Dear Mr. Braund:
' I
In accordance with your application received on January 7, 2009, and your modification request
received May 11, 2009, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQCS00131', dated May 11, 2009, to The
Town of Lake Lure for the operdtion and maintenance of the subject wastewater collection system.
This permit shall be effective from the effective date of July 1, 2009 until June 30, 2014. This permit shall
be subject to the conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review
this permit. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit
and any compliance schedules shown in bold. Please note conditions 1.13, 11.7, 11.8,111.3, 111.4 V.3,4,5 in
this permit developed specifically for this unique collection system situation at the Town of Lake Lure.
This permit modification revised' condition V, 4.
I
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly installed
system extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a
separately owned sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations,
force mains, low pressure sewer, systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping,
valves and appurtenances,;that help to collect, manage and transport wastewaterto a -wastewater
treatment plant under the Permittee's ownership or maintained and operated by the Permittee through
a perpetual legal agreement. Slatellite systems are systems tributary to the Permittee's collection system
but those collection systems are not owned or maintained by the Permittee. The system description
provided on Page 1 of this pernj it is meant to provide a general idea about the size of the system and
may not be all inclusive of the collection system. at the time of permit issuance or afterward.
A release of wastewater from the wastewater collection system is referred to herein as a Sanitary Sewer
Overflow (SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options after a SSO will be determined considering the
criteria listed in condition 1(2) (a)land 1(2) (b) of the permit and all other relevant information available or
requested of the Permittee.) Compliance with all conditions of the permit as well as all statutes and
regulations pertaining to the collection -.system must:be-maintained or appropriate,enforc_ement;actions
may be taken as noted in Condition VI(2).
A reportable SSO is a SSO greater than 1,000 gallons to the ground or a SSO of any amount that reaches
surface water (including through ditches, storm drains, etc.) Below is the procedure to use for reporting
SSOs to the Division:

your regional DWQ office during regular business hours (Monda) Ito Friday, 8AM to 5PM) as soon
as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours after the SSO is kr bwn or discovered. To report
outside of regular business hours, call [phone].
2. Follow up the verbal report by sending a completed written rep 'rt on the most current Division
approved form within five days.
To provide a uniform method for all systems covered under this permit < pd to provide useful and
consistent information pertaining to SSOs, a new spill reporting form has been developed (October
2003). Form CS-SSO consists of two parts. Part I serves to provide to the I ivision the required information
that has always been necessary. Part II serves as an area to provide a lirstification for the spill, as
optional under Condition 1(2) of your permit. Form CS-SSO can be dow iloaded from
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/peres/Collection%2OSystems/CollectionSyste nsHome.html from the SSO
Reporting area. 1!
An NOV, civil penalty, and/or a moratorium on the addition of waste tc Ithe system may be issued if
adequate justification for an SSO is NOT submitted to the regional offic, In order to submit a claim for
justification of an SSO, you must use the Form CS-SSO with additional di cumentation as necessary.
DWQ staff will review the justification claim and determine if enforcem( ant action is appropriate. Please"
be advised that the information needed to justify a spill is very comprel pensive. Begin using this form
immediately to report SSOs from the collection system_ Continue to us( our old form for reporting
bypasses at the wastewater treatment plant until further notice. The tine frame for submittal of both
Part I and Part II, if pertinent, is five days.
Failure to abide by the conditions in this permit may subject the Permit; die to enforcement action. If any
parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unaccep able, you have the right to
request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty day: following the receipt of this

been wrestling with for the last 30-40 years (ever since

s in identifying and eliminating infiltration sources.
I was very impressed with the impact that the new Town Manager (appointed
February 14) had made in -a very short period of time on collection system
operations. The Town's web site offers anyone interested complete news
regarding both the collection system and wastewater treatment plant.
The. Town has a good collection system map. During the winter all man holes
were located using a GPS unit and an even better map should be available soon.
A GPS based map will give the Town a better handle on the actual length of line
owned. There is some thought that actual line length may be considerably less
than has been accepted historically.
The Town's main influent pump station now appears in its collection system
permit. Since my inspection the Town has ordered an. emergency notification
sign and is updating its{pump station -inspection log to meet permit requirements.
The new Town Man'age�r. has a compliant collection system Capital Improvements
Plan (CIP) preamble and is working on a CIP for all municipal interests including
the collection system. �I
The Town is working on an annual report which probably will cover the collection
system and treatment plant in a single document.
I
The Town contracted line cleaning of both above and below lake gravity line.
Since my last visit the Town cleaned approximately 2,000 feet of underwater line
starting at the base of the dam. The Town inspected approximately 2,700 feet of
underwater line starting at the base of the dam using a closed circuit TV camera.
I feel good about where the Town of Lake Lure is and where it is headed under
the guidance of its new Town Manager in terms of maintenance and operation of
its collection system: 4

Town of Lake Lure
Wastewater Collection System
Rutherford County
In accordance with your application received on January 7, 2009, we are forwarding herewith Permit
No. WQCS00131, dated January 14, 2009, to The Town of Lake Lure for the operation and maintenance
of the subject wastewater toll Iction system.
This permit shall be effective from the effective date of July 1, 2009. until June 30, 2014. This permit shall
be subject to the conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review
this permit. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit
and any compliance schedules shown in bold. Please note conditions 1.13, 11.7, 11.8,111.3, 111.4 V.3,4,5 in
this permit developed specifically for this unique collection system situation at the Town of Lake Lure.
I I
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly installed
system extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a
separately owned sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations,
force mains, low pressure sewersystems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping,
valves and appurtenances,ithat help.to collect, manage and transport wastewater to a wastewater
treatment plant under the Permittee's ownership or maintained. and operated by. the Permittee through
a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite systems are systems tributary to the Permittee's collection system
but those collection systems are not owned or maintained by the Permittee. The system description
provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant to provide a general idea about the size of the system and
may not be all inclusive of the Iollection system at the time of permit issuance or afterward.
A release of wastewater from the wastewater collection system is referred to herein as a Sanitary Sewer
Overflow (SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options after a SSO will be determined considering the
criteria listed in condition 1(2) (a)land 1(2) (b) .of the permit and all other relevant information available or
requested of the Permittee.1 Compliance with all conditions of the permit as well as all statutes and
regulations pertaining to the collection system must be maintained or appropriate enforcement actions
may be taken as noted in Condition VI(2).
A reportable SSO is a SSO greater than 1,000 gallons to the ground or a SSO of any amount that reaches
surface water (including through ditches, storm drains, etc.) Below is the procedure to use for reporting
SSOs to the Division:

This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until June 30, 2009. This permit shall be subject to
the conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this permit. Please
pay particular attention to the imonitoring and reporting requirements in this permit. Please note conditions I.13,
II.7, II.8, III.3, IH.4, and III.S in this permit developed specifically for the unique collection system
situation at the Town of Lake Lure.
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly installed
system extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a separately -owned
sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations, force mains, low pressure
sewer systems, STEP systems,. vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping, valves and appurtenances that help to
collect, manage and transport wastewater. to a wastewater treatment plant under the Permittee's ownership or
maintained and operated by the Permittee through a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite systems are systems
tributary to the Permittee's collection system but those collection systems are not owned or maintained by the
Permittee. The system description provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant to provide a general idea about the
size of the system and may not be all inclusive of the collection system at the time of permit issuance or
afterward.
A release of wastewater from the wastewater collection system is referred to herein as a Sanitary Sewer
Overflow (SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options after a SSO will be determined considering the criteria
listed in condition I(2)(a) and I(2)(b) of the permit and all other relevant information available or requested of the
Permittee. Compliance with all conditions of the permit as well as all statutes and regulations pertaining to the
collection. system must be maintained or appropriate .enforcement actions may be taken as noted in Condition

been necessary. Part II serves as an area to provide a justification for the spill, as optional under Condition I(2) of
your permit. Form CS-SSO can be downloaded from http://h2o.eiir,state.nc.us/ndceu/'from the Collection
Systems area. i
An NOV, civil penalty,and/or a moratorium on the addition of waste to the system may be issued if
.adequate justification for an!. SSO is NOT submitted to the regional office. In order to submit a claim for
justification of an SSO, you must �JJuse the Form-CS-SSO with additional documentation as necessary. DWQ staff
will review the justification claimi and determine if enforcement action is appropriate. Please be advised that the
information needed to justify! a spill is very comprehensive. Begin using this form immediately to report SSOs
from the collection system. Continue to use our old form for reporting bypasses at the wastewater treatment plant
until further notice. The time frame for submittal of both Part I and Part II, if pertinent, is five days.
Failure to abide by the conditions in this permit may subject the Permittee to enforcement action. If any
parts, requirements, or limitations contained- in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to request an
adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty days following .the receipt of this permit. This request
must be in the form of ! written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and
filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless
such demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding.
If you have questions regarding compliance contact your regional office or the Non -Discharge
Compliance and Enforcement, Unit of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality at [phone]. If you
need additional information jconcerning this permit, please contact Marie Doklovic in the Non -Discharge

Dear Mr. Nalley:
In accordance with your application received February 9, 2017, we are forwarding herewith Permit No.
WQCS00131, dated April 5 2017, to the Town of Lake Lure for the operation and maintenance of the subject
wastewater collection system.
This permit shall be effective from July 1, 2017 until June 30, 2025 and shall be subject to the conditions and
limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this permit. Please pay particular
attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit and any special conditions.
Changes have been made to thle boiler plate language of the permit. Most of the changes are for clarification
purposes, however Condition I 1(3) has been removed. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ)
believes that condition was included erroneously in previous permits. It was included based on proposed
rulemaking by EPA which was never promulgated and, in the continued absence of Federal regulations, DEQ
lacks authority to include suchl language in a permit. DEQ will continue to exercise enforcement discretion
when evaluating sanitary sewer overflows that may be considered to be beyond the reasonable control of the
Permittee. A highlighted (copy of the permit identifying the changes made is available at:
httn://ncdenr.s3.amazonalws.com/s3fs-
For,purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly installed system
extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a separately owned
sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations, force mains, low pressure
sewer systems, STEP systems,lvacuum systems, etc. and associated piping, valves and appurtenances that
help to collect, manage and transport wastewater to a wastewater treatment plant under the-Permittee's
ownership or maintained Mandl operated by the Permittee through a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite
systems are systems tributary to the PermitbWs collection system but those collection systems are not owned
or maintained by the Permittee. The system description provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant to provide
a general idea about the size of the system.and may not be all inclusive of the collection system at the time of
permit issuance or afterward.

i 2008- 2009
The Town of Lake Lure operates a wastewater collection system consisting of
approximately 3.5 miles of gravity sewer (28 miles of which is under Lake Lure),
one triplex sewage.pumping stations and associated force main. Then
underwater portion of the system consists of ductile iron with leaded joints while
the above ground portion' is primarily PVC. Log cribs, where necessary, support
sewers under the lake. The Town does accept wastewater from a gravity line
belonging to Rutherford County that serves the Chimney Rock area. The
municipally owned system does not extend beyond the Town's corporate limits.
It is the goal of the Towi

Collection Sy; stem Permit No. WQCS00131
System Classification: Grade I
Description of Collection System:
The Town of iLake Lure owns and maintains a wastewater collection system
consisting of buried and underwater sewer lines, manholes and a lift station and
associated force main. The lines were laid before the lake was filled in 1927 and
consist of ductile iron pipe with leaded joints. Log cribs, where necessary,
support sewers under the lake. The system supports 918 connected customers in
Lake Lure, mainly homes and businesses adjacent to the lake. The Town also
accepts wastewater from a gravity line belonging to Rutherford County that
serves the Chimney Rock area. Lake Lure's municipally -owned system does not
extend beyond the Town's corporate limits. This system collects wastewater and
-delivers it to the town's wastewater -treatment plant (NPDES Permit # NC
0025381) located?on Hwy. 64/74A.
The collection system consists of:
• 18 miles (approx.) of gravity main sewer lines that range in size from
8" I to 24"
• 12 miles (approx.) of this line is located under the water of Lake Lure
with a� portion being as deep as 95 feet below the surface.
• 100' manholes;. 54 of them are located around the shoreline in about
M
- three feet of water.
• 1 ,duplex lift station at the base of the dam. This lift station has a. head
Of
;I ab6 ut 75 feet, at which point it gravity flows to the wastewater
treatment plant.

detectable leaks) were heard.
• Chimney Rock's collection line walked in its entirety (to where it connects to
the Lake Lure system) to check for problems.
• Effective July 1", 2009, sewer rates were increased by an average of 20%. Base
rates for sewer service were increased from $54 to $65 bi-monthly.
• No new sewer connections were made between March 1 and June 301h

• Inspectionsand recommendations were made for identified leaks in private
sewer connections.
Collection system activities in the prior fiscal year (2007/2008):
• During the winter, the Town cleaned 2,000 feet of underwater sewer, starting at
the dam and inspected 2,700 feet of underwater sewer, again starting at the dam,
using a CCTV camera.

While this was a reduction from prior year averages attributed to aggressive I/I reduction

8.0 Related Projects
Sewer Interconnect to Rutherfordton
A strategic plan and preliminary engineering has been completed for a force main sewer
interconnect between iLake Lure's collection system and the Rutherfordton WWTP. This
line would cover approximately 16 miles along Hwy 64/74A and include two
intermediate pump stations. Upon completion, Lake Lure's treatment plant would be
decommissioned and a discharge point would be eliminated from the Broad River. The
project is estimated to cost between $8 and $10 million. Resolutions of support for this
project have been passed by councils in Lake Lure, Chimney Rock Village and
Rutherfordton. An initial grant of $1 million was awarded to Lake Lure in December of
2008 by the NC Rural Center. The remainder of the funds were planned to come from
the Clean Water Management Trust Fund, additional awards from the Rural Center, from
DENR-DWQ and from the towns of Lake Lure and Rutherfordton.
Due to the state budget crisis, CWMTF awards were not made and are not likely to be
available for the next�few years. This project remains atop strategic objective for both
towns, who continue Ito seek funding sources.
9.0 Plans for' N"ext Fiscal Year
• Complete the GIS mapping of all town -owned collection system components.
Identify all properties connected or not connected to the system. To the extent
possible, identify routes of private connection lines to the town -owned

and Associates Engineering.
2. Known Facts about the System
a. The system was apparently designed as a pressure system.
b. The Esmeralda pump station is not capable of providing 2 fps velocity in the 4-inch
force main; (Rutherford Co.)
C. The Rutherford County force main is on a continuous down slope to where it joins
the Lake Lure collection system at a manhole. This line will carry more flow by
gravity at its installed slope than the pump stations can deliver. Therefore this line is
not under pressure. At the proposed flows, the velocity is greater than 2 fps.
d. The computer model used for the Brother's Realty project was not appropriate for
the situation. The results showed the line flowing full under pressure. An
examination of the lower reaches of 3-inch and 4-inch lines show them to be flowing,
by gravity! Again, they carry more flow by gravity than the pumps deliver. This
was not dii co i ered during DWQ's initial review and approval of this project.
e. The original model for the Cliffside at Hickory Nut Falls POA also indicated a
pressure system. Later submittals indicated that the flow in the mainline would be
by gravity.
f 15A NCAC 2H.0219(i) (F) requires a minimum 8-inch line for public owned gravity
sewers and a minimum 6-inch line for privately owner gravity sewers.
I

Conclusions
The overall system, although proposed as a pressure system, functions as a gravity
system. ! '
i
This system is therefore in violation of the DWQ regulations..
An acceptable alternative exists in the form of a small diameter, variable grade
gravity sewer. This alternative requires the removal of solids from the waste stream

Dear Mr. Wheeler:
Attached is the report resulting from the Collection System Permit Compliance Evaluation
Inspection that I conducted oni February 7. The Town of Lake Lure is making good progress in
terms of compliance with term and conditions contained in its Collection System permit.
Following are permit compliance issues observed during the inspection:
(1) The Town has a water and sewer Capital Improvements Plan (CIP). Speaking with
regards to that portion of the Plan relating to the collection system, several items required
by the Town's Collection. Permit are lacking. The Plan. needs a companion. document
presenting a goal statement, a description of the project area, description of existing
facilities, known deficiencies and forecasted, future needs. You indicated that some of
these items may appear in other planning documents prepared by the Town. If that is the
case, they need to be attached to the collection system CIP.
(2) The Town of Lake Lurehas not cleaned 10% of those sewers not located under the water
of Lake Lure.
I
I
Please send me a copy of theineeded. collection system CIP attachments as well as a contract or
invoice relating to sewer cleaning.

operations. The Town's web site offers anyone interested complete news

The Town has a good collection system map. During the winter all man holes
were located using a GPS unit and an even better map should be available soon.
A GPS based map `will give the Town a better handle on the actual length of line

Dear Mr. Braund:
I i
I
Attached herewith is the report resulting from my May 5, 2009 Collection System
Compliance Evaluation Inspection in which I evaluated the operation and maintenance of
the Town of Lake Lure's wiastewater collection system.
By the time you ireci ive this letter and report the Town will probably already have
sent me a copy of the Collection System Certified Operator Designation form.
I
Please ask Williiam;to send me a copy of the new pump station inspection log
sheet. He could also send me a photograph of the pump station emergency notification
sign when installed. The influent pump station did not appear in the Town's previous
collection system permit meaning that this is the first time that the Town has been
exposed to collection system pump station log and emergency notification sign
requirements.
I
Ask Linda to send me the Town's collection system Annual Report as soon as
available. If you choose to combine the wastewater collection system and wastewater
treatment systems into one annual report I will see that the report gets where it needs to
go.
With the com letiorl of the Town's new GIS a.'!.'..: p , ction system map the Town will
have a better handle on the actual l,mgth of sewer owi-,--d. Be absolutely sure

SUBJECT: Use of Private Sewers
Town of Lake Lure
Rutherford County
l base this guidance on myl understanding of the ownership of private sewers. Everyone using a
private sewer has an interest ini that portion of the sewer a ow t e point where their service line
connects to the sewer. However, the sewer is owned by the person whose property it crosses.
Private sewers for purposes of this memorandum are sewers not owned by a unit of government and
are not constructed on a deeded right-of-way. They convey with the property they are located upon.
Therefore, a property owner who happens to have a private sewer line on his or her property owns
that segment of sewer. When you purchase the property you acquire the sewer. You as property
owner also acquire certain obligations to maintain that line.
House service lines are generally under the jurisdiction of the Local Building Inspector. However,
based on State regulation, if that house service line crosses a property line es more t
single buildingor follows a tate road right-of-way then that line must be built under a Permit issued
by the Division n _WjateLQ taiitv�(DWQ). 1 migh# add t Hat minimum line size fora lee permi
the DWQ is 6 inches diameter. R
If a person approaches the Town of Lake Lure for permission to use a private sewer located on their
property to serve their home, I would give permission if down stream sewers and treatment plant
have capacity to convey and treat the proposed volume of sewage. This presupposes that the sewer`
to be connected to is at least 6 inches in diameter. - If the proposed service line -would cross a
property, line, serve more than two buildings or follow a State road right -of way then that person would
have to apply for and receive a permit from the DWQ. Permission from the owners of any property the
proposed service line must crass would be given in the form of a right-of-way. I would suggest that
the Town check back with me from time -to time for the reason that the DWQ is considering changing
its rule relating to permitting 'sewer lines which serve a single dwelling.
If in the application of this guida i ce questions arise please do not hesitate to call me at 828-296-

RE: Yacht Island
Sewer Service Laterals.
Rutherford.County
Dear Mr.. Davidson,
Please find the attached sketch of several properties in" Lake Lure. On this sketch we have attempted to
show sewer laterals on the property owned by David.Royster'lll. The 4" PVC lateral pipe going to the
n. .west serves three existing homes. Thisparticular lateral connects to the existing sewer lateral utilized by
David Royster, as shown onthe sketch, which then connects to an 8-inch sewer�main owned by the
Town of Lake-Lure.'Please.note that the existing lateral serving the three homes -is not utilized in any
away by Mr. Royster.. This existing lateral has failed several_ times over the last few years. Even though Mr.
Royster does not use this existing service lateral he has. had to repair the failing service lateral to prevent
damage to his property. We area requesting that you evaluate this situation and clarify who; in your
opinion, is.responsible for repairing and maintaining this lateral. Please also be advised that this -lateral
was installed approximately.15 years ago without.any rights -of -way and without the knowledge of Mr:
Royster.-Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. '

The Town of Lake Lure is in receipt of the Notice of Violation (NOV 2018-PC-0029) dated February 15,
2018. In response to the NOV,ithe Town of Lake Lure offers the following comments, plans or measures
we plan to take to address the indicated violations.
Inspection Area: Performance, Standards
,
Description of Violation: Capital Improvement Plan only addresses short-term goals.
Response: During the Compliance Inspection, staff from your office reviewed the 2017-2022
Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) for the Town of Lake Lure. Since the inspection, Town staff has
prepared the 2018-2023 Capital- Improvements Plan that focuses on the long-term goal in the
Sewer Department to address the excessive I&I in the system. Project Summary Forms have
been completed for the Sewer Collection System Replacement, the Valve Replacement at the
Hydroelectric Dam, the Sewer Pipe Wrap Project, Manhole Replacements around the Lake, and
the Installation of a Flow Meter for Chimney Rock Village. A copy of the new 2018-2023 CIP for
the Sewer Department is attached. It is expected that this 2018-2023 CIP will be adopted in
April 2018 by Town Council.
Inspection Area: Operation &jMaintenance
Description of Violation: Excessive I&I has caused significant interference of the POTW treatment
processes.
Response: Due to the uniqueness of the sewer system, I&I has been an ongoing concern for many
years. The treatment process at the waste water treatment plant is designed to operate as a
physical/chemical treatment facility due to influent dilution from lake attributed inflow causing very
low influent concentrations of BOD5 and Total Suspended Solids that do not contain enough
nutrients to successfully sustain typical activated sludge process. As referenced above, the Town

has revised its Capital Improvement Plan to recognize the need to address the excessive I&I in the
system. In addition, the Town has recently received permission from the State Revolving Funds
Section, to pursue a new alternative to the Greenline Project. Originally, the Greenline Project
would pump Lake Lure',s wastewater nineteen miles to the Town of Spindale for treatment. Due to
a number of factors discovered during the design and engineering phases of the project, it was
determined that this option was no longer feasible and did not solve the original problem, which
was to remove the lake water infiltration from the sewer treatment process. Of the alternatives
" "re"vieVved;Town Council voted on -March 8, 2018 to pursue`a' low=pressure sewer system installation,
around the lake to replace the 90 year old gravity system located within the lake. A timeline for the
project, developed in conjunction with NCDEQ, is expected to be finalized by April 2018.
I
Inspection Area: Operation & Maintenance
Description of Violation: The Spill Response Action Plan does not address corrective action for a
catastrophic failure of the main line beneath Lake Lure.
Response: The location oflthe sewer lines within the lake creates a difficult and perhaps impossible
solution when addressing a catastrophic failure of the main line. As mentioned in the report, the
lines were installed before the Lake was filled in 1927. Many of the lines are now completely silted
over in the deepest parts of the lake. Pipe wrapping was completed in 2010 and plans are to
complete another pipe:wraIpping project in 2021 if the alternative project to move the sewer lines
outside the lake falls through. The Town has also planned and budgeted for the replacement of the
valve at the hydroelectric dam, which in the case of a catastrophic failure can be closed to prevent
damage to the waste water treatment plant. A revised Sewer Action Plan dated March 1018 is
attached.
Since the inspection, the Town :of Lake Lure has prepared and submitted our Wastewater Collection
System Annual Report (SPAR) aInd taken other steps to correct the problems identified in the Notice of
Violation for the collectionisystem. The Town appreciates your patience and is working to take long-
term steps to resolve the AI issues.
If you have questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.

This: project begins a, systematic replacement`ofthe unique 1920's cast-iron sewer line system within the lake
and the sewer treatment plant. While further engineering is, needed, this project proposes -a phased approach, ° i
r
to replacing the existing sewer -lines with a new low-pressure system`located around the 'lake.. `This budget figure f
is estimated but based.on a$11,000,000 total'project cost, With �a $500,000 principal -forgiveness loan'at 0% '
interest for 30,years through the North Carolina Clean Water StateRevolving Fund.
The sewer system.is now over 90 years old and recent) ' .the sewer'collection system was declared to be -non-
compliant by the State during a recent inspection. Lake water infiltration is increasing at the plant and.a better,'
longer term.solution is needed. It was proposed that the Greenline,Project would.help resolve these issues,'.
however due to the. increased--project`cost and higher infiltration amounts, it now seems.more feasible to
replace the existing system and then determine if aregional,approach is appropriate in the future.

The gate valve at the hydroelectric dam has not been regularly maintained and it is not clear that in the event it
had to be used, that it would operate correctly. The gate valve was designed to be used in the case of a
catastrophic failure of the sewer collection system within the lake. In such an event; the valve would be closed
in the hopes that the sewer treatment plant would not be washed away. During a recent inspection of the
collection system by the State, it was recommended to" repair or replace the valve and place it on -a regular

Manhole Replacement Project Departmental Priority: 6'

10-800000
Health, Safety and Welfare El Mandate Renovation/Replacement Expansion El
This project replaces the 65 manholes around the Lake:- It is proposed that six manholes be repaired or replaced
each year over a period of ten years. It is estimated that the cost of each manhole replacement is approximately
$10,000.
The manholes are part of the original sewer collection system. Over time, they have fallen in to various states of
disrepair due to their age, lack of maintenance and improperly installed private sewer connections.. As a result,
the manholes take in a lot of water and contribute to the excessive amounts of infiltration and inflow in the
sewer system. Depending on the condition., of'the manhole and the progress of the sewer line collection system
replacement project, the manhole will be either repaired or removed.

This project completes the second wrapping of the sewer pipe'joints within the lake. Originally done in 2009-
2010, the project had a life expectancy of approximately ten to fifteen years.
The pipe wrap project is expensive due to the challenges of wrapping pipe joints under water by the divers.
However, once the repairs are made the level of infiltration and inflow drops significantly. Over time however,
the repairs wear thin and are required again. This project will not be needed if the sewer collection system
replacement project is completed.

deemed necessary.
Key personnel will, upon assessing the site, continue to do :ument the event and
determine the severity, magnitude, and potential environmental in pact. Ever effort
should be made. to minimize the spill event consistent with the col tainment and source
control section of this plan. The safety of the respondent should it no way be
compromised.

Subject: Water Quality Test Results
Broad Rive Fish Kill

Dear Mr. Breen:
You recently requested That I send you the results of the Water Quality testing which I
performed on August 29, 2607 while investigating the fish kill in the Broad River below the
Lake Lure dam.
I
Location Time Dissolved Oxygen mg/I % Saturation Temperature F

Above WWTP ! i
Broad River 01:02 PM 4.03 50 27.5
At River Bend
Based upon the above, it was my conclusion that the fish died as a result of elevated water
temperature and depressedDissolved Oxygen resulting from drought conditions and
several weeks of hot weather. The River below the Lake Lure Dam already had a low
dissolved oxygen which iwas exacerbated by the dissolved oxygen sag resulting from the
discharge of wastewater bylthe Town of Lake Lure's Wastewater Treatment Plant
(WWTP).
Since that time the Town of (Lake Lure has taken steps to increase the dissolved oxygen
level in the Broad River below the Dam. Please do not hesitate to call me at 828-296-4500
should you need to discuss any of this data.

Subject: Lifting of Sewer Line Moratorium
Town of Lake Lure WWTP
NPDES Permit NCO025381
Rutherford Courity
Dear Mr. Place:
On April 19, 2006 a moratorium on the issuance of sewer line permits was placed on the Town of Lake
Lure per the authority of 15A NCAC 2H .0223, which specifies that prior to. exceeding 80% of their
hydraulic treatment capacity, facilities must submit an approvable engineering evaluation of their future
wastewater needs before permits for sewer line extensions may be issued. Monitoring data submitted by
the Town showed the subject wastewater treatment plant operated at 82.6% of its treatment capacity
during 2005..
The Division has reviewed the letter of May 23,'2006, sent on the Town's behalf by McGill Associates.
The letter described the unique challenges the Town faces in maintaining an aging collection system that
is largely located under water., Because of this circumstance, and in. spite of routine system
maintenance, the Town acknowledges its system receives significant amounts of inflow and infiltration
(I/I). The Town plans to continue its current, aggressive methods of collection system examination and
maintenance and has also taken steps to increase its diagnostic capabilities so it may better target
segments of sewer lines that may need more or quicker attention. Reducing I/I to the collection system
should provide the Town with wastewater capacity for many years to come. Additionally, the Town
anticipates it will soon begin construction of improvements to the existing wastewater treatment plant
that will help ensure adequate flowI management and treatment in the future. The Town is also looking
at long range plans that would 'eliminate the portion .of the collection. system under water, which would
greatly increase the Town's abilitylto manage III. The information provided in, the May 23 letter shows
the Town has complied with the terms of 15A NCAC 2H .0223(1).

Re: Town of Lake Lure WWTP
Rutherford County, North Carolina
Dear Mr. Klimek,
We are in receipt of a copy of your letter dated April 19, 2006 to the Town of Lake Lure.
Your letter indicated that the subject facility has exceeded the 80 percent capacity threshold for
the calendar year 2005. According to your letter the average daily flow at this facility during the
calendar year 2005 was 0.8221 MGD. This represents 82.6 percent of the 0.995 MGD permitted
capacity of this facility. At the direction of and on behalf of the Town of Lake Lure, this letter
shall serve as a response too your letter and provide details on how the Town has addressed and
will continue to address this WWTP capacity issue. This document should be considered the
Town.'s "approvable engineering evaluation of future wastewater treatment needs" that is
referred to in your letter. :
As you may be aware, the Town of Lake Lure is in the unique situation of having a
majority of its collection system located under the waters of Lake Lure and contains manholes in
the shallow waters around the, perimeter of the lake which serve as the connection points for the
balance of. the collection ;system. It was constructed in the mid 1920's in conjunction with a
development that involved the construction of the dam that now forms Lake Lure. At the time of
the construction of this collection system, it was intended to drain wastewater originating from
homes around the lake and discharge it into the Broad River immediately downstream of the dam
in an effort to keep the waters] of Lake Lure as pristine as possible. For this reason, there was not
a tremendous effort to make this collection system watertight. In fact, the predominant
philosophy in managing',1wastewater at that time was "the solution to pollution is dilution".
Therefore, it is apparent that this collection system has always contained a significant volume of
what we now know as infiltration and inflow (I/I) from the lake. What was .then considered
beneficial, we now are striving to eliminate.
From these beginnings, the Town is now faced with an aging, underwater collection
system _which contains excessive levels of I/I. According to a recent study, infiltration has been

estimated at 3,596 GPD/inch' mile of collection system, while inflow was estimated at 898
GPD/capita. These figures translate to more than 600,000 GPD of extraneous flow entering the
wastewater treatment plant. ; This extraneous flow obviously represents the overwhelming
majority of flow reaching 'the wastewater treatment plant. In fact, as a result of these excessive
levels of I/I, the wastewater Itreatment plant for the Town is now operated essentially as a
chemical/physical process rather than a biological system due to the exceptionally low
wastewater strength entering j the facility. All these considerations are well known by the
Division of Water Quality (DWQ) and are reflected in the Division's regulation of this facility.
Historical records from the U.S. Census Bureau indicate that the population of the Town
of Lake Lure has increased l at an annual rate of approximately 3.0 ,percent. When this -
information is. combined with DWQ criteria for estimated per capita wastewater flow generation,
it indicates that if this same growth rate is applied to future increases in both residential and.
commercial wastewater flows being delivered - to the wastewater treatment plant, the resulting
wastewater flows at the plant will increase by approximately 80,800 gallons per day over the
next 20 years. It is evident that this increase in domestic wastewater flow is a relatively small
percentage of the current volume of extraneous water entering the collection system. Therefore,
a relatively small reduction in II/I can provide sufficient capacity within the treatment process for
the foreseeable future.
i
Therefore, for the purposes of the State's 80/90 rule and for the near future, the Town of
Lake Lure intends to address the issue of managing the capacity of its wastewater treatment plant
not by expanding the facility, but rather by addressing the 'I/I issues described above. in
understanding the need to address this issue, the Town of Lake Lure has been proactive in taking
steps to address this issue ,which include the following measures.
First, the Town of Lake Lure routinely budgets resources for the rehabilitation and
sealing of the roughly 50 Imanholes which line the perimeter of the lake. Following this work,
reductions in flows to the: wastewater treatment plant have shown the benefits of these efforts.
This work is typically coordinated to coincide with the Town dropping the water level down in
the lake to allow property, owners around the perimeter of the lake to repair sea walls and boat
docks. This activity is scheduled again for this upcoming .winter. Therefore, the Town of Lake
Lure has, again, programmed budgetary funds to perform more of this rehabilitative work on -
these manholes.
Second, the main collection system components as described in this letter represent some
very involved technical challenges. The Town has utilized divers and special equipment in the
past to reduce inflow from the lake into the main collection system. Recent "in place" repairs
have also been done to help reduce flow to the plant. In one such recent action, the staff of the
Town of Lake Lure has identified and repaired three (3) manholes at the banks of the lake that
were suspected of significant I/I contributions. As a result of these repairs, flows at the
wastewater treatment plant over the past several months have consistently been reduced by
150,000 to 200,000 GPD.' The recent I/I reduction efforts have resulted in significant reduction

Mr. Alan W. Klimek, P.E.
May 23, 2006 •
Page 3
I
in. the flows from the WWTP. Thus far in 2006, the plant's flows have fallen to 0.6 to 0.65
MGD, monthly average levels (60 to 65 percent of permit flow limit). This is well below the 80
percent level and it is the Toavn's commitment to maintain a level of discharge flow significantly
below 80 percent of the per 'miffed capacity' for the remainder of 2006. The additional measures
described further in this letter should result in further reductions in flow.
Next, in addition'4o these current efforts, the Town of Lake Lure has just been informed
that they have been awar'dedl a grant from the Clean Water Management Trust Fund which will
allow the Town to conduct an investigation of the collection system which will identify sources
of I/I within the system': his investigation will include the use of closed-circuit television
equipment to examine the system at a number of points and document the location and severity
of deficiencies within the system. It is also planned to smoke test portions of the system which
lie outside the waters of the lake. The deficiencies identified through these efforts will be
cataloged and prioritized! Repairs can then be budgeted or funding sought to accomplish the
identified deficiencies. The forms of repair that are anticipated in this case include the use of
divers in accessing and repairing deficiencies in the underwater portions of the system, as well as
pipe slip -lining and robotic point repairs.
In relation to the WWTP itself, it should be noted that the rehabilitation of many of the
components at the existing facility have been designed and the permitting process for these
improvements is nearly complete. The rehabilitation of the WWTP will allow it to more
effectively manage flows at the facility and provide better treatment capability. The key to this
Process will be to effectively balance the elimination of I/I within the collection system while
maintaining effective treatment at the wastewater plant.
I
Each of the measures and actions described in this letter are being viewed by the
leadership of the Town of Lake Lure as an effective approach in providing for the current
wastewater needs of the community. The leadership of the Town of Lake Lure has also taken a
proactive approach in initiating the planning process to develop a long-term comprehensive plan
which, among other things, will address emerging future wastewater needs for the Town and
greatly improving the overall management system for this municipality. This plan will include
studying the feasibility of eliminating the collection system within the lake and offer alternatives
for providing sewer service to Ithe community which may need to include the construction of a
new wastewater treatment plant or significant modifications to the existing facility to convert it
to a more conventional processL Ultimately the Town will evaluate available alternatives, select,
permit and implement an approach which will provide a longer -term solution to these issues.
However, these actions will � require many years of planning, designing, permitting and
construction along with many millions of dollars of funding. As appropriate and at the proper
time, the Town of Lake Lure will seek all available sources of funding for this vast undertaking.
However, it is expected that this process will evolve'over the next 15 to 20 years. In the interim,
the ongoing measures described herein will provide the necessary wastewater service to the
community and help ensure the performance of the system within permitted parameters until
these more comprehensive steps can be implemented

Dear Mr. Hintz:
This letter is provided in follow up to McGill Associates' correspondence dated March 31, 2005. The Asheville
Regional Office concurs with replacement of the 20-inch main valve leading to the Town of Lake Lure's wastewater
treatment facility. Replacement of the 20 inch main valve would be a maintenance activity in accordance with Section
02H .0217 (11) of the North Carolina Administrative Code and is therefore deemed permitted.
Lake Lure's submerged collection system, substantially running along the bottom of the lake, provides a
tremendous challenge in correcting linflo'w/infiltration (111). Using in -line TV cameras to study the Town of Lake Lure's 1/1
problems seems to be a good approach.
The method of 1/1 repair proposed in the letter of March 31, 2005 is cured -in -place technology; it has proven
successful in many collection systems. JCooling effects, due to high groundwater levels, have resulted in some problems
with cured -in -place technology. In the Town of Lake Lure's situation, the temperature of the lake and the contractor's
ability to maintain a curing temperature would be of consideration in the success of the proposed method.
Upgrading the Town of Lake Lure's wastewater treatment facility is much needed. Your assistance and
cooperation in the matter are appreciated. Please contact me if there are questions or a need for additional .information.

PURPOSE:
r
This plan is. to be implemented in the event of a Sanitary Sewer Overflow, (SSO)
t or spill within the Collection System. The plan was developed to insure the key personnel
response to every spill event within sixty (60) minutes of a reported event.
INITIAL RESPONSE:
Spills reported to or detected by collection system personnel require immediate
attention. The Collection System ORC or his. appointed Back-up Operator will make the
preliminary assessment of the spill within 1.5 minutes after receiving report. That
assessment includes visiting the spill site, The ORC or Back-up will determine the
appropriate response and request assistance from key personnel as necessary. The
attached call back list! will be maintained current and be ranked according to essential
response including, i.e. equipment operators. Local contractor may be employed as
deemed necessary.
Key personnel will, upon.. assessing the site, continue to document the event and
determine the severity, magnitude, and potential environmental impact. Ever effort
should be. made to .minimize the spill event consistent with the containment and source
control section of thisiplani. The safety of the respondent should in no way be
compromised. I
Key personnel; should implement recovery actions to eliminate the cause of
obstruction and/or system failure as outlined in this plan.
POST SPII'LL RESPONSE, (REPORTING):
i
After contaimnent is achieved, the Division of Water Quality, (DWQ) must be.
contacted as soon as possible but, in no case later than 24 hours after initial detection if;

` 1) The spill has reachedsurface waters, "Waters of the State" or
(- 2) The spill exceeds one thousand gallons, (1,000 gals.)
l
Every small spill must be logged on site including time, date, approximate
volume; name of res orndent.
Spills that are fully contained and removed quickly and are less than one thousand
gallons are not required to be reported to DWQ. However, a full spill report form will be
filled outand kept on file.

methods, the- flow should be discontinued immediately or reduced
j to the least possible. volume.
If the pumps on the location are not operating the control panel
should be checked for;
a. ; Power ON?
b. i Check breaker.
G. Breaker closed, check thermal overloads. (External button).
d. Overload good, Check fuses,, if you are trained to do so.

I
SECTION ONE. Section 5 1. 18 of Chapter 51 of the Code of Ordinances of the Town of Lake Lure is
hereby added as follows:
Section 51,18. Fat, Oil, and Grease Control
` (a) Scope and purpose. I The objective of this section is to aid in preventing the introduction and
accumulation of fats, oils, and greases into the municipal wastewater system which will or
tend to cause or contribute to sanitary sewer blockages and obstructions. Food Service
l Establishments 'ands other industrial or commercial establishments generating wastewater
containing fats,'oils or greases are subject to this section. This section regulates such users by
requiring that grease interceptors and other approved strategies be installed, implemented,
[ and maintained in accordance with the provisions hereof.
(b) Definitions.
I
l Action Level means the concentration based numeric value that the Grease interceptor
effluent, at the device's outlet tee and prior to mixing with any other waste water from the
contributing establisiiment's property, are expected to achieve on a consistent or stipulated
l basis.
Common interceptor means one or more interceptors receiving FOG laden wastewater from
_ more than one establishment. Common interceptors may be located at shopping centers,
malls, entertainment; complexes, sporting arenas, hotels, multi -tenant "flex" spaces, mixed
use spaces, and other sites where multiple establishments are connected to a single grease
interceptor. The owner of the property on which the common grease interceptor is located
shall be primarily responsible for the maintenance, upkeep, and repair of the common
interceptor.
Fats, oils, and greases means organic polar compounds derived from animal and/or plant
sources that coritain multiple carbon chain triglyceride molecules. These substances are
detectable and measurable using analytical test procedures established in 40 CRF 136, as may
be amended from time to time. All are sometimes referred to herein as "grease" or "greases"
or "FOG".
i
Food Service Establishments or "FSE" means those establishments primarily engaged in
activities of preparing, serving, or otherwise making available for consumption foodstuffs and

baking (all methods), grilling, sauteing, rotisserie cooking, broiling (all methods), boiling,
blanching, roasting toasting, or poaching, and infrared heating, searing, barbecuing, and any
other food preparation or serving activity that produces a consumable food product in or on a
receptacle requiring washing to be reused.
FOG erforcenient response plan means the document and written plan and procedures by
which the Utility Director implements an enforcement strategy applicable to the FOG control
and management program established herein. The plan applies to FOG program violations
and matters of ;program noncompliance. Stipulated penalties for specific and programmatic
infractions are iad&cssed in the plan and set forth in the Town's annual budget ordinance.
The Utility Director shall make site and case specific detenninations of program non-
conformance in accordance with this Division 2,
Grease trap or interceptor means a devise for separating waterborne greases and grease
complexes from wastewater and retaining such greases and grease complexes prior to the
wastewater exiling the trap and entering the sanitary sewer collection and treatment system.
Grease traps also serve to collect solids that settle, generated by and from activities that
subject Users to this section, prior to the water exiting the trap and entering the sanitary sewer
collection and treatment system. Grease traps and interceptors are sometimes referred to
herein as "grease interceptors."
Minimum design capability means the design features of a grease interceptor and its ability or
volume required to l effectively intercept and retain greases and ,settled solids from grease -
laden wastewaters discharged to the public sanitary sewer.
Non -cooking establishments means those establishments primarily engaged in the preparation
of precooked foodstuffs that do not include any form of cooking: but that may produce a
consumable food product in or on a receptacle requiring washing to be reused.
Onsite grease interceptor treatment (sometin:es "Onsite Treatment') means mechanisms or
procedures utilized by a user to treat grease interceptor contents on the User's site, followed
by the reintroduction of such treated wastewater back into the interceptor. Onsite grease
interceptor treatment may only be accomplished by a user if the user or the user's contract
service provider is permitted by the North Carolina Division of Waste Management as a
septage management firm or service provider.
_f
Service provider means any third party not in the employment of the user that performs
maintenance, repair, !and other services on a user's grease interceptor at the user's directive.
(c) Grease interceptor installation, maintenance, recordkeeping, and grease removal.

i
fthe terms of an enforcement action, said user shall not allow wastewater discharge
l' concentration from subject grease interceptor to exceed an establishment action level of
too milligrams per liter, expressed as Hexane Extractable Material. All grease
interceptors shall be of a type, design, and capacity approved by the Utility Director and
[. shall be readilyland easily accessible for maintenance, and repair, including cleaning and
for town inspection. All grease interceptors shall be serviced and emptied of
accumulated waste content as required in order to maintain minimum design capability or
effective volume of the grease interceptor, but not less often than every sixty (60) days or
as permitted in a valid program modification. Users who are required to pass wastewater
through a grease interceptor shall:
a. Provide a minimum hydraulic retention time of 24 minutes at actual peak flow
between the influent and effluent baffles, with twenty-five percent (25%) of the
total volume of the grease interceptor being allowed for any food -derived

accumulate, identified hereafter as a solids blanket and grease cap
respectively."
f
` b. Remove any accumulated grease cap and solids blanket as required, but at
intervals of not longer than sixty (60) days at the user's expense, or in
accordance with the valid program modification or other Utility Director's
l requirements. Grease interceptors shall be kept free of inorganic solid
_ materials, such as grit, rocks, gravel, sand, eating utensils, cigarettes, shells,
towels, rags, etc., which could settle into this solids blanket and thereby reduce
l the effective volume of the grease interceptor,
i
- c, If the user performs onsite grease interceptor treatment pursuant to a
( modification granted below, user shall:
l l i
1. Prior to commencement of Onsite Treatment obtain written
approval by and from the Utility Director of all processes utilized in said
l onsite treatment.

been brought in on a consultation basis including representatives from both r '_RWA wastewater and water
divisions and John Lassiter for the instrumentation. There are many correct a measures that have been
implemented:
• A new blower has been installed along with a heater in thI chemical shed
• The 3 phase motor relay was replaced on the clarifier
• Pipe/joint wrapping of sewer line in the lake which has ai, ed in the reduction of flow to
the wastewater facility. This in turn has removed the dilu on factor due to the reduced
Inflow and Infiltration. '
• Pilot project: an immobilized microbe technology filter � is installed in early March,
2011. This pilot was intended to aide in the reduction of I OD and Ammonia Nitrogen.
• Chlorine addition to the Influent Lift Station causing grea oxidation to; the iron which
carried through to the receiving waters. This also resultee in elevated TSS
• Dye testing/fluoride testing was performed to measure the detention time of the facility.
• Influent lift station float adjustments to make the flow in equal increments as is
possible
• An effluent flow chart recorder has been installed to visuz ly monitor the peak flows and
aide in setting the influent lift station floats to tighten that; lariance. THis also is aiding
in the determination of the chemical feed.
• Additional influent and process control testing is being pe. formed to determine the
contents of the influent and the benefits received during tl, : processes
• Graphs are provided to visually observe the monthly variE, ices in flow and permitted
data as well as the additional influent testing ! j
• Graphs are provided by Brown Consultants to indicate the progress made with the joint
wrapping and the relationship with the flow usage as co m aced to years and seasons
previous.

i
�1
• Documents are provided relating to the joint wrapping process and the leaks and breaks
that are determined and repaired.
• A river monitoring gauge is installed to determine the dfu's of the river in relation to the
flow discharged from the facility.
• A spreadsheet has been developed and circulated among the parties involved to aide in
the understanding of the facility. This daily operators log includes:
�o Dissolved Oxygen at 6 locations throughout the facility from the influent
to the chlorine contact chamber.
o Iron measurement at the influent and effluent to note the change within
the system
o Alkalinity measurement at the influent and effluent to determine aide
with Ammonia Nitrogen reduction.
o Pump hours on the sludge transfer pumps
o Feed rates, gallons used and percent pump stroke of all the chemicals
used.
to Depth of sludge throughout the basin and clarifier
o Measurement of gallons of sludge wasted from the basin and clarifier
o Feet of sludge and gallons in the digester and amount in gallons that
is returned as supernate.
I 10 General observations of the facility.
o Rain data.

media that was to aide in the break -down of Ammonia Nitrogen,
allowing the bacteria a place to work. This media has not produced the
outcome that we had anticipated by this time. The engineer and
i supplier are working to change the media to a different type to see if
this will allow for the breakdown we are hoping for. We have also
been working with Brown Consultants to see if adding less chemical at
the head of the plant will allow for additional biological growth. This
has proved non -eventful at this time. There are also calculations being
performed to try a re -circulation pump in the effluent prior to chlorine,
to attempt to send nitrifiers back to the head waters for assistance with

Common interceptor I means one or more interceptors receiving FOG laden wastewater from
more than one establishment. Common interceptors may be located at shopping centers,
malls, entertainment) complexes, spoiling arenas, hotels, multi -tenant "flex" spaces, mixed
use spaces, and 'other sites where multiple establishments are connected to a single grease
interceptor. The owner of the property on which the common grease interceptor is located
shall be primarily responsible for the maintenance, upkeep, and repair of the common
interceptor.
Fats, oils, and grea l es means organic polar compounds derived fiom animal and/or plant
sources that contain I multiple carbon chain triglyceride molecules. These substances are
detectable and measurable using analytical test procedures established in 40 CRF 136, as may
be amended from time to time. All are sometimes referred to herein as "grease" or "greases"
or "FOG".

The Utility Director shall make site and case specific deter ninations of program non-
conformance in accordance with this Division 2, I
Grease trap or interceptor means a devise for separating wi orborne greases and grease
complexes from wastewater and retaining such greases and gi ;ase complexes prior to the
wastewater exiting the trap and entering the sanitary sewer coli .ction and treatment system.
f: Grease traps also serve to collect solids that settle, generated by and from activities that
` subject Users to this section, prior to the water exiting the trap ai, 3 entering the sanitary sewer
collection and treatment system. Grease traps and intercepto, � are sometimes referred to
I'
herein as "grease interceptors."
Minimum design capability means the design features of a greas interceptor, and its ability or
�I
volume required to effectively intercept and retain greases ad settled solids from grease -
Li laden wastewaters discharged to the public sanitary sewer.
I'
Non -cooking establishments means those establishments primar, y engaged in the preparation
F of precooked foodstuffs that do not include any form of cool ng: but that may produce a
consumable food product in or on a receptacle requiring washini to be reused.

SOURCE CONTROL AND CON] AINN ENT
PROCEDURE
Depending on the nature of the spill or overflow, th initial assessment
should indicate the priority of source control and/or contain nent.
1) When the source can be isolated through val yes, plugs qr other
methods, the flow should be discontinued in' mediately or reduced
to the least possible. volume.
i 2) If the pumps on the location are not operatir. ; the control panel
should be checked for;
a. Power ON?
b. Check breaker.
c. Breaker closed, check thermal overli ads. (External button)..
d. Overload good, Check fuses, if you ; re trained to do so.
G e. Is pump straining? (Clogged with de iris?)
f. Do you smell a burnt motor?( conta( , vendor from list)
g. Call for Electrician. (From attached � .st.)
`
3) Containment methods will typically include
s
a. Sand or dirt dikes and dams. (Small stream,. creeks.)
b. Holes or pits. (To prevent run off to surface waters)
If the spill event resulted from an area wide power outage i ou should contact
Power Company and identify your site as critical. You mu; ; have account number
for location..
F i i
_s If the problem is mechanical in nature, retrieve parts from ! averitory and make
repairs. Re -order parts as they are used? ;
i�. i,
If the problem results from sewer blockage call for let i' adding machine.

and Privately -owned Pump Stations
Rutherford County
Dear Mr. Place: `
As we have continued our evaluations of sewage collection systems management, it was
recognized that there are a, group of contributors that may not be informed of their individual
responsibilities. In March 2000, the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission
enacted rules related to; sewage collection systems. These rules are now found in the North
Carolina Administrative Code 15 NCAC 2T .0403 for deemed permitted facilities. They include
facilities with a privately -owned collection system that serve condominiums, apartments, mobile
home parks, subdivisions, shopping centers, colleges, etc. that are tributary to larger municipally
owned systems, yet are not owned.or managed by the municipality.
If you are aware of any such privately -owned collection systems, we would also like to be
informed of their existence. Iln addition, we would like to know where any privately -owned pump
stations are located that are connected to your collection system. The type of information we
are requesting is the facility} name, location and contact person. If that system is in a state of
disrepair or if you have received complaints about it previously, please note that as well.
Your attention to this request is most appreciated. We have been notified of problems at
some of these facilities In the past and have had a difficult time locating the responsible party to
affect a repair to the problem.
A response from lyoul within 30 days would be very helpful, as weary: to .ensure that all
owners of collection systems are meeting the regulatory requirements ofreporting spills and
providing the proper operation and maintenance of their systems. Hopefully, this will also be
beneficial to the operation of your municipal collection system. Northcarolina

Dear Mr. Place:
i
would like to take this opportunity to discuss the requirements for sewerage collection
systems that were first established in 15 NCAC .02H .0200 in March 2000 and are now found in
15 NCAC 2T .0403, Waste Not Discharged to Surface Waters, which became effective
September 1, 2006. These Regulations place significant operation, maintenance and reporting
requirements on those entities that own or operate a wastewater collection system with average
daily flows of less than 200,0;00 gallons per day.
These regulations are applicable to your facility. This letter is provided as guidance
to assist you in complying with the new reporting. and operations and maintenance (O&M)
requirements and to advise you that you are subject to system review, inspections and possible
enforcement, if the system is not in compliance with the regulation.
For your convenience and easy reference, a highlight of these requirements and the
following guidance are offered (see enclosed). You may find the regulations using the following
web site: http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/peres/Collection%2OSvstems/CollectionSvstemsHome.htmi
The Asheville Regional Office will be increasing the level of oversight, compliance
activities and enforcement relating to collections systems, therefore, we wanted to be sure you
are aware of the requirements for these systems. We will be performing NPDES Wastewater
Collection System inspection; sometime in the near future.

SUBJECT: Use of Private Sewers
Town of Lake -Lure
Rutherford County
I. base this guidance on my understanding of the ownership of private sewers. Everyone using a
private sewer has an interest In that portion of the sewer below the point where their service line
connects to the sewer. However, the sewer is owned by the person whose property it crosses.
Private sewers for purposes'of this memorandum are sewers not owned by a unit of government and
are not constructed on a deeded right-of-way. They convey with the property they are located upon.
Therefore, a property owner who. happens to have a private sewer line on his or her property owns
that segment of sewer. Whelp you purchase the property you acquire the sewer. You as property
owner also acquire certain obligations to maintain that line.
House'service lines are generally under the jurisdiction of the Local Building Inspector. However,
based on State regulation, if that house service line crosses a property line, serves. more than a
single building or follows a Statel road right-of-way then that line must be built under a Permit issued
by the Division of Water.Quality (DWQ). I might add that the minimum line size for a line permitted by
the DWQ is 6 inches diameter.
If a person approaches the Town of Lake- Lure for permission ,to use a private sewer located on their
property to.serve their home,1.l would give permission if down stream sewers and treatment plant
have capacity to convey and treat the proposed volume -of sewage. This presupposes that the sewer
to be connected to is at least'6 inches in diameter. If the proposed service line would cross a
property line, serve more than two buildings or follow a State road right -of way then that person would
have to apply for and receive'a permit from the DWQ. Permission from the owners of any property the
proposed service line must cross would be given in the form of a right-of-way. [would suggest that
the Town check back with me' from time to time for the reason that the DWQ is considering changing
its rule relating to' permitting sewer lines which serve a single dwelling.
If in the application of this guidance questions -arise please do not hesitate to call me at 828-296-

Reference is made to our October 25, 2006 conversation in which you asked about our
position regarding small'!privately owned sewer systems serving a few homes such as
that system at Lake Lure Village Resort. At the present time our expectation is that they
be maintained in such amanner that untreated sewage is not released to the surface of
the ground or nearby surface waters. I suggest that any necessary repair utilize PVC
pipe of at least 6 inch diameter. The state does not have a program of asking immediate
replacement of such small systems in their entirety.

Subject: Use of Private Sewer Line
Town of Lake Lure
Rutherford County
Dear Mr. Spears:
I have given thought to the two conversations we have had regarding your requested use of the
private sewer line which ultimately ties into the Town of Lake Lure's sewer system. It is reasonable
that any Town would establish conditions for connecting to a sewer system. I am told that in this
instance the Town of Lake Lure is requiring that, among other things, you obtain the written
agreement of the other five users of the private sewer in order for you to use the line. This is not
unreasonable given that those five people have a vested interest in the line. The line serves their
homes and they may by now have invested money in its maintenance. The Division of Water Quality
cannot give you permission to. use the private sewer for the reason that the Division enjoys no
ownership of the sewer.
If you should wish to avoid use oflthe private line, you have as an option the construction of a sewer
line all the way to the Town's nearest manhole. Such a line would require, prior to construction, the
issuance of a Permit by the Division of Environmental Management. If this is an option you wish to
pursue, you should obtain the ,services of a consulting engineer to assist in making permit application.
If you are unable to secure the necessary ry permission to use the sewer, I suggest you explore the
possibility of constructing a septic, tank -drain field under the jurisdiction of the Local Health
Department. J

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 thislcivil 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 islimited 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'=2SI I (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 ekplanation, 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); '

violation (i.e., explain the steps that you took to correct the violation and prevent future occurrences);

EXPLANATION:
6cc �- r - -- --- -- --- -- -
Aww-v(l�

We respectfully request remission of this civil penalty due to these factors:
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from
the violation. When the; pump failure and overflow was discovered during the first of
two daily inspections, our operator immediately re-engaged the pumps manually and the
overflow was stopped. The pumps were monitored until all of the accumulated waste in
the system was cleared iHe also started the hydroelectric generators (standard daily
procedures when there is sufficient water flow into the lake) in order to provide
additional water volume into the river at the point of the overflow. Water samples taken
from the river that day tested well within the limits established in our treatment plant
discharge permit.
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident. The pump station is
- inspected twice daily, maintained as -required and had been runningfor-several years
without significant issues. Backup pumps and alarm autodialers were in place. This SSO
incident was evidenced by concurrent failures in an electrical relay and the autodialer
phone line —and there was a localized lightning storm at the time. Our engineers and
contractors have concluded that a lighting strike and/or power surge caused multiple
points of electric failure.', Less than a month later, a Duke Power transformer failed on
the pole above the lift station possibly a byproduct or a contributing factor to the
earlier incident during the storm. We feel that significant measures and procedures were
in place to provide prevention, recovery and early warning of problems with the lift
station. A catastrophic failure of multiple alert and recovery systems is difficult to
reasonably predict or prevent.

First, my-apblogies-for, notgettirig this response -to you'wrth x the requested.tzrneframe from your
initial. N4 V received; on August _l6, 201,0: Following our cpnversafion on'that�day, I was of the
impression: that we':woii •be receiving a revised letter that removedAhe.refererice to the missing
5-d4. report.
At -the lowest point of Lake Lure'.s gravity sewer ,collection system;'where the pipe- goes through
the dam' and crosses the Broad -River, we` have a pump lift station that assists the flow up.'a small
�.
hill to the wastewater treatment plant This station, has `3 pumps that: operate independently to
I;
provide redundancy: We have gen"tor'power backup and aphone ai6.4iAler for notification
ofpump failures ; We have staff pexform.and log<a visual inspection of the pumps and wet well
twice_ daily..
_. ,
Summary of Incident _
On Sunday, July 25t", sometiI.me after the afternoon inspection of the.pump station, we had a
severe thYxnderstorm=move (through' the area On:Mon day morning, it was discovered that the
pumps, and the autodialer were nonworking The: pumps were, started man Ally'!arid rutsuntil..the

Pump station and at the wastewater'trea. qnt plant, calcula#ions show an e6timate' 300,090

observed exrhng this manhole through a narrow seam: about 5'.'belowahe top of the manhole
The man_ ole:cover was not disturbed In:late 2009, this manhole was sealed to prevent the
irit'rusiotri'ofwatei during flood releases of the darn However;'the mtenor."pressure buildup m ke
July 25 SSO was such that the seal was breached
/

Response
Once the pumps were running and the system was returned to norms l operation, our operator
consulted with an electrician on- site and they confirmed failures of a pump control relay device.
and the autodialer phone line —both surmised to be storm -induced. ` f otifications were made to
DWQ, to the Town Manager and. to a downstream river -tubing busir.., ss. Per instructions by'
DWQ, water samples were taken in the river and sent for laboratory; nalysis. A public
announcement appeared in the July 3& Daily -Courier and Shelby Si lr newspapers. On July
29"', an SSO report was faxed to the DWQ Regional Office.
The test results revealed measurements that were well within the par meters of our treatment
plant discharge permit for fecal coliform, pH and dissolved oxygen.,'
Prevention Plan j
A five -part plan of action has been developed and implementation is ;inderway.
1) The pump relay has been replaced. Additional spares have b en ordered and will be
maintained in the pump station.
2) The phone line has been restored and the autodialer tested.
3) A second autodialer will be installed that is battery powered nd wireless (cellular). This
will provide redundancy in the event of a power outage and €'nerator failure —or a
failure of a copper telephone line. '
4) Daily and weekly failover tests will be added to the inspectic and maintenance
procedures for the pump station. These will evaluate the bac up and notification systems
including wet well floats, generator, telephone autodialer. T] tests will simulate power
failures, pump failures and telecommunications failures. +:
5) Town engineers have been commissioned to direct the permz 'ient sealing or removal of .
the manhole at the base of the dam. This will eliminate one j otential source of sewer
overflow in the case of multiple systems failures.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further question ,� concerns or
recommendations.

Dear _Mr. -Edwards
First; my.apologies for'not getting this response to you within the requested tlmeframe from'your''
initial N ' `received: on A{ gust i 6, 201,0. Foll"owing,our conversation on that day, I was•of the
inipressio,n, that we:would be recelvirig ,a revised letter that.removed. the-refereric`e jto -the. missing
5 day report. _
'.
Back r '
At;tlie.lowest point of Lake Lure's'gravity`sewer collection system,-,.where,the•pipe-goes'through
the: damy and�crosses the Broad Rlver, we have a pump_ lift station that ' sists'the flow.up,a. small
hill to -the wastewater•treatmerit plant This station has 3 pumps that.operate independently to
prouide=redundancy: We have generator; power backup and a phone auto_dialer for notification r
of pump failures:, We have staff"perform and log a visual inspection of the pumps and wet well
twice daily.
Summary `of -Incident' ;
•On Sunday; July-25th, sometime after the "afternoon inspection of the pump: station;_we had a
§evetd.thunderstonn'move through the area' 4 On Mond ay' morning, it was discovered -that the'' ;.
pumps' -and the,autodialer' wee' not working. The pumps,were. started manually'and rurr until the
`. •accurhulate`d'�material in.the system-was•cleared.:, ;Using. information from,the flow.,M ers;-at'th&
pump;station and'at'the;wastewatertreatment plapt,;calculations show an,estimated 300,000
.gallons unaccounted. for during a 15=hour:period: ° While the, material is highly diluted :with lake .a
water atthis point inLake Lure's* system,* was `nonetheless. an untreated reaease into the river.:

wet wellbr. an.up`stream; elevated manhole 'at the;base of the,dain. In this-iricldent; materlal:was"
;observed exiting this manhole through a narrow seam 'about 5"below the top of the -manhole:
The manhole'cover was, not disturbed In' late 2009, this:"manliole.was sealed to prevent the .
IntruslOn of water, during #loo,d releases of the dam:. 'Iiowever; the interior;pressure:buildup in the
July" 25`" S'SO was such that the seal was breached
:. } ,

Response.
Once the pumps were running andahe system was returned to normal operation, our,operator
consultedwith ari electrician on site 'and they confirmed failures of "a pump control relay device,
and the autodial'er"phone, line—both`surmised to be storm=induced. Notifications :were made to',
DWQ, to the Town. Manager arid,,to a downstream river -tubing business. "Per instructions by'., • -
DWQ,-water samples.were taken in the'river and sent for laboratory analysis. A public ."
announcement appeared'in the;July 30`h Daily:gourier and Shelby Star newspapers: On_July
29`h, an SSO report was ;faxed to the DWQ Regional Office. . " .
; The test.resulis revealed measurements that -were "well 'within .the p arameters .of our. treatment'
:
plant discharge permit for fecal coliforrii, pH and;dissolved oxygen..
Prevention Plan
A-f ve-part plan of action hats -been `developed and implementation is underway.
1) The pump relay, has been replaced. Additional spares, have been and will be
maintained in the pump station.
2)_ The phone`line has bI en restored and.the'autodialer tested.' ;
3) A -second autodialer will ,be installed that is battery -powered and:wireless (cellular)., This. .
will provide redundancy in the:event-of a power -outage and generator failure —or a
failure of a coppor.telephone line. -
- 4) Daily and weekly;' failover•tests Wilt be'added-to the,inspection'and maintenance'
Procedures for the pump station:: These will evaluate the, backup and notification systems.
including wet well floats, generator, -telephone autodialer. The tests will, simulate power:
failures; pump Tdilures,.and telecommunications failures. =
5) 'Town engineers been commissioned to direct the permanent sealing or:removal of _
the, manhole at the base of the dam. This will eliminate'one potential.sourceof sewer
overflow in the case of multiple systems failures:, _
Please'do not hesitate to contact me if you have any further questions, concerns or
recommendations:
Sincerely,
Chris' Braund
