Dear Mr.Trudnak:
This is to inform you that the Aquatic Toxicity Branch,ATB, has not received your toxicity self-monitoring report form for
the month of July 2019. This is in violation of Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code,Chapter 2,Subchapter
2B,Section .0506(a)(1)(A)which states that"monthly monitoring reports shall be filed no later than 30 days after the end
of the reporting period for which the report was made."
Information contained on your eDMR and gathered through correspondence with the Mooresville Regional Office
indicates that a toxicity test was not conducted during the month July 2019.
Please remember that reporting of toxicity self-monitoring data is a dual requirement. Toxicity test results must be
entered on your Discharge Monitoring Report and the Toxicity Reporting Form(AT Report Form) must be submitted to:
North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail Service Center

or emailed to [e-mail] within the required time frame. This information and the following statement
can be found in section A. (2.)of your permit:"Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity
monitoring is required,then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed."

WHOLE EFFLUENT TOXICITY MONITORING AND REPORTING INFORMATION
> The following items are provided in an effort to assist you with identifying critical and sometimes overlooked toxicity testing and reporting
information. Please take time to review this information.The items below do not address or include all the toxicity testing and
reporting requirements contained in your NPDES permit. If you should have any questions about your toxicity testing requirement,
please contact Ms.Susan Meadows with the Aquatic Toxicology Branch at(919)743-8439 or Ms.Cindy Moore at(919)743-8442.
> The permittee is responsible for ensuring that toxicity testing is conducted according to the permit requirement and that toxicity report
forms are appropriately filed.
> The reporting of whole effluent toxicity testing data is a dual requirement. All toxicity test results must be entered(with the appropriate
parameter code)on your monthly Discharge Monitoring Report which is submitted to:
North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,NC 27699-1617

or
Email to: [e-mail]
> Toxicity test results shall be filed with the Water Sciences Section no later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period(eg,
January test result is due by the end of February).
➢ Toxicity test condition language contained in your NPDES permit may require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of
any single quarterly toxicity test. If the initial pass/fail test fails or if the chronic value is lower than the permit limit,then at least two
multiple concentration toxicity tests(one per month)will be conducted over the following two months. As many analyses as can be
completed will be accepted. If your NPDES permit does not require use of multiple concentration toxicity testing upon failure of any
single quarterly test,you may choose to conduct either single concentration toxicity testing or multiple concentration toxicity testing per
the Division's WET enforcement initiatives effective July 1,1999. Follow-up multiple concentration toxicity testing will influence the
Division's enforcement response.
> Toxicity testing months are specified by the NPDES Permit,except for NPDES Permits which contain episodic toxicity monitoring
requirements(eg,if the testing months specified in your NPDES permit are March,June,September,and December,then toxicity testing
must be conducted during these months).
> If your NPDES Permit specifies episodic monitoring and your facility does not have a discharge from January 1-June 30,then you must
provide written notification to the Water Sciences Section by June 30 that a discharge did not occur during the first six months of the
calendar year.
> If you receive notification from your contract laboratory that a test was invalidated,you should immediately notify the Water Sciences
Section at(919)743-8439 and provide written documentation indicating why the test was invalidated and the date when follow-up
testing will occur.
> If your facility is required to conduct toxicity testing during a month in which no discharge occurs,you should complete the information
block located at the top of the AT form indicating the facility name,permit number,pipe number,county and the month/year of the
subject report. You should also write"No Flow"on the AT form,sign the form and submit following normal procedures.
➢ The Aquatic Toxicity Test forms shall be signed by the facility's Operator in Responsible Charge(ORC)except for facilities which have not
received a facility classification. In these cases,a duly authorized facility representative must sign the AT form. The AT form must also be
signed by the performing lab supervisor.
> To determine if your AT test forms were received on time by the Division of Water Resources,you may consider submitting your toxicity
test results certified mail,return receipt requested to the Water Sciences Section or email to the above address,receiving e-confirmation.

Ms.Suzie Meadows,
The Town of Dallas, N.C. is reporting the failure of their Chronic Toxicity for the month of
February,2019. We were notified by our contract lab of the failure on Monday, 11th of February
2019.We spoke with Annette McMurray,the City of Gastonia,who does our lab data and found
no other parameters were out of compliance for the week testing was conducted. February 4th-8th
2019.The only concern was the level of TSS in our influent which was four times higher than usual
flow concentrations. We have experienced illegal dumping to our sewer system in the past, and police
have been notified to monitor places of concern where that type of activity could be occurring.This is
the only conclusion we could come to, considering all indicators on effluent testing showed no signs of
disruption. Subsequent testing is scheduled for the months following this failure.
Any questions can be directed to me,Jon A. Page, ORC, Dallas WWTP. Contact phone#(727)277-

Bill Trudnak Ori,
On February 7th, 2018 the Dallas Waste water treatment plant experienced prolong flows
Electrical
J. Doug Huffman from rain that exceeded the design of the plant. Our charts can record to 2 MGD and the
water intake was above that for right at 8 hours. We took preventative measures of reducing
Police Chief aeration to help prevent washout of solids. Our solids reading for the day was 180 mg/l.
Gary Buckner Influent was 288 mg/1 so a short circuit was clearly evident. After investigation,it was
determined that the pipe from the emergency pump,pumps water three quarters way through
Planning treatment process. We had a meeting with Bill Trudnak and requested the pipe discharge be
David Kahler relocated to the front of the influent where influent is normally fed at. This should solve the
Fire Chief short circuit and allow the water to get full treatment before going to effluent. We regret this
Steve Lambert incident but use it as a learning tool to insure future events will not have the same outcome.
Any questions are welcomed.

Subject: NPDES Electronic Reporting Requirements
Dallas WTP
NPDES Permit Number: NC0082694
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 I Environmental Quality I Water Resources
1617 Mail Service Center I 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.

Public Works This letter is in response to the letter dated June 14th, 2016 from your office to the Town of
Bill Trudnak Dallas from a violation at the effluent sample location 001 dated 10/10/2015.
Electrical The plant had experienced some high results on fecal coliform during second week of October,
J. Doug Huffman 2015. Staff had contacted Eric Howie from Piedmont Chlorinator to come to the facility the previous
week to check the feed units. At that time it was thought that the sulfur dioxide had been problematic
Police Chief and it was checked by the company that represents our chemical feed units, both chlorine and sulfur
Allen Scott dioxide. Ken Nash was also called from KNC Controls and Automation. He was asked to check
accuracy of the flow signals to feed units,which he did and they were reading accurately.
Planning
The system is designed to increase and decrease chemical feed rates based on flow to the east and
west units. This is strictly flow based and not demand based, since there is no testing equipment to
Fire Chief anticipate demand. One of the items that was noted from the Piedmont Chlorinator visit was there
Steve Lambert are times that the Town has the need to go on the Gastonia Water Supply Feed. There could be drops
Recreation in pressure temporarily, until the system is completely charged all the way to the plant. In addition,
Anne Martin there could be more or less chlorine in the drive water depending upon which system the town is on
at the time. Mr. Howie, from Piedmont Chlorinator recommended that a booster pump could be

Dear Mr.Palenick:
Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the draft very
carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft
permit contains a number of changes in its terms from those found in your current permit. A summary
of those changes follows:
• A re-evaluation of flow within the stream receiving the discharge has been conducted. As a result,
instream waste concentration(IWC) associated with the discharge has been modified to 0.71%.
Accordingly,the concentration for the facility's toxicity testing requirement has also been modified
to 0.71%.
• A new condition requiring electronic reporting of data collected pursuant to the terms of this permit
has been added.
Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs)
and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals,then permittees
must submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA). The Division
anticipates that these regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation.
The requirement to begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's
Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report(eDMR)internet application has been added to your
NPDES permit. [See Condition A. (3.)] For information on eDMR,registering for eDMR and
obtaining an eDMR user account,please visit the following web page:

[15A NCAC 02B .0500 et seq.]
The permittee shall conduct quarterly chronic toxicity tests using test procedures outlined in the"North
Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure,"Revised December 2010,or subsequent
versions.
The effluent concentration defined as treatment two in the procedure document is 0.71 %. The testing
shall be performed as a Ceriodaphnia dubia 7-day pass/fail test. The tests will be performed during
the months of January,April,July and October. These months signify the first month of each three
month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must be
obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final
effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form(MR-1) for the month in which it was performed,using the parameter
code TGP3B. Additionally,DWR Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water Sciences Section no later than 30
days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual
chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for
disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required,the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity(AT)test
form indicating the facility name,permit number,pipe number, county, and the month/year of the
report with the notation of"No Flow"in the comment area of the form. The report shall be submitted

A.(3.) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF DISCHARGE MONITORING REPORTS
[G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
Proposed federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports(DMRs)
and specify that, if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals,then permittees must
submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency(EPA). The Division anticipates
that these regulations will be adopted and is beginning implementation in late 2013.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of this
permit(Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits):
• Section B.(11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E.(5.) Monitoring Reports
1. Reporting[Supersedes Section D.(2.)and Section E.(5.)(a)!
Beginning no later than 270 days from the effective date of this permit,the permittee shall begin
reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic Discharge
Monitoring Report(eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter
monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's
eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross-Media Electronic Reporting Regulation
(CROMERR),permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state
electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing,
signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the
following address:
NC DENR/DWR/Information Processing Unit
ATTENTION: Central Files/eDMR
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the
facility being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have
broadband access,then a temporary waiver from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements
may be granted and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1,
2, 3)or alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to
the mailing address above.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be
submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty(60)days prior to the date the
facility would be required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be
valid for twelve(12)months and shall thereupon expire. At such time,DMRs shall be submitted
electronically to the Division unless the permittee re-applies for and is granted a new temporary
waiver by the Division.

CIVIL PENALTY REMISSION FACTORS _
Case Number: MV-2010-0020 Region: Mooresville County: Gaston
Assessed Entity: Town of Dallas WTP Permit: NC0082694
(a) Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors were wrongly applied to the
detriment of the petitioner:
The facility states it erred in its original DMR submittal, omitting laboratory analyses for 4 parameters on

An amended DMR has been received. Values that were initially missing have been reported. The new
values depict compliant performance.
❑ (b) Whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation:
❑ (c) Whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident:

COUNTY OF GASTON DWQ Case Number MV-2011-0020
IN THE MATTER OF ASSESSMENT )
OF CIVIL PENALTIES AGAINST: ) REQUEST FOR ORAL PRESENTATION
Town of Dallas )
I hereby request to make an oral presentation before the Environmental Management Commission's Committee On Civil Penalty
Remissions in the matter of the case noted above. In making this request,I assert that I understand all of the following statements:
• This request will be reviewed by the Chairman of the Environmental Management Commission and may be either granted or
denied.
• Making a presentation will require the presence of myself and/or my representative during a Committee meeting held in Raleigh,
North Carolina.
• My presentation will be limited to discussion of issues and information submitted in my original remission request,and because
no factual issues are in dispute,my presentation will be limited to five(5)minutes in length.
The North Carolina State Bar's Authorized Practice of Law Committee has ruled that the appearance in a representative capacity at
quasi-judicial hearings or proceedings is limited to lawyers who are active members of the bar. Proceedings before the Committee on
Remissions are quasi-judicial. You should consider how you intend to present your case to the Committee in light of the State Bar's
opinion and whether anyone will be speaking in a representative capacity for you or a business or governmental entity. If you or your
representative would like to speak before the Committee,you must complete and return this form within thirty(30)days of receipt of
this letter.
Depending on your status as an individual,corporation,partnership or municipality,the State Bar's Opinion affects how you may
proceed with your oral presentation. See www.ncbar.com/ethics,Authorized Practice Advisory Opinion 2006-1 and 2007 Formal
Ethics Opinion 3.
• If you are an individual or business owner and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the Committee,
then you do not need legal representation before the Committee;however,if you intend on having another individual speak
on your behalf regarding the factual situations,such as an expert,engineer or consultant,then you must also be present at the
meeting in order to avoid violating the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized practice of law.
• If you are a corporation,partnership or municipality and are granted an opportunity to make an oral presentation before the
Committee,then your representative must consider the recent State Bar's Opinion and could be considered practicing law
without a license if he or she is not a licensed attorney. Presentation of facts by non-lawyers is permissible.
If you choose to request an oral presentation,please make sure that signatures on the previously submitted Remission Request form
and this Oral Presentation Request form are: 1) for individuals and business owners,your own signature and 2)for corporations,
partnerships and municipalities,signed by individuals who would not violate the State Bar's Opinion on the unauthorized practice of
law.
Also,be advised that the Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions may choose not to proceed with hearing your case if the Committee
is informed that a potential violation of the statute concerning the authorized practice of law has occurred.

Dear Mayor Coleman:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$235.06 ($150.00 civil penalty+$85.06 enforcement costs) against the Town of Dallas.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the self-

of the monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit No.NC0082694. The violations that

$ 235.06 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

Raleigh,NC 27699-1601
Please indicate the case number(as found on page one of this letter) on the petition.
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty(30) days of receipt of this notice, as
evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action.
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. If you have any questions about this civil penalty
assessment or a Special Order by Consent,please contact the Water Quality Section staff of the

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:

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
RECORDS/REPORTS SECTION cont'd:
The review of the self-monitoring data revealed transcription errors regarding the reported flow values
(October 2010, November 2010, and August 2010), aluminum values (August 2010 and November 2010),
and the toxicity test value not being reported on the September 2010 DMR. Amended September 2010
(toxicity value) and October 2010 (flow value correction) DMRs should be resubmitted to the Division.
LAGOONS SECTION cont'd:
The water level in the lagoon was high with less that one foot of available freeboard. A significant amount of
water was observed in the adjacent stormwater ditch. The ORC indicated that approximately 500 gallons of
wastewater had overflowed from the lagoon and into this stormwater ditch at approximately 9:00 AM on the
day of the inspection. The bypass was attributed to the facility staff not lowering the lagoon to a sufficient
level prior to the discharge of rewash water during the startup of the water treatment plant. Alum solids were
observed at the outlet of this stormwater drainage system (ponded area) located behind the pump building
and near the on-site generator. The stormwater from this ponded area discharges into an adjacent
property's drainage system prior to entering the South Fork Catawba River. Note: No discharges to the
adjacent property was observed during the inspection. The ORC and staff must collect and properly
dispose of any sludge that has accumulated in the stormwater drainage system.
Please be advised that the Permit prohibits this type of bypass and also requires the facility to be properly
operated and maintained at all times. This Office has received a completed Bypass Form (by the ORCO
within the specified time period (5 days from first knowledge).

staff must ensure to implement remedial actions to all areas affected from this sodium
hydroxide leakage to prevent any negative impacts to the stormwater runoff during
rainfall events. In addition, the facility staff must ensure that the washwater from the
cleaning/rinsing of floors (chemical feed buildings) is properly collected and disposed.

MEMORANDUM
TO: B. Sledge
FROM: R. Krebs
THROUGH: M. Allocco `-'
DATE: March 17, 2011
SUBJECT: Request for Remission of Civil Penalty Assessment
NPDES Permit Number NC0082694
Town of Dallas - Dallas WTP
Gaston County
Case Number MV-2010-0020
MRO staff has reviewed the subject request for remission. The permittee asserts in the remission
request that "one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner." Review of the remission request finds it was a
permittee reporting error that resulted in the assessment of MV-2010-0020 not wrongful application of
the civil penalty assessment factors.
The permittee submitted an amended June 2010 DMR, which included the missing total aluminum, total
residual chlorine, total iron, and total settleable solids values that were assessed in MV-2010-0020.
The Mooresville Regional Office supports full remission of the civil penalty of$150.00 but not the
$85.06 in costs to prepare the enforcement.

DWQ—CIVIL PENALTY REMISSION FACTORS
Case Number: MV-2010-0020 Region: Mooresville County: Gaston
Assessed Entity: Town of Dallas - Dallas WTP Permit: NC0082694
❑ (a) Whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner
The permittee was assessed $235.06 for monitoring violations of total aluminum, total residual chlorine, total
iron, and total settleable solids. The violations were assessed because the June 2010 DMR was missing this
data for the week ending June 26, 2010. The permittee admits that data was missing in the remission
request and submitted an amended DMR.
Since the violations did not occur as per the amended DMR (due to a permittee reporting error not wrongful
application of the civil penalty assessment factors) MRO supports full remission of the assessed penalty
($150.00) but not the cost to prepare the enforcement package ($85.06).

Dear Mayor Coleman:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$635.06 ($550.00 civil penalty+ $85.06 enforcement costs) against the Town of Dallas.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the self-
monitoring data reported for October 2010. This review has shown the subject facility to be in
violation of the monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit No. NC0082694. The violations
that occurred are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Town of Dallas violated the

Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with authority

$ 85.06 Enforcement costs.
$ 635.06 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

the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document.
Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(c), remission of a civil penalty may be granted only when one or
more of the following five factors applies. Please check each factor that you believe applies to your
case and provide a detailed explanation, including copies of supporting documents, as to why the
factor applies (attach additional pages as needed).
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed in the civil
penalty assessment document);
_ (b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation (i.e., explain the steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences);
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident (i.e., explain why the violation
was unavoidable or something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions (i.e., explain how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the activities
necessary to achieve compliance).

Dear Mayor Coleman:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of $235.37
($200.00 civil penalty+ $85.37 enforcement costs) against the Town of Dallas.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the self-monitoring

limitations found in NPDES Permit No.NC0082694. The violations are summarized in Attachment A to this

Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Town of Dallas violated the terms,

215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. A civil penalty may be assessed in accordance

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, Marcia Allocco, Acting Surface Water Protection Regional Supervisor for the

$ 285.37 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. The Office of Administrative Hearings accepts filings Monday through

Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty(30) days of receipt of this letter, as evidenced
by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter being referred to the Attorney
General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action.
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. If you have any questions about this civil penalty assessment or a
Special Order by Consent, please contact the Water Quality Section staff of the Mooresville Regional Office at

assessment document. Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(c), remission of a civil penalty may be granted only
when one or more of the following five factors applies. Please check each factor that you believe applies to
your case and provide a detailed explanation, including copies of supporting documents, as to why the factor
applies (attach additional pages as needed).
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were wrongfully
applied to the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed in the civil penalty assessment
document);
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the violation (i.e.,
explain the steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences);
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident (i.e., explain why the violation was
unavoidable or something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial actions
(i.e., explain how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the activities necessary to
achieve compliance).

NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY
Violator: Town of Dallas
Facility: Dallas WTP
County: Gaston
Case Number: LV-2010-0153
Permit Number: NC0082694
ASSESSMENT FACTORS
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;
No harm has been documented. Total residual chlorine may cause chronic toxic impacts to aquatic life
when discharged at concentrations above the 28 ug/1 permit limit(see below).
2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
On 2/13/10 the facility reported 85 ug/1 TRC (204% over the permit limit)and 2/19/10 the facility
reported 96 ug/1 (243% over the permit limit). The Division policy is to consider all discharge
concentrations equal to or above 50 ug/1 for compliance purposes. The discharge TRC concentration
exceeded the threshold of 50 ug/1 by 70% on 2/13/10 and by 92% on 2/19/10. Mr. Michael Hurt, ORC
of the facility, sent a letter claiming that magnesium interference caused false high test results. A
sample of sludge from the sludge storage basin was tested by Southern Soil Builders. The sludge
analysis resulted in a magnesium concentration of 873 ug/1. No sampling was done of the discharge,
and no comparative sampling was done to actually show TRC test interference. In additon, the facility
reported TRC concentrations of <10 ug/1 on 2/5/10 and 11 ug/1 on 2/23/10 which would demonstrate
that magnesium was not causing false high test results.
3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
No effect is expected on ground water or air quality or quantity. Toxic impacts on aquatic life in the
receiving stream would be predicted.
4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
The cost is unknown.
5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
A specific monetary savings is unknown. Permanent dechlorination facilities have not been installed at
the facility which would prevent TRC violations if properly operated.

6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
The violation does not appear to be willful or intentional.
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
No civil penalty assessments have been taken against the Town of Dallas WTP in the previous 12-
months.
8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Staff preparation of enforcement package: 1 hour at $32.54/hour

Dear Ms.Allocco,
This is a letter to summarize the ORC designation and all of the responses that have been given
to the NOV's listed in the letter dated April 10th 2008. The ORC Designation Form designating
Michael Hurt as the new ORC of the Waste Water PC1 Plant was faxed to Donna Hood on April 4th
and on May 15`h. We are currently in the process of designating a Backup ORC. Amelia Hamrick works
at the Water Treatment Plant and is already qualified to take the ORC exam. Once she passes the test,
we will fill out the ORC Backup Designation Form designating her as Back-up ORC.
In response to Record Keeping, due to the previous ORC's incomplete record keeping and the
ongoing State Investigation, some of our records were unable to be located at the time of inspection.
Since that time, the missing records have been recovered, accurately completed, &sent to the inspector,
Donna Hood, via fax& mail on June 4`h.
Regarding the dechlorination section, since Mr. Hurt has taken over the ORC position,
adjustments have been made to the pre-chlorination to reduce the chlorine residual levels.
Consequently,the readings have since been well below the state requirements. Mr. Hurt discussed the
dechlorination issue with Donna Hood in mid-April and again in June and it was agreed that as long as
levels continued to stay as low as they are that dechlorination would not be necessary.
Thank you for your patience in this matter as we are doing everything possible to remedy the
mistakes of a previous employee and ensure that our facility is in compliance with all state & federal
regulations.
Since ely,

Dear Mrs.Allocco,
This letter is to address the violations listed in the Compliance Inspection Letter dated November
17`h, 2006. In response to the deficiencies in the Record Keeping section of the Inspection report,we have
addressed the DMR calculations so that they no longer report monthly averages as"Less than"values as
requested by the state. This calculation is now performed according to the DMR Calculating Procedures given
by the inspector and the corrected amount is reflected on the November 2006 report.
Concerning the prior Limit Violation and the downstream sampling site mentioned in the
"Upstream/Downstream Sampling"section,there were several concerns over the site location of the
downstream sample. One concern is the distance from the effluent discharge and another was the possibility
of side stream discharges entering the water body prior to the sampling point. We have used this particular
location for sampling since around 1990. After the inspection,we began to search for another sample site, but
due to the terrain surrounding the riverbank, we have not been able to locate another suitable location. One
possible solution would be for us to run a turbidity test on the effluent to demonstrate to the state that we are
putting out a good quality effluent.
Under the Standby Power section of the inspection report,the inspector requested documentation for
a generator"under load"check and"fuel"check,which we did not have. While the Town of Dallas does run
the generators"under load"frequently, our SCDA system does not document each unit. Based on our current
SCDA system set-up, it is not possible to document this information. We currently have a service contract with
Kraft power for maintenance. We have requested that they run the units"under load"and document the results on
their service report.
Regarding the Laboratory section, please see the enclosed bench sheets. These bench sheets should
address the deficiencies mentioned in this section.
Concerning the excess vegetation mentioned under the"Drying Bed"section of the report;this is an
ongoing battle for the town. Vegetation is removed repeatedly, but it always comes back. As soon as weather
permits,we will clear the vegetation so that they will not interfere with the operation of the filter beds.
Should you have any questions, please contact George Hughes at 704-913-4315 or 704-922-1309
Sincerely,
A- ___ ti_L__

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
This office is concerned with the spill containment for the chemical storage area being directly
connected to the settling lagoon. The Town must provide the appropriate measures to ensure that all chemical
spills can be contained in the secondary containment structure.
A 55-gallon drum of waste oil was observed adjacent to the secondary containment structure for chemical
bulk storage area. The ground adjacent to the drum was stained with waste or used motor oil. The contaminated
soil must be removed and properly disposed. The affected area must also be restored back to the original
conditions prior to the discharge(s) . This office also recommends the removal of the drum and the proper
disposal of the drum's contents. Please be advised that the Town can be assessed penalties up to $5,000.00 per
violation, per day for the illegal discharge of used motor oil and the Town's failure to immediately cleanup
the spill and affected areas.

Description of Collection System or Treatment Process:
The Town of Dallas Wastewater treatment Plant consists of two 0.3 MGD process
trains with subsequent discharge to an unnamed tributary of Long Creek (Class C)
in the Catawba River Basin. The Unit processes include a manually cleaned bar
rack, a parshall flume for influent flow measurement flow, dual circular extended
aeration basins with integral clarifiers, post aeration, and sludge digesters. The
treated effluent is chlorinated then de-chlorinated prior to discharge. Digested
sludge is transported in liquid form, and co-mingled with the sludge at a
neighboring facility. Sand drying beds are also provided on site. The plant is
currently treating approximately 0.393 MGD.
II. Compliance Performance
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR) regulates the Town of Dallas effluent discharge under the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The NCDENR issued to the
Town a NPDES Permit, which includes water quality limits and sampling and
monitoring requirements. The NPDES Permit requires the Town to test more
than 13 different constituents in the treated water. The monitoring frequency for
these constituents are set at various intervals such as continuous, daily, weekly,
monthly, and quarterly. During the previous year, the Town conducted 1193
tests of the treated water before it was discharged to the creek. Following is a
summary of the testing for the parameters, which are assigned Water Quality
standards by the NPDED Permit. Please note the summary does not include
parameters, which incorporates a monitoring requirement only, nor does it
include daily process control testing.

Description of Collection System or Treatment Process:
The wastewater discharge from the Dallas Water Treatment Plant is generated by
the filter backwash operation. The filter backwash wastewater enters a sludge-
settling lagoon. The water settles and sludge concentrates at the bottom of the
lagoon. The effluent is discharged to Southfork Catawba River. The thickened
sludge is transferred via two 200 GPM sludge pumps to one of two sand drying
beds.
II. Compliance Performance
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR) regulates the Town of Dallas effluent discharge under the National
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The NCDENR issued to the
Town a NPDES Permit, which includes water quality limits and sampling and
monitoring requirements. The NPDES Permit requires the Town to test more
than 7 different constituents in the treated water. The monitoring frequency for
these constituents are set at various intervals such as continuous, daily, weekly,
monthly, and quarterly. During the previous year, the Town conducted 572 tests
of the treated water before it was discharged to the creek.

Subject: Town of Dallas WTP, NC0082694 Notice of Violation Response
•
.7. .�,;. 11)1:CTION
Dear Mr. Bridgeman:
This letter is in response to the Notice of Violation we received on the water treatment plant's Class I system.
The following is offered as an explanation of what has occured or the procedual changes to be enacted so
that the system can bring itself back into compliance.
Section: Facility Site Review/Operations & Maintenance
The walls of the drying beds will be resealed. The hole or outlet at the manhole upgradient of
the alum settling basin will also be sealed. The repaires should be completed within two weeks.
Since the inspection by Mr. Bell, I have tryed to determine the cause of the eroded ground below
the outlet. As of this writing I have had no sucess in the cause.
However I have been able to determine that a discharge from the outlet is not ocurring when
we backwash, There is also not an apperance of sludge on the ground below the opening.
Section: Self-Monitoring
Concerning no flow reported yet effluent values were collected and analized. It had become
customary for us to discharge to the alum settling basin allow the solids to settle and then pump the super-
nate to the drying beds a day or two later, at which time we would sample. The flow was recorded on the day
we actually discharged to the alum settling basin, also we were using the backwash totalizer to give us the
amount of flow to the settling basin (see flow section of NOV).
This practice was stopped immediately after Mr. Bells inspection and we are now following his
recommendation under that section,this should elimate any confusion.
As too the monitoring deficiencies that were noted for the months June-Sept.. At that time
the towns plants were being ran by a contract co. " Hydro Management Services " . The town terminated their
contract with them on 12/18/02. At which time the town took over operations of their facilities. I myself can
offer no other explanations for these deficiencies other than what was stated on the DMR's.
I will resummit the DMR for May 2001 checking the correct compliance status.
The deficiencies concerning documention for TRC and Settleable Solids to verify compliance
were corrected immediately.
If you have any questions about this response or if I may be of any futher service, please call
me at 704 922-1309.

George Hughes

The facility was last inspected by Barry and Linda Love of this office on March 13, 2001.
PERMIT:
The permit authorizes the continued operation of a water treatment plant with a discharge of
filter backwash wastewater.
The permit became effective on 11/1/00 and expires on 7/31/05.
RECORDS AND REPORTS:
Records and reports consisting of monthly monitoring reports, chain of custody forms,
sample analysis reports, Operator-in-Responsible Charge (ORC) visitation log, and the calibration
log were reviewed at the time of the inspection. The records were organized and well maintained.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
The alum settling basin and sludge drying beds appeared to be operating properly at the tine
of the inspection. The surrounding grounds were well maintained. The walls along the both drying
beds appeared to have leaked during previous discharges. The walls of the drying beds should be
resealed to prevent future leakages. In addition, the NPDES Permit requires that the facility be
properly operated and maintained at all times. This office also requests clarification of the
appearance of a previous discharge from an outlet at the manhole upgradient of the alum settling
basin. The ORC or inspector could not determine the source or type of discharge; however, the
ground directly below this outlet was severely eroded.
LABORATORY:
Hydro Analytical Laboratories, Inc. (Certification # 103) of Clemmons, N.C. has been
contracted to provide analytical support. The lab was not evaluated during this inspection. The TRC
meter appeared to be properly calibrated.
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:
The effluent appeared clear with no floatable solids or foam at the time of the inspection.
The facility is permitted to discharge into the South Fork of the Catawba River,which is a WS-IV
CA water in the Catawba River Basin. The receiving stream was not evaluated.
SELF-MONITORING PROGRAM:
Self-monitoring reports were reviewed for the period February 2001 through December 2001,
inclusive. No limit violations were reported. On three occasions (March 15, May 9, and May 15),
no flow was reported;however,effluent values were collected and analyzed. Please be advised that
effluent samples shall be collected and analyzed only during discharge events. No settleable solids
were reported for the entire month of June(four violations)and for the weeks of July 1 through July
7, July 8 through July 14, and August 26 through September 1, 2001. No effluent iron, TRC, and
aluminum were reported for the week of August 26 through September 1, 2001.

Town of Dallas Water Treatment Plant
Page Three
SELF-MONITORING PROGRAM cont'd:
A"0.00" mg/1 was reported for TRC on 11/7/01. All values must be reported down to the
minimum detection limit of the determined on the meter.
The compliance status was not determined for May 2001. The ORC and permittee must
insure that all DMRs are accurate and complete before submittal to the Division. In addition,please
resubmit amended DMRs if any of the above noted discrepancies were transcription errors.
The analysis time for TRC was not documented to verify compliance with the 15-minute
holding time requirement as stipulated in 40 CFR 136.3 Table II. In addition,there was no sample
collection time and no start and end times for the settleable solids analysis (Reference: Standard
Methods, 18th Edition 2540 F).
The upstream and downstream sampling locations appeared to be consistent with permit
requirements.
Ratin : Unsatisfactory (This section is rated unsatisfactory due to the numerous monitoring
violations noted in this section)
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
The flow is currently measured by an in-line totalizer that measures the discharges from the
backwash filters. However, pumps are utilized to pump the supernate to the sand drying prior to
discharge. This office advises that a more accurate flow value would be determined by multiplying
the pump run-time by the pump rate from the pumps(that remove the supernate)in the settling basin.
In addition,the NPDES Permit requires that all samples collected and measurements taken shall be
characteristic of the volume and nature of the permitted discharge.
SLUDGE DISPOSAL:
The alum sludge is land applied by Southern Soil Builders of Roaring River,N.C. according
to Permit No. WQ0018688.

The facility was last inspected by Barry and Linda Love of this office on March 13, 2001.
PERMIT:
The permit authorizes the continued operation of an existing 0.6 MGD wastewater treatment
facility consisting of an influent lift station, bar screen, flow splitter box, dual 0.3 MGD circular
extended aeration plants with secondary clarifiers and diffused post aeration, gas chlorine
disinfection, dual aerated sludge holding tanks, four sludge drying beds, and influent and effluent
flow measuring devices with totalizer.
The permit for this facility became effective on 3/1/02 and expires on 1/31/05. The review
period of the self-monitoring reports includes requirements of the previously issued permit.
RECORDS AND REPORTS:
Records and reports consisting of laboratory analyses, chain of custody forms, discharge
monitoring reports(DMRs), Operator-in-Responsible Charge (ORC)visitation log, daily operation
and maintenance log, flow charts, calibration data, and process control data were reviewed on-site
at the time of the inspection. The records were organized and well maintained. The ORC indicated
that the aeration dissolved oxygen, settleability, and sludge blanket measurements were not always
documented. All process control data must be documented as required by the 15A North Carolina
Administrative Code(NCAC)2B .0506(c)(3)and the NPDES Permit.In addition,the sludge records
are kept at a different location (maintenance shop). A copy of the sludge records should be
maintained at the WWTP site.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
The facility appeared to be operating properly and the surrounding grounds were well
maintained. Lime is added to the influent to maintain appropriate pH levels. There was severe
foaming in both aeration basins; however, the mixed liquor appeared to be well mixed and
adequately oxygenated. The back-up generator was well maintained. Large accumulations of grease
and scum were observed in the chlorine contact chamber. The additions of baffles in the chlorine
contact chambers would assist the operators in the collection and removal of the floatable debris.
A process control program consists of DO, pH, temperature, settleable solids, MLSS, and
sludge blanket measurements. The facility is staffed with a Grade IV ORC. A certified backup
operator has been designated and is available when the ORC is unable to visit the facility.The ORC
was very knowledgeable of the treatment processes and equipment used at the facility.
The Town currently maintains four pump stations that are equipped with a SCADA and
audible and visual alarm systems. The pumps stations are inspected seven days per week and
portable generators are available for emergency power.
LABORATORY:
Hydro Analytical Laboratories, Inc. (Certification # 103) of Clemmons, N.C. has been
contracted to provide analytical support. The lab was not evaluated during this inspection.

FPTown of Dallas WWTP
Page Three
LABORATORY cont'd:
The pH meter is calibrated with two buffers; however, only monthly check standard
verifications are performed. The pH meter must be calibrated with two standards and a third check
standard verification must be performed during each day of meter usage (Reference: Standard
Methods, 18th Ediition,4500-H+B). Please refer to the field parameter guidance attached to this
report regarding proper calibration procedures and documentation requirements.
The temperature in the refrigerator utilized for sample storage was below 0°C. Samples must
be properly preserved(includes during storage) at a temperature of 4°C (Reference: 40 CFR 136.3
Table II).Note: The EPA has approved a temperature range of 1 - 4.4°C for proper preservation.
The TRC meter and thermometer appeared to be properly calibrated.
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING STREAM:
The effluent discharge was clear with trace suspended solids and no foam. The facility
discharges into Dallas Branch,which is a Class C water in the Catawba River Basin. The receiving
stream was not evaluated at the time of the inspection.
A review of the DMRs have indicated numerous TRC values in excess of 284g/l. Be aware
that a stream action level of 174g/1 has been established for total residual chlorine for chronic
toxicity effects. An action level of 284g/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 with fecal coliform limits.
SELF-MONITORING PROGRAM:
Self-monitoring reports were reviewed for the period February 2001 through December 2001,
inclusive. The following limit violations were reported:
-Weekly average BOD violations for the weeks of February 11 through February 17 and September
2 through September 8*, 2001.
- Weekly average fecal coliform violations for the weeks of April 1 through April 7, August 19
through August 25, and September 2 through September 8*, 2001.
- Monthly average BOD and ammonia violations for September* 2001.
Note: * denotes issuance of NOV or civil penalty assessment
No effluent temperature was reported for May 11, July 9, July 10, and November 16, 2001.
In addition,no flow was reported for June 26, 2001.
A review of the laboratory analysis result for ammonia and the corresponding result reported
on the February 2001 DMR indicated that the computer program at the facility had rounded the
ammonia value to the nearest whole number. The ORC indicated that he would correct the computer
program to reflect the true value on the DMR.
The collection and analysis times for TRC and pH weremot documented to verify compliance
with the 15-minute holding time requirement as stipulated in 40 CFR 136.3 Table II. In addition,
the start date and start time for the composite samples for the first round of weekly samples were not
documented as required by 15A NCAC 2B .0506(b)(3)(F).

SELF-MONITORING PROGRAM cont'd:
The temperatures of the influent and effluent composite samplers and the refrigerator utilized
for sample storage were not documented to ensure the samples were being properly preserved at 4°C
(1 -4.4 C) as required by 40 CFR 136.3 Table II.
Composite samples are collected flow proportionately. The upstream and downstream
sampling locations appeared to be consistent with permit requirements.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Effluent flow is measured at each train by an ultrasonic flow meter with a totalizer and chart
recording. The flow meter is calibrated quarterly by KNC Instrumentation& Control Services. The
flow meter was last calibrated on 2/22/02.
The weir plate utilized for flow measurement in the west train had a significant leak due to
severe rust and deterioration. Please be advised that the NPDES Permit requires that the facility be
properly operated and maintained at all times. In addition,the 15A 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:
Dewatered sludge is removed and disposed at the BFI Landfill in Harrisburg,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.
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.
