I appreciate Mr. Love's visit to the Town, he was very cordial and most helpful in providing us
information and guidance during his visit with us.
15A NCAC 02T.0403(a)(4): We have since the inspection date begun maintaining daily records on
pump readings (7) seven days a week and also noting any repairs or concerns within the pump stations.
And
15A NCACO2T.0403(a)(8): We have completed a mailing of informational fliers on Fats,Oils,Grease,
to all residential and commercial users with instructions to keep grease from getting into our system. I
have attached a copy of the flier. We also have added this flier information to each new sewer
application. We will do this twice per year so that all customers will have the information.
We would like to thank you for your help in improving and maintaining our sewer system.
Siplcerely,
Carolyn Capps/Administra or

TOWN OF RICHFIELD

RICHFIELD, NORTH CAROLINA

704-463-.1308

In an effort to reduce the
potential for Sanitary Sewer
Overflows,(SSO's) the Public Works
Staff of The Town of RICHFIELD, N.C.
has complied the following
information to help educate our water
and sewer customer concerning the
best management practice for the
disposal of household Fats, Oils and
Greases, (FOG's).
Each year thousand of gallons
of untreated sewage are spilled from
collection systems throughout the
state of North Carolina because of
poor management practices in
commercial as well as residential
disposal of FOG's.
FOG's introduced to sanitary
sewers will result in substantial
accumulation to the point of blockage
and result in overflow of untreated
sewage.
Each reported SSO could result
in our community being fined by the
Division of Water Quality. Those fines
as cost to the Utility must be paid from
user fees.
It is the goal of the Utility to have no
SSO's to report from our collection
system. This will be possible only with
the help of our customers. Your
cooperation will be appreciated. If you
have any question please contact
Town Hall, @704-463-1308
DID YOU KNOW...?
Most sanitary sewer backups
occur between your home
and the town's sewer main?
You can help prevent a
costly and unsanitary
overflow by following a few
simple steps:
DO...
• Scrape excess grease into
a container and dispose of
it as solid waste in the
garbage.
• Place food scraps in waste
containers or garbage bags
for disposal with solid
waste, or start a compost
pile.
• Place a wastebasket in the
bathroom to dispose of
solid waste, disposable
diapers, condoms and
personal hygiene products
that do not belong in the
sewer system.
• Promote the concept of "3
R's", Reduce, Reuse, and
Recycle.
DO NOT...
• Pour fats, oils and
grease from cooking
down the drain.
• Use toilet as a waste
paper basket.
• Use the sewer as a
means of disposing of
waste food.
HOW TO DISPOSE
OF GREASE
1. Allow to cool.
2. Use a container with a lid.
3. Pour the cooled oil or
grease into container.
4. Place lid on container.
5. Scrape or wipe cookware
using paper towel or
spatula into garbage before
washing.

LINDA CULPEPPER -
Interim Director
1. Mr. Barry Love of the Mooresville Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Resources
(DWR or the Division) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) of the
Richfield wastewater collection system (WWCS) on January 24,2018. The assistance of
Ms. Carolyn Capps and Mr. Sam Steed during the inspection was greatly appreciated. A
copy of the inspection report is attached for your records and inspection fmdings are
summarized below.
Site/System Review
2. The following system components were inspected:
a. Four pump stations were inspected.
b. Three manholes were inspected.
c. Two right of ways were inspected.
3. As you are aware, owners of permitted collection systems must comply with their permit
and all rules listed under NC Administrative Code 15A NCAC 02T .0400, et seq.
Richfield's compliance status with each of these rules is summarized below:
a. 15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(1): Requires that the system be effectively maintained
and operated at all times to prevent discharge to land or surface waters and any
contravention of ground or surface water standards.

Observations: This system appears to be well maintained. and operated. No
SSO' s have been reported for the system in the past several years.
Compliance Status: Compliant
b. 15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(2): Requires that a map of the wastewater collection
system be developed and actively maintained.
Observations: The town has a paper map showing locations of lines, direction
of flow, force mains, pump stations, manholes and other information. The map
should be updated as new lines are added to the system.
Compliance Status: Compliant
c. 15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(3): Requires that an operation and maintenance (O&M)
plan be developed and implemented, which includes pump station inspection
frequency, preventative maintenance schedule, spare parts inventory and overflow
response.
Observations: The system appeared to be well maintained with protocol set up to
address any need. Pump station inspection logs were available. An inventory list
was available. The elements of an overflow response plan were there, but this needs
to be put in a complete organized plan.
Compliance Status: Compliant
d. 15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(4): Requires that the permittee or its representative
inspect pump stations that are not connected to a telemetry system (i.e., remote
alarm system) every day (i.e., 365 days per year) and pump stations that are
connected to a telemetry system at least once per week.
Observations: The pump stations are not inspected 7 days a week. In the past
couple of months records show that they were inspected 5 days a week, but previous
to that less than 5 days a week. This has been an issue in previous inspections also.
Compliance Status: Non -Compliant
e. 15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(5): Requires that the permittee or its representative
inspect high -priority sewers (HIPS - as defined in 15A NCAC 02T .0402(2)) at least
once every six months and document the inspections.

by G.S. 143-215.1C.
Observations: No SSO's have been reported with this system over the past several
years. The NC regulations and statutes, which cover the reporting requirements for
SSOs, are found in NC Administrative Code 15A NCAC 02B .0506(a) and NC
General Statute 143-215.1C, respectively. You may access the NC regulations
online at the NC Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) website at:
http://www.oah.state.nc.us/rules/ and the NC General Statutes online at the NC
General Assembly's website at:
http://www.ncga.state.nc.us/gascripts/Statutes/StatutesTOC.pl. You may wish to
review them to ensure you are fully familiar with all requirements.
When reporting SSOs to DWQ, you must call the Mooresville Regional Office
(MRO) at 704-663-1699 during normal business hours. If outside normal business
hours, you must report the spill to the NC Division of Emergency Management at
1-800-858-0368. Please note that all reportable SSOs must be reported within 24
hours of the occurrence, or first knowledge, of the SSO. Please also note that voice
mail or faxed messages are not considered as the initial verbal report. You must
talk to and report the spill to a live person.
Compliance Status: Compliant

control grease entering the system from other public and private satellite
sewer systems.

2. Grease education materials shall be distributed more often than required
above if necessary to prevent grease -related sanitary sewer overflows.
Observations: No grease education is being done. Distribution of educational
materials to both commercial and residential users is required twice a year. The
Town has legal means to control grease going to their sewer, and appears to be
active in regard to this.
Compliance Status: Non -compliant.
i. 15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(9): Requires that right-of-ways (ROW) and easements
be maintained in the full easement width for personnel and equipment accessibility.
Observations: Records were available documenting ROW maintenance. All
right-of-ways inspected were well maintained.
Compliance Status: Compliant.
j. 15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(10): Requires that documentation be kept for all
activities you undertake to comply with the requirements of 15A NCAC 02T .0403,
subparagraphs (a)(1) through (a)(9), for a minimum of three years, with the

penalty assessments not to exceed $25,000 per day, per violation. Your written response
and the actions that you take to address these violations listed herein will be considered in
deciding whether or not such penalties are necessary to compel compliance.
5. Corrective actions that should be taken for the above violations are as follows:
a. Documentation that pump stations are inspected 7 days a week (365 days a
year).
b. Documentation that grease education materials are being distributed to both
residential and commercial users twice a year.

It is requested that a written response be submitted by no later than March 1, 2018 regarding
these violations. Also, Please take note of the comments in the inspection report for other
issues that may need to be addressed. The inspection report should be self-explanatory;

Rob,
The Wooten Company has been hired by Richfield to help them with finding sources of infiltration in their sewer
system. As you are probably aware they have a gray water system that has always had problems of I/I. They
have performed smoke testing and some TV work and not come up with a solution to their I/1 problem.
We were able to acquire a Clean Water Trust Fund grant for them to help cover the cost of testing for leaks in the
system and proposed doing pressure testing on the lines to try and find the line breaks. At the time we proposed
this method we did not think about the possibility of forcing gray water out of the pipes basically causing a "sewer
spill". We are now trying to work around this and wanted to know what your thoughts were in this area.
What we propose is pressure testing a section of line and determining if there is a leak. If the section is
determined to leak then we would pump up half of the section of line to see which section contained the leak. We
would then test that section in 2 halves to narrow it down more and so on until the leak can be found and
repaired.
The water we would be pumping into the line would be clean water, but the inside of the pipes has been in
contact with sewage and there may be some pockets of sewage being held by the sewer system. If it would
improve the situation we could add some chlorine to the water that was pumped into the system for the testing.
What is your opinion of how we could pressure test these lines? Feel free to give me a call to discuss.
Thanks
John

Town of Richfield
2007 Sanitary Sewer Improvements
TWC No.: 2690-N
Dear Eddie:
Below is a summary of the progress meeting held this past Monday morning, May
18th, at Town Hall.
Work Completed to Date:
1. Six manholes were installed as proposed. Due to resistance from NCDOT, test pits
were approved in lieu of proposed manholes within the NCDOT right-of-way. A
copy of the encroachment agreement and special provisions were provided at the
meeting.
2. After repairing one broken cleanout, PS 5 area tested good.
3. To date PS 6 area has tested good. Two segments remain that can be tested.
4. PS 7 area will not pass test. Open pipes are believed to exist from old tanks at the
Dollar General site and/or the vacant lot between the Dollar General and Food
Lion Plaza.
5. To date PS 8 area has tested good with the exception of the length of line that
extends south along the shoulder of Hwy 49. A ball valve at a service connection
has been identified as allowing the air pressure to leak. Two segments remain that
can be tested.
6. To date PS 1 area has tested good. Three segments remain to be tested (along
Gold Branch Road). Two additional segments remain that can be tested.
7. A few cleanout cap and churney plug deficiencies have been found.
8. Eight 2-inch and the one 4-inch bypass connections have been installed at the
pump stations.
Proposed Work:
9. Patch asphalt cuts.
10. Replace ball valve in PS 8 area. Contractor does not recommend retesting this
segment.
11. Locate and remove service wyes from old tanks at Dollar General and adjacent
vacant lot. This segment will be retested upon completion of the work.
12. Complete testing in PS 1 area.
13. Test all remaining line segments in PS 6, PS 8 and PS 1 areas.

.;utt
Meeting Summary
14. Two septic tanks are proposed to be uncovered on top and at the inlet and outlet
pipes and inspected for potential points of inflow. Concrete access covers will be
removed sealed when replaced. One location is "Dale's" in PS 6 area and the
second is along Lee St in PS 8 area. Town can confirm tank along Lee St.
Project Financing:
15. As of Monday, May 18th, Testing and Construction costs were at $77,650.00. An
additional $13,550.00 is needed to complete the proposed work, not including the
six remaining line segments that can be tested and the work associated with
inspecting the two septic tanks.
Other Items:
16. The potential for testing on the service side of the septic tanks was discussed due
to the fact that few problems were encountered in the main lines. Potential means
for testing discussed were smoke testing and air testing service laterals.
Should you have any questions, comments or need additional information, feel free to give
me a call.
Sincerely,
THE WOOTEN COMPANY

Final Report
Town of Richfield
WW/I&I Sewer Rehabilitation
CWMTF No. 2007-533
The following items correspond with the items presented in EXHIBIT F of the Clean
Water Management Trust Fund Grant Agreement.
a. The Town of Richfield's 2007 Sanitary Sewer Improvements Project was undertaken
in an effort to reduce inflow/infiltration (I/I) into the Town's wastewater collection
system. Approximately 10,690 linear feet of three, four and six inch diameter
collector mains were pressure tested to locate sources of I/I. Where pressure tests
failed, point repairs were made to the mains. Overall, the work performed has proven
that the mains, in the areas evaluated, were responsible for contributing less of the I/I
being received than anticipated.
Modifications were also made at all nine of the existing pumping stations that exist
within the system, including installation of emergency bypass pumping connections
and flow meters. The bypass connections will protect the watershed by providing
means for portable bypass pumps to be used in the event that any of the stations fail.
The flow meters will provide valuable data to the Town that can be used to identify
areas contributing I/I as well as to gauge the performance of existing pumps which
will help to identify maintenance needs.
b. Water quality benefits resulting from the project, although not to the scale desired
when the project was undertaken, are in line with the benefits proposed at the
beginning of the project. The pumping station modifications will protect the
watershed from overflows through use of the new emergency bypass pumping
connections in the event of a station failure and providing advanced warning of
potential failures that can be avoided through the implementation of maintenance at
appropriate times. During June of 2009, when the collection system testing and
repairs were completed, rainfall and wastewater flow records were evaluated to get an
idea of the amount of I/I reduction that had been achieved. These records, when
compared to the records during similar rain events that preceded the repairs, indicate
that a measurable reduction in I/I was achieved in one of the three sub -basins tested.
c. Primary changes to the Project Scope of Work and Budget are associated with the
level of funds directed to testing and repair. Actual costs associated with pumping
station modifications were lower than projected allowing more funds to be directed to
the testing and repair portion of the Project.
d. The Town of Richfield contributed matching funds in the amount of $14,500 to the
Project. In addition, Town staff contributed time during design and construction of
the project to locate and verify exiting wastewater infrastructure, inspect and verify
work being performed, as well as tracking wastewater flows and providing
documentation used to evaluate the impact the project has had to I/I in the system.

Evaluation of flows by Town staff is on going. In addition, Town staff has continued
field evaluations of the remainder of the system since completion of the testing and
repair portion of the project. NC Rural Water Association has also provided
equipment and assistance in continuing to evaluate the system in an effort to identify
sources of I/I.
e. As mentioned previously, the results of this project determined that in the areas
evaluated, the majority of the I/I being received is entering the system through the
services. The nature of the alternative collection system gives the Owner unrestricted
access to portions of the services, including septic tanks. As a result of this project,
more attention is being focused on locating sources of I/I in the services, especially in
the project areas.
f. A record of testing procedures and results was compiled and submitted by the
Contractor. Copies of these documents are available if desired. Also, Town staff is
monitoring and keeping records of flows at the nine pumping stations via the meters
installed during this project.
g. Due to the nature of the work performed, essentially system maintenance, an
Engineer's Certification was not required.
Approximately 10,690 linear feet of three, four and six inch diameter collector mains
were pressure tested, 23 point repairs were completed, nine emergency bypass
pumping connections installed and nine pump station flow meters were installed.
k. No manholes were repaired, replaced or rehabilitated.
1. Considering the entire length of sewer line evaluated and the total project cost, $20.35
per linear foot tested was spent on testing and repair. If the cost of pumping station
modifications is not considered, the cost was $13.71 per linear foot tested.
m. The records reviewed in June of 2009 indicate that as much as 20,000 gallons per day
of rainfall induced I/I was removed during a 1-inch rainfall. Considering this and the
cost of the entire project, this project cost $10.87 per gallon of I/I removed. If the
cost of the pumping station modifications is not considered, the cost was $7.33 per
gallon of I/I removed.

Permit No. WQCSD0019
Richfield Collection System
Stanly County
Dear Mr. Misenheimer:
Ms. Barbara Sifford and Mr. Lon Snider of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Mooresville
Regional Office (MRO) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) of the Town of Richfield's
wastewater collection system permit number WQCSD0019, on July 29, 2010. The assistance and cooperation
of Mr. Barry Byrd, Ms. Carolyn Lisenby and yourself was greatly appreciated. Please note that the sections
completed on the report pertain only to the areas that were inspected. An inspection report is attached for your
records and inspection findings are detailed in this report.
The collection system for the Town of Richfield consists of low pressure and gravity sewer line. Each
residence has a septic tank that allows for separation of the solids from the wastewater. The original system had
only 35 manholes to allow for invert -siphons to convey the wastewater and nine (9) duplex pump stations. The
system conveys wastewater to Long Creek WWTP (NPDES NC0024244) owned by the City of Albemarle
through the North Stanly collection system.. Currently this system is not classified and does not require a
certified collection system operator. However the system is permitted by regulation and is required to comply
with the regulations in 15 A NCAC 02T.0403. A copy of these requirements is included with this letter.
The system appeared to be effectively maintained and operated. A map of the system was available and
is maintained for additional extensions. Overflows and bypasses have been reported as required and a copy of
CS-SSO spill reporting form was provided to you for completing the 5-day spill reporting information. A copy
of the compliance evaluation inspection is included with this letter.

Several deficiencies were noted and need to be corrected.
1. Pump stations are not connected to telemetry and therefore should be inspected every day (i.e.
365 days per year). 15 A NCAC 02T.0403 (4)
2. An operation and maintenance plan or Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) should be
developed to cover the items listed in 15 A NCAC 02T.0403 (3).
3. Inspections on both high priority lines and the entire system should be documented. 15 A
NCAC 02T .403 (5) and (6).
4. A grease control program should be developed. as stated in NCAC 02T.0403 (8) (A) for
publicly owned collection systems and distribution of educational materials for both
commercial and residential customers. The septic tanks work as grease traps in your
particular system to eliminate grease collection in the sewer lines. Requiring the residents to
pump on an established frequency would be part of this program.
Pump stations are equipped with a quick connect for a generator and also with bypass flanges for pump
around capability. The Town has a generator and bypass pumps that can be used for this purpose. Testing of
alarm floats and audible and visual alarms should be documented since that is the only communication that the
pump stations have. The stations were inspected 5 days per week until recently but should be inspected daily
and documented. The meter readings and pump run time hours need to be verified for accuracy to deteiuiine
flows at each station;
Currently I am trying to correlate the flow data that you have with data that Stanly County provided.
Keep the bubble tube clear of debris and record the readings on the two meters. We will have to evaluate the
flow meter being surcharged during a rain event to determine what is actually flowing through the meter, or if it
is surcharging. It would be a good idea to evaluate the flow along the gravity line that starts on Rhea Street to
the Deese Road meter. (This line is located near several ponds and drainage areas which might be allowing
ground water to enter.) The flow from pump stations, #2, 3 and 4 also enter this gravity line.
I would like to follow this inspection with another site visit after the data is obtained for the next month
or two, before winter rains begin. You should begin addressing the items noted in the inspection report and this
letter to bring the collection system into compliance.
If you have any questions concerning this inspection report or noted record keeping requirements, please
do not hesitate to contact me at 704-663-1699.
