Just to let you know that Johnny Rogers has retired from the school system. I am now the director for the school system. Can we change your contact person to myself? If you have any questions just let me know, Thanks Jay Fuller Director of Facilities and Maintenance Alamance-Burlington School System 307 Prison Camp Road, Graham, NC 27253 Office (336)570-6482 Fax (336) 570-6485 Cell (336)516-3322 jay fldler_a,abs s. k12. nc. us AoA NCDENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Pat McCrory Governor April 27, 2015 Mr. Johnny Rogers Alamance-Burlington School System 1712 Vaughn Road Burlington, NC 27217 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection NPDES Permit No. NCO045152 B.E. Jordan Elementary School WWTP Alamance County Dear Mr. Rogers: Donald R. van der Vaart Secretary Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the wastewater treatment facility at B.E. Jordan Elementary School in Alamance County on April 22, 2015. 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 monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) from April 2014 through February 2015 showed that all parameters were 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 plant operation and all analysis for monitoring requirements. ORC Matt Smith analyzes the following field parameters for the facility: temperature and pH. R & A verifies the thermometer annually (April 9, 2015). Daily calibration records, lab data, and DMRs were available for review during the inspection. 4. Flow Measurement Effluent flow is estimated using data from the school's potable water meter. 5. Facility Site Review The plant includes a bar screen, aeration tank, clarifier, and ultraviolet disinfection. However, the bar screen has so much space between slats that most debris enters directly into the aeration basin. The 450 West Hanes Mill Road, Suite 300, Winston-Salem, NC 27105 Phone: 336-776-98001 Internet: www.ncwater.org An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer — Made in part by recycled paper facility is located under a covered shed surrounded by some sound -proofing materials due to neighbor noise complaints. 6.Operations & Maintenance Alamance-Burlington School System is responsible for most maintenance at this facility, except for the blowers. The six bulbs for the UV system were all changed on February 4, 2015, according to ORC documentation. Once again, Ms. Graznak noted that the UV intensity monitor was turned off. Mr. Smith believes the school maintenance staff keeps it turned off to avoid any alarms. However, the bulb sensors were on and Ms. Graznak verified that the bulbs were operational. The ORC stated that he adds soda ash to the aeration basin order to regulate pH. He also adds dog food throughout the summer. Ms. Graznak observed evidence of grease in the clarifier. 7. Records/Reports The DMRs and lab data are maintained according to the permit. The daily operator logbook and the UV log/maintenance report are maintained in the locked shed at the facility. The facility notebook contains a copy of the current permit, sludge removal receipts, spill response plan, field parameter certification, and a list of the operators for the plant. Mr. Smith takes thorough notes in his operator logbook regarding activities at the plant, including maintenance, cleaning, and sludge removal. 8. Sludge Handling & Disposal There is no sludge digester at the plant, so Jenkins Waste Management pumps out 3,000 gallons from the aeration basin approximately every month while school is in session. The last solids removal occurred on April 16, 2015, according to ORC records. The aeration basin appeared very dark in color, which could be a sign of old sludge that needs to be wasted. 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 trough. The effluent appeared clear with no noticeable solids. Please refer to the attached checklist for further details from the inspection. If you have any questions concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 776-9800. Sincerely, Sherri V.

Facility Site Review The plant includes a bar screen, aeration tank, clarifier, and ultraviolet disinfection. The bar screen has too much space between the slats, so most debris enters directly into the aeration basin. Any collected debris from the bar screen is placed in a trash bucket, which is emptied into the school's dumpster. The plant is located under a covered shed. 6. Operations & Maintenance The ORC for this facility is Matt Smith, R & A Labs, and Back -Up ORCs are Neal McDuffie and Glenn Price also from R & A Labs. Alamance-Burlington School System is responsible for maintenance at this wastewater treatment facility except for the blowers. The six UV bulbs are changed every 8,000 hours, according to a maintenance sticker in the locked shed. One extra bulb was observed in the shed. 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 DMRs and lab data are maintained according to the permit. The daily operator logbook and the UV log/maintenance report are maintained in the locked shed at the facility. The facility notebook contains a copy of the current permit, sludge removal receipts, spill response plan, field parameter certification, and a list of the operators for the plant. Mr. Smith takes thorough notes in his operator logbook regarding activities at the plant, including maintenance, cleaning, and sludge removal. 8. Sludge Handling & Disposal There is no sludge'digester at the plant, so Jenkins Waste Management pumps out 3,000 gallons from the Page # 2 Permit: NCO045152 Inspection Date: 05/07/2014 Owner - Facility: Jordan Elementary School Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation aeration basin every month. The last solids removal occurred on April 10, 2014, according to ORC records. The aeration basin appeared very dark in color, which could be a sign of old sludge that needs to be wasted. 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 trough. . The effluent appeared clear with no noticeable solids.

Jordan Elementary School WWTP Alamance County Dear Mr. Rogers: Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the wastewater treatment facility at B.E. Jordan Elementary 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 plant operation and all analysis for permit parameters. The ORC 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, aeration tank, clarifier, and ultraviolet disinfection. The bar screen has too much space between slate, so most solids enter directly into the aeration basin. They then either settle in the clarifier or are skimmed from the surface by the ORC. Solids are placed in a trash bucket, which is emptied into the school's dumpster. The plant is under a covered shed.

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, 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. 8. Sludge Handling & Disposal There is not an operational sludge digester at the plant, so Jenkins Waste Management works on contract to pump out the clarifier every month. Sludge was last removed on May 16, 2013 according to Mr. Smith's ORC notebook. 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 trough. Please refer to the attached report for further details from the inspection.

Jordan Elementary School WWTP — Alamance County Dear Dr. Bridges: Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the wastewater treatment facility at B.E. Jordan Elementary 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 LIV shed at the facility. expires May 31, 2011. A copy of the permit is 2. Self -Monitoring 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 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's 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 an aeration tank, a clarifier, and an ultraviolet disinfection system. Due to the age of the plant, there is a non-functioning comminutor and bar screen. Solids enter directly into the aeration basin, and either settle in the clarifier or are skimmed from the surface by the ORC. Solids are placed in a trash bucket, which is emptied into the school's dumpster by the maintenance staff. The plant is under a covered shed. The motor has just recently been replaced on one of the two blowers but was not turned on yet during the inspection.

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. Typically, Mr. Turner changes the belts and air filters, while the maintenance staff changes oil and greases the motors. Bulbs are changed every 6,000 hours, according to a maintenance sticker in the UV shed. The UV bulbs are cleaned every 2 weeks — the UV trough makes this system easier to clean that at other schools. An extra bulb is maintained in the locked UV shed. 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 not an operational sludge digester at the plant, so sludge is periodically pumped from the clarifier. Jenkins Waste Management works on contract to pump out the clarifier every month. Copies of receipts from these pump -outs are maintained in the facility file. 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 trough. 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.

Jordan Elementary School WWTP — Alamance County Dear Dr. Bridges: Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the wastewater treatment facility at B.E. Jordan Elementary 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 that is stored in the shed at the plant. 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. There were numerous violations of the Fecal Coliform daily maximum (5) and monthly (4) limits at this facility, occurring in May and June 2009. Our office previously assessed these violations in separate correspondence. 3. Laboratory R & A Labs, Inc. in Kernersville, NC provides analysis for all permit parameters. R & A Lab's 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 an aeration tank, a clarifier, and an ultraviolet disinfection system. Due to the age of the plant, there is a non-functioning comminutor and bar screen. Solids enter directly into the aeration basin, and either settles in the clarifier or are skimmed from the surface by the ORC. Solids are placed in a trash bucket, which is emptied into the school's dumpster by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality, Winston-Salem Regional Office Location: 585 Waughtown St. Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27107 One Phone: 336-771-50001 FAX: 336-771-46301 Customer Service: 1-877-623-6748 NorthCarolina Internet: www.ncwaterquality.org �/ `j!✓1 ��atma l , An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer maintenance staff. The plant is under a covered shed. It was observed that a new fence has been placed around the system, as was requested at last year's inspection. 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. There was some floating grease and scum in the clarifier, which Mr. Turner attributes to the recent pump -out on January 8, 2010. Operator is regularly adding dog food as a supplement to the aeration basin. Since the installation of the UV system in 2008, the frequency of Fecal Coliform limit violations has increased at this facility. You should check to make sure that the UV bulbs and cylinder are cleaned on a regular basis and that the UV intensity and transmittance is adequate. 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 maintained 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 not an operational sludge digester at the plant, so sludge is periodically pumped from the clarifier. Jenkins Waste Management works on contract to pump out the clarifier every 4-8 weeks. According to receipts, the last pump -out occurred January 8, 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.

Permit The permit became effective June 1, 2006 and expires May 31, 2011. A copy of the permit is kept in the facility notebook that is stored in the shed at the plant. 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. There were numerous violations of the Fecal Coliform daily maximum (5) and monthly (4) limits at this facility, occurring in May and June 2009. Our office previously assessed these violations in separate correspondence. 3. Laboratory R & A Labs, Inc. in Kernersville, NC provides analysis for all permit parameters. R & A Lab's 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 an aeration tank, a clarifier, and an ultraviolet disinfection system. Due to the age of the plant, there is a non-functioning comminutor and bar screen. Solids enter directly into the aeration basin, and either settles in the clarifier or are skimmed from the surface by the ORC. Solids are placed in a trash bucket, which is emptied into the school's dumpster by the maintenance staff. The plant is under a covered shed. It was observed that a new fence has been placed around the system, as was requested at last year's inspection. 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. There was some floating grease and scum in the clarifier, which Mr. Turner attributes to the recent pump -out on January 8, 2010. Operator is regularly adding dog food as a supplement to the aeration basin. Since the installation of the UV system in 2008, the frequency of Fecal Coliform limit violations has increased at this facility. You should check to make sure that the UV bulbs and cylinder are cleaned on a regular basis and that the UV intensity and transmittance is adequate. 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 maintained 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. Page # 2 Permit: NCO045152 Inspection Date: 01/27/2010 Owner - Facility: Jordan Elementary School Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation 8. Sludge Handling & Disposal There is not an operational sludge digester at the plant, so sludge is periodically pumped from the clarifier. Jenkins Waste Management works on contract to pump out the clarifier every 4-8 weeks. According to receipts, the last pump -out occurred January 8, 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.

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.

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.

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. NCO045152 B.E. Jordan Elementary School WWTP — Alamance County Dear Dr. Bridges: Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the wastewater treatment facility at B.E. Jordan Elementary 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 1, 2006 and expires May 31, 2011. A copy of the permit is kept in the facility notebook that is stored in the shed at the plant. In the 2008 inspection report, Ms. Graznak noted that due to the recent construction work to install the UV system, the fence had been pulled away from the shed that covers the treatment plant. We recommended that the fence should be re -attached for safety reasons. During the inspection on March 11, 2009, Ms, Graznak observed that the fence has still not been fixed. The plant is adjacent to the school athletic field and offers no barrier to stop children or animals from wandering in. This issue should be addressed immediately. 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 January. 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.

Facility Site Review The ultraviolet disinfection system was installed in late January 2008. The plant also includes an aeration tank and a clarifier. Due to the age of the plant, there is a non-functioning comminutor and bar screen. Solids enter directly into the aeration basin, and either settle in the clarifier or are skimmed from surface by R & A staff. Solids are placed in a trash bucket, which is emptied into the school's dumpster by the maintenance staff. The plant is under a covered shed. Blower #1 was not operational during the inspection, although the ORC explained that it would be either rebuilt or replaced as soon as possible. Blower #2 was operational. 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 removal system in place. A dumpster should 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 maintained 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 not an operational sludge digester at the plant, so sludge is periodically pumped from the clarifier. Jenkins Waste Management works on contract to pump out the clarifier every 6-8 weeks. According to receipts, the last pump -out occurred February 17, 2009. 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.

Permit The permit became effective June 1, 2006 and expires May 31, 2011. A copy of the permit is kept in the facility notebook that is stored in the shed at the plant. In the 2008 inspection report, Ms. Graznak noted that due to the recent construction work to install the UV system, the fence had been pulled away from the shed that covers the treatment plant. We recommended that the fence should be re -attached for safety reasons. During the inspection on March 11, 2009, Ms, Graznak observed that the fence has still not been fixed. The plant is -adjacent to the school athletic field and offers no barrier to stop children or animals from wandering in. This Issue should be addressed immediately. 2.

Jordan Elementary School WWTP — Alamance County Dear Dr. Bridges: - Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the wastewater treatment facility at B.E. Jordan Elementary 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 one violation of Fecal Coliform limits in May and six (6) 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 an aeration tank and a clarifier. Due to the age of the plant, there is a non-functioning comminutor and bar screen. Solids enter directly into the aeration basin, and either settle in the clarifier or are skimmed from surface by R & A staff. The plant is under a covered shed.

Bridges Page 2 April 3, 2008 I 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 removal system in place. A dumpster should be appropriated for this purpose. Due to the recent construction work to install the UV system, the fence has been pulled away from the shed that covers that treatment plant for easier access. For safety reasons, the fence should be re -attached. 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. 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. Sincerely, Steve W.
