Rowan County
A letter of request for Authorization to Construct was received October 20, 2006, by the
Division, and final plans and specifications for the subject project have been reviewed and found
to be satisfactory. Authorization is hereby granted for the construction of modifications to the
existing 0.011 MGD Wastewater Treatment Plant, with discharge of treated wastewater into
Little Creek in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin.
This authorization results in no increase in design or permitted capacity and is awarded
for the construction of the following specific modifications:
Installation of an effluent v-notch flow meter and recorder, and a 7,500-gallon
capacity flow equalization basin, complete with a 4-inch airlift pump, air diffuser
piping, and a 35 CFM blower, including piping, valves, vaults, electrical, controls,
and other appurtenances necessary to provide a complete system, in conformity
with the project plans, specifications, and other supporting data subsequently filed
and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of
NPDES Permit No. NCO034703 issued July 1, 2004, and shall be subject to revocation unless the
wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and limitations
specified in Permit No. NC0034703.
The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in accordance
with G.S. 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North Carolina Division of Water Quality.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as ma

Request for Additional Information
... General Comments
1. Provide three (3) complete bound sets of the final revised plans and specifications.
Review of Calculations
1. Buoyancy calculations show that the equalization basin has the potential for floatation. Address
this issue.
2. Provide calculations for aeration and mixing.
3. Provide calculations for all proposed pumps including dynamic head calculations.
4. Provide additional information for the existing blower system including operating curves and
calculations for the additional required load.
Review of Plans
1. Show the 100-yr flood elevation on the site plan.
2. With regards to sheet C2.01:
a) Consider providing two air lift pumps for the equalization basin.
b) A diffuser is shown in the alternate bid but is not included in the base drawings. Provide
additional information regarding achievement of adequate mixing and aeration in the
base bid.
c) Details C2 and A4 show a 4-inch effluent, while detail C4 shows a 3-inch effluent.
Resolve this conflict.
Page 1 of 2

3. With regards to sheet C2.02, provide a basis of design for the alternate bid and address the
following inconsistencies with the base bid:
a) The tank size shown for the alternate bid is significantly smaller than the calculations
provided and shown on sheet C2.01. Resolve this conflict.
b) The operating levels are different from those shown on sheet C2.01. Resolve this
conflict.
c) Two air lift pumps, a 6-inch and 4-inch are shown, while sheet C2.01 and the calculations
provided show one 4-inch air lift pump. Resolve this conflict.
d) A 4-inch influent, 4-inch overflow, and 3-inch effluent are shown, while sheets C1.01
and C2.01 show a 6-inch influent, 6-inch overflow, and 4-inch effluent. Resolve this
conflict.
Review of Specifications
Provide a clear description of the base bid and the alternate bid items.
2. Section 20421 requires a 45-degree "v" notch weir, while the plans and calculations show a
60-degree "v" notch weir. Resolve this conflict.
3. With regards to Section 20442:
a) The air diffusion system is not shown on the base -bid drawing sheet C2.01.
b) The specifications reference 6-inch, 4-inch and 3-inch pumps. The calculations
provided show only a 4-inch pump. No 3-inch pumps are shown on the plans.

Mr. Gleason:
On February 6, 2006 we had a fecal coliform reported value of >6000/100ml. The cause of this
excessive value was the OIT (myself) raked the beds to aggressively on February 5, 2006. The
problem was immediately diagnosed, discussed, and corrected. The following value reported for
February 15, 2006 was again returned to our goal of <1/100m1.

received on October 24, 2005, by the Division. Authorization is h ed for the
construction of modifications to the existing Knollwood Elementary School WWTP, with
discharge of treated wastewater into Little Creek in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin.
This authorization results in no increase in design or permitted capacity and is awarded
for the construction of the following specific modifications:
Installation of a tablet dechlorination system pursuant to the fast track application
received on October 24, 2005, and in conformity with the Minimum Design
Criteria for Dechlorination Facilities.
This Authorization to Construct is issued in accordance with Part III, Paragraph A of
NPDES Pell -nit No. NCO034703 issued May 1, 2005, and shall be subject to revocation unless
the wastewater treatment facilities are constructed in accordance with the conditions and
limitations specified in Permit No. NCO034703.
In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including those as may
be required by this Division, such as the construction of additional or replacement wastewater
treatment or disposal facilities.
The Mooresville Regional Office, telephone number [phone], shall be notified at

inspection can be made. Such notification to the regional supervisor shall be made during the
normal office hours from 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. on Monday through Friday, excluding State
Holidays.
Pursuant to 15A NCAC 2H .0140, upon completion of construction and prior to operation of
these permitted facilities, the completed Engineering Certification form attached to this permit shall be
submitted to the address provided on the form.
Upon classification of the facility by the Certification Commission, the Permittee shall
employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of the
wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the type and grade at least
equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by
the Certification Commission.
The Permittee must also employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and
grade to comply with the conditions of T15A:8G.0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each
Class I facility at least weekly and each Class Il, I11 and IV facility at least daily, excluding
weekends and holidays, must properly manage the facility, must document daily operation and
maintenance of the facility, and must comply with all other conditions of T15A:8G.0202.
A copy of the approved plans and specifications shall be maintained on file by the
Permittee for the life of the facility.
During the construction of the proposed additions/modifications, the permittee shall
continue to properly maintain and operate the existing wastewater treatment facilities at all times,
and in such a manner, as necessary to comply with the effluent limits specified in the NPDES
Permit.
You are reminded that it is mandatory for the project to be constructed in accordance
with the North Carolina Sedimentation Pollution Control Act, and, when applicable, the North
Carolina Dam Safety Act. In addition, the specifications must clearly state what the contractor's
responsibilities shall be in complying with these Acts.
Failure to abide by the requirements contained in this Authorization to Construct may
subject the Permittee to an enforcement action by the Division of Water Quality in accordance
with North Carolina General Statute 143-215.6A to 143-215.6C.
The issuance of this Authorization to Construct does not preclude the Permittee from
complying with any and all statutes, rules, regulations, or ordinances which may be imposed by
other government agencies (local, state, and federal) which have jurisdiction.

The cause of the excessive spike in fecal coliform was due to maintenance scheduling on the
filter bed. Sludge was removed from the filter bed February 8, 2005. The media in the filter bed
was thoroughly disrupted and did not have a chance to settle for sufficient filtration. This was a
case of poor planning on my part. The removal of the sludge should have been scheduled for
that Friday. Being a school, there is no effluent for two (2) days and would have given the media
time to settle for proper filtration. I am confident this should not happen again.
