Click on Wastewater Collection System Application - New or Renewal (FORM CSA 10105) As an informational item, this permit does not replace the sewer extension permits issued for construction of sewers. These permits begin with WQ while operation and maintenance based permits begin with WQCS. Where permit applications such as FTA 12/07_ver4, PSSA 03/08 or PSFMGSA 03/08 or any current sewer extension permit application requests a downstream permit number, do NOT use your system -wide permit number. It is recommended that your record drawings show the issued permit number so the correct number can easily be identified for future extensions. This will be the only reminder provided as it is ultimately the Permittee's responsibility to track permits.

VAN DER VAART Secre(ary S. JAY ZIMMERMAN Divisicn of APR 1 8 2016 Direclor In accordance with your application received April 4, 2016, we. are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQCS00103, dated April 12, 2016, to the Town of Andrews for the operation and maintenance of the subject wastewater collection system. . This permit shall be effective from April 1, 2016 until March 31, 2024 and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this permit. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit and any special conditions. Changes have been made to the boiler plate language of the permit. Most of the.changes are for clarification purposes, however Condition 1(3) has been removed. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) believes that condition was included erroneously in previous permits. It was included based on proposed rulemaking by EPA which was never promulgated and, in the continued absence of Federal regulations, DEQ lacks authority to include such language in a permit. DEQ will continue to exercise enforcement discretion when evaluating sanitary sewer overflows that may be considered to be beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee. A highlighted copy of the permit identifying the changes. made is available at: http://ncdenr.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs- public/Water%20Quality/Surface%2OWater%2OProtection/PERCS/WCS%20(Collection%2OSVstem)/Updated 20WQCS%20Template%2015.05.18%20(highlighted).pdf For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly installed system extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a separately owned sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations, force mains, low pressure sewer systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping, valves and appurtenances that help to collect, manage and transport wastewater to a wastewater treatment plant under the Permittee's ownership or maintained and, operated by the Permittee through a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite systems are systems tributaryto the Permittee's collection system but those collection systems are not owned or maintained by the Permittee. The system description provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant to provide a general idea about the size of the system and may not be all inclusive .of the collection system at the time of permit issuance or afterward. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Phone: 919-807-63001 Internet: www.ncwaterquality.org An Equal Opportunity t Affirmative Action Employer— Made in part by recycled paper Andrews Collection System April 12, 2016 A discharge of wastewater to the environment from the Permittee's wastewater collection system prio reaching the wastewater treatment facilities is it: to herein as a Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO). i ne evaluation of enforcement options after an SSO will be determined considering all relevant information available or requested of the Permittee.

The Operator in Responsible Charge, or the designee, will notify a person at the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (telephone 828-296-4500) as soon as possible, but no later than 24-hours after detecting the spill or receiving the initial report of a spill, IF: • The spill reached surface waters or other "waters of the state", or • The spill exceeded one -thousand (1,000) gallons 3. Within 48 hours after a wastewater spill of 1,000 gallons or more to surface waters: Issue a press release, specifying the details of the spill, to all print and electronic news media that provide general coverage in the county where the spill occurred. 0 Use the following required language: NOTICE OF DISCHARGE OF UNTREATED SEWAGE The City/Town had a discharge of untreated wastewater from our collection or treatment system component ( e.g. pump station, treatment unit, sewer main). located at street/hiQhway_of approximately gallons. The discharge occurred on month, day, time Wastewater Collection System 3 October 2008 Spill Response Plan Town of Andrews, North Carolina PF for approximately _ hours. The untreated wastewater entered ( creek of the) river (basin). The (list action taken) e.g.: pump was replaced, blockage removed and pipe routed to prevent further discharge. This notice was required by North Carolina General Statutes Article 21 Chapter 143.215.0 Example: NOTICE OF DISCHARGE OF UNTREATED SEWAGE The Town of Greenwood Valley had a discharge of untreated sewage from our pump station located at 1450 Main Street of approximately 30,000 gallons. The discharge was first discovered on December 7, 1999 at 2:00 p.m. and lasted for approximately 5 hours. The untreated wastewater entered Bear creek of the Neuse River basin. The pump motor was replaced to prevent further discharge. This notice was required by North Carolina General Statutes Article 21 Chapter 143.215.0 • Retain a copy of the press release and a list of the media to which it was distributed for at least one (1) year after the discharge. • Provide a copy of the press release and the list of media to which it was distributed to any person upon request. • Note that a copy of the North Carolina General Statutes 143-215.1C is presented in the Appendix. 4.

Take action to eliminate the cause(s) of the spill and prevent future spills. SOURCE CONTROL AND CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES Depending on the nature of the spill or overflow, the initial assessment should indicate the priority of source control and/or containment. 1. When the spill source can be isolated through valves, plugs or other methods, the flow should be discontinued immediately or reduced to the least possible volume. 2. If the pumps at a wastewater pump station are not operating, check the control panel for the following; • Verify the power supply is on. • Verify if the circuit breaker tripped. • If the circuit breaker is closed, check the thermal overload. • If the thermal overload is OK, check the fuses (if you are trained to do so). • Determine if the pump straining. • Detennine if the pump is clogged with debris. • Determine if the pump motor smells like it is burning. • Call an electrician for emergency service as required. 3. Containment methods will typically include: • Sand or dirt dikes and dams. (Small streams, creeks) • Holes or pits. (To prevent run off to surface waters) 4. If the spill event resulted from an area wide power outage you should contact the power company and identify your site as critical. You must have account number for the pump, station location. 5. If the problem is mechanical in nature, retrieve parts from inventory and make repairs. Re -order parts as they are used. Wastewater Collection System 5 October 2008 Spill Response Plan Town of Andrews, North Carolina FIF RESPONSE FOR SPILLS ON MAJOR INTERCEPTOR RIGHT OF WAY 1.

The existing system consists of gravity lines, manholes, four duplex pumping stations and the associated force mains. Two of the pump stations are equipped with telemetry and three of the pump stations are equipped with permanently installed emergency power generators. During the inspection and follow-up at the town's wastewater treatment plant it became evident that the system experiences considerable inflow and infiltration. This was observed by the inspectors at multiple points in the collection system and confirmed during interviews with collections system maintenance staff. Inflow and infiltration (1/1) was evidenced by clear water that enters the sewer system from a variety of sources. 1/1 is a problem because it takes up fixed capacity in regional sewer pipes (interceptors), capacity that will be needed for future households in the region. 1/1 can also be costly to communities. Once clear water gets mixed in with wastewater, communities are charged for the treatment of all the water. Evidence that overflows had occurred in multiple parts of the system was also observed during the inspection. Inspectors also observed an active sewer leak occurring on Cheoa Street. This leak was occurring on a private line serving number 57, 69, 89, and 97 Cheoa Street. In the last year, this system has also had issues with sewer backing up into homes connected to the Town's collection lines. The Town's wastewater plant typically flows at approximately half of its permitted capacity. During storm events, 1/1 frequently inundates the facility with storm water exceeding'the hydraulic. capacity of the plant -and leading. to inadequate treatment of wastewater. The Town. of Andrew's wastewater facility is in' an extfeme state of disrepair and additional 1/1 produces further stress on the equipment and a diminished ability to effectively treat wastewater. The Town should actively seek funding to conduct a flow study and to begin to rehab the sewer lines which are susceptible to inflow and infiltration.

FORM: PSFMGSA 03/08 Page 6 of 6 OVERVIEW This project consists of the replacement and upgrade of existing sewerline that has deteriorated and is a significant source of inflow and infiltration. Although most of the project involves replacing existing vitrified clay pipe (VCP) with ductile iron pipe (DIP) of equal diameter, portions of the project will upgrade the existing VCP sewer with DIP sewer of greater diameter to accommodate future growth and improve operations. It should be noted that no additional flow will be added to the collection system as a result of the proposed improvements. The upgraded sewerlines are as follows: Recreation Park Pump Station: This pump station currently utilizes a 4" force main to convey flow to the Conaheeta Drive main gravity sewer interceptor manhole at the intersection of Conaheeta Drive and Wilson Street. The existing force main will be upgraded with approxunately 370 linear feet (LF) of 6" DIP force main. Hill Street / Highland Place area: This area currently utilizes 6" VCP gravity sewer to convey flows to the maul interceptor. This project will replace the existing 6" VCP with approximately 760 LF of 8" DIP per State minimum design criteria. The new 8" sewerline will be constructed with a minimum slope of 0.40%. Conaheeta Drive: The Conaheeta Drive sewer interceptor conveys all flows from the sewershed to the Conaheeta Drive Pump Station. The existing 10" VCP sewerline will be replaced with approximately 1,380 LF of 18" DIP to accommodate estimated ultimate tributary flows. II. DESIGN Recreation Park Pump Station The proposed 6" DIP force main will increase the pump station capacity from approximately 375 gpm to approximately 560 gpm. The pump station capacity calculations, to include existing pump curve, system characteristics, system curve calculations, and system curve vs. pump curve graph may be found at the end of this section. Downstream Sewer Evaluation The Recreation Parlc Pump Station will discharge into the proposed 18" gravity sewer that conveys flows to the Conaheeta Drive Pump Station. The wastewater collection system and pump stations are owned and operated by the Town of Murphy. Although this project will not add new flow to the system, the downstream sewer will be evaluated to account for the increased Recreation Park Pump Station capacity. -termine PeakingFacto actor Per NCDENR minimum design criteria, the peaking factor is calculated as follows: PF=18+�P 4+� Where: PF = Peaking Factor P = Service Population (thousands) Per the North Carolina Office of State Budget and Management, for the Murphy municipality the estimated number of persons per household is 2.1255. The service area population can be calculated as: P = 795 homes x 2.1255 persons/home =1,690 persons Therefore: PF_18+ 1. 99 =3.6 4+ 1.69 Determine Peak Flow Existing Flow (as recorded at Conaheeta Drive PS) = 310,000 gpd Existing Peak Flow = 3 10, 000 gpd x 3.6 = 1,116,000 gpd Flow due to increased Recreation Park PS capacity = 185 gpm x 1440 = 266,400 gpd Proposed Total Estimated Peak Flow = 1,116,000 gpd + 266,400 gpd = 1,382,400 gpd Determine Capacity of Downstream Gravity Sewer Use Manning's Equation to determine the full pipe capacity: 1.49 Ro.67 So.s Q= n Where: n = 0.013 S = 0.0012 (nununuim allowable slope) Q _ 1.49 (7c . (1.5 ft)2) . (1.5 ft 4 )0.67 . (0.0012)0.5 = 3.64 cfs = 2.352,587 gpd 0.013 4 The Proposed Total Estimated Peak Flow (1,382,400 gpd) represents approximately 59% of the total pipe capacity; therefore, the proposed project flows will not overburden the downstream gravity sewer. germine Capacity of Downstream PumU Station The downstream Conaheeta Drive Pump Station has a rated capacity of 1425 gpm (2,052,000 gpd). Since the proposed total estimated peak flow (1,382,400 gpd) is less than the rated capacity of the Conaheeta Drive Pump Station (2,052,000 gpd), it can be seen that the additional flow from the proposed project will not overburden the Conaheeta Drive Pump Station. Conaheeta Drive Sewer Interceptor According to North Carolina's gravity sewer minirnum design criteria, sewer capacities shall be designed for the estimated ultimate tributary population including consideration given to the maximum anticipated capacity of institutions, industrial parks, etc... The non -severed sewershed area that has the potential to become tributary to the main sewer interceptor along Connahetta Drive includes approximately 17,330 acres along the US Highway 74/19/129 corridor (see Attachment 5 at the end of this section). 15,500 acres, or about 90%, of the potential tributary area was selected as a conservative figure for purposes of estimating future flows. Since the construction of US Highway 74/19/129, the corridor has experienced a higher rate of commercial and residential growth compared to other areas within the Town. Assuming a cormercial corridor offset 100-feet from the highway, the total area for potential commercial use is approximately 200 acres. Per North Carolina standards set forth in 15NCAC2T, design daily flow rates for proposed non-residential developments where the types of use and occupancy are not known shall be designed for a minimum of 880 gallons per acre per day, resulting in a total estimated future tributary commercial flow of 176,000 gpd. The remaining 15,300 acres is assumed to be used for residential purposes; assuming an ultimate residential build -out of one (1) house per ten (10) acres and an average daily use of 300 gpd per Home, the total estimated future tributary residential flow is 459,000 gpd. The total estimated future tributary flow to the Connahetta sewer main interceptor is 635,000 gpd. Historic pump run time records for the Connahetta Drive pump station indicate a dry weather average daily flow of approximately 310,000 gpd. Therefore, the total estimated future flow tributary to the Connahetta Drive sewer main interceptor is 945,000 gpd. The capacity of a 16-inch gravity sewer line at minimum required slope flowing half -full is 927,773 gpd. Therefore, it is recommended that the existing 10-inch gravity sewer along Connahetta Drive be upgraded to an 18-inch gravity sewer line to accommodate future tributary flows. The 18-inch gravity sewer also has a low minimum slope requirement. The shallower slope will allow the proposed sewer line to be constructed out of the 100-year flood -plain.

The County dida fine job of taking the NCONEMAP data and producing a good starter collection system map. I have discussed with Trevor Lovin, Cherokee County GIS Coordinator, where we go from here. Trevor indicates a willingness to help the Town further. If you will, ask Red and Sammy to locate all manholes and missing sewers on one of your paper copies, then the County could incorporate that new information into the map. I encourage you to keep this project moving along. Sincerely, Roy Davis Environmental Engineer Cc:.

Wastewater Collection System Cherokee County Dear Mr. Green: Attached is the report resulting from the Town of Andrews' Collection System Permit Compliance Evaluation Inspection that I conducted on December 16, 2008. The Town of Andrews is making good progress in terms of compliance with the requirements of its Collection System Permit. The Town badly needsa comprehensive collection system map. A Town is in a precarious position when that the Town's collections system map resides in the head of key employees. You have got to get this information into computer or onto paper. I encourage you to look into the possibility of a grant to allow the Town to contract with a consulting engineer to prepare a GIS collection system map. I encourage Dillard to continue collection of information which hopefully can some day be made a part of a GIS collection system map. Just as a reminder, the Town's Collection System Permit requires a map showing pipe size, pipe material, pipe location, flow direction, pipe age, service taps, and sewage pumping station names and capacities. If it is still the plan to turn information over to Cherokee County to layer the Town's collection system of the County's 911 map, you need to find some way to speed the collection of the necessary information. For an interim collection system map I have asked Deborah Weatherly, IS Administrator with Cherokee County, if she can make use of the NCONEMAP dav� produce a collection system map for the Town of Andrews. Debbie just called to tell me that the map is ready. Would you please arrange to have them picked up and send me a copy. The NCONEMAP data was gathered in 1997. Even so it may give you a good starter map of the Town's collection system. 2090 U.S. Highway 70, Swannanoa, N.C. 28778 828/296-4500 (Telephone) 828/299-7043(Fax) Customer Service 877-623-6748 NorthCarolina Attached I am returning the Town's collection system Capital Improvements Plan with a new page which allow the CIP to meet permit requirements. The next time I visit Andrews I will bring an additional page for the Town's Spill Response Plan. I encourage you to consider the purchase of a trailer mounted Closed Circuit Television CCTV Camera to be used in sewer maintenance. Most towns find that a CCTV soon pays for itself by preventing the unnecessary digging up of sewers. A person doing sewer maintenance is working blind without a television camera to insert in a problem sewer. I appreciate your time yesterday.

At time of the next inspection the Town should have a revenue statement present. Town should maintain written records documenting twice yearly inspection of its one aerial crossing. Even though the Town has to mow only 500-600 feet of sewer right-of-way, written records of this activity should be maintained. The Town should add to its Spill Response Action Plan phone numbers of contractors and septic,tank pumping companies who might be called in event of a collection system emergency. encourage the Town to move in the direction of GIS mapping for its collection system.

Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, Y.E. Director Division of Water Quality The unit of government for whom you work has a collection system permit issued by the Division of Water Quality. it is our plan to conduct an annual Compliance Evaluation inspection of your program for operating, maintaining and improving your collection system. The inspection will consist of a review of ordinances, logs, budgets and inspections of sewers, equipment, pump stations and right-of-ways. The purpose of this letter is to tell you the type documents:we would like for you to have present for the inspection and the order we would like to see them. 1. Grease reduction Public Education Program (established and documented) 2. Sewer Use Ordinance and Legal Authority for Ordinance 3. Grease trap ordinance 4. Septic tank ordinance a. enforcement actions within the past 12 months 5. Capital Improvement Plan 6. Maintenance records for sewer lines 7. Records recording citizen complaints 8. Record of sewer system overflows (SSO's) a. sewer system overflow press releases and distribution list 9. Records documenting annual inspection of entire system 10. Records documenting semiannual inspection of high priority lines 11. Maintenance logs of major equipment used to clean and maintain sewer system including startup records of stand-by power units. 12. Pump station inspection, operation and maintenance logs 13. Right-of-way maintenance records 14. System cleaning records 15. Spill response action plan 16. Spare part inventory 17. System map 18. Sewer system budget including revenue 19. Most recent Collection System Annual Report 20. Your Collection System Permit. It is obvious that the purpose of the above, rather lengthy, list is to help you document what you are doing in the way of sewer system operations and maintenance. These same records allow us to determine compliance with permit requirements. We want to see a little fancy footwork when we conduct an inspection. If you use loose paper records we would like to see files organized, titled, complete, present and stacked neatly. If you use loose-leaf notebooks, dividers should be used between sections. We are more than pleased to sit in front of a computer screen during the inspection if you use computer -based records. Behind a system of well organized records we obviously want a solid program of sewer operations, maintenance, rehabilitation and replacement leading to the reduction, as far as possible, in the occurrence of sewer system overflows and the amount of infiltration and inflow arriving at wastewater treatment plants.

Bill Green, Town Administrator June 27, 2008 TOWN of ANDREWS COLLECTION SYSTEM CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS PLAN It is the goal of the Town of Andrew to collect the Town's wastewater, reducing to the extent possible the number of Sanitary Sewer Overflows and sewer blockages experienced, at a cost affordable to its residents. In order to reduce the cost of transporting and treating the Town's wastewater the Town will, at every opportunity, eliminate sources of Infiltration/Inflow. The collection system serves the Town of Andrews and a portion of Cherokee County, primarily to the west of Town where industrial development has occurred. The existing system consists of gravity line, man holes, four duplex pumping stations and the associated force mains. Two of the pump stations are equipped with telemetry and three of the pump stations are equipped with permanently installed emergency power generators. Collection system deficiencies relate primarily to the pump stations. The Huddle House -BP Station pump station in particular is in desperate need of rebuilding. Approximately sixty percent of the Town's gravity lines are terracotta. Over time joint material will can be expected to loosen allowing groundwater entry and root penetration. Replacement of terracotta lines will be a long term project. Sanitary Sewer overflows occurring after hours and on weekends shall be reported to the State Emergency Operations Center at (800)858-0368.

Box 217 Andrews, NC 28901 SUBJECT: Privately -owned Collection Systems and Privately -owned Pump Stations Cherokee County Dear Mr. Green: As we have continued our evaluations of sewage collection systems management, it was recognized that there are a group of contributors that may not be informed of their individual responsibilities. In March 2000, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission enacted rules related to sewage collection systems. These rules are now found in the North Carolina Administrative Code 15 NCAC 2T .0403 for deemed permitted facilities. They include facilities with a privately -owned collection system that serve condominiums, apartments, mobile home parks, subdivisions, shopping centers, colleges, etc. that are tributary to larger municipally owned systems, yet are not owned or managed by the municipality. If you are aware of any such privately -owned collection systems, we would also like to be informed of their existence. In addition, we would like to know where any privately -owned pump stations are located that are connected to your collection system. The type of information we are requesting is the facility name, location and contact person. If that system is in a state of disrepair or if you have received complaints about it previously, please note that as well. Your attention to this request is most appreciated. We have been notified of problems at some of these facilities in the past and have had a difficult time locating the responsible party to affect a repair to the problem. A response from you within 30 days would be very helpful as we try to ensure that all owners of collection systems are meeting the regulatory requirements of reporting spills and providing the proper operation and maintenance of their systems. Hopefully, this will also be beneficial to the operation of your municipal collection system.

The Town of Andrews is making progress in terms of compliance with the requirements of its Collection System Permit. I encourage Dillard to continue collection of information which hopefully can some day be made a pert of a GIS collection system map. Following are Collection System Permit requirements needing the Town's attention: (1) The Town does not conduct a Public Education Program relating to the proper disposal of residential grease. I gave Sammy Hollaway information that might be made into a brochure to be given out at Town Hall when people come in to pay their water/sewer bill. (2) The Town does not have a collection system Capital Improvements Plan (CIP). The plan should span three to five years, include a Goals statement, description of service area, description of the existing facilities, include known deficiencies, and forecast of future needs. I gave Sammy a copy of the Town of Murphy's CIP which with modification would serve the Town of Andrews. (3) At time of the next inspection the Town should have a revenue statement present which shows revenues resulting from sale of wastewater collection and treatment services. (4) The Town should keep written record of its twice -yearly inspection of its one aerial crossing. 2090 U.S. Highway 70, Swannanoa, N.C. 28778 8281296-4500 (Telephone) 828l299-7043(Fax) Customer Service 877-623-6748 NonhCarolina (5) The Town is not maintaining•records.ofsewer right-of-way maintenance.

At time of the next inspection the Town should have a revenue statement present. Town.should maintain written records documenting twice yearly inspection of its one aerial crossing. Even though the Town has to mow only 500-600 feet of sewer right-of-way, written records of this activity should be maintained. i The Town should add to its Spill Response Action Plan phone numbers of contractors and septic tank pumping companies who might be called in event of a collection system emergency. I encourage the Town to move in the direction of GIS mapping for its collection system.
