Subject: Monitoring for High Rock Reservoir (Permit - NCO078361)
Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) Study (chlorophyll a and turbidity)
Dear Mr. Bernhardt,
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ), in partnership with the Yadkin Pee -Dee River Basin
Association (YPDRBA), has begun monitoring of the High Rock Reservoir watershed for the
purpose of chlorophyll a and turbidity TMDL development, as of April 2008. The monitoring
is scheduled to last for two years (April 1, 2008 - March 31, 2010).
Ms. Kathy Stecker, Supervisor, Modeling and TMDL Unit, discussed additional effluent
monitoring needs for NPDES dischargers at the YPDRBA meeting held October 5, 2007.
These increased nutrient and turbidity monitoring needs are not currently included in your
facility's permit effluent monitoring requirements. Members of YPDRBA have agreed to
perform the additional monitoring for the duration of the two-year study, in order to supply
sufficient data to perform a comprehensive TMDL for High Rock Lake. Although your permit
is not being reopened to include this additional monitoring, should the voluntary monitoring
falter, the Division will reconsider this decision to include the additional monitoring for the
time necessary.
The additional effluent monitoring requirements for your facility are: .

2007 ANNUAL WASTEWATER SYSTEM REPORT
This report covers the calendar year from January 1 through December 31, 2007
On July 21, 1999, North Carolina's Governor signed into law House Bill 1160 (currently N.C. General
Statute Chapter 143, Article 21, Part 1, 143-215.1C), placing reporting requirements on municipalities that
operate wastewater collection and treatment systems. This legislation mandates that Salisbury — Rowan
Utilities publish an annual report informing system users of specific items such as the number of system
overflows, violations of permit conditions or environmental regulations, the impact of any such violations
on the environment, and corrective measures taken to minimize recurrences.
�man Perforce
AWARDS
This year the National Association of Clean Water Agencies recognized the Salisbury -Rowan Wastewater
Treatment Plant with a Gold Award for an outstanding compliance record. The treatment plant had no
NPDES violations and was 100% compliant in 2006.
This report is available on-line at www.salisburyne.gov. Any questions pertaining to this report should be
directed to Environmental Services Manager, Sonja Basinger at 704-216-7539.

Salisbury -Rowan Utilities (SRU) provides wastewater treatment at the Town Creek treatment train located
near Interstate 85 and the Grant Creek treatment train off of Grubb Ferry Road. Combined effluents from
both trains are disinfected with ultraviolet radiation (UV) at the Salisbury -Rowan Wastewater Treatment
plant and discharged into the Yadkin.River.
SRU treats industrial, commercial and residential waste from Salisbury, Landis, China Grove, Spencer,
East Spencer, Rockwell, Faith and Granite Quarry. Gravity sewer lines, force mains and lift stations collect
and pump the wastewater to the treatment trains. An average of 6 million gallons per day is treated using a
process called activated sludge. Trash and rags are first removed by bar screens. Heavy particles such as
sand and grit settle out as the flow slows in the grit chamber. The wastewater is then pumped to aeration
basins, which contain activated sludge. The microorganisms or "bugs" feed on, the wastewater particles.
The process then moves to clarifiers where the "bugs" settle out leaving clear treated wastewater or
effluent. UV is used for disinfection at the Salisbury -Rowan WWTP.
Solids "left over" from the treatment process are separated from the treated effluent by a filter belt press or
plate and frame press. The solid material or "biosolids" that is left is applied to permitted farmland in
Rowan County as a substitute for fertilizer. Only crops grown for animal feed can be raised after biosolids
are applied. SRU's Land Application Program (Permit # WQ001956), Residuals Management,
experienced another successful yeanin 2007. A combined total of 1,538.43 dry tons were land applied
across 273.7 acres of farmland. Salisbury -Rowan Utilities has a total of 1,638.1 acres of land permitted.

SRU operates a North Carolina certified commercial laboratory where tests are run 6 days per week: The
laboratory is supervised by Tim Brown. He can be reached at 704-638-5376.
Salisbury-Rowun WWTP— Permit NCO023884

SUBJECT: Advance Notice of Renewal Application Requirements
Permit NCO023884
Salisbury -Rowan WWTP
Dear Permittee:
Your NPDES permit for a municipally owned/operated,WWTP expires on June 30, 2009. This notice is
being sent to explain the requirements for your permit renewal application.
You are receiving this advance notice because your facility has a permitted flow at or above 1
MGD, or the facility receives industrial [pretreatment] wastewater. If either of these criteria no
longer applies, contact the NPDES Unit'before submitting a renewal application.
Federal (40. CFR 122) and state.(15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal
applications be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. Your renewal application is
due to the Division postmarked no later than January 1.2009: Failure to apply for renewal by the
appropriate deadline may result in a civil penalty assessment or other enforcement activity at the discretion
of the Director.
The _U.S. EPA revised and expanded the application requirements for municipal permits, effective August 1,
2001. EPA form 2A is attached to this Notice, and must be'used for your permit renewal application. The
new application requirements mandate additional effluent testing:
1. Conduct three Priority Pollutant Analyses (PPAs) and submit results with your renewal
application. Collect samples for the PPAs in conjunction with sampling for your current
quarterly toxicity test. The new PPA requirements differ from previous versions: Each PPA
must include:
Analyses for all total recoverable metals listed in Part D of form 2A. This includes metals
that are not normally monitored through your NPDES permit.
➢ Analyses for total phenolic compounds and hardness.
➢ Analyses for all of the volatile organic compounds listed in Part D.
➢ Analyses for all of the acid -extractable compounds listed in Part D..
➢ Analyses for all base -neutral compounds listed in Part D.
➢ Analyses for Total Mercury: must be performed using EPA Method 1631.
2. Conduct four toxicity tests for an organism other than Ceriodaphnia and submit results with
your renewal application. The tests should be conducted quarterly, with samples collected on the
same day as your, current toxicity test. Call the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at [phone] for
guidance in conducting the additional tests.

The pollutant and toxicity analyses described above must accompany your permit renewal
application, or any major permit modification request. The Division cannot draft your permit without the
additional data. Any data submitted cannot be over 41/2 years. old, and must account for, seasonal,
variation (samples cannot be collected during'the same season each year if collected overmultiple years).
PLEASE NOTE: If your existing permit contains a requirement for annual PPAs, additional PPAs
are not required [provided you have conducted at least.3 scans prior to submitting your application].
If any wastewater discharge will occur after the current permit expires, this NPDES permit must be
renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a!valid permit would violate Federal and North Carolina law.
Unpermitted discharges of wastewater could 'result in assessment of civil penalties of up to. $25;000 per day.
Use the checklist below to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you
must submit with the permit renewal application. If all wastewater discharge has ceased at this facility and
you wish to rescind this. permit, please contact me. My telephone number, fax number and e-mail address

Re: Salisbury -Rowan WWTP (NC0023884) Chlorination and Dechlorination Study
Dear Mr. Krebs:
Please be advised that Salisbury -Rowan Utilities (SRU) will begin conducting a 2-week
study on chlorination and dechlorination as an alternative to our ultraviolet disinfection system.
The purpose of this study is to compare operational costs between chlorination and
dechlorination versus ultraviolet disinfection.
SRU will begin the chlorination and dechlorination study on Januaryl4, 2008. SRU will be
using sodium hypochlorite as our chlorine chemical and calcium thiosulfate as our dechlorination
chemical during the study. The chlorine chemical feed pumps will feed at the beginning of the
old chlorine contact chamber at Grant Creek and Town Creek treatment trains. The
dechlorination chemical feed pump will feed just before the Yadkin effluent (YE) sampler at the
UV system. The chemical feed pumps will be manually controlled during this study. The
estimated chlorine chemical feed rate for Grant Creek treatment train is 120 gallons per•day and
30-40 gallons per day for the Town Creek treatment train. The estimated dechlorination chemical
feed rate is 30-40 gallons per day at the Yadkin effluent (YE).
Please contact me at [phone] if you require any additional information, and we
appreciate your assistance in this matter.

Dear Mr. Bell,
Please be advised that Salisbury -Rowan Utilities (SRU) is currently conducting. a
4-month study of dechlonnation alternatives at our Second Creek WWTP, which has experienced
BOD. noncompliance due to influent surges from the Highway-70 (West Middle School) Lift
Station. We had previously been forced by those surges toincrease the calcium tbiosulfate feed,
which unfortunately increased the effluent BOD values resulting in the noncompliance problem.
We are pleased to report that SRU is now using ascorbic acid a& an alternative, and has
subsequently found the BOD and TRC results to be within permit limits..
SRU began the dechlorination study on November 29, 2007. The dechlorination chemical
used originally was calcium thiosulfate at a feed rate of 60/40 ratio feeding 8 to 10 gallons per day.
However, since changing to ascorbic acid at a feed rate of 80/20 ratio feeding 8 to 10 pounds per
week, SRU is now meeting permit limits and has shown an improved operational cost with the
ascorbic acid's current feed rate.
Please contact us at [phone] if you require any additional information, and we
appreciate your assistance in this, matter.

Salisbury -Rowan Utilities (SRU) provides wastewater treatment at the Town Creek treatment train located
near Interstate 85 and the Grant Creek treatment train off of Grubb Ferry Road. Combined effluents from
both trains are disinfected with ultraviolet radiation (UV) at the Salisbury -Rowan Wastewater Treatment
plant and discharged into the Yadkin River.
SRU treats industrial, commercial and residential waste from Salisbury, Landis, China Grove, Spencer,
East Spencer, Rockwell, Faith and Granite Quarry. Gravity sewer lines, force mains and lift stations collect
and pump the wastewater to the treatment trains. An average of 6 million gallons per day is treated using a
process called activated sludge. Trash and rags are first removed by bar screens. Heavy particles such as
sand and grit settle out as the flow slows in the grit chamber. The wastewater is then pumped to aeration
basins, which contain activated sludge. The microorganisms or "bugs" feed on. the wastewater particles.
The process then moves to clarifiers where the "bugs" settle out leaving clear treated wastewater or
effluent. UV is used for disinfection at the Salisbury -Rowan WWTP.
Solids "left over" from the treatment process are separated from the treated effluent by a filter belt press or
plate and frame press. The solid material or "biosolids" that is left is applied to permitted farmland in
Rowan County as a substitute for fertilizer. Only crops grown for animal feed can be raised after biosolids
are applied. SRU's Land Application Program (Permit # WQ001956), Residuals Management,
experienced another successful year in 2007. A combined total of 1,538.43 dry tons were land applied
across 273.7 acres of farmland. Salisbury -Rowan Utilities has a total of 1,638.1 acres of land permitted.

SRU operates a North Carolina certified commercial laboratory where tests are run 6 days per week. The
laboratory. is supervised by Tim Brown. He can be reached at 704-638-5376.

Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for
such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five
factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the
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. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a
stipulation that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted,
and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors
shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation; .
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the
remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your
remission request. The response will provide details regarding case status,
directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider
information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the
Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough
statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed.
"Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality
also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for
Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address:

Second Creek WWTP
Permit NCO078361
Salisbury -Rowan Utilities
Dear Mr. Parker:
Per our conversation on January 9, 2006, Salisbury -Rowan Utilities (SRU) is requesting
permission to aerate the Second Creek WWTP V-notch weir chamber. -
In October and November, SRU was noncompliant with our effluent BOD limits due to the
addition of Calcium Thiosulfate, which was being tested as a dechlorination agent. Lab testing
confirmed that the Calcium Thiosulfate was adding BOD to the plant effluent. Additional lab
tests demonstrated that the BOD will drop; significantly with a small amount of aeration. This
aeration should in no way change the treatment process in the chlorine contact chamber, but will
in turn improve the water quality discharging into Second Creek.
Please accept our appreciation for the assistance provided by you and Mr. Wes Bell during this
project. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact me at 704-638-5374 or cell 704-
202-0640.

Dear Ms. Hamilton:
SUBJECT: Notice of Violation and Assessment of Civil
Penalty for Violations of N.C. General Statute
143-215.1(a)(6) and NPDES Permit No. NCO078361
Salisbury -Rowan Utilities Second Creek WWTP
Rowan County
Case No. LV-2006-0036
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount
of $178.95 ($100.00 civil penalty + $78.95 enforcement costs) against Salisbury -Rowan
Utilities.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the
self -monitoring data from November 2005. This review has shown the subject facility to be in
violation of the discharge limitations and monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit No.
NC0078361. The violations are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law -that Salisbury -Rowan Utilities
violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit No. NCO078361 and North
Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment
A. A civil penalty may be assessed in accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-
215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with
authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, D. Rex Gleason, Surface Water Protection
Regional Supervisor for the Mooresville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty
assessment against Salisbury -Rowan Utilities:

$ 100.00 For 1 of the one (1) violation of G.S. 143-
215.1(a)(6) and NPDES Permit No. NC0078361, by
discharging waste into the waters of the State in
violation of the permit weekly average effluent limit
for BOD.
$ 100.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$ 78.95 Enforcement costs.
$ 178.95 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or, on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior.record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for
such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five
factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the
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. - Because a remission request.
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an -administrative hearing and.a
Stipulation that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted,
and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, thefollowing factors
shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penaltyy assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the .violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the
remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your
remission request. The response will provide details regarding case status,
directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider
information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the
Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough
statement in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed
"Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality
also requests that you complete and submit the'enclosed "Justification for
Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address:

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

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:.
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation_(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source, Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for
contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter.
Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You
must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and
a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violations;
(c) the violations were inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violation;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of
Ms. Coleen Sullins
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water. Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review the information during a bimonthly enforcement conference and inform you
of his decision in the matter of the remission request. His response will provide
details regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for further
appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee
on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee cannot
consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered
by the Director and therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
M
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an
administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to
the Office of Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes. You must:
File your original petition with the
Office of Administrative Hearings
6714 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714
and
Mail or hand -deliver a copy of the petition to
Mr. Dan Oakley, General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Failure to exercise one of the options above within Lhjr1y days, as evidenced by a date
stamp (not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the
penalty.
Please be advised that any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new
enforcement action, including an additional penalty. If you have any questions about this civil
penalty assessment, please contact the Water Quality Section staff of the Mooresville Regional
Office at 704/663-1699.

Dear Mr. Gleason:
OEPT. OF
2 4 2004
I would like to thank you for your quick response regarding the pilot study after such
short notice.
ovQmber,9,,2004-'-
we began our pilot study at 1320 hours. We used Sodium
H *Y09chlorit6 at 6% for disinfection and Calcium Thiosulfate at 30% for dechlorination.
:01
Fee d rates were *sot at 3.5 ml/min or approximately 3 gallons per day. At 1427 our
chlorine residual was 1.67 mg/1 in the contact chamber with a plant effluent of 0.02 mg/l.
At 1510 with a residual of 1.6 mg/l our effluent was <0.02 rng/I with a 0.00 mg/1 reading
on the DR 2000. At 1523 both plant effluent and stream discharge were reading a <0.02
mg/l. We feel there will be no problems meeting the new TRC limits with the results of
our pilot study. Thanks again for your help and quick response.
If you have any questions of concerns, please contact me at 704-638-5374 or cell 704-
202-0640.

$350.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
85.45 Enforcement Costs
$435.45 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the -penalty I have taken into
account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 14313-
2 82. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health,
or to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over
which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment and
Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will not
foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s). Please
submit payment to the attention of:
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

OR
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the reasonableness of
the amount of the penalty and is not.the proper procedure for contesting the accuracy of
any of the statements contained in the assessment letter. Because a remission request .
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be accompanied
by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a stipulation that there are no
factual or legal issues in dispute. You must execute and return to this office the attached
waiver and stipulation form and a detailed statement which you believe establishes
whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b) was
wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting from the
violation;
(c) the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d)" the Aolator'had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violations;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining necessary
remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission must be
submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will review the
information during a.bimonthly.enforcement conference and inform you of his -decision ..;
in the matter of the remission request. His response will provide details regarding case
status, directions for payment and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental- Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions.
Please be advised that the Committee cannot, consider information that was not part of the
original remission request considered by the Director and therefore, it is very important
that you prepare a complete and thorough statement in support of your request for
remission.

3.
OR
Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an
administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to the
Office of Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes. You must
File your original petition with the
Office of Administrative Hearings
6714 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714
and
Mail or hand -deliver a copy of the, petition to
General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days, as evidenced by a date stamp (not
a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter being referred
to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the penalty.
Please be advised that any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new enforcement
action, including an additional penalty. If you have any questions about this civil penalty
assessment, please contact the Water Quality Section staff of the Mooresville Regional Office at
704/663-1699.

Rowan County
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$335.45 ($250.00 civil penalty + $85.45 enforcement costs) against Rowan County.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the
discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Rowan County for the month of November
2002. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations
found in NPDES Permit No. NC0078361. The violations are summarized in Attachment A to this
letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Rowan County violated the
terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit No. NCO078361 and North Carolina General
Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A. A civil penalty
may be assessed in accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with
authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and
the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, D. Rex Gleason, Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Mooresville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against
Rowan County:

discharging waste into the waters of the State in
violation of the permit daily maximum effluent limit
for Fecal Coliform.
$ 2 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$ 85.45 Enforcement costs.
$ �2 Is, TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
2 82. 1 (b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, .to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violation;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violation;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
(8) . The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such. request:

A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the. proper procedure for
contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter.
Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You
must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and
a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 14313-282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violations;
(c) the violations were inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violation;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Ms. Coleen Sullins
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review the information during a bimonthly enforcement conference and inform you
of his decision in the matter of the remission request. His response will provide
details regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for further
appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's Committee
on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee cannot
consider information that was not part of the original remission request considered
by the Director and therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and
thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an
administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to
the Office of Administrative Hearings and must conform to .Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes. You must:

File your original petition with the
Office of Administrative Hearings
6714 Mail Service Center '
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714
and
Mail or hand -deliver a copy of the petition to
Mr. Dan Oakley, General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Failure to exercise one of the options above. within thirty days, as evidenced by a date
stamp (not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter being
referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect the
penalty.
Please be advised that any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new
enforcement action, including an additional penalty. If you have any questions about this civil
penalty assessment, please contact the Water Quality Section staff of the Mooresville Regional

I. FINDINGS OF FACT:
A. RowanCounty is a goverment entity organized and existing under the laws of the
State of North Carolina.
B. Rowan County operates a 0.03 MGD wastewater treatment plant (North Second
Creek WWTP) in Rowan County, which discharges treated wastewater through
Outfall 001 to North Second Creek in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin.
C. Rowan County was issued NPDES Permit No. NC0078361 on March 21, 2000,
effective May 1, 2000, with an expiration date of July 31, 2004. The review period
for the relevant self -monitoring reports included the previous permit issued on July
29, 1994, effective September 1, 1994, with an expiration date of July 31, 1999.
Permit modifications were granted by the Division on April 10, 1995 for the removal
of the 28 ,ug/l chlorine limit. On June 9, 1995 influent composite sampling was
changed to influent grab sampling and on June 1, 1998 the instream monitoring
requirements were waived due to the facility's participation in the Yadkin -Pee Dee
River Basin Association. The expiration date remained unchanged.
D. Said permit contains -the following relevant monitoring requirements:

1. The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or
to private property resulting from the violations:
No harm has been measured or documented:
2. The duration and gravity of the violations:
The violations occurred during the period from April 1999 through February. 2000.
3. -The effect on ground or surface water quantity or. quality or on air quality:
No adverse effects have been documented.
4. The cost of rectifying the damage:
No environmental damage has been documented.
5. The amount of money saved by noncompliance:
The contract operator firm hired by Rowan County pays a contract laboratory (Statesville
Analytical) to perform the biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), total suspended solids
(TSS), and conductivity analyses. Statesville Analytical charges $16.00 for each BOD
analysis, $10.00 for each TSS analysis, and $5.00 for each conductivity analysis. The total
amount of money saved by failing to monitor for BOD, TSS, and conductivity according to
the NPDES Permit requirements was $993.00 (38 x $16.00 + 38 x.$10.00 + 1 x $5.00 =
$993.00).

6. Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally:
There is no evidence to suggest that the violations were committed intentionally.
7. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which
the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority:
A civil penalty (Case No. LV 97-015) of $3, 017.45 was assessed on January 21,
1998 for violations of permitted biochemical oxygen. demand, total suspended
solids, and fecal coliform limits. Rowan County requested a remission of the'. civil
penalty on February 16,1998, which was denied on April 8, T998. The civil penalty was paid
in full on May. 6, 199.8.
8. The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures:
Central Office Review and Processing = $100.00
8.0 hours by investigator for investigating and
drafting report @ $16.40/hour = $131.20
1.0 hour for Supervisory review @ $37.70/hour = $ 37.70
1.0 hour for clerical support @ $15.00/hour = $ 15.00
TOTAL = $283.90
9. Type of violator and general nature of business (i.e. individual vs. large corporation):.
The violator is a government entity.
10. Violator's degree of cooperation (including efforts to prevent or restore) or recalcitrance:
The violator appears to be cooperative in addressing violations at the facility.
11. Mitigating Circumstances:
The North Second Creek WWTP was originally constructed to serve an industrial facility
owned by Quantum Performance Films. Quantum . Performance Films ceased the
construction of their industrial facility in Rowan County and removed all on -site equipment.
The WWTP never received any wastewater from this industrial facility. The site is currently
vacant and has been available to be purchased for several years. The West Rowan Middle
School was connected to the North Second Creek. WWTP due to the convenient location of
the WWTP. The only contributor of wastewater to the North Second Creek WWTP has been
from this school. The effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for this WWTP are
based on the facility's municipal ownership. (SIC Code 4952) while the only wastewater
being treated is from a school. Rowan County's comments regarding the permit
requirements relative to the "municipal" designation are as follows: '

Rowan County - North Second Creek WWTP
Assessment Factors
Page Three
In the March 13, 1997 response letter to the compliance evaluation inspection (CBI) report
dated February 24, 1997, the county had indicated that a permit modification request would
be submitted to waive the 85% removal requirement and to change the composite sampling
requirement to grab. However, no permit modification request was ever submitted to the
Division.
The county's August 27, 1998 response letter to the CEI report dated June 30, 1998 had
specifically requested a permit modification upon application for the permit renewal in
early 1999.. The county attached a letter dated January 29, 1999 to. the permit renewal
application that included a permit modification request to waive the influent monitoring
requirement. The Division issued a draft permit on October 27, 1999 that contained the
following stipulation on the effluent limitation/monitoring requirements page:
"The monthly average BOD5 and Total Suspended Residue
concentrations shall not exceed 15% of the respective influent value
(85% removal). The 85% .removal and the influent sampling
requirements for BOD and TSR are effective only upon connecting
any additional users (commercial or industrial) other than the existing
school system."
The county did not submit any objections to the draft permit; however, the new permit which
was issued on March 21, 2000, with an effective date of May 1, 2000 and an expiration date
of July 31, 2004, .did not include this stipulation. A revised draft permit without the
stipulation was never resubmitted to the county for comment. The county is currently in the
process of requesting a permit modification to include the stipulation included with the draft
permit's 85% removal requirement.
The county had replaced contract operator firms in February 1997. The CEI's since 1997
have indicated that the facility had been properly operated and well maintained. The
facility has reported only two limit violations (weekly average total suspended residue
violation in April and October 1998) from January 1997 through March 2000. Note: The
previously employed contract operator firm reported influent BOD and TSR values.

Subject: Response to NOV/Recommendation for Enforcement
North Second Creek WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO078361
Rowan County, NC
Dear Mr. Bridgeman:
I am writing to respond in the above -referenced matter in accordance with
the request in the referenced document. A copy of this Notice has been
forwarded to' our contract ORC for his information and input to this response.
It appears from the Compliance Inspection.�Report associated with this
matter that all evaluated areas were rated satisfactory except for the area of self -
monitoring. I will .address each specific item in the -order it appears in the report.
• Failure to report influent BOD and TSS during review period (76
violations).
This item (85% removal requirement) has been the subject of numerous
discussions with the staff in the regional office dating back to at least
1996. In practice, this facility is nothing more than a package treatment
plant for domestic waste from West Rowan Middle School ("a school
system"). Due to its ownership by Rowan County instead of the Rowan
County Schools, it is classified as a POTW, automatically imposing the
85% removal requirement. While this plant was constructed for the
purpose of serving an. industrial client, that has never materialized in
more than 8 years of operation. Based on. a .regional office staff
recommendation, I initiated the process for a permit modification in the
latter part -of 1996 to have this WWTP reclassified from SIC 4952
(POTW) to SIC 7200 (school system, or something more reflective 'of its
Equal Opportunity Employer
17.0 recycled paper

actual character). I have been unable to locate my records of that
modification request and it appears that I may have failed to follow
through at that time with the permit modification process. Based on
notes made by our current ORC (attached) that reflect our conversation
at that time, it appears that his belief was that this requirement would be
removed. Based on that information, our new operator took over
operations of the plant in early 1997 without including these services and
I have failed to recognize the deficiency. In Mr. Overcashs': defense, as
an operator of several similar if not identical systems, he probably didn't
question the omission as it is not a typical requirement for facilities of this
type.
• Failure to report effluent dissolved oxygen for the week of August 29
— September 4, 1999.
It appears that -this item was missed by the operator due to a change of
months in the this
of the week. It is possible that he thought he had
his weekly sample early in the. week and when he changed over to
September on Wednesday of that week, he failed to look back and see
that he still needed to sample for that parameter.
• Failure to report effluent conductivity for the week of February 20 —
February26.
This appears to,,be an error of omission. I cannot offer any other
explanation at this point.
The following points are relevant to this matter and should be considered
as mitigating circumstances:
• The plant has been in compliance except for these errors of
omission since early 1997.
• If the permit for this facility accurately reflected its character,
the.85% removal requirement would be a moot point.
• Three.previous compliance inspections failed to recognize this
deficiency..
• Most importantly, despite the seriousness of failing to comply
with the printed permit, no actual environmental impact can be
attributed to these violations.
As you are.aware, a draft permit,issued for this facility on October 27, 1999
reflected the changes previously discussed. However, the final permit issued on
March 21, 2000 did not 'reflect these changes. Consequently, efforts are
presently underway. to resolve this discrepancy and hopefully obtain a permit that
is appropriate for this facility. In the meantime, you can be assured that Rowan
County will take whatever measures are necessary to achieve compliance with

our current permit. I have directed our operator to immediately begin the
sampling and analysis in full accordance with the current permit until directed in
writing to do otherwise.
I sincerely regret my failure to comply with our permit and apologize for the
additional regulatory measures it necessitates. I look forward to a successful
resolution of this matter. If 1 can be of further assistance, please contact me as
indicated on this letterhead.

forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of.your right to an administrative hearing and a

statement that establishes why you, believe the civil penalty should be remitted,
and submit it to the. Division of Water -Quality at the address listed below. In

(2) whether the violator promptlyabated continuing environmental damage
resulting from,the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any -previous
violations; or.
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the
remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your
remission request. The response. will provide details regarding case status,

action.

$ 430.15 TOTAL. AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S.•14313-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violations ,were committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
(8) ` The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:

Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
161-7 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
No
2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for
such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five
factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the
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. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and'a
stipulation that no factual or .legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted,
and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors
shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282. 1 (b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the
remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your
remission request. The response will provide details regarding case status,
directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider
information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the
Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough
statement in support of your request for remission.

In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed
"Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality
also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for
Remission Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
