Warren Jr. City of Roxboro PO Box 128 Roxboro, North Carolina 27573 Subject Final NPDES Permit Renewal Permit NC00021024 Roxboro WWTP Person County Grade IV WPCS Dear Mr. Warren: ROY COOPER Gommor MICHAEL S. REGAN Secretary LINDA CULPEPPER Interim Director Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES permit This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). In response to your comments on the draft permit the Division made the following changes to the permit • The Division agrees to change the monitoring frequency for BOD, TSS, and fecal coliform to 2/week. Monitoring for ammonia was also modified to 2/week until the new limit takes effect. Once the new limits are in effect the facility shall monitor on a daily basis and may request a reduction in monitoring after one year of data is collected. • The Division agrees to reducing the monitoring frequency for oil & grease to monthly. • The Division does not agree to change the expiration date to 2023 as we use a basinwide schedule to renew all the permits in the same basin at the same time. There are two options to complete the second species toxicity tests, four tests in one year or annual for four years. If the facility selects to perform the bests annually and doesn't have the results at the time the permit application is submitted, you can submit the results at a later time. • The schedule of compliance for copper was eliminated from the permit as requested. • Upstream sampling for hardness was eliminated from the permit as the discharge is to a zero flow stream. This final permit contains the following changes from your previous permit A reasonable potential analysis (RPA) was performed based on recent effluent data. As a result of the RPA limits for copper and quarterly monitoring for nickel were added to the permit. Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and program reports. The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective on December 21, 2015. The requirement to begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWWs Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application has been added to your final NPDES permit.

(2) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY) 115A NCAC 02B.0200] The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90%. The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December 2010, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase It Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised- December 2010) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September, and December. These months signify the first month of each three-month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure' (Revised -December 2010) or subsequent versions. All toxicity besting results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THF3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWR Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.

Annual Averaee The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Dad The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Ouarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sam rile A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or Version 11/09/2011.2 tvrJES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 (4) Constant timetconstant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also "Composite Sample," above.) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling.

Instantaneous flow measurement The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in that instance. To the extent.practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge during that sampling period. Monthly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. in the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Resources. Quarterly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe urooerty damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.

NW Permit NCO021024 A (2) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90%. The permittee shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of March, June, September, and December. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. If the test procedure, performed as the first test of any single quarter, results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months, as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase 11 Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP313 for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Environmental Sciences Section North Carolina Division of Water Quality 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed aquatic toxicity test forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Section at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.

Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Averaee The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Week The period from Sunday through the following Saturday. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or Version 1110912011 rPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 (4) Constant timetconstant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Perminees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also "Composite Sample," above.) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).

Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 mL collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Version 11/09/2011 Ef _ nit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement The flow measured during the minimum time required for the flow measuring device or method to produce a result in that instance. To the extent practical, instantaneous flow measurements coincide with the collection of any grab samples required for the same sampling period so that together the samples and flow are representative of the discharge during that sampling period. Monthly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform or other bacterial parameters or indicators, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe orooerty damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(axl) of the CWA. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements.

[15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(14)] Pass Through A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Permittee) NPDES, collection system or non -discharge permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)] Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW) A treatment works as defined by Section 212 of the CWA, which is owned by a State or local government organization. This definition includes any devices and systems used in the storage, treatment, recycling and reclamation of municipal sewage or industrial wastes of a liquid nature. It also includes the collection system, as defined in 15A NCAC 2T .0402, only if it conveys wastewater to a POTW treatment plant. The term also means the local government organization, or municipality, as defined in section 502(4) of the CWA, which has jurisdiction over indirect discharges to and the discharges from such a treatment works. In this context, the organization may be the owner of the POTW treatment plant or the owner of the collection system into which an indirect discharger discharges. This second type of POTW may be referred to as a "satellite POTW organization." [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(26)] "Significant Industrial User" or "SIU" An Industrial User that discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and that [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(33)1: I .

As you are aware from the DMR and our email correspondence with Scott Vinson on May 23, 2022, this monitoring violation occurred as described to Mr. Vinson as follows: Our Lab Supervisor Crystal Shotwell informed me that we failed to called an effluent Nh3 sample on 4/1/2022. Our NPDES permit only required Nh3 samples on our effluent twice/week until new limits and a daily monitoring requirement took effect on Dec. 1, 2021. We consistently sampled our effluent for Nh3 daily during the time prior to and after the December 1, 2021 changes. I have spoken to the Lab Supervisor and believe this to be an isolated incident, in our discussion I asked her to emphasized the importance of reviewing the established "checklist' daily so that instances like this can be avoided in the future. She agreed and assured me that she would be having that conversation with our Lab Technician. . In addition to this issue, your letter is addressed to Thomas S Warren, Jr who has retired from the City. The City of Roxboro submitted a change in signatory form on July 8, 2021 and that change has not been noted at DWR. Attached are the emails and Change of Signatory information.

DANIEL SMITH Director City of Roxboro PO Box 128 Roxboro, NC 27573 To Whom It May Concern: 5C9230369 NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality March 2, 2022 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Roxboro WWTP NPDES Permit No. NCO021024 Person County On February 15, 2022, Stephanie Goss and Molly Nicholson of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted an inspection at the subject facility. The cooperation of Derek Clayton, operator in responsible charge (ORC) and Van Rogers (Back-up ORC), was greatly appreciated. Findings during the inspection were as follows: 1. The current NPDES permit was issued effective November 1, 2018 and will expire on May 31, 2022. The Division received the City's renewal application on November 22, 2021 and is in the process of renewing this NPDES permit. 2. The City of Roxboro's Wastewater Treatment Plant is a W W-4 Classification. 3. As reflected in the subject permit and as observed during the inspection, the 5.0 MUD treatment plant consists of a septic tank unloading facility, two bar screens, two grit removal devices, two aeration basins, three secondary clarifiers, disinfection system using sodium hypochlorite with two contact chambers, dechlorination system using calcium thiosulfate, two aerobic digesters, sludge dewatering facility, three sludge drying beds, and a standby power generator. 4. The Roxboro W WTP was under construction due to plant upgrades during the time of the inspection. 5. The plant discharges to Marlowe Creek which is classified as C waters in the Roanoke River Basin. 6. One aeration basin was in operation during the time of the inspection and appeared to be operating satisfactorily. Foam was observed on approximately 20% of the surface of the basin. The second aeration basin was not in use because the facility is able to meet the D_E Q�� North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources Raleigh Regional Office 13800 Barrett Drive I Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 DocuSign Envelope ID: 1C8F8338-EA36-4A77-91 A5C9230369 Page 12 permit requirements based on current flows with out incurring additional electrical costs. Mr. Clayton stated it is used as an equalization basin on an as needed basis. Mr. Clayton stated that their three clarifiers are approximately twelve feet deep. The "East" clarifier was not in operation during the time of the inspection because it is not fully operational and is reliant on the completion of the facilities upgrades. The overflow weirs on the "Middle" and "West" clarifiers appeared to be level and mostly free of algae. A sludge judge on the "Middle" and "West" clarifier showed the sludge depth to be approximately two feet deep in each. 8. The influent and effluent samples are collected by hand using a graduated cylinder to collect the correct aliquot volume based of flow. The aliquot volume is calculated flow proportionally using the chart recorder on an hourly basis within a 24-hour period. The sample is added to a labeled influent and effluent container and kept refrigerated until it is poured up into sample containers. The refrigerated units were maintained at the proper temperature, < 6 degrees C. 9. The facility records their flow by using the chart recorder flow meter and was calibrated on November 22, 2021 by Instrumentation Services, Inc bi-annually. 10. Mr. Clayton stated aerobic digestor # 1 approximately holds 500,000 gallons and was approximately halfway full during the time of the inspection. Mr. Clayton stated Aerobic digestor #2 is approximately 1,000,000 gallons and was approximately 9 feet full during the time of the inspection. Once the sludge is dewatered, it is transferred to the dewatering facility where the sludge is sent into a centrifuge and a polymer added to dewater the sludge. 11. Mr. Clayton stated that their sludge is hauled in the fall on a yearly basis by Synagro where the sludge is land applied. Synagro land applies sludge under permit # W00021826. 12. Mr. Clayton stated that the facility's chemical feed system for sodium hypochlorite is used daily and is added into the two contact chambers. 13. Mr. Clayton stated that the facility uses calcium thiosulfate for dechlorination, and it is added below the chlorine contact basin before the effluent reaches the outfall to Marlowe Creek. 14. Mr. Clayton stated the onsite diesel generator is tested under load monthly. 15. A review of discharge monitoring report (DMR) data for the period January 2020 through December 2021 showed all required monitoring was performed. 16. A cursory review of laboratory and DMR data for February 2021 and October 2021 showed consistent reporting of results. DoouSign Envelope ID: 1CSF8338-EA36.4A77-9 A5C9230369 Page 13 17. A cursory review of calibration logs showed acceptable calibration for the on -site parameters. 18. Mr. Clayton stated there are two industries in the Town of Roxboro which are the Eaton Corporation and Spuntech. 19. The effluent discharge appeared free of excess solids. No detrimental impacts to Marlowe Creek were observed. 20. A daily operator logbook is kept online which details daily operations, problems and when the plant conducts wasting of the sludge. 21. As required by NCGS 143-215.1C, the City of Roxboro prepares and makes available to its customers an Annual Performance Report. Mr. Clayton stated he presents his findings to the City in August of every year and it is distributed via mail to the City's customers with their water bills.

As you are aware from the DMR and our email correspondence with Mitch Hayes on December 22, 2020, exceeding this level occurred as a direct result of a rainfall event that resulted in 1.88 inches of rain between 11/29/20 & 11/30/20. An Influent daily flow total of 5.59 mgd occurred between the hours of 7am on 11/30/20 and 7am on 12/1/20 and the composite sample for 12/1/20 was collected during these hours. Activated sludge basin aerators were either all or partially off for 16 of the 24 hours in which the composite sample was collected. The aerators were off and the solids were allowed to settle in the sludge basin to prevent solids washout due to excessive flow rates. The construction activities of our new oxidation ditch have created some temporary flow restrictions and partial outages of some of our clarifiers. The completion of the WWTP upgrade as well as addressing identified I & I problem areas in the collection system should greatly reduce the chances of future violations of our copper limits. The City of Roxboro strives to provide its citizens with a safe and reliable wastewater treatment facility and will work with your office in anyway to provide the best customer service to our citizens. Please feel free to call our office at (336) 599-5658, if you have any questions regarding these or any other reports. Sincerely, Thomas S.

The assistance prodded by Derek Clayton, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), Van Rogers, back-up ORC, and Crystal Shotwell, Laboratory Supervisor, was greatly appreciated. Below is a summary from review of the permit and the inspection: The current permit was issued September 25, 2018. became effective November 01, 2018 and expires May 31, 2022. A permit modification vas issued September 22, 2020 to modify the schedule of compliance for the new ammonia limits becoming effective December 01, 2021. 2. The 5 MGD facility consists of the following units: septic tank unloading facility; two (2) mechanical bar screens; two (2) mechanical grit chambers; two (2) EQ basins with aeration; three (3) secondary clarifiers; liquid sodium hypochlorite disinfection system with two (2) contact chambers; calcium thiosulfate dechlorination system; sludge centrifuge dewatering facility; two (2) aerobic digesters; three (3) sludge drying beds: and an on -site generator to provide back-up power. 3. At the time of inspection, both mechanical bar screens and grit chambers were in operation. One EQ basin was being used due to low inflow. All aerators in the EQ basin being used was in operation. Two out of three secondary clarifiers were in use. The third was not being used due to low inflow. Effluent flowing over the weirs appeared clear. The liquid disinfection system and dechlorination system were operating normally. The sludge centrifuge dewatering system was not in use. Both digesters were in use at the time of inspection. One digester measured 2.7 feet deep and the other measured 3.9 feet. There was no sludge in the sludge drying beds. Effluent appeared clear at the discharge point. 4. Synagro is contracted to haul solids away and apply them to the City's permitted sites under permit WQ0021826. This permit will expire August 31, 2021. The Roxboro WWTP laboratory is certified (certification number 191) for fecal colifonn, BOD, total residual chlorine, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, ammonia nitrogen, pH, total suspended solids and temperature. Meritech's environmental laboratory analyzes the remaining pen -nit parameters. 6. Commercial lab results, chain of custody records, and bench sheets were compared with data submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) for November 2020. No discrepancies were noted. Discharge Monitoring Reports for the review period December 2018 through November 2020 were checked for compliance with permit limits and monitoring requirements. Monitoring violations for dissolved oxygen and temperature were noted for the week ending January 26, 2019. There were no other violations.

Comment: Page# 9 Mr. Zach Thomas Environmental Specialist NCDENR Mr. Jason Robinson Environmental Engineer NCDENR Date: 8/25/2020 Subject: Roxboro WWTP (NPDES NC0021024) Influent Flow Monitoring Mr. Thomas Mr. Robinson As you know the Roxboro WWTP is in the process of being upgraded and recently I informed you that our contractor would be making an Influent Diversion Box tie-in. That Influent Diversion Box tie-in was completed August 8`h and 9' as noted in an email to each of you on 8/12/2020. (See the attached drawing) Since that time we've seen a significant increase in our Influent flow numbers during rain events. I made our Public Services Director Andrew M. Oakley, PE aware of this and he modeled the situation that exist and determined that our current flow monitoring is accurate until it reaches 9.25 mg. After that amount of flow the outlet starts acting like an orifice and stops behaving like a weir. As a result, he recommended that I inform you that Influent flows above 9 mg are and will be influenced by the ongoing construction. We will eventually have effluent flow monitoring as part of the overall WWTP upgrade but it's not available at this time. This issue will resolve itself once the influent flow and biological treatment is transferred to the new Oxidation Ditch, however at this point we don't know when that will happen. If you need additional information please contact me at 336-599-8232 or Mr. Oakley at 336-599-5658. Sincerely, Derek Clayton WWTP Supt. City of Roxboro i � f --------------- - `..

Send all suspicious email as an attachment to reoort.soamPnc.eov Mr. Thomas, Mr. Robinson The Roxboro W WTP Influent Diversion Box Tie -In noted in an email to each of you July 30, 2020 was completed August 8th & 9th. Influent flow monitoring was interrupted during the tie-in period due to the conditions described in the original email. Flow monitoring was resumed on Monday August I Oth at 9AM. As I told Mr. Thomas during a phone call on Monday August I Oth everything went well and we did not experience any spills during the completion of this work. This email and phone call to Mr. Thomas this morning is an effort to determine how you'd like me to report the missing flow data from 8/8/20 & 8/9/20 on the upcoming eDMR. Unless directed otherwise I will mark the August 2020 eDMR as non -compliant for flow monitoring. I'll also reference the July 30th 2020 and August 12th 2020 emails along with three phone conversations that I've had with Mr. Thomas concerning the diversion box tie-in and the resulting "anticipated non-compliance" for flow in the comments section of the edmr. It is always our intention to meet the conditions of our NPDES permit. However, in this case the non-compliance was unavoidable due to planned construction work related to the 23 million dollar upgrade at the Roxboro W WTP . If you have any questions or need additional information please let me know. Sincerely, Derek Clayton W WTP Supt.

To comply with these guidelines, I've been instructed by the Asst. City Manager to divide our staff of ten employees into two equal groups of five, Group A and Group B. The groups were determined by the current schedule and other factors. Group A... Working April 6 — April 12 Derek Clayton Crystal Shotwell Jeff Irby Casey Wilson Barney Joe Compton Group B... Working April 13 — April 19 Van Rogers Nicki Dalton Anthony McGregor Adam Ashley Randy Wilson Operators in the same group can practice social distancing at shift change however when operators from different groups change shifts they are to leave as soon as the relief operator comes in with little to no contact. Any communication that needs to be made between the two operator groups at shift change should be done on the phone. Let me know if you have questions. Thanks for all you do, Derek Clayton WWTP Supt.

As stated in the email to Mr. Thomas, dated 1/31/2019,1 immediately revised our operator daily log to include a verification requirement to be completed by our night shift operator who comes in daily at 5pm. In the event there is no data recorded on the log for any given day the night shift operator will get the effluent DO & temperature within his first hour of the shift and notify me, the Chief Operator or Lab Supervisor. If the data is present on the daily log, the nightshift operator will simply initial that he did look and verify that it had been done. A memo to our staff was sent out with these requirements. I will also be sharing your violation notification with our W WTP staff in an effort to bring awareness of both the individual and staff responsibilities we must meet to ensure compliance with all the conditions of our NPDES permit. We take these conditions very seriously therefore I can assure you of three things; 1. We will make every effort to maintain compliance with the conditions of our permit. 2.

March 1, 2019 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Roxboro Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) NPDES Permit No. NCO021024 Person County Dear Mr. Ayscue: On January 31, 2019, Cheng Zhang of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the subject facility. The assistance provided by Mr. Derek Clayton, the operator in responsible charge (ORC), and Ms. Crystal Shotwell, the Laboratory Supervisor, was greatly appreciated as it facilitated the inspection process. The inspection report is attached. The following observations were made: Roxboro WWTP is permitted to discharge at a rate of 5.0 MGD and consists of: septic tank unloading facility, dual bar screens and grit removal system, two aeration basins, three secondary clarifiers, disinfection system (sodium hypochlorite) with two contact chambers, calcium thiosulfate dechlorination system, two aerobic digesters, sludge dewatering facility, and three sludge drying beds. The facility discharges into Marlowe Creek, which is classified C waters in the Roanoke Basin. 1. The current permit became effective on October 1, 2018. 2. At the time of inspection, all listed treatment units were in operable conditions. One of the two aeration basins was online due to low flow. Lower effluent ammonia limits will become effective on September 1, 2019. Accordingly, construction (a new oxidation ditch and two aerobic digesters) was underway as specified in the Authorization to j Construct issued by the 1-...,;ion. When the new oxidation ditch is ... service, the two existing aeration basins will be converted into equalization basins. 3. Wasted activated sludge is treated and thickened in the two aerobic digesters. Final sludge is either hauled away for land application or further dewatered with the sludge centrifuge. Sludge cake was stored at the covered storage area. 4. The ORC maintains a daily logbook. Lab results, chain -of -custody forms, and DMRs were complete and current, kept in good order and ready for review. October 2018 DMR data were compared to lab bench sheets; no data transcription errors were noted. Influent and effluent flow meters were calibrated annually. 5. The right of way to the outfall was well maintained. No visible impacts were noted immediately downstream the effluent pipe. 6. Field lab parameter (Certificate No. 191) calibration and analysis records were reviewed during the inspection. If you have any questions regarding the attached reports or any of the findings, please contact Cheng Zhang at: (919) 791-4200 (or email: cheng zhany(dincdenngov). Sincerely, tck Bolich, L.G.

In an effort to keep this from happening again I've revised our operator daily log to include a verification requirement to be completed by our night shift operator who comes in daily at 5pm. In the event there is no data recorded on the log for any given day the night shift operator will get the effluent DO & temperature within his first hour of the shift and notify me, the Chief Operator or Lab Supervisor. If the data is present on the daily log, the nightshift operator will simply initial that he did look and verify that it had been done. A memo to our staff was sent out earlier today with these new requirements. Let me know if you have any questions, Sincerely, Derek Clayton WWTP Supt.

Yes _No Not sure see additional comments Surface Water Name: _Yes _X_No Was WWTP compliant with permit requirements? _X_Yes No Were samples taken during event? _X_Yes No Marlowes Creek Source of the Upset/Spill/Bypass (Location or Treatment Unit). At 11:47 am on 9/17/18 during a period that our facility experienced 20mg plus flow rates for 3.5 hours continuously, a bar screen shear pin failure resulted in water backing up and out of the manhole "pick" holes approx. 100 feet upstream from the bar screen inside the POTW. The estimated volume was calculated based on the NCDENR website guidance. Diameter of pick hole 1", number of pick holes 16... height of water from pick hole 1" result from guidance chart for each hole... 0.94 gpm x time in minutes 10 x 16 holes = 150 gallons. Once the screen was cleared manually the bypass stopped. Cause or Reason for the Upset/Spill/Bypass: Severe Natural Conditions: Heavy rain from Hurricane Florence on 9/17/18 resulted in one of our influent bar screens breaking a shear pin at a 20mg plus flow rate. The bypass occurred during the ten minutes it took to clear the bar screen manually. Repeated attempts were made on the 17" to replace the shear pin but each time the new pin broke as well. Operators manually cleaned the screen until flow rates dropped enough to have all the flow go through the other channel. Spill/Bypass Reporting Form (August 2014) North Carolina Dep.,;ment of Environment and Natural Resources Describe the Repairs Made or Actions Taken: On Tuesday the 18`h the influent channel directly in front of the bar screen was cleared of grit, gravel and rock which had accumulated during and after the initial shear pin break. There was damage to the rake "teeth" on all four rakes so they were replaced with new ones. Bar Screen was repaired, tested and is now available for service if the primary screen fails or if conditions (flow rates) require both channels in operation.

No visible solids on the ground immediately around the manhole. Action Taken or Proposed to be Taken to Prevent Occurrences. We take storms like Hurricane Florence very seriously and started preparing for it on 9/10/18. On 9/12118 at 08301 had a phone conversation with NCDENR contact Zach Thomas and reviewed what we had been doing to prepare for the coming storm. One of the items discussed and documented was to inspect and tighten both screening and grit removal equipment. We will continue to do our equipment preventive maintenance and additional prep when storms like Florence are forecasted. See attached storm prep document Additional Comments About the Event: As a follow up to "Did the Spill/Bypass reach the surface waters?" The area around the manhole where this occurred is graveled and most of this water was absorbed by them. Also the storm drain in the area was protected due to the ongoing WWTP upgrade (construction) If any of the estimated 150 gallons reached the surface waters it was very small percentage of the total estimate. Our focus at that time was to clear the screen and stop the overflow not stand and watch it happen. 24-Hour Report Made To: Division of Water Resources _X_ Emergency Management Contact Name: Zach Thomas Date: 9/18118 Time: 0910 Incident # 201801809 Other Agencies Notified (Health Dept. etc): NA Person Reporting Event: _Derek Clayton Phone Number _336-599-8232 Did DWR Request an Additional Written Report? _Yes No If Yes. What Additional Information is Needed: Spill/Bypass Reporting Form (August 2014) Roxboro WWTP Subject: DWQ phone call, concerning Hurricane Florence storm prep. Date: 9/12/18 Storm Prep. What we've done! 1. Reviewed and initiated severe weather plan. 2. Topped off 600 kw generator with fuel and load tested last week. 3. Lowering rain water level in 3 mg south aeration basin that's not in use. This basin can be and has been used as an equalization basin in extreme conditions. 4. Removed materials that were in stored in areas previously flooded during hurricane and tropical storms events. 5. Checked sandbags and re -bagged ones that needed it that may be used to protect our pump station closest to the creek. This pump station was flooded during Hurricane Fran. 6. Meeting scheduled for 1 pm today with City Public Services Director, Assistant City Manager, General Contractor Haren Construction and Project Engineers to discuss plant upgrade progress and storm preparation. 7. Contractor is doing there own housekeeping and shoring up silt fences in the excavation areas. After the phone call ... Haren had KBS build a berm that was graded south to north on the west side of the excavation for the oxidation ditch. They also installed a check dam on the north side of the berm which hopefully will direct water and mud from the hillside excavation away from the east clarifier located directly across by having it empty off the hill in and around the digester / generator area. Haren also has placed plastic on the banks of the digester 2 excavation site. 8. We've notified our septic haulers that if weather conditions at the plant deteriorate, the city will not be accepting septic waste and they should call or have alternate plans for disposal. Storm Prep. What's left to do! 1. Continue to monitor the storm track. 2. Ensure staff can make it in and pick up if necessary. 3. Final Prep .... tie down sludge judges, life rings, adjust chain tension on screening / grit removal equipment Talked to Zack Thomas with DWQ at 0830 on 9/12/18 and went over this information with him. He said he / DWQ realizes that we and other facilities may flood due to the amount of rainfall associated with the storm and they wanted us to know that our staff safety was the first concern. He also said they would be checking back after the storm to find out how we faired. I assured him that we would be documenting the event if we experience flooding conditions, power outages etc ... He also left these numbers for reporting spills and other problems during the event. 1-800-858-0368, 919-733-3300 DC Manuel, Vanessa From: Derek Clayton <dclayton@cityofroxboro.com> Sent: Friday, January 12, 2018 8:48 AM To: Manuel, Vanessa Subject: RE: [External] Roxboro WWTP f(Coo 216 2 Ll CAUTION: External email.

Warren, Assistant City Manager City of Roxboro PO Box 128 Roxboro, NC 27573-0128 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Roxboro WWTP NPDES Permit NCO021024 Person County 1�57uCt�4r� ROY COOPER Governor MICHAEL S. REGAN Secretary LINDA CULPEPPER Interim Director On Thursday, November 7, 2017, Vanessa Manuel and Jeremiah Dow of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the treatment facilities located at the Roxboro Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The purpose of this inspection was to ensure compliance with the subject NPDES permit. During the inspection, the presence and cooperation of Derek Clayton, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), Van Martin Rogers, Backup ORC, and Crystal Shotwell, Pretreatment Coordinator/Lab Supervisor were helpful and appreciated. The Roxboro WWTP is located at 902 Cavel-Chub Lake Road in Roxboro, North Carolina. The facility is a grade IV activated sludge wastewater treatment plant that treats domestic and industrial wastewater and is authorized to discharge the treated wastewater through outfall 001 into Marlowe Creek, a waterbody classified as C waters within the Roanoke River Basin. This NPDES compliance evaluation inspection consisted of the following: • Review of the NPDES permit; • Review of the owner/facility information; • Review of June 2015 — August 2017 monitoring data; • Review of June 2015 — August 2017 compliance history; • On -site inspection of the laboratory; • On -site inspection of the wastewater treatment units; and • On -site inspection of the discharge outfall. "Nothing Compares -� State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality 1628 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1628 919-791-4200 Thomas S. Warren, NC002102 . November 20, 2017 Findings during the pre -inspection file review were as follows: 1. Through NPDES permit NC0021024, the City is authorized to discharge treated wastewater from Roxboro WWTP to receiving waters designated as Marlowe Creek, classified C waters in the Roanoke River Basin. At the time of the inspection, the administratively continued NPDES permit was issued effective July 1, 2013, and expired May 31, 2017. The Division received the City's permit renewal application on October 17, 2016, and is in the process of renewing this NPDES permit. 2. Roxboro WWTP, classified WW-4 (Grade IV Biological Water Pollution Control System), provides treatment and discharge through the outfall pipe to Marlowe Creek. As listed in the subject permit, the treatment components include a septic tank unloading facility, two bar screens [mechanical], two grit removal devices [mechanical], two aeration basins, three secondary clarifiers, a disinfection system (sodium hypochlorite) with two contact chambers, a calcium thiosulfate dechlorination system, two aerobic digesters, and three sludge drying beds. Since the issuance of the current permit, the following treatment unit was installed and placed into service during December 2016: Sludge dewatering facility using centrifuge technology. 3. Beginning December 21, 2016, EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule requires pernrittees to submit their discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) electronically, instead of on paper. The first DMR the Division received electronically from the City was for January 2015. To learn more about the eDMR system, please visit the Division's eDMR website at https://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr. 4. For the review period June 2015 — August 2016, no valid limit or monitoring violations were detected: No penalty assessments have been issued since July 2004, and the last Notice of Violation was issued in August 2016, for failure to monitor per the requirements of the Long - Term Monitoring Plan (LTMP). For the 2-year period ending August 2017, Roxboro WWTP has been compliant with its Whole Effluent Toxicity limit and monitoring requirements. Findings during the inspection were as follows: 5. The operator's log and supporting analytical documentation were consistent and up to date. 6. The Roxboro WWTP laboratory is certified for and self -reports monitoring data for the following parameters (certification number 191): Fecal Coliform, BOD, Total Residual Chlorine, Conductivity, Dissolved Oxygen, Ammonia Nitrogen, pH, Total Suspended Solids, and Temperature. The City uses Meritech's environmental laboratory (certification number 165) to analyze the remaining parameters required by the permit. An inspection of the meter calibration logs, standards, incubator temperatures (fecal and BOD) showed the laboratory to be compliant with record -keeping requirements. In-house thermometers are calibrated annually against the NIST certified thermometer. Most of the in-house thermometers were calibrated during January 2017. Other thermometers were calibrated in July and August 2017. The NIST certified thermometer is sent off every 5 years for calibration. The NIST certified thermometer was last calibrated on September 4, 2014. 7. The inspectors compared the December 2016 and July 2017 DMR data against Roxboro WWTP lab's bench data and Meritech's analytical results. The only discrepancy noted was the calculation of Total Nitrogen on July 5, 2017. The ORC included the analytical value for Ammonia Nitrogen (NH3N) in the calculation of Total Nitrogen. Total Nitrogen (TN) is calculated as follows: TN = TKN + NO3-N + NO2-N, where TKN is Total Kjeidahl Thomas S. Warren, NC00: November 20, 2017 Nitrogen, and NO3-N and NO2-N are Nitrate and Nitrite Nitrogen, respectively. The ORC stated he will amend the July 2017 eDMR with the corrected TN value and submit it to the Division. 8. The inspectors noted the following observations of the treatment components: a) Primary Treatment. The mechanical bar screens and grit removal chambers were in operation and did not appear to have any issues that would affect proper operation. The screenings collected after the influent flow passes through these processes are retained in a dumpster before being hauled to the landfill. The area around these units was clean and well maintained. Q 10. 11. b) Secondary Treatment. One of the 2 aeration basins was in operation. All fixed aerators were observed operational; no apparent issues of concern were observed. The second aeration basin was not in use due to low flow volume through the plant. Duckweed was observed throughout the full length of this basin. The clarifier units were all operational. The weirs appeared level, and little to no pin floc or other floating solids were observed within the units. The sludge depth in the middle and East Clarifiers were observed at 1.2 feet and less than 1 foot, respectively. The volume depth in each of these units is approximately 12-feet. c) Disinfection. The facility disinfects the treated wastewater prior to discharge using a liquid chlorine feed (sodium hypochlorite) followed by a liquid dechlorination feed (calcium thiosulfate). No issues of concern were observed with the disinfection system. d) Sludge Treatment. Waste activated sludge is removed from the clarifiers and pumped to the aerobic digesters. The ORC stated the solids are retained in the digesters as long as possible to meet the 503 requirements. Digested sludge/biosolids are pumped to the new dewatering facility for further dewatering via centrifuge and then stored on a covered concrete pad. The sludge hauler, Synagro, is contracted annually to haul the solids away and apply it to the City's permitted sites under permit WQ0021826. No issues of concern were observed with the sludge treatment system. Flow measurement at the treatment plant is performed at the influent. The flow meter is calibrated at least annually and was last calibrated on May 23, 2017. The facility also measures flow using a chart recorder. The inspectors observed the flow measurement on the chart recorder, which is located inside the administrative building, at 1.42 MGD, and the flow measurement from the ultrasonic flow meter located at the influent station at 1.65 MGD. No issues of concern were observed with the flow measurement devices. The inspectors observed the effluent discharge to Marlowe Creek via the outfall pipe to be clear with no observable solids or foam. No detrimental impacts to Marlowe Creek from the effluent discharge were observed. The ORC stated the backup generator holds 1700 gallons of fuel, which will allow the generator to run 36 hours at load. The generator has an auto -transfer switch. The facility also has the ability to manually transfer power to the generator in case the auto -transfer switch fails. At least once a month, the operators test the generator under load. Thomas S. Warren, NC002102,. November 20, 2017 The overall condition of the subject facility was compliant with the NPDES permit requirements as observed on the day of the inspection.

Hello Vanessa, I called you this morning but your voicemail indicated that you were in the field today so I spoke with Jason Robinson and let him know that we don't have a fecal coliform result for Monday 10/9/2017. I explained to Jason that the sample was collected and setup however the Lab Tech had to leave for a doctors appointment on Tuesday and we forgot to take the samples out of the incubator and do the counts. I also told Jason that we plan on collecting a sample on this Saturday the 14th and the Lab Supervisor will be reading them on Sunday. So we will have five consecutive days with fecal coliform results it just won't be Monday - Friday, it will be Tuesday - Saturday instead. If this constitutes a violation of the permit please accept my phone conversation with Jason and this email as the required reporting but if the extra sample collected and analyzed on Saturday meets the compliance criteria please let me know so I won't mark next months edmr as non -compliant.

As required we are hereby submitting the application for permit renewal of NPDES NC0021024. The plant is a 5.0 MGD extended aeration plant, that discharges to Marlowes Creek in the Roanoke River Basin. Synagro Central land applies the biosolid residuals generated from the operation of the W WTP per our land application permit W00021826. The following changes were made to the Roxboro W WTP treatment process during the 2013-2017 permit cycle. • Added a sludge dewatering facility utilizing centrifuge technology. The following is a list of major equipment replacements/rehab either completed or budgeted for completion during this permit cycle. • Both grit collectors have been replaced with new ones. • Middle (original) clarifier has been overhauled, including rebuilt drive, extensive concrete floor work and new coatings. • West (original) clarifier mechanicals have been replaced with new drive, catwalk, metal structure. • Diffusers replaced in both sides of aerobic digester. • East (1980's) clarifier mechanicals will be replaced in the 201612017 budget year. An Authorization to Construct (No. 021024A03) has been issued for modifications to the City of Roxboro W WTP. These modifications became necessary due to lower NH3 limits included in the 2013/2017 NPDES permit and become effective 9/1/2019.

It is pumped to our aerobic digesters. We have 2 digesters. Each will hold 228,000 gallons. The sludge is first pumped into our primary digester where it is aerated with compressed air. The air is distributed trough fine bubble diffusers. The air is turned off and the solids are allowed to settle so that the decant liquid is drawn off and returned to the head of the aeration basin. When the primary digester is filled with solids, those solids are transferred to the secondary digester. They are aerated with compressed air and excess water is decanted if possible. Solids are retained in the digesters as long as possible to insure that we meet 503 requirements for volatile solids reduction. Digested Sludge/Biosolids are then pumped to our dewatering facility for further dewatering via centrifuge and stored on a covered concrete pad where our contractor (Synagro) will later pick them up for land application on permitted fields in Person County NC. Centrate from the centrifuge operation is returned to head of the existing activated sludge basin. As a back-up to the centrifuge Sludge solids are pumped from the secondary digester to our sludge lagoons. We have (1.5) two acre lagoons of which sludge can be pumped. Sludge is normally pumped in a lagoon from 6 months to 1 year. After filling a lagoon it is valved off, the water in the sludge is filtered into a drain system and returned the head of the activated sludge basin. The drying of the sludge is also aided by sun evaporation. When the sludge is dry enough to be removed from the lagoons, we have a contract with Synagro to remove it. They use front-end loaders and dump trunks to haul and apply it to the City of Roxboro's permitted sites. This is operated under permit WQ0021826.

JAY ZIMMERMAN City of Roxboro Wastewater Treatment Plant Permit No.: NCO021024 Person County Dear Mr. Oakley: Mitch Hayes of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted the subject inspection on November 24, 2015. The assistance of Derek Clayton, Van Rogers and Crystal Shotwell with this inspection was appreciated. Please find attached to this letter the Basin Wide Information Management System (BIMS) check list. Below is a list of findings developed from the inspection: 1. The permit became effective July 1, 2013 and will expire May 31, 2017. 2. BIMS lists Derek Clayton as the Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) and Van Rogers as the back- up ORC. 3. The wastewater treatment facility consists of the following units: septic tank unloading facility, two bar screens, one with % inch opening and one with 1 inch opening; one-half inch auger; 2 — influent flow channels; chain and bucket grit collector; Parshall flume with a transducer flow meter; 2 each 3 MG aeration basins; 3 each — 0.345 MG secondary clarifier; chlorine contact chamber with 2 chambers; calcium thiosulfate dechlorination system; 2 each —0.228 MG aerobic digesters; 2 sludge drying beds; a covered dry sludge storage pad; 600 KW on -site generator. A sludge dewatering building which consists of an in -line sludge grinder, a 700 dry pound/hour centrifuge, a polymer feed system, a dried -sludge screw conveyer system. 4. At the time of inspection, one influent channel was being used due to low inflow. The chain and bucket grit collector was operating normally. One aeration basin was in operation due to low inflow. All aerators were operational. The aerated influent appeared chocolate brown in color with minimum foaming. All three secondary clarifiers were operational. Sludge blankets are kept between 1 and 2 feet. Effluent flowing off the weirs appeared clear with no pin floc. Effluent flowing into Marlowe Creek appeared clear with no foaming. The sludge dewatering facility was not in operation at the time of inspection. There was a small amount of Class B biosolids in the covered dry sludge storage pad. There was no sludge in the drying beds.

The facility is field certified for pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, total residual chlorine, and specific conductance. The Roxboro WWTP Laboratory analyzes BOD, TSS, NH3-N, and fecal coliform. Merritech Labs analyzes oil and grease, all long term monitoring, pretreatment, toxicity and all other parameters. All calibration logbooks are maintained, all pH buffers were within expiration date. Temperatures are checked against an NIST thermometer with any correction factors noted. The BOD incubator temperature was 20.0 degrees C. The fecal incubator temperature was 44.5 degrees C. 6. Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) forthe period October 2014through September 2015 were reviewed for compliance with permit limit and monitoring requirements. BIMS is listing monitoring violations forflow during February through September2015. A review of the database revealed that this coincides with the beginning of electronic DMR reporting. Apparently BIMS is monitoring for effluent flow when influent flow is being reporting. BIMS will be changed to monitor for influent flow. Please continue to report influent flow. There are no violations for the review period. Commercial lab results, chain of custody records, and bench sheets were compared with data submitted on the DMR for September 2015. No discrepancies were noted. I would like to thank Derek Clayton, Van Rogers, and Crystal Shotwell for their time and assistance with this inspection.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact me.

Autumn -----Original Message ----- From: Derek Clayton[mailto:dclayton@cityofroxboro.com] Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2015 10:36 AM To: Romanski, Autumn Subject: Roxboro WWTP Good morning Autumn, I saw your email the other day and thanks for the kind thoughts on my recovery. Yesterday I transferred from my "boot" to an ankle brace and shoe, it was a huge step in the right direction (I hope) but I've still got some improving to do before I can stop using my cane and walk with any speed. I'm thankful for the progress so far and other than that, time will tell how good its going to get. I do have an issue that I need some direction on, our lab is running NH3 today and found out that we had two samples saved and labeled for 1/8/15. The problem is one of the two is for 1/9/15, it was just saved with the incorrect date. There are no compliance issues with either sample so my question for you is, how should I report this? I can average the two samples labeled 1/8/15 and report that number for the 1/8/15 date and be non -compliant for 1/9/15 or do you have an alternative that is acceptable? Also, if I do need to average the results of the samples labeled 1/8/15 and be non -compliant for 1/9/15 (missing data) can you accept this as my notification of violation? Thanks for your help on this and if you have any questions please let me know. Sincerely, Derek Clayton WWTP Supt. City of Roxboro 2 w NCDENR _ v North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Pat McCrory John E. Skvarla, III Governor Secretary December 4, 2014 Mr. Andrew Oakley, Public Service Director City of Roxboro PO Box 128 Roxboro, NC 27573-0128 SUBJECT: Dear Mr. Oakley: Compliance Evaluation Inspection City of Roxboro WWTP Permit No: NCO021024 Person County On December 3, 2014, Mack Wiggins of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the City of Roxboro's Wastewater Treatment Plant. The assistance of Mr. Derek Clayton and Ms. Crystal Shotwell was very helpful and appreciated during the inspection process. 1. The Plant was configured as per the permit and is classified as a Class W W-4 facility. Mr. Derek Clayton is the ORC and has a Grade IV Certification, Mr. Van Rodgers is the backup operator and has a Grade IV Certification and Ms. Crytal Shotwell is the Laboratory Supervisor. 2. A review of the DMRs revealed consistent reporting of results as required by the permit. 3. All logs and documentation were consistent and up to date. 4. Bench data was found to be consistent with DMR data. I. Wastewater Treatment Plant site inspection: 1. Wastewater enters the plant through a mechanical grit & screening removal system before moving forward to dual aeration chambers. The mechanical grit and screening system was clean and free of excessive debris at the time of the inspection. Screenings and grit material are collected in a dumpster and carried to the landfill once per week. 2. After screening and grit removal, wastewater goes forward to two aeration basins in parallel. Each basin is design to hold 3 million gallons. Only one basin was in use at the time of the inspection. Surface aerator was operational and the basin was free of dead spots at the time of the inspection. The dissolved oxygen level in the aeration basin was 1.33 mg/I at the time of the inspection.

After aeration wastewater moves forward to the secondary clarifiers. The facility utilizes three clarifiers. One clarifier was currently being overhauled at the time of the inspection. One of the two in use at the time of the inspection had been overhauled in 2013. The weirs of the clarifiers in use were observed to be free of excessive floating sludge. The sludge blankets of both clarifiers was 2 feet at the time of the inspection. All three clarifiers have a side wall depth of 15 feet. 4. Return activated sludge lines and waste activated sludge lines were open and free of clogging at the time of the inspection. 5. After the secondary clarifier wastewater moves forward to disinfection. The facility utilizes sodium hypochlorite for disinfection and calcium thiosulfate for dechlorination. 6. Analyticals for toxicity and metals are performed by Meritech Inc. The facility analyses for all other parameters including field parameters. The facility is field certified for field parameters pH, Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen and Residual Chlorine. 7. Sludge is wasted to two aerobic digesters. Each digester holds 228 thousand gallons. Both digesters had adequate capacity with available tankage at the time of the inspection. 8. The facility originally had three 2 acre sludge lagoons to hold the Class B sludge. One of the lagoons now houses a new centrifuge for sludge dewatering. A roof has been installed over the remaining half of that lagoon for sludge storage. Only ''/. of the covered area for sludge storage held class B sludge at the time of the site visit. The remaining two lagoons are utilized as back-ups to the centrifuge. The back-up lagoons did not contain any sludge at the time of the site visit. All decant from the back-up lagoons and the centrifuge when in use is piped back to the influent to the aeration basins. 9. Sludge is collected and land applied once per year by Synagro. 10. Effluent was clear with very little foam at the time of the inspection. Thank you all for your assistance during this inspection. Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations, comments and recommendations. If you or your staff have any questions, please call Mack Wiggins at (919)7914200.

This inspection was conducted to verify that the facility is operating in compliance with the conditions and limitations specified in NPDES Permit No. NC0002861.The assistance of Arnold Oakley to complete the inspection was greatly appreciated. A summary of the findings and comments noted during this inspection is provided in the attached inspection report entitled "Compliance Inspection Report". During the inspection, a new Ion Exchange Water Treatment Unit was observed to be operational and discharging backwash wastewater to the wastewater settling basin (wastewater treatment system). Wastewater from Ion Exchange Water Treatment is not currently covered by your NPDES discharge permit. The current NPDES discharge permit authorizes the discharge from Conventional Water Treatment plant filter backwash water and filter wastewater from the plant decanting lagoon system. The wastewater characteristics for Ion Exchange Treatment discharge are different from conventional backwash and lagoon decanting wastewater. Please review Section E (I. Change in Discharge and 2. Planned Changes) on the 11/09/2011 Standard Conditions pages of the permit. Accordingly, please respond in writing to this letter within 30 des of receipt Your response should address the items listed below: 1) It is the understanding of the Raleigh Region that the Town of Roxboro intends to send this wastewater to the Town's W WTP by conecting to a sewer line. Please explain how this will occur and when you anticipate this will be accomplished. 2) If this is not the case, please explain how you propose to eliminate the Ion Exchange Treatment discharge wastewater (e.g. pump and haul). [Note: If this option is chosen a pump an haul waste approval will be required. Please contact the Raleigh Regional Office for the appropriate application if you are planning to pursue this option.] North Carolina Division of Water Resources 1628 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699.1628 Phone (919) 791-4200 Customer Service Internet: w .ncwatercualitv.oro Location: 3800 Barrett Drive, Raleigh, NC 27609 Fax (919) 788-7159 1.877-623-6748 N�Oa�`nCarolina ✓ VA07!!y 3) If the Town does not plan to eliminate the Ion Exchange Treatment discharge wastewater then you will need to modify your NPDES permit. This modification is to accomodate and reflect, as appropriate, the addition of this new wasteslream. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Charles Underwood Inc. will be making the repairs and we are in the process of scheduling the work. If you need additional information please let me know. Sincerely, Derek Clayton WWTP Supt. City of Roxboro Romanski, Autumn From: Derek Clayton [dclayton@cityofroxboro.com] Sent: Wednesday, August 27, 2014 11:07 AM To: Romanski, Autumn Subject: Roxboro WWTP Good morning Autumn, I'm sending you this message to inform you that our west final clarifier is down and will be down for repair for some time. We are working with Russell Underwood again, his company CRUCO made the repairs to our middle final clarifier in 2012/2013. Currently were still in the inspection/recommendation phase of the repair however I don't anticipate any problems with effluent quality while this unit is down as we still have two final clarifiers still in service. Let me know if you have questions, Derek Clayton WWTP Supt. City of Roxboro 1 Romanski, Autumn From: Smith, Danny Sent: Thursday, January 09, 2014 4:54 PM To: Derek Clayton Cc: Romanski, Autumn; Zimmerman, Jay Subject: Roxboro WWTP Derek, The City of Roxboro's wastewater treatment plant has the design capacity that is equal to 5.0 MGD and as such is required to have continues operation, 24 hours, seven days per week, with each shift staffed by at least one certified wastewater operator. However, you explained due to severe conditions (an injury, a retirement, an employee death and vacancies) that the Town is unable to currently staff each shift with one certified wastewater operator. You have also explained that the Chief Operator (both he and yourself) are on call 24hrs/day to respond to any problems that may arise at the plant. This office agrees with your concern that 7 day 12hr/day every week (being at the plant with the trainees) it is a lot to ask of existing certified operators. Therefore, due to the staffing issues and safety concerns that are coincident to the daily shift work you described, this office agrees to temporarily relax the requirement for 24 hours, seven days per week, with each shift staffed by at least one certified wastewater operator. It is my understanding that Rural Water is planning to provide training and you hope to have current employees take their Grade I Operator course in March. Accordingly, please provide this office monthly updates that indicates the progress the City of Roxboro is making with respect to hiring certified operator(s). Also, please clearly communicate (e.g. May or June 2014) when you anticipate being able to return to conditions that allows you maintain at least one certified wastewater operation with each shift, as required. If you have any questions please call me at (919) 791-4252.

They took the Grade I Wastewater Certification exam in December and unfortunately they both failed. In the last two weeks we found out that one of our certified operators was leaving to work at the new plant opening soon near Cary NC. On top of that we had another certified operator find out he has cancer and is currently in Duke hospital. This operator is at retirement age and I don't expect he will be back based on what were hearing from family. I myself am still recovering from a broken ankle and even though I'm available for paperwork I'm not much help out in the plant. This has left us with only two full time certified operators and two uncertified trainees. The city has contacted the rural water association about holding an exam eligible school in January or early Feb. 2014 that we would send not only our two current uncertified trainees for additional training prior to the March exam but we plan on hiring two additonal operators that will most likely be uncertified to attend this school and take the March exam as well. We realize that we are required to have a certified operator on shift at all times, but we would like to request from you or someone that you feel could grant it, a waiver of this rule through March 2014. At your earliest convenience please let me know if this is waiver is possible. We (the city) feel we have been proactive in our efforts to maintain adequate staffing of certified operators however we are currently experiencing an unprecedented turn of events at our plant. In any event we will continue to do our very best to meet all the requirements of our permits and state law that applies to our WWTP operation. If you have questions or need any additional information concerning this matter please call. w Sincerely, Derek Clayton WWTP Supt.

Reeder John E. Skvarla, III Governor Director Secretary November 19, 2013 Andrew Oakley, Public Service Director City of Roxboro P.O. Box 128 Roxboro, NC 27573-0128 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Roxboro WWTP NPDES Permit No. NCO021024 Person County Dear Mr. Oakley: Mitch Hayes of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted the subjected inspection on October 30, 2013. The assistance of Derek Clayton and the staff of the WWTP with the inspection were appreciated. Below is a list of findings and recommendations developed from the inspection: Basinwide Information Management Systems (BIMS) list Derek Clayton as the grade 4 wastewater (WW4) Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) and Tommy Satterfield as the back-up ORC (bORC), WW-4. Currently Van Rogers, WW-4, is serving as the bORC and Tommy Satterfield, WW-4, is on stand-by. Other bORC's listed for the WWTP are Richard Strand, WW4, and Willie Lee Wrenn, WW-4. 2. The subject permit was reissued May 22, 2013 and became effective July 01, 2013. The following changes were made to the permit: the priority pollutant scan requirement was changed from annual to three times during the current permit term; monitoring requirements for total cyanide and total nickel were eliminated; monitoring requirements for total mercury were eliminated however, a mercury minimization plan (MMP) must be developed within 180 days of permit effective date. 3. The Division of Water Resources will implement an electronic discharge monitoring report program. This program requires all NPDES-permitted facilities report monthly monitoring report data electronically through the Division's eDMR (Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report) program. All existing permitted facilities and any new permitted facilities/dischargers will be required to comply with the permit requirement no later than 90 days after the permit becomes effective. For more information on eDMRs, registering for eDMR submittal, and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit DWR's webpage: hftp://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/bog/ipu/edmr. 4. The wastewater treatment facility consists of the following units: septic tank unloading facility; two bar screen; one-half inch auger; 2 — influent flow channels; chain and bucket grit collector; Parshall flume with a transducer flow meter; 2 each 3 MG aeration basins; 3 — 0.345 MG each secondary clarifier; chlorine contact chamber with 2 chambers, calcium thiosulfate dechlorination system; 2 — 0.228 MG each aerobic digesters; 2 sludge drying beds, 600 KW on -site generator. A sludge dewatering building which will consist of an in -line sludge grinder, a 700 dry pound/hour centrifuge, a polymer feed system, a dried -sludge screw conveyer system, and a covered dry sludge storage pad was being constructed. The construction was approximately 70% complete.

At the time of inspection one influent channel was being used due to low inflow. The chain and bucket grit collector was operating normally. One aeration basin was in use, the other basin is used as an equalization basin when needed. The aerated influent appeared chocolate brown with minimum foam. Aerators are operated by a timer switch. Mr. Clayton stated that the aerators will be turned off during the installation of a centrifuge pump. All three secondary clarifiers were in use. Sludge judge readings were two feet in the west and the middle clarifiers and one foot in the east clarifier. Effluent flowing off the weirs appeared clear with no pin flock. Effluent flowing into Marlowe Creek appeared clear with no foam or solids. The aerated primary digester was three-quarters full and the secondary aerated digester was one -quarter full. When the primary digester is full, solids are transferred to the secondary digester and aerated with compressed air until most of the water can be drawn off. The solids are then pumped to the sludge drying beds. Synagro is contracted to haul the dried sludge and land apply to the City of Roxboro permitted sites. This operation is covered under permit WO0021826. There was no sludge in the drying beds. As of the date of this inspection, no sludge has been land applied from this facility. 6. The facility is field certified for pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen total residual chlorine and specific conductance. Pace Laboratories is used for metal analyzes. Merritech labs is used for toxicity. The Roxboro WWTP Laboratory analyses all other parameters. All buffers are within expiration date. Temperatures on all equipment were checked against an NIST thermometer on April 2013. The effluent flow meter was last calibrated December 11, 2012. All calibration logs are maintained. The well organized records and the assistance of Ms Crystal Shotwell and Jason Wilson hastened the laboratory inspection. Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's) for the period October 2012 through September 2013 were reviewed for compliance with permit limit and monitoring requirements. No discrepancies or violations were noted. 8. Commercial lab results, chain of custody records, and bench sheets were compared with data submitted on the DMR for August 2013. No discrepancies were noted. I would like to thank Derek Clayton and the staff of the Roxboro WWTP for their time and assistance with this inspection.
