Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
NPDES Permit No. NCO031607
Western Alamance Middle School WWTP
Alamance County
Dear Mr. Rogers:
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the wastewater
treatment facility at Western Alamance Middle School in Alamance County on May 29, 2013. Matt
Smith, 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 nine (9) areas, and observations from each area are addressed
below:
1. Permit
The permit became effective June 1, 2011 and expires May 31, 2016. . A copy of an older edition of
the permit is kept in the locked UV shed at the facility. Please make sure that a copy of the
current permit and effluent limitations and monitoring requirements are available on site.
2. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from April 2012 through March 2013 showed that all
parameters were correctly reported per the frequencies specified in the permit. There were also no
limit violations during this time period.
3. Laboratory
R & A Labs, Inc. in Kernersville, NC provides analysis for all permit parameters. R & A Labs staff
analyzes the following field parameters for the facility: temperature and pH. R & A verifies the
thermometer annually. Calibration records are maintained with the lab data and DMRs and were
available during the inspection.
4. Flow Measurement
Effluent flow is estimated by the school's potable water meter.
5. Facility Site Review
The plant includes a bar screen, equalization tank, aeration tank, clarifier, digester, and ultraviolet
disinfection. Solids are raked from the bar screen and placed in a bucket to take to the school
dumpster. At the time of the inspection, Ms. Graznak observed that the bar screen needed raking
and the bucket needed emptying. The distance of the bar screen to the school dumpster makes
cleaning difficult. Please make sure that the screen is free of excessive debris.

6. Operations & Maintenance
The ORC for this facility is Matt Smith, R & A Labs, and Back -Up ORC is Glenn Price, R & A Labs.
Alamance-Burlington School System is responsible for maintenance at this wastewater treatment
facility except for the blowers. The four UV bulbs are changed every 8,000 hours, according to a
maintenance sticker in the shed. The bulbs are cleaned every month by the ORC. Four extra bulbs
were observed in the shed. Ms. Graznak noted that the UV intensity monitor was turned off at the
time of the inspection, but the bulbs were on. Ms. Graznak requested that the intensity monitor be
turned on, and it read 100%.
7. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and lab data are maintained according to the permit. A
copy of this data was available for review during the inspection. The daily operations logbook and
the UV log/maintenance report are maintained in the locked shed at the facility. The facility
notebook contains a copy of the permit, annual reports, sludge removal receipts, spill response plan,
field parameter certification, and a list of the operators for the plant. However, Ms. Graznak noted
that the notebook has not been updated since 2012. Please make sure that all required
information is readily available, complete, and current. Mr. Smith does, however, take excellent
notes in his visitation log notebook regarding activities at the plant, including maintenance, cleaning,
and sludge removal. He noted activities such as wasting, decanting the digester, and sampling.
8. Sludge Handling & Disposal
The ORC uses one of the empty tanks of the non -operational side of the plant as a sludge digester.
Jenkins Waste Management works on contract to pump out the digester and clarifier as needed,
typically once per year.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent is discharged into the Haw River in the Cape Fear River Basin. The location of the
effluent pipe is unknown. Effluent samples are collected from the spout at the end of the UV
cylinder.
Please refer to the attached report for further details from the inspection. If you have any
questions concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 771-5000.

Dear Mr. Rogers:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the wastewater treatment
system at Western Alamance Middle School in Alamance County on May 7, 2014. Matt Smith, 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 nine (9) areas, and observations from each area are addressed below:
1. Permit
The permit became effective June 1, 2011 and expires May 31, 2016. A copy of the current NPDES permit
was available on site during the inspection.
2. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) from April 2013 through March 2014 showed that all
parameters were correctly reported per the frequencies specified in the permit. There were also no limit
violations during this time period.
3. Laboratory
R & A Labs, Inc. in Kernersville, NC provides analysis for all permit parameters. R & A Lab staff analyzes the
following field parameters for the facility: temperature and pH. R & A verifies the thermometer annually

1712 Vaughn Road
Burlington, North Carolina 27217
Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection — NPDES Permit No. NC0031607
Western Alamance Middle School WWTP — Alamance County
Dear Mr. Rogers:
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the
wastewater treatment facility at Western Alamance Middle School in Alamance County on May
30, 2012. Morgan Turner, 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 nine (9) areas, and
observations from each area are addressed below:
1. Permit
The permit became effective June 1, 2011 and expires May 31, 2016. A copy of the permit is
kept in the locked UV shed at the facility.
2. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from April 2011 through March 2012 showed
that all parameters were correctly reported per the frequencies specified in the permit. There
were two violations of the permit's Fecal Coliform limit in May and October 2011. Our office has
previously assessed these violations through separate correspondence.
3. Laboratory
R & A Labs, Inc. in Kernersville, NC provides analysis for all permit parameters. R & A Labs
staff analyzes the following field parameters for the facility: temperature and pH. R & A verifies
the thermometer annually. Calibration records are maintained with the lab data and DMRs and
were available during the inspection.
4. Flow Measurement
Effluent flow is estimated by the school's potable water meter.
5. Facility Site Review
The plant includes a bar screen, equalization tank, aeration tank, a clarifier, and an ultraviolet
disinfection system. The plant is composed of two identical sides, each with the
abovementioned components. However, only one side is used due to the low flow of the
school. One of the unused basins has been turned into a sludge digester. Therefore, sludge is
removed from this plant on a less frequent basis than the other plants. Covers have been

added to the open basins to block the accumulation of leaves. Blowers have been moved onto
a concrete pad so that servicing them is easier.
6. Operations & Maintenance
The ORC for this facility is Morgan Turner, R & A Labs, and Back -Up ORC is Ron Wall, R & A
Labs. Alamance-Burlington School System is responsible for maintenance at this wastewater
treatment facility. Since the UV bulb is housed in a cylinder, keeping the UV bulb and inner
cylinder clean is imperative. Bulbs are changed every 6,000 hours, according to a maintenance
sticker in the UV shed. ORC stated that the UV bulbs are pulled out of the cylinder and hand -
wiped clean every other month and that the bulbs are pulled out so the cylinder can be cleaned
every 6 months. Bar screenings are placed in a trash bucket, which is emptied into the school's
dumpster by the maintenance staff. Ms. Graznak noted that the UV intensity monitor was not
working at the time of the inspection, but the bulbs were on.
7. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), files, and lab data are maintained according to the
permit. A copy of this data was available for review during the inspection. The daily operations
logbook and the UV log/maintenance report are maintained in the UV shed at the facility. The
facility notebook contains a copy of the permit, annual reports, sludge removal receipts, spill
response plan, field parameter certification, and a list of the operators for the plant.
8. Sludge Handling & Disposal
There is no sludge digester at the plant, so the ORC uses one of the empty tanks of the non-
operational side of the plant for a sludge digester. Jenkins Waste Management works on
contract to pump out the digester and clarifier as needed, typically once per year.
9. Effluent/ReceivinQ Waters
The effluent is discharged into the Haw River in the Cape Fear River Basin. The location of the
effluent pipe is unknown. Effluent samples are collected from the spout at the end of the UV
cylinder.
Please refer to the attached report for further details from the inspection. If you have any
questions concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 771-5000.

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection — NPDES Permit No. NCO031607
Western Alamance Middle School WWTP — Alamance County
Dear Dr. Bridges:
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the
wastewater treatment facility at Western Alamance Middle School in Alamance County on
January 19, 2011. Morgan Turner, 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 nine (9) areas, and
observations from each area are addressed below:
1. Permit
The permit became effective June 1, 2006 and
kept in the locked UV shed at the facility.
expires May 31, 2011. A copy of the permit is
2. Self-Monitorinq Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from January 2010 through October 2010
showed that all parameters were correctly reported per the frequencies specified in the permit.
There were several violations of the permit's Fecal Coliform limit in January, April, and
September 2010. Our office has previously assessed these violations through separate
correspondence.
3. Laboratory
R & A Labs, Inc. in Kernersville, NC provides analysis for all permit parameters. R & A Labs
staff analyzes the following field parameters for the facility: temperature and pH. R & A verifies
the thermometer annually. Calibration records are maintained with the lab data and DMRs and
were available during the inspection.
4. Flow Measurement
Effluent flow is estimated by the school's potable water meter.
5. Facility Site Review
The plant includes a bar screen, equalization tank, aeration tank, a clarifier, and an ultraviolet
disinfection system. The plant is composed of two identical sides, each with the
abovementioned components. However, only one side is used due to the low flow of the
school. One of the unused basins has been turned into a sludge digester. Therefore, sludge is

removed from this plant on a less frequent basis than the other plants. Covers have been
added to the open basins to block the accumulation of leaves. A new motor has been installed
on one of the blowers but was not connected for operation at the time of the inspection. The
maintenance workers have installed a clever pulley system to pull the pumps out of the basins
for maintenance. A spare pump in maintained in the UV shed.
6. Operations & Maintenance
The ORC for this facility is Morgan Turner, R & A Labs, and Back -Up ORC is Ron Wall, R & A
Labs. Alamance-Burlington School System has designated two staff members to work on
maintenance for the wastewater treatment facilities. Since the UV bulb is housed in a sealed
cylinder rather than a trough, keeping the UV bulb and inner cylinder clean has been an issue
since installation. Bulbs are changed every 6,000 hours, according to a maintenance sticker in
the UV shed. Every 60 days, the UV bulbs are pulled out of the cylinder and hand -wiped clean.
Every 6 months, the bulbs are pulled out so the cylinder can be cleaned. Bar screenings are
placed in a trash bucket, which is emptied into the school's dumpster by the maintenance staff.
Ms. Graznak noted that the UV monitor was not working at the time of the inspection, but the
bulbs were on. This should be repaired as soon as possible.
7. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), files, and lab data are maintained according to the
permit. A copy of this data was available for review during the inspection. The daily operations
logbook and the UV log/maintenance report are maintained in the UV shed at the facility. The
facility notebook contains a copy of the permit, annual reports, sludge removal receipts, spill
response plan, field parameter certification, and a list of the operators for the plant.
8. Sludge Handling & Disposal
There is no sludge digester at the plant, so the ORC uses one of the empty tanks of the non-
operational side of the plant for a sludge digester. Jenkins Waste Management works on
contract to pump out the digester and clarifier as needed. According to the receipts in the
facility notebook, the last pump -out occurred on March 10, 2010.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent is discharged into the Haw River in the Cape Fear River Basin. The location of the
effluent pipe is unknown. Effluent samples are collected from the spout at the end of the UV
cylinder.
Please refer to the attached report for further details from the inspection. If you have any
questions concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 771-5000.

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection — NPDES Permit No. NC0031607
Western Alamance Middle School WWTP — Alamance County
Dear Dr. Bridges:
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the
wastewater treatment facility at Western Alamance Middle School in Alamance County on
January 27, 2010. Morgan Turner, 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 nine (9) areas, and
observations from each area are addressed below:
1 _ Permit
The permit became effective June 1, 2006 and expires May 31, 2011. A copy of the permit is
kept in the facility notebook maintained in the shed.
2. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from January 2009 through December 2009
showed that all parameters were correctly reported per the frequencies specified in the permit.
3. Laboratory
R & A Labs, Inc. in Kernersville, NC provides analysis for all permit parameters. R & A Labs
staff analyzes the following field parameters for the facility: temperature and pH. R & A verifies
the thermometer annually. Calibration records are maintained with the lab data and DMRs and
were available during the inspection.
4. Flow Measurement
Effluent flow is estimated from meter readings from the school's drinking water well.
5. Facility Site Review
The plant includes a bar screen, equalization tank, aeration tank, a clarifier, and an ultraviolet
disinfection system. The plant is composed of two identical sides, each with the
abovementioned components. However, only one side is used due to the low flow of the
school. One of the unused basins has been turned into a sludge digester. Covers have been
added to the open basins to block the accumulation of leaves.

6. Operations & Maintenance
The ORC for this facility is Morgan Turner, R & A Labs. Back -Up Operators are also from R & A
Labs. Alamance-Burlington School System has designated two staff members to work on
maintenance for the wastewater treatment facilities. Mr. Turner keeps an Equipment
Maintenance log sheet with the Daily Operations Log in order to track and schedule
maintenance activities such as changing belts and air filters on the blowers. Bar screenings are
placed in a trash bucket, which is emptied into the school's dumpster by the maintenance staff.
7. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), files, and lab data are maintained according to the
permit. A copy of this data was available for review during the inspection. Daily operators log is
kept at the facility. The facility notebook contains a copy of the permit, annual reports, sludge
removal receipts, spill response plan, field parameter certification, and a list of the operators for
the plant.
8. Sludge Handling & Disposal
There is no sludge digester at the plant, so the ORC uses one of the empty tanks of the non-
operational side of the plant for a sludge digester. Jenkins Waste Management works on
contract to pump out the digester and clarifier as needed. According to the receipts in the
facility notebook, the last pump -out occurred on March 26, 2008.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent is discharged into the Haw River in the Cape Fear River Basin. The location of the
effluent pipe is unknown. Effluent samples are collected from the spout at the end of the UV
cylinder.
Please refer to the attached report for further details from the inspection. If you have any
questions concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 771-5000.

Alamance-Burlington School System WWTPs
Alamance County
Governor Bev Perdue recently signed legislation to complete passage of rules for the Jordan Lake
Nutrient Management Strategy. The Strategy includes a Wastewater Discharge rule (T15A NCAC 02B
.0270) that applies to your wastewater treatment facility. Pursuant to Sub -Item (6)(d) of the rule, I am
writing to notify you of the nutrient allocations assigned to your facility.
This letter addresses only certain provisions of the Jordan Lake Wastewater Discharge rule. I encourage
you to familiarize yourself with the remainder of this rule.
Nutrient Allocations. The Wastewater Discharge rule establishes the maximum loads of nitrogen and
phosphorus that can be released from wastewater treatment facilities into the Jordan Lake watershed.
The rule provides that these wasteload allocations are to be divided among the existing facilities in
proportion to (with specific exceptions) their 2001 permitted flows. It also provides that facilities
permitted to discharge 100,000 gpd or more are to receive nitrogen and phosphorus limits equivalent to
their individual allocations.
Your facility has been assigned nitrogen and phosphorus allocations. The allocations are expressed as
annual mass loadings delivered to the lake. Due to foreseeable losses between the discharge point and
the lake, they are also expressed as the equivalent discharge loads at the point of discharge. The
delivered and the corresponding discharge allocations assigned to your facility are as follows:

Nutrient Limits. Your facility will not receive new nutrient limits at this time. However, any nutrient
limits already in your NPDES permit will remain in effect.
If the facilities permitted for less than 100,000 gpd, as a group, approach their allocations for nitrogen
or phosphorus, the Division will consider whether nutrient limits are necessary to protect water quality
at that time. In the event that nutrient limits become necessary, the limits would equal your facility's
discharge allocations.
Nutrient Trading. The rule provides that, when one utility connects to another, the allocations held by
the closing facility are transferred to the remaining facility. The rule also provides for the trading of
allocations among dischargers within each of the major Jordan subwatersheds. Be sure to consult with
the Divisions NPDES staff before you consider selling allocation: transactions can have profound
implications for your facility and its permit.

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection — NPDES Permit No. NCO031607
Western Alamance Middle School WWTP — Alamance County
Dear Dr. Bridges:
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the
wastewater treatment facility at Western Alamance Middle School in Alamance County on
March 11, 2009. Morgan Turner, 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 nine (9) areas, and
observations from each area are addressed below:
1. Permit
The permit became effective June
kept in the shed.
1, 2006 and expires May 31, 2011. A copy of the permit is
2. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from January 2008 through December 2008
showed that all parameters were correctly reported per the frequencies specified in the permit.
There was a violation of the Fecal Coliform Limit in September. Our office previously assessed
this violation.
3. Laboratory
R & A Labs, Inc. in Kernersville, NC provides analysis for all permit parameters. R & A Labs
staff analyzes the following field parameters for the facility: temperature and pH. R & A verifies
the thermometer annually. Calibration records were available during inspection.
4. Flow Measurement
Effluent flow is estimated from meter readings from the school's drinking water well.
5. Facility Site Review
The ultraviolet disinfection system was installed in late January 2008. The plant also includes a
bar screen, equalization tank, aeration tank, and a clarifier. The plant is composed of two
identical sides, each with the abovementioned components. However, only one side is used
due to the low flow of the school. One of the unused basins has been turned into a sludge
digester.

6. Operations & Maintenance
The ORC for this facility is Morgan Turner, R & A Labs. Back -Up Operators are also from R & A
Labs. Alamance-Burlington School System has designated two staff members to work on
maintenance for the wastewater treatment facilities. Mr. Turner keeps an Equipment
Maintenance log sheet with the Daily Operations Log in order to track and schedule
maintenance activities. Bar screenings are placed in a trash bucket, which is emptied into the
school's dumpster by the maintenance staff.
7. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), files, and lab data are maintained according to the
permit. A copy of this data was available for review during the inspection. Daily operators log is
kept at the facility. The facility notebook contains a copy of the permit, annual reports, sludge
removal receipts, spill response plan, field parameter certification, and a list of the operators for
the plant.
8. Sludge Handling & Disposal
There is no sludge digester at the plant, so the ORC uses one of the empty tanks of the non-
operational side of the plant for a sludge digester. Jenkins Waste Management works on
contract to pump out the digester and clarifier as needed.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent is discharged into the Haw River in the Cape Fear River Basin. The location of the
effluent pipe is unknown. Effluent samples are collected from the spout at the end of the UV
cylinder.
Please refer to the attached report for further details from the inspection. If you have any
questions concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 771-5000.

Dear Dr. Bridges:
Coleen Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the
wastewater treatment facility at Western Alamance Middle School in Alamance County on
March 28, 2008. Morgan Turner, ORC, and Clifford Cain of R & A Labs, Inc. were 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 nine (9) areas, and observations from each area are addressed below:
1. Permit
The permit became effective June 1, 2006 and expires May 31, 2011. A copy of the permit is
kept in the shed.
2. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from January 2007 through December 2007
showed violations of Fecal Coliform limits in January -April and three violations of Total
Suspended Solids limits in June and October. There were also seven (7) daily violations of the
Total Residual Chlorine Limit in December after the start of the new TRC limit. Our office has
previously assessed these violations. All parameters were reported per the frequencies
specified in the permit.
3. Laboratory
R & A Labs, Inc. in Kernersville, NC provides analysis for all permit parameters. R & A Labs
staff analyzes the following field parameters for the facility: total residual chlorine, temperature,
and pH. Chlorine is measured with a Hach test kit, which is annually calibrated by R & A Labs,
Inc. R & A verifies the thermometer annually. Calibration records were available during
inspection.
4. Flow Measurement
Effluent flow is estimated from meter readings from the school's drinking water well. The school
plans to install a flow meter in the next few months to provide a better effluent measurement. -
5. Facility Site Review
The new Total Residual Chlorine limit took effect on December 1, 2007. An ultraviolet
disinfection system was installed in late January 2008. The plant also includes a bar screen,
equalization tank, aeration tank, and a clarifier. The plant is composed of two identical sides,
each with the abovementioned components. However, only one side is used due to the low flMori Carolina

6. Operations & Maintenance
The ORC for this facility is Morgan Turner, R & A Labs. Back -Up Operators are also from R & A
Labs. Alamance-Burlington School System and R&A Labs are presently negotiating to
determine who should handle maintenance activities at the facility. In particular, it is imperative
to properly dispose of bar screenings to have a system in place. A dumpster should to be
appropriated for this purpose.
7. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), files, and lab data are maintained according to the
permit. A copy of this data was available for review during the inspection. Daily operators log is
kept at the facility.
8. Sludge Handling & Disposal
There is not an operational sludge digester at the plant, so sludge is periodically pumped from
the clarifier. Richard Jenkins Septic Tank Service works on contract to pump out the clarifier
every 4-6 weeks. However, the ORC is currently working to use one of the empty tanks on the
non -operational side of the plant for a digester. .
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent is discharged into the Haw River in the Cape Fear River Basin. The location of the
effluent pipe is unknown. Effluent samples are collected from the end of the UV system.
Please refer to the attached report for further details from the inspection. If you have any
questions concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 771-5000.

Dear Permittee:
The subject permit's expiration date is May 31, 2006. Federal [40 CFR 1221 and state (15A NCAC
2H.0105(e)) regulations require that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration
of the current permit. To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package should have been sent to the Division
postmarked no later than December 2, 2005.
As of this date, the Division has not received your renewal application. This is a violation of Part II. B. 10.
of your permit, which states "Any permittee that has not requested renewal at least 180 days prior to
expiration... will subject the permittee to enforcement procedures as provided in NCGS 143-215.6 and 33 USC
1251 et. seq.". To prevent an assessment of civil penalties you must submit a completed permit application
(see enclosed forms) no later than December 30, 2005.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must
submit with the permit renewal application. If all wastewater discharge from your facility has ceased and you
wish to rescind this permit [or if you have any questions] please contact Charles H. Weaver, Jr. of my staff. His
telephone number, fax number and e-mail address are listed at the bottom of this page.
