Waste Water Treatment Plant WQROS Annual Report for 2016 MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE • General Information: The Town of Dallas,N.C. operates a Waste Treatment plant capable of processing .6 MGD(million gallons/day) with a discharge to an unnamed tributary of Long Creek, a class C tributary to the Catawba River Basin. Consisting of two units of extended aeration, combined with sludge digesters, and Chlorine contact chambers for disinfection, the plants flows are monitored through Parshall flumes, and ultrasonic flow indication on the influent side. They are also monitored on the discharge side to each unit through ultrasonic flow metering. The influent side has a manual bar screen at the pump station along with bar screen at the front of the units. Disinfection is accomplished by a chlorine contact chamber and de-chlorination accomplished by sulfur addition before discharging to creek. Bio-solids produced by the plant are processed in an eco-friendly manner by utilizing a "Green"mindset allowing local farmers to fertilize fields for production of various grasses. Land application is a win-win situation for farmers and local governments for disposal of solids. The plant has digesters for processing sludge on each unit. They maintain drying beds for use in rainy times when land application is not feasible, and also send solids to an incinerator at Rocky Road WWTP, if need be. Records of each of these methods of sludge disposal are kept at the Dallas Waste Treatment plant office for public viewing. The Town of Dallas processed more than 100 million gallons of waste water for the year 2016. This was accomplished with minimal disruption in quality of service. The plant experienced two non-compliant incidents for the year as follows: 1.) December of 2016 had violation for fecal coliform for a weekly count. 2.) September of 2016 a p.H. incident resulted in die out of microorganisms resulting in violations for all parameters. Plant operators responded professionally to the September issue and the plant was brought back into compliance in minimal time. The Town of Dallas is committed to operating in adherence to their permit#NC006888. The Plant is currently exploring the possibility of merging with the City of Gastonia at the Long Creek plant located nearby. Many considerations must be analyzed before this can take place and the Town is working with Long Creek WWTP, and the City of Gastonia, in this matter. However;this will not deter Dallas' commitment as they are actively replacing older equipment, i.e. blower and new lift station pump. The plant utilizes different laboratories to analyze treated water and biological treatment. These are listed: 1. City of Gastonia certification#210 2. Environmental Testing Solutions certification#600 3. Lab at the plant.Not certified, used for process control. In all, 156 tests are required by permit, 208 tests are conducted. The Town of Dallas provides 33%more testing to insure parameters and quality are being achieved. The plant has two main back-ups, emergency pieces of equipment to maintain the plant in unforeseen situations. There is a new CAT generator able to run the entire plant in case of electrical interruption, and a Sunbelt diesel pump to avoid overflow at the influent of the plant. Dallas also uses a variety of local businesses in various capacities which perform different quality checks on equipment that deserve to be listed: 1. Piedmont Pump and Valve Maintenance 2. Piedmont Chlorinator Disinfection System 3. Ken Nash Company Flow Meter and Charting 4. Maryland Biochemical Biological and Chemical providers 5.

This same event is occurring again this year. This time, Mr. Trudnak, the Director of Public Works has spoken to,and is in the process of hiring a new ORC. He has actually been training at the facility for over a week now. In addition, there is another Grade IV certified operator that has been an ORC in this county at another facility who will be on the schedule and will assist in operations. Mr. Michael Hurt will continue to be the backup and will continue to operate just as he has in the past. Saturday evening September 3u1, 2016 will be my last day here at the facility. As in last year,I will stay in touch with Mr.Trudnak and his staff.If I can return in winter and if I am needed, I will return to assist the town in any way that I may be needed.I have always enjoyed immensely my work here at the town of Dallas. I will be available to operations anytime that a question arises concerning plant operations.

VAN DER VAART secretary Water Resources S. JAY ZIMMERMAN ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY Director C June 24, 2016 RECEIVED/NCDENR/DWR Rick Coleman 3 0 2016 Town of Dallas WQROS 210 N Holland St MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE Dallas, NC 28034-2749 Subject: NPDES Electronic Reporting Requirements Dallas WWTP NPDES Permit Number: NC0068888 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(I)(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. For more information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule,visit http://www2.epa.gov/compliance/final-national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-npdes- electronic-reporting-rule.

Doug Huffman Dear Sir: Police Chief This letter is in response to the letter received by your office on April 2nd, 2015. The May Gary Buckner DMR had a violation for BOD weekly for the week ending 5/10/2014. Planning d, David Kahter There was a situation on the morning of Monday, May 5 , 2014, where the lime slurry feed tank had been in operation for a short period of time in the early morning hours when Fire Chief the ORC was present and working at the facility. There was a plant and utility assistant worker Steve Lambert who was coming to the facility to assist daily operations. I had started a slow drip feed of the Recreation lime slurry at the main lift station at around 6 A.M. I explained to the operator that the lime Anne Martin was running and asked him to monitor the feed rate and shut the valves on the effluent tank at around 7:45 A.M. or a few minutes after. He told me that he would take care of this task. Town of Dallas 210 N. Holland St. I arrived back at the facility to complete the daily operations at around 5:30 P.M. When I f,allas, NC ?'134 made the round I came first upon the west tank and could see that the color of the basin was Phone: not the correct color for aeration basin. It also had a fairly heavy chemical odor, I was 704-922-3176 thinking right away that it was a lime over feed, but I had to confirm this. I went to the lime Fax: tank and climbed the ladder up and could see that the tank was empty. 704-922-4701 Web Page: went I to the head of the plant, dropped the gate r'*i the west train, called utility www.aallasnc.ne operations supervisor, plant backup ORC, and Mr. Trudnak, me Director of public works and utilities. In just a few minutes, town personnel started to arrive. They started to assist me. Public We set up gasoline pump right away and started to pump over from the east basin, this train MDW MOWIDPX B ft0VIaFA 4.410r101r is further from the incoming flow and was not affected by the overfeed. Much of the chemical did not get to this basin, the flow pattern is much closer and the pipe is much farther away. This had immediate results. The pH was dropping and the chemical odor was subsiding. The aeration slides were monitored by all present. They also showed immediate improvement. At no time did the effluent pH exceed the limit set by permit of 9.0. Throughout the night, the gasoline pump ran and reseeded the west basin. Samples were collected and results showed improvement. I arrived back at the facility at 5 A.M. West basin pH was down into the 8.48 range. We had been putting out Maryland BioChemical Bagged Aeration Material and the pH continued to drop. This is something we keep on site for grease control and issues with nitrification when they arise. The assistant operator at the plant worked and attained readings throughout the day, until such time as I returned to complete operational round. Mid-morning I called to speak to Wes Bell. I was told he was out in the field, so I called back to the Mooresville Regional Office to report and explain the incident. Slides continued to show improvement and the plant returned to normal by a little after Noon the next day. I was in contact with Mr. Trudnak and the backup ORC throughout the incident. The police department was contacted, came out and fingerprinted the lime tank and the valves associated with the feed system. One f the town employees was disciplined. This letter from the police was added to the DMR for that month, and was read personally by Mr. Wes Bell when he inspected our facility the following month This situation was handled by town staff quickly and professionally.

Ferguson St. Dallas, NC 28034 Subject: Dallas DMR November 2013 Dear Mr.Trudnak: During the WWTP inspection,Tuesday 6/10/14,a question was brought up concerning the ammonia value for the 11-25-13 effluent. In review of the chain of custody form(attached)and the ammonia bench sheet (attached),it appears that the effluent was sampled and analyzed. Immediately after testing the 11-25-13 sample, (which had a result of 0.046 mg/I,reportable as<0.20)a midpoint standard was run. The allowable limit for the 10 mg/I ammonia standard is+/- 10%,(9.0-11.0 mg/I ammonia). The standard value tested at 11.791%. Because of this,the effluent sample was designated to be repeated but the analysis was not repeated and the test result of 11-25-13 not entered. I have attached a revised copy of the November 2013 DMR along with a revised qualification letter. Another area of discussion concerning the laboratory was the chain of custody forms.These forms have been filed at Crowder's Laboratory but effective with the report for May 2014, a hard copy of these were mailed with the May 2014 report and a scanned copy of these forms were emailed to Jon Page and Jan Green. We will continue to provide the chain of custody forms in both formats. Thank you for business with Two Rivers Utilities.

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 Resources 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 Resources 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 Resources 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 Resources 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 Resources 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.

EXPLANATION: (use additional pages as necessary) NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF WATER RESOURCES ASSESSMENT FACTORS Violator: Town of Dallas Facility: Dallas WWTP County: Gaston Case Number: LV-2013-0166 Permit Number: NC0068888 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. However, the discharge of BOD and ammonia in excess of the permit limits could cause a decrease in the instream dissolved oxygen concentration downstream of the facility, whereas the discharge of suspended solids in excess of the permit limits could impact aquatic life. The receiving stream is Dallas Branch, a class C stream, in the Catawba River basin, which appeared on the NC 303(d) impaired list since 1998 for benthic aquatic life. 2) The duration and gravity of the violation; The BOD concentration was 8.6 mg/L, >188.0 mg/L, 47.8 mg/L, 48.6 mg/L, and 40.6 mg/L for May 21st through May 25th. This resulted in a weekly average concentration of 66.7 mg/L, which exceeded the permit limit of 19.5 mg/L by 242.2%. The monthly average concentration was 24.0 mg/L, which exceeded the permit limit of 13.0 mg/L by 84.8%. Seven of the twenty samples collected during the month had BOD concentrations above the monthly average permit limit. The TSS concentration was 8.6 mg/L, 452.5 mg/L, 34.6 mg/L, 32.4 mg/L, and 28.0 mg/L for May 21st through May 25th. This resulted in a weekly average concentration of 111.2 mg/L, which exceeded the permit limit of 45.0 mg/L by 147.2%. Four of the twenty samples collected during the month had TSS concentrations above the monthly average permit limit. The ammonia concentration was 9.2 mg/L, 18.8 mg/L, 10.9 mg/L, 12.4 mg/L, and 11.7 mg/L for May 21st through May 25th. This resulted in a weekly average concentration of 12.6 mg/L, which exceeded the permit limit of 6.0 mg/L by 109.7%. Ten of the twenty samples collected during the month had ammonia concentrations above the monthly average permit limit. 3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; The effect on the receiving stream is unknown. The best use of the receiving stream (Class C— water supply, fish/aquatic life propagation, and secondary recreation) may be altered due to reduced dissolved oxygen concentrations caused by assimilation of oxygen-consuming wastes such as BOD and ammonia and could impact aquatic life propagation due to increased solids. The receiving stream is currently impaired and has appeared on the NC 303(d) impaired list since 1998 for benthic aquatic life impairment. 4) The cost of rectifying the damage; The cost is unknown. 5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; The amount of money saved by noncompliance is unknown. The permittee's response to NOV-2013- LV-0488 noted that in excess of $60,000 was spent to refurbish the aeration basins at the WWTP in May 2013. 6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; The Division of Water Resources has no evidence that 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 There have been 48 previous CPAs for the Dallas WWTP with three CPA issued in the past 12 months. Case Number Description LV-2013-0134 $647.44 LV for TSS and BOD. Penalty was paid in full. LV-2013-0112 $897.44 LV for TSS. Penalty was paid in full. LV-2012-0180 $891.10 LV for ammonia-nitrogen. Penalty was paid in full. 8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures. The cost to the Division of Water Resources is $148.91. Q �Z Z013 ate Michael L.

The May DMR had Bill Trudnak violations for three parameters at the outfall # 001 (Plant Effluent). They were NH3-N weekly and monthly violation. BOD weekly and monthly violation and TSS weekly and monthly violation. All sources point to a Electrical deterioration of the East Side Aeration Basin that culminated on the third week of the month. J. Doug Huffman There had been a series of mechanical situations that operations staff had dealt with beginning with Police Chief Westside drive unit having to be taken out of service on two different occasions.The chain had broken and had Gary Buckner fallen into the tank. A local contract company was brought in before the tank was pumped all the way out to retrieve the chain and associated hardware. The West side drive was brought back into service in less than two Planning days. After this, the east side drive unit had become bound up and was not turning correctly on the bottom David Kahler bearing. Again the tank had to be taken out of service. There were other materials wrapped around the drive F I re Chief hub,not associated with the chain drive as the first occasion. Steve Lambert Town staff was assisting ORC to obtain quotes for materials to refurbish the East Side Aeration basin. We Recreation realized that the basin that had to be taken out service twice in the same season was the unit that had the Anne Martin freshest rebuild. It was discussed with Town Management that as soon as the materials were purchased and the company that was to perform the complete rebuild was chosen,the time table to complete repairs would be set Town of Dallas up.This did happen as written above. While this was in progress,heavy rain and storms were in the area,fourth 210 N. Holland St. wettest spring in seventy four years. The Land Application Contract Company was on site to land Apply Bio Dallas, NC 28034 Solids when farmer's fields would allow this. Plant staff used polymer pumps to settle sludge blankets as much as possible. Phone: 704-922-3176 Parts were arriving and the contractor to perform services had been issued a purchase order. Fax: 704-922-4701 On the 24th of the May, I received a call from contract laboratory technician. She told me that the Web Page: Ammonia Nitrogen sample run was going to an 18 mg/1. That is when I called Mr.Trudnak and told him that www.dallasnc.ne we would not be able to wait an additional week as the contractor requested to start services, but instead we 41111. would have to drop the gate on the East side the morning of the 26th of May. Mr. Trudnak told us he would Public help us with his staff and resources in any way that he could. He made sure we had a full crew to assist YOUR NOME MI."!VF NG,PROYIOf contractors that were on site delivering FRAC Tank and associated pumping equipment. At the same time he had contractors cleaning drying beds and hauling material to Republic Waste Services.There were underground Utility Contactors on site to expedite this project by vacuuming out the bottom of the clarifier so Mr. Huffstetler and his group could begin the rebuild of,the aeration basin. Fields had dried up and on the 27th of May Southern Soil Builders began hauling sludge from both digesters to give us room to waste excess solids as the project was beginning. There was no time wasted as soon as the project began. I had called the Mooresville regional office late that Friday afternoon to speak to Ms.Donna Hood to explain circumstances I had gone over with Mr.Trudnak,so her office would be in the loop s repairs progressed In just about one week, no less than twenty-five to thirty people all working together completed all these tasks in succession and in a very professional manner. —2— August 28,2013 With invoices and purchase orders I have seen to date, the Town spent in the neighborhood of $ 60,000 that week plus staff time. After the rebuild was completed, we met to discuss routine pump down, clean out, and rebuild on a regular scheduled interval.The contractor that performs this service for Sanitaire System was the one that was chosen,and it is very likely he will be chosen again. The Town of Dallas is committed to doing anything possible to have an efficient and reliable system.

Dallas WWTP has an effluent discharge permitted that is 0.6 million gallons per day (MGD) entering the unnamed tributary of Long Creek (7Q10 of 0.075 CFS). Whole effluent samples were collected on July 23 and July 25 by Donna Hood and facility representative Bobby Hanna for use in a chronic Ceriodaphnia dubia pass-fail toxicity test. The test using these samples resulted in a fail. Toxicity test information follows. Test Type 3-Brood Ceriodaphnia dubia chronic pass fail Test Concentrations 90% Test Result Fail Control Survival 100% Control Mean Reproduction 32.7 neonates Test Treatment Survival 100% Treatment Mean Reproduction 25.5 neonates First Sample pH 7.17 SU First Sample Conductivity 548 micromhos/cm First Sample Total Residual Chlorine <0.10 mg/L Second Sample pH 7.31 SU Second Sample Conductivity 587 micromhos/crn Second Sample Total Residual Chlorine <0.10 mg/L Test results for the above samples indicate that the effluent may be predicted to have water quality impacts on receiving water under conditions of maximum facility discharge into extreme low stream flow conditions (7Q10).

The April DMR had a violation for NH3-N at the outfall#001 (Plant Effluent). This was monthly average of 2.94 mg/1.The limit is Public Works 2.0 mg/1. In Mid-Month, the plant had received extremely heavy loading, along with the wet weather that has Bill Trudnak carried through until mid-summer. Gaston County has experienced the fourth wettest summer in the past seventy five years. The DMR has now been amended to reflect this violation at the manhole # 001 Plant Electrical Effluent. J. Doug Huffman Land Application has been utilized when fields would allow this. On the 18th of the month,Southern Soil Police Chief Builders was actually able to haul 78,000 gallons of digested sludge from the plant to the field # M1 Laurence Gary Buckner Murphy. This did bring down solids inventory,though only slightly. Planning Polymer feed pumps have been used and are still ready to run as needed to keep sludge blankets from David Kahler carrying over. This will certainly help for tss,but the actual nitrification process is dependent upon both of the Fire Chief aeration basins being able to handle and treat continuously.3 MGD of Influent Flow. Steve Lambert For the mid April Ammonia Nitrogen spike,this is due to the rapid deterioration of the east aeration basin Recreation performance. The Town was in the process of receiving quotes for acquisition of and installation of the Anne Martin diffusers complete to rebuild this train.

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).

EXPLANATION: (use additional pages as necessary) NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT FACTORS Violator: Town of Dallas Facility: Dallas WWTP County: Gaston Case Number: LV-2013-0134 Permit Number: NC0068888 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. However, the discharge of BOD in excess of the permit limits could cause a decrease in the instream dissolved oxygen concentration downstream of the facility, whereas the discharge of suspended solids in excess of the permit limits could impact aquatic life. The receiving stream is Dallas Branch, a class C stream, in the Catawba River basin. 2) The duration and gravity of the violation; The BOD concentration was 5.9 mg/L, 237.0 mg/L, 12.0 mg/L, 5.8 mg/L, and 11.0 mg/L for February 26th through March 2nd. This resulted in a weekly average concentration of 54.3 mg/L, which exceeded the permit limit of 39.0 mg/L by 39.3%. The TSS concentration was 7.5 mg/L, 639.0 mg/L, 14.2 mg/L, 6.7 mg/L, and 19.8 mg/L for February 26th through March 2nd. This resulted in a weekly average concentration of 137.4 mg/L, which exceeded the permit limit of 45.0 mg/L by 205.4%. 3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; The effect on the receiving stream is unknown. The best use of the receiving stream (Class C— water supply, fish/aquatic life propagation, and secondary recreation) may be altered due to reduced dissolved oxygen concentrations caused by assimilation of oxygen-consuming wastes such as BOD and could impact aquatic life propagation due to increased solids. 4) The cost of rectifying the damage; The cost is unknown. 5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; The amount of money saved by noncompliance is unknown. 6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; The Division of Water Quality has no evidence that the violations were committed willfully or intentionally. The permittee previously noted an issue with removing solids from the plant during February 2013 (could not land apply of transfer to WSACC incinerator) that resulted in a wash out from l&l. Money is to be spent rehabbing collection system in the near future. 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 There have been 47 previous CPAs for the Dallas WWTP with two CPA issued in the past 12 months. Case Number Description LV-2013-0112 $897.44 LV for TSS. Penalty is within 30-day response window. LV-2012-0180 $891.10 LV for ammonia-nitrogen.

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).

EXPLANATION: (use additional pages as necessary) NORTH CAROLINA DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY ASSESSMENT FACTORS Violator: Town of Dallas Facility: Dallas WWTP County: Gaston Case Number: LV-2013-0112 Permit Number: NC0068888 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. However, the discharge of suspended solids in excess of the permit limit could impact aquatic life. The receiving stream is Dallas Branch, a class C stream, in the Catawba River basin. 2) The duration and gravity of the violation; The TSS concentration was 639 mg/L on February 27, 2013. This elevated concentration resulted in a monthly average TSS concentration of 47.2 mg/L, which exceeded the permit limit of 30.0 mg/L by 57.2%. 3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; The effect on the receiving stream is unknown; best use of the receiving stream (Class C— fish/aquatic life propagation and secondary recreation). Increased suspended solids can increase the water temperature, thus reducing the amount of oxygen possibly harming aquatic life. Solids can also reduce the amount of natural sunlight that penetrates through the water, further decreasing oxygen production and photosynthesis. In addition, high levels of solids can kill fish by clogging their gills, lowering their resistance to disease, and smothering their eggs as well as other aquatic organisms. 4) The cost of rectifying the damage; The cost is unknown. 5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; The amount of money saved by noncompliance is unknown. 6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; The Division of Water Quality has no evidence that the violations were committed willfully or intentionally. The permittee's response to the Notice of Violation noted that an issue with removing solids from the plant (could not land apply of transfer to WSACC incinerator) resulted in a wash out from l&l. Money is to be spent rehabbing collection system in the near future. 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 There have been 46 previous CPAs for the Dallas WWTP with one CPA issued in the past 12 months. Case Number Description LV-2012-0180 $891.10 LV for ammonia-nitrogen. Penalty was paid in full. 8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures. The cost to the Division of Water Quality is $147.44. 3 22i3 __ D to Michael L.

NCDENR MOORES`Ja.LE c'EGIONAL O' ICE Mooresville Regional Office 610 East Center Ave.,Suite 301 Mooresville,NC 28115 Dear Sir: This letter is in response to the letter received from your office on May 9th,2013. The February DMR had a violation for TSS at the outfall# 001 (Plant Effluent). This was monthly average of 47.2 mg/1.The limit is 30 mg/l. The final week of the month had been difficult on entire treatment operations due to extraordinarily wet weather and the flow patterns associated with this. Land application had already been scheduled to commence,however,field conditions could not allow the operation.The WSACC incinerator was contacted at Rocky River WWTP as has been the case on several occasions such as this.The initial operation to haul was set up. This would have dropped solids inventory and prevented sludge blankets from being elevated to the point that they were. When the contract hauler arrived at the facility, only two trucks were allowed to offload product due to problems with the thickener at their site. Polymer feed pump on West basin was put into service as flows increased and helped keep blankets down partially, however with 1 mgd flow and instantaneous flows even higher at times, there was a partial solids washout. • Immediately the Town of Dallas ordered more polymer that was proven effective here at the facility and an additional polymer feed pump and feed line that have also been set and have already been used by plant operations. In addition,the Town of Dallas has budgeted$56,000.00 in this year's budget for sewer line examination, videotaping,engineering discussion,and repair plan. An overview of Storm.flow and I&I will be pinpointed by Town Public Works Staff. The Town has also purchased a complete aeration rebuild for the East side aeration to make the efficiency of the second train equal to that of the first train. The Huffstetler Group Inc., a licensed contractor has a purchase order for work to begin as soon as the plan is in writing as to the exact scope of service and repair time estimate. The West train was rebuilt one and one half years ago. The Town of Dallas wishes to continue to operate effectively and professionally. We want the Town to be successful with this facility. I will make every effort to see that this is done. Thank-you for your time and consideration on this matter,sincerely, —2— May 21,2013 Sincerely, Crvt fS°3 � Jon Anthony Page Wastewater Treatment ORC cc:Mr.Bill Trudnak,WWT Superintendent 210 NORTH HOLLAND STREET • DALLAS NC • 28034 PHONE: 704-922-0517 • 4 r F ILE/ NCDENRo North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality Pat McCrory Charles Wakild, P.E.

My call to you was in response to the Town's question regarding its need to submit the $10,000.00 annual payment by January 15, 2013, as stipulated in the settlement agreement between the Town of Dallas and the Division of Water Quality that was established in May 2010. The Town requested clarification in this matter in light of the content of Division Director Charles Wakild's April 13, 2012 correspondence to you. As we discussed, the Director's April 13, 2012 letter did not constitute a modification of the settlement agreement, but instead proposed a framework for discussions regarding modification of the settlement agreement. The potential modification would have held the payment plan for one year (2013), which would allow the Town opportunity to finalize negotiations with Two Rivers Utilities, complete the sewer interconnection, and rescind the Town's NPDES permit. The Town was told that if the conditions were found to be acceptable, a modification of the settlement agreement could quickly be drafted. Since that time, the Division has not received a formal response to its proposal from the Town. As a result, the settlement agreement has not been modified, and the terms of the original agreement are binding. Per those terms, a$10,000.00 payment is due by January 15, 2013. During our conversation, the question was raised as to whether modification of the settlement agreement might still occur. My reply to you was that there appeared to be no justification for such an action. You had informed me that negotiations between the Town and the City of Gastonia(Two Rivers Utilities) had reached an impasse over the cost the Town would have to incur for wastewater service, and that no additional negotiations appeared to be forthcoming. Such a situation does not meet the conditions for progress toward interconnection as established in the Director's letter, and provides no basis for negotiation between our two parties to modify the settlement agreement. 1617 Mail Service Center,Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617 One Location:512 N.Salisbury St.Raleigh,North Carolina 27604 NorthCarolina Phone:919-807-63001 FAX:919-807-6492 Internet:www.ncwaterquality.org NaturallyAn Equal Opportunity 1Affirmative Action Employer Mr. Jim Palenick Dec. 17, 2012 Phone Summary p. 2 As we concluded our conversation, I stated that the Division would be pleased to review any additional information the Town would wish to provide regarding this matter, but repeated, as things stood at the moment,the $10,000.00 payment is due, as stipulated by the terms of the settlement agreement.

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).

The July DMR had a violation that did not get listed on the second page of the Report. The report was reviewed by myself and signed by the Utility Director and myself. I apologize for not getting this on the comments/violation page. The average was checked again and the number was on the average column at the bottom of the first page. And after seeing the lab report again, there was a duplicated number on the fourth of July. The lab at Crowder's Creek was not running on that date so after removing that number was actually 2.6. This has already been added to the July Amended copy and will be signed and sent along with this letter within the time allotted to Central Files. The next steps to be taken are as follows: First:The Town has a new assistant operator that is on-site four days per week. He is training in all aspects of plant operation. Since the DMR is always laid on the table while the edit is in progress, he has seen the edit last month. I am going to ask both he and the Backup ORC to review data before it is sent to the Public Works Office for signature. Next:We have had to wait for sometimes two to three weeks to obtain the lab data from the contract lab. I am going to request that we be given data on Friday by the end of the day for that week's compliance information. Thirdly,obviously the plant had gotten a heavy loading event from I am sure more than one source. I had called Backup ORC and Public Works field supervisor to see if the source of the load could be located. I am sure that at least a portion of it being septic tank materials.Although the plant runs and nitrifies well,the West Aeration was rebuilt just over a year to a year and a half ago. I am going to obtain quotes an come up with a plan in which the East Aeration train can be inspected, cleaned, and rebuilt. When I learned of the elevated ammonia nitrogen numbers,we immediately requested aeration ammonia,and found that it was in fact the East Side that had started to loose nitrification. We sent up pumping operations and pumped from the healthy side to the East side to bring that side back as quickly as possible. I call this reseeding from the healthy train. I had calculated the weekly numbers as data came in to us. I was watching the progress as the plant recovered and the weekly values came in range. However,I missed the average for Monthly Limits which was right at the bottom of the page. I would not and have not ever purposely failed to put something on the sheet. We had one previous violation since I have been here. It was a sample that was collected and did not get analyzed for Influent BOD. The Town of Dallas wishes to continue to operate effectively and professionally. We want the Town to be successful with this facility. I will make every effort to see that this is done. Thank-you for your time and consideration on this matter,sincerely, rillr' —2— October 22,2012 Sincerely, (641/1 efvuol___ tQ=7/(- Jon Anthony Page Wastewater Treatment ORC cc:Mr.Bill Trudnak,WWT Superintendent 210 NORTH HOLLAND STREET • DALLAS NC • 28034 PHONE: 704-922-0517 • NCDENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality Beverly Eaves Perdue Charles Wakild, P.E.

Box 1748 John Beaty Gastonia, NC 28052 Allen Huggins Scott Martin Darlene Morrow Hoyle Withers Re: Attempts at Negotiation on Wastewater Treatment Proposals Town Manager Jim Palenick Dear Mayor Bridgeman: Town Clerk Please note that, included on the August 14th Agenda of the monthly Board Meeting of Maria Stroupe the Board of Aldermen for the Town of Dallas was a discussion aimed at establishing a Town Attorney formal Town response to your July 11t correspondence regarding the above-captioned Pennie M.Thrower matter. As a result of said discussion, a formal response has been established by unanimous vote of the Board and, as Interim Town Manager, I have been asked to relay Public Works that response to you in writing. On behalf of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen of the Bill Trudnak Town of Dallas, the response is as follows: Electrical J. Doug Huffman Beginning with the premise of crafting a scenario whereby the Town of Dallas might permanently eliminate its NPDES Permit; abandon its wastewater treatment plant; and Police Chief enter into a long-term agreement with the City of Gastonia for the ongoing wholesale Gary Buckner treatment of Dallas wastewater flows at the Gastonia Long Creek WWTP; Dallas made Planning two separate, highly-detailed offers to you via correspondence from Mayor Coleman on David Kahler April 27 hand May 31st respectively. In each case, the offers represented terms and conditions which could be justified as being within the economic, environmental, and Fire Chief organizational best interests of the Town of Dallas, both short and long-term. In addition, Steve Lambert the terms and conditions were also carefully crafted to offer the City of Gastonia the long- Recreation term certainty of establishing and maintaining a favorably-competitive return-on- Anne Martin investment(15% guaranteed) for any and all service provision throughout. Town of Dallas In each of your(City of Gastonia)responses to those offers (May 11`h and July 11`h, 210 N. Holland St. 2012), you rejected the Town's proposals and in the alternate offered some variation on Dallas, NC 28034 the idea that Dallas pay a rate per-thousand-gallons of treatment equal to that which you Phone: have historically charged other contracted municipal wholesale customers; independent of 704-922-3176 the rate of return-on-investment such a rate would generate for Gastonia, and equally Fax: independent of whether or not said rate made any economic sense to Dallas. You justified 704-9Page:Web P this position by declaring that"fairness and equity must be the cornerstones of any Web Page www.dallasnc.net regionalization of service" and your goal was to not, "create a situation that would negatively impact our other contractual relationships with our existing(and equally important) municipal customers". s While it may be true that Dallas enjoys little in the way of"economies of scale" when it Public ;.;'Y;,= comes to wastewater treatment, and while the very notion of simply being out of the YOUR HOMETOWN MERV PA01'I0E14 treatment business offers the potential for certain extrinsic merits, the Town of Dallas nonetheless can only make decisions, or take actions on such a fundamental issue if the result will clearly make economic sense on behalf of the citizens and utility customers of the Town. To that end,there is nothing about Gastonia's proposals which, at this time and for at least the predictable future, makes economic sense for Dallas. For this reason it would appear that we have no other alternative than to reject your offer and its fundamental premise of treating Dallas as if we were wishing to join a"Regional Authority", rather than the stated desire for the negotiation of a bi-lateral contractual relationship which would assure both parties of a positive outcome. Having said that, we will assume that there remains little productive value in attempting any further negotiations toward a comprehensive wholesale treatment agreement, with the singular exception that, for emergency purposes, we would very much like to pursue the re-opening and reconstruction of the sanitary sewer interconnect line connecting the Dallas collection system to the Long Creek WWTP in Gastonia. In that regard, we have had our consulting engineers complete a cost estimate for the full re-opening of the line(copy attached) at an appropriate level of capacity and with no portion of the line less than 18" in diameter. This carries with it an anticipated total cost of$175,219.50, for which we would ask that Gastonia share in 50% of the costs—which is fully in keeping with your July 11`h proposal calling for"equitable" sharing of upfront capital costs. If the City is amenable to such cost sharing, please return formal acknowledgement of same and we will have a draft Memorandum of Agreement drawn up memorializing participation terms for your review and comment. On behalf of the Mayor and Board of Aldermen for the Town of Dallas, I thank you and the Gastonia City Council and Administrative Staff for your collective consideration and attention to this matter.

Great People. Great Promise. JUL 17 2012 Office of the Mayor SW�SECTION MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICEJuly 11, 2012 Honorable Mayor Rick Coleman Town of Dallas 210 N. Holland Street Dallas, NC 28034 RE: Town of Dallas Wastewater Treatment Alternate Proposal Dear Mayor Coleman: Thank you for your follow-up letter of May 31, 2012 and the additional proposal regarding the reestablishment of wholesale sewer service between our two communities. We continue to share your ideals in creating a solution that find a way for our two communities to work together to our mutual benefit without resulting in any inequity or unfairness in the overall regional situation in which we both reside. It is Gastonia's belief that fairness and equity must be the cornerstones of any regionalization of service, yet the challenge of maintaining such while meeting the needs of different communities and situations requires much creativity and discussion. Our goal and proposal as outlined herein attempts to find a way to meet Dallas' requests and needs without creating a situation that would negatively impact our other contractual relationshipc with our existing (and equally important) municipal customers. In general, when we look at 'actual or incremental costs at one particular treatment plant by itself', the numbers can be somewhat misleading. Our overall cost to operate and maintain the Gastonia water and sewer system is not meant to necessarily make a profit, and depending upon any given fiscal year, can at best, break even, or even lose money. From our perspective, system-wide costs cannot be arbitrarily deleted from specific treatment plants costs and/or distribution and collection lines. The overall cost to operate and maintain Gastonia sewer system is approximately $3.80 per thousand gallons of flow. Therefore, to create a 'cost-plus' rate without a substantial upfront capital infusion of funds makes it difficult to maintain equity among all municipal users. P.O.Box 1748 • Gastonia,NC 28053-1748 • Phone: 704.866.6720 • Fax: 704.854.6607 www.cityofgastonia.com However, we feel that the opportunity to create the win-win scenario is still very attainable. An interconnection to Dallas' system remains fairly simple to achieve through a connection to our Long Creek Waste Water Treatment Plant by gravity flow. We are pleased to have recently received the report from Dallas' engineer that the former sewer interconnection main is still in relatively good shape. In order to continue the conversation toward what we still hope and believe can be that "win- win" situation and partnership, we would propose the following for your consideration and reply/comment: • Allocation: Gastonia will allocate .75 MGD for Dallas' wastewater flow at its Long Creek WWTP, and will do so without any additional capital purchase requirement. This proposal would be in line with our existing precedents, and will result in significant upfront cost-avoidance for Dallas. • Term: Gastonia would suggest a thirty-year contract term, with at least two, additional 5-year options for renewal. This represents the generally-accepted maximum for most purposes, and again is in line with our existing precedents. • Rate: Gastonia would suggest an initial rate of$2.75 per 1,000 gallons, which we believe places our proposal in very close proximity (or less per 1,000 gallons) than that outlined in your May 31st correspondence. The current wholesale sewer rate for our other six municipal customers is $3.80 per 1,000 gallons. In addition, by recognizing Dallas' new flows and their net revenues, Gastonia could create a reduced wholesale sewer rate (approximately $3.50 per thousand) for all of our other existing municipal customers. Dallas' rate would then increase (pro rata) each year for a period of five years, at which time it would be equal and consistent with all other municipal wholesale sewer customers. • Wet-Weather Flows: Gastonia would recognize the impacts of inflow and infiltration (I/I) coming from Dallas' system by offering the 5-year period of time in which Dallas could correct any major I/I issues within your system before the full municipal wholesale rate became effective and consistent with all other municipalities. • Participation in Upfront Capital Cost: Recognizing the initial upfront capital costs associated with the cost of the repair and reinstatement of the existing sewer outfall line and the installation of the appropriate metering facilities, Gastonia would propose equitable participation in of these upfront costs. We received the engineering study for reactivating our interconnect sewer outfall line July 2nd prepared by your engineer. The estimated cost to reactivate the line is $89,324 according to the study. Our utility staff believes that the full cost may be higher, and would suggest that the engineers and staff meet to develop a mutually—agreed final estimate. It is our belief that this proposal represents a reasonable approach that provides secure treatment for the Town of Dallas that achieves the objectives from its negotiations with NC DENR that also help Dallas avoid the significant expense of nutrient-removal requirements that have been so drastically impacting many of our mutual neighbors and their treatment facilities in the region. This proposal also remains within the existing prior precedents that Gastonia has established in the past, and maintains the trust and credibility that is so important for us with our other municipal customers. We sincerely hope that you will view these proposals favorably and that our efforts can then shift to the drafting of the necessary interlocal agreement to make this partnership a reality. To move this matter forward we should direct our staffs to meet together and address the remaining technical issues. We look forward to your response, and assure you of our continued support and friendship going forward. Sincer: ,4744— r n D.

Great People. Great Promise. Office of the Mayor May 11, 2012 Honorable Mayor Rick Coleman Town of Dallas 210 N. Holland Street Dallas, NC 28034 RE: Town of Dallas Wastewater Treatment Proposal Dear Mayor Coleman: Thank you for your letter of April 27th to the City Council and me about the possible opportunity for an agreement to reconnect our two sanitary sewer systems. On behalf of Gastonia, I want to assure you that our goals are very similar to yours in creating 'win-win' scenarios for all parties with regard to future of overall utility service in our particular situation and throughout Gaston County. As stated in your correspondence, our collective staffs have been in on-going discussions and working jointly to complete an engineering study to address the physical components and estimated costs of reactivating the interconnect outfall line between our two municipalities. Initially, the interconnection was to be only an emergency connection between the two systems. We are pleased and fully support the decision to expand the project to include the Town of Dallas as a long term wholesale customer. Due to the remote location and subsequent inaccessibility of portions of the old sewer outfall, Gastonia has had to contract with a private sector firm with specialized equipment to access and video these remaining portions. This work is now in progress. Once the video work has been completed, Dallas' consultant for the engineering study (Diamond Engineering), can finish the overall evaluation and cost estimate for putting this line back into service.As you may recall the McGill study completed a few years ago recommended a new larger 20"outfall line. Both jurisdictions are hopeful that we can repair the existing line and it will be sufficient for many years. We are also pleased to learn, by way of the attached letter from Charles Wakild, that the water Quality Division of NCDNER is now willing to discuss holding the $10,000 a year fine owed by the Town Dallas to the State in abeyance for one year to "allow Dallas to finalize negotiations with Two Rivers Utilities, complete the sewer interconnection, and rescind the Town's NPDES wastewater permit." NCDNER's letter further indicates that the remaining fines owed to the State would be converted to funding for the sewer interconnect project. P.O.Box 1748 • Gastonia,NC 28053-1748 • Phone: 704.866.6720 • Fax: 704.854.6607 www.cityofgastonia.com 2 To continue to move this agreement and the subsequent project forward, the City of Gastonia (Two Rivers Utility)staff will work closely with the Town of Dallas on the specific details.The City Council and I support our staffs effort to complete an agreement for the sewer interconnection project as well as contractual provisions that guarantees wastewater treatment by Two Rivers Utilities for Dallas's long term needs. To accomplish the long term agreement, Gastonia remains flexible in determining a method to achieve a fair and verifiable price for treating wastewater for an extended time period,such as forty years.We will consider all methods and approaches that can get us to a successful agreement. • The Gastonia/Two Rivers staff has previously proposed to your staff that the new flows from Dallas should be recognized as an incremental component to establish a new lower municipal wholesale rate. The net new revenues realized through reinstatement of the interconnect could be utilized to create a new and a lower 'bulk wholesale rate' for the Town of Dallas and potentially for all of our other municipal wholesale customers: o The rate is currently$3.80 per thousand gallons o The rate could be adjusted to $3.42 per thousand gallons based upon Dallas' 120,404,000 gallons per year • To further reduce cost to Dallas, Gastonia/Two Rivers could agree to recognize the impacts of infiltration and inflow (I/I) to the system's operation, and contractual terms and conditions could be negotiated in which high flows due to I/I could be charged at a reduced rate (for example, those flows during significant rain events exceeding 20% of the average daily flow could be charged at a reduced per thousand gallons cost).This would allow in turn, a multi-year period (for example 5 years) in which Dallas could alleviate major areas of I/I but during that time, would not be paying the full bulk rate for treating what is, in essence, rainwater flowing into your system. • Gastonia will work to develop the lowest possible cost structure for the Town of Dallas to include a whole new rate structure that establishes a fair rate for Dallas and for all our other municipal wholesale customers. We are also open to phase-in rates or credits based upon recognition of capital costs while moving to full equitable rates to achieve agreement. • The cost of reactivating the old sewer line connection between Dallas and Gastonia can be mutually negotiated through cost-sharing opportunities, once the final evaluation and cost estimates by Diamond Engineering are completed. As noted above, we would anticipate a quick resolution on finalizing this study once the remaining video work is complete. 3 The City of Gastonia strongly supports this effort to reconnect our two sewer systems and to further long term efficiency and effectiveness for our utility rate payers through intergovernmental cooperation. We want to create a win-win opportunity for all parties-especially rate payers. However, we cannot support concepts that would create inequitable and unfair relationships with our existing and future municipal customer base. From a broad perspective, it is very important for the City of Gastonia to maintain the integrity of its utility rate structure with all customers, and particularly with our municipal customers. To contemplate a totally different rate structure as suggested in your letter for one municipality, that is substantially different and less than that of other municipal customers, would not be equitable or fair. I believe you would agree that if the Town of Dallas were an existing sewer customer, you too would be highly upset if we considered contracting with another municipality at a significantly lesser utility rate.Therefore, in fairness to all parties,the consistent and equal treatment of all similar class customers is vital to the basic core components of operating any truly regional utility system. In closing, I believe we have a real opportunity for both Dallas and Gastonia to embrace a mutually beneficial inter-local agreement that will be in the long term best interests of all parties. To that end I believe that our respective staffs and consulting engineers and attorneys should get back to working together on completing the engineering study and drafting the specifications and the provisions for the final agreement. Once these agreements have been prepared our City Council and your Board of Aldermen can consider and approve them. I appreciate your friendship and look forward to working together on this matter and many other issues that impact our two communities. Sin ely, n D.

However, if such action were to ever occur,the first essential step to achievement of same would be to complete the re-opening and rehabilitation of the interconnect line,which carries with it an approximate$180,000-$200,000 cost;with approximately$120,000 being the responsibility of the Town of Dallas.This brings us to the point of this correspondence. Specifically,The Town of Dallas would like to propose that,rather than making the remaining $80,000 in Settlement obligation payments in installments over the next(8)years,we instead be allowed to spend an equal total of$80,000 in productive,real infrastructure improvements toward the re-opening and rehabilitation of the Wastewater Interconnect line between the Town of Dallas collection system and the Long Creek wastewater Treatment Plant in the City of Gastonia. We think an Amendment to the Settlement agreement in this regard would be appropriate and in the interest of all concerned. In the alternative,the Town of Dallas will be using its otherwise scarce financial resources in punitive payments to the NCDENR rather than toward the sustainable upgrade of the infrastructure systems which might better assure continuing compliance over the long-term. I thank you for your gracious attention to this matter,and I await your prompt reply. Sincerely, James .

The Unit processes include a manually cleaned bar rack, a parshall flume for influent flow measurement, a secondary manually cleaned bar rack, 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, Land Applied on permitted farmland. Southern Soil Builders have a contract with the Town of Dallas to provide this transportation and application of sludge per Permit WQ0020912, dated May 15th, 2008. There are analytical results and site maps available at the Wastewater Treatment Office. On December 23`d, 2011, there was a modification made to Attachment B of the permit to add an additional 16.4 acres of Land. This site map is also available at the Wastewater Treatment Office. In addition to the Land Application, The Town of Dallas has continued to utilize the WSACC Incinerator for disposal of biosolids. In the calendar year 2011 we transported 429,000 gallons to the Rocky River Plant in Cabarrus County. Sand drying beds are also provided on site. They can be used when available. The plant is currently treating approximately 0.329 MGD. The Town of Dallas operates on its permit which became effective on October 1st, 2010. In this permit, there was a new condition added for the Town to add statements concerning any efforts that are being made to make connections to the City of Gastonia's Long Creek Plant and eliminate the existing discharge. At this time, the Town is conducting Engineering Studies to discuss the possibility of an interconnection for redirection of flows during rain events, i.e., heavy flow occurrences, which would flow to the Long Creek Plant. II. Compliance Performance Town of Dallas Page 2 of 5 V The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) regulate the Town of Dallas effluent discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The NCDENR issued to the Town a NPDES Permit, # NC0068888 which includes water quality limits and sampling and monitoring requirements. The NPDES Permit requires the Town to test 12 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 City of Gastonia Wastewater Division Laboratory (certification. # 210) has been contracted by the Town of Dallas to collect, transport, analyze, and report the results in a timely manner to the Town for DMR Reporting and accurate process control of treatment processes. Environmental Testing Solutions Laboratory (Certification # 600) has been conducting the Quarterly Chronic Toxicity Tests. All Flow Instrumentation and Calibration was performed by the Ken Nash Company. All calibration records are available in the Wastewater Office. The Town of Dallas Public Works continues its Pro-Active Approach towards the Treatment of Wastewater. Town Officials have continued to schedule Carolina Quality Construction to perform scheduled Preventative Maintenance on all System Major Equipment. The Emergency Diesel Pump on-site still serves as a third Main Lift Pump. This can be utilized during rainstorms, and high flow events. The Pump Station has two (2) Gorman Rupp Pumps with High and Low Speed Capabilities. There are now hour clocks on each pump for each speed. This gives an accurate detail of times and volumes. Both of these pumps have been rebuilt during this fiscal year. The Main Lift Station has retained the 3,500 gallon steel tank, which is on trial from Univar USA, for PH/Alkalinity adjustments. The tank contains a Liquid Lime Slurry of 34% solution to be trickled in by gravity at plant influent. Management continues to monitor system results to determine if this will be cost effective and become a permanent part of the treatment process. Repairs have been made to the West Aeration Basin. This basin was drained, cleaned, inspected, and all diffusers were replaced with new units. This has greatly increased operating efficiency. The Public Works Department installed new piping for separate lines to return the decanted digester water to the Main Lift Station. This will put less of a demand on the System for Ammonia-Nitrogen, and other parameters as well. The # 1 Blower has been replaced with a new unit. The Public Works Collection System Personnel are still involved in a Grease Augmentation Program with Maryland Bio-Chemical Company at the Town's Lift Stations. The Town has performed preventive maintenance on the Plant's Emergency Generator. This unit is available to carry the entire Plant and Main Lift Station 24 hours per day, 7 days per week with Automatic Switching capability.

The Unit processes include a manually cleaned bar rack, a parshall flume for influent flow measurement, a secondary manually cleaned bar rack, 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, Land Applied on permitted farmland. Southern Soil Builders have a contract with the Town of Dallas to provide this transportation and application of sludge per Permit WQ0020912, dated September 13th, 2007. There are analytical results and site maps available at the Wastewater Treatment Office. In addition to the Land Application, The Town of Dallas is excited to be one of the first local utilities to have utilized the WSACC Incinerator for disposal of biosolids. In the calendar year 2010 we transported 478,000 gallons to the Rocky River Plant in Cabarrus County. Sand drying beds are also provided on site. They can be used when available.

There was a telephone call from and to your office on the 19th concerning a grab sample for Total Residual Chlorine that was picked up on the morning of the 13th of January by personnel from the City's Pretreatment staff. They have a contract to sample for the Town of Dallas since January 1st. I had received a call from the Long Creek Plant on the afternoon of the 13th of January stating that a sample had been collected to be analyzed for total residual chlorine. The technician had not run the sample within the fifteen minutes holding time,and it is to be assumed that this sample would not have been within the range specified in the Plant Permit. The technician sent sampling tech to retrieve another sample from the effluent sample point to be analyzed. At this time,I collected a sample from the same site and ran on the Hach pocket meter that is in the lab and belongs to the Town of Dallas. This is the meter that I use for process control seven days per week. It reads in milligrams, but it will read zero, or very close to zero. I read the sample at 0.01 mg/L. I contacted the lab later that evening, and they relayed to me that the sample was negative 5 (-5)ug/l. I have no paperwork from this as of yet, this was by way of telephone call. All chemical feed from the Chlorine/ Sulfur Dioxide Feed Room is connected to flow meters with 4- 20ma output. The set points rise and fall on the rotameter based on flow signals. These are the same signals that are on the effluent daily flow totalizer. There are two scenarios that can cause chlorine to overfeed that come to my mind. One is a tank emptying out and another tank starting up,due to there being a second tank on each scale. The sample would have to be collected as the tank was switching over. There was a tank switch over on that day. The second scenario,which is more likely,is foam under the transducer,(which is the part that sends the signal to the flow meter.), of one of the contact chambers, which the meter sees as additional flow. This could cause a temporary overfeed until the foam is cleared away. The West Plant has foaming issues in the Winter Months. Maryland Bio-Chemical has been helping the Town with foam and grease control. These two issues may be related. All feed equipment is flow proportional; there could be a drop off in chlorine demand. I have not witnessed a problem here in the past with this happening. I am sure there are other situations that could cause this to happen, but one of these two is what I believe to have happened. Remedies for these are (1) to have recalibrations performed on the flow meters on both sides,which is what we have asked for from the Instrumentation Technician KNC. This has been scheduled. The next is (2) to have the Chlorine Contractor I & I technician from Piedmont Chlorinator Sales and Service come to check the auto switch over units on the rotameters, to make sure they are operating normally. This has also been scheduled. Also, I have been in contact with Mr. Shellenbarger,who heads up the City's Pretreatment Staff. I have asked him to contact me immediately if there is any sample that is not what we expect,and I may be on-site to work through a situation such as this one. These are grab samples,and are daily averages. I have made sure that he has both my contact numbers,including my 24 hour number. He told me in a telephone conversation —2— January 24,2011 we had on the 20th,that he has assigned this task to another technician,one,who he feels is the correct person for this duty. He is also in the process of purchasing a low level chlorine meter to have at the Dallas Plant to be used by this technician. It will be faster and more convenient for them to do residuals on site,as the other contract lab was doing. There were no instances such as this for the three (3) years the other lab was performing this service for the Town. In addition to this work scheduled, we have asked KNC Company to build and install dual flow signal switching devices at Plant Influent and Plant Effluent. There are two sample machines at each location at this time. If we have the problem with the refrigerated samplers which had programming issues that repairs have been made under warranty,we can easily switch to the second machine, and continue sampling. This upgrade has already been started. The Town of Dallas wishes to continue to operate effectively and professionally. We want the Town to be successful with this facility. I will make every effort to see that this is done. Thank-you for your time and consideration on this matter,sincerely, Sincerely, 97,-v2 Jon Anthony Page Wastewater Treatment ORC cc:Mr.Bill Trudnak,WWT Superintendent 210 NORTH HOLLAND STREET • DALLAS NC • 28034 PHONE: 704-922-0517 • NCDENR Division of Water Quality Surface Water Protection Section Memo To: Correspondence fi for NC0068888 From: Donna Hood CC: [Click here and type name] Date: 2/11/2011 Re: Sampling Problem at Dallas WWTP by the City of Gastonia Reported by Larry Cummins/David Shellenberger/Janet Maddox for the City of Gastonia The City of Gastonia reported, via phone call to Donna Hood on 01.19.2011, a problem with the effluent chlorine sample collected on 01.13.2011. City contacts stated that the lab technician had sampled Dallas WWTP effluent for chlorine residual, returned to the City of Gastonia Long Creek WWTP Lab to analyze the sample, added the reagent(which turns the sample pink in the presence of chlorine), and poured the sample out when it turned pink. The pink color is indicative of a permit violation for Total Residual Chlorine (TRC). This process was repeated several times, although the exact number of samples poured out was not known. The ORC, Jon Page, was notified by the lab each time the samples turned pink. Mr. Page was informed by the lab of the problem so he could investigate the mechanical problem with the chemical addition of dechlorination to the effluent. Mr. Page did not notify the State of the non-compliance, although he did provide a written report of the problem. The City of Gastonia as well as Mr. Page was informed that failure to process samples in the lab because they indicate a limit violation of the applicable NPDES permit, is considered selective sampling and is not allowed per permit requirements. Mr. Cummins stated that the incident will not be repeated and was already being handled internally by the City of Gastonia. Mr. Page submitted an explanation of the incident, but it did not include any of the egregious sampling mistakes relayed to Ms. Hood by the City of Gastonia. Mr. Page was also made aware of his responsibilities as ORC to notify DWQ of any permit violations. 1 --, �0,,ic D4, . �` 3 2ogt,1 c AnA��\<\� . . . . , .

Holland Street Dallas, NC 28034-1726 (704) 922-0517 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, and 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, Land Applied on permitted farmland. Southern Soil Builders have a contract with the Town of Dallas to provide this transportation and application of sludge per Permit WQ0020912, dated September 13th, 2007. There are analytical results and site maps available at the Wastewater Treatment Office. Sand drying beds are also provided on site. They will be used when available. The plant is currently treating approximately 0.356 MGD. II. Compliance Performance The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) regulate the Town of Dallas effluent discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The NCDENR issued to the Town a NPDES Permit, # NC0068888 which includes water quality limits and sampling and monitoring requirements. The NPDES Permit requires the Town to test more than 12 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, K & W Laboratories (certification. # 559) from Charlotte North Carolina has been contracted by the Town of Dallas to collect, transport, analyze, and report the results in a timely manner to the Town for DMR Reporting and accurate process control of treatment processes. All Flow Instrumentation and Calibration was Town of Dallas Page 2 of 4 performed by the Ken Nash Company. All calibration records are available in Wastewater Office. The Town of Dallas Public Works continues its Pro-Active Approach towards the Treatment of Wastewater. Town Officials have renewed the Contract with Piedmont Pump, and Valve Company to perform scheduled Preventative Maintenance on all System Major Equipment. The Emergency Diesel Pump on-site still serves as a third Main Lift Pump. This has been utilized on several occasions during rainstorms, and high flow events. The Main Lift Station containment wall has been enlarged and structurally reformed by brick masons. Repairs have been made to the West Aeration Air Distribution Line, valves and the third blower. The Plant # 1 Blower has been replaced with a new unit. Public Works Collection System Personnel is still involved on a Grease Augmentation Program with Maryland Bio-Chemical Company at the City's Lift Stations.
