This letter reflects an infraction of not having a proper established ORC for the facility. Immediately following Harry's accident in September, 2014 there was a vacancy on the route. I had one C-Well operator running just water plants at that time. I moved all of our operators into operating the various vacant waste water facilities while we kept vigilance at the hospital. All of the operators already had a 40 + week on their facilities. When Kevin Bryan and Shannon James became grade I operators, I took the burdens carried by the original operators and divided both waste water and well systems between the two. They were already C-Well operators. I asked for and received a copy of the regulation from Jeff Menzel to ensure that I had legal authority to do this. Please note that, in the 23 years of being in business, this is one of very few times we have had to resort to this rule and wanted confirmation of memory. I have searched and posted and requested of others for grade II operators. They are very hard to locate. In the course of this a couple of things were overlooked by me and my staff. (1) I and Terry Storey both miscounted the number of days since both operators started in the mid part of the month. We miscounted days by one month. (2) The documentation on the paper work may have been incorrect. I truly didn't think this was the case until my recent discussion with Janet Cantwell. If we did misrepresent the paper work it was truly unintentional and will be obliged to amend any and all you deem necessary. I would appreciate guidance on this should it be the case. Terry Storey has already submitted new ORC paperwork to Raleigh for this and other facilities impacted by the sudden and unforeseen need. Please understand that this oversight did not have any input by the client. I do understand that they are ultimately responsible for their facility; however any and all fines will be covered by James & James. I would appreciate understanding, instruction and insight into this matter. This is uncharted territory for us in that we have never had to make such sudden decisions under duress. Please offer your thoughts and conclusions as to how we can ratify this issue.

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. B ass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar 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 Version 712009 iNPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 18 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 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). DWQ or "the Division" The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. EPA The United States Environmental Protection Agency Facility Closure Cessation of all activities that require coverage under this NPDES permit. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]' shall be considered = 1. Version 712009 iNj?DES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 18 Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the CWA. Instantaneous flow measurement A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. Monthly Average (concentration limit), The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration limitl The average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the CWA. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, .lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average (concentration limitl The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1. Duty to Comply The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit.

Performance This system had some issues with fecal coliform due to the organic loading in the chlorine and de -chlorination tanks. The chlorine was increased and the tanks pumped to greatly reduce this opportunity. In July, an air leak was repaired in a diffuser in the first aeration basin. Also in July, a motor was replaced on one of the combination units. Violations and corrective actions taken 1. January, 2010 a. Fecal Coliform i. 1/26 @ 560 colonies/100 mis 1. The chlorine contact chamber had frozen in the severe temperatures not allowing for the proper disinfection to occur. 2. June, 2010 a. Fecal Coliform i. 6/22 @ >600 colonies/100 mis 1. The detention time in the chlorine contact chamber is extremely long due to low flow conditions. This deteriorates the residuals allowing for bacteriological growth to begin. The chlorine was increased to accommodate this issue. 3. July, 2010 a. Fecal Coliform i. 7/7 @ >600 colonies/100mis 1. Removed the organic matter in the chlorine contact chamber by pump truck allowing for increased detention time and less bacteria growth. 4. August, 2010 a. Fecal Coliform i. 8/3 @ 710 colonies/100 mis 1. Organic matter was removed from the de -chlorination tank to attempt to prohibit bacteria growth in this tank as well.

The violations occurred during the worst winter our, company has experienced since the inception. Many systems over many counties froze in the clarifier and chlorine contact chamber. The following items were n-ue for this system. 1) The clarifier and at least 18" in the chlorine contact chamber fioze. Also the de-chlor chamber froze at least 12" thick. 2) The aeration basin was 7/8 covered in ice. The only portion not frozen solid was near the diffuser The attempted repairs to alleviate this problem: I ) We used ice picks to break up the ice in the clarifie, and de-chlor chambers. The chlorine contact chamher water level is about 6 feet down. 2) The mill was closed many of the days due to the road conditions and gave us a no flow situation many days. 3) To sample we had to literally chip away the ice to achieve a trickle of water. This water had sat in the concrete chambers many days without flow therefore there was no daily contact with new chlorine and, with the ice, additional dosing was not an option. The freeze was so extensive and deep that we believe that the penalty should be remitted This freeze was truly an Act of God and was beyond the control of human intervention We would appreciate your consideration in this matter.

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) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in NCGS 14313-282.1(b) was 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 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).

The permit expires on 11-30-2010. Please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration A renewal notice will be mailed as a reminder. The daily operator log was present on -site and had good notation of daily events, process control and field testing data. TREATMENT UNITS / PROCESS CONTROL TESTING DATA: The activated sludge aeration basin process control data was as follows: Temperature = 14.6 degrees Celsius pH = 7.0 units Dissolved Oxygen = 2.21 mg/I Settleable Solids = 300 ml/I = 30% EFFLUENT: The effluent data was as follows: Dissolved Oxygen = 3.2 mg/I pH = 7.1 units Temperature = 14.6 degrees Celsius Chlorine = <15 ug/I Page # 2 Permit: NCO037176 Inspection Date: 04/15/2010 Owner - Facility: Bon Worth WWTP Inspection Type: Compliance Sampling OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE / EFFLUENT / SUMMARY: Ms. Juanita James, ORC contractor, assisted in the inspection. Effluent samples were collected on the day of the inspection. The following lab results indicated that the facility was in non-compliance with the permit limits for fecal coliform. Lab Results: BOD = 9.2 mg/I TSS = 20 mg/I Fecal coliform = >2,000 col/100 ml -- the daily maximum limit is 400 col/100 ml . It appears that this facility is being properly operated and maintained, however the effluent grab sample for fecal coliform indicated non-compliance with permit limits. Recommendation: Increase the number of chlorine tablet tubes in operation from one to two, to ensure proper disinfection. SYSTEM PERFORMANCE ANNUAL REPORT: The 2009 System Performance Annual Report was received by the Division on 3-5-10.
