From:, Mickey, Mike Sent: Monday, July 13, 2015 1:19 PM To: Scott, Michele; Jones, Diann . Subject:. NCO046809 - Cornerstone Conference Center WWTP Michelle or Diann —There is a fecal coliform violation in BIMS that is incorrectly attributed to the December 2014 DMR for Cornerstone (see below). The December DMR states "No Discharge" for the entire month and has no fecal data. As best as I can determine, it appears that the January 2015 DMR was incorrectly entered as the December report and also entered for January as the data is identical. Can you check on this and then amend the December BIMS data if necessary? I have attached both reports. Thanks, Mike.

Conference Center P.O. Box 150 Browns Summit, NC 27214-0150 SUBJECT: Compliance Sampling Inspection Cornerstone Conference Ministry Center WWTP NPDES Permit No. NCO046809 Guilford County Dear Mr. Gaines: Donald van der Vaart Secretary On April 30, 2015, Mike Mickey of this office met with Patrick Merritt and Mark Nault to perform a Compliance Sampling Inspection on the wastewater treatment system serving the Cornerstone Conference Ministry Center. The inspection findings are detailed below and an inspection checklist is attached. I. Permit The NPDES permit expires next on April 30, 2016. At renewal, the permit will require that the monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) be submitted electronically per new EPA rules. H. Self -Monitoring Program The DMRs were reviewed for the period April 2014 through March 2015 (see data summary attached). The facility was found to be compliant with the final NPDES effluent limits for the above period except for a fecal coliform daily maximum violation that occurred on January 16, 2015. This violation was previously addressed in correspondence from this office. With regards to the permit monitoring requirements, it was noted that all sampling was performed per the frequencies specified in the permit. One recordkeeping issue involved the late submittal of the October 2014 DMR as referenced in the March 31, 2015. Notice of Violation letter from our Raleigh office. The DMR was finally received in our Central Office on April 24, 2015. Grab samples of the effluent were collected during the inspection. The sample results from the Division of Water Resource's laboratory are shown in the attached data summary. The BOD, TSS and fecal coliform values were found to be compliant with the daily maximum limits in the permit. III. Flow Measurement The permit requires instantaneous flow reporting for the effluent. No flow was reported to have occurred from the treatment system for the months of April, May, August, September, October, November, December and February. IV. Sludge Handling and Disposal No solids were removed from the digester in calendar years 2013 and 2014. 450 West Hanes Mill Road, Suite 300, Winston-Salem, NC 27105 Phone: 336-776-9800 \ Internet: www.ncwaterguality.org An Equal Opportunity\Affirmative Action Employer —Made in part by recycled paper Mr. Darrell Gaines Page 2 May 13, 2015 V. Operations and Maintenance No problems or concerns were noted with the operation and maintenance of the system. VI. Facility Site Review The existing 0.02 MGD treatment system consists of the following: splitter box (not used); dual in -ground 0.01 MGD package plants (only one package plant unit is utilized due to low influent flows) with bar screens; aeration basins; clarifiers; tertiary filters (inoperable); non -aerated sludge holding; a tablet chlorinator with contact tank followed by a single tablet dechlorinator unit. It was noted that samples were collected from the contact chamber which is prior to the dechlor unit due to the small amount of flow from the facility. If possible, samples of the effluent should be collected after all final treatment. VII. Records/Reports A comparison of the March 2015 monitoring report with the corresponding laboratory data sheets from Meritech found that all values were transcribed onto the DMR correctly. VM. Effluent/Receiving Waters The system discharges into an unnamed tributary to Benaja Creek, class "WS-V; NSW" waters in the Cape Fear River Basin. The outfall was buried in the stream bank and could not be located. Should you have any questions concerning this report, please contact Mike Mickey or me at (336) 776-9800. Sincerely, Sherri V.

I analyzed the sample for NH3 and TP as requested, and wanted to share some information with you. As you noted on the field sheet, the sample was chlorinated and the samples received at the lab had a very strong odor of chlorine. Due to the chlorine, it was necessary to de -chlorinate a portion of sample that had not been acid -preserved in the field. So I took a portion of sample from the bottle submitted for TSS. With that sample portion, I first used chlorine test strips to determine the concentration, which the strips indicated was —2 ppm. Then I added sodium thiosulfate to remove the chlorine, and then 25% sulfuric acid to adjust pH to <2. For NH3 analysis, I analyzed the de -chlorinated sample above, plus the acid -preserved sample that you had submitted for NH3. Based on sample spikes, the chlorine in the acid -preserved sample did affect analysis. So the reported value for NH3 is from the de -chlorinated sample (which had acceptable spike recovery). Since the reported result for NH3 is from a sample portion that was not acid -preserved in the field, the result is being qualified with J6. This is simply to note the fact, and does not invalidate the result. I was able to complete de -chlorination and analysis less than 27 hours from the time of collection, so I feel that the NH3 result is certainly valid. This does not affect Total Phosphorus, as chlorine is not an issue and the analysis was from the acid -preserved sample that you submitted. I know that this is probably more than you need to know, but thought it was worth explaining. I appreciate the information that you included on the field sheet — it was very helpful in determining how to proceed for analysis. If you have any questions, please let me know.

Any other use of ultrasonic extraction is considered a "significant modification" of the EPH Method. Ref: MADEP, May 2004, Rev. 1.1, Table 4. Comment: The laboratory uses a modified version of the soil/sediment extraction process from the MADEP VPH method, substituting acetone for methanol. Comment: The complete list of approved EPH extraction procedures for water and soil/sediment samples is presented in Table 4. Alternative extraction procedures other than those listed are acceptable, provided that the laboratory can document acceptable matrix- and petroleum product -specific performance. However, use of an alternative extraction procedure is considered a "significant modification" of the EPH method pursuant to Section 11.3.1.1 and as such would preclude obtaining "presumptive certainty" status for any analytical data produced using an alternative EPH extraction procedure. Ref: MADEP, May 2004, Rev. 1.1, Section 9.1. Comment: Any method modification approval must come from the data receiving agency (i.e., the Division of Waste Management, UST Section). cccc. Finding: Units of measure were not documented on the EPH extraction log in the column for fractionation. Requirement: 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. Ref: 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (a) (7) (H). Field Parameters Comment: The laboratory performs two types of field parameter analyses. They have one certified WWTP operator that operates Crown MHP (NPDES permit #NC0055255), Burlington Mfg. Services (NPDES permit #NC0001384), Cornerstone Conference Center (NPDES permit #NC0046809), Stone Highway (NPDES permit #NC0060623), Quail Acres (NPDES permit #NC0059251), Countryside Manor (NPDES permit #NC0073571), and Haw River Park (NPDES permit #NC0046019). Other laboratory employees collect river basin samples for the North Carolina Monitoring Coalition Program. The WWTP operator and Monitoring Coalition samplers use different benchsheets.

Each laboratory requesting certification must contain or be equipped with the following: Glassware, chemicals, supplies, and equipment required to perform all analytical procedures included in their certification. A Division letter dated August 14, 2001 states: "This letter serves as notification to facilities with effluent permit limits for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) that effective July 1, 2002, the Division of Water Quality expects these facilities to utilize an instrument or method that will detect and measure TRC concentrations to levels that are below the permit discharge requirements. Please note that if a facility has no effluent limit for TRC Oust a monitoring requirement), then use of a hand-held meter, sometimes described as a pocket colorimeter, and the reporting of <100 pg/L as a TRC value is acceptable. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State have determined that in the interest of overall program equity, to ensure water quality protection, and to comply with 15A NCAC 2B .0505 (e) (4), the Division will require all facilities with TRC limits to utilize instruments or methods that will produce detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements for TRC." The laboratory was using a pocket colorimeter at all of the NPDES permit facilities listed in the above comment and they all have low level TRC limits. It was determined that the laboratory initially purchased a meter capable of low level TRC analysis, but returned to using the pocket colorimeter when the meter did not work well. The laboratory has been using the pocket colorimeter since approximately 2009. A Notice of Finding for Immediate Response (NOFIR) was issued to the laboratory regarding this issue and a copy was provided to the Winston-Salem Regional Office staff. The laboratory replied to the NOFIR with an acceptable curve verification on an approved meter and indicated that the approved meter would be put into use beginning June 9, 2014. No further response is necessary for this finding. Recommendation: The inconsistencies between the benchsheets used by the two field units are the cause of several of the Field Parameters Findings. Merging the existing benchsheets into one or creating a new benchsheet (to be used by both units) that will encompass all of the needs for both units is recommended. aBmORATQ,Rl7 NAME: ADDRESS: CERTIFICATE #: QA"Tc�N-S I TION: TYPE OF INSPECTION: AUDITOR(S): LOCAL PERSON(S) CONTACTED: INTRODUCTION: On -Site Inspection Report eritech C.

II. GENERAL COMMENTS: The laboratory was clean and well organized. The facility has all the equipment necessary to perform the analyses. Analytical data pertinent to each certified analysis was filed in an orderly manner and was readily available for inspection upon request. Laboratory personnel were accessible to answer questions that arose during the inspection. Some laboratory documentation was incomplete, inaccurate and additional quality control procedures need to be implemented. The laboratory must take steps to bring operations into compliance with changes in federal regulations, particularly 40 CFR Part 136 Methods Update Rules; the most recent was published on May 18, 2012. Many Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) were in direct conflict with method and/or regulatory requirements, did not describe in detail how procedures are performed and personnel were not always following the procedures as described in the SOPs. The laboratory is reminded that any time changes are made to laboratory operations; the laboratory must update the Quality Assurance (QA)/Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) document(s). Any changes made in response to the Findings, Recommendations or Comments listed in this report must be incorporated to insure the method is being performed as stated, references to methods are accurate, and the QA and/or SOP document(s) is in agreement with approved practice and regulatory requirements. In some instances, the laboratory may need to create a SOP to document how new functions or policy will be implemented. The laboratory must also take steps to insure that all personnel are aware of the changes made; that they have fully implemented those changes and steps have been taken (e.g., detailed SOPs and guidance documents, documented training and demonstration of proficiency with new procedures, etc.) to prevent recurrence of findings. The requirements associated with Findings A, N, O, P, Q, T, HH, KK, YY, ZZ, LLL, MMM, and HHHH have been implemented by our program since the last inspection. III. FINDINGS, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: Documentation Recommendation: The laboratory currently maintains only the most recent SOP revision date. It is recommended that SOP review dates, in addition to revision dates, be maintained. It is recommended that SOPs include a revision and review history with relevant dates (e.g., effective, review and revision dates) and a brief description of the change(s) made. Recommendation: Copies of each reference method are included in each SOP. However, the introduction section, which lists the approval year for Standard Methods methods, is not included to verify that the document is actually the most recently approved version.

Thorpe, Ph.D., Acting Director Division of Water Quality August 14, 2001 Dear NPDES Permittee: This letter serves as notification to facilities with effluent permit limits for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) that effective July 1, 2002, the Division of Water Quality expects these facilities to utilize an instrument or method that will detect and measure TRC concentrations to levels that are below the permit discharge requirements. Please note that if a facility has no effluent limit for TRC (just a monitoring requirement), then use of a hand-held meter, sometimes described as a pocket colorimeter, and the reporting of <100 ug/L as a TRC value is acceptable. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the State have determined that in the interest of overall program equity, to ensure water quality protection, and to comply with 15A NCAC 2B .0505(e)(4), the Division will require all facilities with TRC limits to utilize instruments or methods that will produce detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements for TRC. North Carolina has hundreds of NPDES permitted facilities that are required to limit the amount of TRC that is discharged from their effluent to the receiving waters of the State. Typically these limits are set at either 17 or 28 micrograms per liter (ug/L) of wastewater discharged. The EPA has approved two methods for low-level TRC analyses: the Amperometric Titration Method and the.DPD Colorimetric Method. The Amperometric Titration Method is a classic chemistry analysis perfonned in a laboratory setting. Larger facilities with on -site laboratories frequently use this method and achieve reliable, low- level results of their testing. Many permitted facilities with TRC limits are small and/or have no on -site laboratory. Because TRC must be analyzed within 15 minutes of sample collection due to its volatile nature, these facilities are not able to send these samples out for analysis to a commercial lab. They must rely on a field technique, which will typically utilize the low-level DPD Colorimetric Method. There are portable instruments available that have the capability of analyzing TRC in the range of 10-15 ug/L. The Division realizes that changing the method of TRC measurement will not be without difficulty on the part of the permittees. The permittees will have to evaluate and purchase or otherwise obtain access to instruments and become both educated and proficient in their use. Please be advised while these instruments are advertised as portable, permittees may have to prepare special on -site facilities to ensure their most reliable operation. For these.reasons, permittees will not be required to use the more sensitive instruments until July 1, 2002, If you have questions about the contents of this letter, please contact Vanessa Manuel at (919) 733-5083, extension 532.

To: NPDES Permittees Subject: Total Residual Chlorine 50 ug/1 Compliance Level Michael F. Easley, Governor State of North Carolina William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary Department of Environment and Natural Resources Coleen K Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality In a previous letter dated August 14, 2001, the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) notified NPDES p6rmittees that water/wastewater treatment facilities with Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) effluent limits would be required to use analytical methods that produce detection levels below their permit limit by July 1, 2002. [Note: TRC permit limits are typically set between 17 to 28 ug/1 for discharge to freshwater systems, and 13 ug/l for discharge to saltwater systems]. This requirement was based on an Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) audit of the NC enforcement program. It was also necessary to ensure water quality protection and compliance with state monitoring regulations [15A NCAC 2110505(e)(4)]. Since that time, DWQ has received several inquiries regarding difficulties with the new analytical methods, primarily focused on 1) lack of precision with field instrumentation at low TRC levels for both water and wastewater treatment plants; and 2) manganese interference with TRC measurement at several water treatment plants. Some facilities have overcome these problems through various changes, such as: 1) switching dechlorination chemicals; 2) adding a second dechlorination feed; 3) changing analytical methods; 4) incorporating manganese correction; 5) switching to LTV disinfection; 6) removing sludge from water treatment plant settling basins. Also, the DWQ Laboratory Certification staff have provided extensive field assistance for the new lab methods. Still, some analytical issues remain. In response to the permittee's concerns, the Division is providing the following changes to its TRC requirements: ❑ TRC Compliance Level Changed to 50 ua/1. DWQ continued discussions with EPA regarding analytical difficulties with TRC measurements, and in March 2008 received EPA approval to allow .a 50 ug/1 TRC compliance level. This will not change the analysis, annual verification of meter performance, or data reporting, but simply how the reported values will be evaluated by DWQ from a compliance standpoint. Facilities will still be required to report actual results on their monthly DMR submittals, but for compliance purposes all TRC values below 50 ug/1 will be treated as zero. For example, if the facility has a TRC limit of 17 ug/1 and reports a TRC value of 40'ug/1 on the DMR, this value will be considered compliant under this new policy. This new compliance level is effective March 1, 2008 (beginning with March 2008 DMR submittals). DWQ will continue to incorporate TRC effluent limitations into NPDES permits for all water/wastewater treatment facilities that discharge chlorine -bearing wastestreams to surface waters. While this new TRC compliance level of 50 ug/1 is effective beginning March 1, 2008, it will be incorporated into existing NPDES permits with TRC effluent limits upon permit renewal. At that time, the following TRC footnote language will added to the Effluent Limitations Sheet: "The facility shall report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC certified laboratory including field certified. However, effluent values below 50 ug/1 will be treated as zero for compliance purposes."

Box 150 Browns Summit, NC 27214-0150 SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Cornerstone Conference Ministry Center WWTP NPDES Permit No, NCO046809 Guilford County Dear Mr. Gaines: On April 17, 2014, Mike Mickey of this office met with you and Mark Nault, ORC, to perform a Compliance Evaluation Inspection 'on the wastewater treatment system serving the Cornerstone Conference Ministry Center. The facility was found to be in compliance with the effluent limits of the NPDES permit. The inspection findings are detailed below and an inspection checklist is attached for your records. I. Permit The NPDES permit was issued effective May 1, 2011 and expires on April 30, 2016. H. Self -Monitoring Program The monthly self -monitoring reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period February 2013 through January 2014 (see data summary attached). The facility was found to be compliant with the final NPDES effluent limits for the above period. With regards to the permit monitoring requirements, it was noted that all sampling was performed per the frequencies specified in the permit. One recordkeeping concern involved the late submittal of several monitoring reports. Specifically, the monthly reports for November 2013, December 2013, January 2014 and February 2014 were not submitted on time. Please note that the NPDES permit [Part H, Section A(2)] states that the DMRs shall be postmarked no later than the last calendar day of the month following the completed reporting period (i.e., the February 2014 DMR should be postmarked on or before March 31, 2014). . Additionally, it was noted that Marc. Nault is signing the back of the DMRs as the Permittee. The permit [Part If, Section B(11)] requires that the permit holder sign all reports unless a duly authorized representative has been designated. If you wish for someone to sign for you, please submit a Delegation of Signature Authority letter for our files (see example attached). III. Flow Measurement The permit requires instantaneous flow reporting for the effluent. The ORC uses ajar to catch the discharge from the chlorinator unit to estimate flow. The reported values ranged from a high of 7,000 gpd to a low of 100 gpd. No flow was reported for the months of May, November and December. N.C.

Sludge Handling and Disposal No solids were removed from the system in 2013. V. Operations and Maintenance The facility appeared to be competently operated and maintained. No problems or concerns were noted. VI. Facility Site Review The existing 0.02 MGD treatment system consists of the following: splitter box (not used); dual in -ground package plants (only the right -side package plant unit is utilized due to low influent flows) with bar screens; aeration basins; clarifiers; tertiary filters (inoperable); non -aerated sludge holding units; tablet chlorinators and contact tanks; followed by a single tablet dechlorinator unit. VH. Records/Reports A comparison of the January 2014 self -monitoring report with the corresponding operator's log and laboratory data sheets from Meritech indicated that all values were transcribed onto the DMR correctly. VIR. Effluent/Receiving Waters The system discharges into an unnamed tributary to Benaja Creek, class "WS-V; NSW" waters in the Cape Fear River Basin. The outfall could not be located as it appeared to be buried in the stream bank. Should you have any questions concerning this report, please contact Mike Mickey or me at (336) 771-5000.

Box 150 Browns Summit, NC 27214-0150 Natural Resources SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Cornerstone Conference & Resource Center WWTP NPDES Permit No. NCO046809 Guilford County Dear Mr. Gaines: Dee Freeman Secretary On February 15, 2012, Mike Mickey of this office met with Mark Nault, ORC, to perform a Compliance Evaluation Inspection on the wastewater treatment system serving the Cornerstone Conference & Resource Center. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: an in office file review and an on -site inspection of the treatment facility. The treatment facility was found to be noncompliant with the effluent limits in the NPDES permit. The attached EPA inspection form notes the eight (8) areas that were evaluated. The findings and observations are outlined below: I. Permit The NPDES permit was recently reissued with an effective date of May 1, 2011. II. Self -Monitoring Program The monthly self -monitoring reports (DMR's) were reviewed for the period January 2011 through December 2011. The facility was found to be noncompliant with final NPDES effluent limits for fecal coliform and chronic toxicity for the above period (see data summary attached). These violations have already been addressed by correspondence from this office. In regards to the permit monitoring requirements, it was also noted that no effluent sampling for dissolved oxygen was reported on the August DMR. It is our understanding that this was an oversight and a corrected DMR will be resubmitted. Additionally, please update the name on the DMR's to correctly reflect Cornerstone Conference Center and not Pentecostal Holiness Church. III. Flow Measurement The NPDES permit requires instantaneous flow reporting for the effluent. Reported flows average approximately 1,000 gpd or less. It is our understanding that on some days the system does not generate a discharge. If that is the case, please do not sample stagnant water. Simply write `No Flow" for the specific date on the DMR.

Sludge Handling and Disposal Due to the small volume of wastewater treated, hauling of solids from the aerobic digester is seldom necessary. V. Operations and Maintenance The facility appeared to be competently operated and maintained. No problems or concerns were noted. VI. Facilitv Site Review The existing treatment. 0.02 MGD system consists of the following: splitter box., bar screen, dual in ground package plants (only the right side is utilized due low influent flow) with aeration basins, clarifiers, tertiary filters (inoperable), sludge holding along with a tablet chlorinator, contact tank, tablet dechlorinator and effluent discharge pipe. VII. Records/Reports A comparison of the December 2011 self -monitoring report with the corresponding laboratory data sheets showed that all values were transcribed onto the DMR correctly, except for the chronic toxicity test result for the month. It is our understanding that an amended copy of the December DMR will be resubmitted. Vill. Effluent/Receivina Waters The system discharges into an unnamed tributary to Benaja Creek, class "WS-V NSW' waters in the Cape Fear River Basin. The outfall could not be located as it appeared to be covered up with sand. Should you have any questions concerning this report, please contact Mike Mickey or me at (336) 771-5000.

McGee Pentecostal Holiness Church_ PO Box 150 - - Browns Summit, North Carolina 27214 Subject: Notification of Jordan Lake Nutrient Requirements NPDES Permit NC0046809 Western NC Conference Center WWTP Guilford County Dear Mr. McGee: Governor Bev Perdue recently signed legislation to complete passage of rules for the Jordan Lake Nutrient Management Strategy. The Strategy includes a Wastewater Discharge rule (T15A NCAC 02B .0270) that applies to your wastewater treatment facility. Pursuant to Sub -Item (6)(d) of the rule, I am writing to notify 'You of the nutrient allocations assigned to your facility. This letter addresses only certain provisions of the Jordan Lake Wastewater Discharge rule. I encourage you to familiarize yourself with the remainder of this rule. Nutrient Allocations. The Wastewater Discharge rule establishes the maximum loads of nitrogen and phosphorus that can be released from wastewater treatment facilities into the Jordan Lake watershed. The rule provides that these wasteload allocations are to be divided among the existing facilities in proportion to (with specific exceptions) their 2001 permitted flows. It also provides that facilities permitted to discharge 100,000 gpd or more are to receive nitrogen and phosphorus limits equivalent to their individual allocations. Your facility has been assigned nitrogen and phosphorus allocations. The allocations are expressed as annual mass loadings delivered to the lake. Due to foreseeable losses between the discharge point and the lake, they are also expressed as the equivalent discharge loads at the point of discharge. The delivered and the corresponding discharge allocations assigned to your facility are as follows: N00046809 Delivered Allocation (lb/yr) Transport Factor (%) Discharge Allocation (lb/yr) Total Nitrogen 336 46 731 Total Phosphorus 50 41 122 2001 Permitted Flow: 0.02 MGD 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Location: 512 N.

McGee Notification of Jordan Lake Nutrient Requirements September 25, 2009 Nutrient Limits. Your facility will not receive new nutrient limits at this time. However, any nutrient limits already in your NPDES permit will remain in effect. If the facilities permitted for less than 100,000 gpd,.as a group, approach their allocations for nitrogen or phosphorus, the Division will consider whether nutrient limits are necessary to protect water quality at that time. In the event that nutrient limits become necessary, the limits would equal your facility's discharge allocations. Nutrient TradinZ. The rule provides that, when one utility connects to another, the allocations held by the closing facility are transferred to the remaining facility. The rule also provides for the trading of allocations among dischargers within each of the major Jordan subwatersheds. Be sure to consult with the Divisions NPDES staff before you consider selling allocation: transactions can have profound implications for your facility and its permit. If you have any questions regarding these allocations, please contact me at (919) 807-6402 or at mike. templeton@ncdenr.gov. cc: Winston=Salem Regional Office NDPES Files Central Files Sincerely, Coleen H.

You should take whatever remedial actions are necessary to eliminate the conditions causing the effluent toxicity violation(s). Your efforts may include conducting a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (TRE), a site -specific study designed to identify the causative agents of effluent toxicity, isolate the sources of toxicity, evaluate the effectiveness of toxicity control options, and confirm reductions in effluent toxicity. Please be aware that North Carolina General Statutes provide for assessment of civil penalties for violations of NPDES permit limitations and requirements. The reverse side of this Notice contains important information concerning your Whole Effluent Toxicity Monitoring and Reporting Requirements. Please note appropriate mailing addresses for submitting your Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and Aquatic Toxicity (AT) Test Forms.

Please take time to review this information. The items below do not address or include all the toxicity testing and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit. If you should have any questions about your toxicity testing requirement, please contact Mr. John Giorgino with the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at (919) 743-8401 or another Unit representative at the same number. ➢ The permittee is responsible for ensuring that toxicity testing is conducted according to the permit requirement and that toxicity report forms are appropriately filed. The reporting of whole effluent toxicity testing data is a dual requirement. All toxicity test results must be entered (with the appropriate parameter code) on your monthly Discharge Monitoring Report which is submitted to: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Central Files 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 IN ADDITION Toxicity test data (original "AT" form) must be submitted to the following address: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 ➢ Toxicity test results shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period (eg, January test result is due by the end of February). ➢ Toxicity test condition language contained in your NPDES permit may require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any single quarterly toxicity test. If the initial pass/fail test fails or if the chronic value is lower than the permit limit, then at least two multiple concentration toxicity tests (one per month) will be conducted over the following two months. As many analyses as can be completed will be accepted. If your NPDES permit does not require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any single quarterly test, you may choose to conduct either single concentration toxicity testing or multiple concentration toxicity testing per the Division's WET enforcement initiatives effective July 1, 1999. Follow-up multiple concentration toxicity testing will influence the Division's enforcement response. ➢ Toxicity testing months are specified by the NPDES Permit, except for NPDES Permits which contain episodic toxicity monitoring requirements (eg, if the testing months specified in your NPDES permit are March, June, September, and December, then toxicity testing must be conducted during these months). ➢ If your NPDES Permit specifies episodic monitoring and your facility does not have a discharge from January 1-June 30, then you must provide written notification to the Environmental Sciences Section by June 30 that a discharge did not occur during the first six months of the calendar year. ➢ If you receive notification from your contract laboratory that a test was invalidated, you should immediately notify the Environmental Sciences Section at (919) 743-8401 and provide written documentation indicating why the test was invalidated and the date when follow-up testing will occur. ➢ If your facility is required to conduct toxicity testing during a month in which no discharge occurs, you should complete the information block located at the top of the AT form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county and the month/year of the subject report. You should also write "No Flow" on the AT form, sign the form and submit following normal procedures. ➢ The Aquatic Toxicity Test forms shall be signed by the facility's Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) except for facilities which have not received a facility classification. In these cases, a duly authorized facility representative must sign the AT form. The AT form must also be signed by the performing lab supervisor. ➢ To determine if your AT test forms were received on time by the Division of Water Quality, you may consider submittine your toxicity test results certified mail. return receipt requested to the Environmental Sciences Section.

Please submit payment to the attention of: Point Source Branch 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) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 14313-282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; (2) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; (5) 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). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.

The items below do not address or include all the toxicity testing and reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit. if you should have any questions about your toxicity testing requirement, please contact Mr. John Giorgino with the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at (919) 743-8401 or another Unit representative at the same number. ➢ The permittee is responsible for ensuring that toxicity testing is conducted according to the permit requirement and that toxicity report forms are appropriately filed. ➢ The reporting of whole effluent toxicity testing data is a dual requirement. All toxicity test results must be entered (with the appropriate parameter code) on your monthly Discharge Monitoring Report which is submitted to: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Central Files 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 IN ADDITION Toxicity test data (original "AT" form) must be submitted to the following address: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 ➢ Toxicity test results shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period (eg, January test result is due by the end of February). ➢ Toxicity test condition language contained in your NPDES permit may require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any single quarterly toxicity test. If the initial pass/fail test fails or if the chronic value is lower than the permit limit, then at least two multiple concentration toxicity tests (one per month) will be conducted over the following two months. As many analyses as can be completed will be accepted. If your NPDES permit does not require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any single quarterly test, you may choose to conduct either single concentration toxicity testing or multiple concentration toxicity testing per the Division's WET enforcement initiatives effective July 1, 1999. Follow-up multiple concentration toxicity testing will influence the Division's enforcement response. ➢ Toxicity testing months are specified by the NPDES Permit, except for NPDES Permits which contain episodic toxicity monitoring requirements (eg, if the testing months specified in your NPDES permit are March, June, September, and December, then toxicity testing must be conducted during these months). ➢ If your NPDES Permit specifies episodic monitoring and your facility does not have a discharge from January 1-June 30, then you must provide written notification to the Environmental Sciences Section by June 30 that a discharge did not occur during the first six months of the calendar year. ➢ If you receive notification from your contract laboratory that a test was invalidated, you should immediately notify the Environmental Sciences Section at (919) 743-8401 and provide written documentation indicating why the test was invalidated and the date when follow-up testing will occur. ➢ If your facility is required to conduct toxicity testing during a month in which no discharge occurs, you should complete the information block located at the top of the AT form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county and the month/year of the subject report. You should also write "No Flow" on the AT form, sign the form and submit following normal procedures. ➢ The Aquatic Toxicity Test forms shall be signed by the facility's Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) except for facilities which have not received a facility classification. In these cases, a duly authorized facility representative must sign the AT form.

Your efforts may include conducting a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (TRE), a site -specific study designed to identify the causative agents of effluent toxicity, isolate the sources of toxicity, evaluate the effectiveness of toxicity control options, and confirm reductions in effluent toxicity. Please be aware that North Carolina General Statutes provide for assessment of civil penalties for violations of NPDES permit limitations and requirements. The reverse side of this Notice contains important information concerning your Whole Effluent Toxicity Monitoring and Reporting -Requirements. Please note appropriate mailing addresses for submitting your Discharge • Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and Aquatic Toxicity (AT) Test Forms. We encourage you to review this information; if it would be helpful to discuss this situation or possible solutions to resolve effluent toxicity noncompliance, please contact Mr. John Giorgino with this office at (919) 743-8441.

Please take time to review this information. The items below do not address or include all the toxicity testing and reporting rrr auirements contained in your NPDES permit. If you should have any questions about your toxicity testing requirement, please contact Mr. John Giorgino with the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at (919) 743-8401 or another Unit representative at the same number. ➢ The permittee is responsible for ensuring that toxicity testing is conducted according to the permit requirement and that toxicity report forms are appropriately filed. ➢ The reporting of whole effluent toxicity testing data is a dual requirement. All toxicity test results must be entered (with the appropriate parameter code) on your monthly Discharge Monitoring Report which is submitted to: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Central Files 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, NC 27699-1617 IN ADDITION Toxicity test data (original "AT" form) must be submitted to the following address: North Carolina Division of Water Quality Environmental Sciences Section 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 ➢ Toxicity test results shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period (eg, January test result is due by the end of February). ➢ Toxicity test condition language contained in your NPDES permit may require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any single quarterly toxicity test. If the initial pass/fail test fails or if the chronic value is lower than the permit limit, then at least two multiple concentration toxicity tests (one per month) will be conducted over the following two months. As many analyses as can be completed will be accepted. If your NPDES permit does not require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any single quarterly test, you may choose to conduct either single concentration toxicity testing or multiple concentration toxicity testing per the Division's WET enforcement initiatives effective July 1, 1999. Follow-up multiple concentration toxicity testing will influence the Division's enforcement response. ➢ Toxicity testing months are specified by the NPDES Permit, except for NPDES Permits which contain episodic toxicity monitoring requirements (eg, if the testing months specified in your NPDES permit are March, June, September, and December, then toxicity testing must be conducted during these months). ➢ If your NPDES Permit specifies episodic monitoring and your facility does not have a discharge from January I -June 30, then you must provide written notification to the Environmental Sciences Section by June 30 that a discharge did not occur during the first six months of the calendar year. ➢ If you receive notification from your contract laboratory that a test was invalidated, you should immediately notify the Environmental Sciences Section at (919) 743-8401 and provide written documentation indicating why the test was invalidated and the date when follow-up testing will occur. ➢ If your facility is required to conduct toxicity testing during a month in which no discharge occurs, you should complete the information block located at the top of the AT form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county and the month/year of the subject report. You should also write "No Flow" on the AT form, sign the form and submit following normal procedures. ➢ The Aquatic Toxicity Test forms shall be signed by the facility's Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) except for facilities which have not received a facility classification. In these cases, a duly authorized facility representative must sign the AT form. The;_AT form must also be signed by the performing lab supervisor. ➢ To determine if your AT test forms were received on time by the Division of Water Quality, you may consider submitting your toxicity test results certified mail, return receipt requested to the Environmental Sciences Section.

Effluent values below 50 µg/L will be treated as zero for compliance purposes. 3. Chronic Toxicity (Ceriodaphnia) P/F at 31%: February, May, August & November (see A. (2.)). There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam in other than trace amounts. Permit NCO046809 A. (2) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality to Ceriodaphnia dlebia at an effluent concentration of 31% Tlie permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in the "North Carolina Cefiodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the 7yonlbs of February, May, August & November. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. If the test procedure performed as the first test.of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of "detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions, All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and TI-IP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Branch 1621 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621 Completed Aquatic ToxicityTest Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Branch no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made. Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supeivisor and ORC or approved designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity, sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT) test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted to the Environmental Sciences Branch at the address cited above. Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required, monitoring will be required during the following month. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Water Qualit, indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction,' and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring. FACT SHEET FOR EXPEDITED PERMIT RENEWALS This form must be completed by Permit Writers for all expedited permits which do not require frill Fact Sheets. Expedited permits are generally simple 100% domestics (e.g., schools, mobile home parks, etc) that can be administratively renewed with minor changes, but can include facilities with more complex issues (Special Conditions, 303(d) listed water, toxicity testing, instream monitoring, compliance concerns).

You should take whatever remedial actions are necessary to eliminate the conditions causing the effluent toxicity violation(s). Your efforts may include conducting a Toxicity Reduction Evaluation (TRE), a site -specific study designed to identify the causative agents of effluent toxicity, isolate the sources of toxicity, evaluate the effectiveness of toxicity control options, and confirm reductions in effluent toxicity. Please be aware that North Carolina General Statutes provide for assessment of civil penalties for violations of NPDES permit limitations and requirements. The reverse side of this Notice contains important information concerning your Whole Effluent Toxicity Monitoring and Reporting Requirements. Please note appropriate mailing addresses for submitting your Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and Aquatic Toxicity (AT) Test Forms. We encourage you to review this information; if it would be helpful to discuss this situation or possible solutions to resolve effluent toxicity noncompliance, please contact Mr. John Giorgino with this office at (919) 743-8441.

Box 150 Browns Summit, NC 27214-0150 SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Pentecostal Holiness Church Western NC Conference Center WWTP NPDES Permit No. NCO046809 Guilford County Dear Rev. McGhee: A Compliance Evaluation Inspection was performed on the Pentecostal Holiness Church Western NC Conference Center wastewater treatment facility on July 23, 2009 by Corey Basinger of the Winston-Salem Regional Office. Patrick Merritt, ORC was present for the subject inspection. The inspection consisted of two parts: an on -site inspection of the treatment facility and an in -office file review. The following are the findings from the subject inspection. L Permit The NPDES permit for the Pentecostal Holiness Church WWTP became effective on May 1, 2006 and expires on April 30, 2011. The permitted wastewater treatment components for the 0.020 MGD facility include a splitter box, bar screen, dual parallel aeration tanks, dual parallel clarifiers, dual tertiary filters, tablet chlorination, and chlorine contact chamber. II. Records/Reports A daily visitation log was available at the site. Information contained in this daily log included field parameter data, maintenance records, and process control data. The Annual Performance Report was received on May 15, 2009 for calendar year 2008. III. Facility Site Review On the date of inspection, only the right side treatment works was in operation and consisted of a splitter box', bar screen, aeration tank, secondary clarifier, tablet chlorinator, chlorine contact chamber and dechlorination unit. The tertiary filter was not in service. The left side treatment works is not being used due to the small amount of flow tributary to the system. IV. Effluent & Receiving Waters The Pentecostal Holiness Church discharges to an unnamed tributary to Benaja Creek (Class C-NSW waters in the Cape Fear River Basin). On the date of the inspection, the effluent discharge was clear and free of visible solids. The receiving stream was free of solids, foam and debris. V. Flow Measurement Flow is required to be measured instantaneously. Currently flow is measure using the gauge on the chlorinator. The facility receives very little flow (-1,000 gpd or less). The summer youth camp buildings produce additional flow during the summer months. VI. Self -Monitoring Program A review of the discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) for the time period of January 2008 through April 2009 showed that the Pentecostal Holiness Church WWTP experienced only one (1) permit effluent limitation violation. This was handled via previous correspondence from the Division.

McGhee: Michael F. Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources 09 April 2008 Coleen H. Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality A Compliance Evaluation Inspection was performed on the Pentecostal Holiness Church Western NC Conference Center wastewater treatment facility on April 9, 2008 by Corey Basinger of the Winston-Salem Regional Office. Patrick Merritt, ORC was present for the subject inspection. The inspection consisted of two parts: an on -site inspection of the treatment facility and an in -office file review. The following are the findings from the subject inspection. I. Permit The NPDES permit for the Pentecostal Holiness Church WWTP became effective on May 1, 2006 and expires on April 30, 2011. The permitted wastewater treatment components for the 0.020 MGD facility include a splitter box, bar screen, dual parallel aeration tanks, dual parallel clarifiers, dual tertiary filters, tablet chlorination, and chlorine contact chamber. An Authorization to Construct (No. 046809A01) was issued October 29, 2007. The professional engineer's certification was received on January 18, 2008. II. Records/Reports A daily visitation log was available at the site. Information contained in this daily log included field parameter data, maintenance records, and process control data. The Annual Performance Report has not yet been submitted calendar year 2007. The Annual Performance Report was due by April 1, 2008. Please submit the 2007 Annual Performance Report immediately.. III. Facility Site Review On the date of inspection, only the right side treatment works was in operation and consisted of a splitter box, bar screen, aeration tank, secondary clarifier, tablet chlorinator, chlorine contact chamber and dechlorination unit. The tertiary filter was not in service. The left side treatment works is not being used due to the small amount of flow tributary to the system. IV. Effluent & Receiving Waters The Pentecostal Holiness Church discharges to an unnamed tributary to Benaja Creek (Class C-NSW waters in the Cape Fear River Basin). On the date of the inspection, -the minimal effluent discharge was clear and free of visible solids. The receiving stream was free of solids, foam and debris.

Flow Measurement Flow is required to be measured instantaneously. Currently flow is measure using the gauge on the chlorinator. The facility receives very little flow (-1,000 gpd or less). However, the future addition of 4,650 gpd of additional wastewater from the proposed two (2) summer youth camp buildings should produce enough flow to warrant the installation of an adequate flow measurement device. The Division will address this issue at the appropriate time. VI. Self -Monitoring Program A review of the discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) for the time period of January 2007 through December 2007 showed that the Pentecostal Holiness Church WWTP experienced only one (1) permit effluent limitation violation. This was handled via previous correspondence from the Division. VII. Compliance Schedules No compliance schedule to evaluate. VIII. Laboratory All of the samples are taken to a contract lab (Meritech, Inc.) for analysis. IX. Operations and Maintenance This facility receives very little flow (-1,000 gpd or less). Currently, only one (1) of the two (2) treatment trains was being used. Both blowers/motors were operational. The diffusers appeared to be functioning properly. The clarifier had some minor pin floc. X. Sludge Utilization/Disposal Solids are removed as necessary by a licensed hauler. XI. Pretreatment, Pollution Prevention, Multimedia Not applicable for this facility XII. Stormwater Not applicable for this facility. XIII. Sewer Overflow No sewer overflows were reported during the review period. A collection system inspection form was attached to the previous inspection report (dated May 10, 2007) for you to complete and return to this Office. This Office has no record of that form being completed and returned. This form was completed during the subject inspection and you will receive a separate correspondence concerning the findings. XIV. Other The previous inspection was conducted by Corey Basinger of the Winston-Salem Regional Office on May 9, 2007.

Thomas McGhee Pentecostal Holiness Church P. O. Box 150 Browns Summit, NC 27214-0150 SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Pentecostal Holiness Church Western NC Conference Center WWTP NPDES Permit No. NCO046809 Guilford County Dear Rev. McGhee: Michael F. Easley, Governor William G. Ross Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director Division of Water Quality 10 May 2007 A Compliance Evaluation Inspection was performed on the Pentecostal Holiness Church Western NC Conference Center wastewater treatment facility on May 9, 2006 by Corey Basinger of the Winston-Salem Regional Office. Patrick Merritt, ORC and Rose Pruitt (Environmental Specialist with DWQ) were present for the subject inspection. The inspection consisted of two parts: an on -site inspection of the treatment facility and an in -office file review. The following are the findings from the subject inspection. I. Permit The NPDES permit for the Pentecostal Holiness Church WWTP became effective on May 1, 2006 and expires on April 30, 2011. The permitted wastewater treatment components for the 0.020 MGD facility include a splitter box, bar screen, dual parallel aeration tanks, dual parallel clarifiers, dual tertiary filters, tablet chlorination, and chlorine contact chamber. II. Records/Reports A daily visitation log was available at the site. Information contained in this daily log included field parameter data, maintenance records, and process control data. The Annual Performance Report has not yet been submitted calendar year 2006. The Annual Performance Report was due by April 1, 2007. You must submit the Annual Performance Report by June 15, 2007. III. Facility Site Review On the date of inspection, only the right side treatment works was in operation and consisted of a splitter box, bar screen, aeration tank, secondary clarifier, tablet chlorinator, and chlorine contact chamber. The tertiary filter was not in service. The left side treatment works is not being used due to the small amount of flow tributary to the system. IV. Effluent & Receiving Waters The Pentecostal Holiness Church discharges to an unnamed tributary to Benaja Creek (Class C-NSW waters in the Cape Fear River Basin). On the date of the inspection, the minimal effluent discharge was clear and free of visible solids. The receiving stream was free of solids, foam and debris. Nose Carolina Ntum lly 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.newaterquality.org An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer — 50% Recycled/10% Post Consumer Paper 0 V. Flow Measurement Flow is required to be measured instantaneously. Currently flow is measure using the gauge on the chlorinator. The facility receives very little flow (-1,000 gpd or less). However, the future addition of 4,650 gpd of additional wastewater from the proposed two (2) summer youth camp buildings should produce enough flow to warrant the installation of an adequate flow measurement device. The Division will address this issue at the appropriate time. VI..Self-Monitoring Program A review of the discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) for the time period of January 2006 through December 2006 showed that the Pentecostal Holiness Church WWTP did not have any permit effluent limitation violations. VII. Compliance Schedules No compliance schedule to evaluate. VIII. Laboratory All of the samples are taken to a contract lab (Meritech, Inc.) for analysis. IX. Operations and Maintenance This facility receives very little flow (-1,000 gpd or less). Currently, only one (1) of the two (2) treatment trains was being used. Both blowers/motors were operational. The diffusers appeared to be functioning properly. The clarifier had some minor pin floc. X. Sludge Utilization/Disposal Solids are removed as necessary by a licensed hauler. XI. Pretreatment, Pollution Prevention, Multimedia Not applicable for this facility XII. Stormwater Not applicable for this facility. XIII. Sewer Overflow No sewer overflows were reported during the review period. A collection system inspection form is attached for you to complete and return to this Office. Please return to Steve Mauney at the Division of Water Quality, 585 Waughtown Street, Winston-Salem, NC 27107 no later than June 15, 2007. XIV. Other The previous inspection was conducted by Corey Basinger of the Winston-Salem Regional Office on March 2, 2006 2005.
