(Aqua) offers the following response to the items outlined in the above - referenced Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report which was issued for the inspection conducted on September 25, 2019: Flow Measurement Effluent Section The V-notch weir angle was measured at approximately 83 degrees during the inspection, however, the flow meter was programmed to measure flows for a 90-degree v-notch weir, The Permittee must contract a third party experienced in flow meter calibrations to verify the V-notch weir angle and the calibration procedures. Auuals Restionse: The flow meter was calibrated by Mr. Thurman Home of Horizon Engineering in 2017. Attached is the inspection report indicating the weir to be a 90-degree v-notch. Additionally, Clearwater, Inc, installed the new flow meter and 2017 and performed a calibration at that time. A copy of their report is attached as well. The weir in both calibrations was deemed to be a 90-degree V-notch. No changes have been made since the third party calibrations were completed. Bar Screens The old coarse bar screen had partially separated from the WWTP structure and was being held in place with a rope. The old bar screen should be removed as soon as possible to prevent this structure from breaking off into the aeration basin and potentially damaging the aeration system. Agyj!§ Response. The old bar screen will be removed no later than November 15, 2019. Please note a new bar screen had been installed prior to the inspection. An Aqua America Company 11, Meter, A.

NPDES Electronic Reporting Requirements Willowbrook Subdivision WWTP NPDES Permit Number: NCO07 5S Gear NPDES Permittee: 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 clues not change what information is required from facilities. It only changes the method by which information is provided (.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 1Starting can 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 DMR 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 DMRs will be required, instead of voluntary. • Phase 2 -- Starting on December 21, 20*20, regulated entities that are required to submit certain x other NPDES reports will begin submitting these reports electronically. Reports covered in the second phase include Notices of intent to discharge in compliance with an NPDES general permit, Sewer OverflowBypass'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 l WR"s eDMR system.

The I MRs indicate that the facility was in compliance with permit monitoring requirements and discharge limits during the review period, except for the following. 1. Effluent NH3 as N was not collected during the week ofNovember 11, 2002. This constitutes one (1) failure to monitor effluent NH3 as N*. Violation noted in the last compliance evaluation inspection dated April 7, 2002. OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE: The facility and grounds appeared to be properly operated and maintained. The current overall operating strategy appears acceptable for the size and type of the facility. All field instruments are calibrated each time before use. SLUDGE ISPSAL.

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 waters must be reported. SEWERER LOW (continued): An adequate spill response for these spills reaching surface waters should include an evaluation downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if fish kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen and ply measurements for background information and dissolvedoxygen and p measurements at multiple paints 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 ul to $25,000.00 per day per violation. WA Michael F.

As requested a response is provided for findings noted under the Self Monitoring Program section of the report. According to the facility" s NPDES permit, during the summer months (April I — October 3 1) the facility is required to monitor for N113 as N 2/month. However, during the winter months (November 1. — March 3 1) the facility is required to monitor for NH3 as N weekly. The failure to monitor for W3 during the week of November 11, 2002 was an oversight of the change in sampling ftequency requirement changes that occur during November. The error was noted the following week, however it was too late to accommodate the required sampling trequency. Every effort will be made in the future to eliminate errors of this nature.

The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the Slate, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation: No harm has been measured or quantified; however, failure ofa facility to meet NPDES permit requirements can impact the waters of the State by causing violations of water quality standards d criteria which are established to protect aquatic life 'and the designated uses cif"the receiving stream (i e., recreation, agriculture, water supply, etc.). ,. The duration and gravity of the violation: The facility Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted on June 28, 2001 includes a review of discharge monitoring reports for the period April 2000 through" March 2001 Numerous permit limit and monitoring requirement violations were noted during this twelve month period. The nature of the violations indicate a disregard for permit terms d conditions. . The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality: Permit exceedances and failures to report may have caused temporary impairment of the waterways intended uses, however, no water samples were collected, and any detrimental effect is difficult to quantify. It is unlikely that the violations would have an effect on either groundwater quality or quantity or on air quality. 4. The cost of rectifying the damage: No environmental damage has been established.' Enforcement Case Assessment Factors AquaSource, Inc. Pale Two . The amount of money saved by noncompliance: There is no evidence that any money was saved by non-compliance; however, the fact that grab samples were collected for BO ., NH -N, and TSl , rather than the required flow proportional composite samples, suggests that no automatic composite sampler was available for at least the 12-month period under review. Can only one (8/00) of the DM 's is a comment regarding vandalism of the sampler. Regardless of the alleged vandalism on the facility's Flow meter and composite sampler, they could have been repaired/ replaced in a more timely manner. Since an operator is required to be on -site slily, flaws could have been estimated and grab composites could have been collected. n. Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally: There is no evidence that violations were willful or intentional. However, the NPDES permit clearly specifies the terms, conditions and requirements of the permit, A decision had to be made regarding, the need to provide more security for the facility and whether to estimate flows and collect grab composite samples. 7.

The facility was last inspected by MCDEP on January 21, 2000. A Notice of Deficiency/CoMpliance Evaluation Inspection Report was issued, can February 2000. PERMIT: The current permit became effective on February 1. 2 01, and expires on November 30, 200 . The facility operated under the previous permit, which expired on September 30, 1999, while the permit renewal application was being processed by the Division of Water Quality. The treatment system consists of an extended aeration package treatment plant with bar screen, aeration basin. rectangular clarifier, aerobic digester, effluent tablet chlorination, chlorine contact basin, and effluent continuous recording flow measurement, which is consistent with the current permit. The facility is permitted to discharge 0.048 MGI .. RECORDS/REPORTS: The ORC maintains daily logs and records/reports relative to self -monitoring. maintenance, calibration and process control. Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's) were reviewed for the period April 2000 through Match 2001. The reports indicate that the facility was in noncompliance with permit effluent limits and monitoring, frequency requirements on numerous occasions during the review period. Can the DtvlR's, the GIC incorrectly checked that the treatment plant was compliant for the months of April, May, June, July, September, October and November of 2000; and Feb d March of2001. w ? 's were not properly completed for the months ofJanuary through March 2001; it was not noted whether samples taken were grab or composite. Monitoring .Reports for upstream/downstream mo `to ' ` g were not available for the month of October 2000. Monitoring Reports for upstream/downstream monitorin requirements in the month of January 2001 did not include results from bacteria sampling or specific conductance. RATING: Unsatisfactory FACILITY SITE 'IEVI: The 0.048 MGD facility consists of an extended aeration package treatment plant with bar screen, aeration basin, rectangular clarifier, aerobic digester, effluent tablet chlorination, ,chlorine contact basin, and effluent continuous recording flow measurement. FACILITY SITE REVIEW (continued The facility discharges to Ramah Greg, which is a Class "C" water in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. Facility personnel stated that the continuous flow meter had been the target of repeated vandalism while under contract by EnviroClear. No vandalism has been reported since A.quaSource canceled EnviroClear's contract in January of 2001. All of the existing components of the facility were in service and appeared to be operating properly at the time of the inspection. FLOW MEASUREMENT: Flow measurement is accomplished using a V-notch weir as the primary device and a totalizer/continuous recording ISCO 3230 Ultrasonic flow meter for secondary flaw measurement and'recording. The flow meter was last calibrated on November i, 20t}(7: LABORATORY: Analysis of effluent samples is performed by AquaSource, Inc. (North Carolina Certification 4365). The laboratory", which was previously named Precise Analytical, Inc., was not evaluated durin2 this inspection.. EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS; The effluent was clear and did not appear to have a detrimental effect on the receiving stream at the time of the inspection. RATING: Marginal due to the permit effluent limit violations rioted under the elf- Monito ' c, heading — SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM: Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's) were reviewed for the period April 2000 through March 2001. The reports indicate that the facility° was in noncompliance with permit effluent limits and monitoring requirements during the review period as follows: 1. Five (5) Fecal Coliform exceedances in violation of the daily maximum permit effluent limit were noted. These occurred on April 12, June 29, July 13, August 24, d October 12 of 200 x h SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM: (continued) One (1) Total Suspended Residue (TSR) exceedance in violation of the daily ` maximum permit effluent limit occurred on August 24, 2000. 2. One effluent Dissolved Oxygen (DO) exceedance occurred on December 21, 2000 in Violation of permit effluent limits. 4. Effluent flow was not reported daily for the month of April 2000. This constitutes thirty (0) failures to monitor for effluent flow. . Effluent flog was not reported daily for the month of May 2000.

Effluent flow was not reported daily for the month of February 2001. This constitutes eight () failures to monitor for effluent flaw. 13. Effluent flow was not reported daily for the month of :March 2000. This constitutes mine () failures to monitor for effluent flow. 1. Effluent Total Suspended Residue (TSR) was incorrectly sampled (grab rather than composites pies) during the review period from. April 2000 until March 2001. This constitutes fifty two (2) permit violations for failure to collect composite samples to analyze for effluent TSR. SELF -MONITORING PRO M (continued): 15., Effluent Nitrogen as NH3 was incorrectly sampled (grab rather than composite samples) during the review period from April 2000 until March.. 2001. This constitutes twenty-nine (29) permit violations for failure to collect composite samples to analyze for effluent NH3. 16. Effluent Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD,) was incorrectly sampled (grab ranter than composite samples) during the review period from April 2000 until March 2001. This constitutes fifty-two (52) permit violations for failure to collect composite samples to analyze for effluent BOD., Contrary to the er it re uire e t, gyrab samples are beinLy collected rather than flow - proportional cc Rosit sam les. Unless a permit modification is approved by the Division of Water Quality, all composite samples must be collected proportional to the rate of flour. If approval to collect composite samples using a constant volume/constant time method is desired, a request for approval should be sent to the Mooresville Regional Office. and must include the follow{in: A description of the flow measurement device used at the facility. - A representative sample of one week's flow data, including copies of supporting chart recordinus. A description of the sampling method proposed for use at the facility (i.e., constant time/constant volume or grab). - A description of any flow equalization used at the treatment facility. - A description of the treatment process. 17.

This constitutes five (5) permit violations for failure to monitor downstream temperature. 24. Upstream Temperature was not reported for the month of October 2000 or the first week of January 2001. This constitutes five (5) permit violations for failure to monitor upstream temperature. 25. Effluent pH was not reported for the week of January 1-7, 2001, in violation of permit weekly monitorin,,,, requirements. This constitutes one (1) failure to monitor for effluent pH. RATING: Unsatisfactory due to the above mentioned effluent limit and monitoring violations. OPERATIONS & NLAINTENANCEO The facility is scheduled for daily visits by the ORC. Facility grounds are well maintained. Upstream and downstream moniturine locations are well maintained. There are stumps and woody debris in the stream immediately downstream of the effluent pipe that need to be removed. The preventive maintenance prograin is established and adequate for the facility. Sludge is removed from the digester and taken off site by pump and haul methods, Sludg.- is hauled by Piedmont Septic Company and is disposed of at the To of Salisbury. Piedmont Septic Company was not evaluated under this inspection. SEWER OVERFLOW: Please be advised that pursuant to Part 11, Section E of your NPDES permit, and North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection system, pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion of the wastewater shall be reported to the central office or the appropriate regional office (Mooresville Regional Office 704-663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the permittee became aware of the bypass. For spills/bypasses which occur in Mecklenburg County, it is requested that MCDEP be notified at 704/336-5500, Spills occurring on week -ends or holidays cattbe reported by calling the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management at 800-662-7956, 800-858-03 :�68, ol 9-733-3300. 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 (i.e. any spill that reaches any water already present in a convey ance, stream. ditch, etc...) or any spill greater than 1,000 gallons on the around 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 emny 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. 1 ` ' 107 Commercial Park Drive 704-786-8497 Concord, NC 28027 704-788-6006 (fax) A DQE Company AuL,ust 10, 2001 rrt.

N.0 N'LA OVE TIGHT MAIL Dear Mr. Bridueman: This letter is in response to the Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted on .tune 28, 2001, report date of July 23, 2001, at the above referenced facility. As per your request this response will address issues noted under the Records..'Reports, Effluent/'deceiving 'aters and Self Monitorim-, Pro -arn headings of the report. s you may be mare, key personnel changes have recently occurred in our Concord office. Mr. Austin Metre eon has joined tyre concord staff as Project Manager replacing Leonard Sto ner, and Mr. Kevin Curl is the new Facility Super\,isor, Several steps have already been taken to address issues such as those noted in the report. Evaluation of facility operations is currently underway andire have already implemented procedures to assist in reef in, regulatory requirements and improve overall facility operation. Records/Reports As you are aware, until mid lanuan, of 001 AquaSource subcontracted the operation and maintenance responsibilities including preparation of monthly reports of this facilltv to Ens iroclear, Mr, D.C. Coffee CRC, due to Ens=Firoclear's failure to properly execute its duties and operation of facilities, consistent Nvith AquaSource's policies and procedures, all contracts -with Enviroclear were terminated. AquaSource took over direct control o on going operations and maintenance for the facilities including the Willowbrook ft AquaSource rce A DQECompany' . : o V'WTP. in mid January 2001. As such, Aquaource is hesitannl to off�r.cQinment } re-ardin- errors and/or violations that occurred prior to that time. � �u A strict method of validating or double-checking DMR reports is being; implemented to ensure that the reports are properly completed prior to submittal. These validation procedures are designed to address areas of concern such as those noted in the report Y ret-,ardino indication of _grab or composite samples and proper determination of facility compliance. In addition, training; has been scheduled for the week of August '? 7"' for all staff members involved with facility operations, maintenance, records and reports. i-,rificart time is being dedicated to ensure proper preparation of DMR reports. Monitorin<a records for upstrearn/downstrean monitoring are available for the month of October 600 and are attached for your review. Per the request of Mr. Jay Wilson, AquaSource faxed a copy of the DMR reports for the review period to his attention at the .Mecklenburg, County Health Department. The records in question may have been lostor omitted from; the transmission. The omission of upstream/downstreatt results for bacteria and specific conductance sar-tpling for the January 2001 monitoring period was sampling error than occurred dur irk; the transition of operations from Enviroclear to AquaSource, Effluent/ReceivingEffluent/Receiving NVaters s previously mentioned, evaluation of facility operations is currently underway and will continue to ensure facility compliance. Several procedures have already been implemented to assist in meciffig regulatory requirements and improve overall facility operation. A revie-w of operational strategies is also being conducted to assist in improving effluent quality and eliminate effluent violations. elf-. onitorincr Proararn As previously mentioned, until mid January of 2001 AquaSource subcontracted the operation and maintenance responsibilities of this facility to Enviroclear, Mr, D.C. Coffey:. ORC. As such. AquaSource is hesitant to offer comments regarding errors and/or violations that occurred up to the second week in January 2001. As past of the facility evaluation training is being conducted in several areas of facility ope at on inciudinl� proper sampling technique and proper operation and maintenance activities. Reg°:.tring the missed flow readings, it should be noted that historically the continuous slow meter has been the target of repeated vandalism contributing to the flow monitoring AquaSource A DQECompany violations. The missed flow readings beginning the second weep in January and missed readin<(s in February occurred on weekend days. The facility pert -nit requires that the eertified operator visit the facility at least daily, excluding weekends and holidays. As such it was understood that omitting the flow readings for week -ends and holidays was acceptable practice. However, flow readings are now being reported by using the total flow over the wee end and calculating an average flow reported for each weekend day. Effective in February ' 001 `?4 hour flow proportional composite samples were collected for TSR, BOD and ,. Copies of the operator's field bench sheets for February and March are attached docurnentiny a start and strip time of sample collection along with the date of sample collection indicating compositesample collection. Documentation of both the start and finish date rather than just the collection date is now being including in the documentation As previously mentioned, monitoring records for upstream/downstream monitoring are available for the month of October 2000 and are attached for vour review. Operation of the Willowbrook facility by Fnviroclear was not consistent with AquaSource policies and procedures anti as such. AquaSource canceled'Enviroclear' contact, Procedures are being; implemented and training is being, conducted to improve the over-all facility operation and 'maintain effluent quality. " Staff from our Regional office in Sarasota, Florida will be onsit the'vveck ofAtiaust 2 7Ih to assist with additional training. .An opportunity to meet with you at that time to further discuss these issues and/or any related issues regarding AquaSource facilities would be greatly appreciated.

NATURAL RESK-MRCES Compliance Evaluation Inspection mOORESVILLE REGIONAL IC Willowbrook Subdivision WWTP DES Permit ## NCO07353 Mecklenburg County, N.0 VIA OVERNIGHT MAIL Dear Mr. ridgeman: This letter is in response to the 'Compliance Evaluation Inspection conducted on December 20, 2001, report date of January 16, 2002, at the above referenced facility. As per your request this response will address issues noted under the Records/Reports and Self -Monitoring Program headings of the report. As noted in the Compliance Inspection report, many of the issues listed were noted in the previous inspection conducted at the facility on June 28, 2001, report of July 23, 2001. As no new information is available regarding the issues, comments provided for those items may by necessity duplicate the response submitted to the Department addressing the June inspection. Records/Report As you are aware, until mid January of 2001 AquaSource subcontracted the operation and maintenance responsibilities including preparation of monthly reports of this facility to Envirocle _, Mr. D.C. Coffey ORC. Due to Enviroclear's failure to properly execute its duties and operation of facilities, consistent with gaSource's policies and procedures, all contracts' with Enviroclear were terminated. AquaSource took over direct control of on going operations and maintenance for the facilities including the Willowbrook WWTP, in mid January 2001. As such, AquaSource is hesitant to offer comments regarding errors and/or violations that occurred prior to that time. All other violations not under the Self Monitoring Program heading of the report occurred during the time operation of the facility was subcontracted to Enviroclear. As such, AquaSource is hesitant to offer comments regarding violations that occurred during that time. As previously mentioned, comprehensive training was conducted on August 28'h for all staff members involved with facility operations, maintenance, records and reports. Training needs are continuously evaluated and a one-on-one approach is taken as needed to ensure each operator clearly understands operational duties and responsibilities. As such we have noted substantial improvement in all areas of facility operations.

Chlorine demand varies with the wastewater flow, and flows diurnally. Thus, the systems must be able to adjust the chlorine feed rate in order to both mee, varying chlorine demand and stay within their operating bounds. The proposed liquid feed systems (to not appear to have flow -proportional controls. The feed pu are manually adjustable; however, given the especially wide flow swings typical in small plants the fact that the treatment plants are not staffed around the clock, manual control of chlorine do is not an acceptable alternative. Dosages in the chlorine tablet systems are reasonably flow proportional in that the rate at whict tablets dissolve depends on the rate of wastewater flow, The existing tablet systems are perfort � Ul�' 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Telephone (919) 733-5083 FAX (919) 733-0719 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer On the Internet at http://h2o.enr,state.nc.us/NPDES Rayco Utilities, Inc.

These improvements are proposed as an effort to provide a more consistent, effective and reliable means to assure adequate chlorine disinfection. Whereas there is an adequate existing chlorine contact basin that is very suitable for this purpose, this should be relatively simple and hence these flans are rather brief: This facility is presently equipped with a tablet chlorine system We request permission to replace this system with a simple liquid chlorine feed system. Therefore, we propose to install a ;liquid feed chlorination system as shown on the attached plan. This will be easy to accomplish by;installin�=, a small, adjustable feed rate, chemical feed porn which will pump trout small (30 gallon) chlorin storagelnaaake up tank into the influent of trio existing chlorine contact basin. The feed pump and storage/make up tank will be inside an enclosure to protect from weather. The entire assembly will be mounted on a treated wood latform located adjacent to the chlorine contact basin. This should provide a much more reliable and accurate means of insuring reliable; and complete disinfection, and should be relatively simile to install and operate. We are submitting this to you as a request for authorization to construct, e took forward to completing these proposed improvements and will appreciate your earliest response.

The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violations: No harm has been measured or quantified. NPDES Permit limit violations can harm the designated uses of the receiving stream or lake (i.e., recreation, agriculture, water supply, eflic.) and can risk water quality standard and criterion excursions which are established to protect the designated uses of the waters of the State. Elevated Total Suspended Residue levels in the receiving stream can increase the oxygen demand and negatively impact aquatic life in the stream. Effluent Fecal Coliform levels in excess of the surface water standards set to protect human health can directly effect humans and wildlife which may contact the receiving stream. 2. The duration and gravity of the violations: The nine (9) effluent permit limit violations occurred during the period from August 1997 through July 1998. Three (3) of the violations were Technical Review Criteria violations. 4e forty-three (43) monitoring frequency violations occurred during August and October 197 and January through July 1998. he effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality: to effects have been measured.

We apologize for this oversight. With regards to the failure to report the specified data for the month of July, we must explain that EWS was a victim of an employe e who suddenly, and without warning, apparently chose to quit and abandon the assigned responsibilities at this plant. EWS was not advised of his intentions to quit and have not been able to locate him since. In fact, he has never collected final wages due, When EWS became aware that he had disappeared, immediate action was taken to replace him and maintain operations. EWS acted quickly and as best they could not locate the information that you have noticed is )orts. JEWS simply does not have this information ORC to try to get it. there is some that EWS does no • ave. by the totally unexpected failure of these operators. EWS regrets that the missing information for .duly is not available but believes it control. We certainly appreciate the seriousness of the issues involved. We also decision to ggo forward with a recommendation for enforcement.
