SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Town of Denton WWTP
NPDES Permit #NC0026689
Davidson County
Dear Mr. Gray:
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
A compliance Evaluation Inspection was performed at the Town of Denton's WWTP on August 6, 2015 by
Jenifer Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office. Troy Branch, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC),
was present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of an in office review of facility records and
an on -site inspection of the facility.
Noted during the inspection:
• Lab data, maintenance logs, ORC visitation logs and calibration records were well organized and
complete.
• The helisieve was out of service for repairs, with the manual bar screen used as back-up.
• There were several improvements made since the last inspection, including new float controls,
chlorine/sulfer dioxide detection system and effluent sampler.
Mr. Branch continues to maintain all records in excellent order and to operate the plant to its maximum
capability. Should you have any questions please contact me at [phone].
Sincerely,
W. Corey Basinger, Regional Supervisor

2014 Annual Wastewater Report
House Bill 1160, the Clean Water Act of 1999, was ratified by the North Carolina General
Assembly on July 20th, 1999 and signed into law by the Governor on July 21, 1999. This
legislation requires that the owner or operator of any wastewater treatment works or
wastewater collection system that treats or collects primarily domestic or municipal wastes
provide an annual report to its users or customers and to the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDENR) that summarizes the treatment works' or collection
system's performance over a 12 month period. The law states the report shall summarize
the performance of the treatment works or collection system and state the extent to which
any terms of its permit, federal laws, or any State laws, regulations or rules related to the
protection of water quality have been violated.
Collection System
The sewage collection system of the Town of Denton has approximately 20 miles of pipe
with lines sized from 6 inch to 10 inch in diameter. There are 6 sewer lift stations located in
and around town to convey the wastewater from our customers to the Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The sewer collection system is subject to regular inspection by the Division
of Water Quality a branch of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural
Resources. The collection system was last inspected in October 2011.

Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
The wastewater treatment facility operates under the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES), an EPA mandated requirement for all wastewater treatment
facilities nation-wide. This permit includes monitoring requirements and discharge limits,
some of which vary with seasons and have different maximums for daily, weekly and
monthly averages. All limits are prescribed to protect the stream and down -stream users of
the water. During the reporting year, January 1, 2014 - December 31, 2014, the Town of
Denton treated 179 million gallons of wastewater. The previous year, we treated 184 million
gallons. The WWTP is inspected regularly by the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the
Division of Water Resources to ensure compliance with Federal and State regulations. The
WWTP was last inspected on January 30, 2014. The inspection showed no violations.

The Town of Denton WWTP is located on Councill Access Road. It is an extended aeration
biological process treatment plant with a permitted flow of 800,000 gallons per day. The
treatment plant, at its current location was completed in 1984 with an expansion in 2000. In
2014, the WWTP averaged 490,000 gallons per day. After solids removal and the biological
treatment has occurred the water is disinfected with chlorine gas and subsequently de -
chlorinated with Sulfur Dioxide. The outgoing water (effluent) is monitored and analyzed for
some 17 permitted characteristics weekly and monthly. Annually, the wastewater is tested
for an additional —100 parameters. 6 of these analytes are tested in-house at the WWTP
field parameter laboratory. The parameters include; Flow, Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature,
pH, Conductivity and Ultra Low Range Chlorine Residual. Because aquatic life is more
sensitive than humans to these materials, some of these parameter limits are lower than
drinking water standards. The permits are complex and can be viewed upon request.
Environmental Programs and Services
As part of our commitment to support environmental awareness and promote a better
understanding of our community's environmental role, Denton has offered tours of the
WWTP and annually visits the local elementary school to discuss wastewater treatment,
water conservation and residential grease management with their 5th Grade classes. This is
when the topics of water reclamation and water conservation enter their curriculum. We
have also utilized the Town's annual street festival in September by setting up a booth to
spread the word about Fat's, Oil and Grease management as well as water saving tips.
Prohibited pollutants or liquids include:
• Pollutants which create a fire or explosive hazard
• Petroleum based products
• Any wastewater having a pH of less than 5.0 or greater than
9.5.
• Storm water, surface water, ground water, roof run-off, or
swimming pool drainage.
• Fats, Oils and Greases (FOG)
• Medical wastes (i.e. needles, glass fragments, razors and
expired and/or unused prescriptions/medications)
• Any wastes containing detergents or other substances which
may cause excessive foaming in the POTW.
Solid or viscous substances in amounts which will cause
obstruction in the flow in the POTW resulting in the
interference but in no case solids larger than one half
inch(1/2") in any dimension.
• Any wastewater containing pollutants, including oxygen -demanding pollutants, (BOD
etc.) in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction with other pollutants, to
cause interference with the POTW.
• Any wastewater having a temperature greater than 1500 F (66°C) or which will
inhibit biological activity in the POTW, but in no case wastewater which causes the
temperature at the introduction into the WWTP to exceed 1040 F (40°C)
Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG)
Grease is a real "pain in the drain" because it's a major cause of
problems we find in sewer lines.
Blockages occur when grease (things like oil, butter, margarine,
Sewer line inundated with grease
TH VV

shortening, pan drippings, and sauces) is poured down the drain. Grease can clog sewer
lines. Clogged sewer lines lead to sewer spills, which are messy, bad for the environment,
and can be expensive. Town of Denton does everything it can to prevent sewer spills, but
we can't do it alone. We need your help!
The best way you can prevent sewer spills is to never pour grease down the drain. Instead,
pour it into a used soup can, place in freezer to harden, and throw it away in the trash.
Don't believe the old saying:
"It's okay to pour grease down the drain as long as you run water at the same time", or
"It's perfectly fine to dump grease if you use your garbage disposal to break it up."
These are myths!
It's never okay to pour any type of grease down the drain. Here are some more ways to
"Cease the Grease"-
• Wipe or scrape your dishes before washing them
• Remove excess oil from pots and pans with a paper towel and throw it the trash can.
• Use strainers in sink drains to collect food scraps and throw away the scraps in the
trash.
Thank you for your help, and please spread the word about how important it is to "Cease
the Grease". Together, we can protect our sewer system and the environment. For more
information, please visit our web site www.TownOfDenton.com or call 859-4460.
If you have questions or comments about this report you may direct them to Mr. Troy
Branch, POTW ORC at 859-4460 or you are invited to attend the Board of Commissioners
meeting held the first and third Monday monthly at Town Hall at 201 West Salisbury Street.

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Town of Denton WWTP
NPDES Permit #NC0026689
Davidson County
Dear Mr. Gray:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
A compliance Evaluation Inspection was performed at the Town of Denton's WWTP on January 30, 2014 by Jenifer
Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office. Troy Branch, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), was present for the
inspection. This type of inspection consists of an in office review of facility records and an on -site inspection of the
facility.
Noted during the inspection:
• Lab data, maintenance logs, ORC visitation logs and calibration records were well organized and complete.
• Michael High is serving as back-up ORC until Steven Abercrombie obtains his WW Grade II Certification.
• The air temperature during the inspection was below 20' Fahrenheit, and had been for several days prior. The sludge
basin aerators were slightly tilted due to icing.
• There was some pin floc in the secondary clarifiers, though it did not appear to negatively affect treatment.
• The sand filters were out of service for repairs.
• Mr. Branch now requires sludge haulers to dump at a designated location inside the gate, at the plant, so he can
observe the procedure.
• New land (-88 acres) has been obtained for land application purposes.
Mr. Branch continues to maintain all records in excellent order and to operate the plant to its maximum capability. Should
you have any questions please contact Ms. Jenifer Carter in our Winston-Salem Regional Office at [phone].

Overall, the plant appears to be well -operated. Mr. Branch managed to bring filamentous bacteria under
control utilizing pH adjustment.
In an attempt to control what is discharged to the plant, Mr. Branch requires sludge haulers to dump at a
designated location within the plant, under plant operator supervision.
New acreage (approx. 88 acres) has been obtained for sludge application and will be utilized when the
ground thaws during warmer weather.

POTWs meeting one or more of the following criteria must provide the results of whole effluent toxicity tests for acute or chronic toxicity for each of the
facility's discharge points: 1) POTWs with a design flow rate greater than or equal to 1.0 mgd; 2) POTVVs with a pretreatment program (or those that are
required to have one under 40 CFR Part 403); or 3) POTVVs required by the permitting authority to submit data for these parameters.
• At a minimum, these results must include quarterly testing for a 12-month period within the past 1 year using multiple species (minimum of two
species), or the results from four tests performed at least annually in the four and one-half years prior to the application, provided the results
show no appreciable toxicity, and testing for acute and/or chronic toxicity, depending on the range of receiving water dilution. Do not include
information on combined sewer overflows in this section. All information reported must be based on data collected through analysis conducted
using 40 CFR Part 136 methods. In addition, this data must comply with QAlQC requirements of 40 CFR Part 136 and other appropriate QA/QC
requirements for standard methods for analytes not addressed by 40 CFR Part 136.
• In addition, submit the results of any other whole effluent toxicity tests from the past four and one-half years. If a whole effluent toxicity test
conducted during the past four and one-half years revealed toxicity, provide any information on the cause of the toxicity or any results of a
toxicity reduction evaluation, if one was conducted.
• If you have already submitted any of the information requested in Part E, you need not submit it again. Rather, provide the information
requested in question EA for previously submitted information. If EPA methods were not used, report the reasons for using alternate methods.
If test summaries are available that contain all of the information requested below, they may be submitted in place of Part E.
If no biomonitoring data is required, do not complete Part E. Refer to the Application Overview for directions on which other sections of the form to

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection

NPDES Permit #NC0026689
Davidson County
Dear Mr. Pizzurro:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
A compliance Evaluation Inspection was performed at the Town of Denton's WWTP on May 16, 2013 by
Jenifer Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office. Troy Branch, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC),
and Shane Parrish (back-up ORC) were present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of an in
office review of facility records and an on -site inspection of the facility.
Facility Records Review:
Self -monitoring data for the period of January 2011 through December 20112 showed several permit limits
violations, all of which have previously been addressed through the Division's regular monthly enforcement
program.
Permit records, including maintenance logs, ORC visitation logs and calibration records were well organized
and complete. ORC visitation logs revealed Grade 1 certified operator, Travis Morris, to be the most frequent
assistant to Mr. Branch. Mr. Morris may assist Mr. Branch, as long as he is not acting in Mr. Branch's absence
as a back-up ORC in order to meet the WWTP's minimum visitation requirements.
At Class III facility like Denton's WWTP, a back-up ORC being utilized in order to meet visitation
requirements must hold a minimum of a Grade II certification. Mr. Branch is responsible for visiting the
treatment system at least 5 days per week, excluding holidays. A properly certified back-up ORC can act
as surrogate for the ORC for up to 20 percent of the system visitations required per calendar year.
Site Inspection:
There was foaming throughout the plant, though none was visible in the chlorine contact chamber or in the
effluent. Mr. Branch believed the foam was due to an overabundance of filamentous bacteria in the activated
sludge. He had ordered a de -foaming agent as well as chemicals for pH adjustment, and plans to use both to
help restore balance to the plant and, thereby stop the excessive foaming and improve settleability.

Aside from the foam, the plant appeared to be operating sufficiently. One of the refrigerated samplers had a
door that would not stay shut, making it difficult to maintain the proper storage temperature. Mr. Branch said
there were already plans in place to replace the refrigerator.
Mr: Branch continues to maintain all records in excellent order and operates the plant to its maximum
capability. Should you have any questions please contact Ms. Jenifer Carter in our Winston-Salem Regional
Office at [phone].

Subject: Request for leniency NOV-2012-LV-0433 NPDES Permit No. NCO026689
Dear Mr. Basinger:
We respectfully request leniency in regards to NOV-2012-LV-0433 received in this office August 24,
2012. We report that the week that caused us to exceed our weekly and subsequently the monthly limit
was an isolated instance. If you would review the previous month and the following weeks and month
from the week in question, you will see that we have had no other issues with BOD.
We have by all accounts rectified this issue (BOD and NH3(n)) by reducing our MLSS to approximately
3000 mg/L and we have since began nitrifying. We increased our land application events until we
obtained the desired Sludge Age and MCRT.
Historically, August has been the month that we struggled with compliance issues, but since these
changes were made in April we have had no problems at all.
Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Dear Mr. Isenhour:
The Division of Water Quality's Winston-Salem Regional Office has received your submittal of the
Flow Tracking/Acceptance for Sewer Extension Permit Applications (FTSE 10/07) for 2009. This
report was found to be complete and it indicated your total actual plus obligated flows to be 53.2%
of the permitted flow for your WWTP. Since your facility has less that 60% of its permitted flow
committed, you will only need to submit the annual update to this office by January 15, 2010. When
the total reaches 60% you will need to submit semi-annual updates.
This correspondence removes the General Moratorium as noted in our letter of May 12, 2009.
Should you have any additional questions, please contact Steve Mauney at [phone] or
another member of my staff at [phone].

House Bill 1160, the Clean Water Act of 1999, was ratified by the North Carolina General
Assembly on July 20th, 1999 and signed into law by the Governor on July 21, 1999. This
legislation requires that the owner or operator of any wastewater treatment works or
wastewater collection system that treats or collects primarily domestic or municipal wastes
provide an annual report to its users or customers and to the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (NCDENR) that summarizes the treatment works' or collection system's
performance over a 12 month period. The law states the report shall summarize the
performance of the treatment works or collection system and state the extent to which any
terms of its permit, federal laws, or any State laws, regulations or rules related to the
protection of water quality have been violated.
The following personnel are recognized by the State of North Carolina as The Town of Denton
Operators in Responsible Charge (ORC) and Back-up'Operators in Responsible Charge (Back-

Collection System
The sewage collection system of the Town of Denton has approximately 20 miles of pipe with
lines sized from 6 inch to 10 inch in diameter. There are 6 sewer lift stations located in and
around town to convey the wastewater from our customers to the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The sewer collection system is subject to regular inspection by the Division of Water Quality a
branch of the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources. The
collection system was last inspected in October 2011. The collection system received a Notice
of Violation for inadequate line cleaning. The law requires 10% of all sewer lines, older than 5
years old, be cleaned annually. This equates to 1.13 miles of sewer line. 0.86 miles of line
were documented as being cleaned for 2010. Upon receiving the Notice of Violation, we have
been more vigilant in documenting our preventative cleaning operations.

Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)
The wastewater treatment facility operates under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES), an EPA mandated requirement for all wastewater treatment facilities nation-
wide. This permit includes monitoring requirements and discharge limits, some of which vary
with seasons and have different maximums for daily, weekly and monthly averages. All limits
are prescribed to protect the stream and down -stream users of the water. During the reporting
year, January 1, 2012 - December 31, 2012, the Town of Denton treated 147 million gallons of
wastewater. The previous year, we treated 146 million gallons. The WWTP is inspected
regularly by the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality to ensure
compliance with Federal and State regulations. The WWTP was last inspected in April 2011.
The inspection showed no violations.

The Town of Denton WWTP is located on Councill Access Road. It is an extended aeration
biological process treatment plant with a permitted flow of 800,000 gallons per day. The
treatment plant, at its current location was completed in 1984 with an expansion in 2000. In
2012, the WWTP averaged 402,000 gallons per day. After solids removal and the biological
treatment has occurred the water is disinfected with chlorine gas and subsequently de -
chlorinated with Sulfur Dioxide. The outgoing water (effluent) is monitored and analyzed for
some 17 permitted characteristics weekly and monthly. Annually, the wastewater is tested for
an additional - 100 parameters. 6 of these analytes are tested in-house at the WWTP field
parameter laboratory. The parameters include; Flow, Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature, pH,
Conductivity and Ultra Low Range Chlorine Residual. Because aquatic life is more sensitive

than humans to these materials, some of these parameter limits are lower than drinking water
standards. The permits are complex and can be viewed upon request.
Environmental Programs and Services
As part of our commitment to support environmental awareness and promote a better
understanding of our community's environmental role, Denton has offered tours of the WWTP
and annually visits the local elementary school to discuss waste treatment, water conservation
and residential grease management with their 5th Grade classes. This is when the topics of
water reclamation and water conservation enter their curriculum. We have also utilized the
Town's annual street festival by setting up a booth to spread the word about Fat's Oil and
Grease management.
Prohibited pollutants or liquids include:
• Pollutants which create a fire or explosive hazard q�
• Petroleum based products
• Any wastewater having a pH of less than 5.0 or greater
than 9.5. .
• Storm water, surface water, ground water, roof run-off, or
swimming pool drainage. u.
• Fats, Oils and Greases (FOG)
• Medical wastes (i.e. needles, glass fragments, razors and
expired and/or unused prescriptions/medications)`
• Any wastes containing detergents or other substances
which may cause excessive foaming in the POTW.
• Solid or viscous substances in amounts which will cause
obstruction in the flow in the POTW resulting in the sewer line inundated with grease
interference but in no case solids larger than one half
inch(1/2") in any dimension.
• Any wastewater containing pollutants, including oxygen -demanding pollutants, (BOD
etc.) in sufficient quantity, either singly or by interaction with other pollutants, to cause
interference with the POTW.
• Any wastewater having a temperature greater than 150' F (66°C) or which will inhibit
biological activity in the POTW, but in no case wastewater which causes the
temperature at the introduction into the WWTP to exceed 104' F (40°C)
Fats, Oils, and Grease (FOG
Grease is a real "pain in the drain" because it's a major cause of
problems we find in sewer lines.
Blockages occur when grease (things like oil, butter, margarine,
shortening, pan drippings, and sauces) is poured down the drain.
Grease can clog sewer lines. Clogged sewer lines lead to sewer
spills, which are messy, bad for the environment, and can be ,
expensive. Town of Denton does everything it can to prevent sewer _
spills, but we can't do it alone. We need your help!"
The best way you can prevent sewer spills is to never pour grease
down the drain. Instead, pour it into a used soup can, place in freezer to harden, and throw it
away in the trash.
Don't believe the old saying (1) its okay to pour grease down the drain as long as you run

water at the same time, or (2) its perfectly fine to dump grease if you use your garbage
disposal to break it up. These are myths! It's never okay to pour any type of grease down the
drain. Here are some more ways to "Cease the Grease"-
• Wipe or scrape your dishes before washing them
• Remove excess oil from pots and pans with a paper towel and throw it the trash can.
• Use strainers in sink drains to collect food scraps and throw away the scraps in the
trash.
Thank you for your help, and please spread the word about how important it is to "cease the
grease". Together, we can protect our sewer system and the environment. For more
information, please visit our web site www.TownOfDenton.com or call 859-4460.
If you have questions or comments about this report you may direct them to Mr. Troy Branch,
POTW ORC at 859-4460 or you are invited to attend the Board of Commissioners meeting held
the first and third Mondays monthly at Town Hall at 201 West Salisbury Street.

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Town of Denton WWTP
NPDES Permit #NC0026689

Dear Mr. Morris:
Resources
Dee Freeman
Secretary
A compliance Evaluation Inspection was performed at the Town of Denton's WWTP on April 7, 2011 by
Jenifer Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office. Mr. Troy Branch, 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.
A review of self -monitoring data for the period of January through December 2010 revealed several
Biochemical Oxygen Demand Limits violations. All have been addressed through the Division's regular
monthly enforcement program.
Problems noted during the last inspection have been addressed as follows:
• The generator was fixed by replacing the automatic transfer switch
• The helisieve was repaired
• A finer bar screen was installed to protect equipment when the helisieve is under repair or
maintenance.
• The leaking weir in clarifier #3 was repaired
• Sludge was contained to the sludge drying beds and the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan updated
accordingly.
• Sludge storage capacity may continue to be a problem, though violations seem to have lessened for
the time being. That being said, related violations do seem to occur most often during the heat of the
summer. It was noted by Mr. Branch that ideas for increasing sludge storage capacity are currently
being discussed, including modifying existing unused portions of the plant.

NPDES No. NCO026689
Collection System Permit No. WQCS00223
Land Application Permit No. WQ0016966
336/859-4460
Created March 2012
Facility: Town of Denton Publically Owned Treatment Works (POTW)
Responsible Entity: Town of Denton
Town Manager: Genie Russell
Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC): Troy Branch
The Clean Water Act of 1999 requires that the owner or operator of any wastewater treatment works or
wastewater collection system that treats or collects primarily domestic or municipal waste must provide an
annual report that summarizes the treatment works or collection system's performance over a 12 month
period to its users or customers and to the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
The report must summarize the performance of the treatment works or collection system and define the
extent to which any terms of its permit, federal laws, or state laws related to the protection of water quality
may have been violated.
This report covers the calendar year from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2011.
Town of Denton Wastewater Treatment Plant (W WIT), located on Councill access Road, is a 0.8 MGD
(millions of gallons per day) activated sludge process plant. The WWTP accepts and treats wastewater from
residents and businesses (commercial and industrial) in Denton, as well as pump and haul septic tank haulers
that have been permitted for discharge.
In 2011 our W VVTP treated 146 million gallons of wastewater en lieu of 145 million gallons in 2010.
There are six (06) wastewater lift stations in and around Denton that pump wastewater from you, the
customer, to the W X71P. For those lines in our collection system that are gravity, Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC),
Vitrified Clay (VC) and Ductile Iron pipes are used. For those lines that are forced, Cast Iron and PVC
pipes are used.
The wastewater treatment plant uses the following equipment to treat and disinfect the waste stream.
• Helisieve (grit and solids removal)
• Four Influent Centrifugal Pumps
• Oxidation Ditches (biological process)
• Secondary Clarifiers (solids separation)
• Tertiary Treatment Sand Filters (fine particulate removal)
• Chlorine Contact Chamber (disinfection)
• Sulfur Dioxide (dechlorination)
• Aerobic Digesters for Bio-solids treatment

The Denton WWTP discharges the treated wastewater (effluent) into Lick Creek, which is a part of the
Yadkin-PeeDee River basin.
The by-product of the treatment process, known as "bio-solids" are land applied due to their high
concentrations of phosphorus and nitrogen.
The facilities effluent average flow was 0.405 MGD or 405,000 gallons per day for calendar year 2011.
The effluent is monitored and analyzed for 17 permitted characteristics. Six of these analytes are tested `in
house' at the WWTP laboratory. These parameters include; Flow, Dissolved Oxygen, pH, Conductivity,
Ultra Low Range Chlorine Residual, and Temperature. A full list of parameters is available through town
hall or the WWTP upon requests.
Definitions and Abbreviations
Aeration: The mixing or turbulent exposure of water to air and oxygen to dissipate volatile contaminants
and other pollutants into the air
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) - The amount of oxygen (measured in mg/L) that is required for the
decomposition of organic matter by single -cell organisms, under test conditions. It is used to measure the
amount of organic pollution in wastewater.
Collection System —A system of pipes and pumps that gathers used water from homes and businesses and
conveys it to a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP).
Effluent— Wastewater or other liquid, partially or completely treated, flowing from a reservoir, basin,
treatment process or treatment plant.
Fecal Coliform— The presence of coliform bacteria is an indication of possible pathogenic bacteria
contamination. The human intestinal tract is one of main habitats of coliform bacteria. The bacteria may
also be found in the intestinal tract of warm-blooded animals, in plants, soil, air and the aquatic
environment.
Force Main— A pipe that carries wastewater under pressure from the discharge side of a pump to a point of
gravity flow.
Gravity Sewer— A pipe containing wastewater that flows freely without the aid of mechanical pumping
equipment.
GPD d— Gallons Per Day
Inflow/Infiltration— The unintentional addition of ground water or surface water entering a sewer collection
system. Line breaks, roots, broken clean -outs are common causes of I/I.
Lift Station— A wastewater pumping station that lifts wastewater to a higher elevation when the continuation
of the sewer at reasonable slopes would involve excessive trench depths. Also, an installation of pumps that
raise wastewater from areas too low to drain into available sewers.
MGD— Million of Gallons per Day
Mg/--L— milligrams per liter
NOV— Notice of Violation
NPDES— National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System
POTW—Publicly Owned Treatment Works —Includes the WWTP, Lift Stations and Gravity Sewers as well
as Forced Mains

Town of Denton public works department maintains and operates its Publicly Owned Treatment Works
(POTW). The collection system includes gravity sewers, force mains, manholes, pumping equipment
and other facilities that collect and convey the water to the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP).
The Town of Denton collection system includes approximately 20 miles of pipe and 6 sewer lift stations.
The Town of Denton WWTP received three (03) NOV's during calendar year 2011.
In March 2011 the WWTP exceeded the weekly geometric mean for Fecal Coliform. No fines or
penalties were levied.

In ly 2011 the WWTP exceeded the weekly and monthly concentration limits for BOD and the
frequency for analyzing Conductivity and pH were not met. A fine was issued in the amount of
$1,184.13, and it was pLd n request for remissign was denied. k6-1
'�o [
t_'b
ry
In November 2011 the P received an NOV for reporting two (02) values of Conductivity and pH
en lieu of the required three (03) weekly analyses.
The Town of Denton Collection System experienced one (01) Sanitary Sewer Overflow during calendar
year 2011.
It occurred March 30a' and was due to an exorbitant amount of rain over a 24 hour period. Two
3 manholes were affected, both located on Councill Access Road, losing approximately 18,500 gallons.
The NC Department of Natural Resources Winston Salem Regional Office was notified, a report was
filed, and clean-up was conducted. NOV was issued by the NCDENR Division of Water Quality, but no
fine was levied.
\V �J Inspections
V c.�
\\\ The Town of Denton WWTP was inspected by personnel from the NC DENR Division of Water Quality
Winston-Salem Regional Office on April 7, 2012. No Violations were noted.
The Town of Denton Sewer Collection System was inspected by personnel from NC DENR Division of
Water Quality Winston-Salem Regional Office on October 5, 2011. The only item noted during the
inspection was that we did not meet the required footage of sewer line cleaned during calendar year
2010. The State recognized that at the end of 2010 we maintained approximately 11.3 miles of sewer
line that was older than 5 years old. We are required to clean greater than 10% annually. We had it
documented that we had cleaned 0.75 miles whereas there should have been 1.13 miles cleaned. We felt,
and expressed to the auditor, that we had indeed exceeded this amount but our documentation showed
otherwise. We have improved our documentation of line cleaning and repair.

Prohibited pollutants or liquids include:
• Pollutants which create a fire or explosive hazard
• Petroleum based products
• Any wastewater having a pH of less than 5.0 or greater than 9.5.
• Storm water, surface water, ground water, roof run-off, or swimming
pool drainage.
• Fats, Oils and Greases (FOG)
• Medical wastes (i.e. needles, glass fragments, razors and expired
and/or unused prescriptions/medications)
• Any wastes containing detergents or other substances which may
cause excessive foaming in the POTW.
• Solid or viscous substances in amounts which will cause obstruction Sewer line inundated with grease
in the flow in the POTW resulting in the interference but in no case
solids larger than one half inch(1/2'� in any dimension.
• Any wastewater containing pollutants, including oxygen -demanding pollutants, (BOD etc) in sufficient
quantity, either singly or by interaction with other pollutants, to cause interference with the POTW.
• Any wastewater having a temperature greater than 150' F (66°C) or which will inhibit biological activity
in the POTW, but in no case wastewater which causes the temperature at the introduction into the
WWTP to exceed 104' F (40°C)
Fats. Oils. and Grease (FOG
Grease is a real "pain in the drain" because it's a major cause of problems we
find in sewer lines.
Blockages occur when grease (things like oil, butter, margarine, shortening, M-rur
pan drippings, and sauces) is poured down the drain. Grease can clog sewer THE
lines. Clogged sewer lines lead to sewer spills, which are messy, bad for the
environment, and can be expensive. Town of Denton does everything it can to
prevent sewer spills, but we can't do it alone. We need your help!
The best way you can prevent sewer spills is to never pour grease down the -- ---
drain. Instead, pour it into a used soup can, place in freezer to harden, and
throw it away in the trash.
Don't believe the old saying (1) it's okay to pour grease down the drain as long as you run water at the same
time, or (2) it's perfectly fine to dump grease if you use your garbage disposal to break it up. These are
myths! It's never okay to pour any type of grease dawn the drain. Here are some more ways to "Cease the
Grease"-
• Wipe or scrape your dishes before washing them
• Remove excess oil from pots and pans with a paper towel and throw it the trash can.
• Use strainers in sink drains to collect food scraps and throw away the scraps in the trash.
Thank you for your help, and please spread the word about how important it is to "cease the grease".
Together, we can protect our sewer system and the environment. For more information, please visit our web
site www.townofdenton.com or call 859-4460.
If you have questions or comments about this report you may direct them to Mr. Troy Branch, POTW ORC
at 859-4460 or you are invited to attend the Board of Commissioners meeting held the first and third
Mondays monthly at Town Hall at 201 West Salisbury Street.

Dee Freeman
Secretary
This is to inform you that a review of your toxicity self -monitoring report form for the month of November 2010
indicates a violation of the toxicity limitation specified in your NPDES Permit. You should undertake necessary actions to
eliminate or reduce effluent toxicity to acceptable levels.
In addition, this correspondence contains important information on the Division's Copper and Zinc Action Level
Policy which is triggered by two or more toxicity limit violations that occur during the toxicity testing calendar quarter
specified by the toxicity testing special condition of your NPDES Permit. Attachments addressing policy implementation
and a copy of the Division's Toxicity Reduction Guidance have been included with this Notice of Violation.
You should initiate follow-up toxicity testing upon a single WET test failure which occurs during the toxicity
testing calendar quarter.
Your facility is currently monitoring for copper and/or zinc and the data indicate that the levels of copper/zinc in
your effluent have the potential to cause an exceedance of the NC water quality action level for this (these) parameter(s) in
your receiving stream during low stream flow conditions. The policy states that whenever a facility experiences two or
more toxicity limit violations during a toxicity testing calendar quarter, the NPDES Permit will be modified to include
numeric limits for copper and/or zinc UNLESS the permittee provides one or more of the following:

1. Instream measurements of dissolved metal during low flow conditions that demonstrate compliance with
the Action Level standard
2. A revision of the prospective permit limit using improved inputs that in concert with existing or
additional monitoring data demonstrates compliance with the Action Level standard
3. Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) results that definitively rule out copper and/or zinc as causes of
effluent toxicity
4. Demonstration by an alternative method approved by the Division and EPA that copper and/or zinc is not
the cause of toxicity
The Division has evaluated your copper and/or zinc monitoring data. The Division has also developed a
prospective NPDES permit limit based on your facility's instream waste concentration, the copper and/or zinc action level
criterion and a translator procedure. Based on this data your prospective copper permit limit is 13.7 µg/L and your
prospective zinc permit limit is 110.9 µg/L.
The permittee, upon experiencing two or more toxicity limit violations during a toxicity testing calendar
quarter must either provide DWQ with:
a) Written notification indicating acceptance of the prospective copper and/or zinc permit
limit. Notification is due within 30 days after the date of the second WET Notice of
Violation.
OR
b) Written notification indicating your choice of option(s) as noted on page one of this
correspondence. Notification is due within 30 days after the date of the second WET Notice of
Violation. DWQ approval of options 1-3 (previous page) is not necessary as the Division expects
work to rule out copper and/or zinc as causative effluent toxicants to begin immediately upon the
second WET permit limit violation.
Written notification (a or b above) shall be sent to:
NC Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
Aquatic Toxicology Unit
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1621
Please note that if you choose item b) above, you will be given nine months to submit documentation that
eliminates copper and/or zinc as causative effluent toxicants. Your final report should be comprehensive and include all
data used to support your conclusion(s). Should the data indicate copper and/or zinc as the source of effluent toxicity or if

the data are inconclusive as to copper and/or zinc's role as a toxicity source, then the NPDES Permit will be reopened and
the metal limits specified above will be applied to the permit. The report is due nine months after the date of the second
WET Notice of Violation.
Three copies of the final report shall be submitted to:
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
Aquatic Toxicology Unit
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
You should consider submitting the above correspondence certified mail.
Failure to notify DWQ of your acceptance of a copper and/or zinc limit, failure to notify DWQ of your option
selection or failure to make acceptable demonstration to DWQ that copper and/or zinc are not causative effluent toxicants
within the stated time frames will result in reopening of the NPDES Permit to include copper and/or zinc numeric
limitations, as appropriate.
If the effluent is toxic, then we expect work to commence immediately with toxic effluent samples. Failure to
initiate work with toxic effluent samples during the study period is unacceptable and will be considered a failure to make
acceptable demonstration as cited above. We recommend a minimum of three separate sampling events during the nine
month period to definitively rule out copper and/or zinc as causative effluent toxicants.
Please note that your actions to notify DWQ of prospective limit acceptance or to notify DWQ of plan option(s)
and subsequent submission of a plan are contingent upon two or more toxicity NPDES permit limit violations occurring
during a toxicity testing calendar quarter.
Also note that the WET limit will remain in your NPDES permit regardless of whether metals are the source of
effluent toxicity. The data resulting from your actions to disprove copper and/or zinc as sources of effluent toxicity will
determine whether NPDES Permit limits will be assigned for these parameters. You are responsible for initiating actions
to address these issues.
You may consider entering into a Special Order by Consent (SOC) with DWQ. A SOC provides regulatory relief
for specific NPDES permit limit violations and, if signed, will contain a requirement to conduct a Toxicity Reduction
Evaluation. The SOC will contain a compliance schedule, stipulated penalties for failing to meet milestone activity dates
and may contain upfront penalties to settle past permit limit violations.

Attachments: RepeatViolatorsWL 20100ct.xlsx
Denton: NCO026689: The WWTP has had BOD and TSS violations on a routine basis prior to 2010. The primary issue
was the solids handling capabilities (money$$) at the facility. Repeated and escalating penalties and some discussion
with management appears to have allowed substantial progress during the past 10 month. This will continue to be an
issue with Denton and other small municipalities and the solids inventory is critical to compliance. The ORCs are aware,
it's getting the town managers to appropriate sufficient funds for solids removal from the facilities. I believe the
appropriate actions have occurred for this facility to date.
Captain Stevens Seafood: NCO059218: This facility has a history of compliance problems. We have worked with the
owner over the past year to attempt to resolve the issues. This is a septic tank/sand filter system with the sand filter
underground. The sand was replaced in April of this year and the system converted from non operational siphons to a
pump delivery system. Unfortunately, when the owner's consultant replaced the sand he did not check out the piping
to ensure full and complete delivery to the bed. They may have to remove the sand and check out distribution to be
sure short-circuiting is not occurring as the next step. Plus, the system is very under -loaded. They are permitted for
2400 gpd and running in the range of 200-400 gpd. This could be starving the system. We have provide the owner small
treatment experts contacts to assist. We will continue to work with the owner. Very cooperative and very dependent on
the firm that manages the system for him. The very low volume should provide us some continued time to try to resolve
the issues as connection is not possibility.
Boomer/ Wilkes County Schools: NCO075515: The overall compliance of this system has improved over the past 12
months. This is a septic tank/surface sand -filter design. They are working with Bob DeWeese on treatment design
modifications. Possible issues are that the sand needs to be replaced and they may need to go to recirc sand filter to
attain continued compliance. There is some information that leads us to believe that the sand filter may be tainted with
some floor stripper releases that occurred a couple years back.
Elevating penalties may be the method to force County Management to take the next steps to attain constant
compliance. 308/309 letter approaches would be totally counterproductive. We need their resources targeted at the
plant not a copier.
Aqua North Bannertown: NCO088536: This is a green sand filter WTP. Previous violations for TSS and Chlorine. Facility
was late getting Dechlor constructed and this office proceeded with penalties to speed the compliance process. Dechlor
now installed and no violations since April 2010. No further actions required at this facility at this time.

Subject: NPDES Repeat Violators Watch List Oct2010
Timing: Need responses by COB Monday, November 291n
Background. The NPDES Repeat Violators Watch List, a management tool used for internal purposes only, identifies
Major and Minor NPDES wastewater facilities that have received either 5 civil penalty assessments or 10 NOVs within a
12-month period. In light of EPA's interest in what actions non -compliant major facilities are taking independently or
through DWQ requirements to evaluate and correct their problems, the Director has also shown interest in what the
program is doing to address repeat violators for all NPDES wastewater facilities. The objective of NPDES Repeat
Violators Watch List is to identify facilities in chronic noncompliance and to ensure repeat violators are addressed
appropriately and suitable measures are taken timely to resolve the noncompliance (e.g., show cause meetings,
technical assistance, SOC, etc.).
Review Period ending June 30, 2010. There are 27 wastewater facilities listed (23 Minors, 4 Majors) for having received
at least 5 penalty assessments during the review period; no facility met the 10 NOV threshold. In addition, 3 of the
Majors listed are also on EPA's Facilities Watch List for October 2010. Each region should review the list, indicate what
actions have been taken and/or will be taken to address the noncompliance, and provide comments to the appropriate
Regional Office Contact by COB Wednesday, November 24tn. Once comments have been received, the ROCs will add the
°regions' responses to the NPDES Repeat Violators Watch List, which is located on the NPDES Server/Repeat Violators
Watch List. I will need all responses added to the spreadsheet by COB Monday, November 29tn. Let me know if you
have any questions.

SUBJECT: Notice of Facility Status Change
NPDES Permit NCO026689
Denton WWTP
Davidson County
A recent internal review of the Division's facility classifications determined that the subject
municipal wastewater treatment plant is improperly classified as a Minor facility. The Denton
WWTP should be classified as a Major facility, per the definition for Major/Minor facilities found in
the General Statute:
§ 143-215.31). Fee schedule for water quality permits.
(a) Annual fees for discharge and nondischarge permits under G.S. 143-215.1. —
(1) Major Individual NPDES Permits. — The annual fee for an individual permit for a point source
discharge of 1,000,000 or more gallons per day, a publicly owned treatment works (POTW)
that administers a POTW pretreatment program, as defined in 40 Code of Federal Regulations
§ 403.3 (1 July 1996 Edition), or an industrial waste treatment works that has a high toxic
pollutant potential is three thousand four hundred forty dollars ($3,440).
Beginning in 2011, you will be billed the permit fee for a Major NPDES permit for the subject
facility. If at any time your pretreatment program becomes inactive, your facility status will revert
to Minor.
If you have questions regarding preparation of the report, contact Mr. Tom Belnick at (919) 807-
6390 or via e-mail [[e-mail]].
Sincerely,
Coleen H. Sullins

The Clean Water Act of 1999 requires that the
owner or operator of any wastewater treatment
rn
co works or wastewater collection system that treats
��yI or collects primarily domestic or municipal waste
Cal 0 must provide an annual report that summarizes
C the treatment works or collection system's per -
CD
^ formance over a 12 month period to it's users or
® customers and to the Department of Environ-
mentand Natural Resources.
The report must summarize the performance of
the treatment works or collection system and de-
fine the extent to which any terms of it's permit,
federal laws, or state laws related to the protection
of water quality may have been violated.
This report covers the calendar year from January
1, 2009 to December 31, 2009.
System Description
The Town of Denton Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP), located on Councill access Road, is a
0.8 MGD (millions of gallons per day) activated sludge process plant. The WWTP accepts and
treats wastewater from residents and businesses (commercial and industrial) in Denton, as well as
pump and haul septic tank haulers that have been permitted for discharge.
In 2009 our WWTP treated 162 million gallons of wastewater en lieu of 145 million gallons in
2008.
There are six (06) wastewater lift stations in and around Denton that pump wastewater from you;
the customer, to the WWTP. For those lines in our collection system that are gravity, Polyvinyl
Chloride (PVC), Vitrified Clay (VC) and Ductile Iron pipes are used. For those lines that are
forced, Cast Iron and PVC pipes are used.
The treatment facility uses the following equipment to treat and disinfect the waste stream.
Helisieve (grit and solids removal)
Four Influent Centrifugal Pumps
Oxidation Ditches (biological process)
Secondary Clarifiers (solids separation)
Tertiary Treatment Sand Filters (fine particulate removal)
Chlorine Contact Chamber (disinfection)
Sulfur Dioxide (dechlorination)
Aerobic Digesters for Bio-solids treatment

(effluent) into Lick Creek, which is apart of the Yadkin-
PeeDee River basin. The by-product of the treatment process, known as "bio-solids" are land ap-
plied due to their high concentrations of phosphorus and nitrogen. The facilities effluent average
flow was 0.444 MGD or 444,000 gallons per day for calendar year 2009.
The effluent is monitored and analyzed for 17 permitted characteristics. Six of these analytes are
tested in house at the WWTP laboratory. These parameters include; Flow, Dissolved Oxygen, pH,
Conductivity, Ultra Low Range Chlorine Residual, and Temperature.

Definitions and Abbreviations
Collection Sys` tern —A system of pipes and
pumps that gathers used water from homes and
businesses and conveys it to a wastewater treat-
ment plant (WWTP).
Effluent— Wastewater or other liquid, partially or
completely treated, flowing from a reservoir,
basin, treatment process or treatment plant.
Fecal Coliform— The presence of coliform bacte-
ria is an indication of possible pathogenic bacte-
ria contamination. The human intestinal tract is
one of main habitats of coliform bacteria. The
bacteria may also be found in the intestinal tract
of warm-blooded animals, in plants, soil, air and
the aquatic environment.
Force Main— A pipe that carries wastewater un-
der pressure from the discharge side of a pump
to a point of gravity flow.
Gravity Sewer— A pipe containing wastewater
that flows freely without the aid of mechanical
pumping equipment.

Performance Overview
Town of Denton public works department main-
tains and operates its Publicly Owned Treatment
Works (POTW). Sometimes ground water, surface
water and storm water may be present also, espe-
cially during rain events. The collection system
includes gravity sewers, force mains, manholes,
pumping equipment and other facilities that col-
lect and convey the water to the wastewater treat-
ment plant (WWTP).
The Town of Denton collection system includes
approximately 20 miles of pipe and 6 sewer lift
stations.
Denton experienced four collection system sani-
tary sewer overflows during 2009.
The first occurred January 6, 2009 when an esti-
mated 38,000 gallons spilled from manholes 3-3
and 3-4 located on Council Access Road into
Bully Boy Creek. The spill was attributed to heavy
rains and I/I. Appropriate agencies were notified.
A NOV was issued to Denton. No fines were
assessed.
The second SSO occurred March 1, 2009 when an
estimated 33,000 gallons entered Bully Boy Creek -
from manholes 3-3 & 3-4 on Council Access
Road. The spill occurred due to heavy rains and I/
I. Appropriate agencies were notified. A NOV was
issued to Denton. No fines were assessed..
The third SSO occurred June 5, 2009 when an
estimated 13,000 gallons entered Bully Boy Creek
from manholes 3-3 &3-4 on Council Access Road.
The spill occurred due to severe weather and I/I.
The appropriate agencies were notified. A NOV
was issued. No fines were assessed.
The forth occurred on November 11, 2009 when
an estimated 86,000 gallons overflowed from man-
holes 373 & 3-4 on Council Access Road. The
appropriate agencies were notified. A NOV was
issued. No fines have been assessed.
Bully Boy Creek is a seasonal stream as well as the
receiving ditch for the town's storm sewers.
During the calendar year the wastewater treatment
plant received NOV's to it's NPDES permit.
in Apru 2009 the Town was issued an NOV for
exceeding the monthly limits of BOD and NH3
(N) as well as Fecal Coliform weekly limit. No fine
was received.
In May 2009 the Town received an NOV for ex-
ceeding weekly and monthly limits for BOD and
NH3(N).A fine of $4,003.67 was issued. The
Town requested remission of the fine due to
budget restraints.
In June 2009 the Town received an NOV for ex-
ceeding weekly and monthly limits for BOD and
NH3(N) and Fecal Coliform weekly limit. A fine
of $4228.00 was issued. The Town requested re-
mission of the imposed fine.
In July 2009 the Town received a NOV and fine
of $3478.00 for exceeding weekly and monthly
Emits of BOD and NH3(N). The Town requested
remission of the imposed fine.
In August 2009 the Town received a NOV and
fine of $3,478.00 for exceeding monthly and
weekly limits of BOD, NH3(3) and TSS. Remis-
sion of the fine was requested and the fine was
reduced to $1,103.00
In September and October 2009 the Town ex-
ceeded weekly and monthly limits of BOD and
NH3(N). A NOV was issued and a fine of
$1,978.00 was issued for September and $1,040.50
was issued for October 2009. Request for remis-
sion has been sent to the State for the above fines
but no response has been received as of the date
of this brochure.
In November the Town returned to full compli-
ance. The problems the WWTP were experiencing
were related to a build-up of solids within the
wastes stream of the treatment facility. The town
increased funding to the land application of bio-
solids and the situation has been rectified.
Under State and Federal laws, no user shall con-
tribute or cause to be contributed into the POTW,
any pollutant or wastewater which causes interfer-
ence or pass through. These prohibitions apply to

1.0 Proposed Changes Incorporated into Permit Renewal
Add daily maximum mercury limit of 12 ng/1(0.012 ug/1) with 2/month monitoring
frequency, based on reasonable potential to cause an exceedance of the water quality standard
Remove weekly average and daily maximum nickel limits because of no reasonable potential
to cause an exceedance of the water quality standard
Modification and addition of wastewater treatment components added to the supplement to

2.0 Summary
The Town of Denton currently has a design capacity of 0.8 MGD and continues its
discharge to Lick Creek. The facility has tertiary limits of 5/2/6 (summer) and 10/4/6 (winter)
with monitoring for fecal coliform, TRC, temperature, TN and TP, mercury, copper, nickel and
zinc. The Denton WWTP discharges into Lick Creek, which is listed on the 2006 303d list with
impairment for aquatic life with low dissolved oxygen. Potential sources are agriculture and
other unknown sources. The 2008 Yadkin Basinwide Plan notes that Lick Creek is impaired for
DO and impacted by nutrient inputs from the upstream NPDES WWTP.
Denton WWTP has two non -categorical SIUs. Century Hosing (0.0243 MGD) and
Surratt Hosiery Mills (.0043 MGD). It is recommended that the modified pretreatment program
with Short Term Monitoring Plan be continued during the next permitting cycle.

3.0 Compliance Summary
Correspondence File Review/Compliance History
The Denton WWTP appears to have had consistent problems in the last three years in
meeting BOD5, TRC, NH3, fecal coliform and chronic toxicity limits. In the renewal application,
the facility asked for some relaxation of the stringent BOD5 and NH3 limits. There have been
several permit violations and NOVs issued by DWQ. The facility has sought technical assistance
from DWQ (June 2009) and the NC Rural Water Association (July 2008) to help with trying to
correct treatment problems. Site visits and written recommendations have been given to the
facility to help bring them in compliance. It appears that during the hottest summer months,
compliance with BOD5 and NH3 are the most problematic. There is no mechanism to reduce the
facility's permit limits for BOD5 and NH3 and with the stream listed as impaired on the 303d list,
making discharge limits less stringent is not recommended.
See attached reported on limits and monitoring violations.
The Town of Denton is a member of the Yadkin Pee Dee monitoring coalition, so instream
requirements have been waived. At this time, however, there is no downstream monitoring
station in the vicinity of the outfall.
RPA Analysis
A RPA was conducted for existing limited/ monitored metals: mercury, nickel, copper
and zinc. Data from 2007 through May 2009 was input into the RPA and evaluated to determine
whether monitoring or limited were needed.
Copper and zinc- both parameters have NC action level standards that normally are not
limited unless they are shown to be causative of toxicity test failures. The RPA showed that both
parameters had reasonable potential to exceed the state action levels instream. However because
there are no ongoing toxicity test problems, will recommend that monthly monitoring for both
copper and zinc continue in the permit.
Mercury - there was detection in 23 of 24 samples submitted. The maximum predicted
concentration was greater than the allowable concentration and therefore showed reasonable
potential to exceed the water quality standard instream. A limit of 0.012 ug/1 or 12 ng/1 will be
recommended to be put in the permit. This same parameter was deleted during the last permit
renewal however since January 2007, there have been three submitted data values that have been
greater than 12 ng/1. Based on this data, the facility's discharge does not show reasonable
potential to exceed mercury water quality standards. The limit will be removed and monitoring
reduced from 2/month to monthly.
Nickel - only 1 of 56 samples showed nickel levels above the detection limit. The
maximum predicted concentration was less than the allowable concentration. There was no
reasonable potential shown to exceed the water quality standard. It is recommended that the
nickel limit be dropped from the permit and that nickel continue to be monitored in the Denton
pretreatment program.
Additional data review
Facility did run PPAs for the renewal application. Most data was below detection however, there
were detected hits of chloroform and dichlorobromomethane. Will not recommend any
monitoring for these parameters. They will be sampled in the next four PPAs.

WET Test Results
Self monitoring summary from January 2005 through April 2009 was reviewed. The
most recently submitted DMR (May 2009) indicated that Denton had failed its chronic tox test.
The facility has passed 16 of 19 WET tests within the past 5 years. The failures were in November
2006, February 2007 and May 2009. The cause for these failures has not yet been determined. It
is recommended that the chronic ceriodaphnia toxicity test at 90% be renewed for this permit
cycle. .

Denton W WTP
Davidson County
Dear Mr. Isenhour:
This is to inform you that a review of your toxicity self -monitoring report form for the month of May 2009
indicates a violation of the toxicity limitation specified in your NPDES Permit. You should undertake necessary actions to
eliminate or reduce effluent toxicity to acceptable levels.
In addition, this correspondence contains important information on the Division's Copper and Zinc Action Level
Policy which is triggered by two or more toxicity limit violations that occur during the toxicity testing calendar quarter
specified by the toxicity testing special condition of your NPDES Permit. Attachments addressing policy implementation
and a copy of the Division's Toxicity Reduction Guidance have been included with this Notice of Violation.
You should initiate follow-up toxicity testing upon a single WET test failure which occurs during the toxicity
testing calendar quarter.
Your facility is currently monitoring for copper and/or zinc and the data indicate that the levels of copper/zinc in
your effluent have the potential to cause an exceedance of the NC water quality action level for this (these) parameter(s) in
your receiving stream during low stream flow conditions. The policy states that whenever a facility experiences two or
more toxicity limit violations during a toxicity testing calendar quarter, the NPDES Permit will be modified to include
numeric limits for copper and/or zinc UNLESS the permittee provides one or more of the following:

1. Instream measurements of dissolved metal during low flow conditions that demonstrate compliance with
the Action Level standard
2. A revision of the prospective permit limit using improved inputs that in concert with existing or
additional monitoring data demonstrates compliance with the Action Level standard
3. Toxicity Identification Evaluation (TIE) results that definitively rule out copper and/or zinc as causes of
effluent toxicity
4. Demonstration by an alternative method approved by the Division and EPA that copper and/or zinc is not
the cause of toxicity
The Division has evaluated your copper and/or zinc monitoring data. The Division has also developed a
prospective NPDES permit limit based on your facility's instream waste concentration, the copper and/or zinc action level
criterion and a translator procedure. Based on this data your prospective copper permit limit is 13.7 µg/L and your
prospective zinc permit limit is 111.0 jig/L.
The permittee, upon experiencing two or more toxicity limit violations during a toxicity testing calendar
quarter must either provide DWQ with:
a) Written notification indicating acceptance of the prospective copper and/or zinc permit
limit. Notification is due within 30 days after the date of the second WET Notice of
Violation.
OR
b) Written notification indicating your choice of option(s) as noted on page one of this
correspondence. Notification is due within 30 days after the date of the second WET Notice of
Violation. DWQ approval of options 1-3 (previous page) is not necessary as the Division expects
work to rule out copper and/or zinc as causative effluent toxicants to begin immediately upon the
second WET permit limit violation.
Written notification (a or b above) shall be sent to:

the data are inconclusive as to copper and/or zinc's role as a toxicity source, then the NPDES Permit will be reopened and
the metal limits specified above will be applied to the permit. The report is due nine months after the date of the second
WET Notice of Violation.
Three copies of the final report shall be submitted to:
North Carolina Division of Water Quality
Environmental Sciences Section
Aquatic Toxicology Unit
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
You should consider submitting the above correspondence certified mail.
Failure to notify DWQ of your acceptance of a copper and/or zinc limit, failure to notify DWQ of your option
selection or failure to make acceptable demonstration to DWQ that copper and/or zinc are not causative effluent toxicants
within the stated time frames will result in reopening of the NPDES Permit to include copper and/or zinc numeric
limitations, as appropriate.
If the effluent is toxic, then we expect work to commence immediately with toxic effluent samples. Failure to
initiate work with toxic effluent samples during the study period is unacceptable and will be considered a failure to make
acceptable demonstration as cited above. We recommend a minimum of three separate sampling events during the nine
month period to definitively rule out copper and/or zinc as causative effluent toxicants.
Please note that your actions to notify DWQ of prospective limit acceptance or to notify DWQ of plan option(s)
and subsequent submission of a plan are contingent upon two or more toxicity NPDES permit limit violations occurring
during a toxicity testing calendar quarter.
Also note that the WET limit will remain in your NPDES permit regardless of whether metals are the source of
effluent toxicity. The data resulting from your actions to disprove copper and/or zinc as sources of effluent toxicity will
determine whether NPDES Permit limits will be assigned for these parameters. You are responsible for initiating actions
to address these issues.
You may consider entering into a Special Order by Consent (SOC) with DWQ. A SOC provides regulatory relief
for specific NPDES permit limit violations and, if signed, will contain a requirement to conduct a Toxicity Reduction
Evaluation. The SOC will contain a compliance schedule, stipulated penalties for failing to meet milestone activity dates
and may contain upfront penalties to settle past permit limit violations.

SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Town of Denton WWTP
NPDES Permit #NC0026689
Davidson County
Dear Mr. Isenhour:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
A compliance Evaluation Inspection was performed at the Town of Denton's WWTP on November 19,
2009 by Jenifer Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office. Mr. Troy Branch, 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.
A review of self -monitoring data for the period of January 2008 through September 2009 revealed
numerous BOD, Ammonia and Fecal Coliform Limits violations. All have been, or are being addressed
through the Division's regular monthly enforcement program.
Limited sludge storage capacity appears to be a major cause for the violations, as well as seasonal
variations. Since the higher winter limits have come into effect for the year, violations have decreased.
This does not mean, however, that the cause(s) of the violations have disappeared. During a meeting with
you after the inspection, you promised to submit an outline of plans for improvements, including funding
efforts, which would address the ongoing violations. Please submit a detailed summary of where the
City's efforts stand by January 31, 2010.
Problems noted during the inspection included a leaking weir gasket in clarifier #3, and a malfunctioning
helisieve. Mr. Branch had already made arrangements for repairs/adjustments to these systems. During
the inspection, a coarse bar screen was being used, and plans were in place to install a fine screen the
following week to better protect downstream equipment. A new heater was in hand to replace a failing
heater for the generator, though it had not been installed yet. This may be why the generator could not be
started during the inspection.
Mr. Branch explained that evidence of overflow at the splitter box between the oxidation ditch and
secondary clarifiers was a result of years worth of solids build-up plugging the pipes. Upon discovery

recently, each side was purged of the slugs that had formed, and it was during this effort that some of the
wastewater was lost. It is the first such occurrence of such blockage that Mr. Branch was aware of.
Mr. Branch maintains all records in excellent order and operates the plant in as efficient a manner as may
be possible. Should you have any questions please contact Ms. Jenifer Carter in our Winston-Salem
Regional Office at [phone].

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The heliesieve was out of order during the inspection. So far, replacement parts have not been able to be
located. Short-term plans are to install a fine bar screen to better protect downstream equipment than the
course sreen currently being used.
The back-up generator was not able to be started during the inspection. Mr. Branch thought this was due to
a malfunctioning heater, for which parts had already been ordered and received. Plans were in place
already to make the necessary repairs.
Evidence of spillover from the splitter box between the oxidation ditches and secondary clarifiers was
apparently due to recent work to clear the pipes of blockage from years of build-up in the lines.
During visit, there was a pile of dried sludge next to the beds in preparation for being picked up for land
app. Mr. Branch said there was usually silt fencing around the piles, but that it had been removed to enable
access by the trucks. The silt fencing or some type of berm needs to be placed around the piles to prevent
stormwater from washing sludge off site, especially if rain is in the forecast. This needs to be addressed in
the Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan for the new stormwater permit recently obtained by the WWTP.
Limited sludge storage capacity appears to be a major cause for frequent and ongoing permit limits
violations, as well as seasonal variations. Since the higher winter limits have come into effect for the year,
violations have decreased. This does not mean, however, that the cause(s) of the violations have
disappeared. During a meeting after the site inspection, Mr. Isenhour promised to submit an outline of plans
for improvements, including funding efforts, which would address the ongoing violations.
A detailed summary of where the City's efforts stand must be submitted by January 31, 2010

This laboratory was inspected to verify its compliance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H
.0800 for the analysis of environmental samples.
II. GENERAL COMMENTS:
The laboratory is spacious and well equipped. All facilities and instrumentation are well
maintained.
The laboratory was given copies of the Technical Assistance Documents for all field parameters
during the inspection.
III. FINDINGS, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
Dissolved Oxygen — Standard Methods, 18t' Edition, 4500 O G
A. Finding: The laboratory is not documenting each time the meter is being calibrated.
Requirement: The laboratory must document each time that a calibration is performed.
Depending upon the instrument used and type of calibration performed, calibration
documentation may be accomplished by recording elevation and temperature or
barometric pressure (in psi) or salinity or by simply recording a final reading (in mg/L) for
instruments that auto calibrate. Ref: Technical Assistance for Field Analysis of
Dissolved Oxygen.

Page 2
# 5455 Town of Denton WVVfP
Requirement: A record of instrument calibration where applicable, must be filed in an
orderly manner so as to be readily available for inspection upon request. Ref: 15A NCAC
2H .0805 (g) (2).
pH — Standard Methods, 18th Edition, 4500 H+ B
Temperature — Standard Methods, 18th Edition, 2550 B
Dissolved Oxygen — Standard Methods, 18th Edition, 4500 O G
Residual Chlorine — Standard Methods 18th Edition, 4500 Cl G
Conductivity_— Standard Methods, 18th Edition, 2510 B
B. Finding: Data on the benchsheets contained corrections either with scratch outs, write
overs, or the use of Wite-Out®.
Requirement: All documentation errors must be corrected by drawing a single line
through the error so that the original entry remains legible. Entries shall not be
obliterated by erasures or markings. Wite-Out®, correction tape or similar products
designed to obliterate documentation are not to be used. Write the correction adjacent to
the error. The correction must be initialed by the responsible individual and the date of
change documented. All data and log entries must be written in indelible ink. Pencil
entries are not acceptable. Ref: North Carolina Wastewater/Groundwater Laboratory
Certification (NC WW/GW LC) Policy.
Total Residual Chlorine — Standard Methods, 18th Edition, 4500 Cl G
Comment: The laboratory had been analyzing samples on a Hach 2400 meter. They have
recently purchased a new meter (i.e., Hach DR 2700) and has not verified the internal curve.
Finding: An annual verification curve has not been analyzed on the new meter.
Requirement: Most field photometric instruments have factory -set (i.e., stored)
calibration programs, which when selected in combination with the optimum wavelength
for a particular analysis, give a direct readout in concentration. These stored calibration
programs are acceptable for quantitation, but due to possible analyst error, variation in
sample or standard preparation, variation in reagents or malfunction of the instrument,
the stored calibration must be verified with a laboratory -generated calibration at least
every 12 months. Analyze a water blank to zero the instrument and then analyze a
series of five standards. The curve verification must check 5 concentrations (not
counting the blank) that bracket the range of the samples to be analyzed. (Other certified
laboratories may provide assistance in meeting this requirement.) Ref: Technical
Assistance for Field Analysis of Total Residual Chlorine. Please send a copy of the
curve verification to our office with the inspection report reply.
Recommendation: A curve was analyzed on the Hach 2400 on 4/6/2009. It is
recommended that the laboratory use the Hach 2400 until a curve is analyzed on the DR
2700 meter.
D. Finding: A gel standard is analyzed each analysis day; however, the true value of the
gel standard has not been established.
Requirement: Establish the true value of the gel standard by reading the gel standard
on a meter that has just had the internal curve verified. Assign that reading as the true

Page 3
# 5455 Town of Denton WWTP
value of the gel standard. Document this procedure. This procedure must be performed
annually (every 12 months) to verify gel standards that have exceeded the documented
expiration date. Each gel standard must be verified specifically to each meter. Ref:
Technical Assistance for Field Analysis of Total Residual Chlorine. Please submit a
copy of the gel standard verification against the curve with the inspection report
reply.
Conductivity_— Standard Methods, 18th Edition, 2510 B
E. Finding: The laboratory is not analyzing a calibration verification check standard each
analysis day.
Requirement: Analyze and document a calibration verification check standard. It is
recommended that this standard be at a lower range. The value obtained from the
calibration check standard must read within 10% of the true value of the check standard.
If the obtained value is outside of the ±10% range, corrective action must be taken. Ref:
Technical Assistance for Field Analysis of Conductivity.
Comment: The instrument is calibrated on a 1000 µmhos/cm standard each analysis
day.
IV. PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION:
The paper trail consisted of comparing field testing records to Discharge Monitoring Reports
(DMRs) submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. Data was reviewed for
(NPDES # NC0026689) for November, December, 2008 and January 2009. No transcription
errors were detected. The facility appears to be doing a good job of accurately transcribing data.
V. CONCLUSIONS:
Correcting the above -cited findings and implementing the recommendation will help this lab to
produce quality data and meet certification requirements. The inspector would like to thank the
staff for its assistance during the inspection and data review process. Please respond to all
findings.

Town of Denton
P. O. Box 306
Denton, N.C. 27239
2. Date of Investigation: September 3, 1997
3. Report Prepared by: Abner Braddy
4. Persons Contacted and Telephone Number:
John Everhart, Town Manager [phone]
Dan Pritchett, P.E.; Jamestown Engineering [phone]
5. Directions to Site: From Winston-Salem, travel N.C. Hwy.
109 South to Denton; turn right at the stop light onto
Peacock Street (S.R. 2511); travel 0.8 mile to High Rock
Street (S.R. 1002) and turn left; travel 0.1 mile and turn
left onto S.R. 2569 after crossing the railroad tracks; go
past the furniture plant on the left, pass through the gate
at the entrance to the dirt road, and follow the dirt road
to the WWTP at the end.
6. Discharge Points(s), List for all discharge points:
Latitude: 350 37' 22" Longitude: 800 09' 22"
The Town's engineers are considering a request for the
discharge at an alternate site on Lick Creek. During the
September 3 on -site evaluation, each of the locations was
visited. Although the location being investigated for
purposes of this application is only approximately 1000'
downstream of the alternate site, what appears to be a
relatively significantly -sized tributary enters Lick Creek
between the two locations. That unnamed tributary is the
one into which the Denton WWTP presently discharges. The

reason given for the applicant considering the alternate
site is the fact that there does not appear to be sufficient
working right-of-way between the unnamed tributary to Lick
and S.R. 2504 at a point about 400' upstream of the proposed
discharge point. Due to the right-of-way constrictions, the
engineer stated that at least one, and possibly two
additional creek crossings will be necessary to reach the
proposed discharge point. The latitude and longitude of the
alternate site are:
Latitude: 350 371 27" Longitude: 800 09 17"

ditch with 2 aerators, twin 25.0' diameter clarifiers,
chlorine contact chamber with gas chlorination,
followed by cascade aeration. Solids are handled in an
aerated sludge holding tank (45,100 gallons), and there
are also six 920 square foot sludge drying -beds, though
they are not currently in use.
f. Please provide a description of proposed wastewater
treatment facilities. The wetwell pumps will be
modified, an additional 400,000 gallon oxidation ditch
will be constructed. Discharge from the new oxidation
channel will be split to evenly distribute flow between

PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Town has routinely exceeded their flow limit for the
last 2 years due to excessive infiltration and inflow. They have
undertaken a program to rehabilitate various sections of the
sewerage system, as required under the approved 201 Facilities
Plan. Those areas identified as being most in need of repair or
NPDES Permit Staff Report

replacement are to be rehabilitated by July 1, 1998, under the
proposed S.O.C.
The addition of the new treatment components should produce
a higher quality effluent, and the relocation of the outfall to
the main stem of Lick Creek will improve the water quality in the
U.T. where the WWTP presently discharges. The Region recommends
the permit be issued with 2 sets of effluent pages, one at 0.30
MGD and one at 0.80 MGD.

Dear Mr. Goodrich:
With regards to the referenced project and on behalf of the Town of
Denton, we have enclosed the original and 2 copies of an NPDES
Permit Application and $400.00 processing fee for upgrading of
their treatment facility from 0.300 MGD to 0.800 MGD. The current
NPDES permit for the 0.300 MGD facility was re -issued on July 29,
1994, to be in effect between September 1, 1994 and August 31,
1999. As the enclosed request occurs during the existing term of
the current permit, we assume limits will be established for the
existing 0.300 MGD facility as well as for the completed facility
at a design discharge rate of 0.800 MGD. Please be aware that the
Town of Denton made an application for a Special Order By Consent
on August 19, 1996 (EMC SOC 96-23).
In support of this request, we have enclosed a copy of the full 201
Facilities Plan approval letter from the Construction Grants and
Loans Section dated April 16, 1997. In addition, we have enclosed
a copy of the Verification of Speculative Limits dated October 5,
1995 and supporting proposed discharge location maps. Currently
their surface discharge is to an unnamed tributary to Lick Creek
which is projected as a zero flow stream for the 7Q10, and 30Q2
events. It is anticipated that this effluent outfall will be
extended to the main body of Lick Creek as part of the facility's
upgrade. As indicated in your department's enclosed letter of
October 5, 1995, Lick Creek has a positive flow. during the 30Q2
event at this proposed discharge point.
James B. Stephens, RLS - M. William Tilley - James D. Terrell

Mr. Dave Goodrich
April 30, 1997
Page -2-
In addition to the extension of the facility's effluent outfall,
the approved 201 Facilities Plan provides for expansion or
provision of additional aeration basin capacity (oxidation
channel), clarifiers, chlorination/dechlorination facilities and
tertiary filters.
If any additional information is required for your evaluation of
this permit for 0.800 MGD surface discharge, please call. Your
early consideration of this request would be appreciated.
Yours very truly,

�EHNR
The Technical Support Branch has received your request for verification/updating of
the speculative limits for the Town's existing discharge location as well as for the second
alternate discharge point.
Given that both the 7Q10 and 30Q2 flow in the existing receiving stream, UT to Lick
Creek, is zero, expansion would not be allowed at the existing location per 15A NCAC 2B
.0206(d)(2). The flow for Lick Creek at the second alternate discharge location is
estimated to be 7Q10=0 cfs and 30Q2= 0.09 cfs. 'Therefore, relocation and expansion
would be allowed at this site.
Based on current regulations, 15A NCAC 2B .0206(d)(1), upon expansion and

These limitations would be applicable to both 0.6 and 1.0 MGD. Metals limits if
applicable, would be evaluated when the facility submits a formal request for a permit
Please be advised that response to this request does not guarantee that the Division
will issue an NPDES permit to discharge treated wastewater into these receiving waters. It
should be noted that new and expanding facilities, involving an expenditure of public funds
or use of public (state) lands, will be required to prepare an environmental assessment (EA)
when waste flows: 1) exceed or equal OS MGD, or 2) exceed one-third of the 7Q10 flow
of the receiving stream. DEM will not accept a permit application for a project requiring an
EA until the document has been approved by the Department of Environment. Health and
Natural Resources and a Finding of No Significant Impact (FONSI) has been sent to the
state Clearinghouse for review and comment
The EA should contain a clear justification for the proposed facility and an analysis
of potential alternatives which chonld incl»dP a thorn„ --valuation c f non-di=b.;e
alternatives. Nondischarge alternatives or alternatives to expansion, such as spray
irrigation, water conservation, inflow and infiltration reduction or connection to a regional
treatment and disposal system, are considered to be environmentally preferable to a surface
water discharge. In accordance with the North Carolina General Statutes, the practicable
waste treatment and disposal alternative with the least adverse impact on the environment is
required to be implemented. If the EA demonstrates that the project may result in a
significant adverse affect on the quality of the environment, an Environmental Impact
Statement would be required. Monica Swihart of the Water Quality Planning Branch can
provide further information regarding the requirements of the N.C. Environmental Policy
Act
If you have any questions feel free to call Andy McDaniel of my staff at (919) 733-
