SUBJECT: Advance Notice of Renewal Application Requirements
Permit NC0024538
Shelby WWTP
Dear Permittee:
Your NPDES permit for a municipally owned/operated WWTP expires on August 31, 2008. This notice is
being sent to explain the requirements for your permit renewal application.
You are receiving this advance notice because your facility has a permitted flow at or above 1
MGD, or the facility receives industrial [pretreatment] wastewater. If either of these criteria no
longer applies, contact the NPDES Unit before submitting a renewal application.
Federal (40 CFR 122) and state (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal
applications be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. Your renewal application is
due to the Division postmarked no later than March 4, 2008. Failure to apply for renewal by the
appropriate deadline may result in a civil penalty assessment or other enforcement activity at the discretion
of the Director.
The U.S. EPA revised and expanded the application requirements for municipal permits, effective August 1,
2001. EPA form 2A is attached to this Notice, and must be used for your permit renewal application. The
new application requirements mandate additional effluent testing:
1. Conduct three Priority Pollutant Analyses (PPAs) and submit results with your renewal
application. Collect samples for the PPAs in conjunction with sampling for your current
quarterly toxicity test. The new PPA requirements differ from previous versions. Each PPA
must include:
➢ Analyses for all total recoverable metals listed in Part D of form 2A. This includes metals
that are not normally monitored through your NPDES permit.
➢ Analyses for total phenolic compounds and hardness.
➢ Analyses for all of the volatile organic compounds listed in Part D.
➢ Analyses for all of the acid -extractable compounds listed in Part D.
➢ Analyses for all base -neutral compounds listed in Part D.
➢ Analyses for Total Mercury must be performed using EPA Method 1631.
2. Conduct four toxicity tests for an organism other than Ceriodaphnia and submit results with
your renewal application. The tests should be conducted quarterly, with samples collected on the
same day as your current toxicity test. Call the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at [phone] for
guidance in conducting the additional tests.

Page 2
The pollutant and toxicity scans described above must accompany your permit renewal application,
or any major permit modification request. The Division cannot draft your permit without the additional
data. Any data submitted cannot be over 41/2 years old, and must account for seasonal variation
(samples cannot be collected during the same season each year if collected over multiple years).
PLEASE NOTE: If your permit already contains a requirement for an annual effluent pollutant
scan, additional scans are not required [provided you have conducted at least 3 scans prior to submitting
your application] .
If any wastewater discharge will occur after the current permit expires, this NPDES permit must be
renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate Federal and North Carolina law.
Unpermitted discharges of wastewater could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
Use the checklist below to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you
must submit with the permit renewal application. If all wastewater discharge has ceased at this facility and
you wish to rescind this permit, please contact me. My telephone number, fax number and e-mail address
are listed at the bottom of the previous page.
Sincerely,
Charles H. Weaver, Jr.

Subject: Action Plan, Influent Wet Well Overflow Pipe
Compliance Sampling Inspection
City of Shelby WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NC0024538
Cleveland County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Bell,
eorme ➢..
DEC 2 8 2601
I
}9l Ui�,ilJ ;u.Li ,
We understand the State wants the City of Shelby WWTP to remove the 42" Overflow pipe located in the Influent
Pump Station Wet Well, presumably to prevent overflows. The State has correctly noted that there have been
numerous overflows at the pump station, but these overflows were a result of inadequate pumping systems, not the
overflow pipe. The current pumping improvement project will remedy the capacity issue and provide an additional
emergency pumping connection.
Although we do not foresee any future overflows at the pump station, we caution against removing the overflow
pipe. If the pipe is removed and there is a complete pump station failure, the wet well will still overflow. The
overflow pipe was intended to protect the building during this type of failure. Without the pipe there is a possibility
of flooding the drywell with sewage. That could lead to a complete and prolonged failure of the pumping systems.
If the rules permit, which by our understanding they do, the pipe should be allowed to remain.
In November of 2001 this issue was addressed within the City's Utilities Department. At that time, with the
assistance of personnel from the Mooresville Regional Office, Mr. Don Price and Mr. John Leslie, it was
determined that the Influent Pump Station is part of the WWTP. The Pump Station occurs down stream of the
Preliminary treatment process. This was interpreted to mean that it is not part of the collection system as far as
being governed by the Collection permit. The WWTP is governed by NPDES permit NC0024538.
The "Diversion Pipe" as referred to in the Inspection Report, is in actuality and Overflow Pipe as stated earlier, and
is in place to protect the Pump Station and its associated equipment.
Please reference Section C of NPDES Permit No, NC 0024538, issued to the City of Shelby First Broad River
WWTP on dune 1, 2004. This section is quoted below.

a. Bypass not exceeding limitations [40 CFR 122.41
occur which does not cause effluent limitations to
maintenance to assure efficient operation. These
Paragraphs b. and c. of this section. .
b. Notice [40 CFR 122.41 (m) (3)]
(in) (2)] The Permittee may allow any bypass to
be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential
bypasses are not subject to the provisions of
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the Pennittee knows in advance of the need for a b-,pass, it shall submit
prior notice, if possible at least ten days before; the date of the bypass; uacluding an evaluation of
the anticipated quality and effect of the by-pass.
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass. such as the use of ausilian- treatment
facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of equipment
downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate back-up equipment should have been
installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass which
occurred- during normal periods of equipment do«zitime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The Permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph b.
of this section.
The City of Shelby takes the position that the 42" pipe situated at the top of the west wall of the Influent Pump
Station is an "Overflow Pipe" in place solely to "Prevent severe property damage to this facility. This is not a
"Diversion Pipe" and is not, nor has it ever been used to intentionally bypass this treatment facility.
With the Pump upgrade now underway at the influent Pump Station, the extra pumping capacity along with the
City's efforts to repair/replace problem areas of the collection system to reduce I & I, this safety device should
become a non -issue in the future.
If you should have any questions or the need for more information, please contact Mr. Brad Cornwell or Mr. John
Rhom.

Subject: Response to: Notice of (Deficiency
Compliance Sampling Inspection
City of Shelby WWTP
NPDES Permit No. N00024538
Cleveland County, North Carolina
Dear Ms. Allocco:
Please find the following to be the City of Shelby's WWTP response to the "Notice of
Deficiency(s)" contained in your "Compliance Sampling Inspection Report", dated November 14,
2006.
The deficiency is quoted followed by our response in an outline format.
➢ As to the concerns with the "poor air quality in the dewatering section of the Compost
Building"
o This area in the Compost Operations has an Exhaust Blower that is designed
to remove the "poor air" and replace it with outside air. This blower is in
need of repair/replacement and also needs to be relocated. This project is
under review and the funding has been requested through. our CIP for
2007/2008. This area is currently ventilated during times of operation by the
use of 2 (two) large shop fans positioned at the fresh air openings located next
to the press area.
➢ "Chronic Toxicity result was not reported on the August 06 DMR (MR-1 form). An
amended DMR will be submitted.
o An amended DMR was sent LISPS on October 20, 2006 with the Toxicity
results entered.
PO Box 207 - 824 W. Groz)er St. - Shelby, NC 28151-0207
Phone [phone]-Fax [phone]

➢ "The 10-day interval between the collection of the twice/month samples (copper, nickel,
and zinc) was not adhered to 11 /05 and 8/06".
o This 10 day standard has been noted and our collection dates have been
adjusted to adhere to this requirement.
➢ "The facility staff must also ensure the following:"
o "— all "<" values are appropriately calculated for the monthly average values."
■ This has been noted, per Mr. Dell's advice the "<" sign may be used for
the Maximum and Minimum value results for the month but it may
not be used for the monthly average, we are entering "0" as the result.
o "- the removal efficiencies (ROD and TSR) are reported on future DMRs."
The DMR form has been modified by adding these two columns to the
right side. When the appropriate information is entered into the DMR
the removal efficiencies are automatically calculated and enter.
o "- the preset number of gallons between the collection of composite samples
(influent and effluent) does not exceed 1/24 of the expected daily flow.
If our total daily flow is based on 3 MGD, 1/24 of this flow would be
.125 m/gals. Or 125,000 gallons. Our samplers are set up to sample on
every 9 pulse, where as each pulse is equal to 1000 gallons, we are
sampling after every 8000 gallons has passed through. This is well
within the requirement.
➢ Influent Sampling
o # Is composite sample flow proportional?
No
■ All the equipment is in place to sample proportionally except a
converter box to change the signal to a 4 — 20 m/amp. This converter
has been ordered and will be installed upon arrival,
o Is the tube clean?
W
The influent sample tube has been changed and there is no algae
present on the inside of the tube.
o Is sampling performed according to permit?
o "Comment: The facility has been collecting time based composite samples;
however, the facility has installed a new flow meter and associated wiring for flow
proportional sampling."
PO Box 207 - 824 W. Grover St. - Shelby, NC 28151-0207
Phone [phone] - Fax [phone]
Visit its at zvzvzv.cih oily com

■ Refer to answer above under: # Is composite sample flow proportional
➢ Effluent Sampling
o Is sampling collected below all treatment units?
Iwo
o "Comment: Composite samples are being collected prior to dechlorination. The
facility's grab samples are collected at the appropriate sample location (following
dechlorination).
The injection header for the sulfur dioxide has been relocated above
the composite sample point. We are currently evaluating the
effectiveness of this location change.
➢ Pump Station — Influent
o Is the pump wet well free of bypass lines or structures? No
o Comment: The facility is in the process of installing new influent pumps (2 — 200
HP and 2 — 75 HP) that will increase the pump capacity to 15 MGD. The Division
issued the ATC on 2/16/06. The diversion structure/pipe at the pump station has
not been utilized in 2006.
■ The comment that Mr. Bell has made above basically answers this
NOD, other then the additional work the City is undertaking on I & I.
The new 200 HP pumps have arrived on site with completion of this
project expected with 60 days
■ The "Action Plan" concerning the Overflow Pipe (diversion pipe) will
be address under a different cover on or before January g, 2007.
If you should have any questions or the need for more information, please contact Mr. John Rhom
or myself.

Dear Ms. McMurry:
Notice of Deficiency
Compliance Sampling Inspection
Shelby WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO024538
Cleveland County, NC
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Sampling Inspection Report for the inspection
conducted at the subject facility on October 19,_2006 by Ms. Sonja Basinger and Mr. Wes Bell,
both of this Office. Please advise the facility's Operator -in -Responsible Charge of our findings
by forwarding a copy of the enclosed report to him. The results of the effluent sampling will be
forwarded to you under separate cover.
It is requested that a written response be. submitted to this Office by December 4.2006,
addressing the deficiencies noted in the Influent Sampling and Effluent Sampling Sections of
the report. This office is also concerned with the poor air quality in the dewatering section of the
compost building. The response should address the City's actions to alleviate the current air
quality concerns within the building. In responding, please address your comments to the
attention of Ms. Marcia Allocco.
An item of primary interest to the Division is the presence of a forty-two inch influent
diversion pipe at the wastewater treatment facility's influent pump station. This structure is not
included in the facility description found in the permit, nor has it been described in permit
renewal applications (although its existence has been known). When this diversion is used, the
result is the direct discharge of untreated wastewater into waters of the state. Such discharges are
illegal under the State's environmental laws and are not excused by any term of the NPDES
Permit. A review of Shelby's Performance Annual Reports for the years 2003-2005 has shown
the City reported twenty (20) discharges from the diversion pipe, with a total volume of
11,794,746 gallons being discharged. Such performance is not acceptable.

The City of Shelby is therefore directed to prepare and submit an action plan and report to
the Division outlining the steps it will take to remove the diversion pipe from its wastewater
treatment facilities. It will also document actions the City is taking or will take to address the
underlying circumstances that have justified its existence to date. This report is due no later than
January 8, 2007 and should be.sent to the attention of Mr. Wes Bell in the Mooresville Regional
Office. Additionally, the City of Shelby should continue to report any diversions through this
pipe to the Mooresville Regional Office through prescribed and approved means.
The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions
concerning this report, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Bell or me at [phone].

RECORD KEEPING SECTION cont'd:
DMRs were reviewed for the period September 05 through August 06. No limit violations were reported.
All monitoring frequencies were correct. The chronic toxicity result was not reported on the August 06 DMR
(MR-1 form). An amended DMR will be submitted.
The 10-day interval between the collection of the twice/month effluent samples (copper, nickel, and zinc)
was not adhered to in 11/05 and 8/06. The faciliy staff must also ensure the following:
- all "<" values are appropriately calculated for the monthly average values.
- the removal efficiencies (BOD and TSR) are reported on future DMRs.
- the preset number of gallons between the collection 'of composite samples (influent and effluent) does not
exceed 1/24 of the total expected daily flow.
Overall, the facility staff incorporate a commendable record keeping system.

Influent Pump Station Modifications
First Broad River WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NC0024538
Cleveland County
Per your request dated Ocotber 20, 2005, this Office has reviewed the subject ATC request
as submitted by the City of Shelby concerning a proposal to construct modifications to the influent
pump station (IPS) located at the City's First Broad River WWTP.
The subject WWTP has a permittted capacity of 6.0 MGD, and the plant's IPS has a
pumping capacity of 10.4 MGD with all three pumps in simultaneous operation. The planned
improvements will bring the City's IPS up to the industry standard of being able to pump 2.5 times
the permitted flow with any single pump out -of -service. The modifications will include the
following improvements:
a. Removal of a smaller, 40 HP pump and replacing it with a 75 HP unit that will
correspond to the two existing 75 HP units.
b. Adding two 14 inch, 200 HP units to handle wet -weather flows.
C. Installing seal flushing water and ancillary system for the pumps.
The new pumps will be set up to run as fixed speed units and the existing pumps will
continue to run on variable frequency drives. When the aforementioned modifications are
completed, the City will have a 15 MGD pumping capacity, which will exceed the 2.5 times the
permitted flow design standard. Based on our review of this project, issuance of the ATC is
recommended.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please advise.

City of Shelby Project Description
First Broad River WWTP and Calculation Summary
Contract 5 0 — Influent Pumping Improvements
tpgpfowiaNTS &
The First Broad River Wastewater Treatment Plant ­has a permitted capacity of 6.0 mgd
Average Daily Flow (ADF). The Influent Pumping Station is currently equipped with three
pumping units; two identical 8-inch horizontal, non -clog pumps driven by 75 HP motors and one
6-inch horizontal, non -clog pump driven by a 40 HP motor. The total pumping capacity is
approximately 10.4 mgd with all three pumps in simultaneous operation..
The industry standard practice is to provide sufficient capacity and equipment redundancy such
that the facility can pump 2.5 times the ADF with any single pump out -of -service. This project is
intended to increase pumping capacity to that level. The project includes the following:
• Removal of the existing 6-inch, 40 HP pumping unit along with the suction and
discharge piping. The unit will be replaced with one of the existing 8-inch, 75 HP units.
• Installation of two new identical 14-inch, 200 HP pumping units, along with new suction
and discharge piping to handle wet weather flows.
• Installation of a bypass pumping connection outside the Pumping Station for rental
pumping during construction.
• Installation of seal water and ancillary system for the pumps.
The existing pumps will continue to run on variable frequency drives and the new pumps will be
fixed speed units, incorporated into the City's existing control system. Upon completion the firm
pumping capacity (one 200 HP unit out -of -service) will be approximately 10,500 gallons per
minute (gpm).
6.0 mgd x 2.5 = 15.0 mgd required
15.0 mgd = 10,420 gpm required
10,500 gpm provided, see attached System Head Curve and associated calculations.

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

over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:

2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for
such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five
factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the
penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting
whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements
contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a
stipulation that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and
submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors
shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 14313-
282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the
remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your
remission request. The response will provide details regarding case status,
directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information
that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director.
Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement
in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed
"Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also
requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission
Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address:

I. INTRODUCTION:
This laboratory was inspected to verify its compliance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H
.0800 for the analysis of environmental samples.
II. GENERAL COMMENTS:
The laboratory supervisor recently took a new position; the replacement lab supervisor is out on
extended medical leave. In spite of the situation the laboratory is doing a good job overall.
Laboratory personnel were professional and cooperative throughout the inspection process.
Some adjustments will be needed in order to make standards and reagents more traceable.
III. DEFICIENCIES, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
GENERAL DOCUMENTATION:
A. COMMENT: The laboratory needs to increase standards tracking so that standards and
reagents used for sample analysis can be traced back to source materials. This will only require
minor modifications of existing systems.
Note: The laboratory has a chemical inventory and a reagent book traces stock preparation.
Example (Residual Chlorine): The stock is traceable the lab need to extend documentation to
show working standards. This can be done in a reagent prep log that documents working
standards each time they are made from the stock —or- The working standard can be
documented directly on the bench sheet (CCV 100mg/L 1/100mis TRC stock Date). Please
contact this office if you require additional technical assistance in this area.
REQUIREMENT: Supporting records shall be maintained as evidence that these practices are
being effectively carried out. All analytical records must be available for a period of five years.
Ref: 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (a) (7) and (a) (7) (G).
B. COMMENT: Quite a few data entries were overwritten or scribbled out and corrected. The net
effect was to make some of the data very difficult to read. These types of corrections are
unacceptable for laboratory documentation. All entries are to be made in permanent ink.

pppppp- .
Page 2
REQUIREMENT: If a mistake is made in data recording the mistake must be removed by
making a single line through the incorrect entry, recording the correct entry beside mistake,
and initialing and dating the error. Ref: SW 846 Sept 1994 Test Methods for Evaluating
Wastes Chapter One pg. 13.
AMMONIA NITROGEN:
C. COMMENT: Only one sample was compared distilled to undistilled. Please review the
following requirement:
REQUIREMENT: To analyze samples without distillation, municipal and industrial laboratories
shall accumulate comparative data by analyzing at least two samples distilled and undistilled.
Analyze one sample distilled and undistilled yearly.
Additional samples must be analyzed comparatively if the above sample results do not
indicate approximately the same values for distilled and undistilled samples. Ref: Federal
Register, January 31, 1994; 40 CFR 136; Footnote 6.
D. COMMENT: The laboratory does not analyze a second source LCS each day samples are
analyzed.
REQUIREMENT: 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (a) (7) (B) states in part: "analyze one known standard in
addition to calibration standards each day samples are analyzed to document accuracy".
BIOCHEMICAL OXYGENDEMAND:
E. COMMENT: The laboratory did not qualify GGA failures on the DMRs. The laboratory must
qualify results that do not meet Q.C. criteria on the DMR report forms.
REQUIREMENT: Whenever any of the method quality control requirements are not met, the
data must be qualified on the laboratory report form and Discharge Monitoring Report (:DMR).
The qualifying statement should indicate that all QC requirements were not met and indicate
whether the data is valid. Ref: 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (a) (7 and (a) (7) (D).
NOTE: A notation must be made on the DMR report form in the comment section when any
required sample quality does not meet specified criteria, and another sample cannot be
obtained. The most common occurrences will probably involve BOD and Fecal Coliform (MF).
Items may include bit not be limited to: (BOD) seed corrections, GGA, or blanks, (Fecal
Coliform) Insufficient dilutions to obtain 20 - 60 blue colonies per filter.
TOTAL RESIDUAL CHLORINE (TRC) AND DISSOLVED OXYGEN:
F. COMMENT: The laboratory is not averaging TRC duplicate values.
REQUIREMENT: All analytical results from a designated monitoring location must be reported.
The laboratory may either average the values and report the average, or report the second
value in the comment section of the DMR. Reporting the average value is preferable.
G. COMMENT: The laboratory is currently analyzing TRC and DO even though this monitoring
is not required by conditions of the permit.

PF
Page 3
REQUIREMENT: All calibration, quality control and documentation are to be performed since
these samples are reported on the DMR. If the samples are performed as process control
samples only these requirements do not apply. Please be advised that any samples taken
from a designated sampling sit must be reported. Obtain process control samples at a location
other than the designated monitoring site specified in the plant permit.
IV. PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION:
A data and DMR review including at least six sets of data was conducted using data from June
and October 2003 and January 2004. Supporting documentation was also examined. No -items
other than those specified in the above report were observed.
V. CONCLUSIONS:
Correcting the above cited comments and implementing the recommendations will help this
lab to produce quality data and meet certification requirements. Please respond to all
lettered comments.

Dear Mr. McIntire:
NC DEP .,
AND NATU AL RESOURCES .-
. OFFICE
FES 2 6 2004
WATT`,
L
We have received your letter of February 4, 2004 and the Draft NPDES Permit for the
Broad River WWTP. The City of Shelby concurs with most of the changes proposed by
the new Permit but strongly objects to several of the items as addressed herein.
o A monthly average ammonia limit of 4.7 mg/L (summer) and 18.5 mg/L (winter) has
been added to the Permit. The corresponding weekly average limit at a ratio of 3:1
has also been included. The City's wastewater treatment facilities were not
designed for, nor have they been previously permitted for such stringent ammonia
limits.
When the facilities were constructed in the 1990s the City received assurance from
the Water Quality Section that the ammonia limit would not be less than 18.5 mg/L
until the waste treatment facilities are expanded. These assurances were provided
to the City in a letter from J. Trevor Clements of the Water Quality Section to
Piedmont Olsen Hensley, the City's consulting engineer for the project. A copy of
that letter is attached for your reference. Since then, the facilities have remained
unchanged and the City has continued to consistently meet its discharge
requirements. We therefore expect the State to continue to honor this prior
agreement.
The proposed Permit includes monitoring and a daily maximum limit of 261 ug/L for
nickel on the basis that the long-term monitoring plan demonstrates a potential to
exceed water quality criteria in the receiving stream. Although the City has detected
some nickel in previous tests, the level has never approached the 261 ug/1 level.
The City does not have any significant industrial users that utilize nickel. The City
therefore does not understand the rationale for including this additional monitoring.
We respectfully request the State please explain the methodology used to derive
the requirement.
Quality Always
It's about the people.

9191946-6481 Dear Mr. Brickhouse:
Wilmington . Your request for speculative effluent limits for the subject facility has
919/395-390Q been completed by the staff of the Technical Support Branch. The previous
letter to Mr. Brookhart did not incorporate information concerning increased
Winston-Salem water withdrawals upstream. Our Branch did, not receive any. correspondence., on
919/896-7007 the water plant until after the evaluation for the wastewater treatment plant
had been completed and sent to your firm.
Revised stream flow information has been obtained from the Department's
Division of Water. Resources (DWR) concerning estimates of the 7Q10 flow in
the First Broad Fiver due to water plant expansions for the City of Shelby
and the Cleveland County Sanitary District (CCSD). Previous wasteload allo-
cations for effluent limits for the Shelby WWTP have been evaluated using.a
summer .7Q10 of 70 cfs. The DWR has determined the upstream water supply
withdrawals by Shelby and the CCSD will result in a reduced 7Q10 of 44.3 cfs
at the WWTP's discharge point.
Using the revised 7Q10 flow, tentative effluent limits were determined.
using a Level B modelling analysis, for the.Shelby'WWTP at 6.0 MGD. Prelimi-
nary limits for the conventional constituents are:'

solved oxygen standard of 5 mg/l in the First Broad River. An analysis for
NH3 toxicity was also completed and summer/winter limits of 4.7 and 9.3 mg/l,
respectively, would be needed to protect the instream NH3 criteria. As
previously stated'in the July 22nd letter to Mr. Brookhart, ammonia toxicity
limits based on toxicity will not be applied until the plant expands because
Shelby has consistently passed its whole effluent toxicity test.
The new instream waste concentration (IWC) is 17% and quarterly chronic
toxicity testing will be a permit requirement. Effluent limits for metals
were also affected by the reduced 7Q10 flow. The revised daily maximum
limits are:
Cadmium
11
ug/l
Chromium
288
ug/1
Nickel
507
ug/1
Lead
144
ug/l
Cyanide
29
ug/l
Selenium
29
ug/1
Based on recently updated pretreatment information, a new constituent,
selenium, is now limited, while the previously recommended limit (per July
22nd letter) for mercury of 0.103 ug/l has been rescinded. Monthly effluent
monitoring for copper, zinc, and silver is still. required.
While this letter primarily addresses the parameters directly affected by
the reduction in 7Q10 flow, items previously mentioned in the July 22nd
letter regarding instream and color monitoring, chlorination/dechlorination
processes, and the basinwide water quality management plan for the Broad
River.Basin are still applicable.
Please consider the above information carefully when evaluating the
impact of the proposed flow withdrawal increase. If there are any remaining
questions concerning the Shelby WWTP, please contact Ruth Swanek or Jackie
Nowell of my staff at [phone].

Description of Collection System:
In 2003, the City of Shelby added 7,000 feet of gravity sewer for Magnolia Plantation
and 600 feet of sewer main for Troon Place. The annual addition totaled 7,600 feet of
new sewer line.
The collection system that serves the citizens of Shelby and Cleveland County consists of
176.5 miles of sanitary sewer lines, of these lines approximately 10% are force mains
with the remaining 90% being gravity lines. The force mains consist of piping ranging in
size from 4" to 10"; the gravity mains consist of pipe ranging in size from 4" to 36" with
8,373 connections.
The City of Shelby operates and maintains 21 sewer lift stations within its sewer
collection system. During the year of 2003, maintenance visited all 21 lift stations at a
minimum of once a week. Maintenance department performed scheduled preventative
maintenance and made all necessary repairs as needed to keep lift stations operating at
peak performance. There were no major system breakdowns or repairs for the year 2003.
Performance:
During the past twelve months, we have cleaned 258,718 feet of sewer lines. 234,210
feet was cleaned by jetting, and 24,508 feet were cleaned by nodding. This equals 49
miles of lines cleaned, which represents about 30% of our collection system.

Aerial and high priority lines were inspected February and July, then inspected again in
March and August (see attached sheets). All lines and right of ways not visible to the
general public were inspected and bush -hogged between April and October.
Cavital Improvement Projects for the Past Year:
Removed and replaced 1,200 feet of sewer line and 4 manholes on Cora Street.
Sanitary Sewer Overflows:
During the past 12 months the City of Shelby has had 25 reported spills to NCDENR. In
each case, they were called into the Division of Water Quality, Mooresville Regional
Office. It is the policy of the City of Shelby that the ORC or back-up ORC visit the
overflow site during the spill as possible and never more than twenty-four hours after the
first notification. Samples are collected and tested for any spill that reaches surface
waters of the state upstream, down stream and at the point of entry.
In January a broken blow off valve on a force main caused a 12,000 gallon spill on
Fallston Road.
In February a bucket used for testing waste water fell into a manhole on Old Boiling
Springs Road caused a 18,4000 gallon spill
Between March 6 h and June e, we incurred 14 sewer spills that were caused by
Inflow/Infiltration during heavy rain events. The dates are as follows, along with the
amount of each spill.

Inflow/Infiltration during heavy rains. The total gallons for these spills are 3,481,925
gallons.
On March 23, an unknown obstacle caused a 100 gallon spill.

Grease caused a 10,160 gallon overflow on April, and on April 9, roots along with heavy
rains caused a 60,000 gallon overflow.
Roots and grease caused a 1,500 gallon spill on Crescent Avenue on May 6.
An unknown blockage caused a 280,560 gallon spill on the right of way off of Willow
Lane on June 24.
Towels in the line caused a 953 gallon spill on August 11 one Warren Street behind the
County Jail. Roots caused a spill on August 27 on Poplar Circle resulting in 121,920
gallons being spilled.
A crew mowing the highway right of way ran over and broke the valve box, causing it to
break off the air release valve leaking to a 7,200 gallon spill on September 12.
Grease in back of 423 E. Marion Street cause a 8,150 gallon spill on October 27.

City of Shelby
Mooresville
County: Cleveland
() Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors were wrongly applied to the
detriment of the petitioner;
All applied correctly
() Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
The remission request only indicated that new equipment failure repairs were made. As the record
indicates, the facility was in violation during both 2/03 and 3/03. Apparently, during 4/03 most of the
problems were resolved and compliance was achieved.
() Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
The violations are said to be related to construction problems, including failures of new equipment;
however, the City had an opportunity to apply for an SOC.
O Whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
LV-2003-0377 — Assessed $2085.45 for violations occurring during 2/03. Remission request denied.
Paid in full.
LV-2002-0126 — Assessed $335.45 for violation occurring during 12/01. Paid in full.

the attached waiver form and return it to the attention of Bob Sledge at the letterhead address.
Once the completed waiver form is received, we can continue with the processing of your
request. Your request will be placed on the agenda of the Director's next scheduled enforcement
conference and you will be notified of the result.

During the budget -planning period in the spring of 2001, the condition of both Primary Clarifiers
were evaluated and the money was requested for FY 2001 - 2002 to review the condition and
develop a plan to refurbish these two pieces of equipment.
Willis Engineering and the City developed an RFP and a contract was awarded in the fall of
2001 to Terry & Terry Construction of Greenville, SC
Construction Schedule — Terry and Terry provided a basic schedule for
construction indicating work to begin on or about the middle of January 2002 and
completing prior to the Construction end date of November 17, 2002.
➢ Notice to Proceed — The formal Notice to Proceed was given to Terry and Terry
establishing that work shall begin on or before January 21, 2002, with Completion
of the contract by November 17, 2002.
➢ It was noted during the Pre -Construction meeting that the work was being
performed within the confines of an operating wastewater treatment plant facility
and therefore requires special attention to ensure uninterrupted wastewater
treatment sufficient to meet the requirements of the City's treatment permits.
Coordination between the Contractor and the City Staff was therefore imperative.
Several interruptions at the Primary Clarifiers were going to be required during
the course of construction. These items were to be scheduled in advance with the
Plant Staff and approved by the Engineer.
One of the major needs to rebuild the Primary Clarifiers was the fact that the sludge removal
system was ineffective; this was causing a large build-up of sludge in both Clarifiers. At the time
construction began on the # 2 Clarifier there was a large amount of sludge in this tank (4 to 5
feet), which had to be removed in short order. Also the construction company needed to pull the
# 1 clarifier down for inspection.
During the last week in January 2002 and the first week in February 2002, the large sludge
inventory of both primary clarifiers was released (pumped) into the plant process. This caused a
slight upset with the plant process that the Plant Staff was able to deal with in a short time.
The work on the # 2 Clarifier continued for approximately 6 months, during this time the Plants
Primary Treatment was limited to half (1 Primary Clarifier and Trickling Filter instead of 2).
This change in process was managed well by the Plant staff and our effluent limits were met.
About the middle of September 2002 the # 2 Primary was placed back in service and the # 1
Clarifier was pumped down and emptied for construction. This required again, pumping a large
volume of sludge into the Plant flow, again causing an upset to the Plant process that took about
two weeks to recover from.
On the morning of September 21, 2002, Terry and Terry Construction showed up on site and
began to remove their equipment. The only information that was given to the City was that their
Bonding Company had requested that they cease all work and vacate the job site within 24 hours.
This left the Plant with only one operating Clarifier and Trickling Filter (#2) and no Construction
personnel on site.
On the morning of November 23, 2002, the Plant Staff noted that the # 2 Clarifier's sludge
sweep arm was stopped. The Engineer was called and the Staff was instructed to investigate the

reason why this had happened. It was discovered that the shear pin in the gearbox had sheared.
After replacing the pin 3 to 4 times, the plant staff was unable to keep the clarifier operating.
At this point we had very little Primary Treatment at the facility. Willis Engineering and the
Equipment Supplier formulated a plan to find out what the problem was and to solve it.
It was decided that the #2 Clarifier had to be pumped down to determine what was causing the
problem with the Sweep Arm On November 27, 2002 the pumping equipment was in place and
an attempt was made to pump the large volume of sludge that had settled in this tank out and into
the plant process flow. The pumping operation was unsuccessful in removing all the sludge so it
was decided to suspend the operation, get more equipment on site and to try again on December
2, 2002. During both pumping operations a large volume of sludge was introduced into the Plant
process, which again caused an upset within the Plant. Through all of these problems we were
able to manage the system without any violations of our permit.
On January 27, 2003 the Bonding Company placed Southeastern Construction, Inc. on site to
complete the Clarifier project.
The first week of February 2003, the # 2 clarifier again sheared the drive pin, on February 4,
2003 this clarifier was pumped down with the bulk of the sludge being pumped directly into the
sludge holding tank. Repairs were made and the clarifier placed back into service.
Due to the prolonged construction project and the numerous failures of the new equipment
causing the need to introduce raw primary sludge into the process flow, the Plant Staff was
unable to recover quickly enough to avoid exceeding our effluent limits for the plant during the
month of February 2003.
As of the month of April 2003, the Plant Staff has regained control of the plant process and we
have been in compliance since March.
The City would like for the information presented here to be taken under consideration as you
review our request for mitigation of civil penalty assessed for the NPDES / DMR violations that
the WWTP has incurred.

TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
Enforcement costs.
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282. 1 (b), which are:

(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for
contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter.
Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You
must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and
a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282. 1 (b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violations;
(c) the violations were inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violation;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.

Please submit this information to the attention of -
Ms. Coleen Sullins
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

details regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for further
appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee
on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee cannot
consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered
by the Director and therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Rex Gleason
FROM: Richard Bridgeman��j
SUBJECT: Request for Remission of Civil Penalty
Case No. LV-2003-0377
City of Shelby
NPDES Permit No. NC0024538
Cleveland County
The City was assessed a civil penalty of $2085.45, including $85.45 in enforcement costs,
on 5/14/03. The case covers a TSR monthly average violation and a TSR weekly average
violation, occurring during 2/03.
The City is essentially basing the remission request on problems it is having with a WWTP
renovation project which has been ongoing since early 2002. During 3/03, the facility was in
violation of the monthly average limits for BOD5 and TSR and r e weekly average limits for
BOD5 (2 violations), TSR (2 violations), and Fecal Coliform (1 violation); these violations should
result in an assessment. There were no violations during 4/03 (latest DMR).
VThere
have been 3 previous civil penalty assessments against the City, the last of which
was for a CN daily maximum violation during 12/01. The City was also issued an NOV for a limit
violation during 5/02; the City was advised of an SOC in this document.
Within the framework of the remission factors, the permittee did not provide justification
for remission.

Penalties for Violations of N.C. General
Statute 143-215.1(a)(6) and NPDES Permit
No. NCO024538
City of Shelby, WWTP
Case No. LV-2003-0377
Cleveland County
The City of Shelby respectfully requests consideration for mitigation of the $2085.45 Civil
Penalty and enforcement costs assessed due to the city's NPDES permit violations for the month
of February 2003 for Monthly Average for Total Suspended Solids, and Weekly Average for
Total Suspended Solids. This violation is for Permit No. NC0024538.
We would like consideration of your decision to be based on the following:
G.S. 143B-282.1(b)
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and the gravity of the violations;
(6) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying of failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
The City of Shelby's WWTP has been under a $500,000 renovation project to upgrade the two
primary clarifiers for the past 18 months. The following is a brief timeline of the difficulties- that
have arisen due to this project.

During the budget -planning period in the spring of 2001, the condition of both Primary Clarifiers
were evaluated and the money was requested for FY 2001 - 2002 to review the condition and
develop a plan to refurbish these two pieces of equipment.
Willis Engineering and the City developed an RFP and a contract was awarded in the Fall of
2001 to Terry & Terry Construction of Greenville, SC
➢ Construction Schedule -- Terry and Terry provided a basic schedule for
construction indicating work to begin on or about the middle of January 2002 and
completing prior to the Construction end date of November 17, 2002.
➢ Notice to Proceed — The formal Notice to Proceed was given to Terry and Terry
establishing that work shall begin on or before January 21, 2002, with Completion
of the contract by November 17, 2002.
➢ It was noted during the Pre -Construction meeting that the work was being
performed within the confines of an operating wastewater treatment plant facility
and therefore requires special attention to ensure uninterrupted wastewater
treatment sufficient to meet the requirements of the City's treatment permits.
Coordination between the Contractor and the City Staff was therefore imperative.
Several interruptions at the Primary Clarifiers were going to be required during
the course of construction. These items were to be scheduled in advance with the
Plant Staff and approved by the Engineer.
One of the major needs to rebuild the Primary Clarifiers was the fact that the sludge removal
system was ineffective; this was causing a large build-up of sludge in both Clarifiers. At the time
construction began on the # 2 Clarifier there was a large amount of sludge in this tank (4 to 5
feet), which had to be removed in short order. Also the construction company needed to pull the
# 1 clarifier down for inspection.
During the last week in January 2002 and the first week in February 2002, the large sludge
inventory of both primary clarifiers was released (pumped) into the plant process_TMs caused a
slight upset with the plant process that the Plant Staff was able to deal with in a short time. .
The work on the # 2 Clarifier continued for approximately 6 months, during this time the Plants
Primary Treatment was limited to half (1 Primary Clarifier and Trickling Filter instead of 2).
This change in process was managed well by the Plant staff and our effluent limits were met.
About the middle of September 2002 the # 2 Primary was placed back in service and the # 1
Clarifier was pumped down and emptied for construction. This required again, pumping a large
volume of sludge into the Plant flow, again causing an upset to the Plant process that took about
two weeks to recover from.
On the morning of September 21, 2002, Terry and Terry Construction showed up on site and
began to remove their equipment. The only information that was given to the City was that their
Bonding Company had requested that they cease all work and vacate the job site within 24 hours.
This left the Plant with only one operating Clarifier and Trickling Filter (#2) and no Construction
personnel on site.
On the morning of November 23, 2002, the Plant Staff noted that the # 2 Clarifier's sludge
sweep arm was stopped. The Engineer was called and the Staff was instructed to investigate the

On the morning of November 23, 2002, the Plant Staff noted that the # 2 Clarifier's sludge
sweep arm was stopped. The Engineer was called and the Staff was instructed to investigate the

i
reason why this had happened. It was discovered that the shear pin in the gearbox had sheared.
After replacing the pin 3 to 4 times, the plant staff was unable to keep the clarifier operating.
At this point we had very little Primary Treatment at the facility. Willis Engineering and the
Equipment Supplier formulated a plan to find out what the problem was and to solve it.
It was decided that the #2 Clarifier had to be pumped down to determine what was causing the
problem with the Sweep Arm On November 27, 2002 the pumping equipment was in place and
an attempt was made to pump the large volume of sludge that had settled in this tank out and into
the plant process flow. The pumping operation was unsuccessful in removing all the sludge so it
was decided to suspend the operation, get more equipment on site and to try again on December
2, 2002. During both pumping operations a large volume of sludge was introduced into the Plant
process, which again caused an upset within the Plant. Through all of these problems we were
able to manage the system without any violations of our permit.
On January 27, 2003 the Bonding Company placed Southeastern Construction, Inc. on site to
complete the Clarifier project.
The first week of February 2003, the # 2 clarifier again sheared the drive pin, on February 4,
2003 this clarifier was pumped down with the bulk of the sludge being pumped directly into the
sludge holding tank. Repairs were made and the clarifier placed back into service.
Due to the prolonged construction project and the numerous failures of the new equipment
causing the need to introduce raw primary sludge into the process flow, the Plant Staff was
unable to recover quickly enough to avoid exceeding our effluent limits for the plant during the
month of -February 2003.
As of the month of April '03 the Plant Staff has regained control of the plant process and we are
now in compliance for this month.
As of the date of this correspondence, construction continues on the #1 clarifier with completion
projected within the month of June 2003,
The City would like for the information presented here to be taken under consideration as you
review our request for mitigation of civil penalty assessed for the NPDES / DMR violations that
the WWTP has incurred.

were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violations;

During the past year the City_ of Shelby's First Broad River WWTP has been undergoing the renovation of both of our Primary Clarifiers.
We have been limited to the use of 1 Clarifier at a time. After the # 2 Clarifier was renovated and placed back into service, we have had
mechanical difficulties with it. The plant went out of Compliance for TSS during the week of 2/16 - 2/22, our weekly limits is an average
of 45.0 mg/l.m we had an average of 86 mg/1_ This also placed us out for the monthly average, Limits is 30 mgA and we had a 37 mgA
average. The Clarifier project is nearing completion, I feel that. after a year of process changes to accommodate the clarifier work that
we now have the plant close to normal operation at this point.

Maintenance
Chet Whiting
Mr. Steve Tolbert
The above named laboratory was inspected to verify compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0800 for
the analysis of environmental samples.
II. GENERAL COMMENTS:
The laboratory was neat and well organized. Laboratory personnel provided the inspector(s) with
all materials, and information requested for examination.
III. DEFICIENCIES, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
GENERAL LABORATORY:
A. COMMENT: The laboratory has a chemicals received log, however reagent and standard
preparation documentation is not preserved. This information is considered essential
documentation and must be maintained for a period of five years. It is very important that a
laboratory be able to trace reagents and standards to the source material used for their
preparation. Procedures for documenting this information were discussed duririgr the
inspection, if there are any questions or we can be of assistance contact this office.
B. COMMENT: During an examination of turbidity documentation it was observed that the
Water Treatment Plant.was. performing NPDES analyses that require certification by this
Program. Turbidity is analyzed under the auspices of the WWTP # 238. Please clarify the
status of these analyses. If it is determined that.the WWTP is not accepting responsibility for
those analyses please inform us in your response. In that instance the Water Treatment
Plant will need to obtain certification, or contract these analyses to a certified facility.
RESIDUE SUSPENDED:
C. COMMENT: The laboratory is using a blank to evaluate the annual drying cycle comparative
study. This does not provide adequate information as to how sample will respond. It is
required that a sample at the higher concentration range be used to determine the

PrPage2
effectiveness of the drying cycle. If the cycle is sufficient for the higher concentration range it
will be sufficient for all lower concentrations.
TOTAL RESIDUAL CHLORINE:
D. COMMENT: The laboratory does not analyze a second source LCS each day samples are .
analyzed. TRC analyzed in the laboratory is subject to more stringent requirements than those
specified for Field Parameter analysis.
REQUIREMENT: 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (a) (7) (B) states in part: "analyze one known standard in
addition to calibration standards each day samples are analyzed to document accuracy".
COMMENT: The laboratory may. purchase a known LCS, or prepare a LCS using a standard
from a different vendor, or a different lot number from the same vendor.
FECL COLIFORM (MF):
E. COMMENT: No comparison test is conducted before a new lot of consumables are put into
use.
REQUIREMENT: It is required that when a new lot of culture medium, pads, or membrane
filters is to be used, a comparison of the current lot in use, (reference lot) against the new lot
(test lot), be made. As a minimum, make single analyses on five positive samples. Ref:
Standard Methods, 18th Edition - Method 9020 B.3d. (page 9-7)
IV. PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION:
Data and DMRs from September, December and May, 2002 and January 2003 were examined.
Supporting analytical documentation and records was also examined. No deficiencies were
observed.
January 2, 2003 minor reporting error: Ammonia Lab Values 14.5/14/3 mg/L, DMR report 15.4
G y
One missing BOD drift check 9/18/02 day 5.
F. COMMENT: The laboratory needs to establish duplicate acceptance criteria. Some
procedures were discussed and 'information will be sent under separate cover.
V. CONCLUSION:
Correcting the above cited deficiencies and comments and implementing the
recommendations will help this lab to produce quality data and meet certification requirements.
Please respond to all numbered deficiencies and lettered comments.

Description of Treatment Process:
This is a 6.0 (six) MGD (Million Gallons a Day) Biological (Activated Sludge)
Wastewater Treatment Facility consisting of a bar screen, grit removal, cylindrical
fines screen, two primary clarifiers, two trickling filters, pump stations, aeration
basin, four final clarifiers, two chlorinators, two sulfonators, sludge pump station,
aerated sludge holding tank, two filter belt presses, ten bay sludge compost
building, and dual standby power generators. This Facility discharges into the
First Broad River, which is a Class C water in the Broad River Basin.
H. Performance
Summary of System Performance for calendar year 2001:
This Facility is well maintained and in good operational condition. Effluent from
the secondary clarifiers is of high quality with few suspended solids. The mixed
liquor in the aeration basin is mixed well and is maintained at a sufficient
dissolved oxygen level for the biological process to operate properly. The mixed
liquor in the secondary clarifiers exhibits good settling characteristics.
Records concerning instrument calibration and process control are being
maintained in accordance with NPDES Permit requirements.

The discharge monitoring reports (DMRs), chain -of -custody forms, and
laboratory analyses form are readily available for review in the facility's office.
All records are complete and up-to-date.
Overall for the previous twelve (12) months this facility has performed
exceptionally well, other than the following deficiencies and or violations as
listed.
Deficiencies:
None noted during any of the three (3) inspections conducted during 2001, Plant,
Compost Facility, Laboratory Facility.
Violations of Permit Cond[flons
1) December 101
Exceeded daily limit of .029 mg/L of Cyanide.
12/19/01 Total Result .12 mg/L
Cyanide is referred to as a pass through constituent in wastewater. We
control the amount of cyanide introduce into our collection system through
the Regulation set forth in our Sewer Use Ordnance. At times some of our
local Industrial Users may release more than is permitted. When we find a
test result out of limit, then we go to our Industrial Users to try and find
out who may have discharged this into our system and instruct them to
correct this problem
Notification of Wastewater Oveyflows
The Over Flows listed below were due to significant rain events occurring over a
24 to 48 hour period. During a large rain event, water invades the City's
collection system through a process know as "I & I" (Inflow and Infiltration).
When the amount of rainwater entering the system surpasses the Plants "Pumping
Capacity" then an overflow occurs. This untreated or partially treated wastewater
enters the First Broad River at a point just north of the plant regular outfall pipe.
March 29, 2001
500,000 gals.
June 25, 2001
290,000 gals.
September 4, 2001
79,000 gals

Notification of Wastewater Overflows
The Over Flows listed below were due to significant rain events occurring over a 24 to 48 hour
period. During a large rain event, water invades the City's collection system through a process
know as "I & I" (Inflow and Infiltration). When the amount of rainwater entering the system
surpasses the Plants "Pumping Capacity" then an overflow occurs. This untreated or partially
treated wastewater enters the First Broad River at a point just north of the plant regular outfall
pipe.

Description of Collection System:
In 2002, the City of Shelby added 8,485 feet of force main and 7,085 feet of gravity line,
most of this being the completion of the Fallston Sewer line Extension. The City also
added 3 new sewer pump stations, two of which are on the Fallston sewer system and one
new pump station to serve the Wal-Mart Distribution Center. This station was designed
to enable the City to eliminate one of our older pump stations in the future. See attached
sheets for new pump stations for years 2001 and 2002.
The collection system that serves the citizens of Shelby and Cleveland County consists of
175 miles of sanitary sewer lines, of these lines approximately 10% are force mains with
the remaining 90% being gravity lines. The force mains consist of piping ranging in size
from 4" to 10"; the gravity mains consist of pipe ranging in size from 4" to 36" with
8,325 connections.
System wide there is a total of 21 lift stations, which are continuously monitored for a
number of alarm conditions. If an alarm condition is detected, an auto -dialer
immediately notifies City personnel. Each pump station is visited and inspected weekly.

Performance:
During the past twelve months, we have cleaned 143,484 feet of sewer lines. 116,283
feet was cleaned by jetting, and 27,201 feet were cleaned by rodding. This equals 27.18
miles of lines cleaned, which represents about 16% of our collection system.
Aerial and high priority lines were inspected for the first time during May and June, then
inspected again in November and December (see attached sheets). All lines and right of
ways not visible to the general public were inspected and bush -hogged between April and
October.
Capital Improvement Projects for the Past Year:
1. Remove and replace deteriorated sewer lines and manholes in NC Highway
180
2. Relay a section of 10" gravity line north of Hendrick Street Pump Station and
stabilizing creek bank to stop the creek from undermining the sewer line.
3. Upgrade the Hendrick Street force main upgrade the 1,100-foot force main
from 6" ductile iron to 8" PVC.
4. Replace 800' manholes on Warren Street.
Sanitary Sewer Overflows:
During the past 12 months the City of Shelby has had 28 total spills, with 16 spills that
were reportable to NCDENR. In each case, they were called into the Division of Water
Quality, Mooresville Regional Office. It is the policy of the City of Shelby that the ORC
or back-up ORC visit the overflow site during the spill as possible and never more than
twenty-four hours after the first notification. Samples are collected and tested for any
spill that reaches surface waters of the state upstream, down stream and at the point of
entry.
Two spills were reported in January of 2002. The First was caused by grease and sand.
5,000 gallons were spilled at the intersection of Warren Street and Charles. The spill was
contained with water reaching waters of the state. The second spill was also caused by
grease and allowed 500 gallons to enter an unnamed tributary of Briarcreek
In February, three separate spills were reported. The first one allowed all of 200,400
gallons to reach an unnamed tributary of the First Broad River. A definite cause of the
blockage could not be found, with only a small amount of roots and debris being pulled
from the sewer line. The spill was ongoing for five days before being reported. A large
root mass was the cause of February's second spill of 18.000 gallons of this 16,200
gallons reached an unnamed tributary of First Broad River near 110 Shady Ridge Lane.
The third spill was also on Shade Ridge Lane. Four days after the previous spill while
City crew was rodding the area above where the previous spill occurred roots broke loose
in a manhole and the crew was unable to catch them. The roots lodged in a line
downstream which caused a blockage that resulted in an overflow of 1,233 gallons.
A partial of debris caused the only spill in March when 840 gallons entered an unnamed
tributary of Hickory Creek on Summit Street.

June saw a total of three reportable spills. The first on a right-of-way off Wesson Road.
Roots and logs caused the 31,200-gallon spill with 28,080 gallons reaching an unnamed
tributary of First Broad River. The second spill was on the right-of-way at 423 E. Marion
Street. Debris and sediment caused an 84,000-gallon spill with 75,600 gallons reaching
an unnamed tributary of Hickory Creek. The third spill grease and sand caused all 60,120
gallons to spill to another unnamed tributary of Hickory Creek at 418 Suttle Street.
August saw two reportable spills. The fast, a broken clay line at 724 W. Marion St.
caused debris to build up in the line resulting in a 3,150 gallon spill with 2,600 gallons
reaching an unnamed tributary of First Broad River. The second, a 2,200-gallon spill
with 1,100 gallons reaching a private pond at Deerbrook Golf Course. The club houses a
pump, which is on a low-pressure system, failed. The alarm system also failed. Both were
replaced with new equipment.
October had only one reportable spill. A Truck ran over a valve box breaking the male
adaptor on blow off for force main at 307 E. Stagecoach Trail on the Fallston line. Fifty
(50) gallons of the 1,000-gallon spill reached an unnamed tributary of Broad River.
November had three reportable spills. The first, roots caused the 3,200-gallon spill at
1214 Donna Drive with all reaching an unnamed tributary of First Broad River. The
second spill also caused by roots allowed 1,500 gallons to spill at 1508 Kings Road the
entire spill was contained without any reached waters of state. The third, 270 gallons of
the 300-gallon spill reached an unnamed tributary of First Broad River. A partial
blockage in gravity line below pump station caused the spill when pumps cut on the line
was not clear enough to take all the flow, which then backed up at 514 W. Grover St.
December only had one reportable spill, inflow -infiltration during heavy rains allowed
2,400 gallons to spill at Kings Road and Graham Street intersection with all 2,400 gallons
reaching Hickory Creek.

Dear Mr. Bridgeman:
Please receive this letter in response to the "Notice of Deficiency (NOD)" noted in the
"Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report" dated January 30, 2003 by Ms. Williams following
her inspection of December 31, 2002 of our facility.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW / OPERATIONS AND MAINTENANCE:
1) "One of the primary clarifiers was out of service due to contractor circumstances, the other
clarifier's sweep arm was out of service for a period of 2 weeks as of the day of the
inspection"
Our # 1 Clarifier is out of service due to an equipment up -grade that is
being undertaken by the City. The internal mechanisms, 1960 technology,
will be replaced with up to date technology and equipment, this should be
completed within the next 60 days.
Our # 2 Clarifier had been up -graded with the new equipment, as with all
things mechanical, there were some operational problems that needed to be
addressed by the manufacturer. The clarifier was back in service as of the
first week in February.
2) "The roof joints over the compost building are leaking during rainfall events,"
To the best of my knowledge, there are no "roof leaks" in this building.
Due to the process that takes place in this building, there is always a very
warm and humid atmosphere present. This moisture collects on the ceiling
and the steel beams and bands in this building giving the impression that
there are leaks, in actuality, it is "Raining inside the building".
3) "Effluent sampler tubing needs to be replaced due to algae buildup inside of tubing."
a This tubing has been replaced.

Dear Mr. Lesley:
FEB 19, 90
Subject: Notification of Plant Upset
City of Shelby WWTP
Cleveland County, North Carolina
NPDES Permit No. NCO024538
As a follow up to our phone conversation the afternoon of February 12, 2003, this is to inform the
State that the City of Shelby's WWTP appears to have suffered an upset involving our biological
process.
Through laboratory analyses and microscopic evaluation of our activated sludge, it appeared that
the plant has experienced some type of pass through constituent that has left our micro-organisms
either weakened or dead.
After malting this determination on 2/12/03 we began a recovery process that involved re -seeding
the Plant with activated sludge provided by the Town of Boiling Springs WWTP. We also had
one of our consulting engineers inspect the Plant and advised us that the re -seeding operation
appeared to be the correct action to recover the Plant.
As for the cause of the upset, we feel that it may have been a combination of two or more events
that lead to this. First, we were, at the time, pulling random samples from our septage haulers, we
believe that one of them that services portable toilets, due to the resent wet weather in our area,
delivered 2000 gallons of waste from his storage tank containing a high concentration of
Formaldehyde and Methanol, this coupled with a low influent flow is most likely the cause.
As of mid -day 2/14/03 the Plant appears to be recovering, the effluent numbers, i.e. TSS and
Ammonia stabilized and are falling back down to what is our normal range, we are waiting on the
BOD numbers. At this time we have not exceeded our permit limits for the month, if the recovery
continues we should be able to meet permit.
Respectfully sub 'tted,

NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF

Subject: Notice of Expanded Renewal Requirements
NPDES Permit NCO024538
Shelby W vTP
Cleveland County
The subject permit expires on August 31, 2003. This advance notice is being sent to explain the new
requirements for your permit renewal application.
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. To satisfy this requirement, your renewal package
should be sent to the Division postmarked no later than March 4, 2003. Failure to respond to this notice by March
4, 2003 may result in a civil penalty assessment or initiation of Denial proceedings for this permit. 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 violates North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and
could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
The U.S. EPA changed the application requirements (at 40 CFR 122) for municipal permits, effective August
1, 2001. EPA forms 1 and 2A are attached to this Notice, and must be used for your permit renewal application. To
accommodate the limited time between implementation of the new requirements and your permit renewal deadline,
the effluent testing requirements have been amended as follows:
1. Conduct two Priority Pollutant Analyses (PPAs) and submit results with your renewal application.
Collect samples for the PPAs in conjunction with sampling for your current quarterly toxicity test. The
new PPA requirements differ from previous versions. Each PPA must include:
➢ Analyses for all total recoverable metals listed in Part D of form 2A. This includes metals that are
not normally monitored through your NPDES permit.
➢ Analyses for total phenolic compounds and hardness.
➢ Analyses for all of the volatile organic compounds listed in Part D.
➢ Analyses for all of the acid -extractable compounds listed in Part D.
➢ Analyses for all base -neutral compounds listed in Part D.
2. Conduct three toxicity tests for an organism other than Ceriodaphnia and submit results with your renewal
application. The tests should be conducted quarterly, with samples collected on the same day as your
current toxicity test. Call the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at [phone] for guidance in conducting the
additional tests.
These additional analyses must accompany your permit renewal application, or any request for a major permit
modification. The Division cannot draft your permit without the additional data. Any data submitted cannot be
over 41/2years old.

Case No. LV 02-126
Cleveland County
This letter transmits a notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount
of $335.45 ($250.00 civil penalty + $85.45 enforcement costs) against the City of Shelby.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A' review has been conducted of the
discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by the City of Shelby for the month of December
2001. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations
found in NPDES Permit No. NC0024538. The violations are summarized in Attachment A to
this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the City of Shelby violated
the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit No. NCO024538 and North Carolina
General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. A civil
penalty may be assessed in accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with
authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, D. Rex Gleason, Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Mooresville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment
against the City of Shelby:

violation of the permit daily maximum effluent
limit for Cyanide.
TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
Enforcement costs.
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-
282. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
r 2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:

A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for
contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter.
Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You
must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and
a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violation; -
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violation;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Ms. Coleen Sullins
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review the information during a bimonthly enforcement conference and inform
you of his decision in the matter of the remission request. His response will
provide details regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for
further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's
Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee
cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request
considered by the Director and therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
1'
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an
administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to
the Office of Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes. You must:

File your original petition with the
Office of Administrative Hearings
6714 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
and
Mail or hand -deliver a copy of the petition to
Mr. Dan Oakley, General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Failure to exercise one of the options above within Lhigy days, as evidenced by a date
stamp (not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter
being referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect
the penalty.
Please be advised that any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new
enforcement action, including an additional penalty. If you have any questions about this civil
penalty assessment, please contact the Water Quality Section staff of the Mooresville Regional

143-215. 1 (a)(6) and NPDES Permit No. NCO024538
City of Shelby WWTP
Case No. LV 02-126
Cleveland County
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount
of $335.45 ($250.00 civil penalty + $85.45 enforcement costs) against the City of Shelby.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A: review has been conducted of the
discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by the City of Shelby for the month of December
2001. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations
found in NPDES Permit No. NCO02453 8. The violations are summarized in Attachment A to
this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the City of Shelby violated
the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit No. NCO024538 and North Carolina
General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. A civil
penalty may be assessed in accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with
authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, D. Rex Gleason, Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Mooresville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment
against the City of Shelby:

For / of the one (1) violation of G.S. 143-
215. 1 (a)(6) and NPDES Permit No. NC0024538, by
discharging waste into the waters of the State in
violation of the permit daily maximum effluent
limit for Cyanide.
TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
Enforcement costs.
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action- for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:

A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for
contesting the accuracy of any= of the statements contained in the assessment letter.
Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You
must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and
a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a)' one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator. promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violation;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Ms. Coleen Sullins
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for -remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review the information during a bimonthly, enforcement conference and inform
you of his decision in the matter of the remission request. His response will
provide details regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for
.further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's
Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee
cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request
considered by the Director and therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
1'
3.. Submit a written request for an administrative bearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an
administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to

I. INTRODUCTION:
ON -SITE INSPECTION REPORT
Shelby First Broad River WWTP Lab
City Hall, Drawer 207, Shelby, NC 28150
238
Abbreviated
January 18, 2002
Chet Whiting
Mr. Steve Tolbert
COMMENT: Chemical and reagent preparation documentation needs to be increased so that
standards and reagents are traceable back to original lot numbers. A draft copy of guidance on
the use of unique identifiers will be sent under separate cover. Further discussion will be
required as this requirement is implemented
AMMONIA NITROGEN:
1. DEFICIENCY: The annual comparative distillation study is overdue.
REQUIREMENT: Perform the required distillation as stated in the document issued during the
audit. SUBMIT A COPY TO THIS OFFICE WITHIN THIRTY DAYS, OF RECEIPT OF THIS
REPORT.
COMMENT: The comparative distillation study is required by 40 CFR Part 136 Table IB, Note 6.
Instruction for the distillation requirements are set fourth in a Division of Water Quality
Memorandum dated January 29, 1998 from James Meyer.
SUSPENDED SOLIDS:
2. DEFICIENCY: The TSS oven temperature was occasionally outside the acceptable range at
the time of the audit. (Usually by 1° C)
REQUIREMENT: Maintain the TSS oven within the required range of 1030 to 105°C. ref:
STANDARD METHODS 18th EDITION 2540 D (3) (c)
C. COMMENT: The temperature of the solids oven was 1061 C at the start of the audit, by the
conclusion of the audit the temperature was 1051 after adjustment was made. It was indicated
that personnel had removed sample from the oven prior to the audit. Part of the problem may be
when the temperature is recorded.- Record the temperature first thing in the morning prior to
adding or removing samples or at the end of the day when the oven has stabilized. Also it was
observed that the door seal does not always effectively close. This may be a contributing factor
as well and needs to be repaired as soon as possible.

City of Shelby WWTP Lab Audit 2
D. COMMENT: The TSS check standard for. this quarter was outside acceptable recovery
criteria (90—110%). The reason for this failure must be investigated and an acceptable standard
result must be obtained. Please include this information in the response to this report.
COMMENT: The check standard information is recorded with -TSS sample analyses. It is
recommended that a separate Q.0 folder be created so that Q.0 information is readily available
for review. This will also help the laboratory keep track of annual and quarterly requirements.
TURBIDITY:
E. COMMENT: This analysis is performed by and for the City of Shelby WTP at the first Broad
River WWTP Lab. All equipment and reagents are on sight as well as current calibration
documentation. Since the WWTP Lab carries the certification for this parameter a grater degree
of involvement and oversight from WWTP personnel is not only prudent, but also required.
Copies of analytical records and DMRs must be maintained at the WWTP Lab so that they are
readily available for review.
FECAL COLIFORM (MF):
F. COMMENT: An increased in the number of greater than (>) results were observed for this
parameter. This is less of a laboratory issue than a plant issue since the instances are not
consistent but random in nature. The addition of a 1 ml sample to the effluent series will probably
decrease the number of greater than results noticeably.
DATA REVIEW:
Current data and logs for certified analyses were examined as well as a spot-check of November
2001 data for comparison to the November 2001 DMR. No errors or deficiencies other than
those indicated in the above report were observed.
II. CONCLUSION:
The laboratory does a good job overall. Generally deficiencies observed were minor and
infrequent. A few systematic errors were observed. Most of the deficiencies can be corrected by
fine tuning laboratory documentation. All deficiencies from the previous inspection were
corrected. Laboratory personnel were professional and courteous throughout the audit process.
Improvements in documentation were observed.
When reviewing this report please note items that may require alterations of standard operating
procedure. It may be necessary to make changes to the laboratory SOP as a result of this
report.
Please respond to all numbered deficiencies and lettered comments.

The facility was last inspected by Wes Bell of this office on August 24, 2000.
According to the permit description, the 6.0 MGD wastewater treatment system consists of
a bar screen, cylindrical fines screen, grit removal, dual primary clarifiers, dual trickling filters,
aeration basin, four final clarifiers, return sludge and waste sludge pump stations, two chlorinators,
two sulfonators, aerated sludge holding tank, dual filter belt presses, ten bay compost building, dual
standby power generators, and sludge incinerator. The permit description does not include an
influent pump station and an additional aeration basin. In addition, there is no sludge incinerator;
therefore, the permit does not adequately describe the WWTP.
The permit for this facility became effective on 2/l/99 and expires on 8/31/03.
RECORDS AND REPORTS:
Records and reports consisting of monthly monitoring reports (DMR's), chain of custody
forms, sample analysis reports, Operator -in -Responsible Charge (ORC)/daily operation log, flow
charts, sludge records, process control data, maintenance logs, O & M manuals, and calibration logs
are maintained in accordance to permit requirements. All records were in-depth and well organized.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
Both aeration basin trains were in service. Each train consists of three cells that operate in
series. Only five bays are currently utilized in the compost building. All treatment units appeared
to be operating properly and the facility was well maintained. The mixed liquor appeared to be well
mixed and adequately oxygenated. The screenings and grit are transported to the county landfill.
The two on -site generators are well maintained. The ORC and staff were very knowledgeable of the
treatment processes and equipment used at the facility. An on-line computer system is used for
extensive monitoring of process equipment and tracking of WWTP performance.
The process control program consists of DO, MLSS, MLVSS, settleability tests, MCRT, and
sludge blanket measurements. Sludge wasting is based on MLVSS concentrations. The facility
maintains an in-depth process control program that is logged into the facility's on-line computer
system.
The facility is staffed with a Grade IV ORC. A designated certified back-up operator is
CP
available when the ORC is unable to visit the facility. The WWTP is adequately staffed with
certified operators 24 hours a day, 7 days per week.
LABORATORY:
The on -site laboratory (Certification #238) and the contracted services of SIMALABS
(Certification #85) and Shealy Environmental Services Inc. (Certification 4329) provide
analytical support. The laboratories were not evaluated during the inspection. Please refer to Mr.
Chet Whiting's (Division's Laboratory Certification Unit) Laboratory Certification Maintenance
Inspection report dated 10/17/00 for the inspection performed at the on -site laboratory on
7/28/00.

LABORATORY cont'd•
The pH, DO, and TRC meters and thermometer appeared to be properly calibrated.
EFFLUENURECEIVING WATERS:
The facility discharges into the First Broad River, which is a Class C water in the Broad
River Basin. At the time of the inspection, the effluent was clear with no floatable solids or foam.
The receiving stream did not appear to be negatively impacted. The discharge outfall was well
maintained and accessible.
A review of the facility's DMRs revealed TRC values normally ranged between 300 /2g/1 to
500 µg1l. Be aware that a stream action level of 17 Mg/1 has been established for total residual
chlorine for chronic toxicity effects. An action level of 28 12g/1 has been set as the maximum
allowable effluent concentration to protect the receiving stream against acute toxicity effects. Please
maintain the total residual chlorine concentration as low as possible, while still complying the fecal
coliform limits.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Self -monitoring reports were reviewed for the period August 2000 through May 2001,
inclusive. No limit violations were reported. All monitoring frequencies were correct.
The cyanide, selenium, copper, silver, and zinc effluent samples were not collected in
conjunction with the toxicity sampling (for August 00) as required by the NPDES Permit. -Note:
The metal samples have been collected in conjunction with the toxicity sampling following
notification from the previous compliance evaluation inspection (8/24/00).
No effluent cyanide was reported for the week of August 27 through September 2, 2000. The
inspection verified that the sample was collected within the specified week and the value was not
transposed onto the DMR. An amended DMR will be resubmitted to the Division.
The temperature inside of the effluent composite sampler was above 4°C. The ORC
immediately adjusted the sampler's thermostat. The staff indicated that the refrigeration unit has had
problems maintaining the appropriate temperature during hot weather conditions. This office
recommends contacting the vendor if the problem persists. Please be advised that composite samples
must be maintained between 1 °C to 4.4°C while sampling occurs.
Algae was detected in the tubing of the composite sampler. The ORC indicated that the
tubing would be replaced immediately. The tubing should be always be inspected to prevent sample
contamination.
Composite samples are collected flow proportionately. All samples appeared to have been
collected and analyzed within the required holding times. The upstream and downstream sampling
locations are consistent with permit requirements.

FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Flow is measured by an ultrasonic flow meter with a totalizer and chart recorder. The flow
meter is calibrated twice per year by Robertson Controls, Inc. of Shelby, N.C. If the ORC and staff
begin calibrating the flow meter, then the date of calibration and the person who calibrated the flow
meter must be documented (at a minimum) and maintained for a period of three years. In addition,
the flow meter must be calibrated at a minimum of once per year.
SLUDGE DISPOSAL:
The sludge is composted at an on -site compost facility. The compost facility is operated
under the authority of Permit No. WQ0007780. The compost facility was well maintained and was
producing a good quality compost at the time of the inspection. The Non -Discharge permit was
issued on 3/31/98 and expires 2/28/03.
SEWER OVERFLOW:
Please be advised that pursuant to Part II, Section E of your NPDES permit, and North
Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection system,
pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion of
the wastewater shall be reported to the central office or the appropriate regional office (Mooresville
Regional Office 704-663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the
permittee became aware of the bypass. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours
may also be reported to the Division's Emergency Response personnel at 800-662-7956, 800-858-
0368, or 919-733-3300. A written report shall also be provided within five (5) days of the time of
the incident. The report shall contain a description of the bypass, and its cause; the period of the
bypass, including exact dates and times, and if the bypass has not been corrected, the anticipated time
it is expected to continue; and steps taken (or planned) to reduce, eliminate, and prevent recurrence
of the similar events. Any spill that reaches surface waters (i.e. any spill that reaches any water
already present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill greater than 1,000 gallons on the
ground that does not reach surface waters must be reported.
An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface waters should include an
evaluation downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a fish
kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen and
pH measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH measurements at
multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative impact. Failure to report
the bypass of collection system, pumping station or treatment facility subjects violators to penalties
of up to $25,000.00 per day per violation.
