The facility was found to be in good order. The facility is able to use some of the treated water for the building HVAC system, However, there is still a certain amount of effluent water that continues to be discharged to Irwin Creek. During the site visit, it was mentioned that the treated water may evently all be used for building HVAC system. However, the permittee will most likely retain the discharge permit as a back-up for overflow and storm -water events. This permit has one outfall. The outfall discharge was observed to be clew, free of foam, solids and odors.

JAY ZIMMERMAN ENVi RC3Atla 4NTAt_ QUALITY Director June 24, 2016 Barbra Harbold Gateway Village LLG 800 W Trade St Ste 100 Charlotte, N 82G}2 C'E Subject: NPDES Electronic Reporting Requirements Gateway Village; remediation site NPDES Permit lumber: NCO08651 Dear NPDES Per ittee: The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently published the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule. The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to report information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports. The rule does not change what information is required from facilities. It only changes the method by which information is provided (i.e., electronic rather than paper -based). EPA is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5-year period. The two phases of the rule, and their key milestones, are: • Phase 1—Starting on December 21, 2016, regulated entities that are required to submit Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) will begin submitting these reports electronically. if you are currently reporting your DIVIR data electronically using eDMR then you simply need to continue; reporting in the same way as you are now. The key change is that, starting on December 21, 2016, electronic reporting of CMRs will be required, instead of voluntary. • Phase 2 —Starting on December 21, 2020, regulated entities that are required to submit certain other NPDES reports will begin': sub nitting these reports electronically. Reports covered ill the second phase include Notices of Intent to discharge in compliance with an NPDES general permit, Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports, and a number of other NPDES program reports. Incorporating Electronic Reporting Requirements into NPDES Permits The NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule requires authorized NPDES programs to incorporate electronic reporting requirements into NPDES permits beginning December 21, 2015. Under the new rule, the electronic reporting process supersedes the paper reporting process. According to our files, your NPDES permit became effective after November 2013, and should contain the requirement to electronically report your Discharge Monitoring Reports using NC DWR's eDMR system. State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I water Resources 1617 Mail Service Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 In addition to requiring permitt es to report information electronically, the PA to be the initial recipient for the following NPDES d rr :es of Intent to discharge (N is); Notices of Terminatio :s; and Reports toot will be available as well.

The waste carbon is extracted through an extraction port that is connected to the top of the Carbon canister to allow for easy extraction of the spent Carbon. The system is set up as an in -line two canister system which allows one tank to perform extraction of solids and the second tank to act as a polishing tank. The system is reversible to allow for the tanks to be reversed to allow for extraction of the spent Carbon in the lead tank making the second tank the primary tank. The system has sample ports that allow for mid -point sampling which helps with monitoring breakthrough of constituents in the activated Carbon in the vessels. A copy of the spent Carbo Manifest was provided to see the spent Carbon was being properly disposed of by Evoqua and a copy of the 10/28/2015 manifest was provided. The files were up to date and in order. Samples are able to be extracted at the mid -point of the in -line tanks and at the end of the treatment. Because the travel distance of the system drain line, we were not able to view out -flow that empties into the n-named tributary to Klein's Creek, Gaway Villaae On January 27, 2016 during inspection, NCDEQ requested linear -footage of piping system.

Conimliance History — The facility had four limit violations for 1,2-cis-dichloro-ethylene [permit limit is 4.9 gig/L] which included one monthly and one daily in February 2012 and April 2014. For 1,2-cis-dichloro- ethylene the human health standard is 720 4g/L and the water supply standard is 60 4g/L The stream is an unnamed tributary that is considered to have a 7QI0 of zero. The stream is classified C waters; therefore, the human health standard is applicable. The previous permit limit [4.9 gg/L] was more restrictive than the applicable human health. For Renewal — This permit reflects discharge at Outiall 001. DWR updated the following: • for Oil & Grease [00556] remains the same for submitting DMR/eDMR, but uses test EPA method 1664 (SGT-HEM) with results in mg/L for Outfalls 006 & 007 • added Electronic Reporting - Discharge Monitoring Reports page Section A.

Strearn — Discharge from WWTP for Outfall 001 is into an unnamed tributary to Irwin Creek [Stream Segment 11-137-11. The segment is listed as "impaired" for Hg in Fish tissue, poor fish community, Zn, Pb and Cu in the 2014 North, Carolina Integrated report and 303(d) list. RPA — A Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) was conducted on copper, lead, zinc, iron, tetrachloroethene, 1, 2-cis-dichloroethene, chloroform, trichloroethene and 1,2-dichloroethane because Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) reported concentration above method -detection levels (MDLs) for the past three years and one month (37 months) [Jan`22012-F62015] of data. [See attached RPA summary sheets.] * 1, 2-cis-dichloroethene limit was removed because the RPA did not show reasonable potential to exceed the human health standard (HH) of 720 Itg& * Tetrachloroethene (PCE) showed reasonable potential to exceed the human health standard of limit (HH) of 3.3 lig1L.

MACTEC Engineering and Consulting, Inc. (MACTEC) on behalf of Gateway is submitting this letter in response to the referenced Notice of Violation concerning the recently completed vy "A"Wukr, %_Vulity Water Quality Protection as the designee of the Division of Water Quality. The inspection identified two issues deemed to be critical. The first of these involves the lack of filing of Discharge Monitoring Reports and the completed Aquatic Toxicology forms with the state. These forms have been completed by the operator in accordance with the perntit, however since there had not been any flow, the forms were mistakenly not submitted to the state, The completed forms, both the DMR k and the AT- I will be sent out under separate transmittal within 5-days of this correspondence, The second issue involves the flow monitoring provision cited in the inspection report. The system has a flow totalizer that includes an instantaneous flow indicator. Instantaneous flow rate is obtainable by timing the flow rate (in gallons) as indicated on the meter, This method of monitoring is more than adequate and in complete compliance with the method specified in our permit application.

It should be noted that this was the first notification of the lack of reporting or any civil penalties assessed by the State on this project to anyone within the MACTEC organization other than Mr. Bruce Reilly. MACTEC immediately set up a meeting with our client to discuss the situation and evaluate our options. MACTEC also contacted Mr, Kevin Bowden of the Environmental Services Branch for clarification of the letter, Mr. Bowden indicated that toxicity self - monitoring reports had been received by the Branch through January 2003 but that there had been no toxicity self -monitoring reporting forms received for April 2003 or Jul), 2003� Mr, Bowden stated that he had contacted Mr. Reilly on several occasions about delinquent reports. Mr. Bowden also indicated that DMR's had not been submitted to the State for the same time period. After reviewing our project files, it was determined that monitoring activities of the treatment system had been conducted on a routine> basis as stipulated in the permit. No sampling was performed because there was no flow through the system in 2003 (other than in early June). Based on discussions with our client, Charlotte Gateway Village, LLC, our Mr. Bruce Reilly and Mr. Kevin Bow,den of the Environmental Services Branch, MACTEC, with our client's approval, has developed a plan to mitigate the non-compliance issues. Mr. Bruce Reilly has been removed as manager for the Gateway Village project. Currently, Mr. Chris Corbin, P.G., the environmental busines,, unit leader for the Charlotte office, will assume the role of project manager. Mr. Corbin, will be assisted by Mr. Matt Gustis, P.E., a Senior Engineer with MAL T who has experience with treatment systems. Sampling (if necessary) and monitoring (if' the treatment systern will be conducted in accordance kvuh the NPDES permit by Mr. Jot, Vickers of our firm. Since MACTEC became aware of the Notice of Violation and Assessment of Civil Penalties on August 22, 2003. we submitted to the Division of Water Quality on August 28, 2003, all delinquent DMR's since February 2003 and toxicity self -monitoring report forms for April and Julv 2003, Although the civil penalties have been levied against Charlotte Gateway Village, Ll_C. it is MACTEC's responsibility to submit the required documentation (DMR's and toxicity self -monitoring reports) to the Division of 'Kater Quality and therefore MACTEC is responsible for civil penalties levied against our client related to these reporting issues. The issue of non- respon4iN.cness is also the responsibility of MACTEC, not our client. the responsibility of MACTEC to remedy, we have taken - the following actions-, • Mr. Bruce Reillv has been removed from responsible charge of all current projects involving the submission of toxicity self -monitoring report forms. • MACTEC will review our internal quality control procedures to determine the evident failure of our responsibilities. • Clear, concise lines of communication have been established with our client to respond better to their needs, Multiple contacts, including the office manager, will be provided, 'age 3 A review of other similar projects under the direction of 'Mr. Reilly ' ''�, that this is the accepted "culture'* of our firm, but rather a one-time evident failure of one of our Principals to perform his contractual obligations to our client and our professional responsibilities to the State of North Carolina. Fortunately, no toxicity limits were exceeded resulting in adverse impacts to the environment since there has been no groundwater flow through the system. To our knowledge, this is the first incident where MACTEC, formerly known as Law Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc., has failed to perform our contractual obligations which have resulted in a civil penalty assessment by the Division of Water Quality for non -reporting of results. MACTEC has performed these types of professional environmental services for over 20 years. Therefore. we respectfully request that you rescind the civil penalty that has been levied against our client, We request a meeting at your convenience to further discuss the issues and corrective actions associated with this project. MACTEC understands the seriou-,ness of these civil penalties and is committed to working diligently to make sure that non-cornpliance of the permit does not occur in the future.

(MACTEC), on behalf of Childress Klein Properties (our client, aka First Union Commons) in response to a Notice of Violation and Assessment of Civil Penalties assessed against First Union Commons for violations of reporting requirements associated with NPDES Permit No. NCO086886, In your letter, dated August 19, 2003 and received by First Union Commons on August 22, 2003, you indicate that the civil penalty assessment of $10,000 is for not submitting toxicity self -monitoring report forms for June 2003 to the Environmental Sciences Branch of the Division of Water Quality, after receiving Notices of Violation for failing to submit toxicity self -monitoring report forms in April and May 2003, A previous Notice of Violation and Civil Penalty Assessment of $4,000 was also levied to First Union Commons by the Division of Water Quality for failing to submit ithe required reporting documentation in October through December 2002 and March 2003, This civil penalty was paid by MACTEC and submitted to the Division of Water Quality on August 29, 2003 via certified mail. This letter provides a brief explanation of the events which resulted in the issuance of several avOvs and ultiniately two civil penalty assessments and our plans to correct these non- compliance issues. Presently, MACTEC's environmental services are, limited to monitoring and reporting requirements in accordance with the NPDES permit for the facility. This project has been managed by Mr. Bruce Reilly, a Principal Engineer within our firm. When the civil penalty letter was received by First Union Commons on August 22, 2003, Mr, Bruce Reilly was contacted by our client on August 25, 2003 asking for an explanation. Mr. Bruce Reilly then notified his supervisor, who in turn notified the Charlotte office manager, Mr. Mark Smith, It should be noted that this was the first notification of the lack of reporting or any civil penalties assessed by the State on this prqject to anyone within the MACTEC organization other than Mr. Bruce Reilly. Mr. Mark Srnitb then contacted our client to set up a meeting to discuss the situation and evaluate our options. Mr. Mark Smith and Mr. Chris Corbits met with Mr. Jim Patterson and Mr. Gary Smith of Childress Klein Properties on August 27, 2003. MACTEC also contacted Mr, Kevin Bowden of the Environmental Services Branch for clarification of the letter, Mr. Bowden indicated that toxicity self -monitoring reports had been MACTEC Engineering and Consulting 2801 Yorkmont Road, Suite 103.

Since MACTEC became aware of the Notice of Violation and Assessment of Civil Penalties on August 25. 2003, we initially submitted to the Division of Water Quality on August 28, 2003, the most recent DMR (July 2003) and the toxicity self -monitoring report form for June 2003. The remaining delinquent reporting forms were submitted during the week of September 1, 2003, Although the< civil penalties have been levied against First Union Commons, it is MACTEC's responsibility to submit the required documentation (DMR's and toxicity self -monitoring reports) to the Division of Water Quality and therefore MACTEC is responsible for civil penalties levied against our client related to these reporting issues. The issue of non -responsiveness is also the responsibility of MACTEC, not our client. Based on the seriousness of the accepted violations and penalties assessed, which will be wholly the responsibility of MACTEC to remedy, we have taken the following actions: • Mr. Bruce Reilly has been removed from responsible charge of all current projects involving the submission of toxicity self -monitoring report forms, • MACTEC will review our internal quality control procedures to determine the evident failure of our responsibilities. • Clear. concise lines of communication have been established with our client to respond better to their needs. Multiple contacts, including thy:. -office manager, will be provided, • A review of other similar projects, under the direction of Mr. Reilly will be performed to assure that the projects are in compliance with applicable State and Federal guidelines and permit requirements. MACTEC apologizes for our disregard of our responsibilities on this project. We do not believe that this is the accepted "culture" of our firm, but rather a one-time evident failure of one of our Principals to perform his contractual obligations to our client and our professional responsibilities to the State of North Carolina. To our knowledge, this is the first incident where MACTEC, C first Union Commons Treatment Fac ihts Charlotte, North Carolina September 15, 2003 attu cctrr cAIVU MAIVIIN UNIS Idtru wscrt tilts project, MACTEC understands the seriousness of these civil penalties and is committed to working diligently to make sure that non-compliance of the permit does not occur in the future.

'ORDS/REPORTS: a 10 111(11 A records, and maintenance logs were readily available and in proper order. FACILITY SITE REVIEW: The facility is permitted to discharge to the municipal storm, water collection system which discharges to Irwin Creek, a Class C water in the Catawba River Basin. All of the major components of the facility were in service but not operating at the time of inspection. When Gateway Village was developed, slurry walls were installed around the perimeter of the complex. These slurry walls have effectively prohibited groundwater from rising to the level required for system operations. The system had not discharged except during a 7-month period in 2002. An improperly maintained grease trap at a Chic-Fil-A restaurant caused the discharge in 2002. The vent line for the grease trap was erroneously tied to the vent line serving the ground water rernediation system. When the grease trap began overflowing, it backed into the vent line, which discharged directly to the recovery well. This discharge caused numerous consecutive chronic toxicity failures until the problem was identified and repaired, FLOW MEASURMENT: Flow measurement is accomplished using a continuous recording flow meter, which was installed new in May 2001. This method is acceptable per permit requirements. By regulation, flow meters must be calibrated at least once annually. There was no calibration record available at the time of inspection. Rating: Mar gfinal _ LABORATORY: Prism Laboratories, Inc. and ETT Environmental perform analysis of effluent samples. Prism Laboratories and ETT Environmental, Inc. are certified by the State of North Carolina to perform analysis on all parameters specified in the permit. Prism Laboratories and ETT Environmental were not evaluated during this inspection. EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS: The facility is permitted to discharge to the municipal storm sewer systeni, which conveys the effluent to Irwin Creek. The facility was not discharging at the time of inspection. SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM: Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period January 2002 through March 2003. The reports indicate that the facility was in compliance with permit effluent limits and monitoring requirements during this period, except for the following: I . Effluent Tetrachloroethene (TCE) was only measured once per month in the months of May, July, September, October and November of 2002. This constitutes five (5) failures to monitor for effluent TCE in violation of twice monthly monitoring requirements. This oversight occurred because the CRC was not aware of the twice -monthly monitoring requirement. 2. Effluent flow is not recorded as an instantaneous measurement. Part 11, Section A(7)(b) indicates that an "instantaneous flow measurement is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling". This means that the grab samples and flow must be measured concurrently. Facility effluent has not passed a chronic toxicity test during the review period. The facility ©RC has conducted tests every month, but the system has not discharged since November 2002 (see Facility Site Review heading, paragraph 2, sentence 2 for explanation). Rating: Unsatisfactory ' OPERATIONS <AND MAINTENANCE: The facility and site appear to be adequately maintained. The current overall operating strategy of the site operator appears acceptable for the size and type of the facility. N March andy Miller ns Real Estate Corp. �.

The daily maximum TSS limit will be set at 45 mg/ L. The limit for Tetrachloroethene shall remain at 8.85 ug/L. However, the limit will be implemented as a weekly average. The linut is based on the EPA Criteria for this pollutant of concern and the carcinogenicity risk based on a life time exposure. Since the limit is based on a life time exposure the weekly average limit is appropriate. Limits for carciogens are determined using a mass balance approach with the mean annual average flow. However, since this discharge is to a stormdrain the mean annual average flow cannot be determined with the available information. The Division's policy is to treat storindrains as zero flow streams with a average flow of zero. Using an assumed average flow of zero the limit is set at the criteria of 8.85 ug/ L. The sample type for TSS and Toxicity shall be modified to composite. The permitted flow rate is 50,000 gpd. DWQ policy states that for permitted flows greater than 30,000 gpd samples shall be composite. Though the facilities actual flows have never exceeded 0.023 MsGD unless the facility request a pern-dt flow reduction to <= 30,000 gpd, composite samples shall be required, Proposed Schedule for Permit Issuance Draft Permit to Public Notice: December 13, 2000.
