The facility will still be required to report actual'TRC results or <MDL can their monthly
Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR.$) submittals. The permit appears to adequately describe the
facility, the waste stream being treated, and the receiving; waters.
The Forest Ridge wastewater treatment system is a package plant that utilizes extended
aeration waste treatment; consisting of an influent lift station, a bar screen, a flow splitting
device, an equalization basin; and two 0.07 MGD extended aeration wastewater treatment trains
connected in parallel that share continuous effluent flow measurement. Each of the treatment
trains consists of an aeration basin, a clarifier, a tertiary filter, a clear well, a mud well, an
aerobic digester, and a; chlorine contact basin.
The certification classification for NCO02 181 requires that the facility have an operator

GENERAL:
The facility was last inspected by MCWQP on Sept
Deficiency was issued on October 23, 2006.
PERMIT:
The current permit becanie effective on July 1, 200:
The Forest Ridge wastewater treatment system is a package plant that utilizes extended
aeration waste treatment; consisting of an influent lift station, a bar screen, a flow splitting
device, an equalization basin, and two 0.074 MG D extended aeration wastewater treatment trains
connected in parallel that share continuous effluent flow measurement. Each of the treatment
trains consists of an aeration basin, a clarifier, a tertiary filter, a clear well, a mud well, an
aerobic digester, and a chlorine contact basin.
The facility received an Authorization to Construct (ATC No. 02918 1 AO 1) a
dechlorination system utilizing sodium bisuffite on April 10, 2007. The sodium bisulfite
dechlorination system was installed and functioning at the time of inspection.
The certification classification for NCO029181 requires that the facility have an operator
in responsible charge (ORC) with a Grade 2 Biological Water Pollution Control System (WW-2)
certification. The facility is staffed with personnel that possess the appropriate operator
certification.
RECORDS/REPORTS:
The ORC maintains daily logs and records/reports relative to self -monitoring,
maintenance, calibration, and process control. Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were
reviewed for the period September 2006 through August 2007. The reports appeared to be
properly completed.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW:
All of the existing components of the facility were in service and appeared to be
operating properly at the time of the inspection. Screen netting covers the aeration tanks to
exclude leaves. A fence and locked gate surrounds the treatment works for security. The
facility's auto -dialer (high water alarm) and other electrical equipment are maintained in a
locked building that also serves as the ORC's field office and on -site laboratory.

of the similar events. Any spill that reaches surface waters i.e. any spill that reaches any water
already present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc.) or any spill greater than 1,000 gallons on the
ground that does not reach surface eaters must be reported.
n adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface 'waters should include an
evaluation 'downstreamof the point at which the spill entered surface waters to detennine if a
fish kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved
oxygen and pH measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH
measurements at multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative
impact. Failure to report the bypass of collection system, pumping station or treatment facility
subjects violators to penalties of up to $25,000.00 per day per violation.

2010. Previously identified inaccuracies in the permit's supplemental cover shut have been
corrected in the renewed permit. The permit appears to adequately describe the facility, the
waste stream being treated and the receiving waters.
The Forest Ridge wastewater treatment system is a package plant that utilizes extended
aeration waste treatment; consisting of an influent lift station, bar screen, flow splitting device,
equalization basin, two 0.074 MGD extended aeration wastewater treatment trains connected in
parallel that share continuous effluent flow measurement. Each oft e treatment trainconsists
of an aeration basin, clarifier, tertiary Ater, clearwell, udell,' aerobic digester; and a chlorine
contact basin.

the time of inspection. ' The receiving water did not appear to be adversely affected by the
effluent.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Discharge Monitoring :Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period September 200
through August 2006. The DMRs indicate that the facility was in compliance with perinit
monitoring requirements and discharge limits during the review period, except for the following:
April 2006 - The required weekly monitoring of temperature and dissolved oxygen was
not completed at the upstream and downstream sample locations during the week.. of April
2"d 2006. This violation will be addressed under separate cover by the Division of Water
Quality.
OPERATIONS t& MAINTENANCE:
The facility grounds and equipment appeared in good' condition at the time of inspection.
Carolina hater Service, Inc. maintains an inventory of spare parts at the facility. A back-up
portable generator with quick -connect electrical couplings is maintained can -site. The current
overall operating strategy appears acceptable for the size and type of the facility.

(CMU) disposal site. Biotech, Inc. was not evaluated under this inspection.
SEWER OVERFLOW:
Please be advised that pursuant to Part 11 Section R of your NPDES permit and North
Carolina Administrative Code (N AC) 15A 2B .050 (a)(2), any failure of a collection system,

of the similar events. Any spill that reaches surface wasters (i.e. any spill that reaches any water
already present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc.) or any spill greater than. 1,000 gallons on the
ground that does not reach surface waters must be reported.
An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface waters should include an
evaluation 'downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a
fish kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved
oxygen and pl-I measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH
measurements at 'multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative
impact. Failure to report the bypass of collection system, pumping station or treatment facility
subjects violators to penalties of up to $25,000.00 per day per violation.

Dear Mr. Bridgernan,
We are in receipt of the November 3, 2004 letter concerning the above referenced inspection. We are
pleased that Mr. Price (MCWQP) found the facility well operated and maintained.
In regards to the Self -Monitoring Program section, we are of course aware of the incidents referenced
as an NOV was issued for each occurrence. Each of the exceedences were single daily excursions of
BOD in three separate months. While we take this seriously, we were not able to identify a problem or
corrective action due to the isolated instances. BOD could have been affected by handling or by
laboratory errors.
If you should need any additional information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me
at , A-514-7990, Ext. 216. Thank you for your attention.

Compliance inspection of May 2, 2003
Dear Mr. Bridgeman
We are in receipt of your May 2, 2003 correspondence concerning the above referenced
inspection. While we were pleased with the overall rating of a four for the facility, the
unsatisfactory ratings given to us by Mr. Wilson seem unwarranted. We respond as follows:
Effluent / Receivina Waters
The slight build up of settled solids that you indicated are a build up of trace amounts that built up
over a period of time. We feel that such slight amounts are allowable and to be expected. Section
A. (1.) of the N PDES permit states "There shall be no discharge of floating solids or visible foam
in other than trace amounts." In addition, our permit stipulates a 30- g/l Total Suspended Solids
monthly average. At full permitted flow of 150,000 gp, this would equate to 37.5 pounds of
allowable solids into the receiving stream on a daily basis. Over time, especially in a low flow creek
such as the receiving stream, some accumulations may occur. However, our composite sampling
indicates that we are in full compliance with our effluent sampling requirements. We feel that the
effluent filters are performing adequately and that there is no need to adjust bacwashing frequency
but appreciate Mr. Wilson's suggestions and will keep them in mind.
Self -Monitoring
The report states that the DR's were reviewed from "September, 2001 through August 00".
We were indeed remiss in collecting quarterly samples for Total Phosphorus and Total Nitrogen
for the 2t'd and 3rd quarters of 2002 and we sincerely apologize for this oversight. However,
September 2002 was part of the third quarter of 2002 and this DMR was not included in the review.
Technically, Mr. Wilson did not have all the information to cite us for the second occurrence (3'
quarter). This is a technicality and we admit to the fault but want to clarify the period concerned.

of the wastewater shall be reported to the appropriate regional office (Mooresville Regional
Of 704-663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the permittee
became aware of the bypass. Spills occurring on weekends or holidays can be reported to the
Division's Emergency Response personnel at 800/662-7956, 800/858-0368 or 919-733-3300. A
written report shall also be provided within five (5) days of the time of the incident. The report
shall contain a description of the bypass, and its cause; the period of the bypass, including exact
dates and times, and if the bypass has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to
continue; and steps taken (or planned) to reduce, eliminate, and prevent recurrence of the similar
events. Any spill that reaches surface waters (ie, any spill that reaches any water already present
in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill greater than 1,000 gallons on the ground that
does not reach surface waters must be reported.
An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface waters should include an
evaluation downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a
fish kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved
oxygen and pH measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH
measurements at multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative
impact. Failure to report the bypass of collection system, pumping station or treatment facility
subjects violators to penalties of up to $25,000.00 per day per violation,

Tear Ms. Sullins,
e are in receipt of the above referenced Notice of Violation dated May 4, 2001. This
NOV and penalty assessment was for violations for the month of January 2001.
We hereby request for consideration of remission of the penalty. It is our position that
we promptly abated continuing environmental damage from the violations and have done
everything possible to ensure that the problem(s) were addressed promptly and corrected
from further occurrence. When we submitted the January 2001 DMR for this 'facility, we
included a detailed letter on our explanation and clarification of the non-compliance
issues for that month. I am enclosing it again for your use and review. We believe this
letter accurately explains our efforts and position and hope that it will be given
consideration for its merits: Additionally, subsequent IMR's for the months of
February, March and April of this year were in full compliance. Copies are enclosed for
your use and review.
I am enclosing the Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing as required.

Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harin to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of -
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for
contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter.
Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You
must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and
a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. -1 43B-282. I (b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violations;
(c) the violations were inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violation;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining

Re: Forest Ridge WWTP

January 2001 DMR Non -Compliance Explanation
Attachment to DWR
To Whom It May Concern:
This is to serve as the explanation for the non-compliance parameters of the above
referenced facility Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR).
The BOD analysis for 1/2/01, 1/9/01, 1/16/01 and the monthly average exceeded
permit limits. As you will see from the report, a high BOD value was accompanied wit
low TSS and low fecal coliform result, which was very unusual. We immediately begar
working with our laboratory to determine the cause of the high BOD results, Our tab,
";�I� -rn+nl r.hinrirva (TPr.N
might be a factor. -5-tarL darj� m gLhQ_da and approved state tab procedures protocol
require the lab to add a dechlorination agent to the sample if needed because of
suspected high chlorine. This should not cause a problem but since the dechlorination
agent is a reducing agent, the addition of the agent could theoretically cause dissolved
oxygen levels to deplete and give an erroneously high BOD analysis. We began trying to
lower the TRC levels and achieved compliant results toward the end of the month. As an
experiment, we took in a non-compliance sample on 1/26/01 with a high TRC and the
tab used a previously approved air stripping method to reduce the chlorine. The BOD
analysis was compliant. In addition, we began running COD tests (not required by the
permit) to get additional data. The COD data is shown for 1/26/01, 11130/01, and
11,31/01 samples.

w
February 28, 2901
Division of Water C uality
Page Two
Lastly, we noticed that we had a compliant BOIL but a non -compliant fecal coliform for
the 1 / 0/01 sample when the TRC was allowed to drop to 0.4 mg/l. The supposition
that the high BOO results were somehow caused by chlorination and/or dechlorination at
the lab seams supported by the evidence and highly probable.
e are continuing to work with the lab on this issue and would appreciate consideration
due to the circumstances.
Please feel free to call me at (704) 2-7"990, Ext. 216 should you need additional
information or have any questions.
Thank you for your attention and consideration.

Dear Mr. Bridgeman,
We are in receipt of your letter dated 12/18/01 concerning the above reference matter. The inspection
was conducted on 12/6/01 by Mr. James Wilson of the Mecklenburg County Department of
Environmental Protection. We are pleased Mr. Wilson found the facility operated well.
We have read the report and noted the Self -Monitoring Program section. These noted violations were
previously addressed on the DMR for the pertinent month as required, or were addressed by response to
civil penalty notice, The most recent violation was eleven months ago and we believe we have resolved
any previous problems to ensure compliance, We constantly strive to be in full compliance at all times,
and both the company and the ORC take these responsibilities seriously.
If you should have any questions or need any additional information, please do not hesitate to call me at

MEMORANDUM TO: Dave Goodrich
r
FROM: D. Rex Gleason
PREPARED BY: Samar Bou-Chazale
SUBJECT: Forest Ridge Subdivision WWT
Carolina Water Services, Inc. Of N.C.
Mecklenburg County, North Carolina.
The current permit for the subject facility (effective date
of September 1, 199) stipulated (in Part III,E) that ""the
permittee shall properly connect to an operational publicly owned
wastewater collection system within 180 days of Its availability
to the 'site, if the facility is in noncompliance with its permit
effluent limitations for three consecutive months".
A review of the past year's (02 00- 1101)monitor�i.ng reports
show that the facility was not in compliance with its effluent
limitations for four consecutive months staring in October 2000
and. ending January 2001. The MRO recommendation was that; the
permit be .renewed for one year and stipulate that the above
wastewater treatment facility connect to the CMU<sewer system
(located within 50 feet of the facility) since the WWTP was in
noncompliance for four consecutive months. However, ;after
further review,'a letter dated October 2, 199 (signed by you.)
was located in the file (coy enclosed).; In this letter, i DWQ
agreed with the applicant to delete condition E from the permit.
In light of the new discovery, The MRO would like to revise
it recommendations to the following. It is recommended that the
permit be renewed for one year and stipulate that an alternative
analysis to the discharge be submitted. within. (0) days of the
permit renewal, or CWS proceed immediately to connect to the C:MU
sewer system.
