The WWTP appeared to be operating well the day of the inspection. The chlorine residual was high, but had
been adjusted down in the early moring.
One of the two primary clarifiers is empty the ORC assures the inspectors that it will be repaired soon,
please notify the Regional Office when this repair is complete. New media was being installed in the
fitration system.
Sludge was being hauled from the plant the week of the inspection for land application
Plant is covered by SOC WQ S05-014, all compliance dates have been met to date.

and vaccum sludge filters are no longer in use.
The plant appeared to be clean and well maintained. Flow meters have been calibrated in the last 12
months. Operator logs and maintenance appear to be complete. Weirs in the aeration basins are in need of
replacement. The operators also plan inspections and overhauls to the primary and seconday clarifiers in
the next year. It was requested that DWQ be notified prior to the shutdown and/or startup of the major
components for overhaul.
The plant appeared to be operating well.

Gil,
ARO has received 'letter' mentioned in e-mail below from Larry Carver, and have had the chance to review the NPDES
permit. ARO is in agreement
with WWTP to allow'reduced' monitoring of 'daily' parameters to 3 times/week. ARO would suggest that this
monitoring reduction be tied to
Corpening Creek WWTPs flow, by making the permit 'tiered'. At the current time Corpening Creek WWTP averages
about 0.800 MGD as a monthly
average, if we could require increased monitoring upon the WWTP reaching 80% of plant capacity of 3.0 MGD, or 2.4
MGD, that would provide facility
some relief and also allow them to maximize their resources in the Lab to Process Control in operations. I understand
the requirement of having both
a WET and Ammonia limit (EPA requirement), and believe facility is okay with that. Also, Corpening Creek will collect
cyanide and cadmium data to
substantiate a future request that these two limited parameters be 'monitoring' only. ARO staff have also had
discussions with Corpening Creek
WWTP ORC regarding the Annual Pollutant scan analysis. If you have questions or need additional information, please
let me know. Thanks, Don Price.

Gil I had called last week to talk about some issues that we still have with the new permit and was unable
to reach you due to the holidays so in turn i called the Swannanoa office on Wednesday the 23 of last
week and spoke with Jeff Menzel during our conversation he informed me that they did not have a copy in
the office and would inform Don Price about the issue. we still have outlying issues with the permit and
will be sending out a letter tomorrow pertaining to the areas in question.

FINAL REPORT
COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT CA14-001
April 29, 2016

INTRODUCTION
On May 8, 2014, the City of Marion and the North Carolina Environmental Management
Commission entered into Compliance Agreement C14-001 to provide a means for the City to
address issues associated with inflow and infiltration (I&I) in its wastewater collection system.
The I&I issues had caused flow related violations of the effluent limits at the City's Corpening
Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant. The City satisfied the terms of the Agreement, but testing
performed during 2014 and 2015 indicated that additional work was necessary to fully address
the issues that remained within the collection system. Therefore, on June 5, 2015, Agreement
C 14-001 was amended to extend the Agreement with a new expiration date of August 31, 2016.
The terms of the Agreement and its subsequent amendment required the City to continue an I&I
Study (which the City had actually implemented in January 2014), make repairs to eliminate I&I
in place when possible, make major repairs in accordance with a written Plan of Action, provide
progress reports to the Asheville Regional Office monthly, and provide a final report
summarizing the activities conducted per the agreement. In compliance with section 2(h) of
Compliance Agreement C14-001, this report is submitted as the final report.
INFLOW AND INFILTRATION STUDY
In January 2014, the City of Marion Public Works Department implemented an Inflow &
Infiltration (I&I) Study in an attempt to identify and eliminate sources of I&I into its wastewater
collection system. The study consisted of the following components:
• Field assessment of the collection system
• Analysis of flow and rainfall data
• Smoke testing
• Dye testing
• Inspecting lines with a sewer camera
• Manhole inspections
• Documentation and analysis of test and inspection results
• Elimination of I&I sources by making repairs to the collection system. Personnel made
repairs as they were found, when possible. Major repairs were made by contractors in
accordance with the two written plans of action that were submitted to the Asheville
Regional Office on 10/28/14 and 10/26/15, respectively.
The majority of efforts were concentrated in the Clinchfield, East Marion, and Cross Mill areas
of the City of Marion. These areas, labeled "Critical Basins", were prioritized because initial
assessments identified them as having significant amounts of I&I. The Critical Basins are shown
on the map on the following page.

FLOW AND RAINFALL DATA COLLECTION
Collection system flows and rainfall amounts were monitored so fluctuations in flow could be
correlated to rain events. Flow and rainfall amounts were continuously monitored at the
Clinchfield Lift Station and Corpening Creek WWTP. In addition, flow data was collected from
the Catawba Lift Station and from various key manholes in the Critical Basins. Two ultra -sonic,
portable flow meters were used to measure and record flow in the manholes. Rainfall amounts
were measured using a digital rain bucket system and with manual rain gauges. Initially, this
information was used determine the general location of significant I&I sources. Later, the data
was used to measure progress with regard to eliminating I&I.
SMOKE TESTING OF COLLECTION SYSTEM
Smoke testing was the primary means used to locate and identify sources of I&I within the
collection system. For each smoke test performed, a Smoke Test Report was completed. The
Smoke Test Report documented the location and type of each source of I&I discovered. A copy
of a completed Smoke Test Report is included in Appendix A of this report.
As shown in the Monthly Status Reports, submitted monthly to DEQ, smoke testing yielded
significant results during the I&I study. A total of 122,017 linear feet (23 miles) of collection

system line was smoke tested from January 9, 2014 through January 19, 2016. That equates to
31 % of the gravity portion of the collection system. Although some of the smoke testing was
performed by a contractor, the majority was performed by City staff. Public Works Department
personnel logged approximately 1,152 man-hours of smoke testing during the study. Numerous
pictures, taken while smoke testing, are included in Appendix B of this report.
DYE TESTING AND LINE INSPECTION USING SEWER CAMERA
Personnel performed dye tests on numerous occasions during the study. Dye testing was used to
positively identify illegal connections and to verify interconnections between storm sewers and
the sanitary collection system. Personnel also inspected collection system lines with a sewer
camera on frequent occasions. The camera was useful in finding unknown taps and determining
the condition of the line. A new camera was purchased during 2015 at cost of $53,340.
MANHOLE INSPECTION PROGRAM
Personnel started a manhole inspection program in August of 2014. The inspection program
consisted of numbering and thoroughly inspecting every manhole. For each manhole inspected,
a Manhole Inspection Form was completed documenting the results. A copy of a completed
Manhole Inspection Form is included in Appendix C of this report. Although the main goal of
the inspection program was to locate sources of I&I, the inspection program also provided
documentation of other manhole issues such as structural issues, safety issues, etc. As of the
date of this report, 654 manholes have been inspected. That amount is 73% of the total amount
of manholes believed to be in the system.
REPAIRS MADE TO ELIMINATE INFLOW AND INFILTRATION
As shown later in this report, 317 collection system repairs were made during the study period to
eliminate sources of I&I. The vast majority of the repairs were made by City Personnel as the
problems were discovered. The repairs made by City Personnel ranged in complexity from
capping cleanouts and disconnecting building gutters to replacing sections of sewer main and
rehabilitating manholes. Photographs of various repairs made by City Personnel are included in
Appendix D of this report.
Three major repairs were made by contractors during the study period. The table below lists and
summarizes those projects.

EVALUATION AND RESULTS OF I&I STUDY
Using all of the aforementioned components, a significant amount of I&I was located and
eliminated during the study period. Each source of I&I was evaluated and categorized into one
of the following 7 categories:
• Illegal or Unauthorized Connection (Inflow)
• Surface Water Drainage (Inflow)
• Open Clean Out (Inflow)
• Deteriorated or Broken Main (Infiltration)
• Deteriorated or Broken Service Line (Infiltration)
• Manhole Infiltration
• To Be Determined (for those sources that required further investigation)
During the study period, 438 sources of I&I were discovered within the collection system. The
pie chart below summarizes all of the I&I discovered, by category. As shown, open cleanouts
and manhole infiltration accounted for high percentages of the total amount of sources.

As shown above, out of the 438 sources of I&I that were discovered, 317 (or 72%) were
eliminated.
Though the exact amount of I&I flow reduced is almost impossible to quantify, we have
estimated the amounts of I&I flow reduction for the most significant I&I sources that were
eliminated. Those I&I sources and their estimated flows are shown in the table below.

*Wet Day = Days with greater than'/2" of rain accumulation.
In addition to the sources listed above, we believe that many of the open cleanouts that have been
found and repaired were significant contributors to I&I flow. Though we cannot quantify the

amount of I&I generated by each open cleanout, we know that many are located in low-lying
areas that are subject to flooding and ponding during rain events. The photograph below shows
storm runoff entering a 4" cleanout during a rain event that occurred in October 2015. The
cleanout pictured was capped as soon as it was discovered.
As shown in the monthly status reports, flow monitoring at the Clinchfield Lift Station (though
erratic at times) has indicated a slight reduction in flows over the study period, when correlated
with rain events. Flow and rainfall correlation at the Clinchfield Lift Station was difficult to
quantify because dry day flows seemed to vary significantly for many months of the study
period. Rain events of greater than 2" per day do not seem to be producing as much flow now as
the same rain events produced two years ago. The graph on the following page shows the flow
and rainfall amounts for the Clinchfield Lift Station from November 2015 — April 2016.

Date & Time

CONCLUSION
Though the exact amount of I&I reduced from the collection system cannot be accurately
calculated, the City believes a significant amount of I&I was reduced during the study period.
We have noticed a definite decrease in the amount of "high well" alarms at relevant lift stations
during rain events and, as shown in this report, a significant amount of I&I sources were
eliminated during the I&I study period. The City believes enough I&I has been eliminated to
return the Corpening Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant to consistent compliance by July 31,
2016 in compliance with the Compliance Agreement. The City will continue to proactively
operate its collection system and eliminate I&I after the Compliance Agreement has expired.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Present during the inspection was Larry Carver (ORC) and Tim Heim with DWR.
PERMIT:
The City has requested an extension of their Compliance Agreement. Regional staff has requested
conversation with Central staff regarding this request.
The permit is up for renewal. The ORC discussed his concerns regarding the NH3 effluent limit.
O&M:
All four weirs (primary and secondary clarifiers) appeared to be out of level. The ORC stated he
believed this to be as a consequence of settling due to construction of upgrades. He stated they are
scheduled to be leveled this spring/summer.
FACILITY REVIEW:
#1 Primary Clarifier and Aeration Basin are not actively in use. Both need to be evaluated for use as
EQ per Compliance Agreement. #1 Primary Clarifier has been used on occasion as EQ. #1 Primary
Clarifier has maintenance needs if it is to be put back into treatment operation.
The tertiary filters are not in use at this time. When the City will be putting these back into operation is
unclear.
RECORDS:
The City needs to submit a copy of the Annual Report to the Asheville Regional Office.
An updated ORC designation form needs to be submitted as instructed on the form. The backup ORC
needs to be updated.
The effluent chart recorder paper was incorrect. ORC stated he would change that immediately.
Aliquot obtained for effluent samples is less than 100ml.

During the time frame mentioned March 2010 thru March 2012 on the tss violations
we were under construction for our new upgrades. While the contractors were digging
and installing our new piping system for the new headwork's and the digester they had to
use diesel pumps to move the flow around the areas that they were working and installing
new pipes for the new flow pattern. We were utilizing diesel pumps as well to clean our
contact basins due to having the old pipes removed and the new ones installed this
actually caused some of the tss problems we experienced and also we discovered that the
line from our sampler had been knocked down in the settling zone of our contact basins
accidentally by the workers several times during construction and to stop that we actually
had to fasten the sample line down to the contact basin walls to keep the contractors from
causing this problem again. Most of our violations were caused during the upgrade of the
treatment plant. During the January 2011 violation we had extremely cold weather during
December 2010 into January causing the old equipment on the final drive on the clarifier
to fail, the grease had become very thick due to the cold weather and the old gears in the
unit finally gave up, we immediately ordered and replaced the final drives on the clarifier
although we had to wait 10 weeks on delivery of the equipment since the company no
longer kept the units in stock they had to build the final drives at the time we placed our
order. In March of 2011 we had a large rainfall of 3.9 inches in less than 24 hrs causing
the hydraulic effect that raised the tss during this time. In summery the construction
upgrade was the cause of most of the tss violations and the couple of others were due to
large amounts of rain in a short periods of time due to the unusual weather we were
having. The TRC violations we had were caused due to a factory defect in the equipment
that was installed during the upgrade. We had worked during this time to explain why the
residuals were varying daily and not consistent the rotometers were actually showing the
proper feed rate but after we started looking at the new equipment that was installed for
the chlorination and the dechlorination we discovered a defect in the venturis that was
causing the problem. I have attached the letter from the company that supplied the gas

feeding equipment. If you have any questions or need any more information please let me
know.
Thanks, Larry Carver

Subject: Request for extension and modification of Compliance Agreement C14-001
Collection System Permit WQCS00075
NPDES Permit NCO031879
Dear Ms. Wiggs,
The purpose of this letter is to request an extension and modification to Compliance Agreement
C14-001, which was executed between the NC Environmental Management Commission and the
City of Marion on May 8, 2014. As reported in the progress reports, submitted monthly, the City
of Marion has been successfully reducing I&I from the wastewater collection system since
January 2014. Since that date, 202 sources of I&I have been discovered and 129 of those
sources have been eliminated. Though we have made great strides in reducing I&I in the last
year, we believe we could make a much greater impact by conducting our intense investigation
for another year. An added year would also allow us to perform more detailed flow studies and
better quantify the amount of flow reduction we have actually achieved.
For the reasons cited above, we respectfully request that Compliance Agreement C 14-001 be
extended by one year, to expire August 31, 2016, and be modified by replacing the schedule in
Section (2.) with the following schedule:
(a.) Continue smoke testing, dye testing, and videoing portions of the collection system
and document results of testing. Remove sources of I&I in place where possible.
(b.) Continue flow studies within the collection system.
(c.) Continue the evaluation and categorization of testing results.
(d.) Submit an updated/detailed plan of action to the Asheville Regional Office and the
Central Office by October 31, 2015. The plan should consist of two parts:

(L) Collection System. The plan should provide details regarding:
• the scope and complexity of repairs to be made
• prioritization given to particular projects
• whether the City will perform its own repairs or contract for service.
Cost projections should also be provided, as well as the source(s) of funding for
the repairs.
(2.) Wastewater Treatment Plant. The plan should include an overview of existing
treatment units, their operation, and their current efficiency. Discussions should
be provided regarding the potential for gaining improved flow equalization during
wet weather events within the existing treatment units, and the utility and
feasibility of adding a flow equalization basin to the treatment system.
(e.) Secure permits for any permitted activities associated with the project by December
31, 2015.
(f.) Begin construction of major and/or permitted projects by January 15, 2016.
(g.) Provide progress reports to the Asheville Regional Office on a monthly basis,
documenting activities performed during the preceding month, and submitted by the 1 Oth
day of the month.
(h) Provide a final report that includes estimated flow reductions by April 30, 2016.
(i) Return to consistent compliance or enter into a Special Order by Consent no later than
July 31, 2016. "Consistent compliance" as stated above is defined as being compliant
with all terms and conditions of NPDES permit NC0031879, as primarily evidenced by
data submitted on Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), for the months April 2016
through June 2016
The schedule we are proposing has the same requirements as the schedule contained in the
original agreement. Only the submittal dates have been changed to extend the agreement by one
year. We believe an extra year is necessary to help us achieve our goal of reducing the amount
of I&I to a level that will cause no violations of the NPDES permit during significant wet
weather events. Your consideration of our request is greatly appreciated. If you have any
questions or require more information, feel free to contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
J. Brant Sikes, Director

McDowell County
In response to the Notice of Violation listed above for the City of Marion's Coipening
Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, the City of Marion wishes to request remission of the
civil penalty of $387.00 for a weekly TSS violation.
The violation listed in your letter involved a TSS violation for the week ending December
31, 2011. During this time, City of Marion wastewater staff were cleaning the contact
basins as part of the standard operating procedure for the WWTP. During this process,
City wastewater staff have to shut down one side of the dual train at a time, which turns
all of the wastewater flow through the operating side. Normally, this procedure does not
cause any problems during the cleaning. However, in this case, the WWTP received
some additional rainfall, increasing the wastewater flow enough to cause a small
hydraulic effect on the sample side.
City wastewater staff watched to make sure that there were no solids coming out of the
basin. The effluent produced looked very good and did not appear to have anything
visible that would affect the TSS test. The TSS results therefore did not reflect the
effluent quality that the WWTP had during this period. As shown on the attached sheets,
the effluent fecal tests showed a result of 5 for the day of the cleaning and a weekly
geometric mean of 12.8, which is far less than the 400 weekly limit and the 200 monthly
limit for fecal, demonstrating there was no harmful effect to the receiving stream from
the WWTP effluent.
Since this problem happened, Wastewater Treatment Superintendent Larry Carver has
altered his procedure to extend the transfer time longer to ensure that no similar hydraulic
effect will occur in the future during the cleaning of the contact basins.

Since measures have been taken to prevent reoccurrence of this violation and since
testing showed no harmful effect on the receiving stream from the WWTP effluent, I
would respectfully request that a fine not be issued for this violation.
If you have any further questions or need any additional information, please contact me at
[phone]. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Bob Boyette

Permit No. NCO031879
City of Marion
Corpening Creek WWTP
McDowell County
Dear Sir or Madam:
OI�'F1CC. OP'T'HC
\TANAGER
In response to the Notice of Violation listed above for the City of Marion's Coipening
Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, the City of Marion wishes to request remission of the
civil penalty of $387.00 weekly and monthly TSS violations.
The violations listed in your letter involved a TSS violation for the week ending January
14 and a monthly violation for January. During the evening of January 11, 2012 through
the early morning hours of January 12, 2012, the City of Marion received a large slow
moving rainfall that dropped 1.85 inches of rain in a two hour time period. With this
amount of rainfall and the size of the WWTP basins catching the rain, the City's
wastewater flow tripled from the normal flow of 0.8 mgd to over 2.5 mgd. This amount
of wastewater flow caused a hydraulic shock to the WWTP clarifiers and the contact
basins, making the effluent look a little cloudy. However, the effluent did not lead City
wastewater staff to believe that TSS levels would be as high as the analysis showed.
The TSS results did not reflect the effluent quality that the WWTP had during this period,
as the effluent fecal tests showed a result of 22 for that day and a weekly geometric mean
of 1.8, which is less than the City's 400 weekly limit and also less than our 200 monthly
limit. In addition, our BOD results were a 21.5 weekly average, demonstrating that there
were no harmful or detrimental impacts to the receiving stream.
The receiving stream during this period was very muddy and thick with all the runoff it
had received from the storm. As shown in the attached DMRs, after the rain and
wastewater flow receded, our results were back to normal in a very short period of time.
I have also attached a copy of the electronic rain gauge that shows the amount of rain that
fell during the period of time described above.

Therefore, the City would respectfully request that no fine be issued for these violations,
since it was a result of an Act of God, involving an abnormal amount of rainfall, and
since the DMRs demonstrated no harmful effects to the receiving stream.
If you have any further questions or need any additional information, please contact me at
[phone]. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Bob Boyette«

JUSTIFICATION FOR REMISSION REQUEST
DWQ Case Number: LV-2012-0142 County: McDowell
Assessed Party: The City of Marion / Corpening Creek WWTP
Permit No.: NC0031879 Amount Assessed: $387.00
Please use this form when requesting remission of this civil penalty. You must also complete the
"Request For Remission, Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing, and Stipulation of Facts"
form to request remission of this civil penalty. You should attach any documents that you believe
support your request and are necessary for the Director to consider in evaluating your request for
remission. Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five factors
listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the civil penalty assessed.
Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting whether the violation(s) occurred or
the accuracy of any of the factual statements contained in the civil penalty assessment document.
Pursuant to N.C.G.S. § 143B-282.1(c), remission of a civil penalty may be granted only when one or
more of the following five factors applies. Please check each factor that you believe applies to your
case and provide a detailed explanation, including copies of supporting documents, as to why the
Factor applies (attach additional pages as needed).
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in N.C.G.S. 143B-282.1(b) were
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner (the assessment factors are listed in the civil
penalty assessment document);
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation (i.e., explain the steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences),
1/ (c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident (i.e., explain why the violation
was unavoidable or something you could not prevent or prepare for);
(d) the violator had not been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary remedial
actions (i. e., explain how payment of the civil penalty will prevent you from performing the activities
necessary to achieve compliance).

NORTH CAROLINA
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMMISSION
COUNTY OF MCDOWELL
IN THE MATTER OF )
NORTH CAROLINA )
NPDES PERMIT NCO031879 )
HELD BY THE CITY OF MARION )
COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT
File Number C14-001, Ad I
Pursuant to provisions of North Carolina General Statute § 143-215.3(a)(6), this Amendment to a
Compliance Agreement is entered into by the City of Marion, herein referred to as the City, and
the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission, an agency of the State of North
Carolina created by N.C. General Statute § 143B-282, and hereinafter referred to as the
Commission:
1. The City and the Commission hereby agree to the following findings:
(a.) The City holds North Carolina NPDES permit NC0031879 for operation of the Corpening
Creek wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and for making an outlet therefrom for the
discharge of treated wastewater to Corpening Creek, Class C waters of this State in the
Catawba River Basin.
(b.) Effluent limits included as terms of NPDES permit NC0031879 have been established as
those concentrations and/or loadings of pollutants in that may be discharged into the receiving
stream without causing applicable water quality standards to be contravened.
(c.) The Corpening Creek WWTP has been noncompliant with the effluent limits contained in
NPDES permit NC0031879 since January 2013 in the manner and to the extent described in
Attachment A to this Amendment.
(d.) Effluent limit violations are often associated with wet weather events and large volumes of
extraneous flow resulting from inflow and infiltration (I&I) within the City's collection
system. Surge flow due to I&I leads to washout of solids from the WWTP and creates
conditions not conducive for the efficient performance of treatment organisms.
(e.) The City historically has recognized issues associated with I&I and its management within the
collection system. The City completed a targeted I&I removal project in 2009.
(£) The City has renewed investigations of its collection system to identify sources of I&I, and is
repairing minor and accessible sources in place as they are identified.
(g.) On March 20, 2014, (revised April 2, 2014) the City submitted a corrective action plan for
returning the facility to consistent compliance with the terms of the NPDES permit.
(h.) On May 8, 2014, the City and the Commission entered into Compliance Agreement CA14-
001 as a framework and means for the City to address issues associated with I&I in the
collection system and related effluent limit violations.

City of Marion Compliance Agreement C14-001, Ad I
NC0031879
).2
(i.) To date, the City has satisfied the terms of CA14-001, identifying and eliminating sources of
I&I in the collection system, and significantly reducing the number of effluent limit violations
occurring at the WWTP. However, inspections and testing performed to date have indicated
additional work will be required in order to fully address issues associated with the City's
collection system.
2. Based upon the above findings, the City and the Commission agree to this Compliance Agreement
Amendment, implementing the following schedule [based upon the plan of action described in 1.(g)
above, as modified per the terms of CA14-001]:
(a.) Continue testing (smoke testing, dye testing, video) portions of the collection system and
document results of testing. Remove sources of I&I in place where possible.
(b.) Continue to conduct flow studies within the collection system.
(c.) Continue with the evaluation and categorization of testing results.
(d.) Submit an updated/detailed plan of action to the Asheville Regional Office and the Central
Office by October 31, 2015. The plan should be based upon the results of studies conducted
and information acquired since the execution of CA14-001, and shall consist of two parts:
(1.) Collection S, sue. The plan should provide details regarding:
• the scope and complexity of repairs to be made
• prioritization given to particular projects
• whether the City will perform its own repairs or contract for service.
Cost projections should also be provided, as well as the sources) of funding for the repairs.
(2.) Wastewater Treatment Plant. The plan should include an overview of existing treatment
units, their operation, and their current efficiency. Discussions should be provided
regarding the potential for gaining improved performance from existing treatment units
and any need for upgraded facilities.
(e.) Secure permits for any permitted activities associated with the project in an expeditious
fashion as necessary, but by no later than December 31, 2015.
(f.) Begin construction of major and/or permitted projects by January 15, 2016.
(g.) Continue to provide progress reports to the Asheville Regional Office on a monthly basis,
documenting activities performed during the preceding month, and submitted by the 10�' day
of the month.
(h.) Provide a final report that summarizes activities conducted per the terms of the CA14-001 and
this Amendment, including estimated flow reductions, by April 30, 2016.
Return to consistent compliance or enter into a Special Order by Consent no later than July
31, 2016. "Consistent compliance " as stated above is defined as being compliant tivith all
terms and conditions of NPDES permit NC0031879, as primarily evidenced by data submitted
on Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), for the months April 2016 through June 2016

City of Marion Compliance Agreement C14-001, Ad I
NC0031879
).3
3. Nothing in this Agreement relieves the City of its duty to abide by the terms of NPDES permit
NC0031879. Noncompliance with the terms of the NPDES permit may subject the City to the
assessment of additional civil penalties during the time this Agreement is in effect. However, the
Division will use discretion in its consideration of civil penalty assessments for violations of permit
limits associated with wet weather events that occur during the life of the Agreement.
4. Failure to comply with the teens of this Agreement may subject the City to the assessment of
additional civil penalties pursuant to Part II, Section B (2.) (the "Duty to Mitigate" condition) of
NPDES permit NC0031879.
5. Requests, actions and or reports required by the terms of paragraph 2 above shall be deemed overdue
if they are not made, completed or submitted by the dates specified. The burden for providing
sufficient documentation of the satisfaction of the terms of this Agreement is held entirely by the
City.
6. Because this is an Agreement between the Commission and the City, neither party will file a petition
for a contested case or for judicial review concerning its terms.
7. The City may request an extension/modification to this Agreement. Such request must be made in

The ORC, Larry Carver's time and assistance conductiong the Technical Assistance is appreciated. His
work and that of his staff is an asset to the City of Marion.
The current facility has served the city well and appears to need some upgrade maintence.
Upgrade maintence should include ensuring all valves, clarifiers, aerators, basins, grit removal, pumps,
filters, and sludge handling equipment operate as they did when they were initially installed.
This should be addressed in the SOC(special order of concent)request, and should also include a review of
the sewer collection system needs.

Comment: Currently the dual Primary clarifiers are operational. Center well scum was
removed from one, and one needed to have scum removed. The Primary Clarifier
Influent valves are not operational. This prohibits isolation of clarifier's in order to
conduct inspection and maintenance of the unit. Primary Clarifier Influent valves should
be repaired/replaced during the SOC request.
Also, I would suggest a garden hose spray/sprinkler be added to the centerwells of each
clarifier to assist in controlling the buildup of solids and scum.

Comment: At the time of the technical assistance only one of the two aeration basins
was in service. The 2nd aeration basin was being used for a waste sludge digester -
holding tank. Parts from the aerators in the digester/holding tank were being used to
keep
the aerators functional in the aeration basin. This practice should only be used as a
temporary measure until adequate parts can be obtained. It is suggested that during the
SOC request, the aeration basins be reviewed for retrofit to diffused aeration.
Diffused aeration can provide improved operation of both aeration basins.

Comment: The current sludge handling system is utilizing an aeration basin for a
digester/sludge holding tank and operating a land application system. The two existing
gravity sludge thickeners and sludge vacum filter are not being utilized due to staffing
needs and maintenance issues. It is suggested that during the SOC review the facility
look at replacing the vacum filter with a sludge press and a sludge holding tank. A press
may be more efficient than a vacum filter and require less staffing. The addition of a
sludge holding tank would allow the 2nd aeration basin to be used as an aeration basin.
A 2nd aeration basin can work as a buffer during high flows, such as what the facility
experiences during heavy rains.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
The purpose of the Technical Assistance vist was to assist ORC, Larry Carver, in suggestions for dealing
with a filamentous bacteria (possibly Nocardia) problem occuring at the WWTP. ORC and WWTP staff had
taken measures to address the foaming problem caused by filamentous at the time of the Technical
Assistance. Information regarding Aeration Basin Foaming are as follows:
-While the mechanisms of Nocardia foaming are not always fully understood, it is believed that Nocardia cell
walls are hydrophobic, and sufficient quantities of Nocardia can make sludge flocs hydrophobic, therefore
the floc would not be wettable and would cling to air bubbles, resulting in a large amount of scum forming.
-The causes of Nocardia growth in activated sludge are not well understood, but research has found
correlations between high Nocardia counts and various sludge parameters including high Sludge Age and
warm temperature, oil & grease in the wastewater, low F/M ratio, and high suspended solids levels.
-There is no single proven method of controlling Nocardia Bacteria, but some combination of physical and
chemical methods have had some success.The most common physical method of foam control is the use of
low -volume water spray to rupture the bubbles in the foam. This method is not effective with very stable
foams, which usually must be collapsed and diluted by high -volume sprays. Care must be taken to not
recycle the foam back into system through the secondary clarifier scum trap, and the scum trap must be of
adequate size to handle the amount of foam being removed. Grease & oil coupled with high temperatures
and high suspended solids contribute to the presence of Nocardia and may act as a causitive agent to keep
the population alive. Grease and oil related problems are best solved by a strong Pretreatment Program and
control of commercial grease traps. The most common approach to Nocardia foaming control is to increase
the wasting rate, therefore washing out the Nocardia. This only works when the WWTP is capable of
handling the increase in waste activated sludge amount. Chemical methods of Nocardia foam control
involve the use of antifoam agents, but this method can get expensive. In most cases of foam caused by
Nocardia, the best measure of control is the use of a combination of physical removal, chlorination, and
addition of ferric chloride or sodium aluminate. Whatever the method(s) used, the most important
consideration is the prevention of of recycling the foam back through the system.
It is suggested the WWTP review its influent and process control data to see if any Nocardia causitive
effects are due to something entering the plant and being recycled. It is strongly suggested the WWTP
review its sludge handling capabilities. At the time of the Technical Assistance, one of the Areation Basins
was being used as a digester/sludge holding tank, prior to land application. With additional sludge
management capibilities the WWTP will be better capable to handle and address filamentous bacteria
issues and other issues that have a potential to cause problems to effluent quality.

Report #4
Linda,
During April, the City of Marion Public Works Department and HST, Inc. smoke tested
approximately 21,200 linear feet of sewer line. We also conducted dye tests and used the camera
to locate sources of I&I, when necessitated. As of the date of this report, we have smoke tested a
total of approximately 31,653 linear feet of sewer line since January 9, 2014. The following
table summarizes the sources of I&I that have been identified thus far. It also lists the progress
that has been made with regard to eliminating the sources of I&I.

During April, we also initiated flow studies of Critical Basin "A" and the Corpening Creek
WWTP. We are trying to establish a "baseline" so we can effectively monitor decreases in flow
in correlation with rainfall data. More information on the flow studies will be provided in next
month's progress report, as further evaluation is needed before using the results as a baseline.
For your reference, I've included the following attachments:
1. Smoke Test Location Map (shows general location of tests that have been conducted thus
far).
2. Smoke Test Maps for tests 10 — 22 (Maps for tests 1 — 9 were included in previous
progress reports).
3. Smoke Test Photos (10 photos)
If you have any questions or require more information, contact me at your convenience.

The flow studies that were initiated in April were continued throughout May. We are recording
rainfall and flow data from the Clinchfield Lift Station and the Corpening Creek WWTP. The
graphs below show the rainfall and flow amounts from both locations. Please note the amounts,
for both locations, for April 291h. On that date, we received 1.2 inches of rain at the Clinchfield
Lift Station. The flow, for that date, was 0.0966 MGD, which is less than flows received during
prior rain events of 0.6 and less. Since, prior to May 27th, only minor repairs had been made in
the Clinchfield basin, we cannot confirm that the lower flow during the rain event was a direct
result of the repairs that were made. We do, however, believe the repairs contributed because the
flow has remained fairly steady and we have not received significant spikes. Per Larry Carver,
WWTP Superintendent, there has been a definite decrease in the amount of "high level" alarms
received from the Clinchfield Lift Station during rain events.

In addition to logging current flow data, we are reviewing historical data from the WWTP,
Clinchfield Lift Station, and flow studies that were conducted in the past. The goal of this data
collection is to develop a more accurate relationship between the magnitude of collection system
flows and precipitation within certain drainage basins. We are also conducting tracer dye flow
tests in the Baldwin Avenue basin of the collection system.
For your reference, I've included the following attachments:
1. Smoke Test Location Map (shows general location of tests that have been conducted thus
far).
2. Smoke Test Maps for tests 23 - 34 (Maps for tests 1 — 22 were included in previous
progress reports).

As shown in the Clinchfield Lift Station graph, we did experience some increased I&I during the
rain events that occurred on 6/29/14 and 6/30/14. By reviewing flow data, we were able locate
the general area in which we believe the I&I to be occurring. As of the date of this report,
however, we have not located the exact source. The source is apparently new because it is in an
area that was recently smoke tested. We believe the problem to be in the Clinchfield and/or PG
area.

To: Linda Wiggs, Environmental Senior Specialist, NC DWR
From: Brant Sikes, Public Works Director, City of Marion
Re: Progress Report for July 2014
Report #7
Linda,
During July, the City of Marion Public Works Department smoke tested approximately 9,886
linear feet of sewer line. We also conducted dye tests and used the camera to locate sources of
I&I, when necessitated. We have smoke tested a total of approximately 58,023 linear feet of
sewer line since January 9, 2014. Of that amount, approximately 3,900 linear feet consisted of
line that had been previously tested; therefore the estimated percentage of the collection system
(gravity portion) that has been tested so far is approximately 14%. Our original goal was to test
10% of the gravity portion of the collection system by the end of August 2014. The following
table summarizes the sources of I&I that have been identified thus far. It also lists the progress
that has been made with regard to eliminating the sources of I&I. Sources of I&I shaded in
yellow have been eliminated.

FLOW MONITORING AND ANALYSIS:
As stated in prior reports, we are recording rainfall and flow data from the Clinchfield Lift
Station and the Corpening Creek WWTP. The data we have collected so far indicates that I&I is
being reduced from the collection system. The graphs that follow show the rainfall and flow
amounts from both locations. Please note the slight decrease in average flows, at both locations.
This has occurred simultaneously with an increase in rainfall amounts. Also, note the
flow/rainfall ratios for June and July as compared to the flow/rainfall ratios for January — May.

Date: September 9, 2014
To: Linda Wiggs, Environmental Senior Specialist, NC DWR
From: Brant Sikes, Public Works Director, City of Marion
Re: Progress Report for August, 2014
Report #8
Linda,
In compliance with Section 2.C. of the Compliance Agreement between the City of Marion and
the NC EMC, the Public Works Department began evaluating and categorizing the results of the
smoke tests that have been conducted thus far, during August. Each source of I&I that has been
discovered was evaluated and categorized by type. The categories used were as follows:
Inflow Categories:
1. Illegal or unauthorized connections
2. Surface water drainage (manholes lower than surrounding grade)
3. Open clean outs (also includes open camper services)
Infiltration Categories: _
1. Deteriorated or broken pipes or joints (laterals and mains)
2. Deteriorated or broken service lines
3. Manhole Infiltration (through deteriorated or broken risers, joints, barrels, mortar, etc.)
The table and pie chart on the following page summarize the types of I&I, by category, that have
been discovered since January, 2014. The table also summarizes the amount of repair work that
has been completed. Note that out of the 109 sources of I&I that have been discovered, 70 (or
64%) have been eliminated.

No actual smoke testing was performed during August because a lot of time was spent repairing
(eliminating) I&I sources and inspecting manholes. A manhole on Maple Avenue was found,
while crews were assessing a sinkhole, to be a fairly significant source of I&I because the base of
the manhole was extremely deteriorated. In addition to groundwater infiltrating the base, storm
water from a drainage ditch was entering during rain events. To correct the problem, crews
poured a new manhole floor and channel, and sealed the manhole. While doing so, the crew also
replaced approximately 45 feet of 6" sewer main because it was badly deteriorated. Below are
"before" and "after" pictures of the manhole that was repaired.
Page 3 of 9

In August, the Public Works Department also began a formalized manhole inspection program.
The inspection program was started because manholes are believed to be a part of the City's I&I
problem. It was determined that, at this point in our I&I assessment; manhole inspections may
reveal more sources of I&I, more quickly, than smoke testing.
With the manhole inspection program, each manhole is numbered and thoroughly inspected.
Each inspection is documented on an Inspection Form. A copy of the Manhole Inspection Form
used is attached to this report for your reference. Although the main goal of the inspection
program is to locate more sources of I&I, the program will also provide a formal numbering
system and document other manhole issues, such as structural issues, safety issues, etc.
Eventually, we hope to assign a number to each manhole in the system and then document the
GPS coordinates for mapping purposes. For quick reference purposes, the collection system was
divided into 4 zones for the numbering of manholes. Manholes in each zone are being numbered
as they are inspected. For example: manhole # IA, IB, IC, ID, etc. The zones used are shown
on the map below:
During August, 50 manholes were inspected and numbered. The tables on the following 2 pages
summarize the results of the 50 inspections conducted thus far. Entries shaded in gray represent
manholes that have, or have the potential to have, I&I issues. Please note: The I&I issues
discovered vary greatly in severity. Some of the issues found were very minor, while others
were severe. As with the smoke testing results, a description of individual I&I sources found and
eliminated will be provided in subsequent reports.

FLOW MONITORING AND ANALYSIS:
As stated in prior reports, we are recording rainfall and flow data from the Clinchfield Lift
Station and the Corpening Creek WWTP. The data we have collected so far indicates that I&I is
being reduced from the collection system. The graph that follows shows the rainfall and flow
amounts for the Clinchfield Lift Station from June through August, 2014.
Page 7 of 9

Although determining the exact amount of I&I is nearly impossible, we are trying to estimate the
amount of I&I at both locations during rain events. The Rainfall/Inflow Summary for the
Clinchfield Lift Station is shown below.

From: Brant Sikes, Public Works Director, City of Marion
Re: Progress Report for September, 2014
Report #9
Linda,
During September, the City of Marion Public Works Department smoke tested approximately
3,669 linear feet of sewer line. We also conducted dye tests and used the camera to locate
sources of I&I, when necessitated. We have smoke tested a total of approximately 61,692 linear
feet of sewer line since January 9, 2014. The table below summarizes the types of I&I, by
category, that have been discovered since January, 2014. The table also summarizes the amount
of repair work that has been completed. Note that out of the 111 sources of I&I that have been
discovered, 74 (or 67%) have been eliminated.

As stated in the last progress report, we are also executing a manhole inspection program.
During September, 150 manholes were inspected. The tables on the following 5 pages
summarize the results of all of the inspections that have been conducted since the inspection
program was started. Entries shaded in gray represent manholes that have, or have the potential
to have, I&I issues. These I&I issues are in addition to the manhole I&I issues discovered while
smoke testing. Please note: The I&I issues discovered vary greatly in severity. Some of the
issues found were very minor, while others were severe. As with the smoke testing results, a
description of individual I&I sources found and eliminated will be provided in subsequent
reports.

FLOW MONITORING AND ANALYSIS:
As stated in prior reports, we are recording rainfall and flow data from the Clinchfield Lift
Station and the Corpening Creek WWTP. The data we have collected so far indicates that I&I is
being reduced from the collection system. The graph on the following page shows the rainfall
and flow amounts for the Clinchfield Lift Station from June through September, 2014.

As shown above, rainfall events that produce less than 2 inches of rain do not seem to be causing
significant flow increases to the lift station. Rainfall events producing greater than 2 inches of
rain did cause an increase compared to "dry day" average flows, but the increases in flow in
relation to inches of rain were not as significant as they have been in the past.

*Please note: the calculated amount for inflow is strictly a rough estimate. Estimated inflow was
calculated as follows:
Est Inflow = Rain Day Flow — Average Daily Dry Day Flow
Average Dry Day Flow = Average of daily flows for the period of record (dry days only)
For your reference, I've included the following attachments:
1. Smoke Test Location Map (shows general location of tests that have been conducted thus
far).
2. Smoke Test Map showing the location of tests 46 — 48.

MEMO
Date: November 4, 2014
To: Linda Wiggs, Environmental Senior Specialist, NC DWR
From: Brant Sikes, Public Works Director, City of Marion
Re: Progress Report for October, 2014
Report #10
Linda,
During October, the City of Marion Public Works Department inspected 100 manholes. No
sewer lines were smoke tested during October because we focused our efforts on making repairs
to eliminate I&I sources. We also dedicated a significant amount of time to investigating the
sources of I&I that were listed as "TBD" in last month's status report. The 19 TBD's that were
listed in last month's report were reduced to 4 during October. We also conducted dye tests and
used the camera to locate sources of I&I, when necessitated. As shown in the "Updated Plan of
Action", submitted on October 31, 2014, a total of 182 sources of I&I have been discovered
since January, 2014, and 102 of those sources have been eliminated.
The tables on the following 9 pages summarize the results of all of the manhole inspections that
have been conducted since the inspection program was started. Entries shaded in gray represent
manholes that have, or have the potential to have, I&I issues. The I&I issues discovered vary
greatly in severity. Some of the issues found were very minor, while others were severe. The
tables also summarize the amount of repair work that has been completed. Out of 87 manholes
that needed to be repaired, 30 have already been repaired.

FLOW MONITORING AND ANALYSIS:
As stated in prior reports, we are recording rainfall and flow data from the Clinchfield Lift
Station and the Corpening Creek WWTP. The data we have collected so far indicates that I&I is
being reduced from the collection system. The graph below shows the rainfall and flow amounts
for the Clinchfield Lift Station from August through October, 2014.

As stated in the "Updated Plan of Action", submitted on October 31, 2014, I&I sources have
been reduced, but flow data indicates a significant source (or sources) of I&I remains in the
collection system. We will continue smoke testing, inspecting manholes, and searching for the
source(s) of I&I. If you have any questions or require more information, contact me at your
convenience.

Linda,
During November, the City of Marion Public Works Department smoke tested approximately
24,114 linear feet of sewer line. We also conducted dye tests and used the camera to locate
sources of I&I, when necessitated. We have smoke tested a total of approximately 85,806 linear
feet of sewer line since January 9, 2014. The table below summarizes the types of I&I, by
category, that have been discovered since January, 2014. The table also summarizes the amount
of repair work that has been completed. Note that out of the 191 sources of I&I that have been
discovered, 103 (or 54%) have been eliminated.

Report # 12
Linda,
During December, the City of Marion Public Works Department smoke tested approximately
2,500 linear feet of sewer line. Of that amount, approximately 2,200 linear feet consisted of
sewer line that had been previously smoke tested, but was suspected to still contain I&I issues.
During the "re -test", several more sources of I&I were discovered. We also conducted dye tests
and used the camera to locate sources of I&I, when necessitated.
Approximately 22% of the gravity portion of the collection system has been smoke tested since
January 9, 2014. The table below summarizes the types of I&I, by category, that have been
discovered thus far. The table also summarizes the amount of repair work that has been
completed. Note that out of the 198 sources of I&I that have been discovered, 118 (or 60%)
have been eliminated.

Re: Progress Report for January, 2015
Report # 13
Linda,
During January, the City of Marion Public Works Department rehabilitated 6 manholes to
eliminate infiltration. The repairs consisted of sealing joints, installing new rings and lids,
repairing channels and shelves, etc. No smoke testing was conducted in January due to frozen
ground, saturated ground, and other extenuating circumstances. As you are aware, smoke testing
does not yield optimal results under these conditions. We felt our time would be better spent
making repairs and trying to eliminate sources of I&I that have already been detected.
The table below summarizes the types of I&I, by category, that have been discovered thus far.
The table also summarizes the amount of repair work that has been completed. Note that out of
the 200 sources of I&I that have been discovered, 124 (or 62%) have been eliminated.

FLOW MONITORING AND ANALYSIS:
During January, we expended a lot of time and effort analyzing our flow data, assessing the
accuracy of our flow monitoring and rainfall measurements, and improving our data collection
methods. We deployed 2, new, ultrasonic flow meters in the Clinchfield Basin in an attempt to
monitor a smaller area and pinpoint more I&I sources. One meter, labeled Chamad #1, was set
up in a manhole immediately upstream of Chamad Warehouse. The other meter, labeled
Chamad #2, was set up in a manhole immediately downstream of Chamad Warehouse. The
meters were installed in this manner in an attempt to isolate the Chamad Warehouse, as we
suspect more I&I to be present in that area. One lateral does intersect and contribute to the flow
of the isolated Chamad Warehouse, but we do not think the flow from the lateral is significant
enough to prevent us from detecting additional I&I from the Chamad Warehouse area.
As with any new tool, we are learning from experience with the new flow meters. We did not
obtain accurate readings during most of the month due to various problems including software
issues, mounting hardware problems, and issues with trash collecting on the sensor. We have
discovered that trash (mainly paper) collecting on the sensor is a problem that we will have to
deal with on a frequent basis. To solve this problem, we now check the manholes on a daily
basis (Monday — Friday). If, while checking the manhole, the operator finds trash collecting on
or around the sensor, he is to remove the trash.
The following two graphs show the data we have retrieved from the manholes so far. As stated
earlier, we have few accurate measurements for the month:
ID Gieyline Logger V2 _ �q

File Edit View data Logging data Tools Communication Window Help
To ensure our rainfall measurements are accurate, we have installed two new rain gauges. Both
gauges are the manual type and both are checked daily. The amount of rain in each rain gauge is
documented and compared to the amount logged by the digital rain bucket system. We believe
the digital rain bucket system is accurate, but the manually read gauges will verify this and
provide us with another means by which to measure daily rainfall. One rain gauge was installed
at the flow meter installations at Chamad Warehouse. The other rain gauge was installed at the
Public Works Facility.
As stated in the Updated Plan of Action, submitted in October 2014, flow data indicates I&I has
been reduced since January 2014, but we believe a significant source or sources of I&I remains.

SUMMARY:
In summary, all of the data we have collected indicates that we are successfully reducing I&I

We suspect the majority of I&I issues to be in the Clinchfield Basin and will be focusing our
efforts in that basin. Hopefully, the new flow meters will help us to determine if more I&I is
present at the Chamad Warehouse. We plan to resume smoke testing as soon as the weather
permits. We also plan to resume inspecting manholes in the near future. If you have any
questions or require more information, contact me at your convenience.

Linda,
During February, the City of Marion Public Works Department rehabilitated 3 manholes to
eliminate infiltration. The repairs consisted of sealing joints, installing new rings and lids,
repairing channels and shelves, etc. Personnel also discovered and repaired a broken 8" main on
West Court Street, replaced a broken cleanout at 132 Fourth Street, and replaced 7 cleanout caps
at an RV Park. No smoke testing was conducted in February due to frozen ground, saturated
ground, and other extenuating circumstances.
The table below summarizes the types of I&I, by category, that have been discovered thus far.
The table also summarizes the amount of repair work that has been completed. Note that out of
the 202 sources of I&I that have been discovered, 129 (or 64%) have been eliminated.

Chamad #1, the meter located immediately upstream of the Chamad Warehouse, indicated an
average daily flow of 104,473 gpd. Chamad #2, the meter located immediately downstream of
the Chamad Warehouse, indicated an average daily flow of 139,600 gpd. The difference (35,127
gpd) is believed to be domestic flow from a lateral that serves approximately 35 residences.
Without a third meter, the flow from this lateral could not be measured simultaneously with the
main Chamad flow. We do, however, intend on measuring this flow at a later date.

calculated as follows:
Est Inflow = Rain Day Flow - Average Daily Dry Day Flow
Average Dry Day Flow = Average of daily flows for the period of record (dry days only)

Report # 15
Linda,
During March, the City of Marion Public Works Department smoke tested approximately 5,154
linear feet of sewer line. We also conducted dye tests and used the sewer camera to locate
sources of I&I, when necessitated.
Approximately 23% (17.28 miles) of the gravity portion of the collection system has been smoke
tested since January 9, 2014. The table below summarizes the types of I&I, by category, that
have been discovered thus far. The table also summarizes the amount of repair work that has
been completed. Note that out of the 212 sources of I&I that have been discovered, 130 (or
61%) have been eliminated.

In accordance with the Updated Plan of Action, submitted on 10/28/15, a section of the sewer
line on Glenview Street was repaired. The repair was made by F&S Contractors at a cost of
$24,544. The project included the replacement of two manholes and 180 feet of 8" sewer main
that was degraded. Excavation of the main revealed a large amount of ground water entering the
main at the joints. In addition, a large amount of ground water (approx. 5, gpm) was entering the
sewer main from a service line tap that has been vacant (no water or sewer usage) for many
years. Further investigation revealed that the service line was very old bituminous fiber pipe
(BFP) that was experiencing a lot of ground water infiltration. We capped the service line at the
tap to eliminate the inflow into the sewer main and notified the property owner that the service
line would have to be repaired or replaced, to the City's satisfaction, prior to reinstituting sewer
service to the property in the future. The following photos show the repair of the main being
made. Please note the large amount of ground water flowing into the excavation (approx. 20
gpm at times).

Flow meter readings taken from a manhole downstream of the repair indicate that the repair
resulted in a significant reduction of I&I. Flow meter readings taken prior to the repair being
made indicated an average night-time' flow of 9, gpm. Flow meter readings taken after the
completion of the repair indicated an average night-time" flow of 2, gpm. Based on flow meter
readings, we estimate the total amount of I&I reduced from the system to be approximately
11,520, gpd. The flow log summary is shown below.

Report # 17
Linda,
During May, the City of Marion Public Works Department smoke tested approximately 3,131
linear feet of sewer line. We also conducted dye tests and used the sewer camera to locate
sources of I&I, when needed.
Approximately 24.2% (18.2 miles) of the gravity portion of the collection system has been
smoke tested since January 9, 2014. The table below summarizes the types of I&I, by category,
that have been discovered thus far. The table also summarizes the amount of repair work that
has been completed. Note that out of the 258 sources of I&I that have been discovered, 140 (or
54%) have been eliminated.

MANHOLE INSPECTION PROGRAM
During May, 100 manholes were inspected. A total of 554 manholes have been inspected since
the manhole inspection program was started, in August 2014. Of the 554 inspected, 130 were
found to have issues that were causing or could cause inflow and/or infiltration. Those
manholes are accounted for in the table on page 1. Of the 130 that were found to have I&I
issues, 53 have been repaired.
FLOW MONITORING AND ANALYSIS:
All data collected continues to indicate that rainfall events producing less than 2" per day do not

Re: Progress Report for June, 2015
Report # 18
Linda,
During the month of June, City Personnel rehabilitated two manholes and replaced 35 feet of
sewer line to eliminate I&I. One of the manholes rehabilitated was on Yancy Street near house
number 80. It is listed as manhole # 156A on our manhole inventory list. The manhole was
sealed with a brush -on epoxy sealant and the cover was raised. The other manhole repaired was
located in the intersection of Claremont and Broad Streets and is number 255D on the manhole
inventory list. It was sealed with a brush -on epoxy sealant and the floor and channel was
repaired. While making this repair, personnel noticed the influent pipe to the manhole was
degraded, so 35 feet of pipe was replaced as well. No smoke testing was performed during June
because the crew is currently understaffed (2 vacancies and 1 on military leave) and they were
very busy performing other duties. We will resume smoke testing asap.
The table below summarizes the sources of I&I that have been discovered and the repairs that
have been made since our I&I reduction initiative began in January 2014. Note that out of the
258 sources of I&I that have been discovered, 142 (or 55%) have been eliminated.

Re: Progress Report for September, 2015
Report #21
Linda,
During September, personnel of the Public Works Department smoke tested approximately
11,604 linear feet of sewer line in the East Marion area. We prioritized this area because tests
using portable flow meters indicated the presence of I&I during rain events. The smoke tests
successfully revealed a lot of sources (and potential sources) of I&I in the system. They revealed
102 open and/or broken cleanouts, 4 broken service lines, and 1 manhole that is in need of
sealing. Many of the open cleanouts were in low lying areas and had the potential to take on a
lot of storm water runoff during rain events. Following are pictures showing some of the I&I
sources that were discovered.

All 102 open cleanouts were repaired and capped as they were found, immediately
eliminating them as sources of I&I. I am extremely proud of the job done by the Utility
Maintenance Crew during September, particularly Scott Costner (Utility Maintenance
Superintendent) and Travis Mace (Collection System Crew Leader), to locate and eliminate
sources of I&I. The crew tested 2.2 miles of pipe and repaired all 102 open cleanouts as they
were found, in addition to performing their other duties. I feel that's very commendable. We
also conducted dye tests and used the sewer camera to locate sources of I&I, when needed. At
this time, we cannot quantify how much flow reduction will result from the repairs made because
the repairs were made late in the month and adequate flow data is not available yet. We do
know, however, that a significant amount of I&I had to be eliminated by making the repairs.
Approximately 30% (22.6 miles) of the gravity portion of the collection system has been smoke
tested since January 9, 2014. The table below summarizes the types of I&I, by category, that
have been discovered thus far. The table also summarizes the amount of repair work that has
been completed. Note that out of the 394 sources of I&I that have been discovered, 253 (or

FLOW MONITORING AND ANALYSIS:
All data collected continues to indicate that we are successfully reducing I&I from the system.
We did, however, notice a significant increase in the flow of extraneous water to the Clinchfield
Lift Station during two rain events in October. The first rain event produced 3 inches of rain
from October 2nd — October 3rd. The second rain event produced 2.8 inches of rain from October
27tn — 28tn During both events, the inflow of storm water increased significantly during the
periods when rain fell at a rate of 0.5" or more per hour. The graph below shows the rainfall and

We believe a manhole located along a creek bank is responsible for some of the I&I flow to the
Clinchfield Lift Station. During a recent rain event, it was noticed that a significant amount of
creek water entered the manhole (through holes in the mortar) when the creek rose to a certain
level. We plan to replace the manhole in the near future.
Flow data also indicates the presence of more I&I at or near the Chamad Warehouse in
Clinchfield. To date, smoke testing has not revealed any new sources at that location, but we
will continue searching.

Re: Progress Report for November, 2015
Report #23
Linda,
During November, personnel of the Public Works Department performed field inspections of
several different sections of the collection system. The field inspections consisted of visual
inspections of the easements and manholes during rain events. While performing the
inspections, personnel discovered two manholes that needed to be repaired and sealed. Both
manholes were repaired and sealed with an epoxy sealant.
The inspections described above were performed in lieu of smoke testing because the ground
was saturated, in the areas we needed to smoke test, during the majority of the month. As you
are aware, smoke testing does not yield good results when groundwater is high or the ground is
saturated. We received almost 10 inches of rain during November. We will resume smoke
testing as soon as possible.
The abundance of rain during November allowed us to gather and analyze more flow data. The
flow data indicated a significant increase in the flow of extraneous water to the Clinchfield Lift
Station during the rain events. This trend actually started in October, as was reported in the last
progress report. The problem seems to be at or near the Chamad Warehouse, but we have not
been able to locate it as of the date of this report. As was reported in the October report, we
suspect a manhole located along a creek bank to be responsible for some of the extraneous flow.
We plan to replace that manhole in the near future. The graph below shows the rainfall and flow
amounts for the Clinchfield Lift Station from September - November, 2015.

Clinchfield Lift Station Flow and Rainfall Data
As shown in the graph, rain events that produced less than 0.53 inches of rain per day had little
to no effect on flows to the lift station. Rain events producing greater than 1.25 inches of rain
per day, however, increased flows significantly. We also noticed, in every rain event, it rained
hard for approximately one whole day before significant flow increases occurred at the lift
station.
The following graph shows the Corpening Creek WWTP flow and rainfall data for September -
November, 2015. The trends shown resemble those shown in the Clinchfield Lift Station graph.

letters out asap, hopefully in December.
In summary, the large quantity of rainfall received during November revealed that I&I continues
to be a problem within the collection system, despite our accomplishments in reducing I&I since
January 2014. As shown in last month's progress report, we discovered 412 I&I sources from
January 2014 — October 2015 and we have eliminated 64% of them. Of those I&I sources
eliminated, several were contributing significant amounts of I&I during rain events. As shown in
the Updated Plan of Action, submitted on October 26, 2015, the elimination of 3 significant I&I
sources eliminated approximately 74,880 gallons per day of I&I flow from the system. As you
are aware, reduction of I&I is a work -in -progress and new sources of I&I can occur at any time
as the collection system ages. We are dedicated to achieving our goal of reducing I&I to a level
that does not cause NPDES permit violations during rain events. We will continue working
diligently to find and eliminate the sources of I&I. If you have any questions or require more
information, contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Brant

Re: Progress Report for December, 2015
Report #24
Linda,
I am pleased to report the Public Works Department made a significant amount of progress
toward finding and eliminating sources of I&I during December. The following items were all
completed during the month:
• Approximately 13,538 LF of sewer was smoke tested. All of the tests conducted were re-
tests of areas that had been recently tested. The areas, all in and around the Clinchfield
Basin, were re -tested because flow data continued to indicate that significant amounts of
I&I was present in the areas. The smoke tests did reveal more sources of I&I. The most
significant sources were found at Chamad Warehouse in Clinchfield (the warehouse
where significant sources were found and eliminated previously during our study). The
I&I sources discovered at Chamad are listed below. As shown, we were able to eliminate
many of them immediately.
0 2 positive gutters on the Branch Street side of building #2 — disconnected on
12/29/15.
0 3 open pits connected to sewer — Plugged the lines from the pits on 12/29/15.
Pictures of 2 of the open pits are attached.
0 1 open 2" pipe (appeared to be from old chiller) connected to sewer — Plugged
pipe on 12/29/15.
0 25 open cast iron pipes connected to sewer (these pipes were never plugged when
the gutters were disconnected approx. 9 years ago) — Plugged all 25 pipes on
1/7/16.
o Several positive gutter drains on the Virginia Road side of building #2. These
gutters will be disconnected asap.
o Testing indicated what appears to be another spring running through the basement
of building #1 (just like the stream we discovered in 2014, but discharging into
Page 1 of 5

another manhole). We need to enter the building to verify these indications. We
plan to request entry from the owner next week. A picture showing the discharge
manhole is attached.
• Personnel discovered and capped an old, abandoned, sewer lateral on Moodytown Road.
This open lateral was taking on storm water during rain events. Personnel also repaired
the caps and lids on 2 nearby manholes. Further investigation revealed that these issues
were causing the I&I that was originally attributed to an old section of line on
Moodytown Road (the line that was listed as priority #2 on our Updated Plan of Action).
Therefore, priority #2 in the Updated Plan of Action is complete.
• Personnel completed priority #5 on the Updated Plan of Action on 12/11/15. The scope
of work included replacing 40 LF of 8" sewer main and 15 LF of 15" drain tile. While
making the repair, personnel discovered 2 illegal gutter taps and 2 abandoned sewer taps.
All four taps were disconnected. After completing the repairs, personnel smoke tested
the area. No smoke was detected.
• While attempting to make the repair listed as priority #6 on the Updated Plan of Action,
Personnel discovered that the bigger problem was actually a deteriorated manhole
approximately 20 feet downstream from the section of line they had planned to replace.
Therefore, the manhole will be listed as part of priority #4 and priority #6 will be
removed from the Updated Plan of Action.
• Personnel sealed 2 manholes on Virginia Road with epoxy sealant. Neither of the
manholes had been inspected nor assigned a number.
• Personnel capped and/or repaired several cleanouts.
• Personnel conducted field inspections during rain events.
Since January 9, 2014 (date our program officially started), approximately 140,062 LF of sewer
line has been smoke tested. Of that amount, approximately 18,345 LF was line that was being
re -tested. Therefore, approximately 121,717 LF (23 miles) of the collection system has been
tested during our study. That equates to approximately 31 % of the gravity portion of our system.
In addition, we have also inspected 654 manholes as part of our manhole inspection program.
The table below summarizes the types of I&I, by category, that have been discovered thus far.
The table also summarizes the amount of repair work that has been completed. Note that out of
the 434 sources of I&I that have been discovered, 273 (or 63%) have been eliminated.

As in November, the abundance of rain we received during December allowed us to gather and
analyze more flow data. Flow data is still indicating an increase in the flow of extraneous water
to the Clinchfield Lift Station during rain events. We believe the repairs we made in December
will help to reduce that amount. The graph below shows the rainfall and flow amounts for the

Re: Progress Report for January 2016
Report #25
Linda,
During January, Personnel of the Public Works Department smoke tested approximately 2,300
feet of sewer line, conducted field investigations of the collection system, and sealed/repaired 13
manholes. Of the 2,300 feet of line that was smoke tested, 2,000 feet was a re -test of the
Chamad Warehouse property. Personnel logged approximately 105 man-hours investigating the
Chamad property during January.
On I/I 1/16, while conducting a field investigation at Chamad Warehouse, personnel discovered
a hole in the ground on the dam end of the pond. Water from the pond was spilling down into
the hole. Further investigation revealed that the hole contained a large valve that was submerged
under pond water. The valve appeared to be approx. 1 — 2 feet under water. Personnel suspect
that the valve and line are a drain for the pond. Further investigation is needed to verify whether
or not this line is a source of I&I, but, as of the date of this report, everything indicates that the
line is tied into our sewer system. If it is tied into our sewer system, this will most likely prove
to be a large source of I&I. Personnel plans to dye test the line asap. The following pictures
show the pond and the location of the hole that contains the submerged valve.

Page 3 of 7

As of the date of this report, there are still a lot of unanswered questions and "mystery" regarding
the hole and the submerged valve. The unanswered questions are:
• What purpose does the line and valve serve? Personnel suspect the line to be a drain line
for the pond, but it is not constructed like a typical drain line and the valve is very hard to
access.
• Does the line also carry storm water from some of the storm drains on the property? As
stated in prior reports, almost all of the storm drains have smoked during smoke tests, but
we have not discovered where all of the storm drains discharge to yet.
• How far under the pond does the line extend? Could there be multiple points of
infiltration?
• Is the line tied into our sewer system and, if so, where? None of the manhole
observations have revealed a line from the pond. It could, however, be tapped into a
sewer line somewhere between the pond and Clinchfield Lift Station.
Answering the questions listed above and proving that the line is a source of I&I will require
more investigation and more coordination with the property owner. The task is especially
complicated because, according to the property owner, no record drawings are available for the
property. The investigation will take time, but personnel have prioritized it as a top priority.
Personnel plans to dye test the line asap.
Approximately 122,017 LF (23 miles) of the collection system has been smoke tested since
January 9, 2014. That equates to approximately 31 % of the gravity portion of our system. In
addition, we have also inspected 654 manholes as part of our manhole inspection program. The
table below summarizes the types of I&I, by category, that have been discovered thus far. The
table also summarizes the amount of repair work that has been completed. Note that out of the
437 sources of I&I that have been discovered, 286 (or 65%) have been eliminated.

Re: Progress Report for February 2016
Report #26
Linda,
During February, Personnel of the Public Works Department performed more field investigations
at Chamad Warehouse in Clinchfield. Personnel determined that water from the pond is
definitely getting into the sewer system. At this time, we suspect the water is infiltrating a pipe
that is located under the pond. To confirm this, we will have to pump the pond down and
excavate the pipe. We are currently coordinating this project with the property owner and we
anticipate doing the project within the next 3 weeks. We have also received permission from the
property owner to disconnect 22 gutter drains that are currently connected to the sewer. We plan
to disconnect the gutter drains simultaneously with the pond project. Personnel also completed
the following during February:
• Repaired a 12' section of 8" sewer main on Vale Street. The top of this section of
pipe was open and allowing ground water to enter the sewer system.
• Dye tested the springs inside the basement of the Chamad building. No dye showed
up in the sewer, which indicates the work we have done to eliminate the springs has
worked.
• Repaired/sealed 5 manholes.
The table below summarizes the types of I&I, by category, that have been discovered since
January 2014. The table also summarizes the amount of repair work that has been completed.
Note that out of the 437 sources of I&I that have been discovered, 291 (or 67%) have been
eliminated.

The summary has been revised to include the information you requested during our telephone
conversation on March 26, 2014.
SUMMARY OF THE I&I PROBLEM:
The City of Marion is experiencing significant increases in wastewater flows to the Corpening
Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) during periods of moderate to high rainfall, due to a
significant I&I problem within the wastewater collection system. Recently, high flows during a
rain event caused the W WTP to lose its nitrification process and, subsequently, violate its weekly
and monthly Ammonia Nitrogen limits.

In response to the problem, the City has implemented an I&I study in an attempt to identify and
eliminate the sources of I&I. The I&I study consists of the field assessment of the collection
system, the analysis of flow monitoring data, and the smoke testing of lines. Much of the field
assessment portion of the study has already been conducted. As part of the field assessment,
City of Marion staff identified three areas of the collection system that are believed to have high
potential for I&I. The three areas were labeled "critical basins" for the purposes of the study.
The three critical basins are as follows: (A) Clinchfield Area; (B) Baldwin Avenue; and (C)
Cross Mill Area. The attached map shows the location of all three critical basins.
PLAN FOR SOLVING THE I&I PROBLEM:
Step 1: Identify sources of I&I.
Sources of I&I will be identified using various sewer testing techniques including smoke
testing, dye testing, and the use of a sewer camera. Our goal is to test at least 10% (7.5
miles) of the gravity portion of the collection system by the end of August 2014. The
majority of the smoke testing will be conducted in the three critical basins, but other areas
will be tested if problems are suspected there. We will keep the Asheville Regional
Office updated as to our progress by submitting monthly, written, updates.
This step of the plan was actually started in January 2014. As shown in the last update,
sent on 3/31/14, approximately 12,037 linear feet of line was tested from 1/9/14 —
3/31/14. Those tests revealed 27 different sources of I&I. Several of those sources have
already been eliminated.
Step 2: Make repairs to eliminate sources of I&I.
Once the sources of I&I are located, they will be eliminated by making the appropriate
repairs. Since many different sources are contributing to the I&I, the types of repairs will
vary, as will the time it takes to make certain repairs. Some repairs will be minor and
will be completed simultaneously with the smoke testing event in which they are found,
or as soon as possible thereafter. Replacing missing cleanouts and replacing short
sections of line are examples of minor repairs. We have already made some minor
repairs in conjunction with the smoke tests that have been completed.
Other repairs will be major and will require more time to complete. Examples of major
repairs are as follows:
• Disconnecting storm drains
• Replacing long sections of line
• Lining or replacing manholes
• Abandoning and re-routing lines
Most of the major repairs will have to be assessed on a case -by -case basis to determine
how the repair should be made and to estimate the cost of the repair. Some of the major
repairs may even have to be treated as "projects" in that they may have to be funded,
designed, and/or permitted. If it becomes evident that a large, costly project is needed,

the City will have to consider its options and seek funding for the project. Large projects
will require the approval of the City Manager and/or City Council.
We anticipate many of the needed repairs will be on private sewer laterals. As we
discover problems on private sewer laterals, we will notify the property owner and
require them to eliminate the sources of I&I on their property. Some
of the issues will be rather simple for the property owners to repair while other situations,
such as positive storm drain connections, will be more complicated and will require more
coordination and time. We plan to assist the property owners in whatever ways we can.
Step 3: Measure progress by monitoring flow.
As sources of I&I are eliminated, we will monitor decreases in flow in correlation with
rainfall data. By monitoring the critical basins, we can determine which basins are the
most problematic and where we have made the most progress. Flow from Critical Basin
"A", the Clinchfield Area, will be measured at the Clinchfield Lift Station located on
Forsythe Street. The flows from Critical Basins "B" and "C" will be measured together,
at the Corpening Creek WWTP. We plan to measure these basins together, as opposed to
separately, for the following reasons: 1) Both of these basins drain directly to the WWTP
and; 2) we can obtain a more accurate measurement at the WWTP, as opposed to placing
a portable (area/velocity) meter in a manhole. If, during the course of the I&I study, it is
determined that Critical Basins `B" and "C" need to be measured separately, we will do
so by performing tracer dye and float tests to calculate the flows. Overall progress will
also be measured by analyzing flow data from the WWTP.
The City currently utilizes a "digital rain bucket" system to obtain accurate rainfall data
from multiple points across the City. Rainfall data from this same system will be used in
the I&I study. The locations of the rainfall data collection points are shown on the
attached Critical Basins Map.
Step 4. Monthly progress update to ARO.
We will continue to submit written, monthly progress reports to the ARO.

NORTH CAROLINA )
NPDES PERMIT NCO031879 )
HELD BY THE CITY OF MARION )
COMPLIANCE AGREEMENT
File Number C 14-001
Water Resoufc on
Perm,W)g
Pursuant to provisions of North Carolina General Statute § 143-215.3(a)(6)5 this Compliance
Agreement is entered into by the City of Marion, herein referred to as the City, and the North
Carolina Environmental Management Commission, an agency of the State of North Carolina
created by N.C. General Statute § 143B-282, and hereinafter referred to as the Commission:
1. The City and the Commission hereby agree to the following findings:
(a.) The City holds North Carolina NPDES permit NC0031879 for operation of the Corpening
Creek wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) and for making an outlet therefrom for the
discharge of treated wastewater to an unnamed tributary to Corpening Creek, Class C waters
of this State in the Catawba River Basin.
(b.) Effluent limits included as terms of NPDES permit NC0031879 have been established as
those concentrations and/or loadings of pollutants in that may be discharged into the receiving
stream without causing applicable water quality standards to be contravened.
(c.) The Corpening Creek WWTP has been noncompliant with the effluent limits contained in
NPDES permit NC0031879 m the manner and to the extent described in Attachment A to this
Order. Reported violations of effluent limits have persisted from January 2013 through
November 2013.
(d.) Effluent limit violations are often associated with wet weather events and large volumes of
extraneous flow resulting from inflow and infiltration (I&I) within the City's collection
system. Surge flow due to I&I leads to washout of solids from the WWTP and creates
conditions not conducive for the efficient performance of treatment organisms.
(e.) The City historically has recognized issues associated with I&I and its management within the
collection system. The City's most recent I&I removal project was completed in 2009.
(f.) The City has renewed investigations of its collection system to identify sources of I&I, and is
repairing minor and accessible sources in place as they are identified.
(g.) On March 20, 2014, (revised April 2, 2014) the City submitted a corrective action plan for
returning the facility to consistent compliance with the terms of the NPDES permit.
2. Based upon the above findings, the City and the Commission agree to the implementation of the
following schedule (based upon the plan of action described in 1.(g.) above):
(a.) Continue testing (smoke testing, dye testing, video) portions of the collection system and
document results of testing. Remove sources of I&I in place where possible.

City of Marion Compliance Agreement C 14-001
NC0031879
p. 2
(b.) Begin flow studies within the collection system by May 1, 2014.
(c.) Begin evaluation and categorization of testing results no later than September 1, 2014.
(d.) Submit an updated/detailed plan of action to the Asheville Regional Office and the Central
Office by October 31, 2014. The plan should consist of two parts:
(1.) Collection S. ss�. The plan should provide details regarding:
• the scope and complexity of repairs to be made
• prioritization given to particular projects
• whether the City will perform its own repairs or contract for service.
Cost projections should also be provided, as well as the sources) of funding for the repairs.
(2.) Wastewater Treatment Plant. The plan should include an overview of existing treatment
units, their operation, and their current efficiency. Discussions should be provided
regarding the potential for gaining improved flow equalization during wet weather events
within the existing treatment units, and the utility and feasibility of adding a flow
equalization basin to the treatment system.
(e.) Secure permits for any permitted activities associated with the project by December 31, 2014.
(f.) Begin construction of major and/or permitted projects by January 15, 2015.
(g.) Provide progress reports to the Asheville Regional Office on a monthly basis, documenting
activities performed during the preceding month, and submitted by the 10day of the month.
(h.) Provide a final report that includes estimated flow reductions by April 30, 2015
(i.) Return to consistent compliance or enter into a Special Order by Consent no later than July
31, 2015. "Consistent compliance " as stated above is defined as being compliant ti��ith all
terms and conditions of NPDES permit NC0031879, as primarily evidenced by data submitted
on Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs), for the months April 2015 through Jame 2015.
3. Nothing in this Agreement relieves the City of its duty to abide by the terms of NPDES permit
NC0031879. Noncompliance with the terms of the NPDES permit may subject the City to the
assessment of additional civil penalties during the time this Agreement is in effect. However, the
Division will use discretion in its consideration of civil penalty assessments for violations of permit
limits associated with wet weather events that occur during the life of the Agreement.
4. Failure to comply with the terms of this Agreement may subject the City to the assessment of
additional civil penalties pursuant to Part II, Section B (2.) (the "Duty to Mitigate" condition) of
NPDES permit NC0031879.
5. Requests, actions and or reports required by the terms of paragraph 2 above shall be deemed overdue
if they are not made, completed or submitted by the dates specified. The burden for providing
sufficient documentation of the satisfaction of the terms of this Agreement is held entirely by the
City.

City of Marion Compliance Agreement C 14-001
14C0031879
p. 3
6. Because this is an Agreement between the Commission and the City, neither party will file a petition
for a contested case or for judicial review concerning its terms.
7. The City may request an extension/modification to this Agreement. Such request must be made in
writing to the Division of Water Resources' Asheville Regional Office. The request must include
reasons for the extension/modification and state when compliance with the NPDES permit will be
achieved. Any extension/modification must be approved in writing by the Director of the Division of
Water Resources or his designee in order to be effective.
8. This Agreement shall expire August 31, 2015.

Re: I&I Identification and Collection System Testing
Update # 1
Linda,
Staff began smoke testing the collection system on 1/9/13. Since that date, approximately one
full day of smoke testing has been completed. We had hoped to complete more testing during
January, but weather events combined with water leaks in the distribution system have prevented
us from doing so. We hope to resume collection system testing this week. We also plan to use
the assistance of a contractor, in the near future, to help us speed up the process. We are
currently waiting on a quote from the contractor.
The results of the first smoke test are as follows. As you will see from the results, we were
successful in locating and eliminating a significant source of I&I.
Date of test: 1/9/13
Location: End of College Drive near 634 College Drive.
Results: Detected 3, uncapped, 4-inch stub -outs at a property where an addition to an industrial
building is being built.
Repairs: Required the contractor to cap the 4" pipes and explained that the caps must remain in
place until all plumbing work/construction is complete. Staff will monitor the location to ensure
that the caps remain in place.
Attachment: Pictures of smoke test results.

Re: I&I Identification and Collection System Smoke Testing
Update #2
Linda,
Staff began smoke testing the collection system on January 9, 2014, in an effort to identify
sources of inflow and infiltration (I&I). To date, Staff has smoke tested approximately 4,734
linear feet of line. The following table shows the sources of I&I that have been identified thus
far:

All of the sources of I&I that have been identified so far are on private sewer laterals. We have
already required the owner of the Universal Property to cap the 3 exposed cleanouts. We have
also capped the camper service connection at 249 School Street. The other issues will require
action on the part of the property owners. We will notify the property owners in the near future
and require that they eliminate the sources of I&I on their properties. Some of the issues will be
rather simple for the property owners to repair, while other situations such as positive storm
drain connections, will be more complicated and will require more coordination. We plan to
assist the property owners in whatever ways we can.
More smoke tests are being planned for the near future. To speed up the process, we have
procured the services of HST, Inc. of Mooresboro, NC. HST plans to start smoke testing within
the next 7 days, weather permitting. We have prioritized several areas where we suspect I&I to
be present and HST will start by testing these areas.
As you are probably aware, smoke testing is very weather dependent. To achieve the desired
results, smoke testing should not be conducted during rain events or under the cover of snow or
ice. Smoke testing yields its best results when groundwater is low. If groundwater is high, many
of the existing cracks will not leak smoke. Because of these factors, the amount of times we
could smoke test during February was limited. In addition, we questioned some of the results we
obtained on School Street in Clinchfield. We suspect that I&I is probable on this line, but no
smoke was visible during the smoke test. This was most likely due to the saturated ground on
the date of the test. We plan to smoke test the line again when the ground is drier.
If you have any questions or require more information, contact me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
Brant
