Dear Mr. Khan:

LINDA CULPEPPER
Interim Director
Please find enclosed the Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted on November 2, 2017 by Ori Tuvia.
The cooperation of Daniel Dougherty and Ron Haynes during the site visit was much appreciated.
The facility has shown progress with regard to determining if the effluent from the truck stop reaches
the treatment unit but the following violations still need to be addressed:
In accordance with Part II, Section D.6 of the subject permit, (Records and Retention), "Except for
records monitoring information required by this permit related to the permittee's sewage sludge
use and disposal activates, which shall be retained for a period of at least five years (or longer as
required by 40 CFR 503), the permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information
including":
• All calibration and maintenance records
• All original strip chart recording of continuous monitoring instrumentation
• Copies of all reports required by the permit
• Copies of all data used to complete the application for this permit.
These records or copies shall be maintained for a period of at least three (3) years from the date of the
sample, measurement, report or application. At the time of the inspection, no records were available for
review for the period August 1, 2014 through August 1, 2017. It is the duty of the permittee to maintain all
records for a least three (3) years. The records that were unavailable include:
• Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs)
• Lab results with Chain of Custody
• Flow meter readings
• pH and other relevant instrument calibration records
Mooresville Regional Office
Location: 610 East Center Ave., Suite 301 Mooresville, NC 28115

• ORC log (including visitation records)
• Septic tank pumping records
• Maintenance logs
2. In accordance with Part II, Section C.2 of the subject permit, proper Operation and Maintenance
(0&M) of the WWTP is required. As noted at the time of the inspection, the following areas of
concern should be addressed:
• Dye test is needed to determine if the effluent from the truck stop reaches the treatment
unit and to the find the location of the second discharge location. This should be
investigated as low solids could indicate that no solids are reaching the wastewater
treatment plant.
• septic tank must be properly sealed to avoid leaching wastewater to the ground.
• The facility has two (2) treatment trains: One is active and the other is inactive. The active
train has broken grating. The inactive treatment train has missing grating. Proper grating is
needed to insure a safe work environment.
Please be advised this letter is a Notice of Continuing Violation. If all issues are not resolved or addressed
within fifteen (15) days of receipt, the next step will be the issuance of a Notice of Violation and Notice of
Recommendation for Enforcement (NOV/NRE).
A Notice of Violation and Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement, pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A, may
result in a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per day, per violation and
may be assessed against any person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or
requirements of any permit issued pursuant to G.S. 143-215.1.
The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions concerning this report,
please do not hesitate to contact Ori Tuvia at [phone], or at [e-mail].

Dear Mr. Khan:
Enclosed, please find enclosed the Compliance Evaluation Inspection report for the inspection conducted
on August 8, 2018, by Ori Tuvia. The cooperation of your system operators Daniel Dougherty and Ron Haynes
during the site visit was much appreciated.
Based on the observations during this inspection and previous inspections, while conditions at the
WWTP have improved, the following violations need to be addressed:
In accordance with Part II, Section C.2 of the subject permit, proper Operation and Maintenance
(0&M) of the WWTP is required. The following treatment systems listed in the permit and were
found to be non -operational at the time of the inspection and need to be addressed:
• Two septic tanks were non -operational, leaking, not piped, nor valved. The two septic tanks
must be properly sealed to avoid leaching wastewater to the ground, and piped so they can
be used as indicated in the permit.
• The facility has two (2) permitted aeration basins: Only one of the aeration basins was
operational, the second basin had no blowers and was being used as a storage tank to store
sludge. Additionally, the aeration basin grating was insufficient, floor grating should be
properly installed to ensure the safety of the ORC/operators and DWR staff.
• The ORC indicated that the aerobic digester and a holding tank may be leaking. The tanks
should be tested for leaking and if found to be leaking they should be fixed and properly
maintained.
• At the time of the inspection the flow meter chart recorder was not operational.
• At the time of the inspection, the right of way to the outfall was overgrown and the outfall
could not be reached. The right of way should be maintained to an acceptable level that will
allow the facility staff and DWR personal to examine the outfall safely.

INTERIM MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION REPORT
Action Items from 8/9/2018 Inspection and Permit NCO032867 latest revision
Kings Mountain Travel Plaza
September 3, 2018
1) Repair leak in septic tanks and connect piping to allow operation.
The two septic tanks previously used as oil and grease separators at the plant influent have leaks in
the horizontal seams between the two tanks. On the last pump event for the tank contents it was
found that wastewater leaked from the tanks causing a public health issue and uncontrolled
discharge. The leaks must be stopped and the septic tanks are listed in the new permit, therefore,
they must be available for use. A schedule and budget should be prepared for this work as well as
the other numbered items below.
Repairing the tanks and sealing the leaks may require entry into the tanks or their removal and
replacement. Regardless of the leaks, the tanks need new access lids. The contents of the tanks
must be removed in order to proceed with the work. The piping at the influent must be modified to
connect the tanks with a by-pass. Following are the leak repair options in ascending order of effort
and cost:
(A) Hand auger between the tanks, check for leak location, and attempt to seal with external
application of bentonite clay and/or expansive concrete. This step is recommended and is
expected to entail the lowest cost. The tanks will be filled with water and the repair check by
observing the tank levels. The operators can provide the effort to do this work. If the work
is not successful and the leakage continues, it will be necessary to proceed with the other
options.
(B) Clean the tanks and enter to apply sealing material on the inside of the tanks horizontal
seam. This work could be done by the operators or an outside contractor.
(C) Remove existing tanks and install new tanks. This option will incur the highest cost but
would allow the position of the tanks to be moved back so that the connecting piping can be
more easily installed at the influent. The work would require an outside contractor.
2) Install new blowers in the inactive aeration basin and repair grating to make safe
The blowers for this aeration basin were removed at some time in the past and used on the active
basin. The housing for the blowers and the motors remain. Any equipment or piping including the
electrical system, motors, and diffusers must be inspected and replaced as necessary. New or used
blowers of the correct size must be acquired and installed. The operators can assist with inspection
and locating a source for new blowers. Installing the motors will require an outside contractor

'11

The repairs made to the grating on the unit were found to be unsatisfactory at the DEQ annual
inspection and the grating over the aeration basin should be replaced completely.
3) Check for leaks in the upper septic tanks and repair as needed
This item is less intensive and may not require a large effort outside of operator time. However, the
lids on the septic tanks need replacement. Other leaks that may be identified including stormwater
leakage to fill the tanks undesirably must be repaired.
4) Clear the right-of-way to Outfall 001 and maintain during the year.
The operators have already worked on this item. We found heavy growth of kudzu near the lower
turn to the west of the outfall piping. We can continue to work on this item and using Dan
Dougherty's equipment clear the route to the outfall if you provide the necessary financial backing
by paying promptly for time spent and in advance for estimated costs. As you are aware, we do the
yard maintenance inside the fence at the wastewater plant. Right-of-way maintenance is an extra
expense that should now be addressed.
We have not been able to identify the exact route of piping from the plant to the outfall after
repeated checks. In order to assure that the piping is intact, we will need to better determine the
pipe route and check flow at the outfall to verify the absence of leak in the system.
5) Repair the flow meter and weir box on the effluent near the chlorine contact basin
The weir box had a leak under the weir plate that required repair. The flow recorder needs to be
made functional with recorder strip chart and annual calibration. This flow recorder is obsolete and
consideration should be given to replacement.
6) Other items — mentioned in the inspection report by DEQ or Operator observations
The plant lighting should be upgraded to allow night time work in the event of failure or schedule
necessity. At present, the existing lighting outside the shed is not functional and the fixtures are
insufficient for work on the flow meter and other locations in the plant. Some of the outlets do not
work or are infested with fire ants causing difficulty in their use. It is recommended to add an
overhead spotlight near the influent and raise the light fixture at the shed.
A file system should be created at the truck stop office for records related to the wastewater plant
operation and maintained by the local site manager with the assistance of the operators. An account
should be set up with Blue Book or other suppliers to allow the operators to order disinfection
tablets and other supplies on a regular basis.

INTERIM MAINTENANCE AND OPERATION REPORT
Action Items from 8/9/2018 Inspection and Permit NCO032867 latest revision
Kings Mountain Travel Plaza
September 3, 2018
1) Repair leak in septic tanks and connect piping to allow operation.
The two septic tanks previously used as oil and grease separators at the plant influent have leaks in
the horizontal seams between the two tanks. On the last pump event for the tank contents it was
found that wastewater leaked from the tanks causing a public health issue and uncontrolled
discharge. The leaks must be stopped and the septic tanks are listed in the new permit, therefore,
they must be available for use. A schedule and budget should be prepared for this work as well as
the other numbered items below.
Repairing the tanks and sealing the leaks may require entry into the tanks or their removal and
replacement. Regardless of the leaks, the tanks need new access lids. The contents of the tanks
must be removed in order to proceed with the work. The piping at the influent must be modified to
connect the tanks with a by-pass. Following are the leak repair options in ascending order of effort
and cost:
(A) Hand auger between the tanks, check for leak location, and attempt to seal with external
application of bentonite clay and/or expansive concrete. This step is recommended and is
expected to entail the lowest cost. The tanks will be filled with water and the repair check by
observing the tank levels. The operators can provide the effort to do this work. If the work
is not successful and the leakage continues, it will be necessary to proceed with the other
options.
(B) Clean the tanks and enter to apply sealing material on the inside of the tanks horizontal
seam. This work could be done by the operators or an outside contractor.
(C) Remove existing tanks and install new tanks. This option will incur the highest cost but
would allow the position of the tanks to be moved back so that the connecting piping can be
more easily installed at the influent. The work would require an outside contractor.
2) Install new blowers in the inactive aeration basin and repair grating to make safe
The blowers for this aeration basin were removed at some time in the past and used on the active
basin. The housing for the blowers and the motors remain. Any equipment or piping including the
electrical system, motors, and diffusers must be inspected and replaced as necessary. New or used
blowers of the correct size must be acquired and installed. The operators can assist with inspection
and locating a source for new blowers. Installing the motors will require an outside contractor

-"qqq

PPPPPPF-
The repairs made to the grating on the unit were found to be unsatisfactory at the DEQ annual
inspection and the grating over the aeration basin should be replaced completely.
3) Check for leaks in the upper septic tanks and repair as needed
This item is less intensive and may not require a large effort outside of operator time. However, the
lids on the septic tanks need replacement. Other leaks that may be identified including stormwater
leakage to fill the tanks undesirably must be repaired.
4) Clear the right-of-way to Outfall 001 and maintain during the year.
The operators have already worked on this item. We found heavy growth of kudzu near the lower
turn to the west of the outfall piping. We can continue to work on this item and using Dan
Dougherty's equipment clear the route to the outfall if you provide the necessary financial backing
by paying promptly for time spent and in advance for estimated costs. As you are aware, we do the
yard maintenance inside the fence at the wastewater plant. Right-of-way maintenance is an extra
expense that should now be addressed.
We have not been able to identify the exact route of piping from the plant to the outfall after
repeated checks. In order to assure that the piping is intact, we will need to better determine the
pipe route and check flow at the outfall to verify the absence of leak in the system.
5) Repair the flow meter and weir box on the effluent near the chlorine contact basin
The weir box had a leak under the weir plate that required repair. The flow recorder needs to be
made functional with recorder strip chart and annual calibration. This flow recorder is obsolete and
consideration should be given to replacement.
6) Other items — mentioned in the inspection report by DEQ or Operator observations
The plant lighting should be upgraded to allow night time work in the event of failure or schedule
necessity. At present, the existing lighting outside the shed is not functional and the fixtures are
insufficient for work on the flow meter and other locations in the plant. Some of the outlets do not
work or are infested with fire ants causing difficulty in their use. It is recommended to add an
overhead spotlight near the influent and raise the light fixture at the shed.
A file system should be created at the truck stop office for records related to the wastewater plant
operation and maintained by the local site manager with the assistance of the operators. An account
should be set up with Blue Book or other suppliers to allow the operators to order disinfection
tablets and other supplies on a regular basis.

Subject: Notice of Continuing Violation and Recommendation for Enforcement
NOV-2020-PC-0073
Kings Mountain Travel Plaza WWTP
NPDES Permit NCO032867
Cleveland County
Dear Mr. Khan:
Enclosed please find the Compliance Evaluation Inspection report for the inspection conducted on January
28, 2020, by Ori Tuvia. The cooperation of your system operators Daniel Dougherty and Ron Haynes during the
site visit was much appreciated.
Previous inspection dated August 8, 2018, resulted in the issuance of a Notice of Violation (NOV-2018-
PC-0323 dated August 15, 2018). The following violations noted during the previous inspection have not been
resolved and require immediate attention:
1. In accordance with Part II, Section C.2 of the subject permit, proper. Operation and Maintenance
(O&M) of the WWTP is required. The following treatment units/equipment/components are listed
in the permit and were found to be non -operational at the time of the inspection and need to be
addressed:
Two septic tanks were not operational, leaking, and not piped nor valved. The two septic
tanks must be properly sealed to avoid leaching wastewater to the ground and properly piped
so they can be used as indicated in the permit.
The facility has two (2) permitted aeration basins: Only one of the aeration basins was
operational. The second aeration basin had no blowers and was being used as a sludge
storage tank. Additionally, the aeration basin grating was insufficient. Grating should be
properly installed to ensure the safety of the ORC/operators and DWR staff (image 2).

The ORC indicated that the aerobic digester and a holding tank may be leaking. The
should be tested for leaks and if found to be leaking they should be immediately rep,
properly maintained.
At the time of the inspection, the flow meter chart recorder was not operational.
In addition to the previously observed continuing violations, the following maintenance issues were
observed and require immediate action:
• At the time of the inspection, the flow meter was not operational. The flow meter censor was
underwater and not operational (see image 1). The flow meter is a permitted treatment
component listed in the permit.
There are several concerns regarding Outfall 002:
o It is not clear what path the discharge line takes once it leaves the oil grease separator
until it reaches the effluent pipe;
o At the time of the inspection, the oil grease separator needed to be pumped out (and
properly disposed);
o Connecting pipes to the oil grease separator need to be cleaned out as they were
observed to have a build-up of sludge (Image 3) .
An additional issue documented at the time of the inspection was that Mr. Ron Haynes has been operating
the plant without being officially designated as an ORC or Backup ORC. All personnel that operate the wastewater
treatment system must be officially designated for the system. You may designate more than one Backup ORC.
A Notice of Violation and Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement, pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A,
may result in a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per day, per violation
and may be assessed against any person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions, or
requirements of any permit issued pursuant to G.S. 143-215.1. You are requested to respond to this Notice in
writing within ten (10) days of receipt indicating your Plan of Action to ensure future compliance.
The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions concerning this report,
please do not hesitate to contact Ori Tuvia at [phone], or at ori.tuvialcr�,ncdenr.gov.
Sincerely.

New permit effective June 22, 2018 lists the following treatment components: Two septic tanks with
piping and valves, two aeration basins each equipped with two positive displacement blowers, an
aerobic digester, a holding tank, and One flow measuring system comprised of a 22-1/2-degree
V-notch weir and Flow Meter with totalizer and chart recorder. At the time of the inspection: Two septic
tanks were non -operational, leaking, not piped, nor valved. The two septic tanks must be properly
sealed to avoid leaching wastewater to the ground, and piped so they can be used as indicated in the
permit. The facility has two (2) permitted aeration basins: Only one of the aeration basins was
operational, the second basin had no blowers and was used as a storage tank to store sludge.
Additionally, the aeration basin grating was insufficient, floor grating should be properly installed to
ensure the safety of the ORC/operators and DWR staff. The ORC indicated that the aerobic digester
and a holding tank may be leaking. The tanks should be tested for leaking and if found to be leaking
they should be fixed and properly maintained. At the time of the inspection the flow meter was not
operational. flow meter censor was underwater. Properly operating flow meter is needed to determine
the discharge from the treatment plant.

SUBJECT: King's Mountain Enforcement Follow up
Permit No. NC0032867
Kings Mountain Travel Plaza
Cleveland County
Dear Mr. Khan:
On June 25, 2019, staff and myself with the Mooresville Regional Office met with you to discuss
the ongoing compliance issues at the subject facility as well as outstanding civil penalties assessed
against the subject facility. During this meeting, you indicated that you were pursuing alternative
means of wastewater disposal at the subject facility in order to ultimately rescind the subject NPDES
Permit. As per the information you provided, these options included either connecting to the City of
Kings Mountain's sewer system or obtaining approval from the Cleveland County Health Department to
construct an appropriate conventional septic tank/drain field. You indicated that you had a scheduled
meeting with the City of Kings Mountain immediately following our meeting on June 25th regarding the
sewer line connection. Based on information you provided to this Office from the City of Kings
Mountain, we understand that connection to the City of King's Mountain sewer collection system is
currently not a feasible option. This Office also contacted the Cleveland County Health Department on
August 21, 2019 and were informed that no application for a conventional septic tank/drain field for the
subject property has been received.
Due to the lack of progress in achieving compliance with NPDES Permit No. NC0032867,
completing the facility repairs noted in previous compliance inspections and Division correspondences,
and/or securing alternative means of wastewater treatment and disposal, the following unpaid civil

Hello Ron. lt15 e-
1 would like to thank you, Dan and Mr. Fred Summers (NCRWA) for your time and courtesies extended to me
today while meeting at the Kings Mountain Truck Stop WWTP. You have recently taken charge over this plant
as ORC and asked that I stop in to evaluate concerns with elevated ammonia nitrogen. During our meeting we
discussed plant data, process control, performed microscopic exams, nutrient testing and Fred worked with you
to determine flow schematics and clean trains which may be contributing to elevated NH3. Results as follows:
Plant Data:
* First, it can be very difficult to operate a small package plant with limited plant data. We first need to know
flow schematics. Fred was very instrumental in not only assisting with cleaning but also helping to understand
flow schematics. He can provide more information than what I observed.
* * Flow coming into a septic tank with two separate chambers or sides (parallel). I will describe as chamber on
the left(which is closest to the auto repair). Chamber on the right which is closest to the effluent side of the
W WTP.
* * You determined that the chamber on the right is not on-line. It discharges to the other WWTP that is off-line.
This side of the septic tank had virtually no accumulated solids.
* * The chamber on the left discharges to the WWTP that is on-line. It did contain quite a bit of accumulated
solids.
* You cleaned the train (just after the secondary clarifier- much like a tertiary secondary clarifier) that had
considerable accumulated solids and could be contributing to elevated effluent ammonia nitrogen. You also
cleaned the accumulated solids out of the chlorine contact chamber which could also be contributing to elevated
effluent ammonia nitrogen.
* We believe that the plant capacity is around 1,500GPD. Not sure of daily average flow. Expect that with rain
events we could be experiencing elevated hydraulic loadings via considerable I & I.
* To have a basic understanding of what we are dealing with (base line) I would suggest you test for the
following:
** Influent BOD and COD (24 hour composite samples).
** Influent NH3 (from the septic tank) and effluent:
** Influent and effluent alkalinity.
* Influent and effluent NO2 (nitrite) and NO3 (nitrate) prior to chlorination.
** MLSS and MLVSS
** Influent Phosphates (from septic tank).
* * Frequent monitoring of D.O., pH and 30 minute settleabilities (in lieu of running MLSS frequently). Once
we have a base line of the MLSS in comparison to the settleability we can estimate.
*** As you know, there is considerably more testing that could be run (MCRT, TSS, F/M, etc.) but I am trying
to keep it minimal to reduce cost.
Microscopic Exam:
* A few testate amoeba's, a few flagellates, 3 fee swimming ciliates and 2 rotifers. The floc varied in size with
5% large, 30% medium and 65% small. Approximately 30% of the floc is round and globular (dense) with 70%
weak and diffuse (irregular). The bulk water contained quite a bit of pin floc, debris and particulate matter.
Filamentous bacteria on a scale of 0 - 6 (with 0 being none and 6 being excessive) is ranked at 1 (few). <5%

or
EPS. No zooglea. No cysts.
Nutrient Testing:
* Influent NH3 (grab sample from septic tank) @ 200mg/L range. (very high)
* Influent PO4 (grab sample from septic tank) @ 75 - 80mg/L range. (very high) a-0
* Effluent NH3 (grab sample prior to chlorination) @ 55 to 60mg/L range. * Effluent NO3 (nitrate)(sample prior to chlorination) @ 20mg/L range.
NOTE: Influent NH3 from truck stops, rest areas, etc. is typically in the 35 to mg/L range. PO4 is typically it
the 5 to 15mg/L range. Very elevated! Chemicals being used in rest rooms, in repair garage, concrete surface
cleaners?
30 minute/ I hour settleabilities: 500mL sample.
* 30 minute settled to 60mL of solids with a very turbid supernatant.
* 1 hour settled to 40mL of solids with a very turbid supernatant.
Conclusions/Recommendation s:
* The microscopic exam indicates that we have a weak, old biomass with some young sludge age indicators
trying to establish. No concerns with excessive filaments but a concern with the fact we have very few. We need
filaments to establish healthy floc formation.
* Nutrient testing indicates that we have excessive loadings of ammonia nitrogen and phosphorus. The
phosphorus is somewhat inhibitory and the ammonia nitrogen is far above what this plant is designed to treat.
TO KEEP IT SIMPLE (and possibly maintain limits).
* The cleaning of the tertiary secondary clarifier and chlorine contact chamber will most help to reduce effluent
NH3. Not sure how much. We will see if enough to meet permit limits. As I tested 20mg/L of nitrate (NO3) in
the effluent we are nitrifying. Unless using chemicals upstream which contain nitrate. As mentioned above, test
influent NO3.
* Consider cleaning out the accumulated solids in the septic tank. As we discussed, the accumulated solids will
produce ammonia nitrogen biologically. To briefly explain, organics will break down producing amino acids.
The amino acids will break down into amines. The amines will break down into ammonia nitrogen.
* Evaluate chemicals being used for sanitation in the bathrooms and chemicals used at the auto repair shop. We
are looking for chemicals which contain high concentrations of ammonia nitrogen and phosphors. Most
schools that I deal with think that the chemicals are not bad as they use very little. However, they may contain
as much as 30,000 to 75,OOOmg/L of ammonia or even worse Quaternary ammonia compounds (biocides). The
phosphorus could be TSP (Trisodium phosphates), MSP (monosodium phosphates) or DSP (disodium
phosphate) used for cleaning in the restrooms, kitchen or auto shop. Just look for phosphates and call to discuss.
We can discuss options such as using bleach in the restrooms. Chlorine will not only clean, disinfect but also
oxidize ammonia and potentially help reduce loadings to the receiving WWTP.

FV
* Bioaugmentation: Utilize a bioaugmentation program with bacterial cultures to build a healthy, hearty biomass
(MLSS/MLVSS). The microscopic exam indicates we have a very unhealthy population. The products of choice
ace as follows:
** BioRemove 4100 is a blend of bacteria. This blend will not only help to improve assimilation of ammonia
nitrogen but provide overall plant stability and buffer capacity.
** Accelerator C is a blend of carbon (food source (BOD)), micro and macro -nutrients. This will help to build
the biomass while adding the BioRemove 4100 and supplement needed BOD and nutrients.
Dosage: Based on current health of the bioreactor, capacity, flow, etc.
DAY lbs. BioRemove 4100 lbs. Accelerator C
1 & 2 3 pounds per day 1 1/2 pounds per day
3 - 5 1 pound per day 1/2 pound per day
6 - 10 1/2 pound per day 1/2 pound 3 days a week (Mon, Wed, Fri.)
Maintenance To be discussed. May be 1/2 pound twice a week and Accelerator as needed.
* maintenance may not be needed at all. We can discuss how things are looking after the above
recommendations have been addressed and implemented.
Please call or e-mail me if you have any questions. I have outlined what I think would be the simple approach. If
this is not sufficient to meet and maintain permit limits we can discuss other options (such as aerating the septic
tank, etc.).
Thank you,

Cleveland County
Dear Mr. Basinger:
This letter is our response to yours of September 8, 2017 and includes the action plan that you
requested.
The first item of your letter lists the records that are to be retained for three years and that were not
available during the recent inspection. The Owner has relied on the previous Operator in
Responsible Charge (ORC) to maintain these records. Due to problems related to billing, the
previous ORC, Kace Environmental resigned at the end of July 2017 and has not completed a turn-
over of records etc. We have been in touch with Kace to obtain the records and arrange for the
completion of the eDMR for July 2017. Kace advised that they attached copies of the lab reports to
their invoices so we are now going through the files to pull those documents. Our plan is to create
separate files for the documents on your list. The documents will be available at the office of the
Kings Mountain Travel Plaza except for the log book for the WWTP which will be available at the
plant.
Questions listed in the second item of the NOV were related to the equipment and tanks of the
wastewater plant.
• We will conduct a dye test as required by October 16, 2017 and check the sewer line
between the truck terminal and the wastewater plant
• The equipment in the area downhill from the plant will be checked at the same time as the
evaluation of piping from the truck terminal
• The operators have inserted caps and plugs to isolate the inactive part of the equipment.
Some additional leakage has been observed and we plan take further action using bentonite
clay to make a better seal
• We are in the process of identifying a supplier to obtain replacement grating or make plans
to construct and install covers for the affected areas with missing grates on the inactive
basin.

• The broken air line for the RAS has been repaired by the operators
• There are three diffusers in the active aeration basin. We have been informed that there was
a leak on only one of the three. The operators have taken out the sections of piping that
were broken and leaking. The diffuser was removed when the repairs were ongoing and it is
intact and operable as are the other two diffusers. We are awaiting the procurement of
fittings to put the diffuser back in operation. This work should be finished before
September 30, 2017. Meanwhile the plant is in operation with two diffusers and using both
blowers at times.
• We are continuing to investigate the visual alarm. It appears that it was related to an old
pump controller that is no longer part of the active wastewater plant equipment As this
equipment is outside the institutional memory of the current management, we are finding it
difficult to identify but will evaluate and make a recommendation to you on or before
October 31, 2017 to confirm that the alarm is not needed and that it is not an auxiliary part
of the existing treatment system.
We look forward to continued discussion of these items if required and ask for your patience while
we work through them.
Sincerely,
/ Laeeq Khan, President

Cleveland County
Dear Mr. Basinger:
This letter is our response to yours of September 8, 2017 and includes the action plan that you
requested.
The first item of your letter lists the records that are to be retained for three years and that were not
available during the recent inspection. The Owner has relied on the previous Operator in
Responsible Charge (ORC) to maintain these records. Due to problems related to billing, the
previous ORC, Kace Environmental resigned at the end of July 2017 and has not completed a turn-
over of records etc. We have been in touch with Kace to obtain the records and arrange for the
completion of the eDMR for July 2017. Kace advised that they attached copies of the lab reports to
their invoices so we are now going through the files to pull those documents. Our plan is to create
separate files for the documents on your list. The documents will be available at the office of the
Kings Mountain Travel Plaza except for the log book for the WWTP which will be available at the
plant.
Questions listed in the second item of the NOV were related to the equipment and tanks of the
wastewater plant.
• We will conduct a dye test as required by October 16, 2017 and check the sewer line
between the truck terminal and the wastewater plant
• The equipment in the area downhill from the plant will be checked at the same time as the
evaluation of piping from the truck terminal
• The operators have inserted caps and plugs to isolate the inactive part of the equipment
Some additional leakage has been observed and we plan take further action using bentonite
clay to make a better seal.
• We are in the process of identifying a supplier to obtain replacement grating or make plans
to construct and install covers for the affected areas with missing grates on the inactive
basin.

The broken air line for the RAS has been repaired by the operators
There are three diffusers in the active aeration basin. We have been informed that there was
a leak on only one of the three. The operators have taken out the sections of piping that
were broken and leaking. The diffuser was removed when the repairs were ongoing and it is
intact and operable as are the other two diffusers. We are awaiting the procurement of
fittings to put the diffuser back in operation. This work should be finished before
September 30, 2017. Meanwhile the plant is in operation with two diffusers and using both
blowers at times.
• We are continuing to investigate the visual alarm. It appears that it was related to an old
pump controller that is no longer part of the active wastewater plant equipment. As this
equipment is outside the institutional memory of the current management, we are finding it
difficult to identify but will evaluate and make a recommendation to you on or before
October 31, 2017 to confirm that the alarm is not needed and that it is not an auxiliary part
of the existing treatment system.
We look forward to continued discussion of these items if required and ask for your patience while
we work through them.

Please find enclosed the Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted on September 6, 2017 by Ori Tuvia and Mr.
Wes Bell of the Mooresville Regional Office. The cooperation of Daniel Dougherty and Ron Haynes during the site visit was
much appreciated. The following violations were noted during the inspection:
In accordance with Part II, Section D.6 of the subject permit, (Records and Retention), "Except for records
monitoring information required by this permit related to the permittee's sewage sludge use and disposal
activates, which shall be retained for a period of at least five years (or longer as required by 40 CFR 503), the
permittee shall retain records of all monitoring information including":
• All calibration and maintenance records
• All original strip chart recording of continuous monitoring instrumentation
• Copies of all reports required by the permit
• Copies of all data used to complete the application for this permit.
These records or copies shall be maintained for a period of at least three (3) years from the date of the sample,
measurement, report or application. At the time of the inspection, no records were available for review for the period
August 1, 2014 through August 1, 2017. It is the duty of the permittee to maintain all records for a least three (3) years.
The records that were unavailable include:
• Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs)
• Lab results with Chain of Custody
• Flow meter readings
• pH and other relevant instrument calibration records
• ORC log (including visitation records)
• Septic tank pumping records
• Maintenance logs

2. In accordance with Part II, Section C.2 of the subject permit, proper Operation and Maintenance (0&M) of
the WWTP is required. As noted at the time of the inspection, the following areas of concern should be
addressed:
• Dye test is needed to determine if the effluent from the truck stop reaches the treatment unit. At
the time of the inspection, a settleability test revealed a low solids ratio (30/1000). This should be
investigated as low solids could indicate that no solids are reaching the wastewater treatment plant.
• An out of service lift station was observed downhill from the facility. Is this lift station associated
with the wastewater treatment system? If so, the broken pipe exiting the lift station must be
repaired.
• The facility has two (2) treatment trains: One is active and the other is inactive. The ORC indicated
that there was leakage from the septic tanks into the inactive train. The inactive treatment train
must not receive any wastewater influent.
• The inactive treatment train has missing grating. Proper grating is needed to insure a safe work
environment.
• The active treatment train has a broken return air pipe.
• There are three (3) diffusers in the aeration basin that require replacement.
• Visual alarm is not functional. Please identify what portion of the treatment unit this visual alarm is
connected to and repair the visual alarm.
Please be advised that this letter is a Notice of Violation. You are requested to respond to this Notice in writing
within fifteen (15) days of receipt indicating your plan of action to resolve the non-compliance issues. Failure to respond
and/or failure to resolve the violations could subject you for further action by the Division of Water Resources. Please be
advised that pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A, a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) per
day, per violation and may be assessed against any person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms,
conditions, or requirements of any permit issued pursuant to G.S. 143-215.1.
The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions concerning this report, please
do not hesitate to contact Ori Tuvia at [phone], or at [e-mail].

Subject: Exit 5 I-85 Kings Mountain Travel Plaza — Effluent parameters results for August 4, 2017
NPDES permit NC0032867
Dear Mr. Salym:
The results of the first week of sampling of the effluent for the month of August 2017 came in the
mail this week. The NH3-N (Ammonia) level listed in the results exceeded the permit limits as was
verbally reported to you. The concentration reported was 58 mg/l versus the daily allowable
maximum in your permit of 35 mg/1. A copy of the laboratory report is attached. The other four
parameters on your NPDES permit, the effluent pH, and total residual chlorine were within limits.
We are taking measures to bring the plant into a better operating condition. The steps taken and
condition of the plant are reported in a separate letter. As previously noted, when we commenced
operations of your wastewater treatment plant the first week of August, we found the air piping to
the return activated sludge inoperative and while we were able to restart the return, it did not operate
consistently due to air leaks, instability, and malfunctioning control valves. We will continue to
keep you informed of the progress and efforts to improve plant treatment efficiency.
Sincerely,

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Kings Mountain Travel Plaza WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO032867
Cleveland County
Dear Mr. Khan:
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection for the inspection conducted at
the subject facility on July 28, 2016, by Ori Tuvia. Kenneth Deaver's cooperation during the site visit
was much appreciated. Please advise the staff involved with this NPDES Permit by forwarding a
copy of the enclosed report.
During the inspection the following areas of concern were observed:
1) Effluent pipe couldn't be reached. Right of way must be maintained in order for the effluent
pipe to be inspected.
2) ORC must ensure the Flow meter is calibrated annually. Flow meter was last calibrated on
4/13/201S.
The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions concerning
this report, please do not hesitate to contact Ori Tuvia at [phone], or at
[e-mail].

MOORESVILLE 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 ! 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
http://www2.epa.gov/compliance/final-national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-npdes-
electronic-reporting-rule. For more information on electronic reporting to NC DWR, visit

Permit: NCO032867
Inspection Date: 04/10/2014
Record Keeping
Owner - Facility: Kings Mountain Travel Plaza
Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
Comment: The records reviewed during the inspection were organized and well
maintained. Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period
February 2013 through January 2014. No flow was reported at Outfall 002 for the entire
review period. Monthly average effluent ammonia violations (Outfall 001) were reported
for April 2013, May 2013, and June 2013. The Division has previously addressed these
limit violations through the issuances of either a NOV or NOV/civil penalty assessment.
The ORC and staff must ensure the noncompliant box is checked (April 2013 - June
2013 DMRs) when either limit or monitoring violations have occurred. In addition, the
ORC and staff must ensure that the correct sample type (G - grab instead of C -
composite) is documented on the bottom of future DMRs.

Comment: The facility appeared to be adequately treating wastewater at the time of
the inspection.
The facility is equipped with dual aeration basins and clarifiers; however, only one
aeration basin/clarifier train was in use due to low influent flows.
This Office recommends increasing the frequency of the process control measurements
(settleability tests, dissolved oxygen, pH, etc.) to ensure that the facility continues to
adequately treat the wastewater and proper supplement levels are provided due to the
low influent loading (hydraulic and organic).

Comment: The facility is equipped with a grease removal system (septic tank) prior to

time. The ORC indicated the tank is pumped approximately every three to four months.
During the inspection, the wastewater inside the tank was evaluated and appeared to
be dark grey/black (septic conditions). The ORC must ensure that the grease removal
system does not negatively impact the biological process (excessive oxygen demand)
due to the low influent flows and extended detention times in the tank.

Electronic Reporting Requirement of Discharge Monitoring Data
Compliance Period Extended to 270 Days
Dear NPDES Permiee:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
The purpose of this letter is to notify you of the change to the permit condition regarding
Electronic Reporting of Discharge Monitoring Reports. The Division of Water Resources has
imposed a new permit condition into new and re -issued NPDES permits requiring permittees to
begin using the Division's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
NPDES permits recently issued contained a compliance period of 90 days to meet this
requirement. This compliance period has been subsequently changed and extended to 270 days.
Beginning no later than 270 days from your NPDES permit's effective date, you shall begin
reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the Division's eDMR internet
application.
This letter serves to amend your NPDES permit as noted above. Please attach this letter to your
NPDES permit.
If you have any questions regarding the contents above, please contact Vanessa Manuel at
919/807-6392 or via email at Vanessa.Manuelgncdenr.gov.

Several months ago KACE Environmental experienced computer issues causing us to lose a number of the forms we had
saved and use frequently. When we went through the recovery process the summer limits page for the Kings Mountain
Travel Plaza did not make the trip. We discovered this in July and made operational changes at the wwtp in order to
come in compliance. We were not aware that we were not in compliance with the NH3 due to the wrong form being
used. We hope this will clear up this violation and hope you will understand our issue in this matter.
Please contact me at you convenience should you have any questions or comments about this matter.

BE FIXED TO BILL ON JUNE 27,2012. GAVE THE PAPER WORK ON THE
QUOTE TO CASHIER AT FUEL DESK FOR HER TO PIJT IN BILLS OFFICE, SHE
SAID HIS DOOR WAS UNLOCKED.
ON JUNE 28,2012 DONNIE SPENCER ADVISED ME THAT THE
COMPRESSOR ON # 2 CAN NOT BE FIXED. IT IS BEING SENT BACK FROM
ROOTS TO CMS. WE, ARE MOVING # 4 COMPRESSOR TO 4 2 BASIN 1-2
DISCHARGE. THE # 31 & 4 BASIN HAS NO FLOW GOING IN, THE FLOW IS
BLOCKED OFF AND HAS ONLY AIR GOING IN TO KEEP THE SYSTEM
AERATED. DONNIE. WILL INSTALL AND MOVE SAT. JUNE 30,2012 AND ADD
NEW HARDWARE ON 1-2 BECAUSE OF THE VIBRATION.
COMMENT:
GOT PERMISSION FROM BILL BY TELEPHONE TO CHANGE 4 4 BLOWER
TO # 2 BLOWER ON Jt,/INF 29,2012. MR. KHAN GAVE BILL THE OKAY "TO
AUTHORIZE THE CHANGE. THE COST WILL BE BETWEEN $ 250.00 AND
$ 300.00TO SWITCH OUT.
FAXED TO BILL DONNIE SPENCERS COPY OF INVOICE, ABOUT # I
BLOWER COMPRESSOR PULLEY GETTING BAD, IT IS MOVING. AND NEEDS
PULLED AND REPAIRED, AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
ON JUNE 28,2012, DONNIE ADVISED ME THAT ROOT COMPANY WAS
UNABLE TO FIX #2 COMPRESSOR AND IS SENDING IT BACK..
OTHER RECOMMENDATIONS:
(1) NEED A NEW BAR RACK FOR BAR SCREEN.
(2) GRASS CU-f7 WEEDEAT AROUND BASIN AND FENCE.
(3) KEEP AREA CLEAN AROUND 002 PIPE [OIL -GREASE SEPARATOR]
(4) NEW HAY DOWN THE DRAIN LINE. LAST COPY OF INVOICE FROM M-

Re: Response to Inspection Discrepancies on January 20, 2011
Dear Ms. Allocco,
This letter is in reference to the Kings Mountain Travel Plaza's
inspection on January 20, 2011 conducted by Mr. Wes Bell of the
Mooresville Regional Office.
The following information, listed below describes the
discrepancies noted along with the corrective actions, for the Effluent
Sampling and Effluent Pipe Sections.
If you should have any questions concerning this matter, please
feel free to contact Kim T. Moss (Back Up ORC) or myself (ORC) at

EFFLUENT SAMPLING
COMMENT:
A dipper was used to initially collect the Effluent Fecal Coliform, and
Oil & Grease samples. Be advised that the Fecal Coliform samples
must be collected directly into a sterilized container and the Oil &
Grease samples should be collected directly into the sample
container.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
With the sampling point being approximately three (3) to four (4) feet
below the surface, we have made a sampling pole device to hold the
containers while lowering it down to collect the Fecal Coliform and
Oil & Grease samples. This device may also be used for other
parameters as needed.
EFFLUENT PIPE
COMMENT:
The facility was discharging at the plant site during the inspection,
however, no effluent was observed entering the receiving stream.
Water had been discharged onto the ground (two separate locations)
along the outfall right -of --way and adjacent to -the outfall line. The
permittee and facility staff must ensure all treated wastewater is
discharged at the designated location listed in the permit.
CORRECTIVE ACTIONS:
Mr. Bill West (General Manager) was notified of these findings during
the inspection on January 20, 2011. Mr. West immediately contacted
Mr. Calvin Huffman with (Huffman Contracting Company), and
requested his service in locating, and repairing this problem. Mr.
Huffman informed Mr. West, that there where several clean outs
along the outfall line that appeared to be damaged. Mr. Huffman also
stated that there was some type of material logged inside one of the
damaged clean outs. Mr. Huffman's opinion (based on the type of
damage) was possibly due to four wheelers "trespassing" on the
owner's property. Therefore, all piping, and clean outs have been
replaced, and the treated wastewater is now discharging into the
designated receiving stream. Mr. West also stated that there will be a
monthly inspection of the outfall right-of-way, and he hopes to install
a gate soon to try, and prevent "trespassing".

Aeration Basins
Owner - Facility: Kings Mountain Travel Plaza
Inspection Type: :omoliance Evaluation
Comment: The facility is currently using one of two aeration basin trains due to low
influent flows. The mixed liquor in the on-line aeration basin appeared low and the
30-minute settleability test performed during the inspection was approximately 50 ml/L
with a turbid supernate. Although no BOD and ammonia violations were reported, the
ORC and staff must ensure an adequate level of mixed liquor is maintained in the
aeration basin at all times.
Although both blower/motor units were operational, one of the check valves did not
appear to be operating properly at the time of the inspection. The ORC indicated that
the check valve would be evaluated and repaired/replaced (if needed) within the near
future.

The facility was discharging at the plant site during the inspection; however, no effluent
was observed entering the receiving stream. Water had been discharged onto the
ground (two separate locations) along the outfall right-of-way and adjacent to the outfall
line. The permittee and facility staff must ensure all treated wastewater is discharged at
the designated location listed in the permit.

Dear Permittee:
Your NPDES permit expires on August 31, 2008. Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A
NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal applications must 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

$500.00. Larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after August 31, 2008, the current permit must be renewed.
Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1;
unpermitted discharges of wastewater may be assessed 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
me at the telephone number or address listed below.
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 any questions, please contact me at the

This letter is in response to the Compliance Evaluation Inspection performed by
Mr. John Lesley at the Roadside Truck Plaza on June 27, 2008. Below is a response to
the deficiencies that were found.
Disinfection -Liquid & De -chlorination
COMMENT: A reliable chlorination system must be installed (chemical feed pump,
etc.) and an adequate, standardized commercial bleach solution
developed for wastewater disinfection must be used.
The present system of drip feeding chemicals for Disinfection and
De -chlorination is inadequate.
REPLY: We are in the process of ordering two (2) new chemical feed pumps
and containers for our chlorine and de -chlorination chemicals. This
equipment will replace the existing feed system as soon as it arrives.
EFFLUENT PIPE
COMMENT: The right of way had been cleared since the previous inspection, it has
not been adequately maintained. Weeds and Vegetation over 2 feet
high were prevalent making passage to outfall very difficult.
REPLY: Mr. Testa informed us that the right of way would be bushed hogged at
least once a month during the summer, and as needed during the winter.
Mr. Testa also noted that if it was needed more often then once a month,
he would make sure it was clear.

EFFLUENT SAMPLING
COMMENT: It is also requested that documentation be submitted for our files form
the City of Kings Mountain that confirms the City of Kings Mountain
is not supplying a commercial service by charging this facility for
laboratory testing.
REPLY: As Supervisor and ORC of both the City of Kings Mountain Pilot Creek
WWTP and the Roadside Truck Plaza WWTP, I certify that the City of
Kings Mountain is in no way charging the Roadside Truck Plaza for any
Analysis performed under our Laboratory Certification #222.

No violations were reported during April 2007 through March 2008.
Violations were found during the inspection as follows:
1. The liquid disinfection and liquid dechlorination systems are unreliable and do not meet the conditions of
proper operation and maintenance found in Part II, Section C, 2 of the NPDES Permit. It is required that a
reliable consistent feed system be incorporated to properly disinfect and dechlorinate the wastewater.
2. The effluent pipe was inaccessible due to heavy vegetation on the pathway.

Comment: The operator mixes powder chlorine to make a bleach solution. The
operator did not know what percent free available chlorine was in the mixed bleach. A
chlorine measurement was taken by the operator of the water in the chlorine contact
chamber prior to dechlorination. No residual chlorine was found. A chlorine test was
also taken of the bleach solution in the plastic barrel. A total residual chlorine
concentration of 3.0 mg/I was measured. The concentration of the disinfectant is
inadequate for sufficient disinfection. The chlorine feed system consists of a plastic
barrel on its side drip feeding through a valve. There is no reliable method of
calculating a dosage or feed rate, and the system is unreliable (see dechlorination
system below). A reliable chlorination system must be installed (chemical feed pump
etc.) and an adequate, standardized commercial bleach solution developed for
wastewater disinfection must be used.

Comment: The dechlorination system consists of a plastic barrel turned on its side
dripping sodium bisulfite into the last few feet of the chlorine contact chamber. No
chemical was dripping during the inspection. The operator adjusted the valve to allow
for drip feed to start; however, within 10 minutes the dripping had stopped. Be advised
that Part Il, Section C, paragraph 2 states that "the Permittee shall at all times provide

This letter is in response to the Compliance Evaluation Inspection performed by
Ms. stood at the Roadside Truck Plaza, Inc. on August 16, 2006,
First, I would like to thank you for the extension in replying to this report. I have

this is the first request for an extension on replying to an inspection report. Once again
Thank You,

OPERATION f it MAINTENANCE
Basin one of the plant cannot waste due to a broken valve. Each train only
had one working blower. Neither blower #1 or Blower #4 was working at
the time of the inspection. The permit states that the plant must be
properly operated and maintained at all times.
During the inspection Mrs. Barker (Back -Up Operator) informed
Nis. Food of these issues, and told Nis. Food that we were waiting on
parts for the # 1 compressor. The #4 compressor was removed and sent to
Electric Motor Services for repairs. We have not used the waste valve for
approximately 5 years now. We have (Wesson Septic Tank Service)
set-up on a schedule to pump our grease traps monthly, and our waste
activated sludge ftom our aeration basins when needed. I feel this is a
more effective way to waste at a package plant, due to variations in flow.
This procedure prevents loosing solids in the effluent. Due to the
requirements, we will install a new valve in place of the broken valve.

COMMENT:
REPLY-.
COMMENT:
REPLY:
Side one of the plant was murky in the clarifier. Side two was discharging
solids from the clarifier.
During this inspection I also had two other inspections, so therefore, I ask
Mrs. Barker if she would show Ms. blood the Roadside Truck Plaza's
Treatment Plant.
I can only reply on how the plant looked when I arrived at 1630, The #1
clarifier had a rust tint color which is not uncommon and does not effect
the quality of the final effluent. The #2 clarifier had floating solids on top
which occurred due to the coupling on the skimmer line dropping below
the water level. I proceeded to raise the coupling so these solids could be
returned back to the aeration basin, The final effluent was clear.
During the inspection, Nlrs. Barker took the hose pipe and was misting
these floating solids toward the skimmer line to show Ms. Food that there
was clear water under these solids.
Submit drawings for the dechlorination process,
The dechlorination agent enters in the effluent of the chlorine contact
basin. I have attached a drawing of the process. If other information
is needed, please feel free to contact me at 704-739-7131 or
704-477-7472,

General:
During the inspection the secondary clarifier solids were discharging to the creek. Kay Barker, back-up,
aided this process by washing out the secondary clarifier effluent trough with a hose. Mrs. Barker was told
to wash the plant down daily. Mrs. Barker seemed unaware that this type of solids discharge was a
problem. Please be aware, per the permit, that all sludge must be properly disposed of and not allowed to
enter the waters of the State. Proper solids management in the plant will prevent solids discharge to the
creek.

MEMORANDUM
To: Coleen H. Sullins, Water Quality Section Chief
Through: Dave Goodrich, Supervisor, NPDES Unit
From: Susan A. Wilson, P.E., Environmental Engineer, NPDES Unit '
Subject: Implementation Policy for Permits with Monthly Average NH3-N Limits
Background. According to the Code of Federal Regulations 140 CFR 122.45 (d)], continuous
discharges "shall unless `impracticable be stated as: (1) Maximum daily and average monthly
discharge limitations for all _dischargers other than publicly owned treatment works; and (2)
Average weekly and average monthly discharge limitations for POTWs". To date, North
Carolina has instituted NH3-N limits based on monthly average limits only (with the exception
of industry specific Federal Guideline limits), as directed by the Water Quality Section Chief
via memo dated June 6, 1990 [Appendix A]. No adverse comments were received from the EPA
regarding NH3-N until 2001. During the last quarter of 2001, the NPDES Unit began receiving
comments from EPA Region IV objecting to permits that did not have corresponding daily
maximum and weekly average limits for ammonia. The Division of Water Quality (the Division)
and EPA reached an agreement on April 8, 2002 to issue permits with a reopener clause for
NH3-N during the interim period, until a policy could be established.
In order to formulate the NH3-N policy, a workgroup of stakeholders was formed:
Matt Matthews, Supervisor, Aquatic Toxicology Unit
Mike Johnson, Environmental Manager, DuPont Company - Fayetteville Works
Stanley Curtis, Superintendent of Wastewater Treatment, City of Rocky Mount
Susan Wilson, Environmental Engineer, NPDES Unit
Dave Goodrich, Supervisor, NPDES Unit
The workgroup met on 3 occasions, and corresponded via e-mail or phone to resolve issues
concerning the policy.
Options Reviewed. The workgroup reviewed various options that could be used in developing
the daily maximum or weekly average NH3-N limit. Both an "effluent" technology -based limit
and a "water quality" standards -based limit were evaluated.
Water quatitu-based timit. For a water quality -based daily maximum or weekly average value,
the workgroup discussed using an NH3-N value based on nutrient concerns, a value based on
oxygen consuming waste (established through modeling), or a value based on toxicity.

V
A value based on nutrient concerns was because nutrient effects are typically based on long
term, rather than short term concerns. Additionally, nutrient issues were eliminated since
they are specifically addressed in the five nutrient sensitive river basins throughout the state.
The workgroup also discussed an NH3-N limit based on the effects of oxygen consuming
wastes. The NPDES Unit currently uses a water quality model to predict the effects of BOD5
and NH3-N (through nitrogenous biochemical oxygen demand) on the receiving stream. 'These
models use stream flow conditions and design wastewater characteristics, to determine BOD5
and NH3-N limits to protect the state standard for dissolved oxygen. In order to establish a
daily maximum value or a weekly average NH3-N value, appropriate streamflow for modeling
would need to be established. Three water quality based models were run using average flow
to reflect daily or weekly conditions. Elevated values for NH3-N were inserted into randomly
selected site -specific models to determine the impact on dissolved oxygen. Although there
was some impact associated with increased NH3-N levels, none of the models predicted
dissolved oxygen near the instantaneous minimum value of 4 mg/1 dissolved oxygen. Because
every model is site -specific, every condition could not be simulated for this study. However,
based on the 3 models randomly selected, this option was eliminated due to the lack of impact
that a daily or weekly average NH3 value has on the receiving stream.
A toxicity -based approach to establish a daily maximum value or a weekly average value was
also considered by the workgroup. North Carolina has no chronic or acute standard for
NH3-N (although North Carolina has implemented toxicity based NH3-N limits since 1990).
Research into acute criteria indicated a range of values from 12 mg/1 to 15 mg/1 [See
Appendix A, Table, p.21. Of the water quality -based approaches, the work group focused on
this method.
Technologu-based limit. For a technology -based daily maximum or weekly average value, the
workgroup discussed using an NH3-N value based on site specific best available technology, a
value based on design specific capability, and a value based on analysis of existing
performance data.
A site specific best available technology limit was dismissed due to the time constraints
involved in developing a site specific value and the need to develop a method which could be
simple enough to be applied on a state-wide basis.
For a design specific NH3-N value, several design consultants were called to determine what
an appropriate daily maximum or weekly average value would be for a given monthly average.
In general, most respondents stated that their designs were specific to the facility and in the
majority of cases they designed the facility to meet the most stringent limit on a daily basis -
they did not design for "daily or weekly maximums". Essentially, the design engineers
designed the facility to comply with the monthly average NH3-N limit on a daily basis - with
the probability that in any wastewater treatment system - there may be excursions that could
be managed operationally. Therefore, the design specific weekly average or daily maximum
NH3-N value did not really exist in the context of this work and was dismissed by the
workgroup.
A performance based NH3-N value was also reviewed by the workgroup. The workgroup
decided to review weekly average/monthly average values for several existing, compliant
municipal facilities, as well as daily maximum/monthly average values for industrial and
minor non -municipal facilities. From this information, a ratio of weekly average or daily
maximum to monthly average NH3-N ratios could be reviewed. This determination for an

f
NH3-N value was deemed easy to apply state-wide, would not strain resources, and would
comply with the federal requirement.
Chosen Option. The workgroup had to decide between the water quality -based approach
(based on toxicity) and the technology -based approach (based on actual performance). Water
quality based limits are established to protect known or predicted water quality impacts.
Since there have been no known or predicted acute stream impacts due to NH3-N, a water
quality based limit was eliminated by the group. Furthermore, the Division would need to
adopt a standard for any chosen water quality method. Therefore, the performance based
NH3-N value was chosen as the best alternative to comply with the Federal Guideline.
Data Evaluation. Once the method for choosing the NH3-N daily maximum/weekly average
limit was established, facility data were evaluated for 6 industrial facilities, 8 minor non-

year 2001 were reviewed for these facilities. For the industrial and the minor non -municipal
facilities, the highest daily maximum values were evaluated and compared to monthly average
values for eac!me,, For ;-e municipal facilities, the highest weekly average value for the
month was .valu:-led and compared to each corresponding monthly average. The total
number of data points was 99 for .municipal facilities and 160 for combined industrial and
minor non -municipal facilities. These data sets represented variability associated with
seasonality.
For each facility category the ratios of daily maximum to monthly average or weekly average to
monthly average were listed and ranked. The 95th and 99th percentiles were evaluated for each
category [See Appendix B].
For the municipal facilities, the 95th percentile ratio value was chosen as the multiplier.
Because municipal facilities must comply with a weekly average NH3-N limit, instead of a daily
maximum, the 951h percentile value was deemed most appropriate, as this percentile would
account for the averaging allowed by a weekly requirement. That value was found to be 3:1.
Due to the similar ratios (both 95th and 99th percentile values) and similar permitting
requirements (monthly averages/daily maximums) between the industrial and minor non -
municipal facilities, these categories were combined to be evaluated as one group. Both of
these groups must meet a daily maximum NH3-N value. The two highest ratios were deemed
outliers and omitted from the ranking. From the modified data set, the 99th percentile ratio
value was chosen as the multiplier for industrial and non -municipal facilities. Because these
facilities must meet a daily maximum NH3-N value the 99th percentile ratio value was deemed
most appropriate, as this percentile would take into account potential daily variability (as
opposed to the averaging effects that a weekly average value entails). That value was found to
be 5:1.
Implementation. The workgroup also discussed the implications of implementing the daily
maximum and weekly average values into permits_
As part of North Carolina's agreement with EPA, the Division agreed to re -open those permits
issued after April 8, 2002 to include weekly average or daily maximum limits, if review of the
data demonstrate a reasonable potential to exceed the established value [See Appendix C].
The Division will commence with re -opening those permits by December 31, 2002, if

y
necessary. Approximately 31 permits with NH3-N monthly average values have been issued
since the April agreement.
With renewal or new permits that have monthly average NH3-N limits, the NPDES Unit will
implement daily maximum or weekly average limits for non -municipal and municipal facilities,
using the ratio established through the workgroup (5:1 for non -municipal facilities, 3:1 for
municipal facilities).
The workgroup also discussed placing a maximum value, or cap requirement, on daily
maximum and weekly average values. For example, some permits have monthly average NH3-
N limits that are 10 mg/1 or higher. If a multiplier of 3:1 or 5:1 were used to establish a
weekly average or daily maximum limit, the value would be 30 mg/1 or 50 mg/l. Because
typical untreated wastewater NH3-N values range from 12 - 50 mg/1 [Metcalf & Eddy,
Wastewater Engineering, 3rd Ed., p. 1091, the workgroup agreed to place a cap of 35 mg/1
(slightly higher than the medium waste strength value of 25 mg/1) 'on the calculated daily
maximum or weekly average values. This also corresponds .with the NPDES Units current -
policy of placing a maximum cap on NH3-N toxicity calculated valuer at 35 mg/l. The NPDES
Unit will allow a facility, if the facility objects to the cap, to uemons .ce th:lt the facility's
influent values are greater than 35 mg/1 in order to raise the cap. This wil"l3e mai_. ged on a
case -by -case basis.
Conclusion. The workgroup, along with the NPDES Unit, chose a performance based
approach to develop limits for daily maximum and weekly average: NH3-N limits. Based on
review of the performance data, a raUo (or multiplier) of 3:1 was chosen for municipal facilities
and 5:1 for non -municipal facilities. Following approval by the Water Quality Section Chief,
the NPDES Unit will begin immediate implementation of these limits in new and renewal
permits. This will allow the Division of Water Quality to comply with the Federal Regulations.

SUBJECT: Total Residual Chlorine Policy for NPDES permits
Every three years the State is required by the Clean Water Act to review its surface water quality standards and
classifications, determine if changes are needed and to make any necessary changes. This review process is referred to
as the "triennial review." Public hearings were held to solicit comments for the 2000-2003 Triennial Review of surface
water quality standards during the summer of 2002. The Hearing Officer's recommendations were presented before
the state's Environmental Management Commission on October 10, 2002.
The Hearing Officer's recommended changes included modifications to the existing standards for Arsenic, Cyanide,
Niethvlene Blue Active Substances (MBAS) and Total Residual Chlorine (TRC). The Hearing Officer also
recommended the addition of a standard for Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE).
All of the Hearing Officer's proposed changes were adopted with the exception of MTBE. The changes took effect
on April 1, 2003. This memo documents the changes to the NPDES permitting policy for TRC limits.
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC)
Previously, TRC had an Action Level Standard, except in designated Trout waters. The Triennial Review changes
modified the TRC Action Level Standard to an Aquatic Life Standard of 17 µg/L. The Aquatic Life Standard will
remain for designated Trout waters.
Aquatic Life Standard — 17 µg/L (freshwater only) Trout Waters — 17 µg/L
Revised TRC Policy
➢ TRC limits uvill be assigned to permit renewals and all new permits issued after April 1, 2003.
➢ Facilities that do not use chlorine will not receive a TRC limit; however, the presence of a chlorine back-up
system to augment UV or other disinfection requires a TRC limit.
➢ Facilities discharging to streams with a 7Q10 <0.05 cfs (zero -flow streams) will receive a limit of 17 µg/L.
➢ Limits vrill be capped at 28 µg/L to protect against acute impacts.
It is likely that many facilities will need to add dechlorination (or use another means of disinfection) to comply with
the new TRC standard. Therefore, a compliance schedule of 18 months from the effective date of the permit may
be added to ant- TRC limit added during the current permit renewal. This time period is allowed in order for the
facility to budget and design/construct the dechlorination and/or alternative disinfection system(s). The NPDES
Unit has promulgated minimum design criteria in order to expedite permitting of dechlorination equipment.

DEAR MR. BRIDGEMAN:
In reference to the Compliance Evaluation Inspection,
conducted by Mr. Barry Love on February 12, 2004, I would
like to respond to the DEFICIENCIES noted concerning the BAR
SCREEN and the EFFLUENT PIPE SECTION.
DEFICIENCY: One of the Bar Screens was rusted away on the
bottom.
RESPONSE As stated during the inspection plan's were
already made to replace this Bar Screen. Kenny
Downey, the ORC at the City of Kings Mountain's
Wastewater Treatment Plant, was in the process
of getting the material to help Mr. Jim
Vandyke to replace this Bar Screen. On January
11, 2004 Kenny Downey passed away, due to a
heart attack.
Therefore, Mr. Vandyke is working on replacing
this Bar Screen, and he should have it in
operation within 2 to 3 weeks.
DEFICIENCY: Is right of way to the outfall properly
maintained.
RESPONSE I submitted a request to the land owner,
Mr. Hal Plonk for permission to enter upon his
land to make access to our Effluent Discharge
Pipe. Therefore, Mr. Plonk contacted me and
informed me that, he did not want any access
road built on his land. He said the he had
problems with people dumping trash on his
property. Therefore the only other way that
we can get to the Effluent Discharge Pipe is to
go down to the Dixon School Bridge, and walk
the creek back up to the plant.

hhhhh,

If you should need any further information, please feel free
to contact me at 704-734--1642.

Subject: Renewal Notice
NPDES Permit NCO032867
Roadside Truck Plaza
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 any questions, please contact Valery Stephens at [phone], extension 520.

RESPONSE: The flow meter was last calibrated on
February 27, 2001, by Mr. Cecil Johnston
with Johnston Instrumentation Service.
After the inspection on April 11, 2002,
I contacted Mr. Johnston about
calibrating our flow meter's at the
Roadside Truck Plaza, and the Pilot Creek
WPCF. At that time, Mr. Johnston
informed us that he had just retired in
January 2002, due to some health problems
he was having, and would no longer be
able to service our flow meters.
Therefore, we have contacted another
company to perform these calibrations on
both treatment plants. Mr. Ken Nash with
K*N*C* Instrumentation & Control Services
Mr. Nash calibrated our flow meter(s) on
May 02, 2002. At this time, I have not
received a statement from this company,
and as soon as I receive one, I will
forward a copy of this information to
your office.

This Report is being issued as a Notice of Violation (NOV) because of violations of the
subject permit and North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1, as detailed under the Self -
Monitoring Program heading. The cited violations had not previously been cited under either a
Notice of Violation (NOV) or a civil penalty assessment document. Pursuant to G.S. 143-
215.6A, a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) may be
assessed against any person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions,
or requirements of any permit issued pursuant to G.S. 143-215.1. Should this Office make an
enforcement recommendation relative to the violations, you will be advised in writing.
The inspection also found the following deficiencies: The flow meter has not been
calibrated at a minimum of once per year (See the Flow Measurement Section) and someone is
signing the certification statement other than the permittee (See the Self -Monitoring Program
Section). It is requested that a written response be submitted by no later than May 10, 2002 that
authorizes a specific person to sign for the permittee and include a copy of the flow meter

Wes Bell of this Office last inspected the facility on September 7, 2000.
Permit:
The permitted facility (outfall 001) is a 0.0145 MGD wastewater treatment plant
(WWTP) consisting of two grease traps, a flow splitter box, and two extended aeration package
WWTPs in parallel. Each of the extended aeration WWTPs is equipped with a bar screen,
diffused air aeration, and a clarifier. The effluents -are combined prior to the chlorine contact
chamber. Sodium hypochlorite (bleach) is used for disinfection.
An oil/water separator collects stormwater runoff from the fueling area. The oil/water
separator discharge is permitted as outfall 002.
Facility Site Review/Operations and Maintenance:
7qN
The facility appeared to be properly operated and in good mechanical condition. The
WWTP is staffed by an ORC with a Grade IV Certification, a backup ORC with a Grade H
Certification, and an operator/maintenance person with a Grade IV Certification. The facility is
visited seven days per week. Rags are disposed of in the Cleveland County Landfill.
Process control consists of MLSS, settleable solids, and dissolved oxygen measurements.
Sludge is wasted based on settleable solids measurements.
The oil/water separator was not discharging at the time of this inspection. M&M Waste
Oil performs maintenance on the oil/water separator and removes waste oil from the product
holding tank.
Records and Reports:
Records and reports consist of an ORC visitation log, maintenance reports, process
control data, flow charts, laboratory reports, chain of custody forms, calibration logs, and
monthly monitoring reports. Records are maintained in accordance with NPDES Permit
requirements.
Laboratory:
Kings Mountain Pilot Creek WWTP Laboratory (Certification # 222) and Piedmont
Laboratories (Certification # 307) perform all analyses. The laboratories were not evaluated
during this inspection. The Kings Mountain Pilot Creek Laboratory is not certified as a
commercial laboratory but does not charge a laboratory fee for conducting analyses.
Flow Measurement:
Flow is measured by means of a Stevens float and cable type flow meter with a flow
totalizer and chart recorder. Johnston Instrumentation Service last calibrated the flow meter on
February 27, 2001. Be advised that 15A NCAC 2B .0506 states that flow meters must be
calibrated at a minimum of once per year.
