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 Resources will review your evidence. and inform you of his decision in the matter of
your remission request. The response will provide details regarding, the case status, directions for payment. and

Sanitary Sewer Overflows - November 2019
Collection System Permit No. WQCS00054
Union County Collection System
Union County
Dear Mr, Watson:
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:

Intent to Enforce

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.
This office requests that you respond to this Notice, in writing, within 10 business days of its
receipt. In your response, you should address the causes of non-compliance, remedial actions, and all other
actions taken to prevent the recurrence of similar situations. The response to this correspondence will be
considered in this process. Enforcement decisions will also be based on volume spilled, volume reaching surface
waters, duration and gravity, impacts to public health, fish kills or recreational area closures. Other factors
considered in determining the amount of the civil penalty are the violator's history of non-compliance, the cost of
rectifying the damage, whether the spill was intentional and whether money was saved by non-compliance.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Michael Meilinger or me with the Water Quality Section
in the Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699 or via email at michael.meilinger�a ncdenr.gov or

Sanitary Sewer Overflows — November 2019
Collection System Permit — WQCS00054
Union County
Dear Mr, Basinger:
Union County has received the NOV referenced above for collection system overflows.
Explanations of the overflows were on the BlMS Overflow Reporting Forms submitted by Union
County Public Works (UCPW) to the NCDEQ. However, we have added a few additional facts
in the explanations below,
Incident # Date Location
201901751 11/6/2019 5715 Stockbridge Drive
Response:
The sewer overflow was the result of Grease accumulation in the pipes. The sanitary sewer
overflow occurred behind 5715 Stockbridge Drive out of a sanitary sewer manhole. The
overflow began at approximately 4:00 pm lasting until 4:45 pm on November 6, 2019, and is
estimated at 900 gallons. There were no signs leading up to the spill that would indicate a
backup was to occur,
Incident # Date
201901807 11/23/2019
Response:
The SSO listed in this section were due to I&I introduction during heavy rains and flash flooding.
The system associated with this area was inundated with floodwaters and increased flows at
CCWRF. The new CCWRF EQ system was being utilized to attenuate peak flows experienced
during storm events, however, during construction of the new gravity system an
existing 8-inch gravity main located on the north side of Sardis Church Road
Location
4015 Sardis Church Road

was thought to be abandoned and as such was not reconnected to the new gravity system. This
line is connected to a 12-inch line on the south side of Sardis Church Road, however, without
the parallel 8-inch line available to convey flow the collection system experienced a severe
hydraulic condition. The 8-inch line has been connected to avoid this
restriction in the future. Plans are being developed with our CIP team to resolve to improve
general hydraulics in this area.
Union County Public Works has underwent a comprehensive Master Plan (Black & Veatch) and
improvements strategy in efforts to better identify areas of improvement within the Crooked
Creek basin, Efforts such as flow monitoring studies (CDM Smith/Hydrostructures and Frazier
Engineering) to identify areas of inflow and infiltration, capacity assessments of the CCWRF and
associated lift stations, lift station assessments to identify aging infrastructure, among others.
As a result of these studies, UCPW has developed a CIP plan to address certain areas of
concern.
• A significant plant upgrade at the Crooked Creek WRF was completed including new
headworks, a 3MG EQ basin, and process improvements. Total cost is $7.775M project
also included a new 10.3 MGD influent PS, new headworks containing new bar screens,
compactor, and grit removalidewatering, and relocation of 1200' of 18" gravity sewer,
l&I flow studies have been conducted by CDM Smith (Hydrostructures) and Frazier
Engineering. These studies have narrowed the basin into concentrated sub -basins to
target I&I reduction. The intended approach is a find -fix method to utilize funding
efficiently and consistently. The first initial 2017 target area is southwest of CCWRF in
the Indian Trail area south of Hwy 74, west to the Union/Mecklenburg county line.
This I&I abatement work has been completed. Additional areas for I&I abatement are being
evaluated.
UCPW also has an aggressive Capital Improvement Program throughout the next 5 years. The
projects include:
• Crooked Creek Basin Improvements - $24,259,922.00
Crooked Creek Interceptor Improvements Ph, 1 - $9,915,500.00
)=- Suburban Estates PS and FM - $1,000,000.00
Waxhaw Interceptor — 3,200,000.00
• WW PS Improvements - $3,600,000.00
> Collection System SSES & Rehab — $2,080,000 (not including $85k annually in
Operations)
PS Upgrades - $300,000 annually
UCPW's current CIP projects are also ongoing with projects including:
Waxhaw Sewer Improvements - $295,000.00
Blythe Creek Sewer Improvements - $3,083,200,00
`).-- Forest Park PS Replacement & Interceptor Improvements - $2,540,000,00
Crooked Creek I&i Study & Remediation - $2,538,300.00
• Suburban Estates PS replacement-$933,000.00

Union County Public Works continues to invest funds into SSES work, capital improvements,
maintenance and operations to improve the wastewater collection system, If further information
or details regarding the CCWRF Improvements, as well as, the CIP projects listed above are
required, please feel free to contact Greg Morgan, Superintendent/ORC, at 704-289-3288 or
