Dear Mr. Basinger: Statesville Auto Auction appreciates the opportunity to respond to the findings related to the Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted by Wes Bell on August 30th, 2017. It is our hope that you will find these responses satisfactory. Statesville Auto Auction is committed to improving the overall operation and condition of the wastewater treatment plant. In response to the maintenance issues noted in the "Aeration Section" are as follows: -It was noted that some of the air diffusers were not functioning. On 9/7/17 the aeration system was pumped out, diffusers and piping unclogged, washed out, and is now operating normally. -#2 Blower Check valve was found to be faulty. On 10/6/17 the check valve was replaced with a new one. -It was noted that according to the dates hand written on the Blower guards that the annual service was overdue. However, after review with staff, it was found that both blowers had been serviced in July, 2017. The staff had stopped writing service dates on the equipment and began keeping record of it on a "service board" in the maintenance office. -It was found that the grating on both the aeration and clarifier was inadequate. Statesville Auto Auction and Envirolink staff are currently working together on layout and materials for the new grating. Once this is approved, Statesville Auto Auction will purchase the material and begin replacing the grating. 2 If I can be of any further assistance or additional information is needed, please do not hesitate to contact me.

JAY ZIMMERMAN ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY Director August 25, 2016 RECEIVED/NCDENR/DWR AUG 29 2016 Joey Hughes Manheim Statesville WQROS MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE PO Box 749 Statesville, NC 28687-0749 Subject: NPDES Electronic Reporting Requirements Manheim Stateville Auto Auction NPDES Permit Number: NC0076333 Dear NPDES Permittee: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency(EPA) recently published the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule.The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to report information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports.The rule does not change what information is required from facilities. It only changes the method by which information is provided (i.e., electronic rather than paper-based). EPA is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5-year period. The two phases of the rule, and their key milestones, are: • Phase 1—Starting on December 21,2016,regulated entities that are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) will begin submitting these reports electronically. If you are currently reporting your DMR data electronically using eDMR,then you simply need to continue reporting in the same way as you are now. The key change is that, starting on December 21, 2016, electronic reporting of DMRs will be required, instead of voluntary. • Phase 2—Starting on December 21,2020, regulated entities that are required to submit certain other NPDES reports will begin submitting these reports electronically. Reports covered in the second phase include Notices of Intent to discharge in compliance with an NPDES general permit, Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports, and a number of other NPDES program reports. Incorporating Electronic Reporting Requirements into NPDES Permits The NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule requires authorized NPDES programs to incorporate electronic reporting requirements into NPDES permits beginning December 21, 2015. Under the new rule, the electronic reporting process supersedes the paper reporting process. According to our files,your NPDES permit became effective after November 2013, and should contain the requirement to electronically report your Discharge Monitoring Reports using NC DWR's eDMR system. In addition to requiring permittees to report information electronically, the rule also requires permittees to identify the initial recipient for the NPDES electronic reporting data [see 40 CFR 122.41(1)(9)]. Initial State of North Carolina Environmental Quality I Water Resources 1617 Mail Service Center j Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617 919 807 6300 recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities(initial recipient) means the entity(EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program)that is the designated entity for receiving electronic NPDES Data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)]. Permittees are required to electronically submit the required NPDES information to the appropriate initial recipient, as determined by EPA. By July 18, 2016, EPA must identify and publish on its web site and in the Federal Register a listing of initial recipients by state and by NPDES data group. Once available,you can use EPA's web site to find out or determine the initial recipient of your electronic submission. NC DWR has submitted a request to EPA to be the initial recipient for the following NPDES data groups: 1. Discharge Monitoring Reports; 2. General Permit Reports [Notices of Intent to discharge (NOIs); Notices of Termination (NOTs)]; 3. Pretreatment Program Reports; and 4. Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports EPA's web site will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each type of electronic submission for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well. For more information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule,visit http://www2.epa.gov/complianceJfinal-national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-npdes- electronic-reporting-rule.

The N.C.Department of Transportation is planning on building a new $13 million,5,000-square-foot rest stop/service area in the median of the Related Images interstate just south of Exit 59(Tomlin Mill Road).The new facility is in the design phase. Statesville officials have decided to enlarge the city's sewer system to service the new facility and other future customers. "This is a tremendous opportunity for the city,"said Mayor Pro Tem Mike Johnson,who joined with his colleagues March 3 in unanimously approving plans to enlarge the sewers serving that area. According to spokeswoman Nancy Davis,the city will provide construction supervision and assistance in getting sewer easements, while DOT will pay for the sewer line it needs. "Then the city will oversize that line for future needs at a cost of between$100,000 and$125,000,"Davis said."That's all we will pay." The city's tentative plan is to build a pump station at the end of Mitchell Farm Road and run a forced main for almost 2 miles parallel to I-77.It will feed into a proposed pump station on the Auto Auction Property on U.S.21. "Many people believe that growth will come to this area,and we believe this will put the city in a position to provide additional sewer services in the years ahead as the area grows,"said Mayor Costi Kutteh. DOT spokeswoman Jordan A.Baker said the new rest area will replace four existing ones:two(one each aside the northbound and southbound lanes)north of mile marker 36 and two at the Iredell/Yadkin county line. "We chose the median location because the land at that location is best suited for a rest area between lanes,not off to the side," Baker said."In addition,rather than spending an additional$1 million to purchase the needed right-of-way,all the land is already owned by the DOT." The new rest area will be the first in the state where motorists directly access a site in between lanes of travel,rather than off to the side.It will feature dual men's and women's restrooms,family restrooms,vending services and a picnic area. Large car and truck parking lots on both northbound and southbound sides will also be provided. Baker said DOT is working with a contract architect for the design of the building and expects construction to begin in April 2015. It should take about 18 months to complete.

Aerobic Digester Comment: The wall between the aeration basin and the digester has questionable structural integrity. After the digester is pumped out it appears to refill with liquids from the aeration basin,which increases sludge hauling costs as well as causing operational problems through wasting inefficiency. Please investigate the structural integrity of the digester as soon as possible. Response: With the assistance of Statesville Analytical we pumped down the digester today,Thursday April 14t. It was determined that the divider panel was structurally sound. Upon conferring with Jerry Rogers(Statesville Analytical) we concluded that the level in the digester at time of inspection could have been caused by either a splash over effect from the aeration basin as a result of excessive aeration at high levels or a valve that could have been inadvertently opened causing the transfer of liquids. We will continue to monitor both scenarios to assure that either does not occur in the future. Aeration Basins Comment: Half of the diffusers and one of the blowers were inoperable at the time of the inspection. These should be repaired immediately to ensure adequate treatment of the waster water. Response: We have replaced the 5 faulty diffusers. The remaining 5 have been preassembled and will be replaced by the end of April. Two of the air blowers have been replaced and all others have been serviced. Flow Measurement—Effluent Comment: The Flow meter was last calibrated by Thurman Horne on 7/08/2010. The time on the meter was off by 2 hours. The cause of this discrepancy should be investigated. Response: We believe the two hour indifference was due to a previous storm. The time has been reset on the flow meter and is working correctly. We have also installed a new roll of read outaper. ::: *' General Manager Manheim Statesville 416„ .A NCDENR F I L North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality Beverly Eaves Perdue Coleen H.

General Statute 143-215.1(a)(6) and NPDES Permit No. NC0076333 Manheim's Statesville Auto Auction WWTP Iredell County • Case No. LV-2006-0165 • Dear Mr. Estep: This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $328.95 ($250.00 civil penalty+ $78.95 enforcement costs) against Manheim's Statesville Auto Auction. This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the self-monitoring data from March 2006. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations and monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit No. NC0076333. The violations are summarized in Attachment A to this letter. Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Manheim's Statesville Auto Auction violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit No. NC0076333 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, Surface Water Protection Regional Supervisor for the Mooresville Region,hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against Manheim's Statesville Auto Auction: ,5A Na" Carolina Naturally NCDENR Mooresville Regional Office Division of Water Quality Phone 704-663-1699 Customer Service Internet: www.ncwaterauality.org 610 East Center Ave,Suite 301 Mooresville,NC 28115 Fax 704-663-6040 1-877-623-6748 An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer—50%Recycled/10%Post Consumer Paper $ 250.00 For 1 of the one (1)violation of G.S. 143- 215.1(a)(6)and NPDES Permit No. NC0076333, by discharging waste into the waters of the State in violation of the permit monthly average effluent limit for flow. $ 250.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY $ 78.95 Enforcement costs. $ 328.95 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 OR 2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for such request: Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors shall be considered: (1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B- 282.1(b)were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner; (2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation; (3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident; (4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations; or (5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions. Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your remission request. The response will provide details regarding case status, directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission. In order to request remission,you must complete and submit the enclosed "Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form within thirty(30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed"Justification for Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address: Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit Division of Water Quality 1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617 OR 3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of Administrative Hearings: If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you must file a petition for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition form from the Office of Administrative Hearings. You must file the petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty(30) days of receipt of this notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of Administrative Hearings during normal office hours.

Please be advised that additional penalties may be assessed for violations that occur after the review period of this assessment. If the violations are of a continuing nature, not related to operation and/or maintenance problems, and you anticipate remedial construction activities, then you may wish to consider applying for a Special Order by Consent.

There seem to be two items of concern, and which have been addressed and fixed. The first is the secondary clarifier, which has now been pumped. The second area of concern was the presence of solids on the creek bank,which we had removed immediately. I hope these remedies are satisfactory, as we work hard to make sure that our facilities are in the best shape and working order that they can be. Please do not hesitate to call me at 704-876-1111 with any questions.

Rex Gleason 919 North Main St. Mooresville,NC 28115 Subject: Notice of Violation- Effluent Limitations Statesville Auto Auction WWTP NPDES Permit No. NC0076333 Iredell County Dear Mr. Gleason: Statesville Auto Auction received a Notice of Violation on a low pH level back on November 5, 2002. I have tried to contact the agent who was handling our treatment plant back at that time, Overcash Environmental Services, to see what had happened, and why there was no explanation on the back of the DMR sheet explaining it. I have had no response from Overcash, and therefore cannot give an exact reason for the violation. I have looked back at all of the monthly DMR sheets that we have had since that time, and we have not had a reoccurrence. I have also talked with the current agent who has handled our plant since January of 2003, Statesville Analytical, and they have had to work hard to keep the pH level under the limit, and had absolutely no problem with it being too low. Also, we are in the process of upgrading our plant,which should be finished by the end of April, according to Gilbert Engineering. I sincerely hope this will take care of the problem, and I thank you for your time.

The discharge from the Statesville Auto Auction wastewater facility is received into Fifth Creek, Class C water in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin. II. Compliance Performance: The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) regulates the Statesville Auto Auctions effluent discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The NCDENR issued to Statesville Auto Auctions a NPDES Permit that includes water quality limits and sampling and monitoring requirements. The NPDES permits requires Statesville Auto Auction to test for routine wastewater parameters of the treated water leaving the wastewater facility. The monitoring frequency for these tests is set at various intervals as set forth in the permit. During the year 2003, the number of test conducted met required testing except for the Oil & Grease was short one due to lab accident.

HERMIT: The facility description does not adequately describe the facility. The Division issued an ATC on 1/8/03 consisting of an additional package type treatment plant(equalization tank, aeration basin, and clarifier) and an additional chlorine contact chamber. In addition, the ATC stipulated that the effluent limitations associated with the 0.012 MGD flow has been deactivated and compliance/enforcement assessments would be based on the 0.025 MGD flow. RECORDS AND REPORTS: Records and reports consisting of DMRs, chain of custody forms, laboratory analyses, Operator-in-Responsible Charge(ORC)visitation log, daily operation and maintenance logs, process control data, and the calibration log were reviewed during the inspection. The records were organized and well maintained. FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE: The contract services of Statesville Analytical, Inc. assumed the duties as ORC on 1/6/03. The construction/installation of the new package treatment plant(aeration basin and clarifier) and chlorine contact chamber is complete. This treatment system was constructed to expand the facility's equalization capacity during high influent flow periods; however,this treatment system has the capability to be utilized as a parallel train. The additional chlorine contact chamber is currently not being incorporated into the disinfection process. This office commends the • upgrades incorporated by the facility. The treatment facility appeared to be adequately treating the wastewater and was well maintained. A check valve for one of the blower/motor units was not operating properly. The facility staff indicated that the check valve would be repaired/replaced. The mixed liquor suspended solids appeared to be well mixed and adequately oxygenated. Bar screenings are disposed at the county landfill. The process control program includes dissolved oxygen and settleability tests. Sludge wasting is based on the settleability tests. The ORC and staff were very knowledgeable of the treatment processes and equipment used at the facility. The facility is appropriately staffed with certified operators. The additional package treatment facility only had one grate(without railing) for maintenance on both blowers/motors. In addition,both ends (at the digester and clarifier) of the original treatment train did not have the appropriate railing. All railing and grating should be installed and secured to insure the safety of the operators and inspectors. Please be advised that the NPDES Permit requires that the facility be properly operated and maintained at all times. In addition, Subpart D, 1910.23(c), of 29 CFR Part 1910,which contains the Occupational Safety and Health Standards for General Industry, specifies that"Every open-sided floor or platform 4 feet or more above adjacent floor or ground level shall be guarded by standard railing..."The facility staff indicated that appropriate grating and railing would be installed within the near future. LABORATORY: Statesville Analytical (Certification#440) in Statesville,N.C. has been contracted to provide analytical support. The laboratory was not evaluated during this inspection. All on-site field analyses are performed under the certified laboratory's (Statesville Analytical)certification. All laboratory instrumentation utilized for field analyses appeared to be properly calibrated and maintained. EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS: The effluent was clear with no floatable solids or foam. The receiving stream did not appear to be negatively impacted at the time of the inspection. The discharge outfall was accessible at the time of the inspection. SELF-MONITORING PROGRAM: Self-monitoring reports were reviewed for the period November 2002 through October 2003, inclusive. The contract operations of Statesville Analytical assumed the duties as ORC on 1/6/03. A pH minimum violation was reported on 11/5/02. An effluent daily maximum TSR violation was reported on 6/18/03. Note: The Division has separately addressed these limit violations. The flow was not recorded on the weekends throughout the review period and also on 11/30/02 and 1/1/03 - 1/3/03. Please be advised that the Permit requires continuous flow measurement(including weekends). Only one TRC value was reported for the weeks of 12/30/02 - 1/3/03 and 4/14 -4/18/03. In addition,the facility was not visited(according to the January 2003 DMR)by the ORC and/or back-up ORC on 1/2/03 -1/3/03 as required by the Permit. Please resubmit amended DMRs if any of the above noted discrepancies were transcription errors. No effluent BOD, TSR, ammonia, fecal coliform, MBAS, and oil&grease were reported for the week of 4/21 -4/25/03. The inspection verified that all of the above noted parameters were collected and analyzed; therefore, an amended DMR will be resubmitted. All reviewed analyses appeared to be collected and analyzed within the required holding times. The effluent sampling location was consistent with permit requirements. FLOW MEASUREMENT: The effluent is measured continuously by a cable type flow meter with totalizer and strip chart recording. The flow meter is calibrated annually.by B.W. Allen in Charlotte,N.C. The flow meter was last calibrated on 1/9/03. SLUDGE DISPOSAL: Sludge was last removed by Lentz Septic Tank Service, Inc. tle�S W Michael F.Easley, ernor \0 O(� William G.Ross Jr.,Secretary tf fjj r North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources >_ =� Alan W.Klimek,P.E.,Director O T Division of Water Quality Coleen H.Sullins,Deputy Director Division of Water Quality September 8,2003 CERTIFIED MAIL RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED 7001 2510 0004 8287 5978 Mr.Gary Edwards,General Manager Manheim's Statesville Auto Auction P.O.Box 749 Statesville,NC 28687 Subject: Notice of Violation-Effluent Limitations Statesville Auto Auction WWTP NPDES Permit No.NC0076333 NOV-2003-LV-0139 Iredell County Dear Mr. Edwards: A review of the June 2003 self-monitoring report for the subject facility revealed a violation of the following parameter: Pipe Parameter Reported Value Limit 001 Total Suspended Residue 46 mg/L 45.0 mg/L FIN Remedial actions,if not already implemented,should be taken to correct any problems.

As noted in that letter I was unable to get in touch with Overcash Environmental Services to try and find out some answers. Mr. Overcash has called ma back since then, he was hospitalized at the time I called. He has issued an amended DMR sheet for the month of November 2002. He says that they made a clerical mistake on that sheet pertaining to the pH level for the fourth of that month; it should have been 6.9, not 5.9. He has sent an amendment to the state and sent me a copy, of which I will include a copy for your records. I thank you for your time in clearing this problem up.

I have looked back at all of the monthly DMR sheets that we have had since that time, and we have not had a reoccurrence.

General Statute 143-215.1(a)(6)and NPDES Permit No. NC0076333 Statesville Auto Auction WWTP Case No. LV 03-119 Iredell County Dear Mr. Edwards: 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 Manheim's Statesville Auto Auction. This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the discharge monitoring report(DMR) submitted by Manheim's Statesville Auto Auction for the month of August 2002. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations found in NPDES Permit No. NC0076333. The violations are summarized in Attachment A to this letter. Based upon the above facts,I conclude as a matter of law that Manheim's Statesville Auto Auction violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit No. NC0076333 and North Carolina General Statute(G:S.) 143-215.1(ax6)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, L D. Rex Gleason,Water Quality Regional Supervisor for the Mooresville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against Manheim's Statesville Auto Auction: ATA ,:HNR Customer Service Mooresville Regional Office,919 North Main Street,Mooresville,NC 28115 PHONE (704)663-1699 1 800 623-7748 FAX (704) 663-6040 $ 2-f o, For / of the one(1)violation of G.S. 143- 215.1(a)(6)and NPDES Permit No. NC0076333,by discharging waste into the waters of the State in violation of the permit daily maximum effluent limit for Fecal Coliform. $ S 6 , TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY $ 85.45 Enforcement costs. $ 33 S. = 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 Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review the information during a bimonthly enforcement conference and inform you of his decision in the matter of the remission request. His response will provide details regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director and therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission. OR 3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing: If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to the Office of Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes. You must: • File your original petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings 6714 Mail Service Center Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1601 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 thirty days, as evidenced by a date stamp(not a postmark)indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter being referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the penalty. Please be advised that 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 Office at 704/663-1699. f (Date) D. Rex ason, P.E.

Dear Mr. Edwards: Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report for the inspection conducted at the subject facility on January 3,2003 by Mr. Wes Bell of this Office. Please inform the facility's Operator-in-Responsible Charge(ORC)of our findings by forwarding a copy of the enclosed report to him. This report is being issued as a Notice of Violation (NOV)because of the limit violations(that have not been previously cited by NOV and/or assessed a civil penalty),the numerous monitoring violations, and the facility's failure to provide the appropriate records and reports of the subject NPDES Permit and North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 as detailed in the Records/Reports and Self- Monitoring Sections of the attached report. Pursuant to NCGS 143-215.6A,a civil penalty of not more than twenty-five thousand dollars($25,000.00)may be assessed against any person who violates or fails to act in accordance with the terms, conditions,or requirements of any permit issued pursuant to NCGS 143- 215.1. The previous contract operations firm(prior to 1/6/03)was unable to provide calibration records, documentation of on-site visitations,and records of daily operation&maintenance activities due to a vehicle fire. In addition,the previously employed contract operations firm only provided copies of completed DMRs to the permittee. Please be advised that the NPDES Permit and 15A North Carolina Administrative Code(NCAC)2B .0506(a)(1)(D)requires that the owner/permittee retain copies of all monitoring information, including: laboratory analyses(from certified and on-site labs),calibration data and chain of custody forms; and all maintenance activities,including: process control data,strip chart recordings, and sludge removal data. At the time of the inspection,the permittee had no knowledge of the facility's noncompliant status. Please be advised that it is the permittee's overall responsibility to ensure that the facility is being properly operated and maintained and that all appropriate records are being maintained. If monitoring data can be obtained regarding the monitoring violations noted in the inspection report,then the data must be submitted to this office for review/confirmation. The permittee may resubmit amended DMRs only after prior approval is given by this office. tJ:DENR Customer Service Mooresville Regional Office,919 North Main Street,Mooresville,NC 28115 PHONE (704)663-1699 1 800 623-7748 FAX (704) 663-6040 Mr. Gary Edwards Notice of Violation Page Two In addition,there were several operation and maintenance concerns noted in the inspection report.

RECORDS/REPORTS: No records/reports were reviewed due to the previous contract operations firm (as of 1/6/03) had lost all visitation/daily operation & maintenance logs and calibration data in a vehicle fire. FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE: The mixed liquor appeared dark brown; however, the mixed liquor appeared to be adequately oxygenated and well mixed. Solids were observed entering the clarifier's effluent. It was unclear if all of the blowers were operational and all filters were adequately maintained. The sleeves that contain the chlorination and dechlorination tablets had no cover/lids and a drop cord was observed extending across the aeration basin (safety concern) . The permittee has hired Statesville Analytical (staffed with appropriately certified operators) to assume the operatonal duties of this system au of 1/6/03. LABORATORY: Statesville Analytical (Certification #440) in Statesville, N.C. has been contracted to provide analytical support. The recently hired wastewater operatons staff perform field analyses under the laboratory's certification. The current contract operations firm is equipped with an appropriate TRC meter capable of analyzing at or below the 28 ug/1 limit. SELF-MONITORING PROGRAM: Self-monitoring reports were reviewed for the period November 2001 through October 2002, inclusive. Twc TS- daily maximum, violations (DMV) and a TSR monthly average violation (MAV) were reported for November 2001. Two fecal coliform DMVs were reported for November and December 2001 (four total) and one fecal coliform DMV was reported in August, September, and October 2002 (three total) . A pH minimum violation was reported on 3/28/02. Note: Although this appears to be a transcription error, no documentation was provided to prove otherwise. A DMV oil & grease violation and an oil & grease MAV were reported for April 2002. Thirteen TRC DMVs were reported in June 2002. A MAV for flow was reported for October 2002. my one TRC violation was reported for the weeks of 10/28-11/3/C1 and 3/24-3/30/02. No pH, temperature, SOD, TSR, ammonia, fecal coliform, oil & grease, and M.BAS were reported for the week of 10/28-11/3/02. The flow was not reported on a continuous basis (includes weekends and holidays) for January, February, anc March 2002. A review of the April 2002 DMR and corresponding laboratory ana_yses revealed that an incorrect fecal coliform value was transcribed. The actual fecal value was >6,000 col./100m1s; however, >60 cot./100 mis. was reported. EFFLUENT/RECEIVING STREAM: The effluent appeared turbid with trace suspended solids and no foam. The receiving stream and outfall location was not evaluated. The effluent was analyzed on-site for TRC and pH at the time of the inspection. The values were <50 ug/1 (TRC) and 6.89 s.u. (pH) . FLOW MEASUREMENT: The effluent is measured continuously by a cable type flow meter with totalizer and strip chart chart recording. The flow meter was last calibrated on 1/14/02 by B.W. Allen in Charlotte, N.C. The chart recorder was not operational at the time of the inspection. SLUDGE DISPOSAL: Sludge is removed by Lentz Septic Tank Service and disposed at either the City of Mooresville WWTP or the City of Newton WWTP. (A)2i r\9.,Lat Vvl;A CN r 0 V.

Much of the information you request relative to the engineer certifications for the Authorizations- to-Construct is attached. If there are other items needed, contact Mr. Don Black 876-1111. He has the blueprints and attached specifications. • LABORATORY We are advised that an instrument capable of measuring at or below the 28 µg/I TRC limit must be utilized by July 1,2002 and will comply accordingly. SELF-MONITORING PROGRAM: Limit Violations: Violation: Daily maximum fecal coliform violations were reported on August 25 and August 30, 2000. Response:These violations occurred while Hydro Analytical was operating the facility for several months. They were brought in to analyze the facility and recommend and make modifications to make sure the plant was able to handle increased flow due to new construction. Violation: Daily maximum TRC violations were reported on ten occasions in January nine occasions in February, and nine occasions in March 2001. Response: These violations occurred due to the absence of a dechlor unit. The approval for the dechlor unit was applied for on May 5,2000 and was approved in November 2000. I was not aware of this until recently.After we were aware that SAA had exceeded the flow limits,the dechlor unit was installed. Violation: Daily maximum oil&grease violation was reported on January 18,2001. Response: Have no explanation. Suspect lab error since two of the facilities we operate had high readings in this area and subsequent tests have been less than 5. Violation: Daily maximum total suspended residue violations were reported on February 14 and February 28,2001. Response: These violations were due to heavy flow;wasted sludge several times. Violation: Monthly average fecal coliform violation for August 2000. Response: This is a repeat of the first violation listed above. Violation: Monthly average oil&grease violation for January 2001. Response: This is a repeat of the third violation listed above. Violation: Monthly average total suspended residue violation for February 2001. Response: This is a repeat of the fourth violation listed above. Monitoring Violations: Violation: Only one TRC value was reported for the week of April 2 through April 8,2000. Violation: No effluent temperature and pH were reported for the week of May 28 through June 3, 2000. Violation: No effluent total nitrogen and total phosphorus were reported for the second quarter of 2000. Violation: No flow was reported on September 30, December 30,and December 31,2000 and March 31,2001 Violation: No effluent MBAS and oil&grease were reported for the week of September 3 through September 9,2000. Response to above 5 violations: Oversight on the part of the operator mostly due to so many permit changes. One exception is the March 31,2001 report which has been AMENDED and attached. This report was clerical error. Violation: No effluent ammonia was reported for the weeks of January 7—13,January 21 —27, January 28—February 3, February 11 —17, February 25—March 3, March 11 —March 17,and March 25—March 31 2001. Response: ORC did not notice change on permit until the end of March. The ORC and permittee will insure that all sampling is conducted in accordance with the permit requirements. Violation: On September 23 and October 1,2000 the section of the DMR that indicates operator arrival time,time on site and if the ORC was on-site had not been completed. Response: These two days were weekend days and the operator was not on site. Amended reports are attached I hope this adequately responds to your concerns. The year 2000 was a year of turmoil; based on the fact that another company operated the facility for 2 months and many changes were occurring. The plant has been operating in compliance(other than the oversight of the operator) this year. The environment was not been negatively impacted due to any of these violations. Statesville Auto Auction, Hydro Analytical and Overcash Environmental Services have worked very hard to achieve compliance for the SAA plant.

Division of Environmental Management Post Office Box 29535 Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Re: Proposed Plant Improvements Statesville Auto Auction NPDES NC0O76333 Iredell County Dear Ms. McCaskill: On October 15, 1990, the Division issued an Authorization to Construct (copy enclosed) for new waste treatment facilities to serve the Statesville Auto Auction. The facilities were subsequently completed and placed into operation in the spring of 1992. As a consequence of variability in flows and low flow conditions compared to plant rated capacity, the plant has experienced some periodic NPDES non-compliance (NOV's). Statesville Auto Auction requested that we study the plant operational problems and provide recommendations for improvements. As a result of this work, several improvements to the plant are proposed including dualizing the existing aeration basin by installation of a baffle wall and aeration diffusers to allow the operator flexibility in handling low flow conditions.

Number: None AND NATURAL RESOURCES MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE Permittee: Statesville Auto Auction Permittee Address: (Internal Report copy to DWQ MRO) JAN 27 2003 Inspection Type: Field Parameter Inspection Date: January 3, 2003 .WATER QUALITY SECTION Inspector(s): Chet Whiting Local Contact Person(s): Mr. Ramon Garcia Medena (for Overcash Environmental) I. INTRODUCTION: The above named facility was inspected to verify compliance with 15A NCAC 2H .0800 for the analysis of environmental samples. II. OVERVIEW: The field parameter inspection was conducted in conjunction with a DWQ plant inspection performed by Mr. Wes Bell. III. DEFICIENCIES, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS: GENERAL REQUIREMENTS: 1. DEFICIENCY: The contract operation company was not certified to perform analysis of environmental samples as required in the North Carolina Administrative Code. A copy of the Field Parameter Certification Application was given to Mr. Medena for Overcash Environmental Services. Mr. Medena was instructed to have Mr. Overcash submit the completed application no later than Wednesday January 8, 2003. DOCUMENTATION: 2. DEFICIENCY: Mr. Medena informed Mr. Bell and myself that the documentation for the entire year was destroyed in a vehicle fire. It was also stated that equipment was destroyed in the fire. Mr. Medena stated that they were using back up equipment. When asked to produce the Chlorine meter it was stated that the unit was malfunctioning and was returned to the manufacturer for service. If any further action is indicated the data of the fire and the date the instrument was returned should be supplied by Overcash Environmental. F lith Overcash Environmental Services Audit 2 Since the documentation was destroyed it was not possible to gauge if Certification requirements were being met. REQUIREMENT: 15A NCAC 2H .0805 (g) (2) states " A record of instrument calibration where applicable, must be filed in an orderly manner so as to be readily available for inspection upon request." • COMMENT: All procedures for recording and maintaining documentation were unacceptable or unavailable for review. IV. CONCLUSION: At the moment Mr. Overcash is facing revocation of his Operators License. The company does not qualify for Field Parameter Certification based on supervisory requirements as a result of this revocation. The permittee was informed that they were in violation of their NPDES Permit which requires that this testing be performed by a certified laboratory. The permittee was also advised that they must assure that conditions of their permit are met. Any candidates for the contract should be asked to supply documentation verifying certification. Further the Operations Company should also supply performance documentation as well as copies of inspection reports and responses. Subsequently the permittee has changed operations companies. Mr. Overcash called this office to inquire if the application was still required, as this was the company's last operations contract. A written response will be sent to Mr. Overcash under separate cover.

GENERAL INFORMATION Facility Name: Statesville Auto Auction Waster Water Treatment Plant Owner: Statesville Auto Auction Contact: Gary "Cotton" Edwards Phone: (704) 876-1111 Fax: (704) 876-3900 NPDES Permit No. NC0076333 Operator (ORC) Mr. Jerry Rogers License No. 7752 (1/1 — 10/23/01) Backup Mr. Steve Overcash License No. 10267 (1/1 — 10/23/01) ORC Mr. Steve Overcash License No. 10267 (10/24— 12/31/01) Backup Mr. Ramon Garcia License No. 10230 (10/24— 12/31/01) The Statesville Auto Auction WWTP provides wastewater treatment of sewage from Statesville Auto Auction exclusively. The existing 0.012 MGD package Waste Water Treatment facility consists of bar screen, aerated equalization basin, aeration basin with diffused air, two clarifiers with sludge return, chlorine contact chamber with tablet chlorination, a dechlorination unit, and a flow meter located at Statesville Auto Auction, 145 Auction Lane, Statesville, NC. Discharge from the treatment works (via Outfall 001) into Fifth Creek, a Class C water in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin. PERFORMANCE Statesville Auto Auction operated during 2001 with several limit violations of its National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit requirements. In January, February and March 2001 the TRC level in the plant was above permit requirements. This led to the installation of a dechlorination unit which has eliminated the problem. In January the facility was non-compliant due to a high oil and grease count. Subsequent oil and grease tests have been compliant. Daily total suspended residue violations occurred in February. This was due to heavy flow and the sludge had to be pumped several times. Appropriate actions were taken to deal with the above limit violations and to improve the daily monitoring of the plant. There was no noticeable affect on the receiving stream due to the limit violations. There was a compliance inspection by the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality in May of 2001 which uncovered no deficiencies in treatment operation. However the inspection did uncover that the flow meter was not working properly and it has been calibrated and marking pens replaced. Maintenance of the plant was normal and did not result in any disruption of service during this period. Several repairs were made to the plant: The plant was painted, safety railings were constructed and a dechlorination unit was added to the plant. In addition, screens were constructed around the pump to reduce clogging and the flow meter was calibrated. Routine maintenance will continue to be performed as needed. REGULATORY The current operating permit expires on March 31, 2004. Statesville Auto Auction continues to be concerned with the quality of the water in our area and continues to strive to do everything possible to contribute to that water quality. NOTIFICATION Statesville Auto Auction's wastewater customers will be notified and supplied with this report by posting the report and having it available in the on-site business office.

This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Manheim's Statesville Auto Auction for the month of April 2002. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations found in NPDES Permit No.NC0076333. The violations are summarized in Attachment A to this letter. Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Manheim's Statesville Auto Auction violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit No.NC0076333 and North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A.

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).

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 Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review the information during a bimonthly enforcement conference and inform you of his decision in the matter of the remission request. His response will provide details regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director and therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission. OR 3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing: If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to the Office of Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes. You must: File your original petition with the Office of Administrative Hearings 6714 Mail Service Center Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-6714 and Mail or hand-deliver a copy of the petition to 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 thirty days, as evidenced by a date stamp (not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter being referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the penalty. Please be advised that any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new enforcement action, including an additional penalty.

This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations found in NPDES Permit No.NC0076333. The violations are summarized in Attachment A to this letter. Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Manheim's Statesville Auto Auction violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit No.NC0076333 and North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A.

TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY $ 85.45 Enforcement costs. 'S. 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).

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 Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission must be submitted in writing.

His response will provide details regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director and therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission. OR 3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing: If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an administrative hearing.

PERMIT: The existing wastewater treatment system consists of a bar screen,aerated equalization basin, aeration basin with diffused air, two clarifiers with sludge return, chlorine contact chamber with tablet chlorination, and a flow meter. The permit for this facility became effective on 3/1/00 and expires on 3/31/04. The permit states that the facility may be expanded to a permitted flow capacity of 0.025 MGD once the facility had received an Authorization to Construct(ATC)from the Division. The permit stipulates effluent limitations and monitoring frequencies for both 0.012 MGD and 0.025 MGD following expansion. As of 1/1/01, the facility has been operating under the requirements of the 0.025 MGD permitted flow. The Division does not have on file the engineer certifications for the ATCs dated 10/15/90 (initial construction), 11/12/93 (WWTP upgrades), and 11/3/00 (installation of a dechlorination unit). RECORDS AND REPORTS: The Operator-in-Responsible Charge(ORC)/daily operation and maintenance log, process control data, and the calibration log were reviewed during the inspection. The records were well maintained and no deficiencies were found. FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE: At the time of inspection the facility appeared to be well maintained and the treatment units were operating properly. Both aeration basins are currently being utilized due to an increase in flow. The mixed liquor suspended solids appeared to be well mixed and adequately oxygenated. Bar screenings are disposed at the county landfill. A process control program consists of settleability tests. Sludge wasting is based on the settleability tests. The ORC was very knowledgeable of the treatment processes and equipment used at the facility. Safety railing was in the process of being installed at this facility. The WWTP had recently been painted. The increase in flows were attributed to the construction of a new refurbishing building at the business site. A dechlorination unit (tablet type) had been installed and put in operation during the week of May 13 through May 19, 2001. Note: The Division issued an ATC on 11/3/00 for the installation of the tablet type dechlorination unit. The facility is staffed with one Grade II ORC. A certified back-up operator has been designated and is available when the ORC is unable to visit the facility. LABORATORY: Statesville Analytical (Certification#440)in Statesville,N.C. has been contracted to provide analytical support. The laboratory was not evaluated during this inspection. Laboratory certification exemption was granted by the Division's Laboratory Certification Unit for pH and TRC on 9/24/97. The pH meter and the thermometer appeared to be properly calibrated. , _=s Statesville Auto Auction WWTP Page Three LABORATORY cont'd: The facility's permit stipulates a 28 µg/1 TRC limit at a permitted flow of 0.025 MGD. The instrument currently used to analyze TRC measurements is not capable of measuring at or below 28 ug/1. Please be advised that an instrument capable of measuring at or below the 28 µg/1 TRC limit must be utilized by July 1, 2002, as stated in the Division's guidance dated 3/8/01. The facility's ORC has been given a copy of the Division's guidance for future reference. EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS: The effluent was slightly turbid(milky color)with trace suspended solids and no foam. The facility discharges into Fifth Creek, which is a Class C water in the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin. The receiving stream did not appear to be negatively impacted at the time of the inspection. The discharge outfall was accessible at the time of the inspection.

Any time an operator or ORC visits the WWTP,the above noted information must be appropriately reported on the DMR. All on-site parameters appeared to have been collected and analyzed within the required holding times. Rating: Unsatisfactory (This section is rated unsatisfactory due to the numerous monitoring violations) FLOW MEASUREMENT: The effluent is measured continuously by a cable type flow meter with totalizer and strip chart recording. The flow meter is calibrated annually by B.W. Allen in Charlotte,N.C. The flow meter was last calibrated on 9/8/00. The flow chart currently recording flow data was greater than three hours behind the actual time and the flow meter's ink pen was not recording the flow data properly. Please be advised that the permit requires that the facility be properly operated and maintained at all times. In addition,the 15A North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 2B .0505(b)(1) and the permit requires all flow measuring devices shall be capable of measuring flows with a maximum deviation of less than 10% from true discharge volumes. SLUDGE DISPOSAL: Sludge is removed by Roberts Septic Tank Service of Maiden,N.C. and is disposed at the City of Newton WWTP in Catawba County,N.C. 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. . �s Statesville Auto Auction WWTP Page Five SEWER OVERFLOW cont'd: 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.
