No transcription errors were discovered. The DMR's from July 2004 and August 2004 showed effluent limit violations for fecal conform. No other violations were noted. After the documentation review was completed, a physical inspection of the facility was conducted. .All treatment units were found to be in good working order, however, it was relayed by Mr. Cockman that the facility does not have any source of alternate power in the event of an emergency.

The Department'does'not dispute that the McCain WWTP should be equipped with a source of emergency power.. However, we would also like to point out that to date the WWTP. has never experienced the release of untreated or partially treated wastewater • due to electrical power interruption. Also, we find the permit stipulation cited in the NOV somewhat vague and open to interpretation. The WWTP does. in fact Maintain the ability to hold untreated wastewater in its aeration basin; the length of time that basin would -provide emergency storage may be a more germane question. The cited permit clause does not specify alength of time for a hypothetical • power outage. An outage of several hours could be tolerated; an outage of several 'days could not. We would appreciate clarification on the required duration of a power outage before -we can conclude that our reserve storage volume is inadequate and we are in fact in violation -of our permit. Regardless of the precise difference between a power failure and a generalstate of emergency, DOC has in fact already determined to install an emergency generator(as defined by statute) at the WWTP. This installation would have occurred already except for, the severe budgetary constraints imposed on the Department through the last few budget cycles. DOC_ would also'like to -request an extension on your stated deadline of June .15, 2005 to July 15, 2005 for -submission of a Plan of Action (POA). • We request this extension due to the fact that your letter took three weeks to reach the Department, and we are unsure of our ability to locate adequate funding for this generator by the June 15 deadline.

We will need that determination in order to prepare the POA. Please feel free to give me a call to discuss this issue at your convenience at (919) 716-3437.

First, we apologize for the delayed time that it took for you to receive the NOV. The NOV was sent to your office by certified mail on May 17, 2005. Thank you for responding in such a quick manner after receipt of the NOV. Based on the information you provided in your letter, we offer the following: ➢ We understand that the McCain WWTP has the capability of retaining untreated waste for a relatively short amount of time. We are asking for a Plan of Action should there be a power outage for longer periods of time, i.e. 1-2 days or more. As determined during the Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted on May 11, 2005 and based on your letter, "An outage of several hours could be tolerated; an outage of several days could not." the McCain WWTP is not prepared for such an event. > Your extension request to submit, a written Plan of Action (POA) to this office on or before 15, 2005 is accepted. _ July > The addition of an emergency generator is not considered as process equipment and therefore would not require an Authorization to Construct (ATC). If you or your staff has any questions, please feel free to contact Mike Lawyer or myself Y y if at 910-486-1541.

The method of power reliability that we propose is an appropriately sized standby generator that will adequately power the WWTP for an indefinite period of electrical service interruption. We are currently in the process of identifying funding for this project. We anticipate beginning the design and procurement processes in November 2005. This design timeline has been influenced by the recent loss of staff across several engineering sections, including my supervisor, Matthew Harbert, with whom you have been communicating regarding this matter. Once the bidding and award processes for the equipment are complete, it has been our experience that delivery of_a.generator of this type requires from three to five months. We hope to have the installation complete and the unit operational by April 30, 2006. You stated that we would not require an Authorization to Construct notice from your office, since this will not be considered a piece of process equipment. I hope this plan satisfies the NOV request for information. If you have any further questions or comments, please do not hesitate to give me a call at 91.9-716-3433 or email me at hkg02@doc.state.nc.us at your convenience. Res.: tfully, Kenneth G.
