Total Manganese monitoring is required for greensand technology, but it remains as "monitoring only, no limit." Although Total Manganese past data do show RP to exceed the Human Health standard of 200µg/L (MAX predicted = 4,032µg/L), this standard applies to Class WS waters only. There are no other parameters of concern. Toxici - Green sand filter systems do not require Whole Effluent Toxicity (WET) testing.

Box 160 Yanceyville, NC 27378 Natural Resources Dee Freeman Secretary SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection — NPDES Permit No. NCO086983 South Elementary School WTP — Caswell County Dear Dr. Barker: Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at the South Elementary School water treatment filter backwash discharge in Caswell County on February 3, 2011. Steven Yarbrough, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), was present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: an in -office review of facility files and self -monitoring data and an on -site inspection of the facility. This particular inspection evaluated eight (8) areas, and observations from each area are addressed below: 1. Permit The permit became effective October 1, 2007 and expires March 31, 2012. 2. Self -Monitoring Program A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from January 2010 through December 2010 showed one violation of the permit limit for Total Residual Chlorine that occurred in February 2010. This violation was already addressed by a previous correspondence from our office. 3. Flow Measurement The flow from the filter backwash system is measured by a Hershey flow meter. The operators calibrate the meter on an annual basis. Verification (date, name, etc.) of the calibration and the method used is maintained with plant records. The flow meter was calibrated in August 2009 before the students returned to school from the summer break. 4. Facility Site Review All system components appeared to be operating properly. The system is designed to backwash every 150,000 gallons of water filtered, and occurs typically two to three times per week. Approximately 300-500 gallons are released during each backwash event. A Backwash Dechlorinator Norweco Bio-Dynamic Tablet Feeder Model LF 1000 was installed in May 2009 to comply with the new Total Residual Chlorine limit that took effect April 1, 2009. Upon installation, the unit had some issues with leakage and improper flow design for the system. Therefore, the operators enclosed the unit inside a casing to prevent these problems from occurring. Since then, the unit has been working with no issues. Mr. Randall Thompson from Simmons Engineering signed the Engineer's Certification for the unit.

Operations & Maintenance The facility appeared to be functioning properly during the inspection. Daily Backwash Logs, ORC Visitation Logs, and Monthly Preventive Maintenance Logs are kept in the operations building. Mr. Steven Yarbrough is the ORC. Mr. Jerry Hatchett is Back -Up ORC. 6. Records/Reports The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), files, and lab data are very well organized in one binder and are maintained at the Caswell County Schools Maintenance Shop. All records were available for review during the inspection. 7. Laboratory Pace Analytical performs all sample analysis on a bi-monthly basis. The lab technician from Pace performs Total Residual Chlorine and pH tests at the facility. All other samples are collected as grab samples and transported to Pace Analytical's laboratory for analysis. 8. Effluent/Receiving Waters The effluent pipe is located at the bottom of the hill below the well house. The effluent is discharged into a dry drainage ditch that ultimately drains to Hyco Creek in the Roanoke River Basin. Please refer to the attached report for specific details from the inspection.

Sullins Dee Freeman Governor Director Secretary September 30, 2010 Dr. Douglas N. Barker, Superintendent Caswell County School System P.O. Box 160 Yanceyville, NC 27378 SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection — NPDES Permit No. NCO086983 South Elementary School WTP — Caswell County Dear Dr. Barker: Jenny Graznak and Mike Thomas of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at the South Elementary School water treatment filter backwash discharge in Caswell County on September 23, 2010. Steven Yarbrough, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), was present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: an in -office review of facility files and self -monitoring data and an on -site inspection of the facility. This particular inspection evaluated eight (8) areas, and observations from each area are addressed below: 1. Permit The permit became effective October 1, 2007 and expires March 31, 2012. 2. Self -Monitoring Program A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from June 2009 through June 2010 showed one violation of the permit limit for Total Residual Chlorine that occurred in February 2010. 3. Flow Measurement The flow from the filter backwash system is measured by a Hershey flow meter. The operators calibrate the meter on an annual basis. Verification (date, name, etc.) of the calibration and the method used is maintained with plant records. The flow meter was calibrated in August 2009 before the students returned to school from the summer break. 4. Facility Site Review All system components appeared to be operating properly. The system is designed to backwash every 150,000 gallons of water filtered. Backwashing typically occurs two times per week. Approximately 300-500 gallons are released during each backwash event. A dechlorination system was installed in May 2009 to comply with the new Total Residual Chlorine limit that took effect April 1, 2009. According to Mr. Yarbrough, the dechlorination system did not operate properly once installed, and operators were forced to remove it. With the help of an engineer, operators designed a workable dechlorination system that is currently in place. Please note that you will need to secure the engineer's certification for the modified dechlorination system and maintain this with the facility files.

Operations & Maintenance The facility appeared to be functioning properly during the inspection. Daily Backwash Logs, ORC Visitation Logs, and Monthly Preventive Maintenance Logs are kept in the operations building. Mr. Steven Yarbrough is the ORC. Mr. Jerry Hatchett is Back -Up ORC. 6. Records/Reports The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), files, and lab data are very well organized in one binder and are maintained at the Caswell County Schools Maintenance Shop. All records were available for review during the inspection. 7. Laboratory Pace Analytical performs all sample analysis on a bi-monthly basis. The lab technician from Pace performs Total Residual Chlorine and pH tests at the facility. All other samples are collected as grab samples and transported to Pace Analytical's laboratory for analysis. 8. Effluent/Receiving Waters The effluent pipe is located at the bottom of the hill below the well house. The effluent is discharged into a dry drainage ditch that ultimately drains to Hyco Creek in the Roanoke River Basin. There was not effluent on the day of the inspection. Please refer to the attached report for specific details from the inspection. If you have any questions concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 771-5000. Sincerely, Steve W.

Steve, "If" the filter is part of a Discharging system, such as a "Well" system that treats for Iron and Manganese and has a back- wash, they would be required by regulation to have an NPDES permit and need to be classified to have an ORC and Back-up ORC. There was some discussion at prior Consultants meetings that these "small" water systems needed to be permitted and have operators. I disagreed, with the stance that they should be dealt with on a case -by -case basis depending on the environmental impact. The new "Ground Water Rule" being enforced by PWSS requires that a lot of the small water systems meet a "CT" time regarding their disinfection methods. To do this, some of these small systems will have to use "everything" capable to meet the "CT" requirement. This may include "back washing" hydropunematic pressure tanks to back -washing 1st customer distribution lines. I hope this helps, let me know if you have additional questions. Thanks, Don Price.
