. There are 2 wet wells that are piped together and
therefore the water levels rise and fall together.
i. Mr. McKoy noted that the pumps operate effectively but can occasionally have
problems with ragging.
ii. CDM Smith noted they would like to see any recent draw down test data on the
pumps to verify the pump capabilities. Mr. Lapsley with discuss further with
Mr. McKoy.
4. Data Needs/Confirmation Items
a. The data need/confirmation items were discussed above.
5. Schedule Update — Early Out CIP Project Discussion
a. Mr. Lapsley provided the attendees with an updated project schedule. The project
remains on schedule to complete in early September.
b. The attendees discussed the need to identify and scope out initial Capital Improvements
Projects within the Crooked Creek basin as soon as possible. UCPW would like for this
to occur as soon as definitive projects are identified. Mr. Lapsley agreed and noted that
the current plan is to identify these "early out" projects in late August so that scoping can
begin and the scope/fees/contracts finalized as the overall project is completed.

6. Next Meeting — Late July: Capacity Analysis
a. Mr. Lapsley noted that as shown on the schedule that CDM Stnith would like to have
another meeting with UCPW staff in late July to share the results of the Capacity
Analysis and model update efforts in advance of the alternatives evaluation/analysis. The
attendees agreed this would be valuable meeting.
7. Other Business
a. Mr. Brooks requested a copy of the PowerPoint presentation and flow monitoring graphs
for internal distribution.
b. The attendees spent a few minutes discussing an East Side Sewer System Improvements
project issue. Mr. Lapsley agreed to investigate the issue and follow back up with
UCPW.
8. Adjourn
a. With no further business, the meeting was adjourned.

Main Conclusions Based on Flow Monitoring
Analysis
• Several subbasins showed R values greater than 5%
• Subbasins 4, 11 and 12 were identified as a top priority
based on the volume of RDII entering the system
• Several subbasins showed wet weather peaking factors
greater than 5
• Subbasins 1, 10, 14, 15 were second priority based on the
volume of RDII and peaking factors
• Several meters near the influent pump station showed high
levels of surcharge and should be monitored during storm
events
• Five of the 15 areas had low RDI/I and peaking factors
UNION COUNTY PROGRESS MEETING

Main Conclusions Based on Flow Monitoring
Analysis
• Grey water areas do not appear to correlate to system I/I
)Average dry weather flow from temporary meters is 20%
higher than DMR data
• SSES recommendations will be made during the
development of improvement alternatives

Permit No: WQCS00054
System: Union County Public Works
Mr. Parker,
Union County Public Works (UCPW) is in receipt of the referenced NOV dated
March 8, 2013, and received in this office on March 11. The NOV has been issued as the
result of three (3) sanitary sewer overflows (SSO) that occurred within our East Side
service area as well as our Crooked Creek service area during January 2013. All three
SSOs were associated with intense area rainfall resulting in excessive inflow and
infiltration (I&I) intothecollection system. UCPW would like to take the opportunity to
present details of the affirmative actions currently underway toward mitigating SSOs that
occur in the East Side service area during intense rainfall events and continuing actions
regarding the Crooked Creek service area.
UCPW has sewer personnel on -call for all after hour's emergencies that may arise.
Personnel respond to all high water conditions (alarms) and are typically on site within one
hour.
Incident # 201300162, 201300263
Depending on the severity or level of a high water condition, manual pump
operation may be employed in an effort to prevent or reduce an SSO event. Prevention or
reduction of an SSO is accomplished by manually cycling -off any upstream pump stations.
By cycling -off upstream pump stations, flow can sometimes be reduced at the SSO point.
Upstream pump stations are only cycled off if adequate wet well capacity exists.
Pilgrim's Pride is a large poultry producer that discharges to the East Side
collection system. As part of their pretreatment system, Pilgrim's Pride utilizes a pair of
C:\Users\jbrooks\Documents\josh\SSO'S\NOV Respone Letters\2013\NOV Letter 03-13 -- #2013-DV-0067.doc

UNION COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS
large lagoons. Pilgrim's Pride makes every effort to manage the lagoon freeboard so their
discharge can often be reduced or temporarily stopped at UCPW's request. This reduction
in flow to the East Side system can sometimes prevent or reduce an SSO event.
On March 19, 2012 the Eastside Sewer Improvements project was given a notice to
proceed. The pipeline portion of the project is complete and work on the Eastside lift
stations is scheduled to begin within the next 30 days, including bypass operations to
Monroe WWTP. Completion of the project is scheduled for August 2013. Please see
attached `Eastside Improvements Approval — NCDWQ" for further details, as well as the
latest schedule from Devere, which was presented at the last progress meeting in February
2013.
In addition to the Eastside Sewer Improvements project, UCPW has acquired CDM
Smith to install new flow metering locations within the Eastside service area for billing and.
flow monitoring/tracking. A new meter facility will be installed at Pilgrim's Pride, New
Salem Branch PS (ES #3), Meadows Branch PS (ES #2), and upgrade the meter facility at
Marshville West. The Pilgrim's Pride meter installation has been awarded to State Utilities
and will be moving forward soon.
Incident # 201300161
UCPW hired Black and Veatch to develop an updated Comprehensive Water and
Wastewater Master Plan in 2010-11. In this master plan a number of facilities throughout
the system including water distribution, wastewater collection, and wastewater treatment
were evaluated for any deficiencies and needs. Under this evaluation a preliminary
baseline assessment was completed on the Crooked Creek WWTP Influent Pump Station.
In this preliminary assessment the influent pump station, as it relates to the collection
system, was identified for potential expansion and/or improvements. However, any
capacity improvements to this station would have to be accompanied by improvements at
the WWTP as well.
Union County Public Works and CDM Smith held a meeting on January 16, 2013
to kick off the Crooked Creek Basin I&I Study project. This project is designed to
determine deficient areas within the Crooked Creek Basin and identify a list of
improvements or alternatives to reduce I&I and/or improve collections system and WWTP
capacity. Flow monitors were distributed in key locations among the service area in
February 2013, to extend for approximately 65 days in order to achieve usable data.
Attached is a copy of the January meeting minutes, the proposed project schedule, and flow
monitoring map for your review.

Comments
UCPW will continue to be proactive in preventing SSO's from occurring in the
future with specific programs, restrictions, enforcements and continuing I&I studies and
prevention. I hope this meets the criteria you have requested. If you have any questions
regarding this response please do not hesitate to contact me at 704-289-3274.

Crooked Creek I & I Study Kick Off Meeting Minutes

UNION COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS
Crooked Creek Basin I&I Study
CDM Smith Project No.: 28600-95842
Kick Off Meeting
January 16, 2013
3:00 PM
MINUTES
*Action items are noted in bold
1. Introductions and Meeting Purpose
a. Mr. Lapsley opened the meeting and the team members introduced themselves and their
role on the project.
b. The purpose of the meeting was defined for the team — to discuss the scope of the work,
schedule and overall goals of the project and to discuss near term data needs and plans for
conducting the flow monitoring portion of the work.
2. Project Background and History
a. Mr. Lapsley provided a brief project background and history of how the team arrived at
the project.
b. It was noted that the Black & Veatch Master Plan completed in 2011 included analysis
and recommendations for the Crooked Creek (CC) basin based on a few (3-4) temporary
flow meters dispersed within the basin. The data collected was the basis for some broad
recommendations on how to address peak flows within the CC basin.
c. The recommendations included in the Master Plan included a 1 MG equalization tank and
8 MGD influent pump station/headworks at the Crooked Creek WWTP. UCPW would
like to look at ways to reduce the size and capacity of these improvements and therefore
commissioned this study to further evaluate the basin.
d. The Master Plan also investigated potential for expanding the Crooked Creek WWTP to
treat the high peak flow events. Due to restrictions at the receiving stream for the WWTP
effluent it is likely not feasible to expand the WWTP in a cost effective manner.
3. Project Goals
a. The goals for the team will be to utilize the additional flow monitoring data and modeling
included in the project to focus on the most cost effective set of improvements both in the
collection system and at the CC WWTP to address the peak flow issues in the basin.
These improvements could include some combination of the following:
i. Rehabilitation of existing sanitary sewer pipelines and manholes
ii. Replacement of existing sanitary sewers or installation of parallel relief sewers
iii. Upgrading/expanding the CC WWTP influent pump station and headworks
iv. Construction of a new equalization basin at the CC WWTP

CDM Smith Project No.: 28600-95842
v. Diversion or "scalping" of flows from the CC WWTP and diversion to the 12
Mile Creek WWTP via the Poplin Road PS.
b. At the end of the study the goal will be to have a prioritized set of improvements to be
implemented within the basin to reduce I&I and overall reduce the peak flow conditions
within the basin.
4. Project Team Organization and Communication
a. Mr. Lapsley noted that he would serve as CDM Smith's project manager and that Mr.
Garbark would serve as project manager for UCPW.
b. The team agreed that communication should flow openly and freely between the team
with important discussion items shared with Mr. Lapsley and Mr. Garbark. CDM Smith's
Raleigh based modeling team should feel free to communicate directly with UCPW staff
as we work together to understand the system operation and alternatives for
improvements.
5. Scope of Services Review and Schedule Review
a. Mr. Lapsley shared with the team the proposed project schedule and utilized the schedule
handout (attached) to summarize for the team the planned scope of work for the project.
b. The scope and schedule were summarized as follows:
i. Task 1 to commence in early February will be the flow monitoring period. Flow
monitors will be installed and maintained by Hydrostructures. The flow
monitoring period and data reduction period is anticipated to run from February
through early May 2013.
ii. Task 2 will begin in early May and run through early June and will include the
analysis of the data by CDM Smith in preparation for hydraulic modeling efforts.
iii. Task 3 will include the bulk of the work including updating the hydraulic model
from the Master Plan to include the new flow data and for evaluating various
alternatives to address I&I issues. This is currently schedule for June through
September 2013.
iv. Task 4 will run concurrently with Task 3 and will include a focused effort to
analyze the sizing for the potential equalization tank at the CC WWTP.
v. Finally, Task 5 will wrap up and summarize the findings of the study in a
summary report.
c. The team discussed the project scope and schedule. Mr. Huneycutt noted that as
projects/upgrades are identified through the study that are definitely required to address
Crooked Creek I & I Study Kick Off Meeting Minutes

UNION COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS
Crooked Creek Basin I&I Study
CDM Smith Project No.: 28600-95842
the I&I issue that he would like to see the team begin preparation on scope and budget for
engineering design Contracts for these improvements to expedite the work as much as
possible. Mr. Lapsley agreed to revisit the schedule with the team and work to
identify in the schedule a time frame to determine key "early out" projects in the
basin.
d. Mr. Lapsley noted that there are not regular monthly progress meetings but that the team
will be meeting periodically during Task 3, 4, and 5 to review data, alternatives and
preliminary recommendations in advance of the final report.
6. Initial Data Needs/Data Gathering and Technical Issues
a. The following technical details were discussed (in no particular order):
i. Mr. Morgan noted that UCPW has done extensive CCTV work within the
CC Basin and agreed to provide the WinCAM data to CDM Smith for their
use. It was noted that the data is PACP coded and tied to the GIS of the sewer
system. It is not within CDM Smith's scope to review the CCTV data in detail
but the data can be used to map defects in the collection system.
ii. Mr. Morgan noted that some pump station runtime information was available on
SCADA if needed.
iii. Mr. Sykes noted that Hydrostructures currently intends to mobilize and install the
flow monitors and rain gauges the week of January 28t. Mr. Sykes will
coordinate directly with Mr. Morgan for site access and with CDM Smith if the
proposed meter locations are problematic in the field.
iv. Ms. Nesbit inquired about available permanent meter data within the basin. Mr.
Morgan noted that the CC WWTP has an influent meter that utilizes a chart
recorder for record keeping. The team discussed acquiring the Daily Monitoring
Report (DMR) data from the CC WWTP staff to identify key time frames for flow
data before requesting specific chart recorder data. Mr. Moler agreed to contact
CC WWTP staff to request the DMR data for the last 5 years.
v. Ms. Nesbit inquired about the hydraulic capacity of the CC WWTP and whether
this was the same as the current plant rating. The attendees did not know the
answer to this question. Mr. Lapsley agreed to investigate this further and
check with CC WWTP staff for their thoughts.
vi. Ms. Nesbit inquired about historical Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) data and
whether UCPW has this data recorded. Mr. Morgan noted that they have the data
in excel format including manhole location tags such that the data can be
Geocoded into GIS. Mr. Morgan agreed to provide the historical SSO excel
files to CDM Smith for their use.

vii. Ms. Nesbit inquired as to protocol for contacting Black and Veatch if any
questions come up regarding the existing hydraulic model. Mr. Huneycutt
requested that any initial questions be routed through him initially.
b. The team discussed the proposed flow monitoring and rain gauge location plans with the
following items discussed:
y (Mr. Morgan noted that sites FM 1, FM 2, FM3, FM5, and FM6 would likely see
significant peak flow data as these subbasins include an old "grey water" system
where old septic tank discharges are connected to the collection system. This was
an old system inherited by TCPW that has been a long term I&I problem.
ii. Ms. Nesbit noted that sites FM 4, FM8, and FM10 would be shifted to correspond
to the previous Black and Veatch monitoring sites so that the data from the 2011
Master Plan could be correlated with the new data.
iii. It was noted that site FM 13 is a site of previous surcharges and is on the opposite
side of the road from the CC WWTP influent pump station. Manholes 5222 and
5221 have had observed overflows.
iv. Mr. Morgan noted that FM9 and FM10 are suspected to have high rainfall
induced I&I. Mr. Morgan noted that the Green Meadows basin upstream of FM
10 has had some rehabilitation done in the past.
v. Ms. Nesbit inquired about the site from FM 5; Mr. Morgan noted that there is a
possible manhole that can be used that is within a secured site that UCPW has the
access code for.
vi. Ms Nesbit inquired about shifting FM 6 downstream 2 manholes in order to
capture flow from additional branches draining to Forest Park Pump Station. Mr.
Morgan noted that this area has seen surcharges in the past and that the gravity
line in this area likely needs upsizing. Hydrostructures will investigate hydraulic
conditions and install the flow monitor as close to Forest Park pump station as
possible.
vii. It was noted that Suburban Estates is a mobile home park that has seen surcharges
in the past.
viii. Rain gauge locations proposed were discussed. It was noted that gauge RG1
should likely be moved to the nearby water tower site where it can be within the
secure fence of the water tower. It was also noted that RG 6 could likely be
moved to be at the same location as FM 12 to consolidate sites for
Hydrostructures to visit. RG 3 will be moved to the pump station at South Fork
which is secured and fenced in. The other rain gauge sites were believed to be
appropriate and secure.

Union County
Dear Mr. Niland:
A review has been conducted of the Town of Wingate's self -reported Sanitary Sewer Overflows
(SSOs) 5-Day Report(s) for November 2012. This review has shown Wingate to be in violation of the
requirements found in Collection System Permit WQCS00345 and/or G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1). The
violations that occurred during November 2012 are summarized in Attachment A.
Remedial and corrective actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to prevent further
SSOs. As of December 1, 2007, any reportable SSO may be issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) and
some may be assessed a civil penalty. Civil penalties will be issued for SSOs based on volume, volume
reaching surface waters, duration and gravity, impacts to public health, fish kills, and recreational area
closures. Other factors considered in determining the amount of the civil penalty are the violator's history
of spills, the cost of rectifying the damage, whether the spill was intentional, and whether money was
saved by non-compliance.
Be advised that G.S. 143-215.6A provides for a civil penalty assessment of not more than twenty-five
thousand dollars ($25,000), or twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per day when the violation is of a
continuing nature, against any person who is required but fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by
G.S. 143-215.1. Penalties may also be assessed for any damage to the surface waters of the State that
may result from the unpermitted discharge.

Upon receipt of the Notice of Violation, NOV-2012-DV-0118, a further investigation has
been conducted on the SSO described in "Attachment A". The SSO is listed below with
additional information as requested.
Incident # 201200898
MH 3591
Explanation/Cause of SSO
The SSO that occurred on May 15, 2012 was due to grease/debris buildup in the
sewer line causing a backup to occur. The first knowledge of the spill was at
approximately 1:10 pm and extended until 1:50 pm. This particular area consists of a large
number of residential customers only. There were no prior grease/debris related SSO's that
would have increased inspections of this area or signified a major concern for the FOG
program.
Remediation Efforts
A passerby first noticed the SSO. Personnel and equipment were immediately
dispatched to the area to verify and remedy the situation. After arriving at the location, the
first manhole downstream of the SSO was located and attempts to alleviate the spill began.
Alleviation of the spill consisted of utilizing a Vaccon combination jet/vac unit to clear the
blockage. Immediately following the overflow, numerous line sections were cleaned and

Dear Mr. Snider,
MAR 7 2012
Upon receipt of the Notice of Violation, NOV-2012-DV-0050, a further
investigation has been conducted on the SSO described in "Attachment A". The SSO is
listed below with additional information provided.
Incident # 201200181
Eastside Pump St #1
Explanation/Cause of SSO
The SSO that occurred on January 27, 2012 was a direct result of heavy rain and
thunderstorms that impacted the area. Rain totals from NC CRONOS; Monroe Airport;
KEQY database recorded approx. 0.77" of heavy, continuous rainfall between 3:53a and
4:53a, 1-2 hours prior to the SSO. All pumps and associated equipment were operating
properly and at capacity.
Remediation Efforts
UCPW's efforts will continue to be pro -active in nature to prevent overflows from
occurring. Below is a brief list of some of those efforts as they specifically relate to the
East Side:
• Continued routine inspections of the lift stations on the Eastside, I&I related
inspections and repairs, and line repairs as they are discovered.

UNION COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS
• Continued progress with Town of Wingate and Town of Marshville to control
and/or eliminate sources of inflow and infiltration.
• Continued progress on the Eastside Improvements Project (CIP).
o Current design of the Eastside Improvements Project consists of the
following:
• New force main from PS #3 to Monroe WWTP (bypassing PS #2)
• Remove existing vertical motors and driveshaft to replace with
larger, more conventional pumps at both PS #3 and #2.
• New metering vaults at each PS.
• New magmeter and vault at Monroe WWTP
o Contract has been awarded and anticipated to begin March 15, 2012 with a
construction schedule of approximately 15 months to completion.
Comments
UCPW will continue to be proactive in preventing SSO's from occurring in the future with
specific programs, restrictions, enforcements and continuing I&I studies and prevention. I
hope this meets the criteria you have requested. If you have any questions regarding this
response please do not hesitate to contact me at 704-289-3274.

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment

not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).

Daryl Merritt
PERCS Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for
such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five
factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the
penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting
whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements
contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a
stipulation that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted,
and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
deteiuiining whether a remission requestwill be approved, the following factors
shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the
remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission

must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your
remission request. The response will provide details regarding case status,
directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider
infonluation that was not part of the original remission request considered by the
Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough
statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed
"Request for Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative
Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" fount within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you complete and submit

Dear Mr. Tye:
Dee Freeman

A review has been conducted of the Union County's self reported Sanitary Sewer
Overflows (SSOs) 5-Day Report(s) for January 2011. This review has shown Union County to be
in violation of the requirements found in Collection System Permit WQCS00054 and/or G.S.
143-215.1(a)(1). The violations that occurred during January 2011 are summarized in
Attachment A.
Remedial and corrective actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to prevent
further SSOs. As of December 1, 2007, any reportable SSO may be issued a Notice of Violation
(NOV) and some may be assessed a civil penalty. Civil penalties will be issued for SSOs based
on volume, volume reaching surface waters, duration and gravity, impacts to public health, fish
kills, and recreational area closures. Other factors considered in determining the amount of the
civil penalty are the violator's history of spills, the cost of rectifying the damage, whether the
spill was intentional, and whether money was saved by non-compliance.

surface waters of the State that may result from the unpermitted discharge.
The SSOs noted in Attachment A under violation action as "Proceed to Enforcement " are
overflows that the regional office has determined, after review of the CS-SSO 5-day report, that

NOV-2011-DV-0011
WQCS00054
Union County Public Works
Union County Public Works (UCPW) is in receipt of NOV-2011-DV-0011 regarding a
sanitary sewer overflow. The SSO that occurred on December 11, 2010 was a direct result
of a pump station equipment failure. This spill was not the result of improper system
operation or maintenance and could not have been prevented by reasonable means. Please
consider the information presented below before taking escalated enforcement actions.
Incident # 201003291
Poplin Rd. Pump Station
Explanation/Cause of SSO
Poplin Road PS is a duplex lift station with two (2) 250 hp submersible Flyght pumps with
an average daily flow of approx. 800,000 gpd. In 2009/2010 UCPW budgeted $12,000.00
to conduct a proactive service on one of the pumps (pump "A") at Poplin Rd PS. In the
late summer/early fall of 2009 pump "A" was removed and serviced by ITT
Flyght representatives at their facility and put back in service on October 21, 2009 by ITT
Flyght. In 2010/2011 UCPW budgeted another $12,000.00 to service the second pump
(pump "B"). On December 2, 2010 pump "B" was removed by ITT Flyght representatives
and taken to their facility for service. Pump "A" failed on December 10, 2010 -- being the
only pump in the pump station. Please refer to the ITT Product Repair/Service
Estimate (provided) for further information in regards to the failed pump. ITT
Flyght has taken full responsibility for the pump failure and repair.

UNION COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS
Remediation Efforts
UCPW and Godwin Pumps have set-up contingency plans for numerous lift stations
throughout the UCPW system, including Poplin Road PS, prior to this overflow. Godwin
Pumps was contacted and arrived on -site at approximately 4:30 pm on 12/10, as well as a
local crane service to unload and move the large bypass pump, cumbersome hoses, and
accessories. However, Godwin and/or its employees failed to provide the necessary
equipment/fittings as stated in the plan. After numerous back and forth trips to their local
office in attempts to retrieve the necessary parts and minimal to NO assistance in the
pump's setup, UCPW finally ended up combining pieces from us and the City of
Monroe and got the system up and running at approximately 4:00 am on 12/11.
ITT Flyght's repair staff responded quickly to our request to complete the service on pump
"B" and return it back to the station. On December 14, 2010 at approximately 6:00 pm,
pump "B" was re -installed and operating properly. Pump "A" (failed pump) was re-
installed on February 3, 2011 and operating properly.
Comments
In an effort to resolve the breakdown regarding the bypass pump set-up, I met with the
local representative for Godwin Pumps to discuss the issues. Throughout the past few
weeks Godwin Pumps reviewed, with UCPW staff, all current contingency plans to ensure
proper equipment, fittings, and personnel support will be available in the event another
pump is needed. Godwin has provide a letter stating the corrective measures taken in
regards to communication, equipment, and providing staff for set-up and support.
I have provided copies of both purchase orders to ITT Flyght, detailed invoices of pump
repairs, copy of Lab report for creek samples, copy of Godwin letter, and a copy of the
repair statement from ITT Flyght.
All UCPW pump stations are equipped with either telemetry or supervisory control and
data acquisition (SCADA) systems. UCPW conducts routine pump station inspections on
all stations twice weekly at a minimum, which exceeds NCDWQ check requirements. This
particular pump station was inspected daily due to the removal of one pump. This
inspection schedule helps better ensure that any problems are recognized early and repaired
quickly.
UCPW will continue to be proactive in preventing SSO's from occurring in the future with
specific programs, restrictions, enforcements and continuing I&I studies and prevention. I

RE: Poplin Road Pump Station
Rental Contract# 218001189
This letter is in reference to the events that took place on December 16th, 2010 at the Poplin Road pump
station.
In an effort to prevent any future problems with potential upcoming lift station bypasses, several steps will
be taken to insure smooth delivery and installation.
First, once the initial call is made by Union County that a potential issue has arisen, myself or someone
equally qualified will travel to the site, while preparations are being made at our facility, to determined
exact distances and to verify the size and type of tie in connection.
Secondly, a minimum of at least 2 people will be onsite to assist with the proper installation of the system.
These two steps address the issues experienced with Poplin road, and will help to eliminate any further
issues.
As always, we appreciate your business. If you have any additional questions or comments please do not
hesitate to call me at the Charlotte office [phone] or you can reach me on my cell at [phone].
Sincerely,
GODWIN PUMPS OF AMERICA, INC.

LRepair Servtce4Requi cements and;remarks
During the inspection of your 3231.735 serial #0171049 it was determined this unit was not re -built to factory
specifications, Item # 544-48-02 was inadvertently left on top of the rotor pack it should have been installed
along with the lower bearing stack. When this part dislodged itself it hit the stator causing a phase to phase short
destroying the stator. Following a previous repair, this unit had been put back into service on 10/14/10.Our
standard warranty is one year on the parts, After finding this mistake it is our intent to cover this repair 100%. The
warranty will cover replacement of the stator, bearings, seals and orings. We apologize for any inconvenience this
may have caused. Due to this mistake we have implemented quality assurance measures to prevent this from
happing in the future.

Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(1) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment
A. A civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the teiuis, conditions, or
requirements of a permit in accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with
authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Marcia Allocco, Division of Water Quality
Surface Water Protection Acting Regional Supervisor for the Mooresville Region, hereby make
the following civil penalty assessment against the Union County:
$ 200.00
For 1 of the one (1) violation of G.S. 143-215.1 and 15A
NCAC 2T .0403, by discharging waste into the waters of the
State without a permit for DWQ Incident No.201000484 which
occurred on February 3, 2010.
$ 200.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$ 91.88 Enforcement costs.
$ 291.88 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
(7)
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;
The duration and gravity of the violations;
The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
The cost of rectifying the damage;
The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and

r
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Daryl Merritt
PERCS Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for
such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five
factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the
penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting
whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements
contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a
stipulation that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted,
and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors
shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the
remaining necessary remedial actions.

Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your
remission request. The response will provide details regarding case status,
directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider
information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the
Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough
statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed
"Request for Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative
Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you complete and submit
the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both foinus should be
submitted to the following address:

A review has been conducted of the Union County's self reported Sanitary Sewer
Overflows (SSOs) 5-Day Report(s) for February 2010. This review has shown Union County to
be in violation of the requirements found in Collection System Permit WQCS00054 and/or G.S.
143-215.1(a)(1). The violations that occurred during February 2010 are summarized in
Attachment A.
Remedial and corrective actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to prevent
further SSOs. As of December 1, 2007, any reportable SSO may be issued a Notice of Violation
(NOV) and some may be assessed a civil penalty. Civil penalties will be issued for SSOs based
on volume, volume reaching surface waters, duration and gravity, impacts to public health, fish
kills, and recreational area closures. Other factors considered in determining the amount of the
civil penalty are the violator's history of spills, the cost of rectifying the damage, whether the
spill was intentional, and whether money was saved by non-compliance.

Be advised that G.S. 143-215.6A provides for a civil penalty assessment of not more than
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000), or twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per day when the
violation is of a continuing nature, against any person who is required but fails to apply for or to
secure a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1. Penalties may also be assessed for any damage to the
surface waters of the State that may result from the unpermitted discharge.
The SSOs noted in Attachment A under violation action as "Proceed to Enforcement " are
overflows that the regional office has determined, after review of the CS-SSO 5-day report, that
may result in a civil penalty assessment. You have 20 days from receiving this Notice of
Violation letter to provide any additional justification for the identified SSOs as to why
these spills do not meet the criteria listed in this letter for civil penalty assessment.

Dear Mr. Snider,
MAR3O fOlif
Union County Public Works (UCPW) is in receipt of NOV-2010-DV-0129 regarding a sanitary
sewer overflow. The SSO that occurred on February 3, 2010 was apparently caused by a buildup
of grease in the sewer line. UCPW does have a proactive fats, oil and grease (FOG) program and
line cleaning/maintenance program. This spill was not the result of improper system operation
or maintenance. Please consider the information presented below before taking escalated
enforcement actions.
Incident # 201000484
MH #1547
Explanation/Cause of SSO
First awareness of the spill was at approximately 3:30 pm on February 3, 2010. Adequate
equipment and properly trained personnel were readily available, and as a result, the SSO was
alleviated by 4:30 pm. Approximately 1200 gallons of wastewater spilled.
The service area upstream of the SSO consists of primarily residential customers. There have
been no grease/debris related SSO's associated with this line segment within the past 3 years.
Remediation Efforts
Personnel and equipment arrived at the scene less than 1 hour after first awareness of the
overflow. A combination vac/jet truck was used to clear the blockage and remove as much
grease and debris from the system as possible.
The sewer line was cleaned both upstream and downstream of the overflow location.

Accumulated solids related to the spill were removed and the area covered with lime.
Bilingual door knockers describing proper FOG disposal practices were distributed throughout
the service area the following day. A copy of this "door knocker" is provided as Attachment A.
Pro -Active Programs
UCPW has an established Line Cleaning/CCTV program in place. The permit requirement to
clean a minimum of 10% of the system annually is consistently met. In most cases, CCTV
inspections are conducted simultaneously with the line cleaning which allows a more in-depth
inspection of our system. Areas of the wastewater system that have been recognized as
problematic (resulting in blockages or overflows) are added to a high priority line inspection list.
Lines on this list receive frequent inspection.
UCPW has an established FOG Inspection and Enforcement program. The program meets the
requirements of Collection System Permit WQCS00054. In addition to policing commercial
establishments, our FOG program makes an effort to reach residential users as well. This is done
by distributing bilingual "door knockers" describing proper FOG disposal practices in areas
where grease related blockages have occurred. A copy of this "door knocker" is provided as
Attachment A.
Billing inserts aimed at FOG education are distributed annually to all customers. A copy of the
insert is provided as Attachment B.
Comments
UCPW will continue to be proactive in preventing SSO's from occurring in the future with
specific programs, restrictions, enforcements and continuing I&I studies and prevention. I hope
this meets the criteria you have requested. Records of the projects listed above, as well as certain
pictures, are available upon request and can be sent as necessary. If you have any questions
regarding this response please do not hesitate to contact me or Mark Tye at 704-296-4210.

A.
Remedial and corrective actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to prevent
further SSOs. As of December 1, 2007, any reportable SSO may be issued a Notice of Violation
(NOV) and some may be assessed a civil penalty. Civil penalties will be issued for SSOs based
on volume, volume reaching surface waters, duration and gravity, impacts to public health, fish
kills, and recreational area closures. Other factors considered in determining the amount of the
civil penalty are the violator's history of spills, the cost of rectifying the damage, whether the
spill was intentional, and whether money was saved by non-compliance.

Dear Mr. Snider,
Union County Public Works (UCPW) is in receipt of NOV-2010-DV-0161 regarding a sanitary
sewer overflow. The SSO that occurred on March 4, 2010 was a direct result of a force main
equipment failure. Four (4) bolts on the valve bonnet of an underground valve corroded to a
point that resulted in the o-ring gasket failing. This spill was not the result of improper system
operation or maintenance and could not have been prevented by reasonable means. Please
consider the information presented below before taking escalated enforcement actions.
Incident # 201001042
MH #2646
Explanation/Cause of SSO
Once the SSO was discovered (during routine pump station inspection), excavation of the area
revealed a failed valve. Adequate equipment and properly trained personnel were readily
available to make needed repairs. The SSO lasted 60 minutes. Approximately 6000 gallons of
wastewater spilled (+/- 1% of the Average Daily Flow).
Remediation Efforts
Personnel and equipment arrived at the scene less than 1 hour after first awareness of the force
main failure. A crew excavated the area and discovered a failed valve. The gate valve had to be
dismantled in order to make repairs. New bolts and a new gasket were used to replace the
corroded bolts and damaged gasket (See attached schematic).
The associated pump station (Eastside PS #3) had to be shut down to in order to make the repair.
Contributors to this pump station (Town of Marshville and Pilgrims Pride) were notified that an
emergency repair was taking place and asked to reduce flows as much as possible.

Pro -Active Programs
All UCPW pump stations are equipped with either telemetry or supervisory control and data
acquisition (SCADA) systems. UCPW conducts routine pump station inspections on all stations
twice weekly at a minimum, which exceeds NCDWQ check requirements. This particular pump
station is inspected daily. This inspection schedule helps better ensure that any problems are
recognized early and repaired quickly.
Comments
UCPW will continue to be proactive in preventing SSO's from occurring in the future with
specific programs, restrictions, enforcements and continuing I&I studies and prevention. This
SSO could not have been prevented by reasonable means. I hope this meets the criteria you have
requested. Records of the projects listed above, as well as certain pictures, are available upon
request and can be sent as necessary. If you have any questions regarding this response please
do not hesitate to contact me or Mark Tye at 704-296-4210.

NOV-2011-DV-0127
WQCS00054
Union County Public Works
Upon receipt of the Notice of Violation, NOV-2011-DV-0127, a further
investigation has been conducted on the SSO's described in "Attachment A". The SSO's
are listed below with additional information provided.
Incident # 201100458
Eastside #3 Pump Station
Explanation/Cause of SSO
The SSO that occurred on March 1st, 2011 was due to a vertical motor failure in the pump
station. The drive motor for pump "B" failed (burnt up). The exact cause of the failure has
not yet been determined. Public Works has been in development of a preventative
maintenance plan that calls for critical pump/motor inspections and lift station drawdowns
to be conducted in order to detect problems. This lift station was last inspected on
2/28/2011 and found to be in satisfactory operating condition. The motor failure caused the
main control fuse to blow on pump "A" which resulted in the shutdown of the entire lift
station. The failure occurred during a heavy rain event.
Remediation Efforts
UCPW on -call personnel responded to the alarm condition immediately. Electrical
troubleshooting was conducted, the control fuse for Pump A was replaced (spares are kept

UNION COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS
on site), and the lift station was back in operation on one pump within an hour of arrival. A
spare motor, which is kept on -site, was installed the next day.
Incident #201100820
MH# 2700, 2701, 2702
Explanation/Cause of SSO
The SSO that occurred on March 30, 2011 was a direct result of heavy rain and
thunderstorms that impacted the area. The overflow was a direct result of Inflow and
Infiltration. All pumps and associated equipment were operating properly and at capacity. .
Remediation Efforts
UCPW's efforts will continue to be pro -active in nature to prevent overflows from
occurring. Below is a brief list of some of those efforts as they specifically relate to the
East Side:
• Continued routine inspections of the lift stations on the Eastside, I&I related
inspections and repairs, and line repairs as they are discovered. Portions of the
Eastside system were recently inspected, via smoke testing, in January 2011
resulting in mainly cleanout cap replacements.
• Continued progress with Town of Wingate and Town of Marshville to control
and/or eliminate sources of inflow and infiltration.
• Continued progress on a multi -million dollar Eastside Improvements Project.
o Current design of the Eastside Improvements Project consists of the
following:
■ New, larger force main from PS #3 to Monroe WWTP (bypassing
PS #2)
• Remove existing vertical motors and driveshaft to replace with
larger, more conventional pumps at both PS #3 and #2.
■ New metering vaults at each PS.
• New 12" magmeter and vault at Monroe WWTP
o The Eastside Improvements Project is currently two months behind schedule
based on the following timeline:
■ Awaiting plan review and approval from NC Construction, Grants
and Loans — estimated 3-4 weeks
• Three properties must go before the UCBOCC for condemnation —
minimum 60 days after approval to enter properties
2 of 5 5/9/2011

UNION COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS
• Advertise and bid project — approximately 60 days after CG&L
approval
o Anticipated start date is August 2011 with a construction schedule of
approximately 15 months to completion.
Incident # 201100639
Pilgrim Forest Outfall
Explanation/Cause of SSO
The cause of the SSO that occurred on March 21, 2011 was due to grease and debris
buildup causing a backup in the 8" mainline This specific outfall line is categorized as a
"high priority line" and inspected in accordance with our Statewide Collection System
Permit. Although our permit states high priority lines should be inspected after significant
rain events, UCPW inspects at a minimum quarterly. This "high priority line" was
documented as inspected on March 10, 2011.
Remediation Efforts
UCPW personnel and equipment responded within 10 minutes of first knowledge and
alleviated the SSO using a high pressure jet machine. Once SSO was stopped and lines
were no longer surcharged, approximately 1500'-2000' of 8" mainline downstream of the
SSO was also cleaned as a precaution/preventative measure against possible additional
blockage issues. Further line cleaning is scheduled throughout the next few weeks, which
will include areas upstream as well as downstream of the SSO location. Site clean-up
consisted of pumping a large amount (> 10,000 gallons) of standing or pooled wastewater
back into the collection system, removal of solids and the removal/replacement of
contaminated dirt. Lime was spread over the area.
This particular outfall area is on the UCPW high priority line list for increased inspections.
The Permit requirement is for inspection of these lines upon a significant rain event --
UCPW conducts inspections quarterly at a minimum, regardless of rain event. The
inspection includes observation of flow, ensuring no restrictions, and the area around the
manhole or line segment(s) for any recent activity such as vandalism, erosion, surcharges,
etc. The lines were last inspected on March 10, 2011. UCPW will develop a more
comprehensive plan in regards to this area of the system such as a more aggressive annual
or bi-annual cleaning program. FOG inspections for the institutional (schools) and
commercial (restaurants) facilities upstream of the overflow are currently being scheduled
3 of 5 5/9/2011

UNION COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS
with UCPW Pretreatment Coordinator. UCPW has continued to distribute "door knockers"
to areas where grease related blockages have occurred. Along with the "door knockers", a
flyer is also sent to customers during the holiday season outlining fats, oil, and grease
disposal practices and prohibitions.
Pro -Active Programs
Union County Public Works has a strong Cleaning/CCTV program in an effort to prevent
or reduce grease and debris related wastewater backups and/or overflows. UCPW
consistently meets or exceeds the permit requirement of cleaning a minimum 10% of the
system annually. In most cases, CCTV inspections are conducted simultaneously with the
line cleaning which allows a more in-depth inspection of our system and to recognize any
inefficiency that may exist. Areas of the wastewater system that have been recognized as
"problematic" resulting in blockages or overflows, are added to the high priority line
inspection list which allows them to be inspected more frequently.
Union County's F.O.G program has been developed and enforced when necessary. Since
the development of the FOG program, UCPW has continued to distribute "door knockers"
to areas where grease related blockages have occurred. Along with the "door knockers", a
flyer is also sent to customers during the holiday season outlining fats, oil, and grease
disposal practices and prohibitions. Education and possible enforcement will be evaluated
for improvement in primarily residential areas.
Comments
UCPW will continue to be proactive in preventing SSO's from occurring in the future with
specific programs, restrictions, enforcements and continuing I&I studies and prevention. I
hopethis meets the criteria you have requested. If you have any questions regarding this
response please do not hesitate to contact me or Mark Tye at 704-296-4210.

System: Union County Public Works
Dear Mr. Snider,
Upon receipt of the Notice of Violation, NOV-2011-DV-0049, a further
investigation has been conducted on the SSO described in "Attachment A". The SSO is
listed below with additional information as requested.
Incident # 201100151
228 Maywood Path
Explanation/Cause of SSO
The SSO that occurred on January 21st, 2011 was due to grease/debris buildup in
the sewer line causing a backup to occur. The first knowledge of the spill was at
approximately 9:30 am and extended until 10:00 am. This particular area consists of a
large niirrber of residential customers only. There were no prior grease/debris related
SSO's that would have increased inspections of this area or signified a major concern for
the FOG program.
Remediation Efforts
UCPW lift station personnel first noticed the SSO. Additional personnel and
equipment were immediately dispatched to the area. After arriving at the location, the first
manhole downstream of the SSO was located and attempts to alleviate the spill began.
Alleviation of the spill consisted of utilizing a Vaccon combination jet/vac unit to clear the
blockage. Immediately following the overflow, numerous line sections were cleaned and
C:\Documents and Settings\jbrooks.UC\v1y Documents\josh\SSO'S\NOV Respone Letters\NOV Letter 01-11 -- #0049.doc

UNION COUNTY PUBLIC WORKS
grease/debris removed. Clean-up of the area affected by the SSO consisted of removal of
any debris related to the spill and f ie area covered witil i;me on 1/21 /201 i and'/24/20'_'.
Pro -Active Programs
Union County Public Works has a strong Cleaning/CCTV program in an effort to
prevent or reduce grease and debris related wastewater backups and/or. overflows. UCPW
consistently meets or exceeds the permit requirement of cleaning a minimum 10% of the
system annually. In most cases, CCTV inspections are conducted simultaneously with the
line cleaning which allows a more in-depth inspection of our system and to recognize any
inefficiency that may exist. Areas of the wastewater system that have been recognized as
"prone to fail", resulting in blockages or overflows, are added to the high priority line
inspection list which allows them to be inspected more frequently.
Union County's F.O.G program has been developed and enforced when necessary.
This program was submitted to NC DWQ in an effort to comply with Section 1, (4) of our
system wide permit (WQCS00054). Since the development of the FOG program, UCPW
has continued to distribute "door knockers" to areas where grease related blockages have
occurred. Along with the "door knockers", a flyer is also sent to customers during the
holiday season outlining fats, oil, and grease disposal practices and prohibitions.
Comments
UCPW will continue to be proactive in preventing SSO's from occurring in the
future with specific programs, restrictions, enforcements and continuing I&I studies and
prevention. I hope this meets the criteria you have requested. Records of the projects
listed above, as well as certain pictures, are available upon request and can be sent as
necessary. If you have any questions regarding this response please do not hesitate to
contact me or Mark Tye at 704-296-4210.
Respectfully,
Josh Brooks

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
(7)
(8)
The degree and extent of halm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violations;
The duration and gravity of the violations;
The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
The cost of rectifying the damage;

Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Daryl Merritt
PERCS Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for
such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five
factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the
penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting
whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements
contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a
stipulation that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted,

and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
deteiniining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors
shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the
remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your
remission request. The response will provide details regarding case status,
directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider
information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the
Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough
statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed
"Request for Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative
Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" foil,. within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you complete and submit
the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be
submitted to the following address:

A review has been conducted of the Union County's self reported Sanitary Sewer
Overflows (SSOs) 5-Day Report(s) for December 2009. This review has shown Union County to
be in violation of the requirements found in Collection System Permit WQCS00054 and/or G.S.
143-215.1(a)(1). The violations that occurred during December 2009 are summarized in
Attachment A.
Remedial and corrective actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to prevent
further SSOs. As of December 1, 2007, any reportable SSO maybe issued a Notice of Violation
(NOV) and some may be assessed a civil penalty. Civil penalties will be issued for SSOs based
on volume, volume reaching surface waters, duration and gravity, impacts to public health, fish
kills, and recreational area closures. Other factors considered in deteiniining the amount of the
civil penalty are the violator's history of spills, the cost of rectifying the damage, whether the
spill was intentional, and whether money was saved by non-compliance.

Be advised that G.S. 143-215.6A provides for a civil penalty assessment of not more than
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000), or twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per day when the
violation is of a continuing nature, against any person who is required but fails to apply for or to
secure a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1. Penalties may also be assessed for any damage to the
surface waters of the State that may result from the unpermitted discharge.
The SSOs noted in Attachment A under violation action as "Proceed to Enforcement " are
overflows that the regional office has determined, after review of the CS-SSO 5-day report, that
may result in a civil penalty assessment. You have 15 days from receiving this Notice of
Violation letter to provide any additional justification for the identified SSOs as to why
these spills do not meet the criteria listed in this letter for civil penalty assessment.

Dear Mr. Snider:
FEB - 5 2010
Union County Public Works (UCPW) is in receipt of the referenced NOV dated
January 15, 2010, and received in this office on Jan 20th. The NOV has been issued as
the result of three (3) sanitary sewer overflows (SSO) that occurred within our East Side
service area during December 2009. All three SSOs were associated with intense area
rainfall resulting in excessive inflow and infiltration (I&I) into the collection system. The
vast majority of the I&I comes from systems owned and operated by the towns of
Marshville and Wingate. UCPW would like to take the opportunity to present details of the
affirmative actions taken toward mitigating SSOs that occur in the East Side service area
during intense rainfall events.
UCPW has sewer personnel on -call for all after hour's emergencies that may arise.
Personnel respond to all high water conditions (alarms) and are typically on site within one
hour. Depending on the severity or level of a high water condition, manual pump
operation may be employed in an effort to prevent or reduce an SSO event. Prevention or
reduction of an SSO is accomplished by manually cycling -off any downstream pump
stations. By cycling -off downstream pump stations, flow can sometimes be reduced at the
SSO point. Downstream pump stations are only cycled off if adequate wet well capacity
exists.
Pilgrim's Pride is a large poultry producer that discharges to the East Side
collection system. As part of their pretreatment system, Pilgrim's Pride utilizes a pair of
large lagoons. Pilgrim's Pride makes every effort to manage the lagoon freeboard so their
discharge can often be reduced or temporarily stopped at UCPW's request. This
reduction in flow to the East Side system can sometimes prevent or reduce an SSO event.
A $1.5 million dollar project to rehabilitate portions of the East Side system was
implemented in 2004-2005. This rehabilitation project consisted of cleaning, inspecting
and CIP lining of 20,000+ linear feet of trunk line and relaying and upsizing approximately
600 feet of trunk line. Pipe bursting of lines was utilized to replace old VCP pipes. A

combination of cementitious spray liner and epoxy liner was applied to associated
manholes.
In addition to the rehabilitation project mentioned above, UCPW has completed the
following corrective measures to the East Side collection system:
• Windward Oaks including outfall: Smoke tested on 11/14/2007 — 22
problems were found and repaired immediately.
• Greenbrook including outfall: Smoked tested on 8/13/2007
were found and repaired immediately.
• Meadows Mobile Home Park: Smoke tested on 8/3/2007 —
— 18 problems
21 problems
were found and corrected immediately.
• Piney Grove including Vista Ridge, Eastwood and associated outfalls:
Smoke tested on 1/9/2008 — 11 problems were found and corrected
immediately.
• Trunk line outfalls were inspected throughout the East Side system (PS #3,
PS #2, PS #1) on 1/9/2008 — 1/11/2008.
• The collection system serving Wingate University was inspected via CCTV
and smoke testing. Documentation of numerous defects in the system was
shared with the Town of Wingate since the university is Wingate's customer
and contributes flow (I&I) directly to Wingate's collection system. This
inspection was completed 11/24/08-1/9/09.
The Town of Wingate has just initiated a $2 MM I&I correction program within the
Town's service area. It is anticipated that this program will address more than 30% of their
collection system and significantly reduce I&I contribution to our collection system.
The Union County Board of County Commissioners also recently approved the
implementation of an $8 MM capital program to address the capacity issues in our East
Side system. This project includes the replacement of pumps at both Pump Station No. 2
and No. 3, and construction of approximately 14,300 linear feet of 24-inch forcemain and
9,000 linear feet of 18-inch forcemain. This project will repipe our collection sytem from a
series of operations where PS 3 pumps to PS 2 which pumps to PS 1 to a parallel
operation greatly relieving the stress on PS 1 and 2 which are the subject of this NOV.
This will increase our firm capacity in the collection system from the current 2.1 MGD to
approx 5.8 MGD. The project design is 90% complete and should be under construction
within the next several months.
We trust that the above demonstrates Union County's ongoing commitment to the
correction of SSO occurances in our system.

Dear Mr. Snider,
DEC 2 8 2009
Union County Public Works (UCPW) is in receipt of NOV-2009-DV 0356 regarding a
sanitary sewer overflow. The SSO that occurred on November 9, 2009 was apparently
caused by a buildup of grease and debris in the sewer line. UCPW does have a
proactive fats, oil and grease (FOG) program and line cleaning/maintenance program.
The spill was not the result of improper system operation or maintenance. Please
consider the information presented below before taking escalated enforcement actions.
Incident # 200902615
MH 7214
Explanation/Cause of SSO
First awareness of the spill was at approximately 10:15 am. Adequate equipment and
properly trained personnel were readily available, and as a result, the SSO was
alleviated by 11:15 am. Approximately 1800 gallons spilled.
The service area upstream of the SSO consists primarily of residential customers.
There have been no grease/debris related SSO's associated with this line segment
within the past 3 years.
Remediation Efforts
Personnel and equipment arrived at the scene Tess than 1-hour after first awareness of
a problem. A high pressure jetting machine was used to clear the blockage. Debris
consisting of stone and miscellaneous items was captured and removed from the sewer
line.
500 North Main St., Suite 500 • Monroe, NC 28112-4730 • Phone: [phone] • Fax: [phone]

The sewer line was cleaned both up -stream and down -stream of the overflow point.
Accumulated solids were removed from the ground and lime was spread over the area.
Door knockers (bilingual) describing proper FOG disposal practices were distributed
through out the service area following the event. A copy of this "door knocker" is
provided as Attachment A.
Pro -Active Programs
UCPW has an established Line Cleaning/CCTV program in place. The permit
requirement to clean a minimum of 10% of the system annually is consistently met. In
most cases, CCTV inspections are conducted simultaneously with the line cleaning
which allows a more in-depth inspection of the system. Areas of the wastewater system
that have been recognized as problematic (resulting in blockages or overflows) are
added to a high priority line inspection list. Lines on this list receive frequent inspection.
UCPW has an established FOG Inspection and Enforcement program. The program
meets the requirements of Collection System Permit WQCS00054. In addition to
policing commercial establishments, our FOG program makes an effort to reach
residential users. This is done by distributing bilingual "door knockers" describing
proper FOG disposal practices in areas where grease related blockages have occurred.
A copy. of this "door knocker" is provided as Attachment A.
Billing inserts aimed at FOG education are distributed annually to all customers. A copy
of the insert is provided as Attachment B.
Comments
UCPW will continue to be proactive in preventing SSO's from occurring in the
future with specific programs, restrictions, enforcements and continuing I&I studies and
prevention. I hope this meets the criteria you have requested. Records of the projects
listed above, as well as certain pictures, are available upon request and can be sent as
necessary. If you have any questions regarding this response please do not hesitate to
contact me or Mark Tye at 704-296-4210.

Upon receipt of the Notice of Violation, NOV-2009-DV-0115, a further investigation has been
conducted on the SSO's described in "Attachment A". The SSO's are listed below with
additional information as requested.
Incident # 200900533 — Off of Monroe Ansonville Rd.
Incident # 200900534 — Off of McIntyre Rd
Incident # 200900535 — Off of Monroe Ansonville Rd
Explanation/Cause of SSO
Inflow and infiltration along with approximately 3.5 inches of rain within a short period of time
were the primary causes of the SSO (see RainT.ogger spreadsheet included). This storm caused
flash flooding in areas with creeks rising above an elevated manhole at Rays Branch Lift Station
and flooding the driveway to the New Salem Brach Lift Station, both of which are part of the
Eastside system. An email notice was sent to all Union County offices from UC Emergency
Management on February 27, 2009 detailing a potential severe winter storm (see email attached).
Remediation Efforts
On -call personnel responded to numerous "high level" alarms throughout the Union County
system. Personnel ensured that affected lift stations were operating properly and at capacity.
Numerous testing and repairs have been made to the Eastside system throughout the year by
UCPW personnel including smoke testing, lateral/cleanout repairs, manhole repairs/injecting,
etc. in order to reduce I&I related problems.
Two satellite systems (Town of Marshville and Town of Wingate), which are connected to
Union County's Eastside system, have been found to be contributing to our I&I problems.
UCPW has inspected, via CCTV and smoke testing, one of the connected satellite systems,

Upon receipt of the Notice of Violation, NOV-2009-DV-0061, a further investigation has been
conducted on the SSO described in "Attachment A". The SSO is listed below with additional
information as requested.
Incident # 200900036
In Woods near Sardis Church RS
Explanation/Cause of SSO
The SSO that occurred on January 6th, 2009 was due to inflow and infiltration during a
substantial amount of rainfall within a short period of time. It is also being contributed to
equipment issues at the Crooked Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (CCWTP) influent lift
station. The two factors combined with heavy rainfall instituted major efforts to find and repair
deficiencies within this "sub -basin".
Remediation Efforts
Previous to this SSO event, efforts were made to "tighten up" this sub -basin in months past
(December 2007 and April 2008). Smoke testing, manhole inspections, and point repairs were
conducted hoping this would alleviate I&I concerns in this area. Repairs were found and made
but not entirely completed before another occurrence. Immediately following the SSO,
tremendous efforts were aimed at further I&I reduction within this sub -basin. Smoke tests were
once again conducted with numerous new deficiencies found, i.e. cleanout caps broken/missing
and broken laterals both public and private. CCTV is also being conducted on all mainline
sections, including outfalls, to determine if any other I&I issues exist. Repairs are currently
being conducted to repair deficiencies found during smoke testing. Manhole repairs are also a
large contributor and are being addressed at this time utilizing injectable and cementitious grout
to solidify the manhole structures. Four manholes, located in a low lying area, were also raised
to prevent further introduction of inflow into the system.

Dear Ms. Sifford,
Notice of Violation
NOV-2009-DV-0013
WQCS00054
Union County Public Works
JAN 2 6 2009
Upon receipt of the Notice of Violation, NOV-2009-DV-0013, a further investigation has been
conducted on the SSO's described in "Attachment A". The SSO's are listed below with
additional information as requested.
Incident # 200803337
Monroe Ansonville Rd Lift Station 1
Explanation/Cause of SSO
The SSO that occurred on December 12th, 2008 was due to a check valve failure. The failure
was found to be caused by "unknown" debris built-up inside the valve preventing the check
valve from closing completely. This resulted in a portion of the wastewater flow "recirculating"
within the pump station. Prior to the SSO, two days of heavy rains preceded this failure, which
in turn caused this pump station to operate under high level conditions. The failure occurred
during this high level period and did not allow the pump station to maintain its levels.
Remediation Efforts
Upon notice of the failure, personnel immediately assessed the situation, dispatched assistance
(dry pit/confined space) and repaired the problem. Personnel turn the affected pump off and
opened the check valve manually in order to back flush the valve. During this time, personnel
also "jockeyed" the flows from upstream pump stations to reduce the impact on the station as
well as the SSO. This resulted in the intermittent overflows as reported. As stated above, heavy
rains that occurred earlier made conditions unfavorable. Pump station #1 and #2 were operating
under high flow conditions hindering the repair process.

Incident # 200803461
14834 Pawnee Trail — Cherokee Woods Subdivision
Explanation/Cause of SSO
The SSO that occurred on December 31, 2008 was a result of vandalism. The manhole had been
opened and concrete/cinder blocks thrown into the invert. Personnel were able to "fish" around
and alleviate the spill by making an opening in the debris with a long pole. After the wastewater
had receded, personnel removed an estimated fifteen (15) five gallon buckets full of debris (See
pictures attached). A Union County Sheriff's Deputy was dispatched to complete a police report
as well (Police Report attached).
Remediation Efforts
In order to ensure proper flow was achieved, personnel cleaned the associated lines the next
business day (January 2, 2009). The manhole ring/cover has also been scheduled for
replacement with a locking ring/cover to help prevent this situation from re -occurring. Samples
were taken of the affected creek/stream/tributary and the results are attached. Clean-up of the
area was conducted with lime spread over the area.
Comments
In regards to the Eastside System, UCPW, in partnership with the Town of Wingate and Wingate
University, has begun I&I investigations of portions of the sewer system inside the Town of
Wingate and Wingate University campus. The investigation consists of CCTV/Cleaning efforts
as well as smoke testing in and around campus along with certain "hot spots" throughout the
Town. UCPW in cooperation with CDM has also been designing upgrades to the pump stations
and force mains associated with the Eastside system to handle extraneous flow related to I&I.
UCPW will continue to be proactive in preventing SSO's from occurring in the future with
specific programs, restrictions, enforcements and continuing I&I studies and prevention. I hope
this meets the criteria you have requested. Records of the projects listed above, as well as certain
pictures, are available upon request and can be sent as necessary. If you have any questions
regarding this response please do not hesitate to contact me or Mark Tye at 704-296-4210.
Respectfully,
Jo srh Brooks

Upon receipt of the Notice of Violation, NOV-2008-DV-00392, a further investigation
has been conducted on the SSO's described in "Attachment A". The SSO's are listed below with
additional information as requested.
Incident # 200802621
8800 Waltham Forest Court
Explanation/Cause of SSO
The SSO that occurred on September 15th, 2008 was due to grease buildup in the sewer
line causing a backup to occur. The first knowledge of the spill was at approximately 9:30 am
and extended until 10:00 am. The grease came from numerous sources made up of residential
users. There are no prior grease incidents in this area that would have increased inspections of
this area or deemed a major concern for the FOG program.
Remediation Efforts
Upon notice of the incident personnel were immediately dispatched to the area. After
arriving at the location, the first manhole downstream of the SSO was located and attempts to
alleviate the spill begun. Alleviation of the spill consisted of utilization of a high pressure jet
trailer to clear the blockage. During the blockage numerous line sections were affected by the
build-up and were cleaned the same day. A total of 900' of 8" sewer lines were cleaned and one
manhole completely cleaned and solids/grease removed with a "combo unit". Clean-up of the
areas affected by the SSO consisted of removal of any debris related to the spill and the area
covered with lime.

Comments
The UCPW FOG program has been developed and enforced when necessary. This
program was submitted to NC DWQ in an effort to comply with Section 1, (4) of our system
wide permit (WQCS00054). In the submitted package it outlined the program from the
program's coordinator to the initial visit as well as necessary enforcement. Since the submission
of the FOG program, UCPW has begun distributing "door knockers" to areas where grease
related blockages have occurred. A copy of this "door knocker" is provided. Along with the
"door knockers", a flyer had been developed and sent to customers during the holiday season. A
copy of the flyer is also provided.
UCPW will continue to be proactive in preventing SSO's from occurring in the future
with specific programs, restrictions, enforcements and continuing I&I studies and prevention. I
hope this meets the criteria you have requested. Records of the projects listed above, as well as
certain pictures, are available upon request and can be sent as necessary. If you have any

Dear Ms. Sifford,
Upon receipt of the Notice of Violation, NOV-2008-DV-0287, a further investigation has
been conducted on the SSO's described in "Attachment A". The SSO's are listed below with
additional information as requested.
Incident # 200801778
Manhole #11773
Explanation/Cause of SSO
The SSO that occurred on June 24th, 2008 was due to debris in the sewer line causing a
backup to occur. The first knowledge of the spill was at approximately 9:30 pm and extended
until 2:50 pm on June 25t. The debris that was found consisted of various sizes of rocks and
stone, sticks, toilet paper, etc... This subdivision is not built out yet and no apparent point of
entry has been found at this time.
Remediation Efforts
Upon notice of the incident from CCom (after hours), on call personnel immediately
dispatched additional personnel to assist. After arriving at the location, the first manhole
downstream of the SSO was located and attempts to alleviate the spill begun. After gaining
access to the manhole on the outfall, personnel utilized a high pressure jet trailer to clear the
blockage. The jet nozzle and hose became lodged in the line and numerous attempts were made
to dislodge the nozzle with no relief. Finally a second, larger trailer jet machine was brought to
the site and used to remove the stuck nozzle and alleviate the blockage and SSO.
Samples were also taken of the affected stream during the course of the SSO. During the
process of taking samples, it had appeared that a fish kill had occurred. However, as a result of
the samples that were taken it was determined that the fish kill was NOT a direct result of the
500 North Main St., Suite 500 • Monroe, NC 28112-4730 • Phone: [phone] • Fax: [phone]

SSO. DO readings taken of the area were initially low upstream and concluded that "all were
non life supporting DO readings". The DO readings upstream of the SSO were 0.97 with
downstream DO readings of 0.59 at location #1 and 1.12 at location #2. The ph readings were
consistent, between 7.1 and 7.4, at all three sample locations. The Lab Report Sheet is provided
as Attachment 1.
This section of outfall was cleaned entirely throughout July and August 2007. It was
deemed necessary to clean these lines because of a previous problem that occurred in June 2007.
This outfall was inspected by UCPW personnel during routine right-of-way maintenance and
mowing in early June 2008 with no apparent problems recognized. It has also been found
reasonable to add this area of outfall to the High Priority Lines list as defined in the Collection
System Permit, No. WQCS00054, section V-4. This addition is due to the frequency of
problems and "line contacting surface water". These "high priority lines" are inspected and
recorded every 6 months and after any significant rain event as necessary.
Comments
UCPW will continue to be proactive in preventing SSO's from occurring in the future
with specific programs, restrictions, enforcements and continuing I&I studies and prevention. I
hope this meets the criteria you have requested. Records of the projects listed above, as well as
certain pictures, are available upon request and can be sent as necessary. If you have any
questions regarding this response please do not hesitate to contact me or Mark Tye at 704-296-

Discharge Violation/Sanitary Sewer Overflow
Wastewater Collection System Permit WQCS00054
Union County
Dear Mr. Tye:
1. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) has reviewed the 5-day
report for Union County's self reported Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) for May 2008. This review
shows Union County to be in violation of the requirements found in Collection System Permit
WQCS00054 and/or North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.1(a)(1). The violation is
summarized in Attachment A.
2. Remedial and corrective actions should be taken to prevent further SSOs. As of 1 December 2007 any
reportable SSO may be issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) and some may be assessed a civil penalty.
Civil penalties will be issued for SSOs based on volume, volume reaching surface waters, duration and
gravity, impacts to public health, fish kills, and recreational area closures. Other factors considered in
deteiiilining the amount of the civil penalty are the violator's history of spills, the cost of rectifying the
damage, whether the spill was intentional and whether money was saved by non-compliance.
3. Please be advised that NCGS 143-215.6A provides for a civil penalty assessment of not more than twenty-
five thousand dollars ($25,000), or twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per day when the violation is of a
continuing nature, against any person who is required but fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by
NCGS 143-215.1. Penalties may also be assessed for any damage to the surface waters of the State resulting
from the unpermitted discharge(s). The SSOs noted in Attachment A as "Proceed to NOV" under Violation
Action are those that we have determined may result in a civil penalty assessment.
4. Please reply to this NOV within 10 days of receiving it. Your response should include any additional
information that you wish to submit for our consideration in determining whether the identified SSOs will
be assessed civil penalties.

Upon receipt of the Notice of Violation, NOV-2008-DV-0274, a further investigation has
been conducted on the SSO's described in "Attachment A". The SSO's are listed below with
additional information as requested.
Incident # 200801490
Old Sycamore Golf Club fairway 4 — Lift Station Force Main
Explanation/Cause of SSO
The SSO on May 19, 2008 was due to a force main break at the "Old Sycamore PS #3"
located near the 4th fairway in the Old Sycamore Golf Course. The force main was leaking due
to a small hole, which was discovered by UCPW pump station personnel. The force main
material is galvanized steel, and combined with the age of the pump station, was contributing
factors resulting in the SSO.
Remediation Efforts
Upon discovery of the incident, personnel shut the entire pump station off and notified
additional personnel. A pump and haul was initiated and the process of making the necessary
repairs began. After the force main drained, it was repaired with a 2" stainless steel repair band,
designed for this application. Samples were also taken of the affected stream during the course
of the SSO.
UCPW, in cooperation with Brown & Caldwell engineering, have concentrated efforts to
identify potential failures pertaining to force mains in the collection system. This study is
designed to reduce force main failures related to pipeline breaks, age, corrosion, etc... It is
currently in the final stages and will be assessed appropriately.

Dear Ms. Putnam:
This letter is to notify Union County Public Works of the violation of North Carolina
General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.1(a)(1), for a sewer overflow occurring on August 8, 2005 and
this offices intention of recommending enforcement action be taken for the unpermitted
discharge into Meadows Branch.
The Mooresville Regional Office has reviewed the 5-day sanitary sewer overflow report
Incident No. 200502134 regarding the overflow that occurred on 8/09/2005 at manhole number
2699 on McIntyre Road. The overflow resulted in the estimated release of 900 gallons of
untreated wastewater into Meadows Branch which is in the Yadkin Pee -Dee River basin. This
non -permitted discharge constitutes making an outlet to waters of the state in violation of NCGS
143.215.1(a)(1).
The Eastside collection system has had chronic sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) during
the past two years due to inflow and infiltration in the collection system. Union County has
made a substantial investment in the rehabilitation of the conveyance lines in this area. This has
Lesulted-in-reduction of the volume and duration of overflows from this system. In the letter of
Octobe :-200 ion County was advised that corrective actions would need to be taken by all
co riluting arties and that Union County would be equally responsible for SSOs associated
with the Eastside collection system.

Upon receipt of the Notice of Violation, NOV-2008-DV-0221, a further investigation has
been conducted on the SSO's described in "Attachment A". The SSO's are listed below with
additional information as requested.
Incident # 200801316
Crooked Creek MH 5321 outside W WTP
System Summary of SSO Location
The SSO which occurred in the Crooked Creek Influent Line to PS, otherwise known as
Incident # 200801316, receives flow from three business parks, Industrial Ventures 1, 2 and 3 via
pump station, and four subdivisions, Suburban Estates Mobile Home Park consisting of three
pump stations, Oak Stone, Laurel Creek, and Brittany Downs Estates.
Remediation Efforts
The SSO in question was a direct result of rain -induced inflow and infiltration. Previous
to this incident, on December 6, 2007, UCPW Collections Division utilized smoke testing in
determining locations of I&I and the necessary repairs needed in the Suburban Estates Mobile
Home Park area. As a result of these tests approximately 15,411 linear feet was tested and
identified 31 potential problems which were repaired immediately. It also identified numerous
problems on the customer's or owner's side that will require their attention and have been
notified of their obligation.
Immediately after this SSO, efforts were aimed at investigating everything upstream of
the Industrial Ventures (Helmsville) pump station. This involved all three of the Industrial
Ventures Business Parks. These efforts included smoke testing, manhole inspections and pump
efficiency or drawdown tests, among others. The pump drawdown tests concluded that the
400 North Church St. • Monroe, North Carolina 28112-4804 • Phone: [phone] • Fax: [phone]

2
pumps were operating above the provided manufacturer's curve for each particular pump. The
pumps were also removed and inspected individually during this time. The smoke testing and
manhole inspections were conducted simultaneously throughout the week of February 4-7, 2008.
As a result, 23 problems were found and immediately corrected. Manhole inspections
discovered various manhole covers requiring attention and the last repair was made on May 21.
After this particular incident further efforts were concentrated to this area. Subdivisions
upstream, Laurel Creek and Oakstone, were smoked tested and manholes inspected with
necessary repairs made immediately.
Along with UCPW's efforts to contain or control I&I, hydraulic and capacity related
incidents, the burden may be passed on to the developer to ensure that sewer line capacity can
meet the requirements needed for development with assistance from UCPW Engineering. Prior
to this incident, Lowe's Corporation or their developers have agreed to increase the line size and
capacity in the influent line to the Crooked Creek WWTP pump station. This improvement will
assist in resolving hydraulic or flow concerns that are currently restricting flow under certain
conditions. It has been approved through UCPW for these changes to take place and even
though the on -site groundwork has begun, UCPW is not aware of a specific timeframe for
completion.
Incident # 200801317
Anniston Grove off Tarrington Drive
System Summary of SSO Location
Anniston Grove is a new subdivision in which the flow is carried to Twelve Mile
Wastewater Treatment Plant. The area where the SSO occurred conveys flow from Anniston
Grove and connects to the Lower Price Mill Outfall.
Remediation Efforts
At the time of the SSO heavy rain and flash flooding covered the area. When UCPW
personnel arrived to the scene of the SSO, the SSO was not occurring or had subsided. The SSO
was determined to be caused by a mechanical plug installed during construction, but not
removed before activation. The wastewater associated with this SSO spilled out of an opening in
the manhole cone, one manhole upstream of the plug, where a vent pipe was to be installed. The
vent pipe was neglected and the hole remained open at ground level. The plug was immediately
removed, the SSO cleaned up and a plug inserted into the opening to eliminate I&I until the vent
pipe could be installed. Since then the vent pipe has been installed by the contractor.
In order to help prevent this type of incident from happening again, guidelines have been
developed by the Engineering Dept. for UCPW Inspectors to adhere to (See Attachment 1).
Included in these guidelines is a checklist with areas for the Inspector to initial when and where a
plug is installed and when it was removed, among others. This allows the Inspector, developer,
contractor(s), etc... to be held accountable for this type of incident and face any necessary
actions, should it reoccur.
Comments
UCPW personnel, consisting of Water, Wastewater Collection and Engineering, have
combined efforts in revising the Water and Sewer Extension Policy. This policy sets forth
guidelines for developers, contractors, builders, etc... to adhere to during development,

With this effort coming to a close, UCPW should be more equipped with the ability to enforce
certain restrictions or enforcements to help prevent this type of incident from taking place.
After the Extension Policy revisions, the core group listed above will be reviewing the
Union County Water and Sewer Specifications for Construction. During this review the
specifications will be updated by adding and deleting certain items allowing UCPW to better
control materials and techniques used in the construction of the water and sewer infrastructure.
UCPW will continue in being proactive in preventing SSO's from occurring in the future
with specific programs, restrictions, enforcements and continuing I&I studies and prevention. I
hope this meets the criteria you have requested. Records of the projects listed above, as well as
certain pictures, are available upon request and can be sent as necessary. If you have any
questions regarding this response please do not hesitate to contact me or Mark Tye at 704-296-

Dear Ms. Putnam:
1. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) has reviewed the 5-day
reports for the Union County Public Works Department's self reported Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs)
for April 2008. This review shows the Union County Public Works Department to be in violation of the
requirements found in Collection System Permit WQCS00054 and/or North Carolina General Statute
(NCGS) 143-215.1(a)(1). All violations are summarized in Attachment A.
2. Remedial and corrective actions should be taken to prevent further SSOs. As of 1 December 2007 any
reportable SSO may be issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) and some may be assessed a civil penalty.
Civil penalties will be issued for SSOs based on volume, volume reaching surface waters, duration and
gravity, impacts to public health, fish kills, and recreational area closures. Other factors considered in
determining the amount of the civil penalty are the violator's history of spills, the cost of rectifying the
damage, whether the spill was intentional and whether money was saved by non-compliance.
3. Please be advised that NCGS 143-215.6A provides for a civil penalty assessment of not more than twenty-
five thousand dollars ($25,000), or twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per day when the violation is of a
continuing nature, against any person who is required but fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by
NCGS 143-215.1. Penalties may also be assessed for any damage to the surface waters of the State resulting
from the unpermitted discharge(s). The SSOs noted in Attachment A as "Proceed to NOV" under Violation
Action are those that we have determined may result in a civil penalty assessment.
4. Please reply to this NOV within 10 days of receiving it. Your response should include any additional
information that you wish to submit for our consideration in determining whether the identified SSOs will
be assessed civil penalties.

Notice of Violation
NOV-2008-DV-0157
WQCS00054
Union County Public Works
Upon receipt of the Notice of Violation, NOV-2008-DV-0157, a further investigation has
been conducted on the SSO's described in "Attachment A". The SSO's are listed below with
additional information as requested.
Incident # 200800678
Eastside Pump Station #1
Explanation/Cause of SSO
Eastside PS#1(Rays Fork Branch), along with two others in the area, Meadows Branch
(PS #2) and New Salem Branch (PS#3), were installed and put into service in the late 1970's.
The sanitary sewer overflow that occurred on March 5, 2008 was a direct result of an electrical
malfunction. On the night of March 4, 2008 a thunderstorm, which produced heavy rain and
extreme lightning, caused numerous power faults or "blips" resulting in undo strain on the
electrical system of this particular pump station. Due to the "blips" the transformer on the pump
#1 side of the control panel was subject to overworking and overheating that resulted in an
electrical fire.
Remediation Efforts
Upon arrival, employees immediately turned off the power to the pump station in an
effort to reduce the risk of shock while extinguishing the fire inside the control panel. UCPW
has a licensed electrician on staff who was called out to the scene to assist in troubleshooting the
problem. It was then determined that the damage was isolated to the "pump #1" side only.
Pump #1 was isolated and operation resumed with pump #2
In order to reduce the flow to PS #1 and the impact of the SSO, employees adjusted or
"jockeyed" flow from PS #2 and PS #3 respectively. In terms of flow, the amount of wastewater
being conveyed at that time had increased compared to normal daily flows due to inflow and

A review has been conducted of the Union County's self reported Sanitary Sewer Overflows
(SSOs) 5-Day Report(s) for March 2008. This review has shown Union County to be in violation of the
requirements found in Collection System Permit WQCS00054 and/or G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1). The
violations that occurred during March 2008 are summarized in Attachment A.
Remedial and corrective actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to prevent further
SSOs. As of December 1, 2007, any reportable SSO may be issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) and
some may be assessed a civil penalty. Civil penalties will be issued for SSOs based on volume, volume
reaching surface waters, duration and gravity, impacts to public health, fish kills, and recreational area
closures. Other factors considered in determining the amount of the civil penalty are the violator's
history of spills, the cost of rectifying the damage, whether the spill was intentional, and whether money
was saved by non-compliance.
Be advised that G.S. 143-215.6A provides for a civil penalty assessment of not more than twenty-
five thousand dollars ($25,000), or twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per day when the violation is of a
continuing nature, against any person who is required but fails to apply for or to secure a permit required by
G.S. 143-215.1. Penalties may also be assessed for any damage to the surface waters of the State that may
result from the unpermitted discharge.

Upon receipt of the Notice of Violation, NOV-2008-DV-0097, a further investigation has
been conducted on the SSO's described in "Attachment A". The SSO's are listed below with
additional information as requested.
Incident # 200800328
Crooked Creek Influent Line to PS
System Summary of SSO Location
The SSO which occurred in the Crooked Creek Influent Line to PS, otherwise known as
Incident # 200800328, receives flow from three business parks, Industrial Ventures 1,2 and 3 via
pump station, and four subdivisions, Suburban Estates Mobile Home Park consisting of three
pump stations, Oak Stone, Laurel Creek, and Brittany Downs Estates.
Remediation Efforts
The SSO in question, Incident #200800328, was a direct result of rain -induced inflow
and infiltration. Previous to this incident, on December 6, 2007, UCPW Collections Division
utilized smoke testing in determining locations of I&I and the necessary repairs needed in the
Suburban Estates Mobile Home Park area. As a result of these tests approximately 15,411 linear
feet was tested and identified 31 potential problems which were repaired immediately. It also
identified numerous problems on the customer's or owner's side that will require their attention
and have been notified of their obligation.
Immediately after this SSO, efforts were aimed at investigating everything upstream of
the Industrial Ventures (Helmsville) pump station. This involved all three of the Industrial
Ventures Business Parks. These efforts included smoke testing, manhole inspections and pump
efficiency or drawdown tests, among others. The pump drawdown tests concluded that the

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the. Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at 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.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the. following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment

and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Daryl Merritt
PERCS Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for
such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five
factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the
penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting
whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements
contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a
stipulation that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted,
and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors
shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the
remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your
remission request. The response will provide details regarding case status,
directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider

information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the
Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough
statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed
"Request for Remission of Civil Penalties, Waiver of Right to an Administrative
Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you complete and submit
the enclosed "Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be

form to request remission of this civil penalty. You should attach any documents that you believe
support your request and are necessary for the Director to consider in evaluating your request for
remission. Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors
listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or
the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document.
Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(c), remission of a civil penalty may be granted only when one or
more of the following five factors applies. Please check each factor that you believe applies to your
case and provide a detailed explanation, including copies of supporting documents, as to why the
factor applies (attach additional pages as needed).
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed in the civil
penalty assessment document);
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation (i.e., explain the steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future
occurrences);
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident (i.e. , explain why the violation
was unavoidable or something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions (i. e., explain how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the
activities necessary to achieve compliance).

Dear Ms Putnam:
A review has been conducted of Union County's self reported Sanitary Sewer Overflows
(SSOs) 5-Day Report(s) for December 2007. This review has shown Union County to be in
violation of the requirements found in Collection System Permit WQCS00054 and/or G.S. 143-
215.1(a)(1). The violations that occurred during December 2007 are summarized in Attachment
A.
Remedial and corrective actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to prevent
further SSOs. As of December 1, 2007, any reportable SSO may be issued a Notice of Violation
(NOV) and some may be assessed a civil penalty. Civil penalties will be issued for SSOs based
on volume, volume reaching surface waters, duration and gravity, impacts to public health, fish
kills, and recreational area closures. Other factors considered in determining the amount of the
civil penalty are the violator's history of spills, the cost of rectifying the damage, whether the
spill was intentional, and whether money was saved by non-compliance.
Be advised that G.S. 143-215.6A provides for a civil penalty assessment of not more than
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000), or twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per day when the
violation is of a continuing nature, against any person who is required but fails to apply for or to
secure a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1. Penalties may also be assessed for any damage to the
surface waters of the State that may result from the unpermitted discharge.

Dear Ms. Sifford,
Notice of Violation
NOV-2008-DV-0032
WQCS00054
Union County Public Works
Upon receipt of the Notice of Violation, NOV-2008-DV-0032, a further investigation has
been conducted on the SSO's described in "Attachment A". All three SSO's occurred during the
samerain event.. These arenot isolated incidents with the same end result._ The SSO's are listed
below with additional information as requested.
Incident # 200703638 Incident # 200703639 Incident # 200703640
PS #1 Eastside,
PS #2 Eastside PS #3 Eastside
Eastside Sewer System Summary
The pump station known as PS #3 is the beginning, of this Eastside system located
upstream from pump stations #2 and #1. Eastside PS #3 accepts flow from Marshville through
two connections as well as Pilgrims Pride through a single connection. Eastside PS #2 conveys
flow from Eastside PS #3, Meadows Mobile Home Park (includes two pump stations), Piney
Grove area, Vista Ridge, Windward Oaks and Eastwood subdivision along with portions of the
Town of Wingate. Eastside PS #1 accepts flow from Eastside PS #2, Greenbrook, Trellis,
Timber Hills (one pump station) and the remaining portions of the Town of Wingate. There are
no other connections to this system that we are "aware" of.
Remediation Efforts
As described in the CS-SSO 5 Day report, the SSO's occurred during a heavy rain event.
During this rain event the entire Eastside System was overcome with extraneous flow. During
these kinds of conditions the Eastside system always operates at capacity with incoming flow
being above capacity. Union County has taken numerous steps to alleviate these high flow
situations.
Flow studies have been completed, with the use of various flow meters, to determine
problem areas, surge problems, billing concerns and develop a hydraulic model of the system.
Union County has utilized these studies to determine the best appropriate actions to take in
400 North Church St. • Monroe, North Carolina 28112-4804 • Phone: [phone] • Fax: [phone]

regards to the issues surrounding the Eastside system. A hydraulic model of the system has been
compiled and currently being evaluated as a result of these studies.
A $1.5 million dollar project to rehabilitate portions of the Eastside was launched in
2004. This rehab project consisted of cleaning, inspecting and CIP lining of 20,000+ linear feet
of trunk lines to PS #3 and PS #2, relaying and upsizing approximately 600 feet of trunk line to
PS #2 for increased line capacity, pipe bursting of lines to PS #2 and PS #1 to replace old VCP
pipes and eliminating leaks and applying cementitious spray liner and epoxy liner to associated
manholes._
The Eastside Improvements Project is currently in the design phase with 90%
completion. This project has an estimated cost of $6.6 million dollars and consists of many
changes to the system. Existing pumps at PS #3, PS #2 and PS #1 will be replaced with new
larger pumps, better metering facilities, electrical components, replace generator at PS #3 and
pipe configurations to improve flow capabilities. Along with the pump station upgrades it is
necessary to provide additional force main capacity to accommodate these larger pumps. A new
force main will convey the flow from PS #3 to Monroe WWTP bypassing PS #2 and PS #1,
ultimately allowing these pump stations to monitor flow from satellite systems accurately and
reduce surge conditions.
Even though these projects will assist in gaining control of these situations when they
arise, UCPW still maintains the integrity of the system with constant I&I programs. These
programs consist of smoke testing, manhole inspections and repairs to problems found whether it
be manholes or pipelines. Specific areas in the Eastside system have been smoke tested and
inspected prior to and following this incident.
• Windward Oaks including outfall — Smoke tested on 11/14/2007 — 22 problems
were found and repaired immediately.
• Greenbrook including outfall — Smoked tested on 8/13/2007 —18 problems were
found and repaired immediately.
• Meadows Mobile Home Park — Smoke tested on 8/3/2007 — 21 problems were
found and corrected immediately
• Piney Grove including Vista Ridge, Eastwood and associated outfalls — Smoke
tested on 1/9/2008 —11 problems were found and immediately corrected.
• Trunk line outfalls were inspected throughout the Eastside system (PS #3, PS #2,
PS #1) on 1/9/2008 —1/11/2008.
In order to provide more efficiency to the Eastside system an upgrade was also completed
in 2007 to Meadows Mobile Home Park's two (2) duplex pump stations. This upgrade came in
at a cost of $175,000.00. The upgrade consisted of pump replacements (4), pipe replacement in
wet wells, control panel upgrade, SCADA, access doors and wet well repairs.
Although the SSO's occurred during a rain event, PS #1 (Incident # 200703638) was
subject to a pump malfunction. During this rain event one pump in a duplex system failed to
operate at full capacity. During the high flow situation the pump remained operational and was
not feasible to remove until the high flow situation was under control or alleviated in order to
reduce the impact of the SSO. A spare pump and emergency personnel were available to make
the needed repairs when the opportunity arose. The pump was replaced and has since been
evaluated and deemed not viable for repair. A purchase order has been requested to purchase a
new pump due to the expensive repair.

Comments
All of these projects and programs outlined above, although somewhat effective, still
have not completed our initiative to reduce and eliminate SSO's and solve outlying problems.
Our satellite systems on the Eastside are suspect to stormwater connections to the sanitary sewer
system. Stormwater entering the sanitary sewer system is strictly prohibited in the UCPW Sewer
Use Ordinance as well as the City of Monroe Sewer Use Ordinance. Along with our satellite
systems, Wingate University is also suspected of having these connections as well.
I hope this meets the criteria you have requested. Records of the projects listed above are
available upon request and can be sent as necessary. If you have any questions regarding this
response please do not hesitate to contact me or Mark Tye at 704-296-4210.
Sincerely,
Josh Brooks

not feasible to remove until the high flow situation was under control or alleviated in order to
reduce the impact of the SSO. A spare pump and emergency personnel were available to make
the needed repairs when the opportunity arose. The pump was replaced and has since been
evaluated and deemed not viable for repair. A purchase order has been requested to purchase a
new pump due to the expensive repair.

Comments
All of these projects and programs outlined above, although somewhat effective, still
have not completed our initiative to reduce and eliminate SSO's and solve outlying problems.
Our satellite systems on the Eastside are suspect to stormwater connections to the sanitary sewer
system. Stormwater entering the sanitary sewer system is strictly prohibited in the UCPW Sewer
Use Ordinance as well as the City of Monroe Sewer Use Ordinance. Along with our satellite
systems, Wingate University is also suspected of having these connections as well.
I hope this meets the criteria you have requested. Records of the projects listed above are
available upon request and can be sent as necessary. If you have any questions regarding this
response please do not hesitate to contact me or Mark Tye at 704-296-4210.

If Yes, explain:
Due to numerous studies and extensive rehab work being completed, we are cionfidenl that
Union County's portion of this system does not contain any of these connections. However,
the satellite systems to this area may be suspect to these connections.
Have all lines contacting surface waters in the SSO location and upstream been inspected recently?
If Yes, explain:
Summer 2007
What other corrective actions are planned to prevent future I/1 related SSOs at this location?
The Eastside Improvements Project currently in design will begin construction soon. Along
with the Improvement Project, inspections will continue within this portion of the system.
Comments:
UCPW has dedicated crews to located and reduce I&I. A factor to this particular spill was
one pump not operating to capacity unknown during these rain conditions.
Other (Please explain in Part II)
Describe:
During this rain event one pump in this duplex system failed to operate at full capacity. It is
currently unknown as to what capacity it did have but has thus been replaced and sent for
repair to be used as a backup.
Were adequate equipment and resources available to fix the problem?
If Yes, explain:
Employees and equipment were availabe to make an immediate repair. A spare pump, kept
on -site, was available to make an immediate repair. The repair could not be made during the
high flow time because the pump was still operational but not at full cape
If the problem could not be immediately repaired, what actions were taken to lessen the impact of
the SSO?
The upstream pump stream was operating on one pump, when possible, to lessen the impact
on this station.
Comments:
Due to unforseen circumstances, the pump could not immediately be replaced. The pump
was operational, not at full capacity, but still pumping. As soon as the levels dropped and the
problem was found repairs began immediately.

Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Collection System Permit
Number WQCS00054
Union County
Dear Ms. Putnam:
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
A review has been conducted of the Union County's self reported Sanitary Sewer Overflows
(SSOs) 5-Day Report(s). This review has shown Union County to be in violation of the requirements
found in Collection System Permit WQCS00054 and/or G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1). The violations that
occurred during August 2007 are listed in Attachment A.
Remedial and corrective actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to prevent further
SSOs. Please note that due to the continued high numbers of SSOs in North Carolina the Division of
Water Quality has implemented a new SSO enforcement policy. Beginning June 1, 2007, until December
1, 2007, any reportable SSO may be issued a Notice of Violation (NOV) and some may be assessed a civil
penalty. Beginning on December 1, 2007, civil penalties will be issued for SSOs based on volume,
volume reaching surface waters, duration and gravity, impacts to public health, fish kills, and recreational
area closures. Other factors considered in determining the amount of the civil penalty are the violator's
history of spills, the cost of rectifying the damage, whether the spill was intentional, and whether money
was saved by non-compliance.
After December 1, 2007, SSOs similar to those highlighted in Attachment A are overflows that the
regional office has determined, after review of the CS-SSO 5-day report, that will result in a civil penalty
assessment. You will have 10 days from receiving a Notice of Violation letter to provide any additional
justification for the identified SSOs as to why these spills do not meet the criteria listed in this letter for
civil penalty assessment beginning in January 2008.
If you have any questions regarding this policy please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Barbara
Sifford or myself at 704-663-1699.
Sincerely,

Union County
Dear Mr. Dyer:
This letter is to notify Union County Public Works of violations of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1(a)(1) for the unpermitted discharge of wastewater into waters of the state.
The Mooresville Regional Office is in receipt of six (6) 5-day sanitary sewer overflow
(CS-SSO) reports regarding the overflows that occurred during the month of February 2004
(between 02/06/2004 and 02/29/2004), off Monroe-Ansonville Road near Wingate in the Eastside
Collection System. The overflows resulted in a total discharge of 151,300 gallons of untreated
wastewater into Rays Branch. Those non -permitted discharges constitute making an outlet to
waters of the state as set forth in GS 143.215.1(a)(1), for which a permit is required.
In order to obtain uniform and consistent information pertaining to SSOs, a new spill
reporting form was developed and distributed to all municipalities that maintain and operate
collection systems.'Part II of the CS-SSO form must be completed to provide a justification
claim. The information submitted in Part II is the primary basis for determining the need for an
enforcement recommendation.
For the SSOs listed above additional information should be submitted for adequate
justification. As noted in your collection system inspection response letter ofNovember 5, 2003
UCPW has rehabilitation plans for this area. Please provide a schedule for the implementation of
this work, and submit any additional information for corrective actions taken or planned for this
area.

Dear Mr. Dyer:
This letter is to notify Union County Public Works of violations of North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1(a)(1) for the unpermitted discharge of wastewater into waters of the state.
The Mooresville Regional Office is in receipt of four (4) 5-day sanitary sewer overflow
(CS-SSO) reports regarding the overflows that occurred between 02/06/2004 and 02/15/2004, off
McIntyre Road in the Eastside Collection System. The overflows resulted in a total discharge of
33,800 gallons of untreated wastewater into Meadows Branch. These non -permitted discharges
constitute making an outlet to waters of the state as set forth in GS 143.215.1(a)(1), for which a
permit is required.
In order to obtain uniform and consistent information pertaining to SSOs, a new spill
reporting form was developed and distributed to all municipalities that maintain and operate
collection systems. Part II of the CS-SSO form must be completed to provide a justification
claim. The information submitted in Part II is the primary basis for determining the need for an
enforcement recommendation.
For the SSOs listed above additional information should be submitted for adequate
justification. As noted in your collection system inspection response letter of November 5, 2003,
UCPW has rehabilitation plans for this area. Please provide a schedule for the implementation of
this work, and submit any additional information for corrective actions taken or planned for this
area.

Part II of Form CS-SSO is to outline the actions taken or proposed to ensure that the
problem does not recur. It is also to be completed to show that the SSO was beyond the control
of the owner/operator. After review of Part II of these reports it is the opinion of this office that
inadequate justification was submitted. Therefore it is requested that you respond, in writing, to
this Notice, indicating the actions you have taken to correct the problem. Please address your
response to Ms. Barbara Sifford by no later than April 30, 2004.
The purpose of this letter is also to notify you that this Office is considering sending a
Recommendation for Enforcement to the Director of the Division for the subject violations. If
you have an explanation for the violations that you wish to present, please include it in the
requested response. Your explanation will be reviewed and if enforcement action is still deemed
appropriate, your explanation will be forwarded to the Director along with the enforcement
package for his consideration.

On November 8, 2005, Mr. Jeff Carpenter of Union County Public Works Department

overflowed from this line. This is estimated from the construction completion date and the
occupancy of the development. A previous spill occurred on May 13, 2004 because of a plug left
in the line after construction. These discharges are a violation of North Carolina Administrative
Code (NCAC) 15A NCAC 2H.0227. Permit No. WQ0022237 Condition 3 requires the wastewater
collection facilities be properly operated and maintained in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0227.
