PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. These samples
shall be representative of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. These samples shall be representative
of the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or"the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act(CWA),as amended,33 USC 1251,et.
seq.
Annual Average
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.
Bypass
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 Day
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 Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
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. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may
Version 1012912010

C) rlPDES Permit Standard Conditions

only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions
also apply:
➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters
➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time<24 hours shall collect effluent
grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period.
➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect
effluent grab samples at least every six hours;there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24-
hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is
calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration
comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the
arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2)
Daily Maximum
The highest"daily discharge" during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in
the permit. Sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal
operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit
parameter(s),that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).

Hi Bob,
Per your request, here are my comments for the permit renewal for NCO023566 Micaville Loop LLC
WWTP.
Attached is the most recent facility info cover page.
Here's what I would suggest for the draft permit:
A. The facility names listed on the application and on the (attached) DRAFT permit is:
Blake Atkins and Duncan Dorris; dba. Micaville Loop, LLC.
think that I would make these names match throughout the permit documents by putting
"Micaville Loop, LLC" (instead of"Micaville Loop")
on the "fact sheet",
on the "DRAFT permit cover page" (dated January 5, 2011),
on the "DRAFT permit" (down below ..."is hereby authorized to discharge wastewater
from..."),
on the "supplement to permit cover sheet" (in Item #1., down below the list of treatment
components: "The facility is located at ...") and
on the "map".
B. Supplement to permit cover page: (see attachment)
1. Continue to operate:
0.010 MGD extended aeration type package plant consisting of: 500
gallon influent lift station; bar screen; 10,000 gallon aeration basin
with dual blowers providing diffused air; 3000 gallon clarifier with
skimmer and sludge returns; 1000 gallon aerobic digestor; tablet
chlorinator; 300 gallon chlorine contact tank; 5000 gallon fine solids
settling tank; and tablet dechlorinator.
Everything else looks good.
ARO recommends renewal of this permit.

Dear Permittee:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully to ensure
thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.The following procedure has been recently
implemented by DWQ: Total residual chlorine(TRC)compliance level changed to 50ug/L. Effective March 1,2008,
the Division received EPA approval to allow a 50 ug/L TRC compliance level. A footnote regarding this change has
been added to the effluent limitations page in the draft permit.
This draft permit contains the following changes from your existing permit:
• Footnote#1 has been revised with the following additional Total Residual Chlorine Language:"The facility shall
report all effluent TRC values reported by a NC certified laboratory including field certified. However,effluent
values below 50 ug/l will be treated as zero for compliance purposes"
Concurrent with this transmittal,the Division will solicit public comment on this draft as required by the EPA by
publishing a notice in newspapers having circulation in the general Yancey County area. Following the 30-day
public comment period,the Division will review all pertinent comments and take appropriate action prior to issuing a

Dear Mr. Atkins:
Enclosed you will find a copy of the inspection report from the site visit conducted on October 31, 2014. A site
visit was conducted to evaluate if the wastewater facility was back in operation. The treatment plant was not
discharging. I contacted Mr. Jadd Brewer, the Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), by phone and talked
with him regarding this facility. I am aware of this industrial facility's anticipation of tying onto the new
municipality's treatment system once it is available. In the meantime, if flows are to be directed to your
wastewater facility please contact me. Refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and
comments. If you or your staff have any questions,please call me at 828-296-4500.
Sincerely,
Linda Wiggs

Section D:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The inspector stopped by this facility to check on operations. It was reported to the inspector that a
business(Ice Cream Shop) had moved into a portion of the building.
This wastewater treatment system is composed of a small pump station (PS)and an above ground
package plant. On the day of the visit there was a sign at the ice cream shop that they were closed for
the week(season?). The PS did not indicate any overflows.The WWTP had water in it and aeration
was taking place. There was no water being discharged and the water in the plant looked clean.
The inspector spoke with the previous ORC (Jadd Brewer)for an update. He stated the ice cream
shop did want to remain open through the winter and that he had seeded the plant in anticipation of
flows. I told Jadd Brewer to keep me informed of operations.
This facility is slated to tie onto the new S. Toe WWTP once it is ready to receive flows. Jadd Brewer
also mentioned the owners of the Taylor Togs building were hoping a baking industry may set up in the
old industrial establishment.Again, if this is the case the Division of Water Resources (DWR)will need
to be notified.

Dear Mr.Atkins:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against the Micaville Loop WWTP in the amount of$1,100.00
($1,000.00 civil penalty+$100.00 in enforcement costs).This assessment is based upon the following facts:
1. The February 2012 Discharge monitoring report(DMR)was not filed with the Division of Water Quality
within the thirty(30)day reporting period in accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements
contained in your NPDES permit.A Notice of Violation(NOV-2012-LR-0018)was mailed to you on April 30,
2012 for failure to submit the February 2012 DMR no later than the thirtieth(30rh)day following the reporting
period.This Notice of Violation was received by you on May 4,2012.Within said Notice,you were informed
that future reports not received within the required timeframe would result in further enforcement actions.
2. The March 2012 Discharge monitoring report(DMR)was not filed with the Division of Water Quality
within the thirty(30)day reporting period in accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements
contained in your NPDES permit.A Notice of Violation(NOV-2012-LR-0028 was mailed to you on June 15,
2012 for failure to submit the March 2012 DMR no later than the thirtieth(30 h)day following the reporting
period.This Notice of Violation was received by you on June 25,2012.Within said Notice,you were
informed.that future reports not received within the required timeframe would result in further enforcement
actions.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Micaville Loop WWTP violated or failed to act in
accordance with the requirements of NPDES Permit NCO023566 and G.S. 143-215.65.A civil penalty of not more
than$25,000.00 per violation may be assessed against a person who fails to file,submit,or make available any
documents,data,or reports required by G.S. 143-215.65. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be
assessed pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9)and G.S. 143-282.1(b)(8).

Naturally

cased upon the above findings of fa'` .end conclusions of law,and pursuant to the autf' y delegated to me by the
Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality,
I hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against the Micaville Loop WWTP:
$ $1,000.00 for failing to submit the March 2012 DMR as required by NPDES Permit
NCO023566 and G.S.143-215.65.
$ .$100.00 Investigation Costs
$ $1,100.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty, I have taken into account the Findings of
Facts and Conclusions of Law and have considered each and every specific factor set out in G.S. 1436-282.1(b),
which are:
(1) The degree ar)d extent of harm to the natural resources of the State,to public health,or to private property
resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on the ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental
Management Commission has regulatory authority;and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources(do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source 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.
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the reasonableness of the amount
of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for contesting the accuracy of any of the statements
contained in the assessment letter. 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 that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You must
execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement,
which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 1436-282.1(b)were wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions.

Please submit this information to the attention of:
Point Source Branch
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission must be submitted
in writing.The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review the information during a
bimonthly enforcement conference and inform you of his decision in the matter of the remission
request. His response will provide details regarding case status,directions for payment and
provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's
Committee on Civil Penalty,Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider
information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director and
therefore,it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of
your request for remission.
OR
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter,you must request an administrative
hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to the Office of Administrative Hearings
and must conform to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes. You must:
File your original petition with the
Office of Administrative Hearings
6714 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714
and
Mail or hand-deliver a copy of the petition to
General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Please indicate the case number(as found on page one of this letter)on the petition.
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days as evidenced by a date stamp(not a postmark)
indicating when we received your response,will result in this matter being referred to the Attorney General's Office
with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the penalty. Please be advised that additional assessments may be
levied for violations that occur after the review period of this assessment.
If you have any questions concerning this matter,please contact Mr. Bob Guerra at(919)807-6387 or email at

Subject: Assessment of Civil Penalty for Violations of Reporting Requirements
Micaville Loop WWTP
NPDES Permit NCO023566
Case Number LR-2012-0005
Yancey County
Dear Mr.Atkins:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against the Micaville Loop WWTP in the amount of$600.00
($500.00 civil penalty+$100.00 in enforcement costs).This assessment is based upon the following facts:
1. The February 2012 Discharge monitoring report(DMR)was not filed with the Division of Water Quality
within the thirty(30)day reporting period in accordance with the monitoring and reporting requirements
contained in your NPDES permit.A Notice of Violation(NOV-2012-LR-0018)was mailed to you on April 30,
2012 for failure to submit the February 2012 DMR no later than the thirtieth(30th)day following the reporting
period.This Notice of Violation was received by you on May 4,2012.Within said Notice,you were informed
that future reports not received within the required timeframe would result in further enforcement actions.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Micaville Loop WWTP violated or failed to act in
accordance with the requirements of NPDES Permit NCO023566 and G.S. 143-215.65.A civil penalty of not more
than$25,000.00 per violation may be assessed against a person who fails to file,submit,or make available any
documents, data, or reports required by G.S. 143-215.65. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be
assessed pursuant to G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9)and G.S. 143-282.1(b)(8).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law,and pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the
Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality,
I hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against the Micaville Loop WWTP:

$ $500.00 for failing to submit the February 2012 DMR as required by NPDES Permit
NC0023566 and G.S.143-215.65.
$ $100.00 Investigation Costs
$ $600.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215:6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty, I have taken into account the Findings of
Facts and Conclusions of Law and have considered each and every specific factor set out in G.S. 143B-282.1(b),
which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State,to public health,or to private property
resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on the ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental
Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural
Resources(do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further
enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source 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.
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the reasonableness of the amount
of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for contesting the accuracy of any of the statements
contained in the assessment letter. 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 that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You must
execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement,
which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b)were wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:

Dear Mr.Atkins:
This is to inform you that the Division of Water Quality has not received your monthly monitoring report for
February 2012 after the required reporting date. This is in violation of Part ll, Condition D (2) of the NPDES permit, as well
as 15A NCAC 2B .506(a), which requires the submittal of Discharge Monitoring Reports no later than the thirtieth (30")
day following the reporting period. Failure to submit reports as required will subject the violator to the assessment
of a civil penalty of up to $26,000 per violation. You will be considered noncompliant with the self-monitoring
requirements of your NPDES permit until the report has been submitted.
Please submit the February 2012 DMR report within 15 days of receipt of this notice if you have not yet
submitted it. To prevent further action, please submit future monthly reports within the above-mentioned
timeframe to avoid further enforcement actions,which have occurred in the past.
The Division must take these steps because timely submittal of discharge monitoring reports is essential to the
efficient operation of our water quality programs. We appreciate your assistance in this matter. If you have any questions
about this letter or Discharge Monitoring Reports, please contact me at 919-807-6387 or at bob.guerra(a)ncdenr.gov.

Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report
Taylor Togs Micaville Loop
NPDES #:NC0023566
Date: 3/4/11
We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report.
This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the wastewater we discharge to
the receiving waters every day. Our constant goal is to protect the environmental waters
of North Carolina. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually
improve the wastewater treatment process and protect our water resources. We are
committed to ensuring the quality of the receiving waters that we discharge to.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your wastewater utility, please
contact Paul Isenhour at [phone]. We want our valued customers to be informed
about their wastewater utility.
Let us first take this opportunity to give you a brief description of a Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes, and
ends up at the treatment plant. The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large
particles that are present (i.e.,rags and papers). The water then goes to an aeration basin
where air is pumped into the water. This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the
solids that are in the water. The water then goes to the clarifier where the solids settle out.
The solids are pumped back to the aeration basin to give the bacteria a second chance to
feed. When there are too many solids in the plant, some of the solids are pumped to a
digester tank. In the digester,the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the
solids'volume. When the digester gets full,the solids are pumped from the tank and
taken to a larger facility. The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for
disinfection. The two most prominent ways to disinfect the wastewater are chlorine and
ultraviolet light. Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form. When chlorine is
used,there is generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the
wastewater before it goes to the receiving water. When ultraviolet light(UV) is used, the
wastewater flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not live when exposed to UV light,
so as the water passes the UV bulbs, the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection,
the treated wastewater goes into the receiving waters.

PERFORMANCE _
The system had no discharge during the reporting period.
NOTIFICATION
This annual report has been sent to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and to
the owner of the wastewater system. The wastewater system owner has also been given a
letter that they can easily distribute to all their customers. The letter will inform the
customers that the annual report is available upon request to the owner of the system.
CERTIFICATION
I certify under penalty of law that this report is complete and accurate to the best of my
knowledge. I further certify that this report has been made available to the users or
customers of the named system and that those users have been notified of its availability
as per the NOTIFICATION section above.

At the time of inspection the plant was discharging well water whiclkwas being piped in to the final basin.
The Division of Water Quality encourages the smart use of water rourses and advised the owner to find
ways to cut water/power consumption while the plant is not being used.
The plant was generally clean however it was showing some signs of wear that need to be addressed in
order to prolong the life of the plant. The plant is showing signs of rust and corrosion and it is recommended
that it be painted. The bar screen was also heavily corroded and may need replacing soon if the plant is put
back in service.

Dear Mr. Cook:
On April 7, 2009, enforcement action LR-2009-0005 was issued against Taylor Togs WWTP NC0023566 with a civil
penalty of$600.00.The enforcement action was based upon a violation of the reporting requirement by failing to submit
the January 2009 discharge monitoring report with the Division of Water Quality within the thirty(30)day reporting period.
Subsequent to your receipt of the penalty, you contacted me indicating you submitted the January 2009 discharge
monitoring report with other DMR reports submitted by your ORC.
On June 8, 2009, 1 received a faxed copy of the January 2009 DMR. The January 2009 DMR has been entered with a
notation.that it was received in a timely manner. Please send a hard copy as well to the DWQ Central Files to::complete
the submittal process.As a result, I have withdrawn the Civil penalty of$600.00, deleted LR-2009-0005 from.the DWQ
database, and removed it from our files. Please note that the January 2009 was received late and that during the next
one-year period ending January 2010, should a DMR be submitted late, a Civil penalty exactly like the penalty I have
deleted will be assessed.
You may request that during the timeframe that the facility is not discharging/operating, the submittal of a monthly DMR
be suspended.
I apologize for any inconvenience or trouble this may have caused you and the facility. If you have any questions about
this matter, please contact me at(919)807-6387.

Subject: Assessment of Civil Penalty for Violations of Reporting Requirements Micaville Loop WWTP
NPDES Permit NCO023566
Case Number LR-2009-0005 --(fie&,a e&ed
Yancey County
Dear Mr. Cook:
This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against the Micaville Loop WWTP in the amount of$600.00
($500.00 civil penalty+$100.00 in enforcement costs).The January 2009 Discharge Monitoring Report(DMR)was not
filed with the Division of Water Quality within the thirty(30)day reporting period in accordance with the monitoring and
reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: On August 21, 2008, a letter was mailed to you (see attached) stating
that Enforcement case LR-2008-0010 had been retracted and the civil penalty of$600.00 was also retracted.Within this
letter was the following statement, "Please note that the May2008 DMR was received late and that during the next
one-year period ending May 2009, should a DMR be submitted late,a civil penalty exactly like the penalty 1 have
deleted will be assessed."
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Micaville Loop WWTP violated or failed to act in
accordance with the requirements of NPDES Permit NCO023566 and G.S. 143-215.65. A civil penalty of not more than
$25,000.00 per violation may be assessed against a person who fails to file, submit, or make available any documents,
data, or reports required by G.S. 143-215.65. The State's enforcement costs in this matter may be assessed pursuant to
G.S. 143-215.3(a)(9) and G.S. 143-282.1(b)(8).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and pursuant to the authority delegated to me by the
Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I
hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against the Micaville Loop WWTP:

i
$ $500.00 for failing to submit the January 2009 DMR as required by NPDES Permit NC0023566
and G.S. 143-215.65.
$ $100.00 Investigation Costs
$ $600.00 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty, I have taken into account the Findings of Facts
and Conclusions of Law and have considered each and every specific factor set out in G.S. 14313-282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State,to public health, or to private property
resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on the ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental
Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not foreclose further enforcement action for any
continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source 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.
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the reasonableness of the amount of the
penalty and is not the proper procedure for contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in
the assessment letter. 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 that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and return to this office
the attached waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement, which you believe establishes whether:
(a) 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;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation;

t i
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Point Source Branch
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission must be submitted in
writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review the information during a bimonthly
enforcement conference and inform you of his decision in the matter of the remission request. His
response will provide details regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for further
appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the
original remission request considered by the Director and therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
OR
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an administrative hearing.
This request must be in the form of a written petition to the Office of Administrative Hearings and must
conform to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes. You must:
File your original petition with the
Office of Administrative Hearings
6714 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714
and
Mail or hand-deliver a copy of the petition to
General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Please indicate the case number(as found on page one of this letter) on the petition.

Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days as evidenced by a date stamp (not a postmark) indicating
when we received your response, will result in this matter being referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to
initiate a civil action to collect the penalty. Please be advised that additional assessments may be levied for violations that
occur after the review period of this assessment.

Dear Mr. Cook:
On July 30, 2008, enforcement action LR-2008-0010 was issued against Taylor Togs WWTP NCO023566 with a civil
penalty of$600.00.The enforcement action was based upon a violation of the reporting requirement by failing to submit
the May 2008 discharge monitoring report with the Division of Water Quality within the thirty(30)day reporting period.
Subsequent to your receipt of the penalty, you contacted me indicating you submitted the April 2008 discharge monitoring
report but mistakenly dated the report as January 2008.
On 8-19-2008, 1 received a faxed copy of the April 2008 amended DMR with the correct date of April.The DMR has been
entered with a notation that it was received in a timely manner.Please send a hard copy as well to the DWQ Central Files
to complete the submittal process.As a result, I have withdrawn the Civil penalty of$600.00,deleted LR-2008-0010 from
the DWQ database, and removed it from our files. Please note that the May 2008 DMR was received late and that during
the next one-year period ending May 2009,should a DMR be submitted late, a Civil penalty exactly like the penalty I have
deleted will be assessed.
You may request that during the timeframe that the facility is not discharging/operating,the submittal of a monthly DMR
be suspended.
apologize for any inconvenience or trouble this may have caused you and the facility. If you have any questions about
this matter, please contact me at(919) 807-6387.

Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report
Taylor Togs
NPDES M NC0023566 i
Date: 2/13/08
APR 1 U 2008
We are pleased to present to you this year's Annual Wastewater Treatment Plant Report.
This report is designed to inform you about the quality of the wastewater we discharge to
the receiving waters every day. Our constant goal is to-protect the environmental waters
of North Carolina. We want you to understand the efforts we make to continually
improve the wastewater treatment process and protect our water resources. We are
committed to ensuring the quality of the receiving waters that we discharge to.
If you have any questions about this report or concerning your,wastewater utility,please
contact Paul Isenhour at [phone]. We want our valued customers to be informed
about their wastewater utility.
Let us first take this opportunity to give you a brief description of a Wastewater
Treatment Plant. The waters that go down the drain, follow many different pipes, and
ends up at the treatment plant. The wastewater goes through a bar screen that stops large
particles that are present(i.e.,rags and papers). The water then goes to an aeration basin
where air is pumped into the water. This air supplies oxygen to bacteria that feed on the
solids that are in the water. The water then goes to the clarifier where the solids settle out.
The solids are pumped back to.the aeration basin to give the bacteria a second chance to
feed. When there are too many solids in the plant, some of the solids are pumped to a
digester tank. In the digester, the bacteria have more time to feed on and reduce the
solids'volume. When the digester gets full, the solids are pumped from the tank and
taken to a larger facility. The clear water from the clarifier then goes to a tank for
disinfection. The two most prominent ways to disinfect the wastewater are chlorine and
ultraviolet light. Chlorine can be used as a gas or in solid tablet form. When chlorine is
used,there is generally a dechlorinating agent use to remove any excess chlorine from the
wastewater before it goes to the receiving water. When ultraviolet light (UV) is used, the
wastewater flows around the UV bulbs. Bacteria can not live when exposed to UV light,
so as the water passes the UV bulbs, the water in disinfected. Finally, after disinfection,
the treated wastewater goes into the receiving waters.

PERFORMANCE
The treatment plant did very well last year. However, we had one daily non-compliance
for fecal coliform in January and June. Both times the chlorine was adjusted and the next
samples were compliant.
NOTIFICATION
This annual report has been sent to the North Carolina Division of Water Quality and to
the owner of the wastewater system. The wastewater system owner has also been given a
letter that they can easily distribute to all their customers. The letter will inform the
customers that the annual report is available upon request to the owner of the system.
CERTIFICATION
I certify under penalty of law that this report is complete and accurate to the best of my
knowledge. I further certify that this report has been made available to the users or
customers of the named system and that those users have been notified of its availability
as per the NOTIFICATION section above.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Treatment Units/ Process Control Testing / Effluent Data:
The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows:
Temperature= 21.7 degrees Celcius
pH = 7.2 units
Dissolved Oxygen = 5.0 mg/I
Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3 mg/I.
Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to achieve
ideal dissolved oxygen levels.
Settleable Solids = 200 ml/I = 20%
Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so that the
flow rate is approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the settleable solids
from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a settleometer. For example, a
settleability of 30% would generally indicate a recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%.
Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%)the same as the percent return sludge pumping
rate (i.e. 30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained. If the plant
cannot handle that return sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably recommended, unless
the sludge is too young.
The effluent data was as follows:
Dissolved Oxygen = 7.1 mg/I
pH = 7.2 units
Temperature = 19.8 degrees Celcius
Chlorine = <15 ug/I
Records & Reports:
A review of the files indicates that the last compliance evaluation inspection was
conducted on 3-16-2006 by Larry Frost.
The permit expires on 2-28-2011. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to
expiration. A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder.
The Annual Performance Report has been filed for the year and was on-site, along with a
complete copy of the current permit.

Dear Mr. Edwards,
Taylor Togs WWTP, Permit#NC0023566, exceeded the daily fecal
maximum on November 28, 2006. The chlorine was adjusted after
notification of the exceeded fecal. The samples taken after the adjustment
were reported under the daily limits. I feel the adjustment corrected the
problem.
If there are any questions concerning this matter arise, please feel free to
contact myself, Jadd Brewer, at Water Quality Lab. and Operations 828-898-

Thank you for your time and consideration on this matter.
