Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
NPDES Permit No. NCO045128
Sylvan 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 Sylvan 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 May 1, 2011 and expires April 30, 2016. A copy of the current NPDES
permit was available on site for review.
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 septic tank, dosing tank, surface sand filter, and ultraviolet disinfection. No alarms
are present on this system. Access to the sand bed is not restricted to the general public.

6. Operations & Maintenance
Alamance-Burlington School System is responsible for maintenance at this treatment facility, including
the sand bed. 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 alarms. However, all six UV bulb
sensors were on and Ms. Graznak verified that the bulbs were operational. The ORC stated that
maintenance staff cleans bulbs on a quarterly basis, and he documents this in his logbook.
The sand at this facility was replaced in December 2014. There was some evidence of black staining,
which the ORC said happened after the dosing tank filter was cleaned. He believes it probably stirred up
some settled solids in the bottom of the tank.
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
Jenkins Waste Management typically pumps out the septic tank once per year. The last pump -out
occurred on August 25, 2014 according to records at the facility.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent is discharged into Cane Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent pipe has been
located at this facility. Effluent samples are collected from the spout at the end of the UV cylinder. The
effluent appeared clear with no noticeable solids on the day of the inspection.
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 [phone].

but the bulbs were on. Ms. Graznak requested that the intensity monitor be turned on, and it read 5%. As
the monitor stayed on, it went down to 0%. Please fix this problem immediately. The ORC suggested that
the probe is broken.
Ms. Graznak noted during her inspection that the surface of the sand bed was discolored. The black
appearance of the sand could be caused by algae or the possible release of sludge from the dosing tank.

Dear Dr. Rogers:
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the wastewater
treatment facility at Sylvan 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 May 1, 2011 and expires April 30, 2016. A copy of an older edition of
the permit is kept in the locked 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 septic tank, dosing tank, surface sand filter, and ultraviolet disinfection. Due to
the age of the system, no alarms are present on the septic tank. Access to the sand bed is not
restricted to the general public.
6. Operations & Maintenance

facility. The six UV bulbs are changed every 8,000 hours, according to a maintenance sticker in the
UV shed. The ORC cleans the bulbs every week. 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 50%. The ORC stated that he adds soda ash to regulate
pH. The sand beds appeared to be well -maintained.
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, 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 septic hauling.
8. Sludge Handling & Disposal
Jenkins Waste Management works on contract to pump out the septic tank every summer.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent is discharged into Cane Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent pipe has
been located at this facility. 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 [phone].

Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION —Effluent Limitations (MAY 2011)
NPDES Permit No. NC 0045128
Sylvan Elementary School
Alamance County
Dear Dr. Bridges:
A review of the self -monitoring report for the month of May 2011 revealed the following violations of
permit limits:
Parameter
Date
Limit Value
Reported Value
Limit Type
Fecal coliform
5/17/2011
400 # / 100 ml
5,200 # / 100 ml
Daily Limit
Actions should be taken to avoid the recurrence of the above noncompliance problem. Since this
particular parameter (Fecal Coliform) continues to be problematic at this facility, it appears that a
regular bulb -cleaning schedule for the UV equipment should be instated. Please do not wait until an
exceedance of permit parameters before cleaning the bulbs in future. You should be aware that
violations of your NPDES permit could subject you to enforcement action by this Division with the
possible assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation. Should you have any
questions, please contact Jenny Graznak or me at [phone].

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection — NPDES Permit No. NCO045128
Sylvan Elementary School WWTP — Alamance County
Dear Dr. Bridges:
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the
wastewater treatment facility at Sylvan 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 May 1, 2006 and expires April 30, 2011. 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 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 and August. 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 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 a septic tank, a dosing tank, a surface sand filter, and an ultraviolet
disinfection system. Due to the age of the system, no alarms are present on the septic tank.
No major problems were noted during the facility inspection. Access to the sand bed is not
restricted to the general public.

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. These maintenance employees rake the
sand beds on a weekly basis. The sand beds appeared to be well maintained with no
vegetation noted. Since the UV bulb is housed in a cylinder, 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.
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
Jenkins Waste Management works on contract to pump out the septic tank on a regular basis,
typically every 6 months. According to receipts, the last pump -out occurred in November 2010.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent is discharged into Cane Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent pipe has
been located at this facility. 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 [phone].

Actions should be taken to avoid the recurrence of the above noncompliance problem. Since this
particular parameter (Fecal Coliform) continues to be problematic at this facility, it appears that a
regular bulb cleaning schedule for the UV equipment should be instated. Please do not wait until an
exceedance of permit parameters before cleaning the bulbs in future. You should be aware that
violations of your NPDES permit could subject you to enforcement action by this Division with the
possible assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day per violation. Should you have any

The wastewater discharge permits for the Sylvan Elementary School WWTP (NC0045128) and the
Altamahaw/Ossipee Elementary School WWTP (NC0045161) will expire on 4/30/2011.
Federal (40 CFR 122) and state (15A NCAC 2H.0105 (e)) regulations require that permit renewal applications
be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. Your renewal applications are due to the
Division no later than November 1, 2010. The application form for your facility type is attached to this
message.
Failure to apply for renewal by the appropriate deadline can result in a civil penalty assessment or other
enforcement activity at the discretion of the Director. If either facility is still discharging any wastewater, its
permit must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit violates North Carolina General
Statute 143-215.1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
Use the attached checklist to complete your renewal packages. The checklist identifies the items you must
submit with each permit renewal application. If all wastewater discharge has ceased at either facility and you
wish to rescind its permit, please contact me by replying to this message.

The permit became effective May 1, 2006 and expires April 30, 2011. A copy of the permit is
kept in the facility notebook maintained in the locked shed at the plant.
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 monthly limit in January and the Fecal Coliform daily
maximum limit in October. 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 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 a septic tank, a dosing tank, a surface sand filter, and an ultraviolet
disinfection system. Due to the age of the system, no alarms are present on the septic tank.
No major problems were noted during the facility 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. These maintenance employees rake the
sand beds on a monthly basis. The sand beds appeared to be well maintained with no
vegetation. 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.
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 as needed 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
Jenkins Waste Management works on contract to pump out the septic tank on a regular basis,
typically every 6 months. According to receipts, the last pump -out occurred October 23, 2009.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent is discharged into Cane Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent pipe has
been located at this facility. 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 [phone].

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 TradinZ. 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 Division's 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 [phone] or at
mike. [e-mail].

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection — NPDES Permit No. NCO045128
Sylvan Elementary School WWTP — Alamance County
Dear Dr. Bridges:
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the
wastewater treatment facility at Sylvan 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 May 1, 2006 and expires April 30, 2011. A copy of the permit is
kept in the shed at the plant.
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 were violations of the Fecal Coliform Limit in October and November. Our office has
previously assessed these violations.
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
septic tank, a dosing tank, and a surface sand filter. Due to the age of the system, no alarms
are present on the septic tank. No major problems were noted during the facility 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. These maintenance employees rake the
sand beds on a monthly basis. The sand beds appeared to be well maintained with no
vegetation. 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.
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
Jenkins Waste Management works on contract to pump out the septic tank on a regular basis,
typically every 6 months. According to receipts, the last pump -out occurred February 17, 2009.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent is discharged into Cane Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent pipe has
been located at this facility. 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 [phone].

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection — NPDES Permit No. NCO045128
Sylvan Elementary School WWTP — Alamance County
Dear Dr. Bridges:
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the
wastewater treatment facility at Sylvan 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 May
kept in the shed.
1, 2006 and expires April 30, 2011. A copy of the permit is
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 and seven (7) daily violations of the Total
Residual Chlorine Limit in November and 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. Daily calibration records of field meters 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 septic tank, a
dosing tank, and a surface sand filter. Due to the age of the system, no alarms are present on
the septic tank.

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. Please be advised that any
removed sand filter media must go to a Municipal Solid Waste Landfill.
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
Richard Jenkins Septic Tank Service works on contract to pump out the septic tank every 6-8
weeks.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent is discharged into Cane Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent pipe has
been located at this facility. 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 [phone].

I'm willing to work with the schools a little on this for the months of December 07 and January 08.
You'll have to remind me when these months of data roll around and we are doing the monthly reviews
for fast tracks.

Good Morning Steve,
Hope you had a good Christmas. As we have discussed in an earlier telephone conversation the date for
compliance with the TRC limit will not be met by the permit compliance date at the following schools:
• BE Jordan Elementary
12/01/07
• Sylvan Elementary
11/07/07
• Western High
12/01/07
• Western Middle
12/01/07
All of the systems are approved for UV disinfection. Each school, as well as AO Elementary (02/01/08), should
have the UV equipment installed and operational no later than 02/01/08. A couple of issues caused the initial
delay in the project. At the beginning the school system was going to install dechlor as the means for achieving
compliance. However, after comparing the long term cost of sampling, chemical usage, equipment, etc. of
dechlor vs. UV it was determined that UV was the best option. The next issue arose during the design phase
when it was realized that several of the systems would be below grade and would be considered confined space.
To eliminate this condition we had to design pumping systems that would raise the units to ground level.
Our time line for activities is listed:
• May, June, & July 2006 Permits issued at schools
• August2006
• January 2007
• February 2007
• February 2007
• May 2007
• July 2007
• August 2007
• August 2007
• September 2007
• December 2007
Study to consider the use of dechor vs. UV undertaken
Final costs from suppliers for UV systems received
Determined that UV was the most cost effective & operator friendly method to use
Engineer started design portion of project
Submitted plans and specs. to Raleigh for approval
Resubmitted plans & specs to Raleigh after Raleigh requested modifications
Received approval from Raleigh to begin construction
Ordered equipment from supplier
Site preparations for equipment installation started at all five schools
According to the supplier equipment is to arrive by December 28, 2007

[Fwd: Alamance Burlington School System TRC Limit] imap:Hcros.ncmail.net:993/fetch%3EUID%3E/INBOX%3E26164?h'.
• January 2008 Installation of UV equipment
• February 01, 2007 Anticipated compliance with TRC limit at all schools
As you can see the school system has been very active in this project. Beside the aforementioned issues the
other problem has been with delays in dealing with the suppliers. That being said, if you can work with us about
the potential penalties it will be greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions please contact me.

Dear Mr. Wall:
A letter of request for Authorization to Construct was received May 8, 2007, by the
Division, and final plans and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and found
to be satisfactory. Authorization is hereby granted for the construction of modifications to the
existing 0.003 MGD Wastewater Treatment Plant, with discharge of treated wastewater into
Cane Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin.
This authorization results in no increase in design or permitted capacity and is awarded
for the construction of the following specific modifications:
Installation of 50 GPM duplex submersible pump station, 3000 GAL pump tank,
50 GPM closed vessel ultra violet (UV) disinfection system, audible and visual
high water alarms, pump and UV control panel, yard piping, check valves, and
other appurtenances necessary to provide a complete system, in conformity with
the project plans, specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed and
approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of
NPDES Permit No. NCO045128 issued April 3, 2006, and shall be subject to revocation unless
the wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and
limitations specified in Permit No. NC0045128.
In accordance with 15A NCAC 2T .0105, alternative design criteria has been reviewed
and approved for the design setback from Sylvan Road. A new disinfection system is required to
meet NPDES limits for chlorine effective November 1, 2007. The approved alternative design
setback for the new disinfection system from Sylvan Road is 15 feet, in lieu of the 50 feet
setback established in 15A NCAC 2T .0506 (b).

Subject: Notice of Violation
Failure to Submit Renewal Application
NPDES Permit NCO045128
Sylvan Elementary School
Alamance County
Dear Permittee:
The subject permit's expiration date is April 30, 2006. Federal [40 CFR 122] 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 November 1, 2005.
As of this date, the Division has not received your renewal application. This is a violation of Part H. 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.
Sincerely,
'Alan W. Klimek, P.E.

The following items are REQUIRED for all renewal packages:
o A cover letter requesting renewal of the permit and documenting any changes at the
facility since issuance of the last permit. Submit one signed original and two copies.
o The completed application form (copy attached), signed by the permittee or an Authorized
Representative. Submit one signed original and two copies.
o If an Authorized Representative (such as a consulting engineer or environmental
consultant) prepares the renewal package, submit written documentation showing the
authority delegated to any such Authorized Representative (see Part II.13.11.b of the
existing NPDES permit).
o A narrative description of the sludge management plan for the facility. Describe how
sludge (or other solids) generated during wastewater treatment are handled and disposed.
If your facility has no such plan (or the permitted facility does not generate any solids),
explain this in writing. Submit one signed original and two copies.
The following item must be submitted by Industrial or Municipal facilities
discharging industrial process wastewater:
o Industrial facilities classified as Primary Industries (see Appendices A-D to Title 40 of the
Code of Federal Regulations, Part 122) must submit a Priority Pollutant Analysis (PPA) in
accordance with 40 CFR Part 122.21. If the PPA cannot be completed by the time you
complete your application package, submit the application package without the PPA.
Submit the PPA as soon as possible after you receive the completed analyses.
The above requirement does NOT apply to nonindustrial facilities.
PLEASE NOTE:
Due to a change in fees effective January 1,1999, there is no renewal fee required
with your application package.
