MOOIREBVII-LE REGIONAL OFFICE
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently published the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule. The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to
report information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports. The rule does not change what
information is required from facilities. It only changes the method by which information is provided (i.e.,
electronic rather than paper -based).
EPA is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5-year period. The two phases of the rule, and their
key milestones, are:
• Phase 1—Starting on December 21, 2016, regulated, entities that are required.to submit Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) will begin submitting these reports electronically. If you are currently
reporting your DMR data electronically using eDMR, then you simply need to continue reporting
in the same way as you are now. The key change is that, starting on December 21, 2016,
electronic reporting of DMRs will be required, instead of voluntary.
• Phase 2—Starting on December 21, 2020, regulated entities that are required to submit certain
other NPDES reports will begin submitting these reports electronically. Reports covered in the
second phase include Notices of Intent to discharge in compliance with an NPDES general permit,
Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports, and a number of other NPDES program reports.
Incorporating Electronic Reporting Requirements into NPDES Permits
The NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule requires authorized NPDES programs to incorporate electronic
reporting requirements into NPDES permits beginning December 21, 2015. Under the new rule, the
electronic reporting process supersedes the paper reporting process. According to our files, your NPDES
permit became effective after November 2013, and should contain the requirement to electronically
report your Discharge Monitoring Reports using NC DWR's eDMR system.
In addition to requiring permittees to report information electronically, the rule also requires permittees
to identify the initial recipient for the'NPDES electronic reporting data [see 40 CFR 122.41(I)(9)]. Initial
State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities (initial recipient) means the
entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity
for receiving electronic NPDES Data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)]. Permittees are required to electronically
submit the required NPDES information to the appropriate initial recipient, as determined by EPA. By July
18, 2016, EPA must identify and publish on its web site and in the Federal Register a listing of initial
recipients by state and by NPDES data group. Once available, you can use EPA's web site to find out or
determine the initial recipient of your electronic submission.
NC DWR has submitted a request to EPA to be the initial recipient for the following NPDES data groups:
1. Discharge Monitoring Reports;
2. General Permit Reports [Notices of Intent to discharge (NOls); Notices of Termination (NOTs)];
3. Pretreatment Program Reports; and
4. Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports
EPA's web site will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each type of electronic
submission for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic reporting
tool will be available as well.
For more information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule, visit

Dear Mr. Parker:

WOROS
MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
Thank you for the opportunity to respond on behalf of the City of Kings Mountain's NOV/NRE
dated March 16, 2015 for the parameter Total Arsenic, on the December 2014 Discharge
Monitoring Report (DMR).
After reviewing the data for possible typo errors, it was found that these values reported, were
correct according to our contracted laboratory's report. After reviewing historical data on this
parameter, it appears that the normal range was <100 ug/I opposed to the levels in December
2014.
In order to calculate our plant removal rates and update our Long Term Monitoring Plan (LTMP)
as needed, we collect Influent samples on Tuesday and Effluent samples on Thursday (normally)
to get our plants removal rates. As indicated on this report, it appears that there were also
higher levels of Total Arsenic found in out Influent samples for this month.
With this being said, we plan to continue monitoring our Influent and Effluent as mentioned
above, and begin sampling possible source(s), from our Industrial User(s) more frequently.

If you should have any questions concerning this matter, please feel free to contact me at 704-

On August 4, 2011, this Office received an amended Discharging Monitoring Report (DMR) for
March 2011, in response to the above referenced Notice of Violation (NOV). The NOV was issued for
failure to monitor flow at Outfall 001 for the week ending April 2, 2011.
The cover letter to the amended DMR noted that the flow value for March 31, 2011, was inadvertently
left off the originally submitted DMR. Based on the amended DMR this Office is rescinding the above
referenced Notice of Violation. If you have any further questions concerning this matter; please do
not hesitate to contact Marcia Allocco at [phone].

Dear Mr. Wells:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$785.06 ($700.00 civil penalty + $85.06 enforcement costs) against the City of Kings Mountain.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the self -
monitoring data reported for December 2010. This review has shown the subject facility to be in
violation of the discharge limitations found in NPDES Permit No. NC0079740. The violations are
summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the City of Kings Mountain
violated the terms, conditions, or requirements of NPDES Permit No. NCO079740 and North Carolina
General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. A civil
penalty may be assessed in accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority
provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and the Director
of the Division of Water Quality, I, Robert B. Krebs, Surface Water Protection Regional Supervisor
for the Mooresville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against the City of
Kings Mountain:

$ 85.06
$ 785.06
TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
Enforcement costs.
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B.-282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the'violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violations were 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 Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

O:
2. Submit a written request for remission 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 reasona'.leness of the amount of the 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 that no factual or
legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the
civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed
below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S.- 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission must be
submitted in writing. The Director 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 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.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Waiver of Right to
an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed
"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings:
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a
petition for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of

Administrative Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered tiled when it is received in

Raleigh, NC 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 (30) days of receipt of this notice, as
evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action.
Please be advised that additional penalties may be assessed for violations that occur after the
review period of this assessment. If the violations are of a continuing nature not related to operation
and/or maintenance problems and you anticipate remedial construction activities then you may wish
to consider applying for a Special Order by Consent If you have any questions about this civil penalty

ASSESSMENT FACTORS
Violator:
Citv of Kings Mountain
Facility:
Ellison WTP
County:
Cleveland
Case Number:
LV-2011-0071
Permit Number:
NC0079740
1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violation;
No harm has been established.
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
The TSS concentration of 144.0 mg/L on December 10, 2010, exceeded the daily maximum permit
limit by 220%. This daily maximum exceeded caused the monthly average concentration (76.5 mg/L)
to exceed the permit limit of 30.0 Mg/L by 155%. The TRC concentration of 245 µg/L on December
10, 2010, exceeded the daily maximum permit limit of 28 µg/L by 775%.
3) ! The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
The effect on the receiving stream is unknown. Increased suspended solids increase the water
temperature, thus reducing the amount of oxygen in water harming aquatic life. They also reduce the
amount of natural sunlight that penetrates through the water, further decreasing oxygen production
and photosynthesis. In addition, high levels of solids can kill fish by clogging their gills, lowering their
resistance to disease, and smothering their eggs along with other benthic organisms. Residual
chlorine reacts with organic matter in water and creates disinfection by-products (trihalomethanes,.
haloacetic acids, etc.), which are toxic to both humans and aquatic organisms.
4) � The cost of rectifying the damage;
No damage has been documented.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
The amount of money saved by noncompliance is unknown.
6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
The Division of Water Quality has no evidence that the violations were committed willfully or
intentionally. The permittee notes on the DMR that the TRC exceedance was due to high
manganese in the influent to the WTP and an error by the lab not to correct for this interference.
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
There have been five previous CPAs for the Ellison WTP during the life of the permit with one CPA
issued in the past twelve months.

Case Number Description
MV-2010-0032 $635.06 for monitoring violations of aluminum, iron, flow, TRC, and settleable
solids. Penalty was paid in full.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
The cost to the Division of Water Quality is $85.06.

Comment: Effluent pH, TRC, settleable solids, and total suspended solids are
performed under the City of Kings Mountain Pilot Creek WWTP Laboratory
(Certification #222). Par Laboratories, Inc. (Certification #20) has also been contracted
to provide analytical support (turbidity and metals).
Effluent Sampling
Is composite sampling flow proportional?
Is sample collected below all treatment units?
Is proper volume collected?
Is the tubing clean?
# Is proper temperature set for sample storage (kept at less than or equal to 6.0 degrees Celsius)?

Comment: On several occasions, effluent samples were not collected during a
representative discharge event. Please be advised that any future effluent sampling
events must be performed during a representative effluent discharge as required by the
permit. Please be advised that any additional monitoring of the effluent (including
parameters not required by the permit) must be performed by a certified laboratory and
included in the calculations and reporting on the appropriate DMR.

TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
Enforcement costs.
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken into account the
Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to
private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violations were 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 Compliance/Enforcement Unit

Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
E6� 7
2. Submit a written request for remission 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 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 that no factual or
legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the
civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed
below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be
considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282. I (b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission must be
submitted in writing. The Director 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 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.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed "Waiver of Right to
an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty (30) days of receipt of this
notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed
"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Subject: Renewal Notice
NPDES Permit NCO079740
Ellison WTP
Cleveland County
Dear Permittee:
The subject permit expires on August 31, 2003. North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) requires
that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. If you have already
mailed your renewal application, you may disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than March 4, 2003.
Failure to request renewal of the permit by this date may result in a civil assessment of at least $500.00. Larger penalties may be
assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after August 31, 2003 (or if continuation of the permit is desired), the current
permit must be renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1
and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Bob Sledge of the
Division's Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 547. You may also contact the Mooresville Regional
Office at [phone] to begin the rescission process.
Use the enclosed checklist to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must submit with
the permit renewal application. If you have and, questions, please contact Valery Stephens at [phone], extension 520.
Sincerely,
Charles H. Weaver, Jr.

such Authorized Representative (see Part II.B.111 of the existing NPDES permit).
❑ A narrative description of the sludge management plan for the facility. Describe how sludge (or other
solids) generated during wastewater treatment are handled and disposed. If your facility has no such
plan (or the permitted facility does not generate any solids), explain this in writing. Submit one signed
original and two copies.
The following items must be submitted by any Municipal or Industrial facilities discharging
process wastewater:
Industrial facilities classified as Primary Industries (see Appendices A-D to Title 40 of the Code of Federal
Regulations, Part 122) and ALL Municipal facilities with a permitted flow >_ 1.0 MGD must submit a
Priority Pollutant Analysis (PPA) in accordance with 40 CFR Part 122.21.
The above requirement does NOT apply to privately owned facilities treating 100%
domestic wastewater, or facilities which discharge non process wastewater (cooling
water, filter backwash, etc.)
