The permit expires on 1-31-2010, please request a permit renewal 6 months prior to expiration. The Annual Performance Report has been filed for the year and was on -site, along with a complete copy of the current permit. The aeration basin process control data was as follows on the day of the inspection. Temperature = 14.1 degrees Celcius Tip: The ideal level for dissolved oxygen in the aeration basin is generally 1 to 3 mg/I. Seasonal changes in temperature require the adjustment of the aeration timer to achieve ideal dissolved oxygen levels. Settleable Solids # 1 (left side) = 900/1000 ml/I = 90% # 2 (right side) = 10/1000 ml/I = 1 % It appeared that a toxic substance (possibly cleaning agents) had entered the plant and affected the # 2 aeration basin. Tip: Using the settleability test, the return sludge pumping rate is usually set so that the flow rate is approximately equal to the percentage volumes occupied by the settleable solids from the aeration basin after settling for 30 minutes in a settleometer. For example, a settleability of 30% would generally indicate a recommended return sludge pumping rate of 30%. Having the percent settleable solids (i.e. 30%) the same as the percent return sludge pumping rate (i.e. 30%), allows for the solids balance in the plant to be maintained. If the plant cannot handle that return sludge pumping rate, then wasting is probably recommended. pH = 7.3 units The effluent data was as follows on the day of the inspection. Temperature = 13.4 degrees Celcius Chlorine = 0.8 mg/I pH = 7.3 units Harry and Juanita James, the contract operators, were on -site during the inspection. The log book was present on -site and had good notation of daily events. The effluent appeared to be clear, indicating compliance with permit limits. This facility appears to be well operated and maintained. Jim, Smith, the operator, is doing a good job.

Handrails have been installed in two locations, the holes in the ground have been filled, additional hasps have been installed on the blower housings, and the diffusers in the sludge digestor have been replaced. The main power box is on the outside of the fencing for the plant and is not locked. The power box is therefore susceptible to vandalism. The highwater alarm was not functional. The highwater alarm must be fixed. Some walkway gratings over the plant are excessively corroded and pose a threat to safety. The corroded walkway gratings should be removed and/or replaced. There were no lids or filters on the blowers. The lids and filters should be replaced. The flowmeter must be calibrated annually. The last calibration was October 13, 2004. Also, the stilling well for the flowmeter float was potentially Inoperable due to accumulation of excessive solids. The float was pushed up against the side of the stilling well at the time of the inspection. The discharge point for the effluent was not apparent.. The discharge point must be located and a clear path to it maintained at all times.

Although -the effluent from this facility was clear and considered compliant with the limits contained in the facility's NPDES permit, the overall poor condition of the facility violated the condition contained in Part II C.2 of this same permit which requires the facility to be properly maintained and operated. The following problems were noted: 1. The gate entering the plant needs to be fixed. 2. The holes between and around the plant need to be filled. The inspector tripped in one of these holes and nearly fell into the digester on the lower level. 3. The bar screen housing in the splitter box is rusted. This needs to be fixed. 4. The bar screen in the lower facility is rusted through and needs replacing. 5. Sections of the wall in the upper plant have rusted to such an extent that the layers of metal plating forming the wall have begun to separate. 6: The blower housings are in need of repair. 7. The door to one of the blower housings is being held on by a bungee cord that is nearly worn in half. This is unacceptable. This needs to be repaired.

The equalization tank blower motor was creating a loud racket. This possibly suggests a bad bearing needing replacement. -9. The digester was black and appeared to be septic. Sufficient air needs to be provided to this tank to prevent it from becoming septic. 10. The flow meter was not recording. Whether it was due to the pen ink being out or. to the unit being defective, itself, could not be determined. 11.The float in the flow meter stilling well was stuck due to the presence of accumulated sludge around it affecting. the accuracy of the flow measurement. Since the flow meter calibration technician noted scum build up around the float in his report October 13, 2004 as well, the ORC needs to routinely check this. There are no railings around the wastewater treatment facility. At the very least, one should be installed between the upper level of the wastewater treatment facility and the lower level where the equalization basin and digester are located. You should be aware that effluent violations attributable to the poor condition of this facility will subject you to the assessment of civil penalties for both effluent limitsviolations and for the violation of the condition contained in Part II C.2 of the facility's NPDES permit. This facility will need extensive renovation. Since the City of Marion's sewer collection system is now available to the Super 8 Motel and since the NPDES permit for this facility is due to expire July 31, 2005, connection to the city rather than extensive renovation, and perhaps replacement, would be the most viable option. Please respond in writing no later than August 1, 2005, addressing the above stated points. If you should have' any questions, please. contact Janet Cantwell at 828-296-4500.. Sincerely, Roger C.

The steps leading down to the plant are high and too narrow for placement of feet. Since there is no railing around the plants, an individual could misstep and fall headlong into the basins. The holes between and around the plants need to be filled. One of the inspectors tripped and nearly fell into the digester because of one of these holes. This would also suggest that some type of railing should be installed between the upper and lower levels of the facility. The bar screens' housing is rusted at the splitter box and the bar screen in the lower plant is Completely rusted through. The bar screen in the upper plant appears fine. Portions of the wall in the upper plant have become rusted such that the metal is beginning to slough off. The blower housings need sanding and repainting. The door of one of the blowers is being held on by a bungee cord which is about to break. If this happens, the door will wind up in the facility. The filters on the blowers could not be accessed. They need to be checked to determine if they need to be replaced. The digester was black in color, suggesting it may have been septic. The equalization tank blower motor was making a loud racket, possibly suggesting that the bearings need replacing. The.flow meter recorder was not recording. Either the pen was out of ink or it wasn't functioning at all. In addition to this, the float was stuck in the stilling well due to accumulated scum. A notation on the flow meter calibration record dated 10/13/04 indicated scum buildup around the float at that time also. The technician also noted that the meter at that time was reading 70,000 gpd when actual flow was 5,000 gpd. The ORC needs to make sure this stays cleaned out. The City of Marion's Sewer Collection System is now accessible. The treatment facility is in need of such renovation as to warrant connection to the City of Marion as the best option for the Super 3 Motel. 9 NCDENR North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality Michael F.

Ross, Jr., Secretary Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director Enclosed with this letter is a copy of the draft permit for your facility. Please review the draft very carefully to ensure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains. The draft permit contains the following significant changes from your current permit: • A Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) daily maximum limit has been added. Since the issuance of the existing permit, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission has adopted rules that establish a water quality standard for TRC. As a result, since April 1, 2003, permits issued for all facilities that add chlorine as a part of their processes include a TRC limit. Because additional treatment units will likely have to be constructed in order to meet the limit, please note the limit will not become effective until 18 months following the effective date of the permit. The attached memo should help explain the permitting policy. • Daily maximum limits for ammonia have been added to the permit. Since December 2002, the Division has been adding daily maximum limits for ammonia to permits with monthly average limits in order to conform to federal NPDES regulations. • The permit contains a requirement for you to submit a report documenting the current and future availability of sewer service at your location. The report will be due no later than 180 days following the issuance of the permit. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 512 N.

NiC00 00209 -j5 88 Motel Dear Ms. Cantwell, This Letter is in reference to the Notice of Violation received by James & 1ames Environmentat on June 21, 2004. The violation was for Super 8 Motel in regard to the elevated Fecal Coliforra of>600 colonies/100 mis acid AmNimonia rogen monthly average ofb2 amg/1 for April, 2004. We have been attempting to find that optimum point where there is enough chlorine to do an adequate hill ofthe bactaria without wasting the oliennts money in over chlorinating and then over de - chlorinating. We were trying to run a chlorine residual around a 0.5 mg/l. This is the time that we have violated the Fecal Coliform limits. We have determined that with maintaining a ehlorine residual between a.0.8 mg/t and a 1.2 mg/i the fecal count is within permit limits. The Ammonia Nitrogen, we believe, was due to the thorough cleaning,of the motel with products that were detrimental to the W WTP. We have instructed the owners as to the proper materials to clean with that are effective yet iricndly to the system. While we do not wish to be negligent in the enforcement of the permit limits, we do not wish to be wasteful with the clients financial requirements either.

I noticed on BIMS that you were the last person to inspect this facility so I thought I'd pose these questions to you. Please forgive me and pass the message along if I should have directed it elsewhere. In the current permit, there is a condition that requires the facility to submit an EAA. It was supposed to be submitted by October 27, 2001, but we don't have any record of it being sent. The file we have up here imply there may be a sewer line close to the facility that they may be able to tie.in to. My questions are: Is there now a sewer line nearby? Have you received or seen a copy of an EAA for;, -his -facility? Are you concerned if we haven't received one and should I,send Mr. Patel a"letter demanding its submittal? Should the EAA requirement be continued in the permit currently being drafted? Thank you.

The Isothermal Planning Commission has indicated that they are capable ofaecepting the discher-go from tuts l tcrlity. Ifte tarty of Marron hes eonstructed a force main sewer line to ran behind the property of Park Inn international (Days Inn Marion) to run the extent of TJighway 221 to encompass Glenwood Elementary School. The connection of Super would demand.the construction and installation of a pump station with large enough pumps to force the wastewater into an ahtady flowing line. The line installed by the City of Marion is a force main. ' It was determined by the Isothermal Planning Commission that time amount of fiords required for tic on to thcir force mein is 936,982.62. The City, ofMadon is not prepared to finance this amount to any project. Jun 06 05 03:3Ip JAMES & JAMES ENV. MNGMT. 028-687-0065 p.3 According to the cost proposal developed by William Lapsley and Associates for the Isothermal Planning Commission. the cast of eonshvdion far Park Inn International wouldbe approximately $105,179. This world include 425 L.F. of 8" sewer line, a 4" manhole, a 40 gpm pump station, service conncction and mobilization- This amount does not cover the cost of engineering and legal. documentation. With the tie on fee noted in the Isotbermat plan, the cost of the project nears $155.000 dollars. The facility now being operated, has an excellent history of compliance. At present costs, it would take over 25 years to break- even on the project, not to mention the dollar amount that would be e accrued through the payment ofsewer use fees, and upkeep ofthe lift station. Bassi upon all facts presented, we believe that pumping our waste into the City ofMarion's waste water collection line would not be cost effective at this time.

Ross; Jr., Gregory J. Thorpe. Ph.D. Acting Director Division of V ater Quality Subject: Wastewater Treatment for the Businesses Located South of the Intersection of U.S. ,Highway 221 and Interstate Highway,40 McDowell County The purpose of this letter to establish the Division of Water Quality's position regarding connection of the businesses located south of the intersection of U.S. Highway 221 and Interstate Highway 40 in McDowell County to the City of Marion's Wastewater Collection System. It is the Division's mandate to assure the most environmentally sound alternative be selected from all reasonably cost effective options —,with regards to the elimination of surface water point source discharges. The Division sy. oborts the efforts of the Isothermal Planning and Development Commission to gain funding for the connection of these businesses to the System, believing this to be an environmentally sound option. The businesses have operated successfully for many years utilizing package wastewater treatment plants, however, the Division views the retirement of the two (2)-package plants as an improvement to the water quality of the region by eliminating two (2) surface water point source discharges. The Plants are currently owned by Jai-Ambre Company Inc./doing business as/Super 8 Motel and Park Inn International/doing business as/ Days Inn. The wastewater from these businesses, once connected to the System, would ultimately be treated at the City's Corpening Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant.

However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. - Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A .sample collected over a 24-h0ur period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in such a manner as to result in a total sample representativeof the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, .etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples , may be .collected manually or_- automatically. Composite samples may, be obtained by the following -methods: (1) Continuous: a -single; continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24,h6ur period of discharge and .combined proportional to- the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a'24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement. between sample intervals shall be determined' by use of a -flow recorder and totalizer,. and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1 /24 of the expected total daily flow.at the treatment system, or (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval.. This method may only be used in situations where effluent.,flow rates vary less than 15 percent, The grab samples: shall be taken at intervals of no. greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than•100. milliliters. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. Version6/20/2003 . ' • • NPDES Permit Requirements Page 2 of 16 In accordance with (4) above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor the' number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the,Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).

Director Division of Water Quality Subject: Super 8 Motel Permit Renewal McDowell County Please find attached a copy of the proposed renewal permit for the Super 8 Motel (NCO060208) in McDowell County. Kindly note the proposed changes outlined in the cover letter. Review of the facility's discharge monitoring reports suggested that the plant would have periodic problems complying with the proposed ammonia limitation. Are there operational changes that would allow compliance with the proposed ammonia limitation or should a schedule (allowing construction of additional equipment) be included in the permit? Your attention is appreciated. Please contact me if there are questions. Sincerely, 9T R.

The draft permit contains the following significant changes from your current permit: •: gotal Residual Ch"lonne(TRC) daily maximum limit has been added.

As a result, since April 1, 2003, permits issued for all facilities that add chlorine as a part of their processes include a TRC limit. Because additional treatment units will likely have to be constructed in order to meet the limit, please note the limit will not become effective until 18 months following the effective date of the permit. The attached memo should help explain the permitting policy. e:-Dai y�maximum limits for ammonia have been added to the permit. Since December �2002, the Division has beenaddindailymaximum limits for ammonia to permits with monthly average limits in order to conform to federal NPDES regulations. • The permit contains azequirement_for_y_ou to submit a report documen ing the curren� and future availability of_sewer senvice at your location.

Goodrich NPDES Unit Supervisor Michael F. Easley Governor William G. Ross, Jr., Secretary North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources June 19, 2003 SUBJECT: Total Residual Chlorine Policy for NPDES permits Alan W. Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality Every three years the State is required by the Clean Water Act to review its surface water quality standards and classifications, determine if changes are needed and to make any necessary changes. This review process is referred to as the "triennial review." Public hearings were held to solicit comments for the 2000-2003 Triennial Review of surface water quality standards during the summer of 2002. The Hearing Officer's recommendations were presented before the state's Environmental Management Commission on October 10, 2002. The Hearing Officer's recommended changes included modifications to the existing standards for Arsenic, Cyanide, Methylene Blue Active Substances (MBAS) and Total Residual Chlorine (TRC). The Hearing Officer also recommended the addition of a standard for Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether All of the Heating Officer's proposed changes were adopted with the exception of MTBE. The changes took effect on April 1, 2003. This memo documents the changes to the NPDES permitting policy for TRC limits. Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) Previously, TRC had an Action Level Standard, except in designated Trout waters. The Triennial Review changes modified the TRC Action Level Standard to an Aquatic Life Standard of 17 µg/L. The Aquatic Life Standard will remain for designated Trout waters. Aquatic Life Standard —17 µg/L (freshwater only) Trout Waters — 17 µg/L Revised TRC Policy ➢ TRC limits will be assigned to permit renewals and all new permits issued after April 1., 2003. ➢ Facilities that do not use chlorine will not receive a TRC limit; however, the presence of a chlorine back-up system to augment LTV or other disinfection requires a-TRC limit. ➢ Facilities discharging to streams with a 7Q10 <0.05 cfs (zero -flow streams) will receive a limit of 17 µg/L. ➢ Limits will be capped at 28 µg/L to protect against acute impacts. It is likely that many facilities will need to add dechlorination (or use another means of disinfection) to comply with the new TRC standard. Therefore, a compliance schedule of 18 months from the effective date of the permit may be added to any TRC limit added during the current permit renewal. This time period is allowed in order for the facility to budget and design/construct the dechlorination and/or alternative disinfection system(s). The NPDES Unit has promulgated minimum design criteria in order to expedite permitting of dechlorination equipment. cc: Coleen Sullins Regional Office Supervisors (Dechlorination guidance attached) Shannon Langley • 0 Permit NCO060208 STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES DIVISION OF WATER QUALITY TO DISCHARGE WASTEWATER UNDER THE NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM In compliance with the provision of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1, other lawful standards and regulations promulgated and adopted by the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission, and the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as amended, Jai-Ambe Company, Inc. is hereby authorized to discharge wastewater from a facility located at the Jai-Ambe Company, Inc. /dba/ Super 8 Motel US Highway 221 South McDowell County to receiving waters designated as Hicks Branch in the Catawba River Basin, in accordance with effluent limitations, monitoring requirements, and other conditions set forth in Parts I, H, III and IV hereof.
