Process Equipment for Water and Waste Water Treatment A% c��aRse A04,11ALL AIR OIfilia" R "HYDRO-CEAL"TM General :e the development of the activated sludge process in the vdrly 1900's, several types of diffused air devices have been designed and developed to introduce air into liquids. These devices have ranged from individual holes and slots drilled into ---ctions of pipe to more elaborate devices made of small �ticles fused together. Today, although the same types of generic devices exist, diffusers are commonly classified as fine or coarse bubble. The demarcation between fine and coarse bubbles is not well differentiated. Coarse bubble diffusers will typically produce a bubble diameter of 10 to 20 mm in clean water. Fine bubble diffusers will produce bubbles with a diameter of 2 to 4 mm in clean water. The HYDRO -AEROBICS model HYDRO-CEAL AIR DIFFUSER is a result of years of extensive research and development to produce a coarse bubble diffuser with excellent oxygen transfer cleanout. The HYDRO-CEAL air duffuser has two functions, mixing and oxygen transfer. The mixing function allows tremendous surface contact of the liquid being aerated. The oxygen transfer occurs from the contact of the liquid being aerated. The oxygen transfer occurs from the contact of the large and small bubbles released in the liquid. With our unique design, a double shear of air is being released. The air is sheared as it discharges the air orifice of the air diffuser body and again as it crosses over the diaphram baffle. If it is not sheared at this point, it will then shear along the diaphram e. Several diffusers have been developed using this Aciple but none have been designed and manufactured with the diaphram built as an integral part of the disk body. The HYDRO-CEAL air diffuser will not blow off because it is —olded directly onto the diffuser disk body ... a unique feature he industry! EQUIPMENT SPECIFICATIONS Principle The HYDRO-CEAL air diffuser consists of two simple parts, the diffuser body assembly and the flexible check diaphram. Both parts are molded together so no separation can occur. During aeration, the diaphram rises allowing the air to exit through the orifice of the disk body. When the air stops, the diaphram is instantly seated against the diffuser body by the pressure of the liquid, preventing backflow and clogging. The unique formation of the air check diaphram will allow double shear of the discharged air from the air orifice, along with assisting in reducing the requirements of maintaining each diffuser level for proper air distribution.

When the air manifold pressure exceeds the pre-set pressure of the valve, the valve will open and vent the excess air pressure. The Simon Hydro -Aerobics, Inc. Pressure Relief Valve is a spring loaded type that is available in six (6) sizes, ranging from 1' diameter pipe size to 4" diameter pipe size. These valves are pre -sat at the factory for a working pressure of 5 PSI. Easy adjustment of the valve can be made to increase the pressure depending on the actual pressure candition of the air manifold. The pressure range of these valves is from 0 to 10 PSI.

STEVENS Model 61 Total Flow Meter Lightweight, portable for easy surface above a reference point. The TFM uses a float to detect this height and converts it into a installation, servicing, and relocation reading of instantaneous flow. Interchangeable flow cams and gears for greater accuracy and easy in -field changes Seven -digit totalizer for continuous volume indication Choice of AC synchronous motor drive or Quartz Multispeed Timer The Stevens Model 61 Total Flow Meter (TFM) is designed for on -site measuring of open channel flows. Instruments can be furnished to record and totalize in either English or metric units, and can be used with virtually any type and size of weir or flume. A full-scale measuring range may run from as low as 14,000 gallons per day (GPD) through a 22-1/20 V notch weir to as much as several hundred million gallons, per day (MGD) through large sizes pf Parshali and other types of flumes. The volume of liquid flowing through a primary measuring device is a function of the height of the Stevens' Reputation for Quality The Model 61 Total Flow Meter represents Stevens' continuing effort to provide a high -quality Product which meets customer needs at a cost- effective price. Convenience The TFM converts water level measurement to flow data for continuous indication (61M) or graph- ic record (61R), and uses a mechanical totalizer for continually indicated volume. The unit is housed in a compact case for portability, and comes equipped with a.bracket for shelf or table mount- ing. The seven -digit totalizer and chart drives are powered by AC synchronous motors or, if pre- ferred, by a battery -driven Quartz Multispeed Timer. Flexibility A major feature of these instruments is the ability to convert them for other flow ranges by an easy in -field change of flow cam and flow gears. For in- filtration studies and similar applications the operator may use the meter on a V-notch weir in the morning, a Parshall flume in the afternoon, and something else later in the week. These portable meters are compact, lightweight, and simple to in- stall, service, maintain, or relocate. Technical C STEVENS Total Flow Meters - ME Stevens Total Flow Meters are designed for use with specific types and sizes of flumes and weirs. This is a partial list of some of the more common devices and flow ranges accommodated. In addi- tion to those listed, instruments can be supplied for use with various other open -channel primaries such as larger sized Parshall, Palmer-Bowlus, Leopold-Lagco, and type H flumes; various sizes of rectangular and Cipolletti weirs; proportional or Sutro weirs, flow nozzles, etc. We can also provide instruments to conform to customer -obtained ratings of large diameter sewers, stream sections, and other natural channels. Flows are shown in units of million gallons per day (MGD). Other English units such as gallons per minute (GPM), as well as metric units, can also be provided. The floats in the "Recommended Float Diameter' column are the standard cylindrical type used in stilling well installations. Scow type floats are often used with Parshall, Palmer-Bowlus, and Leopold-Lagco flumes when a stilling well is not available. Stevens offers several sizes of scow floats.

Instruments can be furnished for other types and different sizes of open channel primaries. Different maximum flow ranges can usually be provided. _ If unable to locate an appropriate Catalog Number, write or call for information advising type and size of weir, flume, nozzle, etc. and expected maximum flow. The Model 61M provides a visual indication only. The indicator plate is graduated to show instantan- eous flow rate as noted by the indicator pointer. A red clip on the indicator plate is positioned to in- dicate peak flow. The Model 61R uses a strip chart to provide a permanent record of flow. Both the 61M and 61R have a seven -digit totalizer for in- dicating total volume. Long Service Life As with all Stevens products, the Total Flow Meter was designed to assure low maintenance and long life. All bearings are lifetime lubricated. The instrument case is made of high -impact ASS plastic with stainless -steel hardware, and has a viewing port. Model 61R Recorder Chart A standard 50-foot by 4-inch strip chart is printed on tracing quality paper which has been specially selected to minimize the effects of humidity. Curvi- linear graduations compensate for the cartridge pen's arc swing. There are six minor time divisions between major divisions. Charts are overprinted every 2, 3, or 6 hours, depending on the time scale. The chart has uni- form divisions for flow, and consists of seven ma- jor and five minor divisions. Available times scales are 5, 10, or 20 inches of chart travel per day, which yields 120, 60, or 30 days, respectively, of continuous records. For many applications, a scale of 10 inches per day is satisfactory to provide a clear, easily read record. If the flows fluctuate rapidly, a scale of 20 inches per day is recommended. Scales may be changed easi- ly in the field by interchanging gears. If the op- tional Quartz Multispeed Timer is used, time scales are changed by switch selection. Strip charts can be filed in continuous form or cut into a convenient size for ease in filing. Strip charts provide an advantage over circular charts because they can be used to verify information provided by the totalizer. Since "Rate x Time = Total Volume," it is easy to count the squares in the recorded section, or to use a planimeter to determine total volume and cross-check the totalizer figure. Model 61R Cartridge Pen The chart pen is a disposable cartridge type with a typical life of 3 months. Replacement frequency depends upon the chart speed of the recorder and the characteristics of the flow being recorded. Recommended Float Size .The diameter of the recommended float will vary - between 6 inches and 14 inches, depending on the selected flow range of the instrument, and type of flume or weir. Recommended sizes are listed in Technical Data Sheet 100. It is important to consider the recommended float size because its size will determine the available input torque to the instrument per unit of head change in the weir or flume. Accessories Accessories include a Stevens Sampling Switch, Chlorinator Pacing Potentiometer, Adjustable Mer- cury Switch, Heater, and a 4-20 mA Telemetry Kit. The Sampling Switch provides a contact closure at preselected intervals of metered volume. Uses for the Sampling Switch include totalizing volume on a remote indicator, flow sampling, and dosage control. Sampling rates may be varied by changing cams; cams are available with 10, 20, or 25 lobes. Refer to Technical Data Sheet 100 for actual sampl- ing intervals. The Chlorinator Pacing Potentiometer consists of a simple potentiometer which is gear driven by the rotation of the pointer plate. The potentiometer usually forms one half of a bridge circuit which controls the rate at which additives are entered in- to a system. It can also be used for retransmitting or other control applications. The Adjustable Mercury Switch provides a con- tact closure at a preselected flow. A typical ap- plication might be to turn on a chlorinator when the flow exceeds 5% of the maximum flow or to turn on a pump when the flow reaches 50% of maximum flow. The switch remains closed for flows above the preselected flow. A small differen- tial angle allows fine positioning of the switch actuation point. A Heater is available for special installations where low temperatures may. affect operation of the instrument or accessories, or where extreme conditions of dampness exist. The 4.20 mA Telemetry Kit will operate with a variety of commercially available receivers for recording, display, or alarm functions. I Pr 4, Weatherproof Enclosure A special weatherproof enclosure is available to furnish protection, shielding the float pulley and float line from snow and ice, and protecting from heavy rains.

All rust, dust and loose mill scale as well as all other extraneous matter shall be removed by means of cleaning by wire brushing 'or other mechanical means. Immediately following cleaning, a heavy inert coal tar coating shall be applied to all tank surfaces prior to shipment. This coating shall be a self -priming heavy duty, solvent type protective coating formulated for abrasion and corrosion resistance and shall have a dry mil thickness of approximately 12 mils. For touch-up of scratches and field weld seams that may occur during installation twenty gallons of the same paint product shall be supplied by the manufacturer. It shall be the responsibility of the installing contractor to touch-up -any surfaces needing repair from shipment or installation. WORKMANSHIP All workmanship and materials throughout shall be of the highest quality and the treatment plant described in the preced- ing specifications shall be complete with all appurtenances required for the satisfactory treatment of the specified sewage load. RS Protective Coatings COAL. -TAR COATINGS TYPE OF COATING COAL -TAR Take bituminous coal, a very complex chemical mixture, and run it through several involved processes, and you will end up with, among other things, coal -tar pitches. Coal -tar coatings are made by dissolving the refined, processed pitch or a blend of pitches in suitable solvents. The source of the coal -tar and the method of processing will provide pitches of different characteristics. Skill and experience are essential in compounding coal -tar coatings, because similar physical characteristics of raw materials do not necessarily mean similar behavior of the finished product under exposure. The raw materials selected for the blending, the degree of refining and the addition of other modifiers, often in very small quantities, decide the final merit of the coating. Coal -tar coatings are among the oldest and most reliable coatings on the market. There is not much question that they give more value per dollar than any other protective coating. The most outstanding quality of coal -tar coatings is their extremely low permeability; they protect surfaces by the mechanical exclusion of moisture and air. In this respect, they have an edge over asphalt coatings, and should be given preference wherever possible. Extremely water resistant, they have good resistance to weak mineral acids, alkalies, salts, brine solutions and other aggressive chemicals. Coal -tar based solvent -cutback coatings will alligator or develop cracks when exposed to the actinic rays of the sun. To preclude alligatoring, coal -tar cutbacks can be topcoated with coal -tar emulsions for sun exposure environments. Coal -tar coatings have given excellent low-cost protection in industrial plants, in sewage disposal plants, on piers and flood control installations, penstocks and on the interior and exterior of concrete pipes carrying sewage and industrial waste.

Authorization to Construct NPDES Permit #NC0079561 Town of Elk Park Avery County Enclosed are the drawing specifying a flow meter and revised calculations for the pump station. Regarding the issue of the equalization basin, I was wondering if you would consider approving the design without the basin at this time, but require them to provide a diurnal flow curve once their allocated flow reaches 80% of maximum. We could then better determine if it was necessary to provide adequate treatment. This would be a requirement of the ATC approval letter. Enclosure Permit File ,�r G �. 4t- C �.

When the 'air manifold pressure exceeds the pre-set pressure of the valve, the valve will open and vent the excess air pressure. The Simon Hydro -Aerobics, Inc. Pressure Relief Valve is a spring loaded type that is available in six (6) sizes, ranging from 1' diameter pipe size to 4' diameter pipe size. These valves are pre-set at the factory for a working pressure of 5 PSI. Easy adjustment of the valve can be made to increase the pressure depending on the actual pressure condition of the air manifold. The pressure range of these valves is from 0 to 10 PSI.

WALKWAY SURFACE _J � INLAND 4-WAY SAFETY PLATE — This tough, rolled steel floor plate with its raised lug pattern provides plenty of traction for feet and wheels �- —enables men and vehicles to start and stop quickly and safely. The attractive design, formed by lugs at right angles to each other and diagonal to the length and width of plate, permits free drainage since there rs are no pockets in which dirt and grease can collect and no pores to absorb spilled liquids. 4-Way safety plate is low in cost, inexpensive to — install and is available in a wide range of sizes in three patterns as shown in the tables below. The small pattern is ideal for applications requiring weight reduc- tion or severe forming, covers more square feet per dollar of cost than any other rolled steel floor plate. The medium pattern is the most versatile of all patterns and is widely used in plant or on product - The large pattern is recommended for floors that must withstand heavy loads and abuse, where unusual structural strength is needed. 4-Way can be sheared, punched, cut and bent to — ] specific lion with conventional fabricating equipment.

"K Metal" Dezincification Resistant Material r �` `t+FMOM a w^i �,:......Sd"C z•+� x:._ s5��"kL^ca"+�as-5+errii-,%� Deterioration of water quality and changes in piping materials have amplified valve dezincification problems. What is Dezincification? The copper alloy used in bronze valves contains zinc, tin, and lead with copper as a base. When bronze valves are subjected to unfavorable operating conditions the zinc component contained in the copper alloy separates from the copper base, and the metal corrodes. This is called dezincification. In a bronze valve, the body, bonnet, and other bronze cast parts hardly corrode at all due to the small percent of zinc in the alloy. But brass parts with a 40% zinc content (stems in particular) are subject to extreme dezincification. g 0 Class 125 BRASS GATE VALVE KITZ Fig. AKFH Gate Valves have a screwed bonnet, non -rising stem, solid wedge disc, integral seats and ✓ N PT -screwed ends.

The following factors cause dezincification. These factors are generally believed to occur together, rather than independently. 1) Aqueous solutions high in acidity. 2) Warm water with a high free carbonic acid content and What is K-Metal? To combat dezincification KITZ developed "K-Metal," used in the stems of all KITZ brass valves and any other valves not using Bronze Alloy B62. The charts below compare K-Metal with B124, B16, B62, and a competitor's dezincification material. Compared are tensile strength, corrosion quantity, hardness, and dezincification. The comparisons clearly show K-Metal's overall superiority and explain why KITZ valves provide superior performance and give longer life. 00 80 60 20 0 Fig. 1 Comparison of Tensile Fig. 2 Comparison of Hardness Strength Conclusion KITZ will continuously use dezincification-resistant copper - base alloy "K-Metal" to maintain strict quality control. You BRONZE/BRASS VALVE SOLDER JOINTS Copper tubing is widely used with Bronze/Brass valves in steam and water -line applications in schools, hospitals, hotels, and homes because of excellent physical character- istics. It resists corrosion, meets sanitation requirements, and is easy to install. COPPER TUBES: There are three types of copper tubing for complying with ASTM B88, Types K, L, and M are avail- able. Each has a different wall thickness to meet application requirements. TYPES OF COPPER TUBING Type K ror use in Bream, ou ano gas nnes tor unaergrouna instauation and/or severe conditions. Type L . For general cooling and heating systems and related water . piping and ventilation systems. Type M I For home air-conditioning and heating applications. 4 high electrical conductivity. 3) High electrical conductivity with large quantities of chlorides and sulfides present. 4) With copper or vinyl chloride pipes. 5) With a large quantity of dissolved oxygen. Figures 1 through 4 compare "K-Metal" with other materials. Material manufactured by a competitor is a dezincification-resistant material. (Corrosion quantity and dezincification depth are values recorded after two weeks.) (NOTE) The dezincification test was made based on the Australian Standard AS C316.

MAKING LEAK -FREE JOINTS Use soft solder having a 95-5 tin -lead rating, 95-5 tin -antimony or 96-4 tin -silver and an open -flame torch. Keep torch tempera- ture relatively low to assure a soldered joint. Because the sol- der melting point ranges between 360°F and 570°F, a solder joint valve cannot be used in applications where high tempera- tures will soften the solder. CAST IRON RELIEF VALVES DAVC0.

These can be custom engineered to meet your design concept and job requirements. Narrow or wide band aeration can be achieved by using a fixed -in -place, submerged header, or removable drop pipe concept incorporating the D1 Diffuser. Where channel aeration or post aeration is required, the D1 Diffuser offers the design engineer maximum flexibility to arrive at a most economical, efficient system. D1 Diffuser leaf springs are fabricated of type 304 stainless steel no lighter than .020 inches thick and are fastened to the body by welding. DAVCO welcomes the opportunity to supply D1 Diffusers to meet your requirements. Call our representative in your area today or contact us at 1-800-841-1550. Corrosion -free construction is obtained by all -metal diffuser bodies made of type 304 stainless steel. All seams are heliarc-welded to insure an air -tight enclosure. W A simple threaded connection allows easy installation resulting in low labor cost. The leaf spring is welded in two places to increase reliability and give double action oscillation. The spring deflects only slightly but oscillates at a high frequency shearing the air as it exits. This provides small bubble size and efficient aeration. 111ATHi WATM DAVIS-­__ Davis Industrial Waste Systems DAVCO Municipal Waste Systems Meeting the growing demand for clean water 1828 Metcalf Avenue Post Office Box 1419 Thomasville, Georgia Call Toll Free 14XX-841-1550 H I DARK HOLLOW ROAD PUMP STATION r "I 3 ® McGILL ASSOCIATES, P.A.

This assessment is based upon the following facts: a review has been conducted of the discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Town of Elk Park for the month of July 2009. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and/or monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit NC0079561. The violations which occurred in July 2009 are summarized in Attachment A to this letter. Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Town of Elk Park violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit NCO079561 and G.S. 143-215. 1 (a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. In accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2), a civil penalty may be assessed against any person who violates the terms, conditions or requirements of a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1(a). Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, Roger C Edwards, Division of Water Quality Regional Supervisor for the Asheville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against Town of Elk Park: SURFACE WATER PROTECTION — ASHEVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE Location: 2090 U.S. Highway 70, Swannanoa, NC 28778 P/hone: (828) 296-4500\FAX: 828 2997043\Customer Service: 1-877-623-6748 /IrSternet: www.ncwaterguality.org I of the 1 violations of G.S. 143-215. 1 (a)(6) and NPDES Permit No. $125.00 NC0079561, by discharging waste water into the waters of the State in violation of the Permit Monthly Average limit for NH3-N - Cone. $125.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY $51.00 Enforcement Costs $176.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313- 282.1(b), which are: (1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation; (2) The duration and gravity of the violation; (3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; (4) The cost of rectifying the damage; (5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; (6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; (7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and (8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures. Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following: Submit payment of the penalty: Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please submit payment to the attention of: Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 OR 2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation and agreement that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b) was wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all evidence presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding the case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee).

P.O. Box 1167 Banner Elk, NC 28604 544 February.19, 2009 Commercial Maintenance Jason Smith, Gary Francies Paul Isenhour This laboratory was inspected to verify its compliance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0800 for the analysis of environmental samples. GENERAL COMMENTS: The inspection was an abbreviated audit to review the analyses performed in the field by the operators. The parameters reviewed were pH, Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen, and Total Residual Chlorine. The facility has all of the equipment necessary to perform the analyses. The operator's benchsheets and calibration logs are well developed; however some minor improvements need to be made. Significant improvements in the reduction of transcription errors have been made since the previous inspection; however further improvement is still needed. FINDINGS, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: PH — Standard Methods, 18t' Edition, 4500 H"' B Temperature — Standard Methods, 18t' Edition, 2550 B Dissolved Oxygen — Standard Methods, 18"' Edition, 4500 O G Total Residual Chlorine — Standard Methods, 18t' Edition, 4500 CI G Comment: The time of sample collection and analysis is not documented. Only the arrival time at the facility is documented. According to 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (a) (7) (M), a record of date collected, time collected, sample collector, and use of proper preservatives must be maintained. The memorandum dated June 20, 2007 from North Carolina Wastewater/Groundwater Laboratory Certification (NC WW/GW LC) titled 'Required Documentation' for Sampling Preservation' and Hold Time", states that the time elapsed between sampling and analysis must be documented to determine if hold times are met. Updated benchsheets were received on February 26, 2009 including the collection and analysis time. No further response is necessary for this finding. Total Residual Chlorine — Standard Methods, 18t' Edition, 4500 CI G A. Finding: Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) Performance Testing (PT) samples are analyzed using an incorrect meter program. I Page 2 #544 Water Quality Lab & Operations, Inc. - Requirement: "The DMR-QA study is designed to evaluate the entire process you, use to routinely report results in your Discharge Monitoring Reports." Ref: EPA DMR-QA Study 28 . Letter, March 10, 2008. Comment: Analyze'PT samples on the same program, using the same procedure that is used for sample analysis. NPDES samples -are analyzed using the Ultra Low Level (pg/L) TRC internal instrument standard curve; however, PT samples are analyzed using the Regular Level (mg/L) TRC internal instrument curve. Recommendation: Regular level PT samples may be diluted so that concentrations are within the verified (bracketed) curve range. Since the dilution process can introduce additional error, it is recommended that the facility analyze a low level TRC PT sample. These are currently available from many vendors. DH — Standard Methods,18" Edition, 4500 H+ B Comment: Proper units of measure are not documented on the benchsheets. Per 15A,NCAC 2H .0805 (a) (7) (H), all laboratories must use printed laboratory bench worksheets that include a space to enter the signature or initials of the analyst, date of analyses, sample identification, volume of sample analyzed, value from the measurement system, factor and final value to be reported and each item must be recorded each time samples are analyzed. Updated benchsheets were received on February 26, 2009 which document proper units of measure for pH. No further response is necessary for this finding. B. Finding: Post calibration checks are not consistently analyzed. Requirement: If compliance samples are analyzed throughout the day, a post calibration check (e.g., 7 buffer) must be analyzed mid -day and at the end of the run (i.e., roughly every 4 hours based on an eight hour day). Ref: Technical Assistance for Field Analysis of pH, Rev. 02/2009, IV. PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION: The paper trail consisted of comparing laboratory bench sheets to Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality. Data were reviewed for the following facilities and months: White Oak (NPDES #NC0030139), Jonas Ridge (NPDES #NC0060224), Mountain Glen (NPDES #NC0033685), and Adam's Apple HOA (NPDES #NC0042358) September, 2008; Fairhaven (NPDES 4NC0079448) May, 2008; Tynecastle (NPDES #NC0062961) February and July; 2008; Town of Newland (NPDES #NC0021857) July 2008; Linville Ridge (NPDES #NC0062413) July and September, 2008. The following errors were noted: Date Parameter Location Value on Benchsheet Value on DMR 7130/08 Temperature Town of Newland 22 °C 23 °C Effluent 7/31/08 Temperature Town of Newland 22 °C 23 °C Effluent 912/08 Temperature Linville Ridge 20 °C 3 'C Effluent In order to avoid questions of legality, it, is recommended that you contact the appropriate Regional Office for guidance as to whether an amended Discharge Monitoring Report will be required. A copy of this report will be forwarded to the Regional Office. Page 3 #544 Water Quality Lab & Operations, Inc. C. Finding: Numerous instances of sample analyses being performed but not reported -on the DMRs were noted. Requirement: The results of all tests on the characteristics of the effluent, including but not limited to NPDES permit monitoring requirements, shall be reported on the monthly report forms. Ref: 15A NCAC 2B .0506 (b) (3) (J). Comment: In order to continue process control monitoring without reporting the data on the DMR, samples must be collected prior to the final effluent discharge. Altematively, if the analysts continue collecting the samples from the'effluent, the results must be reported on the DMR. D. 'Finding: Camp Broadstone - The analysis of a calibration check for Total Residual Chlorine is not analyzed/documented consistently. Requirement: When a five standard annual curve verification is used the laboratory must check the calibration curve each analysis day. To do this, the laboratory must analyze a blank to zero the instrument and analyze a check standard each day that samples are analyzed. The time of analysis and value obtained for the calibration check must be documented. Ref: Technical Assistance for Field Analysis of Total Residual Chlorine, Rev. 0812008. Comment: The calibration check is documented on days when the pH and Dissolved Oxygen meters are calibrated; however it is not documented when TRC is the only parameter analyzed. E. Finding: Linville Ridge - The time of meter calibration is occasionally documented as later than the arrival and departure time at the facility. Requirement: The meter must be calibrated prior to the analysis of samples. Ref: Technical Assistance for Field Analysis of pH, Rev. 02/2009; Technical Assistance for Field Analysis of Dissolved Oxygen, Rev. 07/2008. Requirement: Instruments are to be calibrated or a calibration check must be performed prior to analysis of samples each day compliance monitoring is performed. Ref: Technical Assistance for Field Analysis of Total Residual Chlorine, Rev. 08/2008. V. CONCLUSIONS: Correcting the above -cited findings and implementing the recommendations 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.

This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the wastewater we discharge to the receiving waters every day. Our constant goal is to protect the environmental waters of North Carolina. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the wastewater treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of the receiving waters that we discharge to. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your wastewater utility, please contact Otis Ward at (828) 733-9573. We want our valued customers to be informed about their wastewater utility. Let us first take this opportunity to give you a brief description of a Wastewater Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes, and ends up at the treatment plant. The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large particles that are present (i.e., rags and papers). The water then goes to an aeration basin where air is pumped into the water. This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the solids that are in the water. The water then goes. to the clarifier where the solids settle out. The solids are pumped back to the aeration basin to give the bacteria a second chance to feed. When there are too many solids in the plant-, some of the solids are pumped to a digester tank. In the digester, the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the solids' volume. When the digester gets full, the solids are pumped from the tank and taken to a larger facility. The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for disinfection. The two most prominent ways to disinfect the wastewater are chlorine and ultraviolet light. Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form. When chlorine is used, there is generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the wastewater before it goes to the receiving water. When ultraviolet light (UV) is used, the wastewater flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not live when exposed to UV light, so as the water passes the UV bulbs, the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection, the treated wastewater goes into the receiving waters. PERFORMANCE The treatment plant did very well last year. For the whole year, the plant was non- compliant for only two weekly limits for fecal coliform, one in November and one in December. The chlorine was adjusted, and the plant was back in compliance by the very next samples. The plant also had one weekly non-compliance for total suspended solids in May. The treatment plant had two monthly non -compliances for ammonia nitrogen in April and May. NOTIFICATION This annual report has been sent to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and to the owner of the wastewater system. The wastewater system owner has also been given a letter that they can easily distribute to all their customers. The letter will inform the customers that the annual report is available upon request to the owner of the system. CERTIFICATION I certify under penalty of law that this report is complete and accurate to the best of my --knowledge. I further certify that this report has been made available to the users or customers of the named system and that those users have been notified of its availability as per the NOTIFICATION section above. gaul Isenhour Date Laboratory Supervisor Water Quality Lab & Operations, Inc. .

MAR 1 8 2008 WATER aLlfliTY ` Gi Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report Town of Elk Park NPDES M NC0079561 Date: 2/13/08 We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report. This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the wastewater we discharge to the receiving waters every day. Our constant goal is to protect the environmental waters of North Carolina. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually improve the wastewater treatment process and protect our water resources. We are committed to ensuring the quality of the receiving waters that we discharge to. If you have any questions about this report or concerning your wastewater utility, please contact Otis Ward at (828) 733-9573. We want our valued customers to be informed about their wastewater utility. Let us first take this opportunity to give you a brief description of a Wastewater Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes, and ends up at the treatment plant. The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large particles that are present (i.e., rags and papers). The water then goes to an aeration basin where air is pumped into the water. This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the solids that are in the water. The water then goes to the clarifier where the solids settle out. The solids are pumped back to the aeration basin to give the bacteria a second chance to feed. When there are too many solids in the plant, some of the solids are pumped to a digester tank. In the digester, the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the solids' volume. When the digester gets full, the solids are pumped from the tank and taken to a larger facility. The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for disinfection. The two most prominent ways to disinfect the wastewater are chlorine and ultraviolet light. Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form. When chlorine is used, there is generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the wastewater before it goes to the receiving water. When ultraviolet light (UV) is used, the wastewater flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not live when exposed to UV light, so as the water passes the UV bulbs, the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection, the treated wastewater goes into the receiving waters. PERFORMANCE The treatment plant did very well last year. For the whole year, the plant was non- compliant for only two weekly limits for fecal coliform, one in July and one in November. The chlorine was adjusted, and the plant was back in compliance by the very next samples. NOTIFICATION This annual report has been sent to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and to the owner of the wastewater system. The wastewater system owner has also been given a letter that they can easily distribute to all their customers. The letter will inform the customers that the annual report is available upon request to the owner of the system. CERTIFICATION I certify under penalty of law that this report is complete and accurate to the best of my knowledge. I further certify that this report has been made available to the users or customers of the named system and that those users have been notified of its availability as per the NOTIFICATION section above.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) Treatment Units / Process Control Testing / Effluent Data: Permitted capacity: 100,000 gpd The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows: Temperature = 21.9 degrees Celcius pH = 7.03 units Dissolved Oxygen = 1.3 mg/I Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3 mg/l. Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to achieve ideal dissolved oxygen levels. Settleable Solids =625 ml/I = 62.5 % Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so that the flow rate is approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the settleable solids from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a settleometer. For example, a settleability of 30% would generally indicate a recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%. Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%) the same as the percent return sludge pumping rate (i.e. 30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained. If the plant cannot handle that return sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably recommended, unless the sludge is too young. The effluent data was as follows: Dissolved Oxygen = 3.48 mg/I pH = 7.1 units Temperature = 21.9 degrees Celcius Chlorine = 25 ug/I Records & Reports: A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was conducted on 6-2-2006 by Wanda Frazier. The permit expires on 9-30-2007. Please continue to operate under the present permit until a new one has been issued. Comments or requests for changes should be made within 30 days of receipt of the draft permit.

GREEN £ MORGANTON, N TEL: (828) 433 FAX: (828) 433 Thank you for your letter dated April 3, 2007 in regards to the above matter addressed to Mayor Darlene Hicks of Elk Park, N.C. Mayor Hicks has asked me as Town Attorney to respond to your letter. I will confirm that Elk Park cannot accept wastewater from the proposed Cranberry Creek Development in Avery County. The Town is currently already engaged in a retirement home project which predates this request, which will mean the Town will not have sufficient excess capacity, contrary to what the Discharge Monitoring Reports you cite indicate. The 60 bed facility in the Cranberry Community, outside the town limits, is nearing completion. The Town was very hesitant to take on this discharge, either, but Avery County management, inspections, and local economic development departments prevailed upon the Town to do so. This project was already in process in May, 2006 when this Cranberry Creek project first was brought before the Town Council. The Town also has other issues which mean this project is not feasible at this time. The official minutes of the Town Council meeting from May 9, 2006, indicate these issues were openly discussed with the Cranberry Creek representatives in attendance, so none of this is news to them. In attendance from this project were Roger Smithey, Derick Smithey, Neil Shepard, Phillip Gilissen, and James Dorman. They were fully informed of the Town's concerns and your letter is the first we have heard of this project since that meeting almost one year ago. The minutes reflect that the representatives 1 of 2 6/12/2007 2:32 PM NCDtNR letter re Cranberry Creek were informed that: 1. That they had not submitted any materials to the Town in advance of the meeting for the materials to be reviewed by the Council or legal counsel. The representatives simply came in with plans and specifications and asked the Town to agree to a connection, which no Town would do under those circumstances; 2. That Jerry Freeman with NCDENR had recommended "time and time again" that the Town needed to complete a study of the water and sewer systems before agreeing to connect any additional homes to either system, and at that same meeting the Town actually did hire an engineering firm to complete same. I think we are still awaiting this final study of our sewer system; 3. The representatives stated they intended for Phase I to discharge 17,280 gallons per day to Elk Park's system. Otis Ward, the Town's water and sewer supervisor, advised the group this was not possible because the 100,000 gallon Town sewer plant was often at 70% capacity including infiltration problems which are persistent and ongoing, and that the State would not allow over 80% of capacity. The Town also has the aforementioned retirement home coming online soon, and there are still homes inside the city limits which have yet to be connected to the sewer plant; 4. The Board specifically told the representatives that the Board would have to receive the aforementioned engineering report before making any decision on this development. Please let me know if we can provide any additional information. Very truly yours, Douglas L.

Box 248 Elk Park, North Carolina 28622 Subject: Inquiry regarding NPDES Permit NCO079561 Town of,Elk Park WWTP Avery County Dear Mayor Hicks: The Division of Water Quality (Division) has recently reviewed the Engineering Alternative Analysis (EAA) for Cranberry Creek Development in Avery County. According to the EAA submitted by the developer's consultant, connection to the town of Elk Park WWTP is the most economically feasible and environmentally sound alternative for handling the wastewater from the proposed development. The Clean Water Act mandates the Division to work toward elimination of wastewater discharges to surface waters. The connection of a potentially new source to the existing wastewater treatment plant eliminates the need for a new discharge and promotes the Division's mission to preserve, protect, and enhance North Carolina's water resources. Review of the Discharge Monitoring Reports for the town of Elk Park WWTP indicates that the Town has the capacity to accept wastewater from Phase 1 of the proposed development. It appears that the town decided not to accept the waste from the proposed development, which is very unusual for a municipality. Therefore, the Division would like to gather more information regarding this issue from the - elected officials of the town of Elk Park and would greatly appreciate any clarifications you can provide. At minimum, the Division must have written correspondence from town officials stating that the Town will not accept wastewater from the proposed development. If you have any questions concerning this issue, please contact Sergei Chernikov at telephone number (919) 733-5083, extension 594. cc: Central Files MEN` e Regional-Offce-/.Water Qualrty,Section N-PDESxUnit '.

INTRODUCTION: On -Site Inspection Report Town of Elk Park P.O. Box 248 Elk Park, NC 28622 5137 10/19/06 Field - Maintenance Mr. Gary Francies Mr. Otis Ward . 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 facility has all the equipment necessary to perform the analyses.. Since the last inspection a new D.O. meter has been. obtained. Most data appeared accurate.. Documentation needs to be improved. Some further quality control procedures need to be implemented. III. DEFICIENCIES, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Documentation A. COMMENT: Overall documentation needs to be improved. NOTE: Items missing include calibration of meters (pH, D,O. and Chlorine), time of meter calibration, and initials. Documentation needs to be streamlined and made more simple and efficient. At the current time four different forms are used but none consistently. Between all the available forms all required items have places to be documented but documentation is not performed consistently from one day to the next.. Staff is currently working on producing one form. A draft copy has been submitted for review and comments were given.. Please submit the final version with your response to this report. REQUIREMENT: Data pertinent to each analysis must be maintained for five years. Certified data must consist of date collected, time collected, samples site, sample collector, and sample analysis time. The field bench sheets must provide a space for the signature of the analyst, and proper units of measure for all analyses. Ref: 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (g) (1). B. COMMENT. Record filing needs to improve. NOTE: Some items could not be found during the inspection. These include the annual Total Residual Chlorine standard curve verification and the temperature sensor calibrations for the D.O. and pH meters. These items were obtained from the contract lab and submitted after the inspection. Page 2 REQUIREMENT: Supporting records shall be maintained as evidence that these practices are being effectively carried out. All analytical records must be available for a period of five years. Ref: 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (a) (7) and (a) (7) (G). Total Residual Chlorine 1. DEFICIENCY: A calibration verification standard (gel standard) is not analyzed. Cited in Previous inspection. NOTE: It is recommended that this verification standard be approximately mid range. When the calibration verification standard varies by more than ± 10%, or is outside the established control limits, whichever is lower, the analysis is out of control. The analysis must be terminated and the problem corrected. REQUIREMENT: For analyses that require a series of standards, a standard must be analyzed with each group of samples to verify the standard curve. Ref: Standard Methods, 18th Edition - Method 4500-CI G., Method 1020B Quality Control (5) page 1-5 and Method 1070D 2. COMMENT: The gel standard had not had its true value established.. NOTE: This has been completed and submitted. No reply is required. 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 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, p COMMENT (New Policy): The laboratory needs to verify the Automatic Temperature Compensator (ATC) of the pH meter annually. NOTE: This has been completed and submitted. No reply is required. REQUIREMENT: There have been some changes made by the Certification Program. We have new policies for ATC verification of pH meters. The following must be performed on an annual (12 month) basis: Automatic Temperature Compensator Check (ATC) for pH meter, performed every 12 months 1. Take a buffer solution and cool to below 101C and read the temperature. Analyze the buffer solution at that temperature. Document the temperature and the measured pH value obtained on the log sheet. 2. Raise the temperature of the buffer solution to approximately 25°C. Document the temperature and the measured pH value on the log sheet.. 3. Raise the temperature of the buffer or standard solution to approximately 35°C. Document the temperature and the measured pH or standard solution value on the log sheet. 4. Repeat with additional temperature adjustments and pH readings as necessary to ensure the temperature usually measured for samples has been bracketed. As the temperature increases or decreases the value of the buffer solution should remain approximately the same.. Ref: NC Certification Policy Statement February 2006 C. COMMENT: The meter is not calibrated with buffers that bracket the range of the samples. IV. Page. 3 NOTE: Currently the meter is calibrated with 4 and 7 buffers and the 7 buffer is reanalyzed as a quality control (QC) check. The meter should be calibrated with 4 and 10 buffers and the 7 analyzed as a QC check. REQUIREMENT: For routine work, use a pH meter accurate and reproducible to 0.1 pH units with a range of 0 to 14 and equipped with a temperature compensation adjustment. The meter must be calibrated with at least two buffers that bracket the range of the samples to be analyzed. After calibration, analyze a third buffer below pH 10, approximately three pH units different from the second. The reading should be within 0.1 units of true value.. The results of the third buffer must be documented. Ref: Standard Methods, 18th Edition - Method 4500 - H+ B (2) and (4) (a) and Ref: 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (a) (7). PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION: A review of data was conducted. This consisted of comparing field testing reports to Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) submitted to this Division.. February, May, and July 2006. The following errors were noted: Date Parameter Location Value on Bench sheet 2/06106 D.O.. Upstream 12.0 mg/L 2/06/06 Temperature Downstream 2.8° C 5/16/06 D.O. Effluent No Value 5/17/06 D.O. Effluent No Value 5/18/06 D.O. Effluent No Value 5/19/06 D.O. Effluent No Value On 7/06/06 the Total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous values were reversed. records and contract lab Data were reviewed for Value on DMR 12.1 mg/L 2080C 5.0 mg/L estimated 5.0 mg/L estimated 5.0 mg/L estimated 5.0 mg/L estimated Staff indicated that no analyses were performed for the 5/16/06 — 5/19/06 D.O. readings that were all reported as 5.0 mg/L. Staff indicated that the value reported was an estimate of historical data. After consulting with staff from Surface Water Protection, they are indicating that amended DMRs must be submitted to this Division in order to avoid questions of legality.. The follow item was noted during review of DMRs. D. COMMENT: The reported BOD data are not qualified when the contract laboratory indicates that a quality 'control failure occurred. REQUIREMENT: If all quality control requirements are not met, it is required that the data are qualified and the qualifications appear on the back of the DMR. Any contract lab qualifying statement must be documented on the DMR. NCLC Policy V. CONCLUSIONS: This facility is doing a good job overall. Correcting the above items should help to produce quality data and meet certification requirements, The inspector would like to thank the staff for their assistance in the inspection and data review process. Please submit a written repIV to all numbered deficiencies and lettered comments. Report prepared by.

The facility was found to be in Compliance with permit NC0079561. Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. The wastewater treatment plant appears to be in compliance and well operated & maintained. Mr. Ward is doing an excellent job of plant operations & maintenance, field-testing, sample collection and submittal of records & reports. Mr. Ward is also responsible for the wastewater treatment plant, sewer collection system, drinking water wells & distribution system, as well as, meter reading, trash collection and other duties. The duties and responsibilities placed on Mr. Ward by the Town is incomprehensible, especially in light of the extensive technical knowledge, complexity of State regulated environmental programs, the time needed to perform these duties and meet all the applicable State regulations and permit requirements. I would strongly recommend that the Town seriously evaluate ways that other Town staff members can support Mr. Ward's duties and relieve him of some of the day-to-day time consuming activities. Given his present responsibilities, certification and permit requirements, more time in his schedule needs to allowed, to ensure that the State's program requirements are being met. The benefit to the Town will be in not risking receipt of Notices of 'Violations and automatic civil penalties for non-compliance.

Mr. Ward is to be highly commended for his conscientiousness, initiative, dedication and outstanding job performance, despite the enormous amount of responsibilities and level of technical expertise required daily. The Town of Elk Park is extremely fortunate to have Mr. Ward, as it's most valuable resource. At the time of the inspection, the effluent was clear and producing a good quality effluent, despite recent high rainfall events producing infiltration and inflow into the collection system. As the influent flows reaches 80% of the permitted monthly average flow of 100,000 gallons per day, the Town will need to pursue plans for a WWTP expansion. Please contact your engineers to discuss available options, timetables and financing. The WWTP is in need of another dissolved oxygen and pH meter. These are required to be used daily and the existing ones need replacing. The effluent DO was 5.3 mg/I. The effluent pH was 7.0 units. The effluent temperature was 15.9 degrees Celsius. The effluent total residual chlorine was <2 0 ug/I. If you or your staff have any questions, please call me at 828-296-4500 extension 4662. Sincerely, Wanda P.

This inspection was conducted to verify that the facility is operating in compliance with the conditions and limitations specified in Collection System Permit No. WQCSD0557. A summary of the findings and comments noted during the inspection are provided in the enclosed copy of the inspection report. The Collection System Non -sampling inspection was conducted by Division of Water Resources staff from the Asheville Regional Office. The following violation(s) were noted during the inspection: Inspection Area Description of Violation Pump Station One of the pumps was not working. Looking through the pump station log, it appears the pump has not run since June 15 at least, and that the pump was also not functioning March 17-May 22. In addition, the issues below must also be addressed: Compliance Issue(s): The Cranberry Pump Station control boxes are corroded. A manhole on Elk River Rd had cracked encasement concrete and was hidden by weeds. Maintenance records were missing. High priority lines need to be identified, and.inspections of them need to be documented every six months.

I met with backup ORC, Otis Ward, who assisted with the inspection. Documentation was sufficient in some areas and lacking in others. Pump station inspection documentation could be more complete. Right of way maintenance and high priority line inspections should be documented. Sewer line cleaning, repair, and other maintenance should be documented in a log book. Pump station #1, Dark Hollow, had only one operating pump. Review of the log book revealed that this station has been operating with only one functional pump for almost 3 of the last 4 months. Otis said that a functional backup pump is on hand and ready to be installed. Please install that pump immediately, and going forward do not allow pump stations to run with only one functioning pump for more than 24 hours past discovery of the situation. Pump station #2, Cranberry, has a lot of rust on the control boxes. I recommend refurbishment to protect the controls. A canopy would offer some protection for the control boxes and perhaps reduce corrosion. One other recommendation is for a low float alarm. In the event that the shut off float for the pumps stops working, they could keep running even when the wet well is pumped down and the pumps are dry. This could damage the pumps. A low float alarm could alert an operator of this condition and perhaps save the pumps. A manhole Otis and I inspected along Elk River Rd needs the encasing concrete repaired. This manhole was hidden by tall weeds. Manholes need to be kept visible and accessible. Please keep records of maintaining the right of ways.

You were briefly present; Tim Fox with the Division of Water Resources and Otis Ward with the Town of Elk Park were also present.

The Mayor was also present for some of the inspection. System is. fairly new; 1996 with 204 customers in town and 18 out of town. The system is smoke tested yearly. Personnel stated right of ways are accessible if need be. Both pump stations need work immediately. The town will respond back to the inspector with documentation of the work completed. Documentation of work completed by the town was received in the Asheville Office on March 5, 2014. An itemized list of work as well as photo and video documentation were sent verifying work completed. Both pump/lift stations were cleaned and pumped. The alarm systems were repaired and now work. Both had simple repairs needed. It is suggested that these station be on a pumping schedule depending on fats/debris buildup. On 2/21/2014 the inspector emailed the ORC the Operational Log Package which consists of various forms related to collection systems. Overall the program is well managed. These were pump station maintenance issues that needed immediate attention; this will be an ongoing demand of the ORCs and towns time and resources. Another helpful ongoing maintenance practice of a collection system is cleaning; if the the town plans to clean their system they should consider the feasibility of purchasing a jetter system vs contracting this service out.

Box 248 Elk Park, NC 28622 SUBJECT: Privately -owned Collection Systems and Privately -owned Pump Stations Avery County Dear Ms. Guinn: As we have continued our evaluations of sewage collection systems management, it was recognized that there are a group of contributors that may not be informed of their individual responsibilities. In March 2000, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission enacted rules related to sewage collection systems. These rules are now found in the North Carolina Administrative Code 15 NCAC 2T .0403 for deemed permitted facilities. They include facilities with a privately -owned collection system that serve condominiums, apartments, mobile home parks, subdivisions, shopping centers, colleges, etc. that are tributary to larger municipally owned systems, yet are not owned or managed by the municipality. If you are aware of any such privately -owned collection systems, we would also like to be informed of their existence. In addition, we would like to know where any privately -owned pump stations are located that are connected to your collection system. The type of information we are requesting is the facility name, location and contact person. If that system is in a state of disrepair or if you have received complaints about it previously, please note that as well. Your attention. to this request is most appreciated. We have been notified of problems at some of these facilities in the past and have had a difficult time locating the responsible party to affect a repair to the problem. A response from you within 30 days would be very helpful as we try to ensure that all owners of collection systems are meeting the regulatory requirements of reporting spills and providing the proper operation and maintenance of their systems. Hopefully, this will also be beneficial to the operation of your municipal collection system.

Guinn Michael Smith Joel Whitley To Whom It May Concern: O ay den we had a call that ater was running opt of a m rahole. This happens to be the last one going to the W.W.Plant. The manhole is the smallest one as in depth. Over a period of time the manhole collected some grit & grease, therefore causing it to backup and over flow .There was about 1" of water running out of the manhole for approximately 2 hours. Water had run out down the road about 500 ft and into a ditch. I had been down to the plant earlier and there was no SSO at that time. Considering the time that it could have started and the time Rotor Rooter jetted the line, I could only estimate the amount of spill. Given the amount of time that had passed 600 gallons would be a high estimate, in my opinion. Since this occurred I have regularly checked this manhole for grease,grit,etc. I have also rodded the main from this manhole to the plant to reduce chance of blockage again. It had been about a year since I had smoke tested the system, which I do annually. At that time there were no problems with this manhole. The town does have a grease ordinance for grease traps. I have records when each one of these has been pumped. I have not sent out any information or literature concerning grease. I plan to put an ad in the local paper concerning FOG (Fats, Oils, Grease).

This letter is in response to your questions concerning a CSO/SS on May 4th, 2011. In my previous response to this SSO I estimated the spill without using the estimation table. Noted below could be a more accurate figure using the estimation table chart. 1. The Town of Elk Park determines the volume of a spill by using 7.2 Flow Estimation Tables. A 24" Manhole Cover with 1" flow equals to 6 gpm & for 2 hours equals to 1,080 gals. Our Manhole Cover is 22" in Diameter; therefore my estimate would be between 600 & 800 gals spilled Maximum, in my opinion. 2. The Town of Elk Park has a Sewer Use Ordinance that includes a FOG clause. I have enclosed a copy that was sent out recently. 3. The line was last cleaned about a year ago. 4. Public education information for grease was last sent out on June 22, 2011.1 have also enclosed a copy of the information that was advertised in the local newspaper.

The Town of Elk Park built a new WWTP and installed a new collection system in 1996. Prior to that time, the residents had septic systems. Description: Approximately 31,000 linear ft of sewer collection system for — 255 business and residential customer taps serving — 500 residents. The entire collection system was installed in 1996 and consists of 8-in gravity SDR-35 pipe and 8-inch DIP (ductile iron pipe) force main. There are two duplex (30 HP Aurora hydromatic) pump stations with telemetry (no generators). Heather Buchanan Electric installed the Sensaphone® 1400 telemetry system 2-3 years ago.

This plan was developed to ensure that key personnel respond to every spill event within sixty (60) minutes of a reported event. INITIAL RESPONSE: Spills reported to or detected by collection system personnel require immediate attention. The Collection System ORC and / or Back-up Operator will make the preliminary assessment of the spill within 15 minutes after receiving report. That assessment includes visiting the spill site. The ORC or Back-up Operator will determine the appropriate response and request assistance from key personnel, as necessary. The contact list will be updated annually and include .essential response equipment and personnel. Local contractors may be employed, as deemed necessary. Key personnel will, upon assessing the site, continue to document the event and determine the severity, magnitude and potential environmental impact. Every effort should be made to minimize the spill event consistent with the SOURCE CONTROL AND CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES section of this plan. The safety of all response personnel should never be compromised. Key personnel should implement recovery actions to eliminate the cause of the obstruction and / or system failure as outlined in this plan. POST SPILL RESPONSE (REPORTING): After containment is achieved, the Division of Water Quality, (DWQ) must be contacted as soon as possible but, in no case later than 24 hours after initial detection if; 1) the spill has reached surface waters, "waters of the State" or 2) the spill exceeds one thousand gallons, (1,000 gallons) Spills that are fully contained and removed quickly and are less than one thousand gallons are not required to be reported to DWQ. However, a full spill report form will be filled out and kept on file. All spills must be logged in, regardless of size, and include the incident date, time, duration, approximate volume and name of respondent(s). SOURCE CONTROL AND CONTAINMENT PROCEDURES: Depending on the nature of the spill or overflow, the initial assessment should indicate the priority of source control and/or containment. 1) When the source can be isolated through valves, plugs or other methods, the flow should be discontinued immediately or reduced to the least possible volume. 2) If the pumps on the location are not operating the control panel should be checked as follows: a. Is the Power on? b. Check the breaker. c. If the breaker is closed, check the thermal overloads (external button). d. Is the overload good? Check the fuses, if you are trained to do so. e. Is the pump straining or clogged with debris? f. Do you smell a burnt motor? (contact from attached list) g. Is an electrician needed? (contact from attached list) 3) Containment methods will typically include; a. Sand or dirt dikes and dams (for small streams & creeks). b. Holes or pits (to prevent run off to surface waters). If the spill event resulted from an area wide power outage, you should contact Power Company and identify your site as critical. (Use the account number on the attached list.) If the problem is mechanical in nature, retrieve parts from inventory and make repairs. Re -order parts as they are used. If the problem results from a sewer blockage, call for a jet-rodding machine (contact contractor from attached list). SPILL RESPONSE PROCEDURES FOR SPILLS OCCURRING: ON MAJOR INTERCEPTOR / RIGHT OF WAY 1. Put up warning tape ("DANGER / CAUTION - DO NOT ENTER") around the SSO site to restrict access. 2. In open areas, remove debris and lime site. Rotor -till, if needed. Re -seed and mulch with straw. 3. In areas where there is under growth and small trees, flush area with potable water until no waste remains. Wait twelve to twenty four hours and then lime the area. Be certain that lime does not flush to the receiving stream. NOTE: DO NOT LIME, IF RAIN IS FORECASTED. IN CITIZEN'S YARD 1. Till entire affected area, if possible. Apply lime and follow with seed and straw. 2. If waste/debris is not visible, apply lime and 2 inches of top soil and mix thoroughly. Apply lime lightly, seed and mulch. ON ASPHALT OR CONCRETE 1. Set up containment at or near the storm drainage system. Do not let the spill enter the storm drain system. 2. Put up warning tape ("DANGER / CAUTION - DO NOT ENTER") around the SSO area. 3. Spread lime on spillage and sand or apply other material to a. depth of one inch. Let this material absorb for one hour, then sweep up. Dispose of debris appropriately. If spill is still evident, repeat application. 4. After removing the contaminated material, wash down area with high pressure water and bleach. 5. Pump the clean up materials and wash water into sanitary sewer. IN A CREEK OR STREAM 1. Take conductivity readings of the receiving stream upstream and downstream to determine where a temporary dam should be placed. 2. The dam should be constructed near a manhole which is accessible to the jet rodder and vacuum truck. 3. The dam should be placed below the spill as indicated by low conductivity readings. 4. Construct a dam sized to contain the flow of water, plus any flush water added during the clean up. 5. Station pumps at the clean-up site, one to use, one for backup. 6. Have a back hoe at the site for dam repairs as needed. 7. Wash down all of the rip rap along the stream bank until no residue is evident. 8. Put up warning tape ("DANGER / CAUTION - DO NOT ENTER") at spill site and 400 feet downstream. 9. Take upstream and downstream samples for fecal coliform. 10. Repeat sampling until normal, background counts are 200 fecal coliform colony forming units/100 mi. 11. If settled sludge is evident, sweep bottom until clean. 12. If creek or stream is recreational waters (swimming), notify the affected community and local officials, as soon as the problem is discovered.
