Re: Notice of Violation & Intent to Issue Civil Penalty
Tracking No.: NOV-2020-DV-0555
Roanoke Rapids Sanitary District Collection System
Collection System Permit Number: WQCS00027
Halifax County
Dear Mr. Vinson,
Please be advised that ongoing remedial action is being taken to correct the deficiencies
in the collection system contributing to the Sanitary Sewer Overflows in the referenced
NOV received January 21, 2020. Please note each included incident as reported in BIMS,
press releases and corresponding publications, as required and transmitted under separate
cover. The SSOs, except Incident No. 202003306, were located or tributary to Sub -Basin
'A' and occurred during an intense rain event while antecedent conditions had failed to
diminish. Attached is the rain data for and leading up to the event dates.
The District has contracted with Freese and Nichols, Inc. to perform Sub -Basin 'A'
sanitary sewer evaluation using flow meters (installed January 14, 2021) and modeling
with a total cost of $116,895.00. Attached are the Scope of Services to be performed
under RRSD PO #3295 and the current Status Report of the study.
In addition to the work described herein, The District has leveraged nearly seven million
dollars in funding from the Division of Water Infrastructure in the form of loan and
principle forgiveness to complete three separate sewer rehabilitation projects; which have
effectively reduced I&I, as demonstrated by a reduction in effluent flows during incident
events. The attached Wastewater Plant flow data would suggest lower
maximums/minimums with lower corresponding average daily flows coupled with
reduced durations during incident events as contrasted over the period beginning in 2014
through 2020. Notable moderation since the latter part of 2016 can be discerned from the
data. Rainfall recorded at the WWTP is assumed to be representative of upper basin
rainfall, while there has been no reduction in industry demand during the period.

While the civil penalty assessment may be minor with respect to the cost of collection
system work, the penalty will still be funds that the District is unable to utilize to perform
additional and required work to the collection system.
The Roanoke Rapids Sanitary Distiict gratefully appreciates your time and favorable
consideration in this matter. Should you require additional information, please do not
hesitate to contact us.
Very Truly Yours,
R Danieley Brown, P H,
Chief Executive Officer

Wilmington District Water Management Weekly Status Report – 09 Nov 2020

Weather Summary:
Following a dry week with no rainfall at any District projects, several days of substantial rain is expected starting
Tuesday night. A slow moving cold front along with tropical moisture from Tropical Storm Eta is forecast to bring 3-4”
of rainfall through the weekend. [Note: Lake level forecasts provided below do not include the effects of this future
rainfall.] A return to below-normal precip is expected in the 8-14 day outlook. Longer term, the Nov-Dec-Jan outlook
calls for below-normal precip (along with above-normal temps).

Tropical Weather Outlook: Tropical Storm Eta is moving southwesterly into the Gulf after impacting the Florida Keys
over the weekend. A northward turn is expected Tuesday which will slowly bring Eta into northern Florida by this
weekend.

reduced to near minimum ahead of this week’s rain. Flow at Clayton is currently near 525 cfs and slowly falling;
minimum flow target is 184 cfs.

Jordan: Currently near elev 216.2 ft (0.2 ft above guide curve) and steady. Currently releasing 500 cfs. Lillington flow
is currently near 1060 cfs, and Deep River at Moncure is near 368 cfs. Minimum flow target at Lillington is 600+/-50
cfs.

Scott: Currently near elev 1030.2 ft (0.2 ft above guide curve) and steady. Releases are near 910 cfs. Flow at
Wilkesboro is currently near 1280 cfs; minimum flow target is 400 cfs.

Kerr: Currently near elev 300.0 ft (3.0 ft above guide curve) and falling. Lake levels were expected to be near guide
curve by the end of the week without additional rain. Releases from Kerr this week are still running 20,000 cfs with step
downs scheduled to begin Wednesday. Depending on rainfall amounts and resulting inflows, these step downs could
be adjusted and releases next week could be back near 20,000 cfs or possibly higher.

Philpott: Currently near elev 973.2 ft (1.7 ft above guide curve). Sluice gate releases are near 650 cfs and expect to
be maintained through the week. [Hydropower units out of service until further notice.]
Wilmington District Water Management Weekly Status Report – 16 Nov 2020

Weather Summary:
A strong cold front combined with tropical moisture resulted in widespread 3-6” of rain across the District, with even
heavier rainfall amounts across the upper Roanoke and along I-95. Widspread moderate to major river flooding
occurred and is still taking place, especially along the lower Neuse. Dry conditions are expected in the 7-day and 6-10
day outlooks, with near-normal precip in the 8-14 day outlook. Longer term, the Nov-Dec-Jan outlook calls for below-
normal precip (along with above-normal temps).

Tropical Weather Outlook: No tropical cyclone activity of concern at this time.

Falls: Currently near elev 255.65 ft (4.15 ft above guide curve) and near peak. Releases were delayed until late today
(Monday) to allow time for downstream river conditions to improve by the time releases begin reaching the Goldsboro
and Kinston area by the end of the week. A very modest increase in releases to 600 cfs was made late today, with
planned increases to near 4000 cfs by end of the day Tuesday. Flow at Clayton is currently near 1000 cfs and slowly
falling, but will increase in response to releases.

Jordan: Currently near elev 225.6 ft (9.6 ft above guide curve) and at peak. Releases were increased on Sunday to
near 2700 cfs, with additional increases to 5750 cfs by the end of today (Monday). Lillington flow is currently near
13,500 cfs and falling, and Deep River at Moncure is near 5700 cfs and falling.

Scott: Currently near elev 1046.35 ft (16.35 ft above guide curve) and falling from a peak of 1051.72 ft. Releases are
near 3800 cfs. Flow at Wilkesboro is currently near 4080 cfs.

Kerr: Currently near elev 309.6 ft (12.6 ft above guide curve, 9.6 ft into flood pool) and rising. Lake levels are expected
to peak near 310-310.5 by the end of the day Tuesday. Releases from Kerr over the weekend were 25,000 cfs with
releases increasing to 35,000 cfs throughout the day today (Monday). Based on the magnitude of inflows from this
major storm event (2 days over 100,000 cfs), currently anticipate holding 35,000 cfs through mid next week before
beginning a ramp down.

Philpott: Currently near elev 978.7 ft (7.2 ft above guide curve) and falling after a peak of 979.62 ft. Sluice gate
releases were increased to near 2650 cfs today and expect to be maintained through the week. [Hydropower units out
of service until further notice.]

Scope of Services
Wastewater Sub -Basin 'A'
and
Roanoke River Outfall Study — Phase I
Roanoke Rapids Sanitary District
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING:
The Roanoke Rapids Sanitary District (RRSD) owns and operates sanitary wastewater collection system
facilities that serve the City of Roanoke Rapids, the Town of Gaston, parts of Halifax County and some
other surrounding areas. The collection system consists of over 145 miles of sewer pipe ranging in size
from 8" to 30", six lift stations, and one WWTP. The system is divided into 16 sanitary sewer collection
sub -basins. Some of the system has been in place since before 1930.
RRSD has performed previous study and SSES work in Sub -Basin A. The results of the previous study
indicated some level of I/1 in this area, and RRSD has addressed the 1/1 through collection system rehab
and repairs in the sub -basin. However, RRSD is still experiencing high volumes of flow during wet
weather events at the Belmont PS which serves Sub -Basin A. The Belmont PS is a duplex, suction lift
pump station and both pumps are required during rain events. Frequently during weather events when
both pumps operate RRSD has indicated downstream sewer capacity issues, and when both pumps do
not operate in wet weather events the upstream sewer is surcharged and exceeds capacity.
In addition to the capacity issues noted in Sub -Basin A, RRSD has also experienced wet weather capacity
issues in the Roanoke River Outfall which is located downstream of Sub -Basin A and which flows to the
WWTP through a combination of 21" and 30" gravity sewers. The section of the 21' outfall that serves
the paper mill has been known to demonstrate some capacity restraints and posed some backups in the
lateral that serves the paper mill.
As such, RRSD would like to further evaluate the system capacity that serves Sub -Basin A and the
capacity in the Roanoke River Outfall.
BASIC SERVICES:
Based on discussions with the RRSD staff, FNI proposes to provide a phased approach to the collection
system evaluation for Sub -Basin A and the Roanoke River Outfall. The first phase includes a desktop
analysis of the existing system, development of existing sanitary sewer flows, review of previous study
information, and hydraulic modeling to evaluate capacity in these areas. Additional phases to follow
Phase I may include additional flow monitoring and modeling and/or field inspection work dependent
upon results of the Phase I study. A detailed scope of work is provided below for Phase I:
PHASE I — Desktop Capacity Analysis and Modeling
A. Data Collection and Review
Project Kick -Off Meeting: FNI will conduct an initial meeting with RRSD to review proposed scope
of services study approach goals, and deliverables of the study. FNI will provide the RRSD with
a Data Request Memorandum identifying specific data needs.

2. Data Collection: FNI will compile information from RRSD for the wastewater systems including
but not limited to existing studies for the sub -basin, record drawings, mapping, GIS data,
maintenance records, and other documentation pertinent to the study.
Collection System Flow Monitoring: Determine flow monitor locations and coordinate with flow
monitoring subconsultant to install monitors, compile data and use for further analysis. This task
includes an estimated seven (7) flow monitors installed at Sub -Basin A and along the Roanoke
River Outfall for a three month monitoring period.
B. Desktop Analysis
1. Pump Station Capacity: FNI will review existing study information for Sub -Basin A and the
Belmont PS. FNI will also review existing record drawings for the Belmont PS and provide an
assessment of the existing PS available storage and cycle times according to the wet well volume,
and PS design capacity
2. Roanoke River Outfall: FNI will review existing GIS information and record drawings for the
existing Roanoke River Outfall. FNI will also review previous outfall studies and flow monitoring
data, as available, for the outfall pipeline.
C. Existing Sanitary Sewer Flows
1. GIS: Existing GIS data, as available from RRSD, will be used to evaluate existing land use and zoning
for the Sub -Basin A service area as well as other sub -basin areas that dram to the Roanoke River
Outfall.
2. Water Billing Data: FNI will review water meter billing data provided by RRSD and compare water
billing data with flow monitoring data to quantify the existing dry weather flows within the Sub -
Basin A area and other sub -basins that drain to the Roanoke River Outfall.
WWTP Influent Flow: FNI will also review historical influent flows (from June 2018 to current) at
the Roanoke River WWTP to evaluate existing peak wet weather flows compared to existing dry
weather flows and determine an overall system peaking factor.
D. Hydraulic Modeling
1. FNI will build a sewer model of the existing Roanoke River Outfall. The model will be based on
available GIS and record drawing information and will include pipe sizes, pipe and MH invert
elevation data, and MH rim information. The model will include the outfall from the discharge
location of the Highway 48 force main from Gaston and extend to the Roanoke River WWTP
2. The sewer model will include dry weather wastewater loading at key points along the outfall
based on the existing flows developed in Task A3.
3. Model scenarios will evaluate the existing dry weather flows in the Roanoke River Outfall to
assess the current pipe capacity compared with existing dry weather flow

4. A peak wet weather model scenario will be evaluated using estimated peaking factors for each
sub -basin based on available data or using a system -wide peaking factor based on historical
influent flow information from the WWTP.
E. Technical Memorandum Report
1. Prepare Draft Technical Memorandum (TM) Report: FNI will prepare a Draft TM Report
documenting the all the findings from the desktop analysis and modeling completed in Phase I of
the Sub -Basin A and Roanoke River Outfall study. The Draft TM Report will include a description
of the data review, graphical results of desktop study and modeling, and recommendations for
corrective action, if feasible and/or additional field investigations or follow up work to further
investigate capacity restraints in Sub -Basin A and the Belmont PS and within the Roanoke River
Outfall. An electronic PDF version of the report will be submitted for review.
Revise and Finalize Alternatives Analysis Report FNI will revise the report based on RRSD
comments and submit five (5) final hard copies and one electronic copy in PDF format of the Final
Capacity Study Report.
TIME OF COMPLETION:
FNI is authorized to commence work on the Project upon execution of this Agreement and agrees to
complete the services in accordance with the following schedule:
• Complete Phase I —within 180 days from Notice to Proceed
• Phase II —to be determined based on results of Phase I study
COMPENSATION:
The total fee for Basic Services for Phase I shall be the lump sum fee of $116,895.00. The fee includes all
costs associated with labor and reimbursable direct expenses.
