SECTION D. REPORTING REQUIREMENTS 1. Change in Discharge All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified in this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit. Any anticipated facility expansions, production increases, or process modifications which will result Part II Page 7 of 14 in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must be reported by submission of a new NPDES application or, if such changes will not violate the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by notice to the DEN of such changes. Following such notice, the permit may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited. 2. Anticipated Noncompliance The permittee shall give notice to the Permit Issuing Authority of any planned change in the permitted facility or activity which may result in noncompliance with permit requirements. Any maintenance of facilities, which might necessitate unavoidable interruption of operation and degradation of effluent quality, shall be scheduled during noncritical water quality periods and carried out in a manner approved by the Permit Issuing Authority. 3. Transfer of Ownership or Control This permit is not transferable. In the event of any change in name, control or ownership of facilities from which the authorized discharge emanates or is contemplated, the permittee shall notify the prospective owner or controller by letter of the existence of this permit and of the need to obtain a permit in the name of the prospective owner. A copy of the letter shall be forwarded to the Division of Environmental Management. 4. Additional Monitoring by Permittee If the permittee monitors any pollutant at the location(s) designated herein more frequently than required by this permit, using approved analytical methods as specified above, the results of such monitoring shall be included in the calculation and reporting of the values is required in the DMR. Such increased frequency shall also be indicated. The DEN may require more frequent monitoring or the monitoring of other pollutants not required in this permit by written notification. 5. Averaging of Measurements Calculations for limitations which require averaging of measurements shall utilize an arithmetic mean unless otherwise specified by the Permit Issuing Authority in the permit. 6. Noncompliance Notification The permittee shall report by telephone to either the central office or the appropriate regional office of the Division as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following: Part II Page 8 of 14 a.

SECTION E. DEFINITION 1. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Environmental Management. 2. DEM or Division Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Natural Resources and Community Development. Part II Page 11 of 14 3. EMC: Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. 4. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. 5. Mass/Day Measurements a. The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Daily Average" or "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday -Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. C. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sample and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit. Part II Page 12 of 14 6. Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges samples and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" or "Daily Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. C. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. 7. 8. 9 Part II Page 13 of 14 Other Measurements a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. Types of Samples a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge period of 24 hours or less. b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Calculation of Means a. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1). C. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. Part II Page 14 of 14 10. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 11. Hazardous Substance A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. 12. Toxic Pollutant A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS A. Requirements for Control of Pollutants Attributable to Industrial Users. 1. Effluent limitations are listed in Part I of this permit. Other pollutants attributable to inputs from major contributing industries using the municipal system may be present in the permittee`s discharge. At such time as sufficient information becomes available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be revised to specify effluent limitations for any or all of such other pollutants in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality standards. 2. Under no circumstances shall the permittee allow introduction of the following wastes into the waste treatment system: a. Wastes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works. b. Wastes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment works, and in no case discharges with pH less than 5 unless the system is specifically designed to accommodate such discharges. C. Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to the flow in sewers or interference with the proper operation of the treatment works. d. Wastewaters at a flow rate and/or pollutant concentration which will cause an inhibition or disruption of the POTW, its treatment processes, operation, or sludge use and disposal. e. Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the treatment works, resulting in interference but in no case heat in such quantities that the temperature at the treatment works influent exceeds 40 C (104 F) unless the works are designed to accommodate such heat. 3. With regard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of this permit, it may be necessary for the permittee to supplement the requirements of the Federal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR, Part 403) to ensure compliance by the permittee with all applicable effluent limitations. Such actions by the permittee may be necessary regarding some or all of the major contributing industries discharging to the municipal system. Part III Continued 4. Permittee shall require any industrial dischargers into the permitted system to meet Federal Pretreatment Standards promulgated in response to Section 307(b) of the Act. Prior to accepting wastewater from any significant industrial user the permittee shall develop and submit to the Division for approval a Pretreatment Program. A significant industrial user is one which discharges wastewater into a publicly owned treatment works and which: a. has an average daily process wastewater flow of greater than 50,000 gallons per day, or; b. contributes more than 5% of any design capacity of the wastewater treatment plant which received the discharge, or; C. is required to meet a national categorical pretreatment standard, or; d. is determined by the control authority to have a potential to adversely impact the wastewater treatment plant or receiving stream, or to limit the POTW sludge disposal options, or; e. has been included in the permittee's pretreatment monitoring program submitted in accordance with section 15 NCAC 2H.0906 of the North Carolina Administrative Code. Any change in the definition of a significant industrial user as a result of promulgations in response to Section 307 of the Act or revisions to 15 NCAC 2H.0903 shall become a part of this permit. 5. This permit shall be modified, or alternatively, revoked and reissued, to incorporate or modify an approved POTW Pretreatment Program or to include a compliance schedule for the development of a POIW Pretreatment Program as required under Section 402(b) (8) of the Clean Water Act and implementing regulations or by the requirements of the approved State pretreatment program, as appropriate. B. Previous Permits All previous State water quality permits issued to this facility, whether for construction or operation or discharge, are hereby revoked by issuance of this permit. The conditions, requirements, terms and provisions of this permit authorizing discharge under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System govern discharges from this facility. Part III Continued C. Construction No construction of wastewater treatment facilities or additions thereto shall be begun until Final Plans and Specifications have been submitted to the Division of Environmental Management and written approval and Authorization to Construct has been issued. D. Certified Operator Pursuant to Chapter 90A of North Carolina General Statutes, the permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant operator in responsible charge of the wastewater treatment facilities. Such operator must hold a certification of the grade equivalent to or greater than the classification assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities. E. Groundwater Monitoring The permittee shall, upon written notice from the Director of the Division of Environmental Management, conduct groundwater monitoring as may be required to determine the compliance of this NPDES permitted facility with the current groundwater standards. F. Limitations Reopener This permit shall be modified, or alternatively, revoked and reissued, to comply with any applicable effluent standard or limitation issued or approved under Sections 301(b) (2) (C), and (D), 304(b) (2), and 307(a) (2) of the Clean Water Act, if the effluent standard or limitation so issued or approved: 1. contains different conditions or is otherwise more stringent than any effluent limitation in the permit, or 2. controls any pollutant not limited in the permit. The permit ns modified or reissued under this paragraph shall also contain any other requirements in the Act then applicable. G. Toxicity Reopener This permit shall be modified, or revoked and reissued to incorporate toxicity limitations and monitoring requirements in the event toxicity testing or other studies conducted on the effluent or receiving stream indicate that detrimental effects may be expected in the receiving stream as a result of this discharge. H. Chronic Toxicity Testing Requirement The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity tests, using test procedures outlined in: 1). The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure - Revised *February 1987) or subsequent version. The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is 99% (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from issuance of this permit during the months of January, April, July, and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM from AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Technical Services Branch North Carolina Division of Environmental Management P.O. Box 27687 Raleigh, N.C. 27611 Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physica-1 measurements performed in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be reopened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting (within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements. I.

Box 950 Mooresville, N.C. 28115 RE: Wastewater Treatment Plant Improvements Town of Stanley, North Carolina Dear Rex, The Town has found that it is unlikely that we will be able to have funding arrangements completed for financing the wastewater treatment plant improvements prior to the scheduled July 1 construction start for the project. The Town has made application for loans through the Farmers Home Administration and State Revolving Loan Program. There are currently no funds available through either program that will be in place prior to the scheduled start date for construction. For this reason, the Town is requesting the start date for construction be ex- tended to allow for further examinaiion of loan applications with botri the State Revolving Loan Program and Farmers Home. The Town requests that the JOC schedule be modified as follows: 1. Start construction of the treatment plant improvements and outfall by January 1, 1990. 2. Complete construction and achieve compliance by September 9, 1990. We appreciate your consideration of these modifications to the JOC, and thank you for your assistance in implementing these improvements to the Town's facilities.

Cobey, Jr., Secretary DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT July 10, 1989 Ms. Linda Medley Post Office Box 279 Stanley, North Carolina 28164 Subject: NPDES Permit No. NC 0020036 Town of Stanley Gaston County, NC Dear Ms. Medley: Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC 0020036 was issued on June 30, 1989 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 an-. 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 is Page M3. Page M3 sets forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your discharge(s). Your discharge(s) 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 the DMR forms furnished to you by this Agency. If you have not received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the form, 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. The remaining Parts of the Permit (Parts II and III) 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 919 North Main Street, P.O. Box 950, Mooresville, N.C. 28115-0950 • Telephone 704-663-1699 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer [ley Page Two July 10, 1989 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. 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 M-1 or I-1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that the Permit be rescinded. 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. Sincerely, D.

There did not appear to be any problems associated with the proposed discharge relocation. The Town is currently under a JOC which states that compliance with final limits should be achieved by April 1, 1990. The Town recently hired a new operator for the waste treatment facilities, and noticeable improvements have been made. The mechanical operations of the treatment plant appeared to be in good condition. The Permit should contain limitations for the existing and proposed discharge locations. It is recommended that the Permit be modified to include the proposed relocated discharge.

THOMAS RHODES, Secretary, ) Department of Natural Resources ) and Community Development, and ) ex rel ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT ) COMMISSION, ) Plaintiff, CONSENT JUDGMENT V. Town of Stanley, Defendant. THIS CAUSE came on to be heard this day before the undersigned Judge of Superior Court upon joint appearance by the parties, who have announced to the Court that all matters in controversy between them as alleged in the Complaint have been settled and that they have consented to the entry of the Consent Judgment upon the following stipulations and terms: STIPULATED FACTS 1. The plaintiff is the sovereign State of North Carolina. The Department of Natural Resources and Community Development (NRCD) is an agency of the State established pursuant to NCGS 143B-275, et se ; and S. Thomas Rhodes is its Secretary. The' Environmental Management Commission 2 (EMC) is an agency of the State established pursuant to NCGS 143B-282, et seq. 2. The defendant, Town of Stanley, in the County of Gaston, North Carolina, is an incorporated municipality established and created under North Carolina law. The current mayor of Stanley is William S. Withers, upon whom service of process may be made pursuant to Rule 4(j)(5)a of the Rules of Civil Procedure. 3. The Town of Stanley holds North Carolina NPDES Permit No. NC0020036 for operation of an existing wastewater treatment works, the Stanley Wastewater Treatment Plant, and for making an outlet therefrom for treated wastewater to Mauney Creek, Class C waters of this State, in the Catawba River Basin, but is unable to comply with the final effluent limitations for BOD, TSS, and NH3 as N as set forth in the Permit. Compliance will require preparation of plans and specifications for, and construction and operation of, additional treatment works. The noncompliance with final effluent limitations constitutes causing and contributing to pollution of the waters of the State, and the Town is within the jurisdiction of the Commission as set forth in NCGS Chapter 143, Article 21. 4. The Town of Stanley, due to its noncompliance, must provide financiri4 for, plan and construct treatment works which will treat the wastewater presently being 3 discharged and any additional wastewater desired to be discharged, to the extent that the Town will be able to comply with final permit effluent limitations. 5. In response to the National Municipal Policy, 49 F.R. 3832, January 30, 1984, adopted by the United States Environmental Protection Agency for assuring compliance with the federal Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. §1342, by publicly -owned treatment works, and in recognition of that Act's July 1, 1988, deadline for compliance [§1311 of the Act initially required compliance by July 1, 1977, but extensions of time were granted until July 1, 1988 if construction was required for compliance, pursuant to §1311(i)], the Department and Commission have identified the Stanley Wastewater Treatment Plant of the Town of Stanley as a facility which will not be in compliance due to extraordinary circumstances. The Town has appropriated funds and contracted with a consulting engineer who will investigate in detail the present procedures at the treatment facility and the waste streams being received, and will make recommendations for changes and procedures necessary to bring the Town into compliance with final effluent limitations. 4 STIPULATED TERMS 6.

STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA COUNTY OF GASTON IN THE GENERAL COURT OF JUSTICE SUPERIOR COURT DIVISION 88 CVS STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA, ex rel S. THOMAS RHODES, Secretary, Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, and ex rel ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMMISSION, Plaintiff, Town of Stanley says: COMPLAINT V. Defendant. Plaintiff, complaining of the Defendant, alleges and PARTIES 1. The plaintiff is the sovereign State of North Carolina. The Department of Natural Resources and Community Development (NRCD). is an agency of the State established pursuant to NCGS 143B-275, et s_S; and S. Thomas Rhodes is its Secretary. The Environmental Management Commission (EMC) is an agency of the State established pursuant to NCGS 143B-282, et seq. 2. Plaintiff is authorized to bring this action for injunctive relief for'iziolations or threatened violations of the State's water quality statutes, by reason of NCGS 2 143-215.6(c). Plaintiff administers the water quality control program of the State of North Carolina, and is the delegatee of the federally -mandated National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) program established by the §402 of the Clean Water Act, 33 U.S.C. §1342. 3. The defendant, Town of Stanley, in the County of Gaston, North Carolina, is an incorporated municipality established and created under North Carolina law. The current mayor of Stanley is William S. Withers, upon whom service of process may be made pursuant to Rule 4(j)(5)a of the Rules of Civil Procedure. JURISDICTION 4. NCGS 143-215.6(c) authorizes the Superior Court to hear the complaint and motion for injunctive relief of the Secretary of the Department of Natural Resources and Community Development, seeking to obtain compliance by the Town of Stanley with the water quality statutes of this State and the permits issued thereunder. 5. NCGS 143-215.6(c) likewise makes the Superior Court of Gaston County the appropriate venue for this cause. INTRODUCTION 6. NCGS 143-211 expresses the "intent of the General Assembly that the powers and duties of the Environmental Management Commissidn and the Department of Natural 3 Resources and Community Development be construed so as to enable the Department and the Commission to qualify to administer federally mandated programs of environmental management...." To this end, the Department has obtained appropriate delegations from the United States Environmental Protection Agency to administer and enforce the NPDES program. 7. The federal Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 U.S.C. §1251 et sec.., (hereinafter CWA) requires all entities who discharge into the navigable waters of the United States to obtain a National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in accordance with standards set by the Administrator of the Agency. 33 U.S.C. §1342(a). The Administrator can, however, "authorize" a state to issue NPDES permits in his stead if the state permitting program is at least equal to that under the CWA. 33 U.S.C. §1342(b). Thus, a discharge permit issued by an "authorized" state satisfies both the federal NPDES permit requirement and the state law permit requirement of the issuing state. The discharge permit requirement for the State of North Carolina is NCGS 143-215.1. 8. To maintain its status as an "authorized" state, North Carolina must deMonstrate its ability to ensure, inter alia, that NPDES permits in North Carolina meet certain 4 requirements set forth in the Clean Water Act or otherwise established by the Administrator of EPA under the Act. 33 U.S.C. §1342(b)(1). One of these requirements is that all publicly -owned treatment works (POTWs) or municipal sewage treatment plants be in compliance with discharge standards set forth in the CWA for such facilities no later than July 1, 1988. 33 U.S.C. §1311(b) and 1311(i). 9. On January 30, 1984, EPA announced a National Municipal Policy to ensure that all POTWs meet the July 1, 1988 deadline for compliance with EPA standards. 49 F.R. 3832, January 30, 1984. Under the plan, each POTW not in compliance with EPA standards would be required to submit a plan of correction to meet the standards on or before July 1, 1988. These plans were to be submitted to the NPDES permitting authority, such as North Carolina, which, in turn, would work out a compliance schedule with the particu- lar municipality. 10. In respo4se to the National Municipal Policy and in recognition of the July 1, 1988, deadline for compliance, the Department and Commission, inter alia, have identified those POTWs within the State of North Carolina where there are extraordinary circumstances that will make it impossible for the affected municipality to meet a July 1, 1988 compli- ance date. The Department and Commission have addressed, and will continue to address; 1) completed facilities that 5 are not in compliance; 2) municipalities that are in the construction grants process to receive funding from federal and state sources; and 3) municipalities that need construction to meet statutory requirements but may not receive federal or state grant assistance. 11. Appropriate administrative orders or penalties are pursued where necessary and authorized. However, the National Municipal Policy, and the North Carolina strategy for its implementation, requires that, where extraordinary circumstances preclude compliance by POTWs by July 1, 1988, such POTWs be placed on judicially enforceable schedules for achieving compliance as soon as possible thereafter. FACTS APPLICABLE TO THIS ACTION 12. The Town of Stanley holds North Carolina NPDES Permit No. NC0020036 for operation of an existing wastewater treatment works, the Stanley Wastewater Treatment Plant, and for making an outlet therefrom for treated wastewater to Mauney Creek, Class C waters of this State, in the Catawba River Basin, but is unable to comply with the final effluent limitations for BOD, TSS, and NH3 as N as set forth in the Permit. Compliance will require preparation of plans and specifications for, and construction and operation of, additional treatment works. The noncompliance with final effluent limitations constitutes causing and contributing to M pollution of the waters of the State, and the Town is within the jurisdiction of the Commission as set forth in NCGS Chapter 143, Article 21. 13. The Town of Stanley, due to its noncompliance, must provide financing for, plan and construct treatment works which will treat the wastewater presently being discharged and any additional wastewater desired to be discharged, to the extent that the Town will be able to comply with final permit effluent limitations. REMEDY 14. The Stanley Wastewater Treatment Plant of the Town of Stanley is currently being operated in non-compliance with the State's water quality statutes and is unable to correct its non-compliance by July 1, 1988. The operation of the plant is a violation or threatened violation of the water quality statutes, giving rise to injunctive relief under NCGS 143-215.6(c). Continued operation of the plant is not in the public interest, unless coupled with a definite, enforceable schedule of events leading to compliance as soon as possible. 15. The injury suffered by the State and its citizens is continuing, immediate, pressing and irreparable, and is clearly established by this verified Complaint. r� CLAIM FOR RELIEF WHEREFORE, the plaintiff prays the Court: 1. To consider this verified Complaint as an affida- vit upon which to base all orders of the Court. 2. To issue a preliminary injunction, and a permanent injunction upon trial on the merits, restraining and enjoin- ing the defendant, Town of Stanley, from operating the Stanley Wastewater Treatment Plant in violation of the North Carolina water quality statutes, the federal Clean Water Act, and any permits issued thereunder, or in the alternative, To issue a preliminary injunction, and a permanent injunction upon trial on the merits, restraining and enjoining the defendant, Town of Stanley, from operating the Stanley Wastewater Treatment Plant, unless said operation is undertaken pursuant to a definite, enforceable schedule leading to compliance as soon as possible. 3. To tax the costs of this action to the defendant, Town of Stanley. 4. To grant such further relief as the Court may deem appropriate. This the day of . 1988. LACY H.

Paul Vilms, Director Division of Environmental Management By Authority of the Environmental Management Commission DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT December 10, 1986 MEMORANDUM TO: Bob Teulings FROM: Rex Gleason PREPARED BY: Michael L. Parkeroy SUBJECT: Authorization to Construct Town of Stanley WWTP improvements AC0020036 Gaston County, N. C. This Office has conducted a review of the request from the Town of Stanley concerning the proposed improvements of the Town's WWTP. The Town of Stanley is currently operating under an SOC until WWTP improvements can be made and compliance achieved. Initially the Town had proposed to construct tertiary filters following the secondary clarifiers and prior to entering the chlorine contact chamber. These filters, according to the Town's engineer, would reduce BODS and TSS on an interim basis and enable the WWTP to achieve compliance with its NPDES Permit. These filters could be eliminated at such time as normal design flows are measured at the WWTP. The MRO does not believe that tertiary filters are the solution to the Town's WWTP problems. It is recommended that the Town undertake further engineering studies regarding the existing problem and provide supportive evidence (data etc.) of any recommendation to correct the problem. Permit No. NCO020036 SUPPLEMENT TO PERMIT COVER SHEET Town of Stanley is hereby authorized to: 1. Continue to operate a 1.40 MGD extended aeration wastewater treatment plant with clarifiers, aerobic digestors, drying beds and chlorination facilities located in Stanley (See Part III of this Permit), and 2. Discharge from said treatment works into Mauney Creek which is classified Class "C" waters in the Catawba River Basin. 3 W A. (1).

PART III Permit No. NC PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS Requirements for Effluent Limitations on Pollutants Attributable to Industrial Users 1. Effluent limitations from this discharger are listed in Part I of this permit. It is apparent that other pollutants attributable to inputs from major contributing industries using the municipal system may also be present in the permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient information becomes available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be revised to specify effluent limitations for any or all of such other pollutants in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality standards. 2. Under no circumstances shall the permittee allow introduction of the following wastes into the waste treatment system: a. Wastes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works. b. Wastes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment works. C. Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to the flow in sewers or interference with the proper operation of the treatment works. d. Wastewaters at a flow rate and/or pollutant discharge rate which is excessive over relatively short time periods so as to cause a loss of treatment efficiency. e. Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the treatment works resulting in interference but in no case heat in such quantities o that the temperature at the treatment works influent exceeds 40 C (104 F) unless the works are designed to accomodate such heat. (After August 25, 1981) 3. With regard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of this permit, it may be necessary for the permittee to supplement the requirements of the Federal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR, Part 403) to ensure compliance by the permittee with all applicable effluent limitations. Such actions by the permittee may be necessary regarding some or all of the major contri- buting industries discharging to the municipal system. The permittee shall require each major contributing industry subject to pre-treatment standards or any other applicable requirements promulgated pursuant to Section 307 of the Act to submit to the permittee periodic notice (at intervals not to exceed 9 months) regarding specific actions taken to achieve full compliance with the requirements of Section 307. Starting on the permittee shall submit semi-annually to the permit issuing authority a report summarizing the progress of all known major contributing industries subject to the requirements of Section 307 towards full compliance with such requirements. Such report shall include at least the following information: Z 4 , PART TII Permit No. NC a. A narrative summary of actions taken by the permittee to ensure that all major contributing industries comply with the requirements of Section 307. b. The number of major contributing industries using the treatment works, divided into SIC group categories. c. The number of major contributing industries in full compliance with the requirements of Section 307, or not subject to these requirements (e.g., discharge only compatible pollutants). d. A list identifying by name those major contributing industries presently in violation of the requirements of Section 307. 4. Immediately upon issuance of this permit, the permittee shall establish and implement a procedure to obtain from all major contributing indus- tries specific information on the quality and quantity of effluents intro- duced by such industrial users. The following information shall be reported to the permitting agency on a quarterly basis beginning ; quarterly reports reflecting no change from the previous quarter may simply relate this fact, without submitting repetitive data. a. Section IV, Standard Form A shall be completed and submitted for each major contributing industry. b. Information on the municipal facility as a whole is to be reported on the monthly Monitoring Report Form (DEM - No. MR 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3). Once the specific nature of industrial contributions has been identified, data collection and reporting requirements may be levied for other parameters in addition to those included on Form (DEM No. 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3). 5. Based on the information regarding industrial inputs reported by the permittee pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the permittee will be notified by the permitting authority of the availability of industrial effluent guidelines on which to calculate allowable inputs of incompatible pollutants based on BPT for each industry group. Copies of guidelines will be provided as appropriate. Not later than 120 days following receipt of this information, the permittee shall submit to the permitting authority calculations reflecting allowable inputs from each major con- tributing industry. The permittee shall also require all such major contributing industries to implement necessary pre-treatment requirements (as provided for in 40 CFR, Part 403), providing the permitting authority with notifications of specific actions taken in this regard. At that time, the permit may be amended to reflect the municipal facility's effluent requirements for incompatible pollutants. TOWN OF STANLEY ESTABLISHED NOVEMBER 14, 1855 P. O.

We request the compliance date for submitting plans and specifications for additional treatment be extended to February 1, 1987, for the following reasons: 1. We have retained Environmental Wastewater Services to prepare a feasibility study for the waste water treatment system. This study will examine the process and then offer solutions which -will bring the plant into compliance in accordance with our NPDES Permit, 2. E.W.S. has reviewed the plans and specifications for construction of Tertiary Sand Filters. They believe this is not a workable solution to the problem for the following: A. Although, these filters will reduce the BOD and TSS on an interim basis, they will be ineffective in reducing them for an extended period of time. B. Because the filters will be subject to high concentrations of solids, they will soon become RE. F-iV E D saturated and require solids removal. In order for the filters to remain efficient, the solids will have to be removed every three to four days. C. The removal of solids and maintenance on the system is labor intensive and expensive. E.W.S. has taken the following steps in preparing a study: A. Performed on —site evaluations and lab analysis. B. Consulted with other facilities experiencing similar problems. Co Consulted with specialists from Clemson University, %ho believe our problems can be solved without any major modifications to our existing facility. A complete study from E.W.S. and a decision along with plans and specifications will be submitted to your office by February 1, 1987. Upon your approval of the option chosen, we will then begin construction of the modifications. The constructior. will require 60 days for completion. We foresee no problems in complying with the June 1, 19879 deadline for full compliance of the current NPDES Permit. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me or Dean McGinnis, Town Manager, at 263-4779 or Mr. Leonard Stogner, President of E.W.S. at (704) 788-9497. Cordially, C" Donald A.

Existing Facilities: The existing treatment facilities which comprise the Stanley wastewater treatment plant are the following: a bar screen, parshall flume, an aeration basin with (3) 40 h.p. aerators, two (2) rectangular clarifiers, two (2) chlorine contact basins) aerobic sludge digestor and sludge drying beds. The wastewater treatment facilities are designed for a maximum flow of 1.4 MGD; however current flow levels are averaging approximate: 300,000 gpd. The Town's major industrial discharger, Talon Zipper, Inc., no longer discharges industrial dyes and, therefore, reduced the average daily flow by approximately 15%. PART III - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS: 1. Performance Evaluation: According to self -monitoring data and a recent CEA (dated September 18, 1984), the wastewater treatment facilities are in compliance with Permit limitations. 2. 0 & M Evaluation: The wastewater treatment plant appeared in good operating condition. The Town is currently disposing of the very small amount of -2- sludge generated at this facility by spreading it on Town property, i.e., ball fields, etc. . The Town should cease this practice and develop an alternative method of sludge disposal which must be approved by this agency. 3. Recommendations and/or special conditions: It is recommended that -the NPDES Permit for this facility be renewed. t.i1VAL V V 1\ • L a nnrr-r, E 490 A Lf XIS 2.5 Ml,*491 - -- 5 - 492 t 3914000m N.

M7 PART II Permit No. NC A. MANAGEMENT REQUIREMENTS 1. Change in Discharge All discharges authorized herein shall be consistent with the terms and conditions of this permit. The discharge of any pollutant identified in this permit more frequently than or at a level in excess of that authorized shall constitute a violation of the permit. Any anticipated facility expansions, production increases, or process modifications which will result in new, different, or increased discharges of pollutants must be reported by submission of a new NPDES application or, if such changes will not violate the effluent limitations specified in this permit, by notice to the DEM of such changes. Following such notice, the permit may be modified to specify and limit any pollutants not previously limited. 2. Non compliance Notification If, for any reason, the permittee does not comply with or will be unable to comply with any effluent limitation specified in this permit, the per- mittee shall provide the Division of Environmental Management with the following information, in writing, within five (5) days of becoming aware of such condition: a. A description of the discharge and cause of noncompliance; and b. The period of noncompliance, including exact dates and times; or, if not corrected; the anticipated time the noncompliance is expected to continue, and steps being taken to reduce, eliminate and prevent recurrence of the noncomplying discharge. 3. Facilities Operation The permittee shall at all times maintain in good working order and operate as efficiently as possible all treatment or control facilities or systems installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit. 4. Adverse Impact The permittee shall take all reasonable steps to minimize any adverse impact to navigable waters resulting from noncompliance with any effluent limitations specified in this permit, including such accelerated or additional monitoring as necessary to determine the nature and impact of the noncomplying discharge. 5. Bypassing Any diversion from or bypass of facilities necessary to maintain compliance with the terms and conditions of this permit is prohibited, except (i) where M8&I7 PART II Permit No. NC unavoidable to prevent loss of life or severe property damage, or (ii) where excessive storm drainage or runoff would damage any facilities necessary for complaince with the effluent limitations and prohibitions of this permit. All permittees who have such sewer bypasses or overflows of this discharge shall submit, not later than six months from the date of issue of this permit, detailed data or engineering estimates which identify: a. The location of each sewer system bypass or overflow; b. The frequency, duration and quantity of flow from each sewer system bypass or overflow. This requirement is waived where infiltration/inflow analyses are scheduled to be performed as part of an Environmental Protection Agency facilities planning project. 6. Removed Substances Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of wastewaters shall be disposed of in a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable waters of the United States. 7. Power Failures The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards to prevent the discharge of untreated of inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated efflu- ent. Should the treatment works not include the above capabilities at time of permit issuance, the permittee must furnish within six months to the permitting authority, for approval, an implementation schedule for their installing, or documentation demonstrating that such measures are not necessary to prevent discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes. Such documentation shall include frequency and duration of power failures and an estimate of retention capacity of untreated effluent. B. Onshore or Offshore Construction This permit does not authorize or approve the construction of any onshore or offshore physical structures or facilities or the undertaking of any work in any navigable waters.

In order to receive authorization to discharge beyond the expiration date, the permittee shall submit such information, forms, and fees as are required by the agency authorized to issue permits -no .later than 180 days prior to the expiration date. Any discharge without a permit after the expiration will subject the permittee to enforcement proce- dures as provided in N. C. G. S. 143-215.6, and 33 USC 1251 et seq. 11. Industrial Pretreatment Standards Permittee shall require any industrial dischargers into the permitted system to meet Federal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR, Part 403 ) promulgated in response to Section 307(b) of the Act. The permittee shall provide semi-annual reports to the permitting agency regarding the pre-treatment requirements which have been imposed on each major contri- buting industry and the results achieved therefrom. Other information may be needed regarding new industrial discharges and this will be requested from the permittee after the permitting agency has received notice of the new industrial discharge. A major contributing industry is one that: (1) has a flow of 50,000 gallons or more per average work day; (b) has a flow greater than five percent of the flow carried by the municipal system receiving the waste; (c) has in its waste a toxic pollutant in toxic amounts as defined in standards issued under Section 307(a) of the Act; (d) has significant impact either singly or in combination with other contributing industries, on the treatment works or the quality of its effluent. Any change in the definition of a major contributing industry as a result of promulgations in response to Section 307 of the Act shall become a part of this Permit. f PART III Page of Permit No. NC PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS �. Requirements for Effluent Limitations on Pollutants Attributable to Industrial Users 1. Effluent ]_imitations from this discharger are listed in Part I of this permit. It is apparent that other pollutants attributable to inputs from major contributing industries using the municipal system may also be present in the permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient information becomes available to establish limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be revised to specify effluent limitations for any or all of such other pollutants in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality standards. ?. Under no circumstances shall the permittee allow introduction of the following wastes into the waste treatment system: a. Wastes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works. b. Wastes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment works. C. Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to the flow in sewers or interference with the proper operation of the treatment works. d. Wastewaters at a flow rate and/or pollutant discharge rate which is excessive over relatively short time periods so as to cause a loss of treatment efficiency. e. Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the treatment works resulting in interference but in no cane heat in such quantities that the temperature at the treatment works influent exceeds 40 C (1040 P) unless the works are designed to accomodate such heat. (After August 25, 1981) 3. with regard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of this permit, it may be necessary for the permittee to supplement the requirements of the rederal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR, Part 403) to ensure compliance by the permittee with all applicable effluent limitations. Such actions by the permittee may be necessary regarding some or all of the major contri- buting industries discharging to the municipal system. The permittee shall require each major contributing industry subject to pre-treatment standards or any other applicable requirements promulgated pursuant to Section 307 of the Act to submit to the permittee periodic notice (at intervals not to exceed 9 months) regarding specific actions taken to achieve full compliance with the requirements of Section 307. Starting on the permittee shall submit semi-annually to the permit issuing authority a report summarizing the progress of all known major contributing industries subject to the requirements of Section 307 towards full compliance with such requirements. Such report shall include at least the following information: PART III Page of Permit No. NC a. A narrative summary of actions taken by the permittee to ensure that all major contributing industries comply with the requirements of Section 307. b. The number of major contributing industries using, the treatment works, divided into SIC group categories. c. The number of major contributing industries in full compliance with the requirements of Section 307, or not subject to these requirements (e.g., discharge only compatible pollutants). d. A list identifying by name those major contributing industries presently in violation of the requirements of Section 307. 4. Immediately upon issuance of this permit, the permittee shall establish and implement a procedure to obtain from all major contributing indus- tries specific information on the quality and quantity of effluents intro- duced by such industrial users. The following information shall be reported to the permitting agency on a quarterly basis beginning ; quarterly reports reflecting no change from the previous quarter may simply relate this fact, without submitting repetitive data. a. Section IV, Standard Form A shall be completed and submitted for each major contributing industry. b. Information on the municipal facility as a whole is to be reported on the monthly Monitoring Report Form (DEM - No. MR 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3). Once the specific nature of industrial contributions has been identified, data collection and reporting requirements may be levied for other parameters in addition to those included on Form (DEM No. 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and 1.3). 5. Based on the information regarding industrial inputs reported by the permittee pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the permittee will be notified by the permitting authority of the availability of industrial effluent guidelines on which to calculate allowable inputs of incompatible pollutants based on BPT for each industry group. Copies of guidelines will be provided as appropriate. Not later than 120 days following receipt of this information, the permittee shall submit to the permitting authority calculations reflecting allowable inputs from each major con- tributing industry. The permittee shall also require all such major contributing industries to implement necessary pre-treatment requirements (as provided for in 40 CFR, Part 403), providing the permitting authority with notifications of specific actions taken in this regard. At that time, the permit may be amended to reflect the municipal facility's effluent 'requirements for incompatible pollutants. PART III Permit No. NC B.
