If not applicable, enter NA. 1. Basic Facility Information Facility Information Applicant/Facility Name: Stonetown Berkley Oaks, LLC / Berkley Oaks WWTP Applicant Address: 720 S Colorado Blvd. Suite 1150- N, Glandale, CO 80246 Facility Address: 104 Jeran Lane, Gastonia 28052 Permitted Flow: 0.036 MGD Facility Type/Waste: 100% Domestic < 1MGD Facility Class: Grade II Biological WPCS Treatment Units: Influent bar screen, diffused aeration system, clarifier, tablet chlorination, effluent flow meter, table de-chlorinator, effluent composite sampler, a 3,000-gallon digester Pretreatment Program (Y/N) No County: Gaston Region Mooresville Briefly describe the proposed permitting action and facility background: Stonetown Berkley Oaks, LLC requested renewal of permit NC0062278 for its Berkley Oaks WWTP in Gaston County. This a privately- owned treatment system treating 100% domestic wastewater <1.0 MGD. The facility serves a mobile home park with 125 residences for 250 to 300 people. The collection system is a separate sanitary sewer. Recently a change of ownership from Berkley Oaks, LLC to Stonetown Berkley Oaks, LLC was processed. Page 2 of 10 Attachment B: Ron Berry Fact Sheet 20110712 3p “Based on the most recent information obtained, the Gastonia WWTP regional system main service line is approximately 2,200 feet from this outfall. Future plans for connecting to the regional system is unknown. The unnamed tributary provides little flow and is considered to be zero flow for evaluation purposes” “The permittee did upon request provide the location of the Gastonia WWTP regional sewer line but did not make any comments on future plans to connect. Consequently, in the draft the existing permit Special Condition A. (2.) was removed and a recommendation was made in the draft cover letter for the Permittee to continue to pursue connecting to Gastonia. Also, per the regions request inserted in the draft cover letter a commentary on extending the outfall pipe. The extension possibility was initiated during the region 2010 inspection visit. The feasibility of extending the line is unknown.” “During the comment period the region reviewed the draft permit and has recommended a special condition requirement be added that requires the Permittee to investigate connecting to the Gastonia Regional System. The July 2011 settlement agreement requires equipment improvements over the next 6 months to resolve past compliance issue but does not impose any actions to pursue connecting to Gastonia. The connection to the Gastonia Regional System would be a future step to eliminate this discharge and may become even more valid if compliance issues persist. To allow the Permittee to focus his resources in a timely manner, the special condition for the Gastonia Regional System connection will be an initial investigation followed by a report to the Mooresville Regional Office, not required any major engineering or a final design, and have a due date of January 1, 2013.” Condition A. (2.) for a regional sewer connection investigation was included in the previous version of this permit. To our knowledge no information was reported to the Mooresville Regional by March 31, 2016 by previous owners of this facility. This condition will be renewed with a deadline of August 31, 2021 (4 years from the permit expiration). 2.

Effluent Data Summary Outfall 001 (Compete table below or insert Excel Pivot Table.) MA = Monthly Average, WA = Weekly Average, DM = Daily Maximum, DA = Daily Average 4. Instream Data Summary Instream monitoring may be required in certain situations, for example: 1) to verify model predictions when model results for instream DO are within 1 mg/l of instream standard at full permitted flow; 2) to verify model predictions for outfall diffuser; 3) to provide data for future TMDL; 4) based on other instream concerns. Instream monitoring may be conducted by the Permittee, and there are also Monitoring Coalitions established in several basins that conduct instream sampling for the Permittee (in which case instream monitoring is waived in the permit as long as coalition membership is maintained). Page 5 of 10 If applicable, summarize any instream data and what instream monitoring will be proposed for this permit action: For instream data summary see table in Fact Sheet Section 3. Attachment B: Ron Berry Fact Sheet 20110712: “Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen are measured routinely at designated points upstream and downstream from the discharge into the unnamed tributary. Because of the small steam flow, this effluent had a positive impact as it consistently added dissolved oxygen and sustain the dissolved oxygen level above the water quality standard downstream. However, the increasing effluent ammonia and BOD levels will offset some of these gains. Will continue instream monitoring program at same locations.” Is this facility a member of a Monitoring Coalition with waived instream monitoring (Y/N): No. Name of Monitoring Coalition: NA. 5. Compliance Summary Summarize the compliance record with permit effluent limits (past 5 years): One NOV for weekly BOD in Aug2020, three NODs for weekly DO from May2018 to Jun2018. [See Attachment C_NC0062278_Monitoring Report Violations_Apr2016_Mar2021_11p] Summarize the compliance record with aquatic toxicity test limits and any second species test results (past 5 years): NA. Summarize the results from the most recent compliance inspection: See Attachment D_NC0062278_Inspection_20200206_9p. 6. Water Quality-Based Effluent Limitations (WQBELs) Dilution and Mixing Zones In accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0206, the following streamflows are used for dilution considerations for development of WQBELs: 1Q10 streamflow (acute Aquatic Life); 7Q10 streamflow (chronic Aquatic Life; non-carcinogen HH); 30Q2 streamflow (aesthetics); annual average flow (carcinogen, HH). If applicable, describe any other dilution factors considered (e.g., based on CORMIX model results): NA. If applicable, describe any mixing zones established in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0204(b): NA. Oxygen-Consuming Waste Limitations Limitations for oxygen-consuming waste (e.g., BOD) are generally based on water quality modeling to ensure protection of the instream dissolved oxygen (DO) water quality standard. Secondary TBEL limits (e.g., BOD= 30 mg/l for Municipals) may be appropriate if deemed more stringent based on dilution and model results. If permit limits are more stringent than TBELs, describe how limits were developed: Zero flow (7Q10/30Q2) conditions. See NPDES files for details. See 15A NCAC 02B .0206. Page 6 of 10 Ammonia and Total Residual Chlorine Limitations Limitations for ammonia are based on protection of aquatic life utilizing an ammonia chronic criterion of 1.0 mg/l (summer) and 1.8 mg/l (winter). Acute ammonia limits are derived from chronic criteria, utilizing a multiplication factor of 3 for Municipals and a multiplication factor of 5 for Non-Municipals. Limitations for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) are based on the NC water quality standard for protection of aquatic life (17 ug/l) and capped at 28 ug/l (acute impacts). Due to analytical issues, all TRC values reported below 50 ug/l are considered compliant with their permit limit. Describe any proposed changes to ammonia and/or TRC limits for this permit renewal: NA. Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) for Toxicants NA. Toxicity Testing Limitations Permit limits and monitoring requirements for Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) have been established in accordance with Division guidance (per WET Memo, 8/2/1999). Per WET guidance, all NPDES permits issued to Major facilities or any facility discharging “complex” wastewater (contains anything other than domestic waste) will contain appropriate WET limits and monitoring requirements, with several exceptions. The State has received prior EPA approval to use an Alternative WET Test Procedure in NPDES permits, using single concentration screening tests, with multiple dilution follow-up upon a test failure. Describe proposed toxicity test requirement: No changes. WET testing is not required. This is a minor facility with ammonia limits. Mercury Statewide TMDL Evaluation There is a statewide TMDL for mercury approved by EPA in 2012. The TMDL target was to comply with EPA’s mercury fish tissue criteria (0.3 mg/kg) for human health protection. The TMDL established a wasteload allocation for point sources of 37 kg/year (81 lb/year), and is applicable to municipals and industrial facilities with known mercury discharges. Given the small contribution of mercury from point sources (~2% of total load), the TMDL emphasizes mercury minimization plans (MMPs) for point source control. Municipal facilities > 2 MGD and discharging quantifiable levels of mercury (>1 ng/l) will receive an MMP requirement. Industrials are evaluated on a case-by-case basis, depending if mercury is a pollutant of concern. Effluent limits may also be added if annual average effluent concentrations exceed the WQBEL value (based on the NC WQS of 12 ng/l) and/or if any individual value exceeds a TBEL value of 47 ng/l Describe proposed permit actions based on mercury evaluation: No required. No changes. Other TMDL/Nutrient Management Strategy Considerations If applicable, describe any other TMDLs/Nutrient Management Strategies and their implementation within this permit: Lake Wylie TMDL - Nitrogen, Phosphorus: Discharges to Crowder Creek (>1 MGD). By 2001, all facilities must meet limits of 1 mg/l (TP) and 6 mg/l (TN – summer only). Since Berkley Oaks WWTP Page 7 of 10 is <1 MGD the 1995 TMDL strategy is not applicable. [Lake Wylie TMDL 1995 Catawba River Basinwide Water Quality Management Plan, https://files.nc.gov/ncdeq/Water%20Quality/Planning/TMDL/FINAL%20TMDLS/Catawba/Lake%20 Wylie%20TMDL%20from%2095BasinPlan.pdf Crowders Creek Fecal Coliform TMDL - Fecal Coliform: Berkley Oaks WWTP is listed was additional point sources discharging domestic waste. Along with CWS Saddlewood WWTP (NC0060755), Ridge Community WWTP (NC0069175), and Pines Mobile Home Park (NC007499), the permitted capacity totals approximately 0.07 MGD.

Approved July 1, 2004. https://files.nc.gov/ncdeq/Water%20Quality/Planning/TMDL/FINAL%20TMDLS/Catawba/CrowdersC reekFecalFinalTMDL.pdf Other WQBEL Considerations If applicable, describe any other parameters of concern evaluated for WQBELs: NA. If applicable, describe any special actions (HQW or ORW) this receiving stream and classification shall comply with in order to protect the designated waterbody: NA. If applicable, describe any compliance schedules proposed for this permit renewal in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H.0107(c)(2)(B), 40CFR 122.47, and EPA May 2007 Memo: NA. If applicable, describe any water quality standards variances proposed in accordance with NCGS 143-215.3(e) and 15A NCAC 2B.0226 for this permit renewal: NA. 7. Technology-Based Effluent Limitations (TBELs) NA. 8. Antidegradation Review (New/Expanding Discharge): The objective of an antidegradation review is to ensure that a new or increased pollutant loading will not degrade water quality. Permitting actions for new or expanding discharges require an antidegradation review in accordance with 15A NCAC 2B.0201. Each applicant for a new/expanding NPDES permit must document an effort to consider non-discharge alternatives per 15A NCAC 2H.0105( c)(2). In all cases, existing instream water uses and the level of water quality necessary to protect the existing use is maintained and protected. If applicable, describe the results of the antidegradation review, including the Engineering Alternatives Analysis (EAA) and any water quality modeling results: NA. 9. Antibacksliding Review: Sections 402(o)(2) and 303(d)(4) of the CWA and federal regulations at 40 CFR 122.44(l) prohibit backsliding of effluent limitations in NPDES permits. These provisions require effluent limitations in a reissued permit to be as stringent as those in the previous permit, with some exceptions where limitations may be relaxed (e.g., based on new information, increases in production may warrant less stringent TBEL limits, or WQBELs may be less stringent based on updated RPA or dilution). Page 8 of 10 Are any effluent limitations less stringent than previous permit (YES/NO): NO. If YES, confirm that antibacksliding provisions are not violated: NA. 10. Monitoring Requirements Monitoring frequencies for NPDES permitting are established in accordance with the following regulations and guidance: 1) State Regulation for Surface Water Monitoring, 15A NCAC 2B.0500; 2) NPDES Guidance, Monitoring Frequency for Toxic Substances (7/15/2010 Memo); 3) NPDES Guidance, Reduced Monitoring Frequencies for Facilities with Superior Compliance (10/22/2012 Memo); 4) Best Professional Judgement (BPJ). Per US EPA (Interim Guidance, 1996), monitoring requirements are not considered effluent limitations under Section 402(o) of the Clean Water Act, and therefore anti-backsliding prohibitions would not be triggered by reductions in monitoring frequencies. For instream monitoring, refer to Section 4. 11. Electronic Reporting Requirements The US EPA NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was finalized on December 21, 2015. Effective December 21, 2016, NPDES regulated facilities are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) electronically. Effective December 21, 2020, NPDES regulated facilities will be required to submit additional NPDES reports electronically. This permit contains the requirements for electronic reporting, consistent with Federal requirements. 12. Summary of Proposed Permitting Actions: A. Table.

Sludge management Plan The sludge from this facility is created from 100%domestic sewerage. Routine settled sludge volumes and as needed mixed liquor concentrations are the primary tools the operator employs to determine sludge wasting rates.A quiescent environment is periodically created in the aerated sludge storage tank and water is manually removed with an electric pump in an effort to thicken same for disposal.The decanted liquid is returned to the aeration basin.Ultimate offsite disposal is determined to be necessary when the operator can no long dewater the waste sludge any further.This waste,dewater,disposal cycle is typically every 3 to 4 months. Please find herewith attached the completed renewal application by Metwater,Inc.on behalf of our client. Thank you for your patience with regards to this matter.

The treated wastewater is discharged into an unnamed tributary into McGill Branch a class C stream, part of the Catawba River Basin. Based on the most recent information obtained, the Gastonia WWTP regional system main service line is approximately 2,200 feet from this outfall. Future plans for connecting to the regional system is unknown. The unnamed tributary provides little flow and is considered to be zero flow for evaluation purposes. Untreated domestic wastewater is introduced to the plant headworks where it’s screened, then flows to the package plant aerator basin, and then flows to a clarifier. The clarified wastewater enters the tablet chlorinator, continues through the effluent meter, exits the package plant, and then flows through a tablet de-chlorinator. The treated waste water exits the de-chlorinator and discharges trough the outfall to the unnamed tributary. A composite sampler collects effluent samples. Sludge is intermittently removed to a sludge digestor for storage. A certified contract service is used to remove and dispose of the accumulated sludge. COMPLIANCE HISTORY A review of October 2005 to current compliance performance, shows this facility has reoccurring violations of BOD (22 violations) and Ammonia as nitrogen (23 violations) effluent limits, both the daily maximum and the monthly average maximum. The DMR data shows a trend towards increasing violations for BOD and Ammonia as nitrogen. Prior to October 2007 there were TRC violations but none since. Enforcement was administered as deemed appropriate. A settlement agreement was signed on 6/14/11 with milestone corrective actions to complete specific equipment improvements. The terms of the agreement require completion of equipment Fact Sheet NPDES NC0062278 Page 2 of 3 improvements by December 31, 2011 and demonstrate compliance. Upon completion of all agreement terms to the Division satisfaction the civil penalty balance will be reduced to $2,713.26. PERMITTING STRATEGY No changes to the effluent limits or monitoring requirements were needed other than amending the TRC footnote narrative. The permittee did upon request provide the location of the Gastonia WWTP regional sewer line but did not make any comments on future plans to connect. Consequently, in the draft the existing permit Special Condition A. (2.) was removed and a recommendation was made in the draft cover letter for the Permittee to continue to pursue connecting to Gastonia. Also, per the regions request inserted in the draft cover letter a commentary on extending the outfall pipe. The extension possibility was initiated during the region 2010 inspection visit. The feasibility of extending the line is unknown. During the comment period the region reviewed the draft permit and has recommended a special condition requirement be added that requires the Permittee to investigate connecting to the Gastonia Regional System. The July 2011 settlement agreement requires equipment improvements over the next 6 months to resolve past compliance issue but does not impose any actions to pursue connecting to Gastonia. The connection to the Gastonia Regional System would be a future step to eliminate this discharge and may become even more valid if compliance issues persist. To allow the Permittee to focus his resources in a timely manner, the special condition for the Gastonia Regional System connection will be an initial investigation followed by a report to the Mooresville Regional Office, not required any major engineering or a final design, and have a due date of January 1, 2013. This facility currently has no WET toxicity requirements as it is a minor discharge and has been assigned ammonia as nitrogen limits. The ammonia limits serve as limits for toxicity. Data review DMRs were reviewed for the period of January 2008 to August 2010. DMR data is summarized in Table I below: Table I Flow (MGD) Dissolved Oxygen (mg/L) BOD (mg/L) TSS (mg/L) NH3-N (mg/l) Fecal Coliform (#//l00 ml) Total Residual Chlorine (mg/l) Average 0.0100 9.46 6.39 6.63 3.69 6.1 <15 Maximum 0.016 14.0 23.8 30.8 25.8 120 <15 Minimum 0.006 6.6 <2.0 < 2.0 < 0.1 <1 <15 Instream Data Impact Temperature and Dissolved Oxygen are measured routinely at designated points upstream and downstream from the discharge into the unnamed tributary. Because of the small steam flow, this effluent had a positive impact as it consistently added dissolved oxygen and sustain the dissolved oxygen level above the water quality standard downstream. However, the increasing effluent ammonia and BOD levels will offset some of these gains. Will continue instream monitoring program at same locations. SUMMARY OF PROPOSED CHANGES In keeping with Division policies the following will be incorporated into the permit: • Effluent page TRC footnote amended. • Existing permit Special Condition A. (2.) removed. Fact Sheet NPDES NC0062278 Page 3 of 3 • New permit Special Condition A. (2.) added.

REGAN S. DANIEL SMITH norfew Mr. Sam Misuraca Berkley Oaks, LLC 821 West Eleven Mile Road Royal Oaks, MI 48067 Dear Mr. Misuraca: NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality February 6, 2020 Subject: Notice of Deficiency Compliance Evaluation Inspection NOD-2020-PC-0025 Berkley Oaks WWTP NPDES Permit No. NCO062278 Gaston County Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection report for the inspection conducted at the subject facility on November 28, 2018, by Ori Tuvia and Michael Meilinger. The cooperation of Gregory Trombello during the site visit was much appreciated. Please advise the staff involved with this NPDES Permit by forwarding a copy of the enclosed report. Overall the site condition appears to have improved from the previous inspection. The main areas of concern observed during this inspection were as follows: 1. Floor grating was broken at the entrance to the plant. Floor grating should be repaired to ensure the safety of the ORC/operators and DWR staff. 2. At the time of inspection, the required records/reports could not be reviewed due to the fact they are not maintained on site. Per permit condition Part II, Section D.6 the Permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information, including: D all calibration and maintenance records D all original strip chart recordings for continuous monitoring instrumentation copies of all reports required by this permit copies of all data used to complete the application for this permit The records were eventually sent for review in the mail three weeks after the inspection. If copies (electronic or hard copies) of these records/reports were maintained on site, it would greatly assist the inspector to conduct a thorough inspection. These records/reports should include: a copy of the permit, DMR's and any associated lab data/documentation lab results, chain of custody, calibration data, solids removal records).

Thank you, Ori From: Denard, Derek Sent: Monday, August 10, 2020 2:29 AM To: Tuvia, Ori A <ori.tuvia@ncdenr.gov> Subject: Renewal of NC0062278 Berkley Oaks Mobile Home Park WWTP Ori, I working on the renewal for NC0062278 Berkley Oaks Mobile Home Park WWTP. Did the regional office ever receive the regional sewer connection investigation by March 31, 2016? Attached is my draft so far, but I am stuck on this condition. See Condition A.(2.) that is highlighted. If we didn't get it from the previous owner, then there may not be a point in a NOV to the new owner. We should just maintain the condition for the renewal with a new date? Hope you are having a good one! Derek Derek Denard Environmental Specialist N.C. Division of Water Resources N.C.
