Muddy Creek is currently classified as Class C waters and is located in the Yadkin Pee -Dee river basin. Site Review Mr. Pegram has done an excellent job operating and maintaining the plant. The plant was clean and well maintained. There is still significant corrosion in the plant that should be addressed as soon as possible. This issue has been mentioned in the two inspection letters previous to this one (about two years). The plant is operated quite well and sludge/solids are being effectively managed. Odors at the plant were minimal. Documentation Review All documentation was reviewed and no discrepancies were found. Mr. Pegram has done an excellent job documenting the operation and maintenance of the plant as required by the permit. Thisincludes operations and'visitation logs, discharge monitoring reports, laboratory and field laboratory records, chains of custody, etc. The Division greatly appreciates the efforts of Aqua and Mr. Pegram in running these plants effectively and efficiently. Please consider an in-depth evaluation of the Frye Bridge WWTP to determine what can be done to address the corrosion problem at that plant. Please remember that violations of these NPDES permits, as well as the NC rules and regulations that implement them, are subject to civil penalties not to exceed $25,000 per violation, per day. If you have any questions regarding these inspections or this letter, please call Mr. Boone or me at (336) 776-9800. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Sincerely, Sherri V. Knight Asst.

Facility: Frye Bridge Wastewater Treatment Plant NPDES Permit #: NCO065587 Forsyth County Dear Mr. Roberts: Donald R. van der Vaart Secretary Ron Boone of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR or the Division) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) of the Frye Bridge Wastewater.Treatm4nt Plant (WWTP) on May 19, 2015. The assistance and cooperation of Sam Pegram, Operator in Responsible Charge, was greatly appreciated. An inspection checklist is attached for your records and inspection findings are summarized below. General Information The Frye Bridge Wastewater Treatment Plant is located in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, NC at approximate coordinates 35.988913°N, 80.353408°W. The permit authorizes Aqua to operate this 0.027 MGD WWTP, which consists of a bar screen, aeration basin, clarifier, aerated sludge holding tank, tablet chlorinator, chlorine contact chamber, tablet dechlorinator, and post aeration. The permit authorizes Aqua to discharge the treated effluent from the WWTP via outfall 001 to an unnamed tributary to Muddy Creek. Muddy Creek is currently classified as Class C waters and is located in the Yadkin Pee -Dee river basin. Site Review Mr. Pegram has done an excellent job operating and maintaining the plant. The plant was clean and well maintained, except for a significant amount of corrosion in the plant. This was noted in the last inspection as well and nothing has been done to address it yet. The plant is operated quite well and sludge/solids are being effectively managed. Odors at the plant were minimal. Documentation Review All documentation was reviewed and no discrepancies were found. Mr. Pegram has done an excellent job documenting the operation and maintenance of the plant as required by the permit. This includes 450 West Hanes Mill Road, Suite #300, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27105 .

[maiIto: PSDodge@aquaamerica.com] Sent: Monday, November 04, 2013 3:08 PM To: Kieran Connolly Subject: OUTSIDE TAP REQUEST - 5308 GRAYCLIFF LN Kieran, Aqua agrees to provide sewer service to this location under the condition that Aqua does not have ownership of the service line from Aqua's existing manhole to the house. This line would be owned by the property owner and the property owner would be responsible for all operational and maintenance needs. The property owner would also be responsible for acquiring all easements needed to connect the sewer service line running from the house to Aqua's existing manhole. The sewer capacity fee for the reservation of capacity in Aqua's existing facility will be $3,600 and will be required to be paid prior to connecting to Aqua's facility. Please see attached application for completion and return this with the $3600 payment. Once the connection has been made the sewer account will be activated and the applicant will begin being charged the monthly sewer fee for sewer service. In addition, the connection may require permitting to be done pursuant to the permitting regulations of NCDENR [15A NCAC 02T .0303]. Your engineer will need to reach out to NCDENR to discuss permitting requirements. If permitting is required please let me know and I will direct you to Aqua's staff engineer for further assistance. Please let me know if I can help further.

You can have the engineer compress the file in a zip folder and send the plan to me electronically. Aqua's standard operating procedure requires the lot to front a main. This particular location does not front a sewer main. I've been told serving this lot would require a line to be installed behind one or two homes and then extend to Aqua's existing manhole on Moss Creek. In addition, the request was originally made in 2011 and would require current review of the proposed connection and Aqua would need to determine if it still has capacity in its WWTP to serve the property. I look forward to receiving the plan. As soon as it is received it will be forwarded to the Area Manager for consideration. Have a good day Kieran.

Unusable (or "dead") sludge will be removed by a contract hauler and properly disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1. Contract haulers used by Aqua N.C., Western Division will be required to report the quantity of sludge transported and identify the location of the proposed disposal site .if the sludge is not taken to an existing plant operated by Aqua N.C., Western Division. Aqua N.C., Western Division has not entered into any agreement to accept sludge into its facilities from plants not owned by them. Aqua N.C., Western Division will keep records on the quantity of sludge removed from each facility, the name of the contract hauler, and the destination of the sludge (whether used in another plant or disposed of).

Facility: Frye Bridge Wastewater Treatment Plant NPDES Permit #: NCO065587 Forsyth County Dear Mr. Roberts: Resources John E. Skvarla, III Secretary Ron Boone of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ or the Division) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) of the Frye Bridge Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) on May 23, 201.3. The assistance and cooperation of George Gatewood, Backup Operator in Responsible Charge, was greatly appreciated. An inspection checklist is attached for your records and inspection findings are summarized below. General Information The Frye Bridge Wastewater Treatment Plant is located in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, NC at approximate coordinates 35.9889130N, 80.353408°W. The permit authorizes Aqua to operate this 0.027 MGD WWTP, which consists of a bar screen, aeration basin, clarifier, aerated sludge holding tank, tablet chlorinator, chlorine contact chamber, tablet dechlorinator, and post aeration. The permit authorizes Aqua to discharge the treated effluent from the WWTP via outfall 001 to an unnamed tributary to Muddy Creek. Muddy Creek is currently classified as Class C waters and is located in the Yadkin Pee -Dee river basin. Site Review Mr. Gatewood has done an excellent job operating and maintaining the plant. The plant was clean and well maintained, except for a significant amount of corrosion in the plant that Mr. Gatewood stated hasn't resulted in any problems or failures. This was noted in the last inspection as well. The plant is operated quite well and sludge/solids are being effectively managed. Odors at the plant were minimal.

Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual AveraVe The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. B ass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Dav The period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single; continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1 /24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment. system, or (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director.

Facility: Frye Bridge Wastewater Treatment Plant NPDES Permit #: NCO065587 Forsyth County Dear Mr. Roberts: Dee Freeman Secretary Mr. Ron Boone of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ or the Division) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) of the Frye Bridge Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) on February 15th, 2011. The assistance and cooperation of Mr. Robert Ashley during the inspection, as well as that of Mr. Mike Barker, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), was greatly appreciated. An inspection checklist is attached.for your records and inspection findings are summarized below. General Information The Frye Bridge Wastewater Treatment Plant is located in Winston-Salem, Forsyth County, NC at approximate coordinates 35.988913N, 80.353408W. The permit authorizes Aqua NC Inc. to operate this 0.027 MGD WWTP, which consists of an inlet bar screen, an aeration basin, a clarifier, an aerated sludge holding tank, a tablet chlorinator, a chlorine contact chamber, a tablet dechlorinator, and post aeration. The permit authorizes�,Aqua NC Inc. to discharge the treated effluent from the WWTP into an unnamed tributary to Muddy Creek via outfall 001. Muddy Creek is currently classified as Class C waters and is located in the Yadkin Pee Dee River basin. Site Review Mr. Barker has done a good job of operating and maintaining the plant. For the most part the plant was fairly clean and well maintained. The only issue Mr. Boone noted was that there was quite a large amount of corrosion on the plant, especially on the aeration basin. Aqua should strongly consider taking some action to either stop or at least inhibit the corrosion process before it negatively affects the treatment process. The plant seems to be operated North Carolina Division of Water Quality, Winston-Salem Regional Office Location: 585 Waughtown St. Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27107 Phone: 336-771-50001 FAX: 336-771-46301 Customer Service:1-877-623-6748 Internet: www.ncwaterqualiV.org An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer NorthCarolina AMWAY Aqua North Carolina Inc Attn: Thomas J.

Odors were minimal at the plant. Documentation Review All documentation was reviewed. No discrepancies were found. Mr. Barker has done a great job of documenting the operation and maintenance of the plant as required by the permit. This includes his operations and visitation logs, his discharge monitoring reports and laboratory and field laboratory records, chains of custody, etc. Please be aware that, in accordance with NC General Statute 143-215.6A, the Director of the Division of Water Quality may assess civil penalties not to exceed $25,000 per. day, per violation, for violations of the NC0065587 NPDES permit.

Sammy Pegram (ORC), George Gatewood, Tony Parker and Delbert Likins with Aqua NC were also present for the inspection. The inspection consisted of two parts: an on --site inspection of the treatment facility and a file review. The following are the findings from the subject inspection.. I. Permit The NPDES permit for the Frye Bridge WWTP became effective June 1, 2002 and expires 'on May 31, 2009. The permitted components of the 0.027 MGD wastewater treatment plant include: an aeration basin, clarifier, aerated sludge holding tank, chlorine contact chamber, dechlorination and post aeration. The Frye Bridge WWTP is located at NCSR 2998 near Clemmons in Forsyth County North Carolina. The facility is authorized to discharge from the above treatment works into an unnamed tributary to Muddy Creek, a class C water in the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin. II. Records/Reports Operations records include all sample analyses and process control tests that are performed. The ORC's daily logbook was evaluated and found to be satisfactory. DMR's were available for the period requested. A complete copy of the NPDES permit was on site. The daily operator and maintenance logs were on site. Flow meter calibration records and flow charts were available at the inspection. Flow meter calibration was last conducted on July 26, 2008. A spill response plan was available and emergency contact information was posted on the gate. The inspector called this number and the answering service did not know how to handle the call. The inspector was forwarded to an automated call center that has been problematic in the past. Please continue to review proper handling procedures. An annual report for the year 2007 was available at the inspection. Please remember to submit your annual report for 2008. Annual reports must be submitted within 60 days of the end of the applicable review period, either a calendar year or fiscal year. As this.-;o facility has previously submitted a calendar year report, your report will be due March 1. Sammy Pegram is the designated ORC for this facility. III. Facility Site Review The facility site review indicated that the 0.027 MGD treatment works is consistent with the permitted components. The actual permitted treatment system consists of an aeration basin, clarifier, aerated sludge holding tank, chlorine contact chamber, dechlorination and.post aeration. The chlorine contact chamber had been pumped the previous day and had not yet refilled.

Effluent / Receiving Stream The WWTP discharges to an unnamed tributary to Muddy Creek, which is a classified C water in the Yadkin Pee Dee River Basin. There was no effluent on the date of inspection. The receiving stream was free of solids, foam and debris. V. Flow Measurement Effluent flow is measured with an Isco 4210 flow meter, which was last calibrated by Horizon on July 26, 2008. VI. Self -Monitoring Program A review of the discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) for the time period of January 2008 through December 2008 demonstrated that the Frye Bridge WWTP had no permit limit violations for 2008. VII. Laboratory Sample analyses are conducted by Watertech. The laboratory was not reviewed at the time of the subject inspection. However, it was noted that some chain of custody forms were not properly signed by this lab, this was noted in a previous inspection. VIII. Operation and Maintenance Operation and maintenance continue to improve. IX. Sludge Utilization/Disposal Solids are removed from the WWTP as necessary by a licensed contract hauler and disposed of properly. Most recently 6,400 gallons were removed by Forsyth Rooter on December 29, 2008. X. Sewer Overflow No sewer overflows were reported during the review period. The Division of Water Quality greatly appreciates your continued oversight at this facility and notes that operations are much improved from last years inspection. The Division encourages you to continue to be proactive in.your efforts to maintain compliance. Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments.

We will need to get the Maps we sent to Aqua in October for theses systems: Salem Glen Spring Creeks Forest Ridge Mebille Pennman in order to re -construct these CMOM's.. We will need to go back out on site to. complete these CMOM's. Also Aqua will need to add it's own Spill Response Plan, which will include complete list of equipment, maintenance schedules for systems and equipment, contact numbers etc.. Previously Atlantic Utility implemented it's own Spill Response Plan for Aqua NC CMOM's while Atlantic Utility was contract operating Aqua NC W WTP. As soon as we receive the Maps we will begin work on the the above mentioned CMOM.

Easley, Governor Q' \Q G William G. Ross Jr., Secretary Cq North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources May7, 2008 Coleen H. Sullins, Director y Division of Water Quality Mr. Tom Roberts, President Aqua North Carolina, Inc. 202 Mackenan Avenue Cary, North Carolina 27511 SUBJECT: WQCSDO187 Collection System Inspection Frye Bridge Subdivision Forsyth County Dear Mr. Roberts: An inspection. of your collection system was conducted on March 26, 2008 by Rose Pruitt of this office. Tim Waddell, Atlantic Utility, Inc. provided the relevant compliance information on the facility. An earlier informational letter was sent to Aqua North Carolina that detailed the requirements for collectionsystems that are deemed to be permitted. I would like to remind you that these requirements for sewer collection systems were first established in 15 NCAC .02H .0200 in March 2000 and are now found in 15 NCAC 2T .0403. 1. Pump Station Inspections- The single pump station in this system has telemetry and emergency alarms therefore it must only be inspected weekly when telemetry is operable. The operator noted that the station is inspected weekly. During periods that telemetry was not functioning, inspections should have been daily. 2. O & M Plan- The operation and maintenance plan must list the preventative maintenance schedule, spare parts inventory, included an overflow response plan and testing frequency for emergency equipment. The overflow response plan appeared to be complete except for a list of contractors and construction crews. 3. Collection System Map -A map of the collection system must be available and maintained with any. additions to the system. The map should indicate the line size,' pipe material, flow direction, approximate age of the sewer, pump station capacities, any high priority lines and number of active service taps. Please confirm the compliance status for the map within 30 days to include the location of the pump station its capacity and the lots in Bridgepoint. 4. High Priority Lines- These sections of sewer include aerial lines, lines contacting surface waters, sub -waterway crossings, siphons., and sections of sewer parallel to stream banks which are subject to erosion and the potential for failure of the sewer line. High priority lines must be inspected every six (6) months and a log maintained With dates, inspection methods, and corrective actions taken or planned. These should be identified on the Collection System Map as noted above. The new log meets all requirements... 5. Right -of Way- The sewer line right-of-ways should be maintained to allow access to the . sewer lines for inspection and repair. The dates of the work performed can be noted on the map or a log could be used for documentation. 6. Observation- A general observation of the entire system must be conducted every year and a log (or map) should be maintained to document these observations. Where there are areas that are visible to the general public, right of way maintenance has been conducted or where sewer cleaning has occurred, the "observation" requirement has essentially been met for that section of line. The lines that are not normally seen by the public or maintenance crews are of main concern for this "observation " requirement. The log met all requirements. Nof1e Carolina NturallY North Carolina Division of Water Quality 585 Waughtown Street Phone (336) 771-5000 Customer Service Winston-Salem Regional Office Winston-Salem, NC 27107 Fax (336) 771-4630 1-877-623-6748 Internet: www.newaterguality.org An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer-50% Recycled/10% Post Consumer Paper 7. Grease education- Privately owned collection systems must distribute grease education materials to the users of the system twice every year. (Attached is an example of the type bilingual mailer that has been used by others). If sewer overflows are caused by grease, these documents shall be distributed more often. Please confirm the proposed distribution schedule for the grease education materials. 8. Overflows- Any sewer overflows or bypasses that reach surface waters or exceed 1000 gallons (on the ground) must be reported within 24 hours to the Division. (Reporting after hours or on weekends and holidays should be to the Division of Emergency Management at 1-800-858-0368 or 1-919-733-3300). A follow-up 5-day report is also required which verifies the cause of the spill and any actions taken to diminish the impacts and to prevent a recurrence. A press release to all electronic and print news media outlets that provide general coverage in the county where the discharge occurred is required within 48-hours of first knowledge of the spill for all discharges of at least 1000 gallons to surface waters. If there is a spill of at least 15,000 gallons to surface waters a public notice must also -be issued in a newspaper having general circulation in the County where the spill occurred and in the County immediately downstream. Contact this office if you need any forms or further information on this topic. Records of the spills that are less than 1000 gallons and do not reach surface waters should also be maintained as this information can be utilized to identify obstructions to the lines or excessive infiltration / inflow (1/1). This requirement must be complied with immediately for any overflows or bypasses. 9. Documentation- Maintain all documentation for at least 3 years. 10. Prevent Discharges- Maintain and operate the system, "at all times to prevent discharge to land or surface waters, and to prevent any contravention of groundwater standards or surface water standards". It is recommended that older sewer systems and systems that have experienced repeated overflows have at least 10% of the system cleaned each year. Smaller systems not experiencing overflows, should clean half of the system every five years or 1/3 every three years and a record of this information should be maintained for review. You may wish to check the website on collection systems at: <http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/peres/Collection%20SystemsICoIleGtionSystemsHome.htm1> Please respond to this office within 30 days to confirm the status of the update to the map and the distribution of the grease education materials: 'Records indicated that the auto dialer was malfunctioning for many weeks. Failure to inspect the pump station daily during this period was a violation of 15A NCAC 02T .0403 (a) (4) and is subject to enforcement.
