Dear Mr. Snider:

FEB 0 8 2021
Winston-Salem
Regional Office
I am responding to the Certified Mail Notice dated January 25, 2021, that we received on January 29,
2021, with regards to the "Notice of Violation & Intent to Issue Civil Penalty" for Tracking # NOV-2021-
DV-0045. With regards to the ten (10) business days' response that is required upon receipt of this
notice, we are submitting this written request to provide explanation of the noncompliance issues noted.
As for the incident cited as Incident Number 202002832 (at 580 East Main Street. on October 25, 2020), a
Notice of Intent (NOI) was provided as the DWR Action.
As for the incidents cited as Incident Number 202002880 (at Regional Pump Station, 580 E. Main Street,
on October 29, 2020), Incident Number 202002881 (at Crater Park on October 29, 2020), Incident
Number 202002882 (at Library on October 29, 2020), Incident Number 202002883 (at 205 South Bridge
Street on October 29, 2020), Incident Number 202002884 (at 131 South Bridge Street on October 29,
2020), Incident Number 202002885 (at Ronda Park Pump Station on October 29, 2020), and Incident
Number 202002886 (at Winston Road Hwy 67 on October 29, 2020), a Notice of Violation (NOV) was
issued. This incident was due to inflow and infiltration, and severe natural conditions.
As for the incident cited as Incident Number 202002459(at Regional PS, Hwy 268 E on August 21, 2020)
a Notice of Intent (NOI) was provided as the DWR Action.

For this incident, please review the following information to explain what happened during the time of
this occurrence as well as corrective action that has been implemented to correct for this sanitary sewer
overflow:
1) Around 3:15 AM on October 25, 2020, YVSA Staff received notice of "High -Level" alarm at the
Regional Pump Station from the SCADA system within the Collection System.
2) Upon receipt of these alarms, staff responded immediately by heading out to monitor the
situation.
3) Later in the morning while making rounds during the rain event, Staff noticed spilling at manhole
#980.
4) Please note that during this time there was approximately 2.5 to 3 inches of rain during a small-
time frame. The rain was so excessive that the Big Elkin Creek came out of its banks, and it was
during this time there was also excessive groundwater contributing to increased inflow and
infiltration.
5) As for this entire week and previous week (*** please see the enclosed flow charts from the
WWTP from October 23, 2020 through October 27, 2020), we can see the flow was elevated due
to the excessive amount of rain the prior weeks. Therefore when the 2.5 to 3 inches of rain came,
this inflow caused excessive flow to the Regional PS area, therefore; this lead to the SSO at
Manhole # 980 behind the Regional PS.
6) Staff noticed the spill started approximately around 6:00 AM and continued until around 8:00
AM at manhole #980 (behind Regional PS).
7) The volume of this SSO reported to NCDEQ was 2,500 gallons that discharged into the Yadkin
River. Total Volume of the spill was 2,500 gallons.
8) ***Please be advised that the YVSA Board and staff would like to stress that this SSO was
definitely inadvertent (or involuntary). It is the intent of the YVSA staff to continue in a
multifaceted manner to address all sanitary sewer overflows and work towards preventing such
incidents in the future with regards to the Collections System.
I have attached a Cost Analysis sheet of including the emergency response time by staff as well as the
cost for publication into the local newspaper. [See `Cost Analysis for 10/25/2020, and 10/29/2020 SSOs.]
The total amount spent for regular pay, and publication affidavits was $1,587.43.]
***I have also attached the flow charts for the W WTP from Friday, October 23' thru Tuesday October
271, and Wednesday, October 28' thru Saturday, October 31st. Our permitted flow for the WWTP is 1.8
MGD. Our normal flow is around 700,000 gallons per day. Flow for 10/23/2020 was 0.897 MGD; by
10/24/2020, the flow had increased to 1.335 MGD, and by 10/25/2020 was 2.346MGD. As for
10/26/2020, the flow had dropped to 1.095 MGD and by 10/27/2020 the flow was down to 0.952 MGD.
The flows from 10/23/2020 through 10/27/2020, there was 6,630,000 gallons (with an average of
1,330,000 gallons) that flowed to the WWTP (please see enclosed receipt tape with flow charts). I also
attached a copy of the press release showing publication of the SSO, which was published at a rate of
67.80.
Flow for 10/27/2020 was .952 MGD; by 10/28/2020, the flow had increased to 1.528 MGD, and by
10/29/2020 was 1.756 MGD. As for 10/30/2020, the flow had increased to 1.824 MGD and by
10/31/2020 the flow was down to 1.169 MGD. The flows from 10/27/2020 through 10/31/2020, there was
7,230,000 gallons (with an average of 1,450,000 gallons) that flowed to the WWTP (please see enclosed
receipt tape with flow charts). I also attached a copy of the press release showing publication of the
SSO, which was published at a rate of $139.80,

For your convenience, we have also supplied you with an updated `YADKIN VALLEY SEWER
AUTHORITY PROJECT FUNDING SUMMARY' (from the time of YVSA's inception and
updated as of January 12, 2021). Please note that the total cost for all projects total $19,291,428.
[Furthermore, through the due diligence of staff and our engineering firm, we have been able to
successfully obtain $10,739,930 of this total amount in GRANT monies! The remaining amount
total for local matches and/or 0% loans is $8,551,498.1 Anyways, this total funding amount of
$19,291,428 has come around since the YVSA started operations on July 1, 2010. These projects
included past projects as well as more upcoming and `in process' projects such as these:
a. SW Elkin Collection System Improvements - $1,316,189 (COMPLETE);

p. Streambank Mitigation — FEMA- $365,000. (0% complete)
q. Please note that this Summary does not include the grant and loan amount obtained to
create the YVSA through the Regionalization Project. These amounts total another
$6,275,000, for which $4,000,000 was grant and the remaining amount was from two (2)
loans - $1,000,000 at 2.55% interest and $1,275,000 at 2.95%o interest. [Refer to the
`YVSA ANALYSIS OF FY 2020 - 2021 DEBT SERVICE PAYMENTS' enclosed
attachment that provides the current balances for these two (2) loans entitled `Waste
Treatment Improvements (1)' and Waste Treatment Improvements (2)'.]
Now, the YVSA would like to provide that we are continuously improving our Collections System (as
well as upgrading our W WTP). I have also attached our most recent `Capital Improvement Plan — CIP'
(revised and updated this past April 22, 2020). Please note that there is a little over $15 million dollars
still needed for future rehabilitation, pump station upgrades, etc, still needed. We will continuously strive
to obtain grant and/or low interest loan funding to complete the items needed on this CIP.
Additionally, the following should be noted:
1. YVSA reports every SSO in accordance with its collection system permit.
2. YVSA has spent or has committed to spending over $17 million on capital projects to improve
the entire wastewater system.

3. YVSA has planned for an additional $11 million for near future capital projects (on the current
CIP).
4. Most of the pump stations have been rehabilitated, upgraded, or eliminated such that SSO's due
to equipment failures are now rare.
5. SSO's are now mainly attributable to I/1. Much of the focus of current projects is on I/I reduction.
6. Efforts are still underway to find the sources of I/I, such as the current High Priority Areas AIA
project.
7. Due to the size of the task of identifying and addressing sources of M, YVSA needs as much time
as the State can give it to accomplish this goal.
8. Current projects scheduled to be completed by end of 2021.
Now, please note that the YVSA Board and staff are very aware that the incidents noted above are a
serious infraction of our Collection System NPDES Permit No. WQCS00376. However, please be
advised that the YVSA Board and Staff would like to stress that these SSOs were definitely inadvertent
(or involuntary). It is the intent of the YVSA Staff to minimize such occurrences from happening;
however, there are some severe natural events (conditions) that are beyond our control.
We would also like to mention that the YVSA staff is working attentively to address any and all
corrective actions to prevent future SSOs in the Collections System as noted above. Please feel free to
contact Ms. Nicole Johnston (Executive Director of the YVSA) at 336-835-9819 if you need further
information.
Thank you for your assistance with this `NOV & Intent to Issue Civil Penalty' for the incidents cited
above. We look forward to hearing your response soon.
Sincerely,

A review has been conducted of the self -reported Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSO's) 5-Day Report/s submitted by
Yadkin Valley Sewer Authority. The Division's Winston-Salem Regional Office concludes that the Yadkin Valley
Sewer Authority violated Permit Condition I (2) of Permit No. WQCS00376 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 Winston-Salem Regional Office is providing the Yadkin Valley Sewer Authority an opportunity to provide
evidence and justification as to why the Yadkin Valley Sewer Authority should not be assessed a civil penalty for

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.
