Re: Notice of Deficiency
Pretreatment Compliance Inspection
Two Rivers Utilities
NPDES Permit No. NCO020184
Gaston County
Tracking No. NOD-2019-PC-0032
Dear Mr. Bell:
Thank you for your time during the January 18, 2019 inspection of TRU's pretreatment program and for promptly
providing the report from the inspection. The report asked for a response by February 19th, to the Notice of
Deficiency concerning a lack of enforcement action for multiple instances of late reporting of flow volumes.
The following actions have been taken to address this issue and to prevent its recurrence:
• An NOV has been issued to Stabilus Inc. for violations of the flow reporting requirements. (A copy of the
NOV is attached.)
• Files have been reviewed for all other permitted industrial users for other instances of late reporting.
Following this review, NOVs have been issued to CaroMont Regional Medical Center; Choice Beverage
USA; Powder Coating Services, Inc.; Sunshine Uniform Services. and Valley Proteins.
• All Significant Industrial Users have been contacted and informed that going forward, TRU will be
enforcing all reporting deadlines stringently including the issuances of NOVs.
• Pretreatment staff have been instructed to follow the Enforcement Response Plan and to issue NOVs
when reporting deadlines are not met, except for extenuating circumstances. The reason for any
exceptions is to be documented. Escalated responses shall be taken in accordance with the ERP for
frequent repeat or more severe reporting violations.
During the inspection and in the report, a concern was raised about the in -line pH monitoring system located at
Sunshine Uniform Services and TRU's response to issues concerning the system. Following the inspection these
actions have been taken:
• Sunshine Uniform Services has been issued an NOV for failure to properly maintain its pH system. (A
copy of the NOV is attached.)

• Pretreatment staff from TRU have met with Sunshine Uniform Services staff concerning the short
comings of the system, maintenance on it, and discrepancies between pH readings. System operation,
calibration and maintenance were reviewed.
• Sunshine Uniform Services has performed maintenance on the acid pump used for pH control, which
they believe caused the pH excursions.
• TRU will be conducting an evaluation of Sunshine Uniform Service's system by taking multiple pH
readings over extended periods of time to verify the system's effectiveness. If adequate correlation
and effectiveness of the system cannot be demonstrated, Sunshine Uniform Services will be required to
modify or replace the pH control and adjustment system.
• Pretreatment staff have been instructed to thoroughly review all received information for similar types
of issues and to take appropriate actions where warranted.
TRU strives to meet or exceed all compliance obligations, and appreciates NC DEQ's inspection and report.
Please let me know if additional actions and/or documentation is needed.
Sincerely,
Stephanie Scheringer
Division Manager Wastewater Treatment

RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATIONS
Dear Mr. Ellington:
State and Federal Pretreatment Regulations require regular monitoring and issuing of Notices of Violations (NOV's)
when permit conditions are not followed.
As stated in Industrial User Permit #1021 Part H; General Conditions; (2) (b), "Monitoring results and flow
information obtained by the permittee shall be reported on forms specified by the City. The laboratory data, Chain
of Custody, and Industrial Flow Monitor forms must be postmarked no later than the tenth day of the month, or
delivered by hand, fax, or email by the fifteenth day, following the month in which the samples were collected. If
the permittee fails to submit the reports on or before the due date, the results obtained from the sampling event
may be excluded for surcharge purposes."
According to TRU's Enforcement Response Plan, late reporting will result in the issuance of a Notice of Violation.
The Industrial User Self -Monitoring Summary for the months of January, February, April, May, June, August,
September, October, November, and December of 2018, were received after the 15' of the following months.
Stabilus is required to submit in writing, within fourteen days, corrective action taken to achieve compliance.
Sincerely,

RE: NOTICE OF VIOLATIONS
Dear Mr. Daniels:
State and Federal Pretreatment Regulations require regular monitoring and issuing of Notices of Violations (NOV's) when
permit conditions are not followed.
As stated in Industrial User Permit #1013 Part II; General Conditions; (2) (b), "Monitoring results and flow information
obtained by the permittee shall be reported on forms specified by the City. The laboratory data, Chain of Custody, and
Industrial Flow Monitor forms must be postmarked no later than the tenth day of the month, or delivered by hand, fax, or
email by the fifteenth day, following the month in which the samples were collected. If the permittee fails to submit the
reports on or before the due date, theresults obtained from the sampling event may be excluded for surcharge purposes."
The Industrial User Self -Monitoring Summary for the month of January 2018, which was due by February 15, 2018 was
received on February 26, 2018. According to TRU's Enforcement Response Plan, late reporting will result in the issuance
of a Notice of Violation.
Part I Specific Conditions (G) (10) of Industrial User Permit # 1013 states that "The continuous pH monitoring & recording
system shall be maintained in proper operating condition at all times. All such devices shall be installed, calibrated, and
maintained to ensure accuracy. Calibration of the system shall be performed per manufacturer's directions as often as
necessary to maintain correct pH readings at all times, with a minimum calibration frequency of once per month."
On November 6, 2018 Sunshine's pH meter was reading more than 1 s.u. different from TRU's reading. This suggests that
the pH meter and the alarm system is not being maintained in proper operating condition at all times.
Sunshine Uniform Service, Inc. is required to submit in writing, within fourteen days, corrective action taken to achieve
compliance regarding both of these issues.

Subject: Long Creek WWTP Power Outage, NPDES # NC0020184
Dear Mr. Tuvia:
Per your direction during our phone conversation on May 29, 2018, below are additional details regarding a
power outage at the Long Creek WWTP, On May 291t`, the Long Creek WWTP experienced a power outage
caused by the failure of an insulator in a secondary substation at the plant that shorted out power at the
substation. This prevented both the utility power and the generator power from feeding the plant. The City's
Electrical Division responded promptly, identified the problem and quickly got power restored. The power
was off at the plant for approximately three hours (4am- 4:30am, lam- 9:30am). City staff stored
wastewater flow at the Catawba pump station and pushed flow into the emergency storage basin at Long
Creek.
Due to this event the plant experienced a small spill of approximately 50 gallons at the denitrification basin.
At the main lift pump station, the flow backed up and approximately 700-800 gallons ran out on to the
grassy area that surrounds the grit collection area. This volume was returned to the plant influent stream
once power was restored. No wastewater reached surface water during this event.
The Influent and Effluent samplers were off during this outage, but since there was no flow passing through
the plant during this period, staff is confident that the samples collected are representative of the
wastewater flow that day.
Should you have any questions, or if I may be of assistance, please contact me at 704-214-9142 or
[e-mail].

Ori,
I am following up from our conversation this afternoon concerning the estimated 50 gallon Micro-C glycerin leak at Long
Creek WWTP.
On 7/10/17 at 12:30 pm it was discovered that a Micro-C glycerin chemical line had developed a leak. The leak was
halted immediately and repairs were completed to the chemical line.
The grassy area of leak had absorbent material applied to excess glycerin which will be cleaned up and disposed of
properly.
No Micro-C glycerin reached any storm drain or waterway.
Attached are photos of the pipe and area.
Thank you,
Doug Barker

Good Evening Ori,
Attached are two photos of the East aeration basin leak I talked to you about earlier today 4/11/17.
As was mentioned in our conversation once the leak was discovered, the aeration basin was isolated and we started
pumping basin down immediately to stop leak.
The operators cleaned up the affected area and lime and straw was applied.
It was estimated that 100 gallons leaked onto the ground behind the East aeration basin, with no water or sludge
reaching any storm drain or waterway.

Good Morning Mr. Tuvia,
I am following up with this email after speaking to Mr. Wes Bell of the DEQ Mooresville office on 11/23/2016 at 1:15 PM
concerning an Effluent Reuse water leak we had at the Long Creek WWTP.
Repairs were made to a water storage tank that is part of our Effluent Reuse system.
Once repairs were completed and the water system was charged. It was discovered that a gate valve on the tank had
developed a leak causing 250 gallons of Effluent Reuse water to leak to a nearby storm drain.
The leak was halted immediately and repairs were started on the valve.
The area around the water tank was cleaned up and the creek were the storm drain discharges into Long Creek was
checked and no issues were found.
If you have any further questions or if I may be of assistance, please contact me at 704-866-6991 or

Long Creek WWTP (NPDES permit #NC0020184)
Dear Mr. Bell,
Two Rivers Utilities is in receipt of the above referenced Notice of Deficiency from your March 4, 2014 inspection
of the Long Creek WWTP regarding the collection of the Toxicity sample by means of a time -based composite. An
additional effluent sampler had been utilized to collect the sample volume used for toxicity analysis that was not
connected to the flow meter signal.
Since this inspection, Two Rivers Utilities will be utilizing flow based composites for all toxicity analyses. The
required toxicity samples collected at the end of March were all flow -based composites collected along with the
other standard required samples by the permanent effluent sampler. In order to allow for placement of an
additional flow -based composite sampler for toxicity testing on the effluent, Two Rivers has issued a purchase
order to Fortech Inc. for purchase of a new duel output flow meter and to add an additional flow signal cable.
From this point forward, Two Rivers will collect all toxicity samples through a second sampler in a flow -
proportional manner by utilizing this connection.
A copy of the scope of work from Fortech for the new flow meter and cable are being included with this response
letter.
Two Rivers Utilities regrets this instance and will make every effort moving forward to maintain compliance with
regards to our permit requirements. If I can be of any assistance please feel free to contact me any time at 704-
866-6991 or [e-mail] or contact the Long Creek ORC, Michael Graham at 704-214-9142 or

Subject: NPDES Electronic Reporting Requirements and
Sixty Day Notice of Minor Modification of the NPDES Permit
Long Creek WWTP
NPDES Permit Number: NCO020184
Dear NPDES Permittee:
WQROS
MOORESVILLE REGIONAL OFFICE
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, instead of on
paper. 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, instead of on paper.
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.
For more information on EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule, visit
http://www2.epa.goy/compliance/final-national-pollutant-discharge-elimination-system-npdes-
electronic-reporting-rule. For more information on electronic reporting to NC DWR, visit
http://deg.nc.goy/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr/npdes-electronic-reporting or contact Vanessa
Manuel at 919-807-6392 or via email at [e-mail].

Sixty Days' Notice of Minor Modification of the Subject NPDES Permit
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 outlined in your existing permit. To
bring your permit up-to-date with the new reporting requirements, this letter serves to notify you that in
sixty days your NPDES permit will be modified to incorporate the new electronic reporting requirements.
The modification will require electronic reporting in place of paper -based reporting. Electronic reporting
will be required beginning as indicated above for Phases 1 and 2 reporting. Please attach the enclosed
NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Part 111 —Addendum to your permit. This permit modification becomes
effective on July 1, 2016.
All other terms and conditions in the original permit remain unchanged and in full effect. This
modification is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the
Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
dated October 15, 2007.
If any parts contained in this modification are unacceptable to you, then you have the right to file a
petition for a contested case with the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty (30) days following
receipt of this letter. This petition must conform to the requirements of Chapter 150E of the North
Carolina General Statutes. Petitions must be timely filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, Post
Office Drawer 11666, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604. If you do not file a petition within the required time,
the agency decision shall be final and binding. If you have questions concerning this permit modification,
please contact Tom Belnick at telephone number 919-807-6390.

Wes,
As per our discussion yesterday.
On Friday December 11, 2015, after completing the repair of a potable water line leak at the chemical building, it was
noted that there was still water leaking out from under the chemical building. There was a hole already in place from the
potable water line repair and it was capturing this water. Plant staff put a submersible pump the hole to pump water
back into the plant until it could be determined where the water was coming from. At first, it was thought that with all
the recent rainfall and the potable water leak that it was excess water that was still leaking out from under the building.
After further investigation it was determined that an effluent reuse water line was also leaking from under the building.
This line was dug up and capped off stopping the leak. These repairs were made on 12/14/2015.
It is also noted that the caustic tank is leaking into the containment area (project underway to replace tank) and some
leaked into the building. When the potable water line ruptured, it came up through the floor in the building and some
residual caustic ran out of the building into the yard. The dirt was removed and fresh clean dirt was put in its place with
grass seed and straw placed over the entire area.
All water line repairs and caustic clean up were completed 12/15/2015. As per your direction, this is being noted in the
Storm Water Pollution Prevention Plan.
If you need any further information please let me know.
Thanks,

Wes,
Per our conversation on 01/29/2015, there was approximately 300 gallons of treated effluent reuse water to enter the
storm drain at the Long Creek WWTP. This was due to an underground effluent reuse line breaking, thus causing the
spill. The reuse water was shut off in the area until the repairs can be made later this week.
The Stormwater Plan will be updated to reflect this spill.
If you need any further information or have any questions please let me know.

into storm drain at the Long Creek WWTP. This was due to a reuse water line that froze and busted from extremely cold
temperatures. The line was repaired and extra heat tracing was placed on this line until the current heat tracing can be
evaluated.
The storm water plan will be updated to reflect this recent spill.
If you need any further information or have any questions, please let me know.

Wes,
Per our conversation on 01/06/2015 concerning the slug load that enter the Long Creek WWTP.
The plant received a slug of heavy white foam on 01/06/2015 at approximately 1330 in the afternoon. The foam caused
issues in the Influent wet well, causing the ultrasonic level indicator not to work and the Main lift pumps had to be run
manually for a couple of hours. We also experienced foam in the aeration basins. We took slide samples of the
microorganisms and they appeared alive but very sluggish. The Ammonia samples taken the next day from the aeration
basin were slightly elevated but still at a 1 mg/I or lower leaving the basin. We have not seen any impacts on our Effluent
and the plant seems to have recovered well.
Pretreatment's investigation turned up the source of the slug, I have attached a copy of the investigation report along
with a copy of the MSDS of the chemical used.
Pretreatment is continuing to work with this company to ensure that this doesn't occur again.
If you have any questions or need any further information, please contact me at 704-214-9142 or Janet Maddox at 704-

Investigation of Foam at Long Creek WWTP Influent
On 1-6-15, at approximately 2:30, 1 (Brian Ramsey) was informed by the Pretreatment Supervisor (Janet
Maddox) that there was a significant amount of foam coming into the influent to Long Creek. At 1450
hours a visual inspection of the outfall lines was performed. At 1500 hours, after finding foam in the
Long Creek South line, Brian and Cory Fredell (operator) left the plant to perform an investigation in
accordance with WPR-0100.600—Slug Load Investigation Procedure.
• Marietta Outfall at Bulb Avenue —1535 — Foam found floating in manhole. Milanco discharges
into this manhole. Michael, Milanco Representative met with Brian and Cory at the manhole.
To determine which line was Milanco's discharge, Michael advised he would flush dye down the
line. The dye helped determine that the top invert was Milanco's line. Michael advised Milanco
will pressure clean totes approximately 2 or 3 times per month. Most totes come from their
facility and was confident none of their totes contain contaminants that would cause foaming.
Michael flushed de-foamer to help rid the manhole and line of any residual foam.
Follow-up Investigation 1-7-15
• 1230 hours Brian Ramsey arrived at Bulb Street Outfall. Upon arrival, I checked the manhole
that Milanco discharges into and flow was being discharged. There was a substantial amount of
foam in the bottom of the manhole. A sample was taken from the Milanco discharge line and
upon agitation; the sample immediately began to foam.
• 1320 hours samples from Milanco discharge was collected and preserved for analysis. I (Brian
Ramsey) spoke with Michael, the representative for Milanco. Advised Michael of the issues that
Long Creek WWTP was experiencing and asked him to cease discharging for the remainder of
the day given there was a more substantial amount of foam being discharged from Milanco.
Michael agreed to stop cleaning totes for the remainder of the day.
Follow-up Investigation 1-8-15
• 0930 hours I (Brian Ramsey) received phone call from Everette who is owner of Milanco.
Everette advised the cleaning solution they use is a floor scrubber cleaner and has high foaming
agents. Everette advised all cleaning would cease until a more environmentally friendly, less
foaming cleaner could be purchased.
• 1300 hours I (Brian Ramsey) went to Milanco and obtained SDS for cleaning solution that had
been discharged to Long Creek.
Photos and SDS are attached.

Land Application Permit WQ0001793
Dear Ms. Schutte,
As reported to you by David Shellenbarger at 2:40 p,m. on Monday November 10, 2014, there was a runoff
of approximately 500 gallons of combined biosolids and internal reuse water at approximately 9:45 that
morning at our Long Creek WWTP. We estimate the runoff was 50 gallons of biosolids/grit, and 450 gallons
of internal reuse water. The internal reuse water is the treatment plant's final treated effluent that has
been reused instead of discharged.
This runoff resulted from the operation of a temporary belt press by our contractor (EMA Resources) which
was pressing material from the cleanout of one of our digesters. EMA employees were using the reuse
water to unclog a hose that had clogged up with grit and trash. Water and debris from this clean out
process did not make it into an old clarifier that had been designated for that purpose.
All storm drains around the project had been barricaded with straw bales prior to the start of this project.
The runoff water from the press area ran along a curb, through the straw bales into a storm drain and then
out through rip -rap onto the grass. Most of the solid material was filtered out by the straw around the
storm drain before reaching the grass. The runoff stopped approximately 375 feet from its start and pooled
up alongside a gravel road at the facility. None of the discharge reached the creek.
Two Rivers Utilities staff responded immediately, barricaded the runoff and collected an estimated 300
gallons of the runoff water using trash pumps and fed it back into the treatment process. Lime and straw
were applied to the area.
Issue was discussed with management at EMA Resources. Any future such projects will include an earthen
barricade around the pressing area. A plastic lined basin will also be included to capture any water or

material washed out of any hoses. This project has finished and EMA has cleaned up the area around the
press.
A map and photos of this runoff and cleanup activities are attached. TRU sincerely regrets this issue. Please
contact me at 704-214-9148 or [e-mail] if I may provide any additional information
regarding this incident.

Public Water Supply (PWS) Section
Date: May 8, 2014
RE: Final Draft Environmental Impact Statement
Long Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant
The PWS Section has completed the review of the Final Draft Environmental Impact
Statement for the Long Creek Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant. Our comments are
listed below and primarily address issues associated with the City of Belmont's drinking
water intake which is located approximately two (2) miles downstream of the preferred
Alternative 2 discharge.
In the second paragraph on page 5-36, reference is made to figure 5.10g. The
figure is supposed to reference water supply intake locations. We were unable to
locate the water supply intakes on this map. This information would be helpful for
other agencies reviewing this document.
2. Appendix K: Speculative Effluent Limits. The model results establish speculative
effluent limits for 12 MGD and 25 MGD flows. Of these two flows, what is the
percentage of flow associated with the discharge in relation to the 7Q10 flow in the
Catawba River? Does the model predict what the speculative concentrations may
be after dilution 2 miles downstream at the City of Belmont's drinking water intake?
3. Section .0403 of the NC Rules Governing Public Water Systems (RGPWS) requires
the construction of a pre -settling reservoir when there are wide and rapid variations
in turbidity, bacterial concentrations or chemical qualities or where the following raw
water quality standards are not met: turbidity — 150 NTU, coliform bacteria —
3000/100 ml, fecal coliform bacteria — 300/100 ml and color 75 CU. Will the water
quality of the raw water at the point of withdrawal at the City of Belmont's drinking
water intake meet these standards? Will there be any significant changes in raw
water chemical quality that the City of Belmont's conventional water treatment plant
may not be able to treat adequately?

4. The City of Belmont has experienced elevated THMs in their distribution system at
times. Will there be an expected increase in TOC levels in the raw water that may
contribute to an elevated formation of THMs at the water treatment plant?
5. Has any considerations been given to possible USEPA emerging contaminants
(pharmaceuticals) in the waste stream associated with this discharge? Will the
conventional water treatment plant at Belmont be able to adequately treat for these
emerging contaminants if present in the raw water at elevated levels?
In Section .0202 of the RGPWS, reference is made that a water supply source be
protected from sources of pollution. The PWS Section has historically concurred with
NPDES discharges located a minimum of five (5) miles upstream from a drinking water
supply intake. However, in this case, the proposed discharge is located approximately 2
miles upstream from the City of Belmont's drinking water intake. We feel it is necessary to
address the items listed above as part of the review process.
If you have any questions, please call me at [phone].

Subject: City of Gastonia Long Creek 5/5/2014 WWTP Spill
Wes,
Per our conversation yesterday, approximately 50 gallons of water spilled from an abandoned drain line and ran into a
nearby storm drain. I believe that most of the water that ran into the storm drain was potable water, we had flushed
this line several times in the past week so we could video the line. The majority of the water was pump out of the storm
water catch basin back into the plant.
This was a result of finishing up a the project to properly abandon this drain line, and we were in the process of filling
this line with concrete when the plug blew out causing the overflow.
During this project we discovered that this drain line was connected to all three primary clarifiers and it was supposed to
have been abandoned during the plant expansion. We believe that the valves were shut during the expansion and have
now failed causing the recent issues. We properly capped all the lines at the clarifiers and filled the entire drain line with
concrete. We are done with this project and don't expect to have anymore issues with this line.
If you have any questions or concerns please let me know.

Subject: City of Gastonia Long Creek WWTP Spill
Wes,
As per our conversations earlier today regarding our spill. Approximately 25 gallons of wastewater from our primary
clarifier overflowed from an old abandoned drain line and ran into a storm drain catch basin (see explanation below).
The storm drain catch basin was filled with mud and prevented the wastewater from draining out, we had our vac truck
clean out all the wastewater and mud in the catch basin, preventing anything from reaching surface water.
Last week we thought that the source of the leak was from the old drain line from #3 primary clarifier to the raw sludge
well. We plugged the old drain line at the bottom of the hill in front of the main lift station and the old drain line
between the #3 primary clarifier and the raw sludge well last week. This caused the line to fill up and run out of an old
manhole behind the raw sludge building between 5:30 and 6:00 this morning into the storm drain mentioned above.
Today we have identified that an improperly abandoned drain line off of #2 Primary clarifier to the old main lift wet well
is the source of our leaks. We have a tentative schedule to expose and properly abandon this line on 4/28/2014. We
have installed a temporary plug in the line at the man hole that overflowed this morning and a pump to pump out any
water that may appear. We are also taking #2 Primary clarifier out of service.
If you need any further information or have any questions please let me know.

Two Rivers Utilities (TRU) is proudly
owned and operated by the City of
Gastonia and is the regional provider for
water and wastewater services in the
Gaston County area.
ISO 14001 CERTIFIED

WHAT IS WASTEWATER?
Wastewater or sewage is water, plus
whatever is added, that drains from your
home's sinks, toilets, bathtubs and washing
machines. People also create wastewater
at work. Offices, businesses and
manufacturers create not only domestic
wastewater but also can create wastewater
combined with the discharge associated
with a manufacturing process or a service.
Two Rivers Utilities has an extensive system
of pipes that collects both the domestic and
industrial wastewater and transports it to
one of three wastewater treatment facilities
operated by the Two Rivers Utilities (TRU).
Two Rivers Utilities
Wastewater Treatment Plants
The Eagle Road facility located on
Eagle Road in Cramerton, serves the Town
of Cramerton & the Town of Belmont's Eagle
Park Development.
The Crowders Creek facility, located on
South York Road, serves the southwestern
and western sections of Gastonia, all of
Bessemer City and Clover S.C., as well as
parts of Kings Mountain.
The Long Creek facility located on Old
Spencer Mountain Road Dallas serves the
northern, central and southeastern sections
of Gastonia, the Town of Ranlo and portions
of Gaston County.
WHAT DO WASTEWATER
TREATMENT PLANTS DO?
Wastewater treatment plants clean our wastewater
and prevent contaminants from getting into the
environment. When wastewater enters a treatment
facility, bar screens catch and remove trash and large
objects. Grit chambers use gravity to remove heavy
particles like gravel, seeds and coffee grounds.
Wastewater then flows through large settling tanks
called clarifiers that allow any remaining heavy parti-
cles to settle to the bottom. After the primary clarifiers,
the liquid portion flows into anaerobic, anoxic and
oxic basins where the environment is controlled to
encourage naturally occurring microorganisms to con-
sume the pollutants.
The wastewater then flows into final clarifiers where
the microorganisms settle out and some are returned
to treat additional wastewater. The flow then goes
through filters and then is disinfected before the
treated water is returned to the creek or river. The sol-
ids, which have been removed from the water portion
in the primary and secondary clarifiers, are pumped to
digesters that are heated to provide biological treat-
ment of solids that are turned into organic matter
known as "biosolids." These biosolids are used to
fertilize state -permitted farmland. After treatment, the
Crowders Creek plant discharges to Crowders Creek
while the Eagle Road and Long Creek plants dis-
charge to the South Fork Catawba River.
TRU's Utilities Maintenance Division maintains pump
stations, collection system pipes and lines in order to
prevent sanitary sewer overflows (SSO's) and keep
wastewater flowing through the collection system to
the treatment plants for treatment. During the report
year, 168 miles of sewer mains were cleaned, 14 miles
were videoed for both state mainte-
nance and problems and 126 miles
of outfall utility easements were in- r"
spected or mowed. &_
Grease is the leading cause of
sewer blockages and overflows.
Help keep grease out of the drain.
For more information, please contact
the Fats, Oil & Grease Program Co-
ordinator at 704-854-6669 or
[e-mail].
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY
Two Rivers Utilities three wastewater
treatment plants have permit limits and
monitoring requirements regulated by the
North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDENR). NCDENR
also requires all North Carolina wastewater
collection and treatment systems to annually
report to its customers all sanitary sewer
overflows (SSOs), violations of state -issued
permit limits and reporting requirements. The
following overflows and violations occurred
from July 2012 through June 2013:

RE: Notice of Violation
Tracking #NOV-2011-MV-0191
Long Creek WWTP - NPDES Permit #NC0020184
Gaston County
Dear Ms. Allocco:
Two Rivers Utilities received the above referenced Notice of Violation regarding a missing result for ADMI Color on the
Long Creek WWTP effluent during the 3rd quarter of 2011 and wishes to respond as follows. After looking through our
records, we have determined that a sample was collected for this analysis but due to an oversight at our internal
laboratory the analysis was never performed.
New data management software that Two Rivers Utilities has purchased and is currently implementing includes a
laboratory sample management component which we are optimistic will help avoid this type of mistake. We have
performed an additional analysis of Long Creek WWTP's effluent for ADMI Color in the 4ch quarter of 2011 since the
analysis was missed in the 3`d quarter.
We sincerely apologize for this error and every effort will be made to prevent a repeat of this type of oversight in the
future. If you have any questions or concerns about this, please contact me at 704-842-5106 or
[e-mail].
Sincerely,

Subject: Long Creek WWTP Effluent Chlorine Issue
Dear Mr. Lesley:
As reported to you on December 8, 2011, there was a temporary interruption of chlorine feed at
the Long Creek WWTP (permit # NC0020184) on that day. Maintenance staff was replacing the
chlorine booster pump, along with a small amount of associated piping. In order to avoid effluent
discharge during the pump installation, which was expected to be brief, Operations staff was
backwashing tertiary filters, which uses effluent reuse water. Upon pressurization of the system at
approximately 2:00 pm, the piping separated. Staff re -glued the piping, but it failed repeatedly.
Operations staff could not backwash tertiary filters any longer, as the holding tank for backwash
water was full. At approximately 2:20 pm, Operations staff began redirecting flow within the
treatment plant into empty primary and secondary clarifiers to stop the effluent flow while
Maintenance staff continued to work on the booster pump piping. At approximately 2:50 pm, the
piping issues were corrected and the chlorine feed was turned back on. At 3:00 pm, Operations
staff began using DPD packets to conduct process control checks for residual chlorine at various
points in the chlorine contact chamber. There was a slight pink color at the effluent end of the
contact chamber, with the pink color and amount of chlorine increasing as samples were checked
progressively closer to the influent end of the contact chamber.
An Effluent Fecal Coliform sample was collected at 3:25 pm. The laboratory analyzed the sample,
however the fecal plates were not read within the 24 +/- 2 hour incubation timeframe; they were
read approximately 18 hours late. The sample result was 355 colonies/100 mL and will be
appropriately qualified on the DMR. An Effluent Residual Chlorine sample was collected at 4:12
pm, with a result of <20 ug/L.

In order to avoid future such occurrences, installation of an additional chlorine booster pump will
be investigated. If there are any questions or additional information is needed, please contact me
at 704-866-6726 or [e-mail].

Subject: Long Creek WWTP Contain .d Spill
Dear Ms. Hood:
As reported to you on November 17, 2011, due to failure of an uninterruptible power supply unit there was a power
loss at the main lift pump station at the Long Creek WWTP (permit # NC0020184) resulting in a temporary back-up of
influent wastewater that was contained in the preliminary treatment area and subsequently fed into the treatment
plant. The power outage occurred November 16, 2011 at 6:00 pm. Plant staff immediately stopped pumps at the
upstream Catawba Pump Station, where emergency storage basins are present, called the Operator in Responsible
Charge, David Morgan, and called the Maintenance Electrician, both of whom reported to the plant.
Power to the pumps was ceased due to a failure of the uninterruptible power supply that feeds the PLC panel for the
main lift pumps. The uninterruptible power supply was originally installed due to a delay when switching from utility to
standby generator power. This delay condition no longer exists, so staff removed the uninterruptible power supply and
wired the incoming power directly to the PLC panel to avoid this failure in the future. The preliminary treatment area is
bowl shaped, thus the influent flow was contained in that area. There is a grass covered portion of the area, which is
an out of service grit chamber that has been backfilled. The concrete structure of the former grit chamber is still in
place, with a drain pipe routing any wastewater that seeped into the ground into the treatment plant. It is estimated
that 3,000 - 5,000 gallons were contained and fed into the plant when power was restored at 6:45 pm.

Location of former grit chamber

There was an estimated 100 gallons of digester supernatant that sprayed onto the ground at Long Creek WWTP last
night (4/19/11). Staff checked storm drains to verify none reached the drains and we put down lime and straw. We
realize no formal spill report, etc. is needed since this is under the 1,000 gallon limit, but wanted to make you aware of
it.
Please let us know if there are any questions or further information is needed.

Subject: Electrical PMs- Gastonia
Wes,
Wanted to follow up with you on our discussion last month about performing electrical system preventative
maintenance and rescheduling some Influent and Effluent samples for the four plants the City owns or operates. We
originally planned to do the PMs on April 29th and samples with short holding times were collected on April 28th. There
was a rain event that prevented the PMs from being done at Crowders on April 29th, so it was rescheduled. A lot more
rain accumulated than had been predicted. The PMs were rescheduled and done on May 20th,with some samples being
collected on May 19th. Power was out to the Lab building for about 2.5 hours, so it worked out very well to reschedule
samples. A note is accompanying the DMRs for April and May.
Four major breakers at Crowders were found to have faults and we are working on getting three replaced and one
repaired. Two bad breakers have been found so far at Long Creek. Hopefully Long Creek will be completed today and
then Eagle Road needs to be done. The PMs require a lot of planning and are a bit nerve wracking, but it pays to find the
problems before there is a failure.

Service Initiative
In an effort to support
educational awareness
and learning, the
Crowders Creek and
Long Creek Wastewater
Treatment Facilities are
participants in the
National Wildlife
Federation's Wildlife And
Industry Together (WAIT)
program. This program
encourages businesses
to create natural habitats
for plants and wildlife
using unused land at
their facilities.
The goal is to establish
protected native wildlife
habitats and provide an
educational resource for
the entire community.
The Crowders Creek
Wastewater facility has
two wildflower meadows,
blue bird boxes and
wood duck boxes. The
facility obtained official

ANNUAL WASTEWATER
SYSTEM PERFORMANCE
REPORT
20 1 2-201 3
Two Rivers Utilities (TRU) is proudly
owned and operated by the City of
Gastonia and is the regional provider for
water and wastewater services in the
Gaston County area.
ISO 14001 CERTIFIED

WHAT IS WASTEWATER?
Wastewater or sewage is water, plus
whatever is added, that drains from your
home's sinks, toilets, bathtubs and washing
machines. People also create wastewater
at work. Offices, businesses and
manufacturers create not only domestic
wastewater but also can create wastewater
combined with the discharge associated
with a manufacturing process or a service.
Two Rivers Utilities has an extensive system
of pipes that collects both the domestic and
industrial wastewater and transports it to
one of three wastewater treatment facilities
operated by the Two Rivers Utilities (TRU).
Two Rivers Utilities
Wastewater Treatment Plants
The Eagle Road facility located on
Eagle Road in Cramerton, serves the Town
of Cramerton & the Town of Belmont's Eagle
Park Development.
The Crowders Creek facility, located on
South York Road, serves the southwestern
and western sections of Gastonia, all of
Bessemer City and Clover S.C., as well as
parts of Kings Mountain.
The Long Creek facility located on Old
Spencer Mountain Road Dallas serves the
northern, central and southeastern sections
of Gastonia, the Town of Ranlo and portions
of Gaston County.
WHAT DO WASTEWATER
TREATMENT PLANTS DO?
Wastewater treatment plants clean our wastewater
and prevent contaminants from getting into the
environment. When wastewater enters a treatment
facility, bar screens catch and remove trash and large
objects. Grit chambers use gravity to remove heavy
particles like gravel, seeds and coffee grounds.
Wastewater then flows through large settling tanks
called clarifiers that allow any remaining heavy parti-
cles to settle to the bottom. After the primary clarifiers,
the liquid portion flows into anaerobic, anoxic and
oxic basins where the environment is controlled to
encourage naturally occurring microorganisms to con-
sume the pollutants.
The wastewater then flows into final clarifiers where
the microorganisms settle out and some are returned
to treat additional wastewater. The flow then goes
through filters and then is disinfected before the
treated water is returned to the creek or river. The sol-
ids, which have been removed from the water portion
in the primary and secondary clarifiers, are pumped to
digesters that are heated to provide biological treat-
ment of solids that are turned into organic matter
known as "biosolids." These biosolids are used to
fertilize state -permitted farmland. After treatment, the
Crowders Creek plant discharges to Crowders Creek
while the Eagle Road and Long Creek plants dis-
charge to the South Fork Catawba River.
TRU's Utilities Maintenance Division maintains pump
stations, collection system pipes and lines in order to
prevent sanitary sewer overflows (SSO's) and keep
wastewater flowing through the collection system to
the treatment plants for treatment. During the report
year, 168 miles of sewer mains were cleaned, 14 miles
were videoed for both state mainte-
nance and problems and 126 miles
of outfall utility easements were in-
spected&,�
or mowed.
Grease is the leading cause of
sewer blockages and overflows.
Help keep grease out of the drain.
For more information, please contact
the Fats, Oil & Grease Program Co-
ordinator at 704-854-6669 or
[e-mail].
COMPLIANCE SUMMARY
Two Rivers Utilities three wastewater
treatment plants have permit limits and
monitoring requirements regulated by the
North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDENR). NCDENR
also requires all North Carolina wastewater
collection and treatment systems to annually
report to its customers all sanitary sewer
overflows (SSOs), violations of state -issued
permit limits and reporting requirements. The
following overflows and violations occurred
from July 2012 through June 2013:

Emergency Storage Basin Piping
Dear Mr. Parker:
1922.026 (1)
2009
The City of Gastonia is preparing to undertake piping improvements at the Long Creek
Wastewater Treatment Plant that will allow use of the old polishing pond for emergency
storage. The work does not alter the Plant's operation but it does provide additional
protection from spills in the event of a catastrophic failure at the Plant.
When we spoke several months ago, you advised that an Authorization to Construct would
not be required but that you would like to see plans for the construction before work
begins. Please find attached a copy of the plans for you use.
The City is looking forward to beginning the project soon. If you have any questions or we
can provide additional information, please let us know.
Yours very truly,
WIL S ENGINEE S

Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report for the inspection conducted at the
subject facility on August 12, 2009 by Ms. Donna Hood of this Office. Please inform the facility's Operator -in -
Responsible Charge of our findings by forwarding a copy of the enclosed report.
This inspection was performed to confirm the repairs made to the wastewater plant as stated in your letter
sent to this Office dated July 7, 2009 provided by Ms. Stephanie Scheringer, Asst. Wastewater Division
Manager- Operations. All repairs were found to have been made as described in the letter. Normal repair
issues of aging concrete were observed during the follow-up inspection and Ms. Scheringer is aware of them.
The plant appeared to be operating very well on the day of the inspection and Mr. David Morgan as well as the
other operations staff should be commended for their efforts. Please see the enclosed pictures to confirm the

Section D Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
November 21, 2008:
This Office received a complaint about Long Creek WWTP ( NC0020184) on November 21, 2008. The
complainant levied the following allegations.-
1. The secondary clarifier was leaking
2. Solids were seen in the effluent static aerator
3. A maintenance shop drain is discharging to the stormdrain
4. OSHA is investigating an elevator collapse
5. Cross connection with drinking water well/no backflow preventer
6. Secondary containment basin has oil
7. Composite samples were collected even though the composite sampler was turned off
8. An unreported sludge leak discharged onto the ground
November 26, 2008:
A compliance evaluation inspection was performed by Ms. Donna Hood and Mr. Wes Bell, of this Office, on
11.26.2008. The following conditions were found at the WWTP during the site inspection:
1. A leak at the secondary clarifier
2. No solids build up was seen in/around the static aerator and expected amounts of foam were seen in
the static aerator
3. The maintenance sink is not in use and does not discharge to the stormdrain.
4. No elevator collapse had been documented. The lift station elevator does not work and will be
expensive to repair. The elevator inspection has been performed by the NC Department of Labor, who is
handling the situation.
5. A potential cross connection has been handled with the installation of a RPZ.
6. Oil contaminated soil was observed.
7. Due to the vagueness of the complaint pertaining to sampling collection and documentation, associated
records were not reviewed during the inspection.
8. A leak at the DAF unit
9. A leak at the old aeration basin
August 12, 2009:
On July 7, 2009 Ms.Stephanie Scheringer notified this Office that all repairs had been completed. A
follow-up inspection by Ms. Donna Hood on 8.12.2009 showed that all repairs had been completed as
stated in the letter. The entire facility appeared well maintained and operated at the time of the inspection.

What is Wastewater? What Do Wastewater Treatment Plants Do? Compliance Summary
Wastewater or sewage is water plus whatever
is added, which drains from your home's sinks,
toilets, bathtubs and washing machines.
People also create wastewater at work.
Offices, businesses and manufacturers
produce wastewater associated with a
manufacturing process or a service.
The City of Gastonia has an extensive system
of pipes which collects both domestic and
industrial wastewater and transports it to one
of two wastewater treatment facilities operated
by the City of Gastonia.
The Crowders Creek facility, located on South
York Road, serves the southwestern and west-
ern sections of Gastonia, all of Bessemer City
and Clover S.C., as well as parts of Kings
Mountain.
The Long Creek facility located on Old
Spencer Mountain Road serves the northern,
central and southeastern sections of Gastonia
and portions of Gaston County including the
Town of Ranlo.
Collection System Maintenance
The Field Operations
Division maintains the
collection system pipes
and lines which keep
wastewater flowing to
the treatment plants for
clean up and in order
to prevent sanitary
sewer overflows.
Wastewater treatment plants clean our wastewater and
prevent contaminants from getting into the environment.
When wastewater enters a treatment facility, bar
screens catch and remove trash and large objects. Grit
chambers then remove heavy particles like gravel,
seeds and coffee grounds. Wastewater then flows
through large settling tanks called clarifiers that allow
any remaining heavy particles to settle to the bottom.
After the primary clarifiers, the liquid portion flows into
anaerobic, anoxic and oxic basins where naturally
occurring microorganisms consume the pollutants.
The wastewater then flows into final clarifiers where the
microorganisms settle out and are returned to the basins.
The flow now goes through filters and then is disin-
fected before the treated water is returned to the creek
or river. The solids, which have been removed from the
water portion, are pumped to digesters that are heated
to provide biological treatment of solids that are turned
into organic matter known as "biosolids." These biosol-
ids are used to fertilize state -permitted farmland. After
treatment, the Crowders Creek plant discharges the
cleaned water to Crowders Creek, while the Long Creek
plant discharges to the South Fork Catawba River. St.
Help Us Defeat
w
the Grease Goblin
Grease is a leading cause
of sewer blockages and
overflows. The Fats, Oil &
Grease Reduction
Program seeks to reduce
these occurrences by
educating the public on
how to prevent grease
from entering the sewer
system. Special emphasis
has been placed on food
service establishments, but we all need to do our part
to keep grease out of the sewer system. For more
information on our program, contact Tabitha Messer at
[phone] or [e-mail].
The City of Gastonia's two wastewater
treatment plants have permit limits and
monitoring requirements regulated by the
North Carolina Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (NCDENR). NCDENR
also requires all North Carolina Wastewater
Collection and Treatment Systems to annually
report to its customers all sanitary sewer
overflows (SSOs), violations of state -issued
permit limits and reporting requirements. The
following overflows and violations occurred
from July 2008 through June 2009.

Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report for the inspection conducted at the
subject facility on August 12, 2009 by Ms. Donna Hood of this Office. Please inform the facility's Operator -in -
Responsible Charge of our findings by forwarding a copy of the enclosed report.
This inspection was performed to confirm the repairs made to the wastewater plant as stated in your letter
sent to this Office dated July 7, 2009 provided by Ms. Stephanie Scheringer, Asst. Wastewater Division
Manager- Operations. All repairs were found to have been made as described in the letter. Normal repair
issues of aging concrete were observed during the follow-up inspection and Ms. Scheringer is aware of them.
The plant appeared to be operating very well on the day of the inspection and Mr. David Morgan as well as the
other operations staff should be commended for their efforts. Please see the enclosed pictures to confirm the
quality of the effluent as well as the condition of the receiving stream.
The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions concerning this report, please do
not hesitate to contact Ms. Hood or me at [phone].

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
November 21, 2008:
This Office received a complaint about Long Creek WWTP ( NC0020184) on November 21, 2008. The
complainant levied the following allegations:
1. The secondary clarifier was leaking
2. Solids were seen in the effluent static aerator
3. A maintenance shop drain is discharging to the stormdrain
4. OSHA is investigating an elevator collapse
5. Cross connection with drinking water well/no backflow preventer
6. Secondary containment basin has oil
7. Composite samples were collected even though the composite sampler was turned off
8. An unreported sludge leak discharged onto the ground
November 26, 2008:
A compliance evaluation inspection was performed by Ms. Donna Hood and Mr. Wes Bell, of this Office, on
11.26.2008. The following conditions were found at the WWTP during the site inspection:
1. A leak at the secondary clarifier
2. No solids build up was seen in/around the static aerator and expected amounts of foam were seen in
the static aerator
3. The maintenance sink is not in use and does not discharge to the stormdrain.
4. No elevator collapse had been documented. The lift station elevator does not work and will be
expensive to repair. The elevator inspection has been performed by the NC Department of Labor, who is
handling the situation.
5. A potential cross connection has been handled with the installation of a RPZ.
6. Oil contaminated soil was observed.
7. Due to the vagueness of the complaint pertaining to sampling collection and documentation, associated
records were not reviewed during the inspection.
8. A leak at the DAF unit
9. A leak at the old aeration basin
August 12, 2009:
On July 7, 2009 Ms.Stephanie Scheringer notified this Office that all repairs had been completed. A
follow-up inspection by Ms. Donna Hood on 8.12.2009 showed that all repairs had been completed as
stated in the letter. The entire facility appeared well maintained and operated at the time of the inspection.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
This Office received a complaint about Long Creek WWTP ( NC0020184) on November 21, 2008. The
complainant levied the following allegations:
1. The secondary clarifier was leaking
2. Solids were seen in the effluent static aerator
3. A maintenance shop drain is discharging to the stormdrain
4. OSHA is investigating an elevator collapse
5. Cross connection with drinking water well/no backflow preventer
6. Secondary containment basin has oil
7. Composite samples were collected even though the composite sampler was turned off
8. An unreported sludge leak discharged onto the ground
A compliance evaluation inspection was performed by Ms. Donna Hood and Mr. Wes Bell, of this Office, on
11.26.2008. The following conditions were found at the WWTP during the site inspection:
1. A leak at the secondary clarifier
2. No solids build up was seen in/around the static aerator and expected amounts of foam were seen in
the static aerator
3. The maintenance sink is not in use and does not discharge to the stormdrain.
4. No elevator collapse had been documented. The lift station elevator does not work and will be
expensive to repair. The elevator inspection has been performed by the NC Department of Labor, who is
handling the situation.
5. A potential cross connection has been handled with the installation of a RPZ.
6. Oil contaminated soil was observed.
7. Due to the vagueness of the complaint pertaining to sampling collection and documentation, associated
records were not reviewed during the inspection.
8. A leak at the DAF unit
9. A leak at the old aeration basin
The City of Gastonia has addressed the issues as follows:
1. Willis Engineering has been contracted to investigate the leak in the secondary clarifier
2. Willis Engineers has been contracted to investigate the leak at the old aeration basin
3. Willis Engineers has been contracted to repair the DAF unit
4. The contaminated soil was analyzed by Roger and Callcott in preparation for disposal.
5. A RPZ was installed and tested by Carruthers Horticultural Services to address backflow prevention.
The facility did not appear to be experiencing exceptional maintenance problems at the time of the
inspection. Correction of the maintenance concerns had begun prior to the unannounced inspection. The
effluent pipe was observed on the day of the inspection and the receiving stream (South Fork of the
Catawba River) appeared to be unaffected by the discharge.

Bidding Activities
Dear Larry:
As you know, the City of Gastonia received bids on October 9, 2008 for the Long Creek
WWTP DAF Tank Repair project. The lowest bid of $47,597 was received from Dun -Right
Services. Dun -Right Services did not include the required Contractor's Pre -Qualification
Safety Form and therefore should be considered a non -responsive bidder. The low
responsive bid of $46,000 was received from Commercial Resources Inc. Based on our
review of the bids, we recommend that the Long Creek WWTP DAF Tank Repair project
be awarded to Commercial Resources, Inc. If you have any questions or need additional
information, please let us know.
Yours very truly,
WILLIS ENGINEERS

Subject: Long Creek WWTP
Secondary Clarifier Leak Repair
Dear Stephanie:
1922.021 (1)
We have inspected the small leak in exterior wall of Secondary Clarifier #4 at Long Creek
WWTP. The leak appears to be coming from a joint in the concrete between the effluent
launder and wall of the clarifier and does not appear to be a threat to the structure. The
leak however has created a wet area around the north side of the clarifier which is a
nuisance for the Operators and should therefore be repaired.
For the repair, we recommend the use of epoxy injection. This work should be
accomplished by a qualified contractor specializing in this type of work. The City has
previously used the services of Bill Prestwood of PresTech, Inc. in Morganton. PresTech
is widely regarded as the top provider of these services and we therefore recommend you
contact them for the repairs.
If you have any questions or need any additional information please let us know.
Yours very truly,

Subject: Long Creek WWTP
Aeration Basin Leak Repairs
Dear Stephanie:
As requested, we have observed the leak from the old aeration basin at Long Creek
WWTP. On December 1, 2008 a City crew excavated a portion of the sidewalk and
revealed that the leak is likely coming from somewhere along the side wall of the aeration
basin, but its location cannot be exactly determined. The initial speculation was that the
leak was occurring where the aeration basin was expanded during a previous renovation
and project, but this does not appear to be the case. We therefore recommend additional
exploration be undertaken to determine the exact location of the leak.
The best method for determining the leak's location will be to either return the aeration
basin to service or fill it with clear water. City crews can then begin excavation along the
sidewalk in an attempt to determine the exact location. Once the location of the leak has
been determined we can better identify what repair techniques may be available.
We would be glad to assist in the process once the aeration basin is refilled. If you need
any assistance in the interim, please let me know.
Yours very truly,
WILLIS ENGINEERS

Donna,
Per our conversation on Dec. 4, 2008, below is the follow-up information you requested
relating to the Nov. 26, 2008 inspection of Long Creek WWTP performed by you and Mr.
Wes Bell.
* DAF Tank Leak. Attached is our engineer recommendation to award the bid. A
preconstruction meeting was held on Dec. 4, 2008 with the contractor and we are
currently coordinating schedules and will coordinate to try to avoid rainfall as well.
* Secondary Clarifier Leak. Attached is our engineer recommendation for repair.
Two of the four clarifiers are out of service and are being put into service so that
we can check all tanks for any additional leaks. After all four have been examined,
we will coordinate the repair and expect to have this completed by the end of February
depending on the contractor's schedule.
* Aeration Basin Leak. Attached is our engineer recommendation to fill the tank
in order to locate the leak. We filled the tank with chlorinated flushing water and
were able to locate a leak yesterday. We will proceed with a repair project, per
engineer recommendations.
* Potential Cross -Connection to Drinking Water Well. Attached is a copy of the
invoice for installation and certification of the backflow preventer that was
installed in the main lift building in October. To summarize, if the plant flushing
water system were out of service, potable water would need to be used for the seal
water on the main lift pumps.
* Oil Containment Area Spill. Attached is the Chain of Custody for the soil
sample that was collected in this area. As we discussed, upon receipt of the TCLP
results we will determine proper disposal of the soil, which was contaminated by oil
spillage.
Please let me know if you have any questions or need additional information.
Thank you,
Stephanie Scheringer

RE: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Follow -Up
Long Creek WWTP, NPDES Permit No. NCO020184
Dear Ms. Allocco,
Al. L
As requested in your January 14, 2009 letter detailing results of the November 26, 2008 inspection of Long Creek
Wastewater Treatment Plant, please find below information on repairs to the plant.
• Secondary clarifier leak. As per engineer recommendations, the small leak was repaired in March 2009
by epoxy injection.
• Oil contaminated soil. City staff collected samples of the soil on November 19, 2008 for volatile and
semi -volatile TCLP analysis. Upon receipt of the results, a contractor was used for disposal of the soil,
which occurred in March 2009.
• DAF unit leak. Per December 2007 engineer recommendations, the City contracted with an engineer to
design and oversee a repair to the tank. The bid was awarded to a contractor in October 2008. The
repair, which consisted of an applied coating that required dry weather to cure, was completed in June
2009.
• Old aeration basin leak. Per engineer recommendation, the leak was stopped with an interior repair
band in March 2009. After addressing this leak, two additional leaks have been discovered in this basin,
one of which has been repaired at this time. We are currently waiting for contractor recommendation
for repair of the remaining leak. The basin will remain out of service until the leak is repaired.
As noted in the inspection report, the other investigated items were not observed by the inspectors, thus follow-
up actions were not undertaken. We strive to operate and maintain the treatment plant such that permit
conditions are continuously met and all treatment units are in proper working order. Should you have any
questions or require additional information, please contact me at [e-mail] or 704-866-
6726.

Subject: Long Creek WWTP Chlorine Feed
Dear Ms. Hood:
DN-Surface Water K., .;L on
Per the voice mail I left for you on December 3, 2008 and our subsequent
conversation on December 4, 2008, below is the information you requested pertaining to
an issue encountered with the chlorine feed at the Long Creek Wastewater Treatment
Plant, NPDES permit # NC0020184.
On November 27, 2008 a Plant Operator discovered a problem with the chlorine
feed. He observed the vacuum gauge reading a high level of vacuum, noticed that the
valve on the full chlorine cylinder was closed and immediately opened the valve. Upon
doing so he observed that the vacuum reading automatically adjusted to a normal level
and he then checked the chlorine system to ensure chlorine was being fed. The Operator
did not check the primary chlorine feed tank prior to opening the valve on the full tank
and is not sure if chlorine was feeding or not, although the high vacuum reading would
seem to indicate a lack of chlorine feed. The Operator did not note this issue in the plant
logbook on Nov. 27, although he did bring the issue to the attention of management on
December 2, 2008, which was his next scheduled workday after the holiday. The effluent
fecal coliform result on the Nov. 26, 2008 sample was 12 colonies/100 mL, indicating
proper disinfection on that day. No fecal coliform sample was collected on Nov. 27,
2008 due to the Thanksgiving holiday. Actions being taken to address this situation are
as follows:
Integrate the chlorine and sulfur dioxide vacuum gauge readings, along with
an alarm, into the plant SCADA system. A purchase order was written for
this item on Nov. 6, 2008.
Post a written list of items Plant Operators are to check each time they enter
the Chlorine Building.

• Review the requirements for proper documentation in the plant logbook with
all Operations staff.
• Per your suggestion, we will perform a quick chlorine test with DPD powder
if future problems are encountered with either the chlorine or sulfur dioxide
feed systems. Instructions will be added to our procedures and all Operators
will be trained.
• Additionally, considering the lack of documentation in the plant logbook
when this issue was discovered we are undertaking appropriate disciplinary
actions with the Plant Operator involved.
Please let me know if further information is required and thank you for your help
with this issue.

What is Wastewater?
Wastewater or sewage is water, plus whatever is
added, that drains from your home's sinks, toilets,
bathtubs and washing machines. People also
create wastewater at work. Offices, businesses
and manufacturers create not only domestic
wastewater but also can create wastewater
combined with the discharge associated with a
manufacturing process or a service.
Where does all the
Wastewater go?
The City of Gastonia has an extensive system of
pipes that collects both the domestic and industrial
wastewater and transports it to one of two
wastewater treatment facilities operated by the City
of Gastonia.
The Long Creek facility located on Old Spencer
Mountain Road serves the northern, central and
southeastern sections of Gastonia and portions of
Gaston County including the Town of Ranlo.
The Crowders Creek facility, located on South York
Road, serves the southwestern and western
sections of Gastonia, all of Bessemer City and
Clover S.C., as well as parts of Kings Mountain.
What do Wastewater
Treatment Plants do?
Wastewater treatment plants clean our wastewater
and prevent contaminants from getting into the
environment. When wastewater enters a treatment
facility, bar screens catch and remove trash and
large objects. Grit chambers then remove heavy
particles like gravel, seeds and coffee grounds.
Wastewater then flows through large settling tanks
called clarifiers that allow any remaining heavy
particles to settle to the bottom. After the primary
clarifiers, the liquid portion flows into anaerobic,
anoxic and oxic basins where naturally occurring
microorganisms consume the pollutants.
The wastewater then flows into final clarifiers where
the microorganisms settle out and are returned to
the basins. The flow now goes through filters and
then is disinfected before the treated water is
returned to the creek or river. The solids, which
have been removed from the water portion, are
pumped to digesters that heat treat and turn it into
organic matter known as "biosolids." These
biosolids are used to fertilize state -permitted
farmland. After treatment, the Crowders Creek
plant discharges the cleaned water to Crowders
Creek, while the Long Creek plant discharges to the
South Fork Catawba River.
Compliance Summary
The City of Gastonia's two wastewater treatment
plants have permit limits and monitoring
requirements regulated by the North Carolina
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
(NCDENR). NCDENR also requires all North
Carolina Wastewater Collection and Treatment
Systems to annually report to its customers all
sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs), violations of
state -issued permit limits and reporting
requirements. Those listed below occurred from
July 2006 through June 2007.

program, revisited the site of the accident the following day and no further migration of
the biosolids was evident.
The City and our land application contractor will continue to stress the importance of
following safe driving practices to our transportation subcontractors. We will strive to
ensure they are consistently following all traffic regulations including replacement of any
subcontractors who consistently violate safe driving practices.
Some photos of the accident, spill and cleanup are included. We regret this incident and
appreciate your suggestions and assistance as we strive to operate our facilities in a
manner that promotes good environmental stewardship. If there are any questions we can
answer or any assistance we may provide, please call me at 704-842-5106 or email at

Dear Ms. Allocco:
We appreciate the professional NPDES and stormwater permit compliance inspections by
Ms. Basinger of our Crowders and Long Creek wastewater treatment plants on May 91h
and 111" as well as the Drompt follow uD with reports. We would like to respond to some
of the comments made in the reports to let you know how we are addressing them.
On the inspection report for the Long Creek WWTP (Permit #NC0020184) there
was the following comment:
Comment: The # 1 wet well has a grease mat covering one-half of the chamber.
Response: We have had the grease removed and have put that task on a schedule to
minimize any grease accumulation in the future.
2. On the inspection report for Crowders Creek WWTP (Permit #NC0074268) we are
responding to comments as follows:
Comment: DMRs were reviewed from the period of March 2006 through February 2007.
No violations were reported for the review period; however, two transcription errors were
documented for the upstream and downstream (B) DMRs for August 31, 2006. Please
amend the August 2006 DMR with corrections and resubmit.
° A ISO 14001 Certified
•"'- ftw anft Pure andCCean for our Fie(& anQStreams

PV
Response: Corrections to these reports have been made and revised reports were
submitted on May 21, 2007.
Comment: The influent pump station has three groundwater leaks.
Response: Willis Engineering has been contacted to investigate this issue and offer
recommendations on correction. Following receipt these recommendations, we will
pursue correction as deemed appropriate.
Comment: The divider between the caustic and alum storage has a large vertical crack in
the wall. This needs to be repaired immediately to prevent possible cross contamination
of chemicals if a spill should occur.
Response: This crack was promptly repaired following the audit.
3. In addition to the above mentioned comment on the chemical containment wall, the
inspection report for the Crowders Creek WWWTP Stormwater Permit (No.
NCG110055) had an additional comment regarding the outfalls.
Comment: The facility staff must ensure that all outfalls are located, accessible and
maintained.
Response: Access to these outfalls has been cleared and will be maintained regularly.
Outfalls will be clearly marked with posts and signs for easy identification.
We appreciate your suggestions and assistance as we strive to operate our facilities in a
manner that promotes good environmental stewardship. If there are any questions we can
answer or any assistance we may provide, please call me at 704-842-5106 or email at

Mike,
Attached is a letter from ITT Industries describing the proposed UV pilot using Wedeco
equipment at the Long Creek WWTP, NPDES Permit No. NC0020184. As we discussed by
phone earlier this week, Wedeco is interested in performing tests on their equipment
using filter effluent from the Long Creek treatment facility. The UV treated
wastewater will be recycled back through the filters after testing through the Wedeco
unit and then through the normal Long Creek chlorine disinfection, dechlorination, and
aeration processes prior to discharge to the S. Fork Catawba River.
The UV testing is expected to have no negative impacts on the quality of treated
wastewater discharged from the Long Creek treatment facility, and should, if anything,
improve the effluent quality.
Please let me know if there are any concerns, questions, or if you need any additional
information.
Thanks for your consideration,
Larry Cummings

This letter is intended to provide a brief description of the proposed protocol for a Low -Dose
Bioassay of the Wedeco ultraviolet disinfection pilot equipment at your Long Creek WWTP facility in
Dallas, NC.
It is our intention to locate a relatively small ultraviolet disinfection channel near your filter bed for the
purpose of evaluating of our product and technology using secondary wastewater as an influent and
a nonpathogenic microbe as the challenge organism. Wedeco would be accompanied by Black &
Veatch as a third party representative overseeing our activities and providing a formal report of the
findings.
We expect to circulate approximately 700gpm over an 8-10 hour period each day of pilot testing.
The process would begin with a submersible pump (or other motive liquid device) being installed in
the filter effluent, upstream of the weir. The water will be pumped through a static mixer, a series of
valves and a magnetic flow meter prior to entering our pilot channel. In the channel it will be further
mixed by a baffle plate and exposed to ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 254nm, resulting in a UV
dose of approximately 12-35mJ/cm2. Finally, the water will be discharged from our unit back into the
plant's filter influent.
Upstream of the pilot channel, we will introduce a nonpathogenic microorganism and an organic
media to alter the ultraviolet transmittance of the water. This is done to challenge our system at
different levels of disinfection requirements in varying degrees of water quality. Specific information
on the challenge organism and the organic media will be provided once selected, and prior to any
work commencing. Water samples will be taken at various points throughout the pilot system and
analyzed on a daily basis by a third party, state certified laboratory to determine the specific
ultraviolet dose the water has been exposed to, and the resultant log reduction of the challenge

microorganism. All of this can be performed with little or no disruption to your daily plant activities.
Wedeco will provide all operational equipment and staffing to perform the testing. You and your staff
are welcome to participate in the pilot testing and perform parallel water sample testing if you wish.
Wedeco and Black & Veatch will share the data collected from this test with you and we in turn would
hope that any testing done on site would be shared with us.
We tentatively plan to be at your facility for approximately 6-8 weeks encompassing installation,
functional testing, routine testing, on-line data collection and analysis, and equipment removal. The
actual live testing is expected to last for approximately 10-15 working days, depending on the initial
results.
We currently have two available windows to perform this analysis. Our first choice would begin June
25, 2007 with on-line testing commencing on July 16th. If this date range is not available or conflicts
with other plant operations, our secondary plan could begin September 10, 2007. Please advise at
your earliest convenience if the June date is acceptable.
Additional details were provided to you on Friday June 8, 2007 in the form of a proposal, draft
protocol, and set of representative drawings. Pease refer to those documents for additional
information and feel free to contact me directly with any further questions.

Mike,
Attached is a letter from ITT Industries describing the proposed UV pilot using Wedeco
equipment at the Long Creek WWTP, NPDES Permit No. NC0020184. As we discussed by
phone earlier this week, Wedeco is interested in performing tests on their equipment
using filter effluent from the Long Creek treatment facility. The UV treated
wastewater will be recycled back through the filters after testing through the Wedeco
unit and then through the normal Long Creek chlorine disinfection, dechlorination, and
aeration processes prior to discharge to the S. Fork Catawba River.
The UV testing is expected to have no negative impacts on the quality of treated
wastewater discharged from the Long Creek treatment facility, and should, if anything,
improve the effluent quality.
Please let me know if there are any concerns, questions, or if you need any additional
information.
Thanks for your consideration,
Larry Cummings

Dear Mr. Cummings,
This letter is intended to provide a brief description of the proposed protocol for a Low -Dose
Bioassay of the Wedeco ultraviolet disinfection pilot equipment at your Long Creek WWTP facility in
Dallas, NC.
It is our intention to locate a relatively small ultraviolet disinfection channel near your filter bed for the
purpose of evaluating of our product and technology using secondary wastewater as an influent and
a nonpathogenic microbe as the challenge organism. Wedeco would be accompanied by Black &
Veatch as a third party representative overseeing our activities and providing a formal report of the
findings.
We expect to circulate approximately 700gpm over an 8-10 hour period each day of pilot testing.
The process would begin with a submersible pump (or other motive liquid device) being installed in
the filter effluent, upstream of the weir. The water will be pumped through a static mixer, a series of
valves and a magnetic flow meter prior to entering our pilot channel. In the channel it will be further
mixed by a baffle plate and exposed to ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 254nm, resulting in a UV
dose of approximately 12-35mJ/cm2. Finally, the water will be discharged from our unit back into the
plant's filter influent.
Upstream of the pilot channel, we will introduce a nonpathogenic microorganism and an organic
media to alter the ultraviolet transmittance of the water. This is done to challenge our system at
different levels of disinfection requirements in varying degrees of water quality. Specific information
on the challenge organism and the organic media will be provided once selected, and prior to any

ultraviolet dose the water has been exposed to, and the resultant log reduction of the challenge

Sonja,
I'm sorry but I gave you some incorrect information earlier. That information is
correct for the effluent sampler, but not the influent. The influent sampler at Long
Creek receives a pulse every 5,000 gallons and has now been changed back to a sample
every 25 pulses.
Thanks,
David

Sonja,
During your inspection, you requested the volume of flow for one pulse received by
the samplers. We did not have the information at the time, but have since checked
on it. Our composite samplers at Long Creek WWTP receive a pulse every 7,000
gallons of flow. Both our samplers are supposed to be sampling after the same
number of pulses (23 currently), but at the time of your audit, one had apparently
gotten changed. They have been reset to be consistent now.
Thanks,
David

Thank you for sending us the draft of Long Creek WWTP's renewed NPDES permit.
We have reviewed this draft, and in accordance with your request, we are submitting
the following comments on what appear to be typographical errors:
• Cover page: Receiving waters listed here should read "South Fork Catawba River"
• Section A(1) Notes: Stream Monitoring locations listed are not correct (Do not
intersect South Fork River). Historically for Long Creek WWTP these locations have
been:
o Upstream: Highway 275 or 200 feet above outfall
o Downstream A: Spencer Mountain Pool at dam
o Downstream 13: South Fork River bypass at NCSR 2003
o Downstream C: 1.5 miles below tailrace at power lines
We would also like some clarification on the definition of "daily sampling" in Part II
Section A. Does this mean we need to sample five days each week even when one day
is a holiday? Does it mean if we do not obtain a sample - due for instance to a
malfunctioning sampler - we can sample on the weekend and still meet the requirement?
We ask clarification as well for what is meant by "The Permittee shall at all times provide
the operations and maintenance resources necessary to operate the existing facilities at
optimum efficiency" (Part II, Section C-2).

South side of the plant had blown out between the backwash holding tank and the DAF Tank. I arrived at the plant at approximately 11:00 P.M. We attempted
to isolate the area that was leaking utilizing plug valves on both ends of the line in question (6" line) at the south side of the plant. This had no effect on the leak
and continued to flow at approximately 50 gallons per minute.
The City's Water and Sewer Emergency Crew was called and a backhoe was requested along with a crew to excavate and repair the leak. The crew arrived and
was getting set up at 12:45-1:OOA.M. The emergency crew attempted repairs, however it was decided that the leak was too deep, lighting was poor, and the blue
prints being used were did not include everything needed. Consequently the backhoe operator was afraid of hitting buried electrical conduit, duct banks, etc and
decided to try again in the morning.
It was at this time that the Water and Sewer emergency crew went twenty to thirty feet down hill from the source of the leak and dug a large pit where two pumps
were placed to keep as much water as possible from reaching Long Creek. Between the hours of 10:30 P.M. and 1 A.M. we estimated the flow to be 7,500
gallons. After the sump pit was dug and the pumps installed, we estimated the flow to be 20 gallons per minute reaching the creek. Between the hours of 1 A.M.
to 10 A.M. we estimated the flow to be 10,800 gallons. Total volume until the flushing water system could be shut down to be repaired was approximately
18,300 gallons. This was treated plant effluent (flushing or reuse) water, which had been chlorinated and de -chlorinated.
As the City Staff was excavating, the plant operations staff was switching the application point of the Chlorine and Sulfur Dioxide feed from the manhole above
the chlorine contact chamber to the influent channel of the filters. This was giving a longer retention time for the chemical so that when the flushing water was
turned off to be repaired, there would still be chlorination and de -chlorination until a temporary pump could be put in place to feed this part of he flushing water
system. A large submersible pump was installed in the very end of the chlorine contact chamber and tied in to the 2" PVC line that feeds the chlorine and sulfur
dioxide feed system. At approximately 2 P.M., the source of the leak was finally located, the bad section taken out, and an isolation valve installed at this point
in the line. There was also a new 6"gate valve installed on the 2,500 gallon above ground hydro -pneumatic tank. These steps were taken to aid the operations
staff in case this type of a leak occurs again. The large submersible pump will be permanently placed in the contact chamber with quick connect piping, so plant
staff can hook up feed water to the chlorine and sulfur dioxide system in a more timely manner.
All City and plant staff worked together continuously from the time the leak was discovered until he time repairs were completed. Wes Bell, from the
Mooresville Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality was contacted within twenty -fours hours to report this event and explain the steps that had been
taken to repair the system.
If there any questions concerning this event, please contact me at 704-842-5108, or 704-214-9142.

operation and maintenance logs, and calibration logs were reviewed. The records were in-depth and well
maintained.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS S. MAINTENANCE:
The facility appeared to be well operated and the surrounding grounds were well maintained. The three
back-up generators are well maintained and the mixed liquor (oxic cells) appeared to be well mixed and
adequately oxygenated. Alum, caustic soda, and acetic acid are added to the treatment process to
maintain optimum treatment efficiency. The facility currently utilizes three digesters (!-primary,
2-secondary) and three holding tanks. Screenings and grit are disposed at the county landfill. The WWTP
is adequately staffed with certified operators 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. The ORC and staff were
very knowledgeable of the treatment processes and equipment used at the facility. The ORC and staff must
ensure that all spigots utilized for the usage of non -potable water are painted the appropriate color.
The comprehensive process control program includes dissolved oxygen, settleability tests, MLSS, MLVSS,
SVI, F/M, ammonia, orthophosphates, nitrates, microscopic examinations, and sludge blanket measurements.
Sludge wasting is based on the entire process control program. In addition, the facility utilizes an
on-line computer system for extensive monitoring of process equipment and tracking of WWTP performance.
Several small areas of soil contamination (by petroleum products) were observed adjacent to the lagoons
utilized for lime stabilization. Note: The facility has ceased this treatment process and is in the
process of removing the remaining contents from the lagoons. The contamination appeared to be caused by
the miscellaneous spills and leakages of the equipment utilized in the mixing of the lagoon contents.
No surface waters were affected. The ORC and staff indicated that the soil would be properly removed and
disposed.
LABORATORY:
The Crowders Creek Laboratory (Certification #210) and the contracted services of Prism Laboratories
(Certification 4402) of Charlotte, N.C. and Mer4tech, Inc. (Certification #165) of Reidsville, N.C.
provide analytical support. The laboratories were not evaluated during the inspection. The laboratory
instrumentation utilized for field analyses appeared to be properly calibrated.
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:
The effluent was clear with no suspended solids or foam. The receiving stream was not evaluated at the
time of the inspection.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Self -monitoring reports were reviewed for the period June 2002 through May 2003, inclusive. A monthly
average effluent ammonia violation was reported for January 2003. Note: The Division has previously
addressed this violation. All monitoring frequencies and sampling locations appeared correct. Composite
samples are collected flow proportionately. All samples appeared to be properly preserved and meet the
required holding times.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Effluent flow is measured continuously by an ultrasonic flow meter with totalizer and chart recording.
The flow meter is calibrated quarterly by ISI Instrumentation Services, Inc. in Charlotte, N.C. The flow
meter was last calibrated on 7/29/03.
SLUDGE DISPOSAL:
Digested sludge is land applied by either Otter Creek Environmental Systems, Inc. or EMA Resources under
the authority of Land Application Permit No. WQ0001793.

SUBJECT: Renewal Application Requirements for Permit NCO020184
Long Creek WWTP
Your NPDES permit for a municipally owned/operated WWTP expires on January 31, 2005. This advance notice is
being sent to explain the new requirements for your permit renewal application.
You are receiving this advance notice because your facility has a permitted flow at or above 1 MGD, or your
WWTP has a pretreatment program. If either of these criteria no longer apply to your facility; contact the NPDES
Unit before submitting a renewal application.
Federal (40 CFR 122) and state (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal applications be filed
at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. Your renewal application is due to the Division no later
than August 4, 2004. Failure to apply for renewal by the appropriate deadline may result in a civil penalty assessment
or other enforcement activity at the discretion of the Director.
The U.S. EPA revised and expanded the application requirements for municipal permits, effective August 1, 2001.
EPA forms 1 and 2A are attached to this Notice, and must be used for your permit renewal application. The new
application requirements mandate additional effluent testing:
1. Conduct three Priority Pollutant Analyses (PPAs) and submit results with your renewal application.
Collect samples for the PPAs in conjunction with sampling for your current quarterly toxicity test. The
new PPA requirements differ from previous versions. Each PPA must include:
➢ Analyses for all total recoverable metals listed in Part D of form 2A. This includes metals that are
not normally monitored through your NPDES permit.
➢ Analyses for total phenolic compounds and hardness.
➢ Analyses for all of the volatile organic compounds listed in Part D.
➢ Analyses for all of the acid -extractable compounds listed in Part D.
➢ Analyses for all base -neutral compounds listed in Part D.
2. Conduct four toxicity tests for an organism other than Ceriodaphnia and submit results with your renewal
application. The tests should be conducted quarterly, with samples collected on the same day as your
current toxicity test. Call the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at [phone] for guidance in conducting the
additional tests.
These additional analyses must accompany your permit renewal application, or any request for a major permit
modification. The Division cannot draft your permit without the additional data. Any data submitted cannot be
over 4'A years old, and must account for seasonal variation (samples cannot be collected during the same season
each year if collected over multiple years).

Renewal Notice for Permit NC0020184
Gaston County
Page 2
If your permit already contains a requirement for an annual effluent pollutant scan, additional scans are not
required [provided you have conducted at least 3 scans prior to submitting your application].
If any wastewater discharge will occur after the current permit expires, this NPDES permit must be renewed.
Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate Federal and North Carolina law. Unpermitted
discharges of wastewater could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day. If all wastewater
discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit, contact Vanessa Manuel of the Division's
Compliance Enforcement Unit at [phone], extension 532. You may also contact the Mooresville Regional
Office at [phone] to begin the rescission process.
Use the checklist below to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you must
submit with the permit renewal application. If you have any questions, please contact me. My telephone number, fax
number and e-mail address are listed at the bottom of the previous page.
Sincerely,
Charles H. Weaver, Jr.

Re: Ammonia Monthly Average Violation
Dear Sir or Madam:
For January 2003, the Long Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant violated its monthly
average limit for ammonia -nitrogen of 4.0 mg/L. The ammonia -nitrogen violation
appears to be the result of a toxic discharge to the Long Creek Treatment Plant, which
adversely affected nitrification despite our efforts to rejuvenate it.
On December 26th 2002 the plant influent received unusually high BOD and TSS results
coming into the plant. Around the 2nd of January the plant began to lose its nitrification
abilities. Around that same time period, many of our local industries had ceased.
production and were in clean-up and maintenance mode over the Christmas holidays.
Based on the correlation of this data, we believe that a discharge from one or more of
these industries may have caused this upset; though despite additional sampling,
questioning and reviewing records, we have been unable to definitively determine a
culprit.
The City paid for consulting services from Black and Veatch to review plant performance
data and provide guidance to help us correct the upset as quickly as possible. They
agreed with our assessment of this being an upset from an industry discharge, and
approved our steps to deal with it. They stated that it would take a minimum of four to
six weeks for us to bring the nitrifiers back.
Starting on January 91h the City began hauling seed sludge from our Crowders Creek plant
and adding to the system in an effort to encourage a more rapid restart of the nitrification
process. We continued to haul seed sludge until signs of improvement were seen in the
A 02::k A ISO 14001 Certified
AnWftm QUMft Anwe~ Pure andCCeax for our Fields andStneams

nitrification process. Process changes wee made at the Long Creek Plant in an eff or to
maximize the nitrification process
Unfortunately with the cold weather, we wx—.- unabie w brim nitrification back to
acceptable levels during the month of January. levels have improved through
the month of February and are now well below comzuiance evels.
We are looking into programs of additional monitor-:na and education uith ot= indus-zHal
users to limit the possibility of future slogs &—e this mte the plant during holiday and
shutdown periods.
Sincerely,

As we discussed in our phone conversation today, on April 20th along with heavy flows
due to substantial rains, the Long Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (NPDES
#NC0020184) received significant quantities of a diesel -like petroleum fuel. The fuel
was visible coming into the plant and gave off a noticeable odor.
With the heavy rains and large flow we were not able to practically contain this substance
and it quickly worked its way into the plant. The City is investigating a potential source
of the problem and will try to prevent future such incidences through our pretreatment
program.
If you have any questions of if I may be of any assistance, please call me at

Dear Mr. Shellenbarger:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NCO020184 was issued on May 31,2002 for
the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose of this
letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and the liabilities in the event of failure to
comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it is suggested
that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular importance are Pages 4 and 5 .
Pages 4 and 5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your
discharge. Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed
"Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types and sampling
locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required
monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on reporting forms furnished or approved by this
Agency. If you have not received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive
the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent"
reporting form (DEM Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form. It is imperative that
all applicable parts be completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee may be required
for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our Raleigh Office. It is imperative
that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent enforcement action or possible revocation of
your permit.
The remaining parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and special
conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s). The
conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment
unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater treatment plant
operator if you are operating wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater
treatment facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or discharged, expansions and/or
upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by this Agency.

Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the Permittee
to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A civil
penalty of up to $25,000 per violation (and/or criminal penalties) may be assessed for such violations.
If you find at any time that you are unable to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit, you
should contact this Office immediately. A Special Order by Consent (SOC) may be necessary while
pursuing action to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a five-year period. Permits are not
automatically renewed. Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180 days
prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of your Permit. This date is set forth on
Page 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are = automatically transferable. If you, as
the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that the Division of Water Quality
rescind the Permit or request that DWQ reissue the Permit to another party, if necessary.
As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of your
NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville if you
have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing any assistance.

Case No. LV 02-129
Gaston County
Dear Mr. Jordan:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount
of $2,085.45 ($2000.00 civil penalty + $85.45 enforcement costs) against the City of Gastonia.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the
discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by the City of Gastonia for the month of
December 2001. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge
limitations found in NPDES Permit No. NC0020184. The violations are summarized in
Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the City of Gastonia
violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit No. NCO020184 and North
Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215. 1 (a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment
A. A civil penalty may be assessed in accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with
authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
and the Director of the Division of Water Quality,1, D. Rex Gleason, Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Mooresville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment
against the City of Gastonia:

TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
Enforcement costs.
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:

1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for
contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter.
Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You
must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and
a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violations;
(c) the violations were inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violation;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Ms. Coleen Sullins
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review the information during a bimonthly enforcement conference and inform
you of his decision in the matter of the remission request. His response will
provide details regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for
further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's
Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee
cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request
considered by the Director and therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
OR
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an
administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to
the Office of Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes. You must:
File your original petition with the
Office of Administrative Hearings
6714 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
and
Mail or hand -deliver a copy of the petition to
Mr. Dan Oakley, General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days, as evidenced by a date
stamp (not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter
being referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect
the penalty.
Please be advised that any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new
enforcement action, including an additional penalty. If you have any questions about this civil
penalty assessment, please contact the Water Quality Section staff of the Mooresville Regional
Office at 704/663-1699.

The facility was last inspected by John Lesley of this office on March 9, 2001.
PERMIT:
The permit authorizes for the continued operation of an existing 16.0 MGD wastewater
treatment facility consisting of an influent lift station, mechanical bar screens, cyclone grit removal,
primary clarifiers, trickling filters, anaerobic/anoxic/oxic basins, caustic and alum feed, secondary
clarifiers, tertiary filters, chlorine disinfection with dechlorination, static post aeration, sludge
digesters, sludge drying beds, and sludge lagoons.
The permit for this facility became effective on 11/25/98 and expired on 1/30/00. The
Division has received the appropriate documentation for a permit renewal.
RECORDS AND REPORTS:
Records and reports consisting of discharge monitoring reports (DMR's), chain of custody
forms, sample analysis reports, flow charts, sludge records, Operator -in -Responsible Charge (ORC)
visitation log, process control data, daily operation and maintenance logs, and calibration logs were
reviewed at the time of the inspection. The records were in-depth and well organized.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
The influent initially passes through screening and grit removal before being pumped and
split to three primary clarifiers (one not in -use). The facility no longer utilizes the trickling filters.
The flow is split into a 7.0 MGD and a 9.0 MGD train with each consisting of dual train
anaerobic/anoxic/oxic basins. One of the anaerobic/anoxic/oxic trains of the 9.0 MGD train was not
in operation; however, the train would be put back on-line within the near future. The flow is
combined prior to the four secondary clarifiers (three on-line), tertiary filtration, backwash holding
tank, gaseous chlorination with dual contact chambers, gaseous dechlorination, and dual static
aerators. The polishing pond is no longer in -use and the denitrification basin is currently being
repaired. The facility utilizes a DAF unit and two sludge lagoons with lime stabilization prior to
land application.
The facility appeared to be well operated and the surrounding grounds were well maintained.
The three back-up generators are well maintained and the mixed liquor appeared to be well mixed
and adequately oxygenated. Screenings and grit are disposed at the county landfill.The process
control program consists of dissolved oxygen, settleable solids, MLSS, MLVSS, SVI, F/M,
ammonia, orthophosphates, microscopic examinations, and sludge blanket measurements. Sludge
wasting is based on the entire process control program. In addition, the facility utilizes an on-line
computer system for extensive monitoring of process equipment and tracking of WWTP
performance.
The facility is staffed with a Grade IV ORC. A certified back-up ORC has been designated
and is available when the ORC is unable to visit the facility. The WWTP is adequately staffed with
certified operators 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. The ORC and staff were very knowledgeable
of the treatment processes and equipment used at the facility.

FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE cont'd:
The ground adjacent to the screw pump lift station was stained with a petroleum product.
The depth of contamination did not appear to be greater than three to four inches. The Assistant
Division Manager indicated that a contract firm maintains the screw pumps. In addition, the
water/condensate inside the container for one of the effluent recycle pumps contained a petroleum
sheen and was nearly overflowing onto the ground. Be advised that pursuant to NCGS 143-215.88A,
any person who intentionally or negligently discharges oil or other hazardous substances, or
knowingly causes or permits the discharge of oil in violation of NCGS 143-215.83(a), or who fails
to report a discharge as required by NCGS 143-215.85, or who fails to comply with the clean up
requirements of NCGS 143-215.84(a), shall incur, in addition to any other penalty provided by law,
a penalty in an amount not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) for each such violation. The
Assistant Division Manager indicated the contaminated soil and the water inside of the container
would be removed and properly disposed.
LABORATORY:
The on -site laboratory (Certification #545) and the contracted services of Meritech, Inc. of
Reidsville, N.C. provide analytical support. The laboratories were not inspected at the time of the
inspection; however, please refer to Mr. Chet Whiting's (Divisions Laboratory Certification Unit)
inspection report dated 9/24/01 for the inspection at the on -site laboratory on 9/13/01. The pH, TRC,
and DO meters and thermometer appeared to be properly calibrated.
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:
The effluent was clear with no floatable solids and foam generated from entrained air. The
facility discharges into the South Fork Catawba River, which is a WS-V water in the Catawba River
Basin. The receiving stream was not evaluated at the time of the inspection.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Self -monitoring reports were reviewed for the period January 2001 through December 2001,
inclusive. The following limit violations were reported.
- Weekly average fecal coliform violation for the week of February 26 through March 3, 2001.
- Daily maximum TRC violations on April 11 and December 26, 2001.
- Daily maximum mercury violation on April 12, 2001.
- Monthly average ammonia violations for February, November, and December 2001.
- Monthly average total nitrogen violations for April and October 2001.
- Monthly average total phosphorus violation for December 2001.
The facility reported five fecal coliform results for the week of May 20 through May 26,
2001; however, the results were not reported on a daily basis as defined by the 15A North Carolina
Administrative Code (NCAC) 2B .0503 (5) which states daily as being every day on which a
wastewater discharge occurs except Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays unless otherwise
specified by the Director. The remaining monitoring frequencies were correct.
Influent and effluent sampling are collected flow proportional. All samples appeared to be
properly preserved and meet the required holding times.

City of Gastonia Long Creek WWTP

FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Effluent flow is measured continuously by an ultrasonic flow meter with totalizer and chart
recording. The flow meter is calibrated quarterly by ISI Instrumentatim Services, Inc. in Charlotte,
N.C. The flow meter was last calibrated on 1/16/02.
SLUDGE DISPOSAL:
Sludge is lime stabilized and land applied by Otter Creek Environmental Systems, Inc. in
Winston-Salem, N.C. under the authority of Land Application Permit No. WQ0001793.
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.

Re: Notice of Violation/Notice of Recommendation for Enforcement
Compliance Evaluation Inspection Deficiencies
Gastonia Long Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant
NPDES Permit Number: NCO020184
Dear Mr. Bridgeman:
In accordance with the request from your office by letter, dated April 22, 2002, the
following is the City's response to the items of concern listed in the Compliance
Evaluation Inspection Report for the inspection of the Long Creek Wastewater
Treatment Plant conducted by Mr. Wes Bell on April 5, 2002.
There were two issues involving the handling of oil that were addressed in the report.
They are being addressed as follows:
Oil from the screw pump lift station had run down the side of the station and onto the soil
at the bottom. This soil will be excavated, placed on plastic for remediation, and
replaced with fresh soil. Kemp Incorporated, the contractor servicing these pumps has
been issued a purchase order for installing a shielding barrier to prevent this from
happening in the future. Any dripped oil will be contained and cleaned up with oil dry as
necessary.
A container collecting water/condensate for one of the effluent recycle pumps was
identified as having a petroleum sheen and being near the overflow point. The container
will be cleaned and an appropriate sorbent material replaced in the container. In the
future, containers will be checked on a more regular basis to insure they are kept clean.
The other areas of concern involved the results of self -monitoring. Each is being
addressed as follows:

Weekly average fecal coliform violation for the week of February 26 through March
3, 2001: This violation was due to an increased chlorine demand from an undetermined
source. Upon receiving the results of the fecal coliform analysis, the baseline set point
of the flow -proportional chlorine dosing system was gradually increased throughout the
week. This increase was gradual to avoid the chance of excess chlorine causing a
residual chlorine violation of the daily maximum. In an effort to determine the chlorine
demand and increase/decrease the chlorine dosing set point in a more timely manner,
the City of Gastonia purchased and installed a chlorine residual meter prior to
dechlorination to indicate whether the demand has been satisfied.
Daily maximum Total Residual
Chlorine (TRC) violation on April 11th
and December 261h, 2001: The April
11 th violation was the result of a
90
sudden decrease in the chlorine
demand of the effluent wastewater. As e0
illustrated on this graph, the average 70
chlorine feed dropped by half over a 60
period of three months. An industrial
discharger, Fleischmann's Yeast, E 50
ceased operations during this period of - 40
time. The wastewater from this
industry contained a large refractory
component that was not broken down
in the biological treatment process and
resulted in a large chlorine demand in
the disinfection process. As mentioned
in the section on fecal violations above,
the City has installed a residual
chlorine meter at the end of the contact
chamber to detect changes in chlorine demand
made to the chlorine feed rates.

The cause of the December 26th violation has not been determined. The automated
chlorine and sulfur dioxide systems have been examined and appear to be functioning
appropriately. City staff continue to closely monitor the system and no additional
problems with effluent chlorine levels have occurred.
Daily maximum mercury violation on April 12, 2001: The mercury violation was
presumably the result of high mercury concentration entering the plant, since the plant
has no effective way of removing mercury. Pretreatment staff has investigated potential
sources for the mercury but no definitive determination has been made. The City
continues, through pretreatment regulations, to closely monitor and restrict mercury from
entering the system. Extensive efforts have gone into sampling and analysis for mercury
to assure minimal sample contamination so accurate results can be obtained. The City
has worked with local dental offices to limit mercury in the wastewater. Additional

mercury education and collection efforts are planned for this summer. The City is
working with the North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Division of Pollution Prevention and Environmental Assistance to have a series of
articles on mercury published in the local newspapers and is sponsoring a mercury item
collection day and an exchange program for mercury free thermometers.
Monthly average ammonia violations for February, November and December 2001:
The data indicates that during the weekend of January 27-28, 2001, and possibly during
the weekend of February 3-4, an inhibitory substance entered the Long Creek
Wastewater Treatment Plant that affected the nitrifying organisms. This caused a
4,000% increase in the effluent ammonia -nitrogen concentration over the previous day's
concentration. The city's pretreatment staff immediately began investigating the source
of the discharge. A few possibilities were uncovered but no concrete evidence surfaced.
The Long Creek Plant reseeded the biological system with waste activated sludge from
the Crowders Creek Treatment Plant in an effort to accelerate the recovery of the
process. In mid -February the nitrification process recovered and the effluent ammonia -
nitrogen levels returned to below permit limits.
Regarding the November and December 2001 violations, the ammonia nitrogen monthly
average violations were the result of a problem occurring when flows were redirected in
order to allow the inspection of the 9mgd aeration basin for construction defects. At the
direction of the City's attorneys, it was necessary for the basin to be made available for
inspection by a concrete expert. To minimize disruption to the treatment process, only
one half of the 9mgd basin, which has two sides, was taken out of service, with that flow
redirected to the smaller 7mgd aeration basin that had been out of service. Missing
seals on the gates between the two sides of the larger aeration basin resulted in the loss
of solids, including nitrifiers, from the side of the basin in service into the out of service
side that was being pumped empty for inspection. When the missing seals were
discovered, the entire 9mgd basin was taken out of service and all flow was directed
through the smaller 7mgd basin.
Activated sludge from the Crowders WWTP was hauled to the Long Creek WWTP to
reseed the nitrifiers and reduce treatment recovery time. The smaller 7mgd basin was
at, or close to, treatment capacity, and the nitrifiers recovered very slowly. The
temperature was also low at this time, delaying nitrification recovery. Seals were
purchased and installed and one side of the larger train was put back into service on
January 18th. With additional retention time, the nitrification process began to recover
and the ammonia -nitrogen levels returned to normal.
Monthly average total nitrogen violations for April and October 2001: At the time of
the April 2001 violation, a significant industrial user, Fleischmann's Yeast, was
discharging large amounts of refractory organic nitrogen that the treatment plant could
not handle. The City attempted to work with the industry to find ways to reduce this
organic nitrogen. The City requested a special order of consent concerning this issue on
March 22, 2000 with additional information sent in May 25, 2000. After Fleischmann's

May 10, 2002
NOV Response
Page 4
closed their Gastonia facility at the beginning of April 2001, the decrease in refractory
nitrogen allowed the Long Creek WWTP to begin meeting its 6 mg/I effluent total
nitrogen limit the following month. The City rescinded its request for an SOC effective
April 2001 but the final flows from the industry and residual effects contributed to the
plant's non-compliance for that month. Since that time Long Creek has been compliant
for total nitrogen except for the October violation.
The October 2001 total nitrogen violation was caused by a failed acetic acid feed pump
and related system problems. The Long Creek Facility is feeding acetic acid to provide
a sufficient food source to complete the denitrification process. When the pump failed it
was sent to a repair facility and was returned and reinstalled within 24 hours. After the
pump rebuild, and pump rate readjustment, it became evident that the feed rate had
been slowly dropping to a rate that was not sufficient for nitrogen removal. During the
month, the PVC piping carrying the acid had to be exposed and one of the elbow/unions
replaced. The pipe has been repaired and a second pump has been outfitted to serve
as a back up in order to prevent reoccurrence of this problem.
Monthly average total phosphorus violation for December 2001: The change
resulting in the increased effluent phosphorus has not been determined. The violation
was the result of a sharp spike in phosphorus during the week of Christmas. The
effluent sample on December 26th, had a phosphorus concentration of 4.7 mg/I, when all
previous results were less than or equal to 0.3 mg/l. To prevent future occurrences, the
alum feed rate has been increased, a quicker turnaround of process numbers from the
laboratory has been stressed, and phosphorus levels are continuing to be closely
monitored.
For the week of May 20 through May 26, 2001 fecal coliform was analyzed on
Saturday May 251h instead of Friday May 25th. The fecal coliform samples from
Friday were not reportable due to a laboratory error. The bags the petri dishes were
contained in were not properly sealed and leaked water inside making the dishes
unreadable. An extra sample was obtained on Saturday and analyzed in an effort to
make up for this missing data. In the future if something similar occurs, it will be
reported on the Discharge Monitoring Reports as a laboratory error on the weekday
sample was to be run.
Through our ISO 14001 certified Environmental Management System, the City of
Gastonia's Wastewater Treatment Division is committed to good environmental
stewardship and strives for continual improvement in plant operations and total
compliance with all regulations. While we can never guarantee complete success,
whenever situations of non-compliance occur, such as those identified here, every effort
is made to correct the problem and bring our program back into compliance. Each of
these areas has been or is being addressed as described above in an effort to prevent
similar future occurrences. We appreciate the efforts of your department and desire to
work with you to ensure the protection of our environment.

The facility was last inspected by John Lesley of this office on March 9, 2001.
PERMIT:
The permit authorizes for the. continued operation of an existing 16.0 MGD .wastewater
treatment facility consisting of an influent lift station, mechanical bar screens, cyclone grit removal;
primary clarifiers, trickling filters, anaerobic/anoxic/oxic basins, caustic and alum feed, secondary
clariflers, tertiary filters, chlorine disinfection with dechlorination, static post aeration, sludge
digesters, sludge drying beds, and sludge lagoons.
The permit for this facility became effective on 11/25/98 and expired on 1/30/00.. The
Division has received the appropriate documentation for a permit renewal.
RECORDS AND REPORTS:
Records and reports consisting of discharge monitoring reports (DMR's), chain of custody
forms, sample analysis reports, flow charts, sludge records, Operator -in -Responsible Charge (ORC)
visitation log, process control data, daily operation and maintenance logs; and calibration logs were
reviewed at the time of the inspection. The records were in-depth and well organized.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
The influent initially passes through screening and grit removal beforebeing pumped and
split to three primary clarifiers (one not in -use). The facility no longer utilizes the trickling filters.
The flow is split into a 7.0 MGD and a 9.0 MGD train with each consisting of dual train
ana.erobic/anoxic%oxic basins: One of the anaerobic/anoxictoxic trains of the 9.0 MGD train was not
in operation; however, the train would be put back on-line within the near future. The flow is
combined prior to the four secondary clarifiers (three on-line), tertiary filtration, backwash holding
tank, gaseous chlorination with dual contact chambers, gaseous dechlorination, and. dual static'
aerators. The polishing pond is no longer in -use and the denitrification basin is currently being
repaired. The facility utilizes a DAF unit and two sludge lagoons with lime stabilization prior to
land application.
The facility appeared to be well operated and the surrounding grounds were well maintained.
The three back-up generators are well maintained and the mixed liquor appeared to be well mixed
and adequately oxygenated. Screenings and grit are disposed at the county landfill.The process
control program consists of dissolved oxygen, settleable solids, MLSS, MLVSS, SVI, F/M,
ammonia, orthophosphates, microscopic examinations, and sludge blanket measurements. Sludge
wasting is based on the entire process control program. In addition, the facility utilizes an on-line
computer system for extensive monitoring of process equipment and tracking of WWTP
performance.
The facility is staffed with a Grade IV ORC. A certified back-up ORC has been designated
and is available when the ORC is unable to visit the facility. The WWTP is adequately staffed with
certified operators 24 hours a day, 7 days per week. The ORC and staff were very knowledgeable

FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE cont'd:
The ground adjacent to the screw pump lift station was stained with a petroleum product.
The depth of contamination did not appear to be greater than three to four inches. The Assistant
Division Manager indicated that a contract firm maintains the screw pumps. In addition, the
water/condensate inside the container for one of the effluent recycle pumps contained a petroleum
sheen and was nearly overflowing onto the ground. Be advised that pursuant to NCGS 143-215.88A,
any person who intentionally or negligently discharges oil or other hazardous substances, or
knowingly causes or permits the discharge of oil in violation of NCGS 143-215.83(a), or who fails
to report a discharge as required by NCGS 143-215.85, or who fails to comply with the clean up
requirements of NCGS 143-215.84(a), shall incur, in addition to any other penalty provided by law,
a penalty in an amount not to exceed five thousand dollars ($5,000.00) for each such violation. The
Assistant Division Manager indicated the contaminated soil and the water inside of the container
would be removed and properly disposed.
LABORATORY:
The on -site laboratory (Certification 4545) and the contracted services of Meritech,, Inc. of
Reidsville, N.C. provide analytical support. The laboratories were not inspected at the time of the
inspection; however, please refer to Mr. Chet Whiting's (Divisions Laboratory Certification Unit)
inspection report dated 9/24/01 for the inspection at the on -site laboratory on 9/13/01. The pH, TRC,
and DO meters and thermometer appeared to be properly calibrated.
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:
The effluent was clear with no floatable solids and foam generated from entrained air.. The
facility discharges into the South Fork Catawba River, which is a WS-V water in the Catawba River
Basin. The receiving stream was not evaluated at the time of the inspection.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Self -monitoring reports were reviewed for the period January 2001 through December 2001,
inclusive. The following limit violations were reported.
- Weekly average fecal coliform violation for the week of February 26 through March 3, 2001.
- Daily maximum TRC violations on April 11 and December 26, 2001.
- Daily maximum mercury violation on April 12, 2001
- Monthly average ammonia violations for February, November, and December 2001.
- Monthly average total nitrogen violations for April and October 2001.
- Monthly average total phosphorus violation for December 2001.
The facility reported five fecal coliform results for the week of May 20 through May 26,
2001; however, the results were not reported on a daily basis as defined by the 15A North Carolina
Administrative Code (NCAC) 2B .0503 (5) which states daily as being every day on which a
wastewater discharge occurs except Saturdays, Sundays, and legal holidays unless otherwise

City of Gastonia Long Creek WWTP

FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Effluent flow is measured continuously by an ultrasonic flow meter with totalizer and chart
recording. The flow meter is calibrated quarterly by ISI Instrumentatim Services, Inc. in Charlotte,
N.C. The flow meter was last calibrated on 1/16/02.
SLUDGE DISPOSAL:
Sludge is lime stabilized and land applied by Otter Creek Environmental Systems, Inc. in
Winston-Salem, N.C. under the authority of Land Application Permit No. WQ0001793.
SEWER OVERFLOW:
Please be advised that pursuant to Part H, 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 Office704-663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the
pernuttee 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.

Subject: Long Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant — Anaerobic Digestion
Dear Mr. Gleason:
In August of 1999, the City of Gastonia began the use of Lime Stabilization at the Long
Creek WWTP (NPDES # 0020184) in efforts to meet the 40 CFR Part 503 and the Land
Application Permit (#WQ0001793) requirements for the Land Application of Wastewater
Residuals. At the time of our request to move to lime stabilization, the Long Creek
WWTP was experiencing high solids in the influent, Dissolved Air Floatation
(Thickening) problems, and Digester problems that were threatening compliance with
the regulations. All along the City believed that hopefully lime stabilization was a
temporary solution to the problems that we were experiencing. Since the time we began
the lime stabilization we have focused on returning to anaerobic digestion. Since 1999
the City has seen decreased solids loadings, has improved/efficient DAF operation and
is currently cleaning and working on the digesters in efforts to return to Anaerobic
Digestion sometime in July.
The City has and will keep Ms. Ellen Huffman of the Mooresville Office informed of our
progress with the project. If you or any of your staff have any specific questions
ccncerning this process, plonse contact meat 704-866-6726. Thank you again fcr your
cooperation.

Subject: Notice of Violation - Effluent Limitations
City of Gastonia -Long Creek WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO020184
Gaston County
Dear Mr. Jordan:
A review of the January 2002 self -monitoring report for the subject facility revealed a violation of
the following parameter:
Pipe Parameter Reported Value Limit
001 Ammonia Nitrogen 13.2 mg/l 4.0 mg/1 FIN
The Division of Water Quality may pursue enforcement actions for this and any additional
violations. The City has applied for a Special Order by Consent; however, the SOC application includes a
request for a relaxed limitation for Total Nitrogen only. The City's letter, which was attached to the
Discharge Monitoring Report for January 2002, suggests that the above violation was associated with
construction or construction problems at the facility, and that remedial actions have resulted in a return to a
compliant status. It is for these reasons that a decision was made not to pursue enforcement for the
violation; however, a request for enforcement from our Raleigh Office could change the situation, although
we do not anticipate such a request at this time.
If you have questions concerning this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at 704/663-1699.

Instructions
The purpose of this document and the accompanying memo is to standardize the sampling, analysis and reporting procedures to be ::sed
for the Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring (APAM) Requirement as described in the permit.
Sampling
1 - Take a 24-hour composite sample from the final effluent during mid -week (Wednesday through Friday). Collect a grab sample for the vc:atile
organic fraction when collection of the 24-hour composite sample is completed. Follow any other sampling instructions provided by the laborzory
performing the analysis.
2 - Indicate in the space provided at the top of this page whether a corresponding sample for toxicity testing was taken
3 - Make note of any ufusual wastewater treatment operating conditions occurring on the day of sampling in the space provided on the 'crm
Analysis
4 - Analyze the effluent for pollutants listed on the APAM form, including those to be identified and approximately quantified under t.`.e 10
significant peaks rule, using appropriate EPA -approved methods for each of the analytic fractions. Other analytical methods can be substi:uted
only with prior, written approval of the Director of the Division of Environmental Management (DEM). Read and distribute to the labor -cry
performing the analysis the accompanying memo (redder, October 19W) clarifying analytical requirements.
5 - Identify chemicals to be analyzed for according to the 10 significant peaks rule (as described in item 2 of the Annual Pollutant Ana;ysis
Monitoring Requirement in the permit) using a GClMS library search. Tentative�entification is all that is required; confirmation by starcard
injection is not necessary. Estimate the concentration of each based on an internal standard having the closest retention time.
Reporting
6 - Ouantitation Limit Targets that should be met are listed on this Revised APAM Reporting Form A. Report the use of any higher quantita-
tion limit and an explanation as to why the listed quantitation limit target could not be met. Examples of acceptable reasons for not mee:ing
a quantitation limit target could be high background concentrations in a sample, or the necessity for sample fraction dilution to bring a chemical
to within a quantifiable concentration. List any quantitation limit differtent (whether higher or lower) from the target in the column provided
for this purpose.
7 - If a chemical is found to be below the quantitation limit, report the concentration detected as less than (or'<') the quantitation 'imit
in the appropriate space. Provide a concentration estimate for chemicals detected in concentrations greater than the detection limit and'ess
than the quantitation limit. Enter the detection limit in parentheses beside the estimate. Chemicals detected in concentrations above the quan-
titation limits must be quantified. Ouantitatlon limit and detection limit are defined in the accompanying memo (Tedder, October 1990). Ester
the total number of peaks detected in each analytic fraction in the appropriate space on this Revised APAM Form A. Report all concentrations
in units of micrograms per liter (ug/1) and metals as total recoverable metal. If no peaks to be identified under the 10 significant peaks rule
are observed, enter "none" in the space provided for "other" compounds in each appropriate analytic fraction section. Provide the concentra-
tion estimate and retention time for "unknowns" as well as for "significant peaks" for which a structural assignment can be made.
8 - If "significant peaks" are found, provide probable molecular weight, library match mbability, retention time, identification basis. and
MS scan number for each. In addition, list internal standards and their retention times..
9 - In the section labeled "Organic Analytical Information" (p. 9), Include for each organic fraction the method, extraction technique, GC
operating conditions, and surrogate recovery. Report the size of the GC/MS library being utilized in the appropriate space.
10 - Use copies of this Annual Pollutant Analysis Monitoring Revised Form A to report the results of the analysis. Both the analytical Iaboraory
representative and the facility operator in responsible charge should sign completed forms (last page).
11 - Mail two completed copies of the form (and the laboratory report, if submitted to the facility on a different form) to: ATTN: Central Files,
Division of Environmental Management, NC DEHNR, P.O. Box 27687, Raleigh, NC 27611. Mail the APAM form separately from Discharge Monitcnng
Reports.

Additional Information Request
Robert Lee Stowe, Jr. Family YMCA
Sewer -Private
Gaston County
Dear Mr. Morgan:
The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of the
subject application. Additional information is required before we can continue our review. Please
address the following items no later than July 26, 1999:
General:
1) Please provide the number of anticipated members for this facility so that the review
engineer may check the applicants flow calculations versus the Division of Water Quality's
flow rate of approximately 10 to 15 gallons/person/14 hour day.
2) Regulations 15A NCAC 2H .0219 (h) (6) and 15A NCAC 2H .0219 (i) (2) (K) require
protection from a 100 year flood for the pumping station and manholes, respectively. The
500-year flood elevation was noted on the plans, but some concern still exists with respect
to the pumping station and the manholes near Robert Lee Stowe, Jr. Boulevard. Please
provide the 100-year flood elevation for the project area, so that compliance with this
regulation may be confirmed. If the entire project area is outside the 100-year flood zone,
a letter signed and sealed by a licensed professional engineer or surveyor stating thus
would be acceptable.
3) Page 4 of the application, Section V, # 6 indicates a design total dynamic head of 93 feet.
The Design Calculations for the Pumping Station indicate 102 feet of head. Please clarify
this discrepancy. Please forward two signed and sealed copies of any revisions to my
attention.
Sheet CV5:
1) In accordance with regulation 15A NCAC 2H .0219 (i) (2) (G) (i), sewers must maintain a
minimum separation from storm sewers of 12 inches vertically. The proposed 3 inch PVC
force main crosses an unidentified storm sewer near the entrance of the parking lot for the
YMCA. Please include this crossing on the profile view so that the review engineer may
confirm the vertical separation requirement is met. Please forward 2 signed and sealed
copies of the revised page to my attention.
P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Telephone [phone] FAX [phone]
An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/ 10% post -consumer paper

2) The Discharge Elevation shown on the profile indicates an elevation of 629.7 feet. The
review engineer noted an elevation of 624.7 feet. This elevation also appears in the
application on Page 4, and in the Pumping Station Design Calculations Piping System.
Please make the necessary revisions and forward two signed and sealed copies of all
revised sheets.
3) The plans indicate wetlands along the creek. The proposed replacement DIP force main
crosses this creek and the wetlands. Please be advised that a 401 Certification and/or a 404
Permit may be required for the creek crossing in this project. Please forward copies of
certifications, permits or transmittal letters concerning this issue, if applicable.

The Non -Discharge Permitting Unit has completed a preliminary engineering review of
the subject application. Additional information is still required. Please address the following by
July 21, 1999:
1. Please verify flow to be permitted. There is conflict between the flow to be permitted
in the Application (28,080 GPD) versus the flow listed in the calculation sheets
(37,680GPD).
2. Calculations are based on a mix of the flows as stated in item 1. Please verify
calculations based on the Flow rate to be permitted.
3. Please provide force -main velocity and buoyancy calculations.
4. Placing instructions for the Contractor in the General Notes as to how he should deal
with horizontal and vertical separation for sewer line is very good, but some plan
sheets show vertical and horizontal separations that do not meet the Divisions
requirements. In order to avoid any confusion and due to the fact there are many
unknown and variable elevations of underground utilities, the Division request each
plan sheet be labeled as to the utilization of encasement pipe or ductile iron pipe if
the Division's required vertical and horizontal separations cannot be met for water
line and storm sewers.
5. The Division suggests placing the alarm float at the same level or below the lag float
in the pump tank in order to further prevent the possibility of overflow at the station.
Please consider this additional step in case of pump failure.

6. The application and plans state that the pump station has only a portable generator
hookup. Regulation 15A NCAC 2H .0219 (h) (3) requires that at least one of the
following shall be required for pump stations:
(A) dual source or standby power supply on site or;
(B) telemetry systems with sufficient numbers of standby generators and
personnel for distribution or;
(C) approval by the Director that the pump station:
(i) serves a private water distribution system which has automatic
shutoff at power failure and no elevated water storage tanks, and
(ii) has sufficient storage capacity that no potential for overflow
exists, and
(iii) is connected to facilities that can tolerate septic wastewater due to
prolonged detention or,
(D) where the waters that would be impacted by a power failure are classified
as C, the applicant may be allowed to show a history of power reliability
that would demonstrate that an alternative power source or other
reliability measures would not be needed.
If option (B) is chosen to fulfill this requirement, please provide information on the
number of pump stations or other devices the emergency generator will be expected
to service, verification the generator can be moved between devices it must service
in a way that prevents overflow of any served pump stations, the number of
personnel available to respond to a power outage, and the time required to respond
to an alarm. Power outage records need to be submitted to ensure a history of
power reliability if option (D) is intended to fulfill this requirement.
If a portable generator is used, please provide information concerning ownership
and a copy of the specifications, regarding the generator.
7. The flow acceptance letter from the town of Dallas must state the name of the
project and the amount of the flow that will be accepted.
Please reference the subject permit application number when providing the requested
information. All information should be signed, sealed, and submitted in duplicate to my
attention at the address below. Please note that failure to provide this additional information on
or before the above requested date can result in your application being returned as incomplete.
