SUBJECT: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Tracking Number: NOV-2020-LV-0663
Permit No. WQ0023580
Cove Key Townhomes on Lake Norman WWTP
Iredell County
Dear Mr. Hawkins:
A review of the June 2020 Non -Discharge Monitoring Report (NDMR) for the subject facility revealed the
violation(s) indicated below:
Limit Exceedance Violation(s):
Sample Limit Reported
Location Parameter Date Value Value Type of Violation
001 Nitrogen, Ammonia Total (as 6/17/2020 6 6.4 Daily Maximum Exceeded
N)(00610)
001 Nitrogen, Ammonia Total (as 6/17/2020 4 6.4 Monthly Average Exceeded
N)(00610)
The reported Ammonia exceedances were confirmed by email on 9-4-2020 from Mr. Brandon Long (ORC). This is
the second Ammonia violation in two consecutive sampling months. In response to the March 2020 violation an
Ammonia resample was taken on 6-3-2020 with results (0.27 mg/L) below both weekly and monthly limit values;
however, it is unacceptable to wait 3 months or until this office requests a resample to document return to
compliance. Resampling should be conducted as soon as possible after first knowledge of the exceedance.
Furthermore, Permit Condition IV.11.d. requires notification to the Division of Water Resources (DWR) - Mooresville
Regional Office (MRO) within 24 hours of first knowledge of none compliance. DWR-MRO staff did not receive that
notification in either March or June sampling exceedances. One reason for this permit condition is to allow timely
discussion of a plan to mitigate ongoing issues.

The,461V fed TSS'value and exceedance was confirmed in the NDMR comments and additional
samples pulled to meet the monthly average. The missing flow data for 7/31/2018 is noted as a
reporting error. No further response is required.
Please be aware that non-compliance with your permit could result in enforcement action by the Division of
Water Resources for these and any additional violations of State law. The Mooresville Regional Office
encourages you to take all necessary actions to bring your facility into. compliance.

Tim,
I understand what you mean about the asphalt and -manhole issue. I thought the same thing when I was there.
Your suggestion to speak with a road company is the best approach and we can give the HOA more time to
address this final issue. I will call you next Tues. when I return.
Thank You! -

Subject: Cove Key WWTF
Hello Maria,
I apologize for my delay in getting with you on the items at Cove Key. There has been one nagging issue that we have
been trying to figure out but I wanted to get with you about everything. All of the deficiencies have been corrected for a
while now as we discussed several months ago. The only thing that we are trying to figure out is the removal of the man-
hole lids for the collection system. They seem to be stuck to the point that we have been bending our big lid puller trying
to get them up. After Brandon and I have been scratching our head over this, since we have been in all of them several
times over the years, is it appears maybe the community has had some type of "top coat" or sealer put down on the road
in the recent past. In examining the rings of the manholes you used to be able to see the outside of the top ring and the
lip or the rain pans that we installed years ago. Now you can't see this, it is all part of the edge of the road right up to the
lid itself. We wonder if some type of seal or liquid was sprayed over the road without removing the man -hole lids and pans
and they have all gotten sealed with a light tar or something that is not allowing us to pull them up. I don't know what to
do at this point. It would not be a good idea to use a torch to try to liquefy or heat up the area and see of they become
somewhat pliable because of -the explosive gases produced in the system. Aside from this everything is complete and
compliant from your last report.
Chip, can you check your records and see if you can determine anything that was done in the recent past? If so, maybe
you can go back to the road contractors and have them solve the problem. Looking for ideas.
Regards,
Tim Bannister

Dear Ms. Weiner:
Staff of the Mooresville Regional Office. (MRO) conducted follow-up inspections on December 141h, 2016,
of the collection and treatment systems. The MRO met with Brandon Long (ORC) and noted that most of
the.deficiencies,stated in the NOV-2016-PC-0240 have been adequately resolved-. However,.the
.following collection system. items need to be addressed.
• Some manhole covers and storm water pans appear to be sealed in place, inhibiting proper
access and viewing of -the sanitary lines. The MRO understands, per communication with
Tri-County Wastewater, that the .HOA is in the process of tracking maintenance records to
address this issue with the responsible. contracted company.
• . Entries missing from the pumpstation's backup generator inspection log: Telemetry has
been' -instal led since the previous inspection and pump:station log entries improved but are
not yet conducted on a weekly basis. Log documentatioh of weekly inspections of; the
pump station (amount of fuel, date inspected, etc.) are required along'with working
telemetry.
• A new gate and -lock is in place at the pump, station; however, the lock was broken at the
time. of this inspection and.needs to be repaired. .
It is.requested that a written response (letter or email) be directed.to my attention by March 24th,'2017,
addressing the issues. noted above. If you have any questions or comments,. please do not hesitate to
contact meat (704) 23.5-21.84 or maria:schutte(a).ncdenr.Aov. I Will. be glad to further. discuss this with the
staff at Tri-CountyWastewater as well.

Subject: RE: Copy of NOV-2016-PC-0240 Cove Key
Hello Maria,
I want to give you a status report on the above stated NOV issued to Cove Key WWTF. Stated below is a list of
the mentioned items and their status:
1. The effluent parameters, specifically TSS and Fecal, have both been under the required limits in June,
and July. We believe the occasional limit violation that the plant has had may be due to a slight poor
design flaw. We see absolutely no change in the way the plant runs or how the effluent looks to us
during normal times of operation. It is our thought that possibly grabbing the samples during the push
of flow from the clear -well in through the higher elevation UV trough that then flows through the
outflow weir, may be where the challenge lies. The design has two effluent pumps down in the clear
well that lifts the effluent up to a higher elevation to flow by gravity into the LTV box. If we grab while
this "push" is active, it may be too turbulent and is stirring up some of the residual solids in the
pathway. We are trying to now only grab samples when the flow is resting.
2. UV monitoring display is now up and monitoring properly and the display is visible.
3. Telemetry system is being replaced and a new cellular modem telemetry is on order and we are waiting
on the controls sub -contractor to receive the product and install. It will be completed within 30 days.
We are replacing the older "land -line" type of telemetry with a more reliable "cellular" type.
4. he manholes have been serviced.
lw 5. he generator log sheets have been re -worked and are now updated and TCW is currently inspecting and
;dogging the info weekly. This was just a communication error between the HOA and TCW.
6..,'The gate to the grinder pump station has been repaired and locked.
i 7. The 5 day emergency pond has been cleaned out.
/8. Proper signage was ordered and has been received. I will mount the signs next week at the entrance to
the WWTF and on the gate of the grinder pump station.

As this shows; only one item is open and will be completed within 30 days. I will write a more formal
completion letter -response when all item have been completed. Thank you for you help and patience at Cove
Key.
As I mentioned on the phone the mailing address for the HOA at Cove Key should be:

.Dear Ms. Weiner:
Staff of the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) conducted compliance inspections on June 14th, 2016,
which included a review of the collection, treatment and irrigation systems. The MRO would like to thank
Brandon Long (ORC) for his time during the inspections. Per conversation with the Mr. Long, Tri-County
Wastewater is NOT contracted_to maintain the collection system.
Deficiencies were viewed at both the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and the collection system (CS)
and were discussed with Mr. Long while on -site. Effluent violations were noted in the. March, April and
May Non -Discharge Monitoring Reports. Routine maintenance issues are mentioned in the attached
inspection reports, but the primary issues -of concern are also presented in this letter. Please address. the
following deficiencies/violations to meet permit condition(s) and program) requirements.
Under your Reclaimed Utilization System Permit #WQ0023580:
• TSS results on recent NDMRs (March=6.2 mg/L & April=5.9 mg/L) exceed the monthly average
limit. The reported fecal value of 24 #(colonies)/100mis.on the June NDMR exceeds the monthly
average limit.
If. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
3. Effluent limitations for the generated reclaimed water shall not exceed
those specified in Attachment A. The Attachment A states a monthly
average TSS limit of 5 mg/L and a monthly average. Fecal limit of
14#(colonies)/100mis.
• Direct sunlight has damaged the ultraviolet intensity display, so it cannot be read.
Ill. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS . .
1. The reclaimed generation..,. shall be properly maintained at all times...
�- ... The telemetry for the high water alarm needs to be repaired. The WWTP`s high-water alarm
currently does not call the ORC. The system received and sent,a signal; however; Mr. Long told
the MRO staff that the auto -dialer was in need of. repair. The MRO recognizes the wastewater .

system is currently under-utilized and water. levels are such that they are unlikely to trip an alarm;
however, it is a requirement. that the auto. dialer be repaired, as it is the only alarm system
servicing the WWTP.
III. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
6. Telemetry equipment... shall be maintained in working order at all times.
Under the -deemed permitted wastewater collection system.(#WQCSD05001:

COVE KEY - Cove Key Lane
Pump Station Yes No NA NE
Are run times comparable for multiple pumps? readings were:
1750 & 2004
Comment: The autodialer needs to be repaired. This pump station has back-up with the audible & visual
alarms: however, the telemetry also serves the VWVFP which does not have any other alarm
system (& is too remote for residents to detect). The logbook is not being maintained/regular
required inspections are not being conducted - last log entry was 10-12-15. Pump station
housing is not locked. Door needs repair, hanging at an angle. Signage needs to be posted.

Dear Ms. Weiner:
Enclosed you will find the report for the compliance inspection that was conducted on December 11, 2013, in
conjunction with the permit renewal. The Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) reviewed the reclaimed water
system and application fields (permit #WQ0023580). The treatment system appeared to be operating in
accordance with conditions of the permit and irrigation fields were well maintained, at the time of inspection.
The MRO also viewed the deemed permitted wastewater collection system (#WQCSD0500), which appeared
to have proper flow, at the time of inspection; however, please note the following conditions to ensure proper.
operation of the collection system.
• ' The visual alarm did not appear operational. Verify and repair as needed.
• Entries missing from the backup generator inspection log. Start notation in the log (amount
of fuel, date inspected, etc.)
• There was some build-up of solids within the collection system (manholes). Routine
inspection, removal and proper disposal of solids build-up is recommended to maintain
proper flow..
The attached report should be self-explanatory; however, if you have any questions, please contact me at
[phone].
Sincerely, ^

The MRO met with Jackie Weiner; HOA representative, Chip Hawkins, Main Street Property
Management Group and Dale Calkins; ORC. This site visit was for renewal of the reclaimed system
permit. The treatment and disposal system appears to be operating in accordance with permit
requirements.
The application renewal did not mention reduction of site visitation; however, the MRO has discussed this
issue with the ORC and agrees that a reduction from three to two visits per week is acceptable with an
appropriate visitation schedule.
The deemed permitted wastewater collection system (#WQCSD0500) was also inspected and conditions

Other noted conditions
This site visit included an inspection of the deemed permitted wastewater collection system (#WQCSD0500),
which consists of five manholes, a pump station and back-up generator. The MRO was only able to thoroughly
inspect one manhole, as the proper tools to remove covers and liners were unavailable. Flow could be seen and
appeared unrestricted; however, there was evidence of stormwater intrusion, from mud layer at bottom of shaft.
The solids build-up should be monitored periodically and removed (pump and hauler) as needed should it
interfere with proper flow through the lines.
Fuel levels at the back-up generator are being checked weekly, but the log has not been maintained and needs to
be.
Audible alarms were working at time of inspection, but the visual alarm on the control box did not appear to be.
Bulb may need replacement.
Note: The collection system is not covered under the drip irrigation permit (WQ0023580) and is the
responsibility of the HOA to maintain. It is not considered to be a routine function of the ORC

Iredell County
This office recently received an inquiry from your representative regarding the referenced permit. It is our
understanding that the Town of Mooresville is extending municipal sewer service in the vicinity of the Cove
Key development and that the association wishes to pursue the opportunity to connect the development to the
sewer system.
This office supports such action since it is one of the conditions of the Home/Property Owners' Operational
Agreement between the Division of Water Quality and the association. Upon notification that the
development's wastewater has been accepted and discharged into the Town's system, this office can provide
guidance on decommissioning the existing treatment and disposal system and rescission of the permit.
Should you have any questions, feel free to call me at 704/235-2183 or contact me via email at:

Enclosed you will find the report for the compliance inspection that was conducted on June 18, 2012.
Both the treatment system and the reclaimed water system were found to be in compliance with
permit conditions. It appears that the arrangement of reduced operator visits and telemetry has
proved sufficient in maintaining compliance at this facility.
The Aquifer Protection Section and Land Application Unit have a new web address:

Enclosed you will find the report for the compliance inspection that I conducted on August 25, 2010.
The report should be self-explanatory however, one finding requires particular note. The treatment
system appears to be operating in compliance with the referenced permit but the application fields
have become significantly overgrown. This situation makes it more difficult for the operator to
troubleshoot and maintain the intregity of the drip lines. Please attend to this matter and notify me
when the work is complete so that I may schedule a follow-up inspection.
As a result of passage of Session Law 2009-046, the expiration date of your permit has been
extended to November 30, 2012. An application for renewal must be submitted to the division at least
180 days prior to that date.

Permit No. WQ0023580
Cove Key Town Homes on Lake Norman
Iredell County
Dear Peggy,
As the management company responsible for the Operation of the Cove Key WWTP and further
employee's the ORC for the same facility, consider this letter, on behalf of Cove Key Association,
Inc., as the response to the N.O.V. dated April 26, 2010 indicating violations of the permit
conditions "11.3." and "IV.10.d." in the month of January 2010. Action has been taken to bring the
conditions back in to compliance.
Findings and Actions taken on condition 11.3: We had a personnel change at the end of the year
of 2009. The ORC at that time performed a "wasting " of the old sludge and we found that he
wasted too much causing the mixed liquor to drop to lower than desired levels. The plant also
had been struggling with very cold extended periods causing the microbes to be less active and
not flocking well causing settling issues and pin flock to occur. We had spoken with Barbara
Sifford on this matter to ask for any recommendations and understood everyone was
experiencing some degree of difficulties during this period of time. The new ORC immediately
started adding microbes to seed and micro nutrients in order to build the mixed liquor mass back
to acceptable levels. He slowed the incoming flow slightly, gave more EQ time, to provide longer
detention for settling and contact in air basin. He added some polymer to aid in flocking. By the
end of January 2010 the quality of effluent generated was greatly improved and the all sampling
has shown compliant since that point to now.
Action taken on condition IVA O.d: The ORC understood the permit requirement to be 10.0 for the
daily limit of TSS. He overlooked the "monthly average" limit of 5.0 coming into play when there
is only one sampling for the month taken. He didn't realize the plant was "out of limit° thus
reporting to the MRO was deemed unnecessary. This is now understood and clear.

Improved Operations and Proposed Change to ORC Visit Requirement
Permit # WQ0023580
Ms. Finley,
We totally understand our responsibilities as facility owner to assure aquifer
protection according to our Permit. We have implemented significant changes to
assure improved operating performance as positively reflected in monitoring
reports submitted to you monthly. As we have discussed during your past visits
to the site, our Waste Water Treatment System imposes a significant (>$2300/yr)
financial burden on each of the 19 homeowners in the community.
We believe that we have determined certain operational controls and
improved 24-hour monitoring facilities which will assure even better
protection for the environment while somewhat reducing the excessive
operating costs to homeowners. Please see the attached Proposal.
We would like to meet with you, others from your office, and personnel from TCW
within the few weeks if possible. Our purpose would be to show you on site what
we have accomplished and additional changes we propose to make to improve
operating results and reduce environmental risks. If you agree, we would make
the improvements, verify effectiveness of improved 24-hour instrumented
monitoring and go to the new proposed ORC visit requirement as soon as
possible.
Thank you for your consideration of this proposal which we feel will help assure
more rapid detection and response to potential operating issues and therefore
better protection for environment.

Dear Mr. Leeds:
Chapter 143, North Carolina General Statutes, authorizes and directs the Environmental Management
Commission of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources to protect and preserve the.
water and air resources of the State. The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has the delegated

Peggy, thanks for your time. The discussions and actions will be very helpful
to assure that we operate within permit parameters and operate the system in an
effective say. I meant to ask if your report will come to the Community, TCW
or CSI, the management company. I either case, I would appreciate a copy and
also a copy of your very helpful spreadsheet summarizing recent performance
compared to permit limitations. Email is fine if that's easiest for you.
Thank you.

Inspection Summary: (additional comments may be included on attached pages)
The required components of the treatment system are operational but a review of the effluent
monitoring data indicates that the limits for BOD5, NH3-N TSS, fecal coliform and turbidity
have, at various times, not been met. The system is underutilized. An evaluation needs to
be conducted in order to determine how to bring it into compliance. The application fields are
in good condition.

Hey Bryan:
I wanted to touch base with you to see if the drip system at Cove Key was in
operation yet. Our database system is waving red flags because it hasn't received
the NDARs and NDMRs required by the permit but it's only an issue if the system is in
use.
Thanks
