A Compliance Evaluation Inspection was performed at Lexington Regional WWTP on August 23, 2012 by Jenifer
Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office. Mr. Joseph Shaffer was present for the inspection. The inspection
consisted of two parts: an on -site inspection of the facility and a file review.
Accordingly, the following violations were noted during the Division of Water Quality inspection (inspection report
attached) :
❖ Permit and Outfalls
The most recent version of the permit, issued to you in May 2008, was not able to be located prior to or
during the inspection. Division records indicate that updated WWTP contact information was received
from you in our central office on May 11, 2008. The permit was automatically renewed and sent on June
1, 2008:
❖ Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP)
Only one portion of the previously reviewed Stormwater Prevention Plan (SPPP) could be located, the
Narrative Description of Practices. There was no detailed site map, feasible alternatives analysis, BMP
summary, Spill Prevention and Response Plan (SPRP), Preventative Maintenance and Good
Housekeeping Plan, Employee Training documentation, Responsible Party information or SPPP annual

Comment: The newest version of the permit issued in May-2008 was not found. One
outfall is being monitored, though this outfall does not capture much of the drainage
area for the plant. Much of this additional area is drained by sheetflow off of the
property at the property lines, which is not required to be monitored. The entire site
should be re-evaluated for other potential outfalls.
There was no documentation of evaluation for non_ stormwater discharges. This should
be part of the annual review of the SPPP.

1.0 INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
In 1972, Congress passed the Federal Water Pollution Control Act (FWPCA), also known as the
Clean Water Act (CWA), to restore and maintain the quality of the nation's waterways. The
ultimate goal was to make sure rivers and streams were fishable, swimmable, and drinkable. In
1987, the Water Quality Act (WQA) added provisions to the CWA that allowed the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to govern storm water discharges from industrial
activities. EPA published the final notice for Phase I of the Multi -Sector General Storm Water
Permit program (Federal Register Volume 60 No. 189, September 20, 1995, page 50804) in 1995
which included provisions for the development of a Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan
(SWPPP) by each industrial facility discharging storm water.
Development, implementation, and maintenance of the SWPPP will provide The Regional
Wastewater Treatment Plant's Staff with the tools to reduce pollutants contained in storm water
discharges and comply with the requirements of the General Storm Water Permit issued by the
State of North Carolina— NCG 110000
The primary goals of the SWPPP will be to:
• Identify potential sources of pollutants that affect storm water discharges from the site;
• Describe the practices that will be implemented to prevent or control the release of
pollutants in storm water discharges; and
• Create an implementation schedule to ensure that the practices described. in this SWPPP
are in fact implemented and to evaluate the plan's effectiveness in reducing the pollutant
levels in storm water discharges.

1.2 SWPPP Content
This SWPPP includes all of the following:
• Identification of the SWPPP coordinator with a description of this person's
duties;
• Identification of the SWPPP implementation team members;
• Description of the facility including information regarding the facility's location
and activities as well as a site description, three maps, and a summary of the
storm water drainage system;
• Identification of potential storm water contaminants;
O Description of storm water management controls and various Best Management
Practices (BMPs) necessary to reduce pollutants in storm water discharge;
• Description of the facility monitoring plan; and a
• Description of the implementation schedule and provisions for amendment of
the plan.

2.0 SWPPP COORDINATOR AND DUTIES
The SWPPP coordinator for the facility is the Plant Supervisor (phone number: [phone].
His duties include the following:
• Create a SWPPP team to aid in the implementation of the SWPPP plan;
Implement the SWPPP plan;
0 Oversee maintenance practices identified as BMPs in the SWPPP;
• Implement and oversee employee training;
C Conduct or provide for inspection or monitoring activities;
Identify other potential pollutant sources and make sure they are added to the
plan;
• Identify any deficiencies in the SWPPP and make sure they are corrected;
• Prepare and submit reports; and
• Ensure that any changes in facility operation are addressed in the SWPPP.
To aid in the implementation of the SWPPP plan, the members of the SWPPP team are the staff
of the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant

3.0 FACILITY DESCRIPTION
3.1 Facility Location:
The Lexington Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant is located at the address of 500 Glendale
Road, Lexington, N.C. 27292. The site covers approximately 265 acres and is heavily wooded
except for the areas occupied by the Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant and its Compost
Facility. This plan addresses only the areas of storm water runoff from the main treatment area
and the Compost Facility. Two storm drain systems identified on figure 1 of the site plan handle
all the runoff from these areas including the impervious surface of a parking lot and a paved
road.
3.2 Site Activities:
The Lexington Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant is a municipal wastewater treatment plant
with a composting facility, a maintenance facility, and a laboratory. All storm water from the
plant and compost facility with the exception of two storm water drains for the central part of the
treatment facility is returned to the head of the treatment plant and is processed as municipal
wastewater. The facility operates 24 hours a.day and 365 days a year. Spent oils from the
maintenance operation are drummed up and hauled off by a certified hauler.
3.3 Storm Water Drainage System:
The storm water from this facility drains into the Abbott's Creek Arm of High Rock Lake. This
body of water is listed on the 303(d) list as being impaired for aquatic life and turbidity. At this
time, there is a statewide TMDL for mercury on all waters. A TMDL for other parameters is
being developed for this area, but this is not complete.
Potential pollutants from this site include spills from chemicals used in the wastewater treatment
process, overflows from this process, spills of oils and greases, compost and sludge. Under
normal conditions adequate containment and good housekeeping practices are in place to prevent
these pollutants from entering the storm water discharges
The site can be divided into two major storm water drainage systems. Samples are to be
collected at the sites labeled as "sample points" on outfall # 1 and outfall 92. These points shown
on figure 1 were selected because they are after all areas draining from activities on the site. The
location of the discharges from the two storm water outfalls on the site are shown on figure 2.

Each of these drainage systems eventually drains into the Abbotts Creek arm of High Rock Lake
and the Yadkin River. Outfall #1 enters a wetlands area which eventually drains into the lake
and outfall ##2 enters Abbotts Creek directly.
Combined, the two drainage areas accept runoff from approximately 40 acres which includes
areas impacted by plant activities and heavily wooded or grassed areas. A road and two small
parking lots are included.

4.0 IDENTIFICATION OF POTENTIAL STORM WATER
CONTAMINANTS
This section identifies significant materials located at the facility that may potentially
contaminate storm water. Additionally, the section presents a record of past spills and leaks,
identifies potential areas for storm water contamination, and summarizes available storm water
sampling data.
4.1 Significant Material Inventory
Materials used by the facility that have the potential to be present in storm water runoff are listed
below.
4.2 Historic Spill and Leak Record
According to the facility records, there have not been any chemical, oil or fuel spills in
uncovered areas of the facility in the past three years.
There was one sludge spill of less than 500 gallons which was contained with bales of straw.
One of the local septic haulers pumped this into his truck and hauled it to be pumped back into
the head works of the treatment plant.
4.3 Potential Areas for Storm Water Contamination
The following potential source areas of storm water contamination were identified and evaluated:
Parking area: Employees park their vehicles in two parking lot areas. Storm water from this
area can be potentially contaminated by leaking fluids from the parked vehicles. These
contaminants may contain mineral oil, petroleum distillates, benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene,
xylene, and MTBE.
Maintenance area: Maintenance activities are performed on wastewater equipment in the
maintenance area as well as almost all areas where operation and maintenance activities are
performed. Storm water from these areas can be potentially contaminated by fluids leaking from
equipment during the maintenance activities. These contaminants may contain mineral oil,
petroleum distillates, benzene, ethyl benzene, toluene, xylene, and MTBE.
Areas where operation of the facility is ongoing: There is the potential for pipes to burst or
storm drains to back up and treatment facilities to overflow. These contaminants include
wastewater, sludge and compost.
Compost facility: The runoff from all areas of this part of the overall facility are contained and
the all runoff is drained into the head of the treatment facility's second stage lift station

Diesel fuel storage facilities: Diesel fuel is stored at all generators and at a fueling station at the
compost facility. All of this storage has proper containment.
4.4 Summary of available storm water sampling data:
Outfall l : color — clear; odor — none; clarity — 2; floating solids — 2;suspended solids -- 2;
foam — no; oil sheen — none; deposition at outfall — none; erosion at outfall - none
Outfall 2.-
No available data. Sampling will begin December 2012

5.0 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT PLAN
This section discusses the storm water management controls and management practices selected
to address the areas of concern identified in Section 4 of this SWPPP. It includes a feasibility
study which reviews the technical methods of operations and storage areas
5.1 Compliance with Other Programs
Storage of waste petroleum products and other chemicals complies with the requirements of the
Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA). Under RCRA, the plant supervisor or his
designee conducts monthly inspections of the areas storing the fluids to verify placarding,
storage times, and the integrity of storage containers. During the RCRA inspection, leaks or
spills which may impact storm water are noted and cleaned immediately.
The BMPs included in this SWPPP are also intended to prevent soil and ground water
contamination which could lead to a CERCLA enforcement action. The staff of the Regional
Wastewater Treatment Plant have also developed a Spill Prevention Control and Mitigation
(SPCC) Plan which includes BMPs for oil storage. The BMPs in the SPCC Plan prevent storm
water contamination. Since these BMPs are included in the SPCC Plan, they are not included in
this SWPPP.
5.2 Storm Water Management Practices
Upon reviewing the potential pollutants at the facility and the facility operations, Regional
Wastewater Treatment Plant staff prepared a -list of planned Best Management Practices (BMPs).
When implemented, these BMPs will control the discharge of potential pollutants in storm water
runoff for each area of concern. Passive treatment BMPs where developed with a goal to remove
a significant proportion of all storm water pollutants. The list of BMPs was reviewed by the plant
supervisor for applicability and feasibility. Figure 3 shows the structural BMPs that will be
implemented to prevent storm water contamination.
To prevent storm water impacts the following BMPs will be implemented:
• As of the last update of this plan, all maintenance activities will take place inside the
maintenance garage and drip pans will be used at all times to collect leaking fluids.
• As of the date of this plan, all fluid containers stored in the maintenance will be placed
on pallets with secondary containment (a plastic grate on top of a tub approximately nine
inches deep to contain any spills or leaks).
• The fluid containers will be inspected weekly for leaks and deterioration. Any leaks
identified during the inspection will be immediately cleaned using a dry absorbent.

• An emergency spill kit will be placed inside the maintenance garage.
• A spill prevention plan will be prepared as a resource to prevent spills, or in the event of
a spill, to aid in the clean-up process. The plan will address proper procedures and
identify supplies and equipment for quick spill response.
• All spills which reach the storm system will be reported to the Winston-Salem Regional
Office of the NCDENR/DWQ

6.0 FACILITY MONITORING PLAN
Visual inspections of all storm system inlets will be made quarterly during dry weather
conditions for evidence of non -storm water discharges. The visual inspection will be completed
by an employee under the Utility Plant Supervisors direction. The dry weather inspections will
verify the site is not discharging sanitary or process water to storm systems. Information
recorded on the annual inspection log shall include: date of inspection, storm system location,
inspection results, and potential significant sources of non -storm water discovered through
testing. A blank dry -weather inspections forms can be found in Appendix A of this SWPPP.
Personnel of the Regional WWTP will perform semi-annual visual inspections of all storm
system inlets during rain events to look for evidence of storm water contamination. Inspections
will be conducted within the first thirty minutes of discharge or soon thereafter, but not
exceeding 60 minutes. The visual inspection shall include any observations of color, odor,
turbidity, floating solids, foam, oil sheen, or other obvious indicators of storm water pollution.
Information recorded during the Semi -Annual inspection shall include:
o date of inspection,
• storm system location,
• . inspection results,
• and potential significant sources of storm water contaminants if discovered.
Blank semi-annual inspections forms can be found in Appendix A of this SWPPP.
An annual storm water compliance inspection will be conducted approximately one year
following implementation of this SWPPP and annually thereafter. The inspection will determine
if the BMPs have been implemented and will assess their effectiveness. The inspection will also
determine if site operations have changed since development of this SWPPP. If operational
changes have been made, the Utility Plant Supervisor will determine if those changes will impact
storm water quality and develop new BMPs to address the change. All operational changes and
new BMPs will be recorded in this SWPPP. Additionally, the inspection date, the inspection
personnel, the scope of the inspection, major observations, and any needed revisions will be
recorded. Revisions to the plan will occur within fourteen days after the annual inspection. Blank
annual compliance inspections forms can be found in Appendix A of this SWPPP.

7.0 EMPLOYEE TRAINING
An employee training program will be developed and implemented to educate employees about
the requirements of the SWPPP. This education program will include background on the
components and goals of the SWPPP and hands-on training in spill prevention and response,
good housekeeping, proper material handling, disposal and control of waste, container filling and
transfer, and proper storage, washing, and inspection procedures. All new employees will be
trained within one week of their start date. Additionally, all employees will be required to
participate in an annual refresher training course. An employee sign -in sheet for the refresher
course can be found in Appendix A of this document. The training program will be reviewed
annually by the Plant Supervisor to determine its effectiveness and to make any necessary
changes to the program.

8.0 BEST MANAGEMENT PRACTICES
The City will maintain an inventory of materials to intercept and contain spills including:
• 6 bales of straw
• 100 pounds of Kitty Litter
4 oil absorbant socks
• 6 traffic cones
Drip pans will -be used during all maintenance activities. All fluid containers in the maintenance
garage will be stored on pallets with secondary containment. Containers will be inspected
monthly.
A spill prevention and mitigation plan will be prepared. .
9.0 RECORD RETENTION REQUIREMENTS
Records described in the SWPPP must be retained on site for 5 years shall be
made available to the state or federal compliance inspection officer upon request. Additionally,
employee training records and waste and recycling receipts or vouchers shall also be maintained.
10.0 PRINCIPLE EXECUTIVE OFFICER SIGNATURE
Mr. Roger Spach, Water Resources Superintendent is the designated executive officer to sign foi
matters involving this permit
Mr. Joseph Shaffer is designated as the signing official for matters on site
11.0 PROVISIONS FOR CHANGING THIS PLAN
If the facility expands, experiences any significant production increases or process modifications,
or changes any significant material handling or storage practices which could -impact storm
water, the SWPPP will be amended appropriately. The amended SWPPP will have a description
of the new activities that contribute to the increased pollutant loading and planned source control
activities. The SWPPP will also be amended if the state or federal compliance inspection officer
determines that it is ineffective in controlling storm water pollutants discharged to waters.

APPENDIX B — SPILL PREVENTION PLAN
City of Lexington, NC
Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant
SPILL PREVENTION AND MITIGATION PLAN
Spills will happen. Remember that unless there is a lot of rain coming down, any
spill will take a lot of time to reach running water. There are two storm drain
systems serving the main part of the plant. Each of these discharges on the ground
well'before it enters running water. Concentrate on keeping the spill out of the
storm drain and second, concentrate on containing it before it reaches running
water. In the case of the spill of a significant amount of highly flammable material
(gasoline) don't take chances, call the fire department.
In the case of spills of chemicals, particularly, the alum, caustic, bleach, or
bisulfate into the plant, contact one or more of the three individuals below. If they
reach the creek, if you cannot contact these individuals, contact the fire
department.
I. Notify responsible individuals to implement and organize a response to spills
a. Joseph Shaffer - Plant Supervisor
b. Gisele Comer — Lab Supervisor/Pretreatment Coordinator
c. Roger Spach — Superintendent
d. Fire Department
i. if it is a chemical or petroleum products spill, and
ii. you can't reach any of the above
iii. to keep it simple, dial 911
e. Public Services — trouble crew (after hours)
i. If it is. a sludge or wastewater spill, and
ii. You can't reach any of the first three individuals
iii. To keep it simple, call the dispatcher — 248-2337

f. Let one of the individuals listed above or the fire department notify the State or
EPA if they determine that it is necessary
IL Inventory of materials located in the blower room to mitigate and contain spills .
The City will maintain an inventory of materials to intercept and contain spills
including:
0 6 bales of straw
• 100 pounds of kitty litter
• 4 oil absorbent socks
• 6 traffic cones
III. Training
Annual training will be made as part of the Storm Water Polution Prevention Plan
