John E. Skvarla, III Governor Director Secretary May 31, 2013 Mr. Johnny Rogers Alamance-Burlington School System 1712 Vaughn Road Burlington, North Carolina 27217 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. North Carolina Division of Water Quality, Winston-Salem Regional Office Location: 585 Waughtown St. Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27107 .

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.

Dee Freeman Governor Director Secretary June 1, 2012 Mr. Johnny Rogers Alamance-Burlington School System 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 North Carolina Division of Water Quality, Winston-Salem Regional Office Location: 585 Waughtown St. Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27107 Phone: 336-771-50001 FAX: 336-77146301 Customer Service: 1-877-623-6748 Internet: www.ncwaterquality.org An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer Nne orthCarolina 1atura!!� 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. Sincerely, W.

Sullins Dee Freeman Governor Director Secretary January 24, 2011 Dr. Randy Bridges, Superintendent Alamance-Burlington School System 1712 Vaughn Road Burlington, North Carolina 27217 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 North Carolina Division of Water Quality, Winston-Salem Regional Office Location: 585 Waughtown St. Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27107 Phone: 336-771-50001 FAX: 336-771-46301 Customer Service: 1-877-623-6748 Internet: www.ncwaterquality.org Nne orthCarolina Naturally An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer 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.

Sullins Governor Director January 29, 2010 Dr. Randy Bridges, Superintendent Alamance-Burlington School System 1712 Vaughn Road Burlington, NC 27217 Resources Dee Freeman Secretary 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.

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.

Detrt of FNR OCT 02M Winston-Salem Regional Office Dee Freeman Secretary Subject: Notification of Jordan Lake Nutrient Requirements NPDES Permits NC0031607, NC0045128, NC0045144, NC0045152, and NCO045161 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: 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Location: 512 N.

Merrill, Superintendent Notification of Jordan Lake Nutrient Requirements September 25, 2009 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. If you have any questions regarding these allocations, please contact me at (919) 807-6402 or at mike. templeton@ncdenr.gov. cc: Winston-Salem Regional Office Central Files Sincerely, . Coleen H.

Sullins Dee Freeman Governor Director Secretary March 13, 2009 Dr. Randy Bridges, Superintendent Alamance-Burlington School System 1712 Vaughn Road Burlington, NC 27217 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
