After receiving Barbara Sifford's phone call on November 18, 2008 regarding sewer
odors in certain areas of Longview, Jeff Menzel and I went to Longview the next day.
Our first stop was the Britton residence at 2001 Old Shelby Road. We told Lester
Britton that sewer odors could enter his home three ways; a dry trap, no trap on a
water fixture or a house sewer opening into the house. Lester has had three
plumbers visit his house. We suggested smoke testing the house sewers. Davis
Draughn, with the Town of Longview, indicated a willingness to help Lester with
the smoke testing. We observed a few inches of grease accumulated on the shelf in
the bottom of the man -hole behind Lester's house which we called to David's
attention. The grease may or may not have anything to do with area sewer odors.
We met with David and Carson Fisher, with Burke County, in David's office. Carson
thought he might be able to start adding chemicals to the Indian Hills Pump
Station wet well this week. We lifted the man -hole lid of the man hole that the
Indian Hills Pump Station discharges into. We observed a slight hydrogen
sulfide -chemical odor. The 18 inch gravity line stood half full even when the pump
station was not pumping. Davis will attempt to determine why the gravity line wants
to flood and correct same.
Anyone have new information regarding this matter please feel free to use this
address list. Roy Davis

Town of Long View Collection System
Permit No WQCS00310
Catawba County
Dear Mr. Draughn:
On Tuesday, November 18, 2008, in response to several odor complaints that have been reported
to the Division of Water Quality's (DWQ's) Mooresville Regional Office in the area of Long View and
Hickory sewer lines, I contacted Mr. Shawn Pennell ORC of Hickory Collection System. Mr. Pennell
subsequently contacted and arranged a meeting on Thursday, November 20, 2008, with representatives
of Burke County, Hildebran, Longview and Hickory collection system staff. Mr. Roy Davis, of DWQ's
Asheville Regional Office (ARO), was also contacted on Tuesday, November 18, 2008, and informed of
the odors from the collection system that are part of ARO's jurisdiction (Burke County).
On Thursday, November 20, 2008, the joint inspection started at the Indian Hills Pump Station
located in Burke County. The first odor complaint received by DWQ is located where the force main
from Indian Hills pump station goes into a gravity line. On the day of the inspection the odors were not
offensive. At the location of the second odor complaint, located at 2001 Old Shelby Road (Brittain
House), the odors were much more prominent than any other location inspected upstream on that day.
Samples were collected and analyzed along the sewer line -for hydrogen sulfide by Kin Ferrell with
Maryland Biochemical Company. No hydrogen sulfide was detected in the samples collected on
November 20, 2008.
Although no hydrogen sulfide was detected, odor, of a solvent nature, was identified during our
joint inspection. The Indian Hills Pump Station receives flow from a commercial washing facility
known as Kleen Tee. Kleen Tee washes used rags from many different sources some of which may
contain solvents . Kleen Tee's wastewater is regulated by the Hickory pretreatment program. A
compliance inspection, to be performed by DWQ's pretreatment program, has been scheduled to
evaluate Kleen Tee's pretreatment processes.

The odors discovered and verified in the Brittian home are thought to have been caused due to
improper venting or dry traps. It was discussed that the odors can be corrected by either installing a
back flow valve or p-trap on the lateral to the Long View sewer line. Long View should continue to
determine if any other facilities in their collection system could be discharging chemicals to cause the
odor problems in the downstream sewer.
During the odor investigation a serious operational issue was identified that needs to be corrected
immediately. Indian Hills pump station was identified to -be in disrepair and substantial maintenance is
needed. Specifically, the following:
1) A check valve was not holding on the pumps. Flow was returning to the wet well.
2) Several floats were tangled causing short pump runtime cycles.
3) An air release valve in the adjacent manhole to the station needs to be checked for proper
operation.
4) The area around the bar screen pit is littered with debris.
5) There is considerable corrosion of the can station. Severe corrosion has caused the ladder
rungs to deteriorate and may be a serious safety issue.
6) The bar screen needs to be cleaned.
7) The door to the pit is a potential hazard when open and could result in a person falling in the
pit.
In addition, the lines in the Long View collection system need to be cleaned to remove the grease
and debris that is built up in the manholes. The gravity line elevations at the railroad crossing need to be
checked to see what is causing the line to remain half full and possibly contributing to the odor issues.
I appreciate all the time that everyone has dedicated to addressing and trying to resolve the odor
problems for the community. Please keep me informed of any and all repairs made to the areas
identified in this letter. I have enclosed the Technical Assistance Inspection Report for the Town of
Longview and Burke County. Should you have any questions concerning the items identified in this
letter, please feel free to call me at 704-663-1699.

Comment: This manhole receives flow from Force Main line from both Indian Hill PS
and Cape Hickory PS. Concrete in good condition no visible signs of degradation from
hydrogen sulfide. The first odor complaint came from this area and also backs up in the
Burke Hosiery Mill at times. Both sides of the RR line were checked their might be
slight elevation differences but due to the flow should not cause septic conditions to
occur. Odors noted are more chemical in nature than septic.

Comment: Very low flow to this station. About 40 homes and MHP are all that is
connected. Hydrogen sulfie issues when present could be coming from this area, since
it flows into the same force main as Indian Hills PS. Detention times in the lines and
pump station flows need to be calulated.

Comment: Pump station was cycling excessively. Lead and lag pumps were on
several times. At least one of the check valves was not holding. The can station is
corroded and should be entered with caution as this is confined space work
environment. The bar screen has to be manually raked and is unprotected from and
slips or falls while doing so. The nature of the wastewater entering the PS has solvents
and detergents which can make this area a hazard for employees.

I went out to the Brittian House (old Shelby Road and the manhole on
main St at the RR tracks and everything was much better last week on
(12/3/08). The Brittian family said things were much better now and had
improved since 11/18/08 when the first complaint was made to MRO, so
something has been done to correct the problem. The industry has also
improved the wastewater treatment process and is planning additional
improvements after January 2009 to reduce the organics in the
discharge. Hopefully this has corrected the problem. At this time we
can just monitor the problem area and wait and see if everything
continues to improve.

Roy and Barbara - Just as an update - We did find that we had a coupling
going bad between one pump and motor that could have been causing some
longer sewer age due to inefficiencies. That coupling was replaced
approximately one week to ten days ago. We did not start the chemical feed
since Barbara expressed concern over possible explosive conditions with
potassium permanganate and toluene. We have had no calls in the last two
weeks regarding any odors at this location. Has anyone else gotten
complaints? Thanks, HCF

Thanks for the update, have the run times for Indian Hills PS changed
over the past several years. The product may be an oxidizer or adjust
the pH either should help with the odor. Hopefully Ms. Brittian will
feel better now that something is being done. I'll be in Raleigh
tomorrow but let me know how things go. Talk to you later.

♦ Operational Agreements are only required if the applicant is not a public
entity (Le. Town, County, etc.) or public utility as designated by the North
Carolina Utilities Commission AND the lots being served by the collection
system are to be sold to individual owners.
♦ If the applicant is a developer, they must fill out the DEVELOPER
Operational Agreement (FORM:. DEV 02/03). A developer may be
responsible for the system for an interim period until the homeowners
association is formed, at which time a Permit Name/Ownership Change
request (FORM: PNOCF 06/00) will be needed to transfer the permit to the
HOA.
♦ If the applicant is a homeowners' association (HOA), they must fill out the
ASSOCIATION Operational Agreement (FORM: HOA 02/03 The HOA must
be registered with the Secretary of State's office and must provide a copy of
the Associations' Bylaws and Articles of Incorporation. These documents

receipt of the package.
♦ Ensure that the owner accepted the entire volume of flow listed in application.
Wastewater industrial or domestic in nature?
♦ Most projects will be for wastewater that is domestic in nature, however, if Item B.6 indicates
that the wastewater is industrial in nature, notify the Regional Office Pretreatment
Coordinator or the WQ Pretreatment Unit Central Office to determine if a pretreatment permit
is needed or if a program already in place and. compliant.
2
FAST -TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003

Flow volume calculated correctly? 2H .0219(l)
♦ Ensure that the daily design flow in the application is based on the guidance provided in the
regulations or existing flow, and that the explanation as to how this volume was determined is
very specific (i.e., 22 three -bedroom homes, 50,000 s.f. of retail space, 18 employees, etc).
This information will be included in the description of the system in the permit. Our regs say
120 gpd/bedroom for residential. Note that for one -bedroom the minimum they can use is
240 gpd.
♦ If daily design flow is not based on regulations, ensure that the applicant has an approved
flow reduction of daily design flow rate on file with the Division. A list of approved flow
reductions may be obtained from the DWQ Intranet or by contacting the NDPU. Flow
reduction requests are to be reviewed by the central office, and must be reviewed and
approved before the application is accepted by the regional office for review.
♦ Ensure that the flows shown on the application match up to what is shown on the plans (if
'available for review). For example, if the application states that 100 lots are to be developed,
ensure that there are 100 lots, and not 150 lots, shown on the plans. Plans are only required
for review if the applicant is requesting a variance to the MDC or the .0200.'s.
♦ Do not approve "future" wastewater flows (i.e., that based on speculative development),
These would be permitted in future wastewater collection system extensions.
Adequate information provided regarding the proposed gravity sewer and/or force main (if
applicable)?
Note: An Environmental Assessment may be required if there are 3 miles of gravity sewer and
the design capacity is 1 MGD or greater (15A NCAC 1 C .0100). Note that this criteria is currently
under revision. Environmental Assessment projects can NOT go Fast -Track!
Adequate information provided regarding the proposed pump station(s) (if applicable)?
Note: An Environmental Assessment may be required if the pump station(s) have a design
capacity greater than 1 MGD or greater (15A NCAC 1 C .0100). If there are any questions about
whether an EA may be required, discuss with your supervisor or contact Todd Kennedy of the
Planning Branch's Local Government Assistance Unit.
♦ Power reliability at the pump station provided in accordance with Section 5.04 of the
Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and Force Mains
document (i.e dual line feed, portable generator w/telemetry, permanent generator with
automatic transfer switch, wet well storage if near Class C waters)?
Project designed in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0200, the Gravity Sewer Minimum Design
Criteria and the Minimum Design Criteria for the Fast -Track Permitting of Pump Stations and
Force Mains document (as applicable)? If NO, forward one copy of the supporting documents to
the Central Office for review, indicating the permit number, owner and proiect name. The Central
Office will review the variance request, and if approvable, specific language regarding the
variance will be forwarded to the Regional Office reviewer to incorporate into the permit. A copy
of the variance letter provided by the central office should be kept with the application file.
SECTION C — Watershed Classification
Topographic map submitted?
Watershed classification required? If YES, you are advised to "spot-check" the classification(s).
If NO, ensure the applicant/engineer has indicated why one is not required.
SECTION D —Certifications
Signing Official's signature? 2H .0206(b)
♦ Ensure that the applicant's signature is the same person as that listed as the applicant's
signing official on Page 1 of the application form.
PE stamped, signed, and dated application, plans, specifications, and calculations (if applicable)?
2H .0205(d)(1)(A)(iii)

FAST -TRACK Application Review Procedures 2003

or`
♦ Ensure that the same engineer has signed, sealed, and dated the application and all the
items, with the exception of items designed by specialty disciplines (i.e., architectural,
structural, plumbing, and electrical plans). If not, an explanation and/or authorization is
required.
Adequate information provided for the engineer/engineering firm?
PE with active license in North Carolina? 2H .0205(d)(1)(A)(iii) or 2H .0203(28)
♦ Ensure that ALL pertinent P.E.s have active licenses by checking the NC Professional
Engineer's Board web site (www.ncbels.org - the PE number must be six digits, use leading 0
when needed).
♦ If the PE seal number does not show up on the web site database, call the PE Board for
verification [phone] .
Drafting a Permit
♦ In order to be consistent, use the most current version of the Fast -Track permit shell (see DWQ
Intranet). This permit shell contains specific language with respect to the Minimum Design Criteria,
regulations, and collection system permitting. The NDPU will notify you of any changes to this permit
shell.
♦ Be specific with respect the system description and information. Indicate the flow, what the project
will be serving, length and size of gravity sewer lines and force mains, etc. For projects involving
pump stations, the size of the pump stations, as well as the reliability option and any additional info
(telemetry, odor control system, etc) should be included. A sample permit is on the DWQ Intranet.
♦ Add or remove any special conditions as necessary. Please call attention to any non-standard permit
conditions in the cover letter of the permit and include the permit condition where necessary. See the
Example Special Conditions document.
♦ If the project is a modification, don't forget to include the system description from the previous permit
and void the previous permit in the language!
Denying a Project
If the Reviewer/Supervisor determines that an application package should be denied because it can
not meet NC Statutes, rules or regulations, then a denial letter should be drafted. Special attention
should be paid to the statutory deadline for permitting. If it is thought that'a project might be
denied, it is important to review it and draft the denial letter as soon as possible. There must
be time allowed for the denial letter to be sent up to the Director and signed prior to the
statutory date.
The Reviewer should use the Application Denial Letter template to prepare a denial package for the
Supervisor's review and submittal to the Director for signature. The letter should not be dated, but
instead will be dated after the Director signs it. A memo to the Director should be attached to the top
of the denial package summarizing the reasons for denial. This package must be singed off on by the
reviewer, supervisor, Section Chief, and Director. Distribute the letter as directed in "Issuing a
Permit" below.
Issuing a Permit
♦ Permits should be signed only by those delegated to sign for the Director.
♦ Permits should be distributed as follows (include the signed Operational Agreement if applicable):
✓ Original to the Permittee
✓ Copy to the consulting engineer
✓ Copy to the county health department
✓ Copy to the Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Protection for all projects located
in Mecklenburg County
✓ Copy(ies) to the owner of the WWTF and owner of the downstream sewers (if different than the
Perm ittee)
✓ Electronic Copy and Hard Copy to the NDPU for our files
✓ Copy to Central Files (attach application package and any supporting documents)
✓ Save an electronic version named WQOOXXXXX.doc in a folder on your office shared drive or
hard drive. Try to keep your drafts and issued files separate.
