Dear Wes:
Per our phone conversation on September 12, 2013, the following is a narrative description of the decommissioning of
the Kings Grant WWTP (NPDES NCO032760) which is owned and operated by the official Permittee of the facility
Carolina Water Service, inc. of North Carolina ("CWSNC"). The p�ant is located in Gaston County North Carolina. The
flow formerly treated arthe Kings Grant plant ls now conveyed tothe Two Rivers Utilities (TRU)collection system via a
new gravity main and metering station, The flow is then treated and discharged at TRU's Eagle Road WWTP (NPDES
NCO006033). The decommissioning of the plant began after flow was diverted from the plant in mid -June of 2013.
[VVS0C sent aletter toK8rMichael Parker atDuVQadvising the Division that the Kings Grant facility was formally of�
line and deactivated asofJune 21(attoched). [VV5NCstill owns the collection system and serves customers inKings
Grant neighborhood. This project was done via a mutual consent agreement between CWSNC and TRU, The Kings
Grant treatment plant area and surrounding property are still owned hyCVVSN[
The remaining liquid waste inthe plant was decanted from the in -ground process tanks and above ground digester
tanks to the sewer collection systern and ultimately to the Eagle Road WWTP. Flows to the sewer were limited to no
more than 100 gpm and a maximum BOD and TSS of 250 ppm. The remaining solids in the process tanks and digester
were hauled away for off -site disposal, All removable equipment and materials vtthe in -ground process tanks were
removed from the s4e for salvage or disposal. The above -ground steel digester tanks were removed from the site for
salvage. Drainage/anti-flotation holes were punched in the bottorn of the in-grOUnd concrete process tanks. The tank
walls were then demolished to three (3) feet below the existing grade, The process tanks were then filled and with
compacted earth,
The original Kings Grant plant included two polishing ponds located at the easterly portion of the plant site, The ponds
allowed for acicli6onal sedimentation of the final effluent from the p:lant, The northerly pond (pond No. 1) was active at
the time of decommissioning. The Southerly pond (pond No. 2) was inactive at the time of decommissioning. Pond No,
z is approximately sixty (63) feet in diameter with a surface area less than a tenth of an acre. Pond No� 2 is
approximately forty (40) feet in diameter with a Surface area less than five -hundredths of an acre. Liquid in each of the
ponds was decanted \othe sewer system, For pathogen elimination, lime was added to the remaining solids to raise
the pH above 11,5 for a minirnurn of 22 hours. Lab results demonstrating the pH requirement was met are attached,
Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure (TCLP or "T-Clip") tests were also performed on samples fron) each of the
two ponds, Results from the TCLP test are attached. All parameters on the TCLP were within acceptable ranges with the
excepdono/zhereactivesv\hdeforpondwo.l'vvhichmeasured8B9ppm.|coruacedVVesRe||inmid`Avgum/to
inquire whether this elevated parameter was an issue. | pointed out that the reactive Sulfide parameter is intended to
identify solid waste and is not a parameter required for bio-solid classification. I pointed out that the blo-5olids in the

pond were generated by a 100tdo residential neighborhood. Wes stated that he would need to contact the N DENIR
Aquifer Protection section concerning the matter and asked if there were any wells in the immediate area. I described
the wellhead located approximately six -hundred (600) feet westerly of the ponds and that the wellhead site surface
elevation is approximately 15 vertical feet higher than the ponds.
Wes contacted nee the following day requesting that we test the ponds for fecal coliforrr and directed nee to a
memorandum from Ted t, Bush to Aquifer Protection staff dated June 22, 2012 titled Guidelines for the Closure of
Permitted ;Wastewater Ponds and Lagoons. The coliform tests came in well below the limit of 1,000 MPNI,/g. I contacted
Wes to discuss the results (coliforrn results attached) and he said he would need to discuss the natter with his section
chief and the aquifer protection. Wes called back the following day, Thursday September 12, letting me know that we
are ak to backfill the ponds, Wes requested that l document the decors missioning in a narrative letter addressed to
him This letter serves as that narrative:
Please Iet me know if you have any questions or corrections concerning the decommissiamng o

NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
Violator: Carolina WaterService Inc of NC
Facility: Kings Grant WWTP
County: Gaston
Case Number: IN-2011-0207
Permit Number: NC0032760
1) The degree and extent ofharm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
No environmental harm has been documented.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
The ammonia concentrations of 0,1 mg/L, 0.16 mg/L, 0.41 mg/L, and 9,2 mg/L were compliant with
the daily maximum permit limit of 10.0 mg/L during April 2011. However, this resulted in a monthly
average concentration of 2,47 mg/L resulting in a violation of the permit limit of 2.0 mg/L by 23.4%.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality,
The effect on the receiving stream is unknown but increased concentration can reduce the amount of
oxygen available to aquatic organisms.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
No damage has been documented
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
No cause for the elevated ammonia on April 28, 2011, was noted on the DMR. This single
concentration caused the monthly average to be exceeded.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
The Division has no evidence that 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
There were three previous CPAs for the Kings Grant WVVTP with none issued in the past 12 months.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
The cost to the Division of Water Quality is $136,57.

Dee Freeman
Secretary
Dear Mr. Konsul:
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has drafted a NPDES perrnit for the above referenced
facility. The permit authorizes Kings Grant WWTP to discharge up to 70,000 GPD of treated
wastewater to an unnamed tributary to Duharts Creek, a class WS-V water in the Catawba. River
Basin. The draft permit includes discharge requirements and/or limitations for flow, biochemical
oxygen demand (BDD), total suspended solids, ammonia, fecal coliform bacteria, total residual
chlorine, total nitrogen, total phosphorus and pH.
The following procedure has been implemented by DWQ: Total residual chlorine (TRC)
compliance level changed to 50 ug/l. Effective March 1, 2008, the Division received EPA
approval to allow a 50 ug/1 TRC cornpliance level. This change is due to analytical difficulties
with TRC measurements. Facilities will still be required to report actual results on their
monthly discharge monitoring report (DMR) submittals, but for compliance purposes, all TRC
values below 50 ug/1 will be treated as zero. A footnote regarding this change has been added to
the effluent limitations page in the draft permit.
The following modification has been made to the draft permit:
ter "total suspended residue" has been changed to "total
r consistency with other domestic dischargers.
The effluent parai;
suspended solids"

upstream/downstream sampling times are properly transcribed (5/30/08), all effluent
limits are properly documented (bottom of the DMRs), and "LA - lab accident" is
documented on the DMR along the with attached verification letter from the contract
laboratory,
Laboratory
Are field parameters performed by certified personnel or laboratory?
Are all other parameters(excluding field parameters) performed by a certified lab?
# is tne facility using a contract lab?
# ts proper temperature set for sample storage (kept at less than cr equal to 6.0 degrees Cetsus)?
Incubator (Fecal Ccliform) set to 44.5 degrees Cels4Js+/- 0 2 degrees?
Incubator (BOD) set to 20,0 degrees Celsius+1.- 1 0 degrees?
Comment: On -site field analyses (pH, temperaturedissolved oxygen, total residual
chlorine) are performed under laboratory certification #5228. Prism Laboratories, inc.
(Certification #402) has also been contracted to provide analytical support, The facility
staff must ensure all effluent TRC values are not reported below the lowest verified
standard and all instrument calibration/verification times are documented, The
laboratory instrumentation used to monitor the effluent field analyses appeared to be
properly calibrated (and documented).
Effluent SampllrA
Is composite sampling flow proportional?
Is sample collected below all treatment unts?
Is proper volume collected?
Is the tubing clean?
# Is proper temperature set for sample storage (kept at less than or equal to 6 0 degrees Cels
Is the facility sampling performed as required by the permit (frequency, sampling type representatwe)?
Comment: The composite sampler temperature was not being monitored, The ORC
must ensure the sampler operates over an entire 24-hour period (does not shut off due
to high flows) and the preset number of gallons passing through each aliquot (sample)
does not exceed 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system. Note
The facility was not collecting composite samples at the time of the inspection,

Dear Mr. Eashua.,
In your Notice of Violation (NOV) response dated 'February 7, 2007 you requested the
Division rescind the NOV for the Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted at the subject
facility on December 11, 2006, The inspection was issued as a Notice of Violation (NOV) due t(„)
the operation GT: maintenance and record keeping violations of the subject NPDES Permit and the
North Carolina General Statute ((.S.) 143-215,1 as detailed in the Secondary Clarifier,
„Aerobic Digester, and Effluent Pipe sections of the report This Office has the following
comments to the cited violations in the subject inspection report:
In the Secondary Clarifier section it was cited that there were significant solids
inventory in both clarifiers, The facility was not operating at optimum efficiency as required by
NPDES Perrnit Part fl Section C (2). The facility's solids inventory was not being properly
managed due to the excessively- high sludge blankets in both clarifiers and the evidence of solids
carry-over in the downstream treatment units. In addition, the Effluent Pipe section cites
approximately 7 feet of sludge observed in the receiving stream, The facility staff failed to
mitigate the impacted area of the receiving stream.
The Aerobic Digester section cited that sludge hauling records were not available for
review as requested by the inspector prior to the inspection date as required by NPDES Permit
Part II Section D (6) Records Retention. Please be advised that NPDES Permit Part II Section D
(8) 'Monitoring and Records specifically states "have access to and copy, at 'reasonabletimes any
records that must be kept under the conditions of this permit",

Compliance Inspection Conducted
Dear Mr. Lesley,
211
06
On January 10,. 2007, we received the 12/20/06 NOV referenced above. As requested, our
response is as follows.
Record Keeping
We are not aware of the requirement to document preservation on the Chain of Custody.
Please provide the specific regulation so we can be sure to adjust our procedures. This sub-
requirement is not even listed in the inspection form under "Is the Chain of Custody
complete." The fecal conform bottles have a deehlorination agent in them from the supplier.
Does a dechlorination agent qualify as a "preservative
The up/down stream reports for August 2006 has been amended and revised. An original and
one copy were sent to Central Files on January 8, 2007.
Flow Measurement — Effluent
We have noted the inspector"s recorrnendation.
Aeration basins
The diffuser heads were pulled and examined and no problems found. Please note that there
are several different types of diffusers (fr:t example, course and fine) and which will exhibit
different aeration patterns. Some perform better than others based on the individual
characteristics of the plant.
Secondary Clarifier
ft should be noted that plants perform differently based on many different factors. A
generalized sludge blanket level depth may not always be applicable. We will keep the solids

PPPirpMareio21,in Lesley
February 7, 2007
inventory as low as we can and still maintain plant performance and have noted the
inspector's comments.
We would ask for a specific quantification of what "excessive solids" in the overflow is. Our
discharge permit allows up to 30 mg/1 per day Total Suspended Solids average monthly flow,
At permitted flow, this would be 17.5 lb per day. We were not cited to be in violation of this
parameter.
Aerobic Di -ester
The inspector requested copies of invoices for sludge hauling. We are not aware of any
requirement to provide invoices and would appreciate specific clarification. Our invoices are
processed through Accounting and not easily retrieved. 1 am enclosing a sludge hauling
summary which will hopefully, meet your needs. i believe there was a miscommunication of
what information was being requested.
Disinfection - Tablet
The chlorine contact tank was pum-ped out and cleaned on 1/2/07.
Effluent Pipe
The inspector makes statement of sludge in -the stream. We respectfully contest this. There is
another point source pipe directly across the stream from our discharge. This appears to be a
stormwater culvert but will assuredly impact the stream at the same location. Our operator
made mention to the inspector that the "sediment" she was referencing was also upstream and
therefore not from our facility.
We find no validity in assessing a Notice of Violation on any of these matters and respectfully
request it be rescinded.
If you should need any additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at 704-525-
7990 x 216. Thank you for your attention.

Subject: Draft NPDES Permit
Permit NC0032760
Kings Grant WWTP
Gaston. County
Dear Mr. l ashua:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully so
that you thoroughly understand the conditions and requirements it contains.
Your permit is among several in the Catawba. River basin the Division has targeted for expedited renewal. No
major changes have taken place to the Division's management strategy for the Catawba River. The Division
can therefore expedite renewal of permits in the Catawba River basin whose operations have not changed
since the last permit renewal, and whose compliance records are in good standing.
This draft. permit contains two (2) substantial changes from the existing permit:
As required by the Code of Federal Regulations and based on comments from the United States
Environmental Protection Agency, the .Division was required to implement daily maximum ammonia
(NH3-N) limits for wastewater treatment facilities. This implementation policy was adopted on October
1.5, 2002. The daily maximum limit is five times the monthly average value (this multiplier was
established based on a review of treatment capability at various wastewater plants). As a result, this
permit includes both monthly average and daily maximum limits for NH3-N.
➢ A Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) limit has been added to this permit. Because you may need time to
make modifications to your plant in order to comply with this new condition, the TRC limit will not
take effect until eighteen (18) months after the effective date of the final permit. Please refer to the
enclosed TRC policy memo for details.
Submit any written comments to one at the letterhead address no later than thirty (30) days following your
receipt of the draft permit. If the Division does not receive any adverse comments from either you or the
public within this designated time, our office will. likely issue the final permit in mid -March, with an effective
date of April 1, 2005.
1f you have any questions concerning this draft permit, contact me at (919) '733-5083, extension 532 or via
email at "Variessa_Manuel©ncmail. net".

We are in receipt of your October 22, 2(l02 letter concerning the October '16, 2002 compliance
inspection by Mr. Wes Bell of your staff, '1 will address the issues or concerns as o1lo Ts:
Laboratory
We disagree with Mr. Bell on his assertion that there is a problem. v ith our procedures or
calibration. We are following the protocol at required under Standard Methods section 4500
H + B. We feel confident that there is no problem and we will work ith Mr, Whiting to clear
up any confusion,
clf-lonrtorar, a'rogram
Tla.e upstream and downstream parameter data for April 2001 was indeed collected, A copy
the report that was sent to Central Hies is enclosed. 1 do not know why your office did not
receive a copy, but it was sent in by certified mail. No further action is needed from us.
July 5„ 2002 was a company holiday and the facility was not checked. It ryas cur belief that
`"Daily" excluded weekends and holidays, but now we understand that holidays are defined at
those legally designated. Our staff has been informed of this distinction to prevent reoccurrence
of the problem.

Mr, Bridgman

Sell has requested that the company we use for flowvmetr calibrations provide greater level
of documentation. In numerous recent inspections, Mr. Bell has never mentioned a similar
concern and we do not understand the validity of the request. We are contracting with a
professional company to perform calibration services, This is done semi-annually — twice the
frequency required. The calibration dates are documented. Calibration is done by inspection of
the equipment and by instantaneous [and sometimes static] flow measurement comparison. 1 do
not see where regulations require any further documentation. We will ask the company to see i`
they are agreeable with elaborating on their calibration documentation., but we feel that this
request is unnecessary. We must ask that any and all requests or requirements be fairly and
consistently applied to all Permittees and all facilities..
If there is any other information needed, or if 1 can help in any way, please do not hesitate to
contact me at - 25 7990 Ext, 216. Thank you for your attention:

The facility was last inspected by Wes Bell of this office on October 4, 2001,
PERMIT:
The permit authorizes the continued operation of an existing 0.070 MGD wastewater
treatment system consisting of a bar screen, dual extended aeration basins, dual secondary clarifiers,
dual tablet chlorine disinfection basins, dual aerated sludge holding tanks, dual sludge digesters, and
an earthen (unlined) post aeration basin.
The permit for this facility became effective 64/02 and expire on 1/31/05, The review
period of the self -monitoring reports includes the requirements of the previously issued permit.
RECORDS AND REPORTS:
Records and reports consisting of an Operator -in -Responsible Charge (ORC) sign-in/daily
operation log, maintenance logs, calibration data, process control data, sludge records, monthly
monitoring reports, laboratory analyses reports, and chain of custody forms were reviewed at the
time of the inspection. The records were well maintained and accessible.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE
At the time of inspection all treatment units were operating properly and the -facility appeared
to be well maintained. A net was Observed covering the bar screen and each train to prevent leaves,
debris, etc. from inhibiting the treatment process. The mixed liquor appeared to be well -mixed and
adequately oxygenated. A thirty -minute settleability test was performed on each aeration basin (41
and #2). The values for the #1 and #2 aeration basins were 690 ml/L and 690 ml/L with clear
supem.ates. Screenings are disposed at the county landfill. The ORC was very knowledgeable of
the treatment processes and equipment used at the facility.
The process control program consists of dissolved oxygen, settleability, centrifuge, MLVSS,
MLSS, and sludge blanket measurements. Sludge Wasting is based on the settleability tests.
The facility is staffed with one Grade II ORC. A certified back-up operator has been
designated and is available when the ORC is unable to visit the facility.
LABORATORY:
Prism Laboratories, Inc. (Certification 4402) of Charlotte, N.C. has been contracted to
provide analytical support. The laboratory was not evaluated during this inspection. The facility
has received a laboratory certification from the Division's Laboratory Certification Unit to perform
on -site field analyses. The TRC and DO meters and thermometer appeared to be properly calibrated.
The ORC currently standardizes with the 7 and 10 buffers and also performs a third standard
check with the 10 buffer. The pH meter (Thermo Orion 21 OA+) can only be standardized in either
the 4 to 7 range or the 7 to 10 range; however, the meter has problems measuring a buffer (as a
check) outside of these ranges within +/- 0.1 unit. The manufacturer has indicated that this meter
is not designed to read concentrations outside of these ranges within the accuracy requirements. Mr.
Chet Whiting (Division's Laboratory Certification Unit) has been notified and will provide guidance
to the Division and facility staffs.

Kings Grant Subdivision WWTP

LABORATORY ont'd:
The ORC must insure that all calibration times are documented to verify that the meters are
calibrated prior to effluent analyses.
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS
The effluent discharge was clear with no floatable solids or foam. The facility discharges
into an unnamed tributary to Duharts Creek, which is a WS-V water in the Catawba River Basin.
The receiving water did not appear to be negatively impacted by the dischkrge. The outfall was well
maintained and accessible.
A review of the DMRs have indicated numerous TRC values in excess of 28,ug/l. Be aware
that a stream action level of 17 Azgill has been established for total residual chlorine for chronic
toxicity effects. An action level of 28 i2g/1 has been set as the maximum allowable effluent
concentration to protect the receiving stream against acute toxicity effects. Please maintain the total
residual chlorine concentration as low as possible, while still complying with fecal coliform limits.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Self -monitoring reports were reviewed for the period August 2001 through July 2002,
inclusive. A daily maximum BOD violation was reported on May 23, 2002. This violation has been
previously addressed by the issuance of a NOV/civil penalty assessment. No upstream and
downstream fecal coliform, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen were reported for the entire month
of April 2001. The inspection verified that all instream parameters were collected and analyzed;
therefore, an amended DMR should be resubmitted to the Division. The facility was not visited and
the effluent temperature was not reported on July 5, 2002. All remaining monitoring frequencies
were correct.
Composite samples are collected flow proportionately. Samples appeared to be properly
preserved and meet the required holding times. The upstream and downstream sampling locations
are consistent with peiinit requirements.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Flow is measured continuously by a Stevens cable type flow meter with totalizer and strip
chart recording. The flow meter was last calibrated on 6/6/02 by ISI Instrumentation Services, Inc.
of Charlotte. N.C. The flow meter is calibrated on a bi-annual basis.
This office requests (for future calibrations) that the contracted company document a
comparison of an instantaneous flow measurement to the flow meter's recorded flow rate to verify
that the flow meter's accuracy is within 10% of the actual discharge. Carolina Water Service, Inc.
should incorporate this documentation with all existing facilities that utilize continuous flow
measurement devices.
SLUDGE DISPOSAL:
Sludge is removed by Bio Tech, Inc. of West Columbia, S.C. and transported to a S.C.
wastewater facility.

SEWER OVERFLOW:
Please be advised that pursuant to Part 11, Section E of your NPDES permit, and North
Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection system,
pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion of
the wastewater shall be reported to the central office or the appropriate regional office (Mooresville
Regional Office 704-663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the
permittee became aware of the bypass. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours
may also be reported to the Division's Emergency Response personnel at 800-662-7956, 800-858-
0368, or 919-733-3300. A written report shall also be provided within five (5) days of the time of
the incident. The report shall contain a description of the bypass, and its cause: the period of the
bypass, including exact dates and times, and if the bypass has not been corrected, the anticipated time
it is expected to continue; and steps taken (or planned) to reduce, eliminate, and prevent recurrence
of 'the similar events. Any spill that reaches surface waters (i.e. any spill that reaches any water
already present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill greater than 1,000 gallons on the
ground that does not reach surface waters must be reported.
An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface waters should include an
evaluation downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a fish
kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen and
pH measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH measurements at
multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative impact. Failure to report
the bypass of collection system, pumping station or treatment facility subjects violators to penalties
of up to $25,000.00 per day per violation.
