March 10, 2009 . MAR 1 6 2009 Ms. Pamela E. Ford Hill Haven Residential Care 224 Augusta Drive . Statesville, N.C. 28625 Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit NCO045012 Hill Haven Residential Care WWTP Iredell County Dear Ms. Ford: Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October.15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended). This final permit includes no major changes from the draft permit sent to you on January 14, 2009. Your WWTP shall not discharge any wastewater until the Facility Certification required in Part A. (2) has been received and approved by the Division. We remind you, that Third Creek is listed as an impaired stream on North'Carohna's 303(d) list. This means that the stream does not meet all water quality standards. The Division is working toward the improvement of water quality in Third Creek. If the current changes to permits discharging to Third Creek do not result in improved water quality, removal of discharges to Third Creek may be necessary for the health of the stream. Although the Division believes non -point sources [including agricultural runoff] are the main cause of degradation to Third Creek, we will continue to monitor compliance at your facility. If noncompliance with your permit's effluent limits is shown to be a direct cause of stream degradation, the Divisionmill recommend removal of your facility's discharge. Part III of your permit requires you to "continually evaluate all wastewater disposal alternatives and pursue the most environmentally sound alternative of the reasonably cost effective alternatives'.' to surface water discharge.. Such an evaluation may help you find an alternative to surface water discharge that is more appropriate for your facility. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 One 7 512 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 North Carohna Phone: 919 807-63001 FAX 919 807-6495 I Internet: www.ncwaterquality.org Natunally An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer — 50% Recycledl10% Post Consumer Paper If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter.

NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 1 of 16 PART II STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS Section A. Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling. events. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. Act or "the Act". The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average, The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. B ass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Day The period from midnight of, one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July _ through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may. designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of. aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samplesmay be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable ' volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time, of individual sample collection, or (3) Variable .time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the' time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between'sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (4) Constant'time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a'24-hour period at a constant time interval. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The following restrictions also apply: ➢ Influent and effluent grab samples shall be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters Version 1011012007 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 2 of 16 ➢ Influent samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time < 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period. ➢ Permittees with wastewater treatment systems whose detention time exceeds 24 hours shall collect effluent grab samples at least every X hours [X = days detention time] over a 24-hour period. Effluent samples shall be collected at least every six hours; there must be a minimum of four samples during a 24- hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.2) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" for conventional and other non -toxicant parameters. NOTE: Permittees may not submit a "daily average" calculation [for determining compliance with permit limits] for toxicants. See the relevant Federal effluent guideline[s] for the appropriate calculation interval. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DM or "the Division" The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. Facility Closure The cessation of wastewater treatment it a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage .under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth toot of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream samples). Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. Version 1011012007 NPDES Permit Standard Conditions Page 3 of 16 Instantaneous flow measurement. A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling; when both the sample `and flow will be representative of the total discharge. Monthly Average (concentration Emit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration limit The average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe,property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. U set An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error; improperly designed treatment . facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.

Iredell County Dear Madam: I received the renewal notice for the above NPDES Permit on Saturday, June 19, 2004. In our telephone conversation on June 11, 2004, I explained that I had never received the first renewal notice dated January, 2004. Hill Haven is not operating at the present time; therefore, I can only assume that since there is no mail delivery to the 114 Hill Haven Road address, that the post office did not forward the first notice to my home address, which is now the address for Hill Haven. Had I received the original notice of renewal, I would have responded within the proper time limit. I have always complied with time requirements in the past, and am well aware of the importance of doing so; therefore, I respectfully request that the enclosed application be allowed to renew NPDES Permit 0045012. Please be advised that the septic system is pumped when the ORC gives notification. Lentz Septic Tank Service last pumped the tanks on April 16, 2003.

Subject: NPDES Permit No. NCO045012 Hill Haven Residential Care WWTP Iredell County, NC Dear Ms. Ford: Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NCO045012 was issued on December 15, 2004 for the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and the liabilities in the event of failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular importance is Page 4. Page 4 sets forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your discharge. Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed "Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on reporting forms furnished or approved by this Agency. If you have not received these forms, they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting form (DWQ Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form. It is imperative that all applicable parts be completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required. Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee may be required for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our Raleigh Office.

The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by this Agency. Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation (and/or criminal penalties) may be assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that you are unable to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit, you should contact this Office immediately. A Special Order by Consent (SOC) may be necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance. As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a five-year period. Permits are not automatically renewed.. Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180 days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of your Permit. This date is set forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not automatically transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that the Division of Water Quality rescind the Permit or request that DWQ reissue the Permit to another party, if necessary. As mentioned previously, the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of your NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing any assistance. incerely, D.

Definitions 2/Month Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events. 3/Week Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. Annual Average The arithmetic mean. of all "daily discharges"_ of -a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Arithmetic Mean The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values. Bypass The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility. Calendar Dav The period from -midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. Calendar Quarter One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. Composite Sample A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods: (1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow. (2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample_ collection, or (3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fined at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary less than 15 percent. The grab samples - shall be taken at intervals of no greater .than 20 minutes apart during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director. Version 6/20/2003 NPDES Permit Requirements Page 2 bf 16 In accordance with (4)-above, influent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour. Effluent grab samples shall not be. collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period. Continuous flow measurement Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. Daily Discharge The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3) Daily Maximum The highest "daily discharge" during the calendar month. Daily Sampling Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s). DWQ or "the Division" The Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment and Natural Resources. EMC The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. Facility Closure The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility, or the cessation of all activities that require coverage under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded. Geometric Mean The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of "0" (or "< [detection level]") shall be considered = 1. Grab Sample Individual samples of at least 100 ml collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be collected manually. Grab samples must. be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, fox 'instream samples). Hazardous Substance Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. Instantaneous flow measurement A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. Version 6/20/2003 NPDES Permit Requirements Page 3 of 16 Monthly Averagg(concentration limit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Permit Issuing Authority The Director of the Division of Water Quality. Quarterly Average (concentration limit) The average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. Severe property damage Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production. Toxic Pollutant: Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. Upset An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An upset does not include noncompliance caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. Weekly Average (concentration lirnit) The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar week. In. the case of fecal coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges. Section B. General Conditions 1. Duty to Comply The Permittee must comply with all conditions of this permit.

Title 15A of the North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2B, Section .0506 enumerates specific reporting requirements applicable to holders of NPDES permits issued by the State of North Carolina. 15A NCAC 2B .0506 (a)(1)(E) states that permittees must continue to submit monthly discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) to the Division of Water Quality, even when there is no discharge from the facility during the reporting period. This requirement may be waived by the Director of the Division of Water Quality during extended periods of no discharge. I have reviewed your correspondence of August 23, 2005 which described the current status of the Hill Haven facility. You note that the facility has been closed for three years and no influent is entering the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP). After reviewing your letter and considering the recommendation of the staff of the Mooresville Regional Office, I have agreed to waive the requirement to submit monthlMRs for the subiect facility, effective with the August 2005 DMR. Additionally, I hereby waive the requirement for operator visitation at this facility. Please keep the Surface Water Protection Section of the Mooresville Regional Office apprised of any pertinent developments that arise regarding the future use of this facility. After such a long period of inactivity, you may face operational challenges if the facility is reopened and the WWTP is again put in use. The Mooresville Regional Office staff will be able to assist you and your operator as you look toward restarting the WWTP. Please be aware that if the WWTP does resume operations, visitation, monitoring and reporting must also resume as required by the terms of the permit and North Carolina's environmental laws. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 512 N.

Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. 5. Mass/Day Measurements a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and thendividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and./or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during. such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit. Part II Page 2 of 14 6. Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during -a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the 'counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum .Daily Concentration". It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily. discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal'to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge' averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken. over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the- "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part 1. - f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly. Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit. g.

"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation. b. Effect of an.upset. An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such technology, based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragrapht c. of this condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that noncompliance was caused by upset,', pset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final administrative action subject to judicial review. c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset. A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate, through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence,that: (1) An upset occurred and that the pernuttee can identify the causes) of the upset; (2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and (3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6.

Iredell County . The Division received your permit renewal application on April 12, 1999. Thank you for submitting this package in a timely fashion. The permit renewal for this facility will be assigned to a member of the NPDES Unit staff. That staff member will contact you if further information is needed to complete the permit renewal. I regret to inform you that we have lost several staff members in the past few months - the NPDES Unit currently has four vacant positions. This staff shortage is causing delays in our processing of permit renewals. Our remaining staff are currently reviewing Authorizations to Construct, speculative limit requests, major permit modifications and 201 plan reviews ahead of permit renewals. This is necessary due to a variety of factors, including mandatory deadlines in the statutes which govern our program. If this staff shortage delays reissuance of NC0045012, the existing requirements in your permit will remain in effect until the permit is renewed (or other action is taken by the Division).

In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be. no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of Treater than 24 hours. In such cases; effluent. grab samples may be collected it time intervals evenly spaced over the 2s hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval betty een effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period. b.

DEM or Division Means the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources. 3. EM Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. 4. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 1251, et. seq. 5. Mass/Day Measurements a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday -Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant .calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit. Part II Page 2 of 14 d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit. 6. Concentration Measurement a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetici mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is thearithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. .The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for. fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as 'Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I. Part II Page 3 of 14 f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit. g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and October through December. 7. Other Measurements a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge. c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there maybe no flow or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device. 8. Types o� les a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of. (1) a series.of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample collection, or (2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over.a 24 hour period with the time intervals between samples. determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between 'sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or (3) a single,- continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow. In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment _ systems having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time:interval between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period. b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. 9. Calculation of Means a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values. divided by the number of individual values. Part H Page 4 of 14 b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values. is the Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms Of the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1). c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. . 10. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any, consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 11. Hazardous Substance A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. 12. Toxic Pollutant A. toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. SECTION B.

Z CHRONIC TOXICITY TESTING REQUIREMENT (QRTRLY) The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit chronic toxicity in any two consecutive toxicity tests, using test procedures outlined in: 1.) The North Carolina Ceriodaphnia chronic effluent bioassay procedure (North Carolina Chronic Bioassay Procedure.- Revised *June 1988) or subsequent versions. The effluent concentration at which there may be no observable inhibition of reproduction or significant mortality is -0 % (defined as treatment two in the North Carolina procedure document). The permit holder shall perform quarterly monitoring using this procedure to establish compliance with the permit condition. The first test will be performed after thirty days from issuance of this permit during the months of AAA, -Tint Sri, Pae . Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes. - All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the month in which it was performed, using the parameter code TGP3B. Additionally, DEM Form AT-1 (original) is to be sent to the following address: Attention: Environmental Sciences Branch North Carolina Division of Environmental Management P.O. Box 27687 Raleigh, N.C. 27611 Test data shall be complete and accurate and include all supporting chemical/physical measurements pe.rfomled in association with the toxicity tests, as well as all dose/response data. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream. Should any single quarterly monitoring indicate a failure to meet specified limits, then monthly monitoring will begin immediately until such time that a single test is passed. Upon passing, this monthly test requirement will revert to quarterly in the months specified above. Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be, re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits. NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum control organism survival and appropriate environmental controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate retesting(within 30 days of initial monitoring event). Failure to submit suitable test results will constitute noncompliance with monitoring requirements. 7Q10 0.3o cfs Permited Flow o , of I3 MGD IWC% 8. 4 9 Basin & Sub -basin 03a7 0G ( 1100� Receiving Stream (4r TliaD nmK County XPeta-u.

Rex Gleason PREPARED BY: Larry D., Coble t— SUBJECT: Amendment to Permit No. NC 0045012 Hill Haven Nursing Home I'redell County, North Carolina Attached is a letter dated March 31, 1983 from Mr. Homer P. Edwards, owner of Hill Haven Nursing Home. The letter requests that the subject Permit be amended to delete influent monitoring requirements. The subject Permit was issued January 13, 1981 for the continued operation of an existing 18,000 gpd wastewater treatment system consisting of dual septic tanks, dual sand filter and effluent disinfection facilities. Investigations by the Mooresville Regional Office staff have found that there is no provision made for influent sampling on the existing facility. It is also the staffs opinion that influent samples would show little variation over time and are not necessary for the proper operation of the facility. Therefore, it is recommended that the Permit be amended to delete influent monitoring as requested. If you have any questions, please advise.

Please review this draft permit carefully to ensure your thorough understanding of the information, conditions, and requirements it contains. The draft permit includes the following significant changes from the existing permit: ➢ A new Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) compliance level of 50 µg/L has been added. See section A. (1) for details. ➢ A facility certification condition has been added. Due to the poor condition of the WWTP since it ceased discharging, all components must be inspected and certified by a Professional Engineer prior to any future discharge [see A. (2) for details]. Please be aware that Third Creek is listed as an impaired stream on North Carolina's � 3 03(d) list. This means that the stream does not meet all water quality. standards. The Division is working toward the improvement of water quality in Third Creek. If the current changes to permits discharging to Third Creek do not result in improved water quality, removal of discharges to Third Creek may. be necessary for the health of the stream. Although the Division believes non -point sources [including agricultural runoff] are the main cause of degradation to Third Creek, we will continue to monitor compliance at your facility. If noncompliance with your permit's effluent limits is shown to be a direct cause of stream degradation, the Division will recommend removal of your facility's discharge. Part.III of your permit requires you to "continually evaluate all wastewater disposal alternatives and pursue the most environmentally sound alternative of the reasonably cost effective alternatives" to surface water discharge. Such an evaluation may help you find an alternative to surface water discharge that is more appropriate for your facility. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 512 North Salisbury Street, Raleigh, North Carolina 27604 Phone: 919 807-6391 / FAX 919 807-6495 / Internet: www.ncwaterquality.org An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer — 50% Recycled/10% Post Consumer Paper NorthCarohna Nahmally With this notification, the, Division will solicit public comment on this draft permit by publishing a notice in newspapers having circulation in the general Iredell County area, per EPA requirements.

FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE: The facility's business operations have ceased since March 13, 2003. There are currently no patients or employees at this facility. Only one septic tank and sandfilter were utilized during operation- The surrounding grounds were heavily vegetated. In addition, the chamber that houses the tablet chlorinator did not have a cover (noted in the 3/23/01 inspection report)- Sticks, leaves, etc. was observed ins -de of the chamber. A lid should be placed on top of this chlorination chamber to prevent the accumulation of -debris and to remove a potential safety hazard. Please be advised that the Permit requires that the facility be properly operated and maintained at all times. The permittee must ensure that adequate equipment is provided to properly operate and maintain the facility at all times. The facility hired a new contract operations firm (beginning September 2002) to assume the duties associated with the NPDES Permit. The facility is staffed with appropriately certified operators. The ORC and staff were very knowledgeable of all treatment processes and equipment utilized at this facility. LABORATORY: Statesville Analytical (Certification #440) of Statesville, N.C. has been contracted to provide analytical support. All on -site field analyses'are performed under the certified laboratory's certification. The laboratory instrumentation utilized for field analyses appeared to be properly calibrated. EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:' The facility was not discharging at the time of the inspection. The discharge outfall was heavily vegetated, but accessible at the time of the inspection. The nermittee and ORC must ensure that the discharge outfall is accessible for sample collection/analysis and inspection_ of the receiving stream. SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM: Self -monitoring reports were reviewed for the period April 2002 through March 2003, inclusive. Note: The facility hired a new contract, operations firm in September 2002. A daily maximum fecal coliform violation was reported on August 13, 2002. The Division has previously addressed this violation. The following monitoring violations were noted: - No effluent total nitrogen and total phosphorus were reported for the third quarter of 2002. - Only one TRC value was reported for the weeks of June 30 through July 6, July 7 through July 13, July 14 through July 20, July 21 through July 27, July 28 through August 3, the entire month of August 2002, and December 29, 2002 through January 4, 2003. No operator time on -site was documented on April 25, 2002. The compliance status was not checked for the June 2002 DMR. The back of the September 2002 DMR was not completely documented. The phrase "no flow" was reported on September 24 and 25; however, pE and TRC values were reported. A 117.1" mg/l TRC value was reported on January 13, 2003; however, this value appears to be a transcription error (TRC values typically ranged from 0-5 - 0.7 mg/1 at this facilitv). The ORC and permittee must ensure that all DNRs are accurate and complete before submittal to the Division. Please resubmit amended DMRs if any of the above noted discrepancies were transcription errors. All samples (reviewed at the laboratory) appeared to be properly preserved and meet the required holding times. FLOW MEASUREMENT: The flog.' is measured instantaneously by the bucket and stop watch method. The facility has not incorporated a dose cou:-iter measurement system as recommended ir. previous inspection reports.

This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Hill Haven Residential Care, Inc. for the month of August 2002. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge limitations found in NPDES Permit No. NC0045012. The violations are summarized in Attachment Ato this letter. Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Hill Haven Residential Care, Inc. violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES .Permit No. NCO045012 and North Carolina General Statute (G:S.) 143 215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A.

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) (8) 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; The duration and gravity of the violation; The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; The cost of rectifying the damage; The amount of money saved. by noncompliance; Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and 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 27699-1.617 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. KO 3. Submit a written request for an administrative bearing: 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.

PERMIT: The permit authorizes the continued operation of an existing 0.018 MGD wastewater treatment system consisting of two septic tanks, two surface sandfilters, and effluent chlorination. The permit for this facility became effective on 3/l/00 and expires on 7/31/04. A permit modification was issued by the Division on 4/2/01 regarding a change in the sampling frequency for effluent temperature from daily to weekly. RECORDS AND REPORTS: The Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC)/maintenance log and calibration data were reviewed at the time of the inspection. In addition, the chain of custody forms and laboratory analyses were reviewed at the certified laboratory contracted to provide analytical support (See Self - Monitoring Section). The calibration of laboratory instruments was not documented properly (See Laboratory Section). FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE: Only one septic tank and sandfilter are currently being utilized. The facility was not well maintained at the time of the inspection. The facility had repaired the distribution box and adjacent wall; however, a leak was observed underneath the patched areas. In addition, abundant vegetation was observed in the filter bed and one of the laterals was leaking at the wall junction. Solids had not been removed from the filter bed. The vegetation on the surrounding grounds was dense and not maintained. The second (unused) filter bed system was in poor condition. The chlorine contact chamber did not have a cover to prevent the accumulation of sticks, leaves, etc. Please be advised that the NPDES Permit requires that the facility be properly operated and maintained at all times. Failure to provide the appropriate operation and maintenance can subject the facility to possible civil penalties. The ORC indicated that the Hill Haven maintenance personnel are responsible for the WWTP maintenance. The facility is staffed with one Grade I ORC. A certified back-up operator has been designated (Steve Overcash - Overcash Environmental) when the ORC is unable to visit the facility. Rating: Unsatisfactory (This section is rated unsatisfactory due to the poor operation and maintenance at this facility) LABORATORY: Statesville Analytical (Certification #440) of Statesville, N.C. has been contracted to provide analytical support. The lab was not evaluated during this inspection. The TRC meter was in poor condition at the time of the inspection. The meter had been dropped and the glass cover had been removed. All meters must be properly maintained at all times. This office recommends the replacement of the TRC meter. Hill Haven WWTP Page Three LABORATORY cont'd: The annual calibration curve was not available at the time of the inspection. The certified lab was contacted and the last annual calibration performed on this instrument was February 2000. In addition, the ORC indicated that a midrange check standard was not utilized/verified during each day of meter usage. Please be advised that the TRC meter must be calibrated either annually with five standards, and a verification of a blank and midrange check standard every day the meter is used, or a verification of a blank and three standards every day the meter is used (Ref: Standard Methods, 18th Edition - Method 1020B Quality Control (5) pages 1-5). The pH meter appeared to be properly calibrated; however, the value for the check standard was not documented to ensure the .value is within 0.1 unit of the check standard (Ref: Standard Methods, 18th Edition -Method 4500-H+ B). The calibration of the laboratory instruments is poorly documented. The ORC should develop a separate log that includes the required calibration documentation (for the laboratory instruments) during each day of usage. In addition, the ORC should view the Division's Laboratory Certification Unit's website that contains the technical guidance for field parameter testing (including proper instrument calibration and appropriate documentation) at www.esb.enr.state.nc:us/lab/field parmguide.htm. Mr. Chet Whiting with the Division's Laboratory Certification Unit can be contacted at 704-663-1699 ext. 297 for additional guidance. Rating: Unsatisfactory (This section is rated Unsatisfactory due to the ORC's failure to properly document and calibrate the laboratory instruments) EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS: The effluent discharge was clear with no visible suspended solids or foam. The facility discharges into an unnamed tributary to Third Creek, which is a Class C water in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. The receiving stream did not appear to be negatively impacted. The discharge outfall was accessible at the time of the inspection. A review of the DMRs have.indicated numerous TRC values in excess of 28gg/l. Be aware that a stream action level of 17,ug/1 has been established for total residual chlorine for chronic toxicity effects. An action level of 28/.cg/1 has been set as the maximum allowable effluent concentration to protect the receiving stream against acute toxicity effects. Please maintain the total residual chlorine concentration as low as possible, while still complying with fecal coliform limits. SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM: Self -monitoring reports were reviewed for the period April 2001 through March 2002, inclusive. A fecal coliform violation occurred on l/9/02 (480 colonies/100 mis); however, the value was incorrectly transcribed as 48 colonies/100 mis.' An amended DMR shall be resubmitted along with any additional DMRs for inadvertent transcription errors. The following monitoring violations were noted: - No effluent total nitrogen and total phosphorus were reported for the third and fourth quarters of 2001. Bill haven WWTP Page Four SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM cont'd: - Only one BOD, ammonia, total suspended residue, and fecal coliform were reported for October 2001. - Only one TRC value was reported for the weeks of October 21 through 27, 2001 and January 6 through January 12, January 13 through January 19, January 20 through January 26, and January 27 through February 2, 2002. - No flow was reported for the week of October 21 through October 27, 2001. A review of the DMRs with the laboratory analyses indicated an incorrect fecal coliform value was reported on the November 2001 DMR. The fecal coliform value should have been reported as <1 colonies/100 mis.; however, 1 colony/100 mis. was reported. A total nitrogen value was incorrectly calculated on the March 2002 DMR. When values reported as < the method detection level are reported, then the value shall be considered as zero for calculation purposes. A resampled fecal coliform value was placed on the incorrect date (reported on 2/21/02 - resampled on 2/14/02). The ORC and permittee must ensure that all DMRs are accurate and complete before submittal to the Division. The effluent sample times were not reported for the on -site parameters performed at the facility (pH, TRC, and temperature). All data required for sample collection and sample analyses shall be documented in accordance with Standard Methods, 18th Edition, 1060 B and the NPDES Permit. Rating: Unsatisfactory (This section is rated unsatisfactory due to the numerous monitoring violations) FLOW MEASUREMENT: The flow is not being measured according to the permit requirements. Currently, the flow is being estimated; however, the permit requires instantaneous flow measurements. The facility has been previously cited for failure to report representative flow data. In addition, the facility has not incorporated a dose counter measurement system as recommended in previous inspection reports. Rating: Unsatisfactory (This section is rated unsatisfactory the failure to measure flows according to the permit requirements) SLUDGE DISPOSAL: Septage is removed on an as -needed basis by Lentz Septic Tank Service, Inc. of Statesville, N.0 and disposed at an approved land application site in Iredell County. . SEWER OVERFLOW: Please be advised that pursuant to Part II, Section E of your NPDES permit, and North Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection system, pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion of the wastewater shall be reported to the central office or the appropriate regional office (Mooresville Regional Office 704-663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the permittee became aware of the bypass. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours Hill Haven WWTP Page Five SEWER OVERFLOW cont'd: may also be reported to the Division's Emergency Response personnel at 800-662-7956, 800-858- 0368, or 919-733-3300. A written report shall also be provided within five (5) days of the time of the incident. The report shall contain a description of the bypass, and its cause; the period of the bypass, including exact dates and times, and if the bypass has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken (or planned) to reduce, eliminate, and prevent recurrence of the similar. events. Any spill that reaches surface waters (i.e. any spill that reaches any water already present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill greater than 1,000 gallons on the ground that does not reach surface waters must be reported. An adequate spill response for . those spills reaching surface waters should include an evaluation downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a fish kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen and pH measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH measurements at multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative impact. Failure to report the bypass of collection system, pumping station or treatment facility subjects violators to penalties of up to $25,000.00 per day per violation. Complete items 1, 2, and 3.

We now have a clear understanding of exactly what is to be done by whom.I will see to it myself that the filter bed stays clean and grass free , and Mr, Overcash for the time being will continue to monitor our water as he has been under contract for the last four years . I apologize for not monitoring closer myself , but certainly intend to do so in the future. As far as water quality, and sampling I have to depend on Mr, Overcash to inform me of any irregularities, thus far he has not mentioned any problem areas. Thank ...you for bringing this to my attention and if you have any further questions or comments please contact me .Please find enclosed photographs of the filter bed area which was cleaned on 7/10/02 . If you can recommend anyone else who can monitor filter beds please let me know. Sincerely , Mr. Tom Kincaid. r jr� NC DEPT. OF ENVIRONMENT UOORESVILLEP53iONAI,!°;= I j i "`.
