Description of Treatment Process
Town of Maiden
Timothy R Hedrick, ORC
NCO039594
January 1, 2017 — December 31, 2017
The Town of Maiden owns and operates a 1.0 MGD Sequencing Batch Reactor
Wastewater Treatment System. -
The Town of Maiden SBR Process consists of two large SBR tanks where
raw water is treated after preliminary treatment (screening and grit removal). At
any point in time the SBR's have a minimum level of 9.1 feet. The 9.1 feet in each
SBR basin is reserved for the correct concentration of microorganisms. For 120
minutes one of the SBR's will accept raw wastewater while intermittingly mixing
and aerating called the react fill stage. Once the 120 minute react fill stage is
complete the other basin will begin accepting influent as it starts its cycles. The
next stage, after react fill, is a 30 minute react stage where the basin is adequately
mixed and aerated to further treat the raw water with the microorganisms, with no
additional influent being added during this cycle. After the react stage the SBR
falls into a settling mode where the sludge settles and then the treated water is
decanted with a mechanical decanter to an equalization basin for controlled release
to the contact chamber for disinfection. After adequate disinfection with sodium
hypochlorite the clean effluent has the chorine residual removed with sodium
bisulfite and is then discharged into Clack's Creek.

At the end of each 4 hour cycle each SBR wastes from the settled sludge for a
programmed time interval. The wasted sludge is pumped over and stored in one of
two available aerobic digesters where it digests until the sludge is hauled to the
Veolia Compost Plant in Hickory. During sludge hauling operations the digester
blowers are usually taken out of service to allow the sludge to settle and compact,
so we can decant the clear water that develops on the d gesters=5and be able haul a
thicker sludge. The Veolia Compost Plant makes a class "A" product from our
sludge and other area municipalities.
II. Performance
The SBR facility continues to produce high quality effluent. In 2017 the Town of
Maiden WWTP produced a removal rate of 97.0% for BOD with an average
Effluent concentration of 7.40 mg/L and a 95.2% removal rate for TSS with an
average Effluent concentration of 7.01mg/L. The Town of Maiden Wastewater
Treatment Facility treated an average of 422,263 gallons per day and a total of
154,126,200 gallons for the year.
Violations (January 1, 2017 — December 31, .2017)
Minor violations on pH on January 30,2017 and June 12, 2017
III. Notification
A public notice was listed on the Town.of Maiden website
(www.maidennc.com) advising all customers the report is available for public
review at the Wastewater Facility and Town Hall.
IV. Certification
I certify under penalty of law that this report is complete and accurate to the best
of my knowledge. I further certify that this report has been made available to
the users or customers of the Town of Maiden sewer system and that those users
have been notified of its availability.

MOORESVcLLE REGIONAL OFFICE
This letter is in response to a report dated April 1, 2011 regarding the deficiencies found during
our Sewer Collections Inspection. This letter will serve as a response to the corrective actions taken to
resolve those deficiencies. Included with this letter are an updated Spill Response Plan and an updated
list of Sewer Right-of-Ways/High Priority Lines.
Deficiencies Found:
1. A CIP Plan should have been implemented by December 2009.
Corrective Actions:
The town is working on the CIP Plan and will have it implemented and submitted to you no later than
July 1, 2011.
I hope the corrective actions we've taken are satisfactory. If you have any questions or concerns
please feel free to contact me.
Best Regards,
Brian Walker
Sewer Collections Supervisor
Town of Maiden

Spill Response Plan
Main lines: This section provides guidelines for performing emergency procedures to
correct failures within the gravity sewer main lines. The procedures are divided into
three categories: Containment, Problem Identification and Corrective Measures.
Only qualified personnel should be authorized to commence repairs on gravity sewer
lines. Due to depth of sewer lines, potential for collapse of excavation trench, potential
for hazardous fumes, potential for flooding and detrimental health qualities of the
wastewater, proper precautions should be adhered to and all confined entry procedures
followed. Notification to all utilities that may be in the vicinity should be enacted
immediately for location of their respective utilities.
A) Containment: The condition by which the wastewater flows is controlled,
either on the grounds surface (diked) or by means of by-pass pumping to a
downstream manhole or to containment vessels.
Upon arrival to the repair site, initiate containment of the existing wastewater flows.
Flows that have surcharged onto the grounds surface should be diked with clay -like soils
to prevent seepage and chlorine administered to the containment area. If flows are
excessive, it may be necessary to by-pass pump from the upstream manhole around the
damaged site to the next available manhole downstream. For sewer main line stoppages,
high- pressure jetting of the sewer main line in conjunction with the containment
process should commence immediately. Insert the jetting from the downstream manhole
and clean until the stoppage has broken free. Usually, the initial breakage of the stoppage
will stop any surcharging onto the ground and remediation can commence. If the
surcharge is a result of sewer main line failure, excavation will have to be implemented
and utility locates are required. When excavating for repairs, make certain to follow safe
excavating procedures (trench boxes and/or sloping of trench walls) with all required
equipment on site (ladders, barricades, lighting, etc.).
B) Problem Identification: The process by which the failure to the main line is
specifically located, including deficient components.
If flows are surcharging from a manhole, this usually indicates a blockage in the main
line. Removing the manhole cover from the downstream manhole, visually observe the
sewer flows to determine if the amount of the flow is justified or appears to be restricted.
If a customer reports a sewer backup or stoppage, this is also an indication of a sewer
stoppage in either the main line or the service line to the customer. Remove the service
line clean out cover and observe the water level in the service line. If the water level has
surcharged into the cleanout, then there is an indication of a blockage in the service line
downstream of the cleanout. If no water is observed, then the problem is a blockage on
the customer's side of the clean out. Sewer overflows that occur from the ground or
severe surface depressions in the ground over a sewer line indicates a pipeline failure and
will require televising and most probably, excavation.

e

C) Corrective Measures: The process that corrects deficient conditions within the
gravity sewer lines. Some deficient conditions that may arise require the
services to be outsourced due to the depth of the deficiency.
Main line stoppages are corrected by high pressure cleaning of the affected line segment
from the downstream manhole. Service line stoppages are corrected by high pressure
cleaning the service line from the cleanout. Make sure to follow standard operating
procedures for high pressure cleaning to avoid surcharging into the customer's
establishment.
For areas over the main or service lines that appear to have suffered structural damage,
excavate the trench to the invert of the main line and control the water in the trench with
pumps as required. Measure the length of damaged pipe to be removed and cut a
corresponding piece of replacement pipe. Install a "fernco" coupling on each end of the
replacement pipe, sliding them entirely onto the pipe. Do not tighten the clamps at this
time. Cut the damaged section of the mainline at both ends and remove from the main
line. Ensure that the bedding for the replacement pipe is sufficient and to grade prior to
installation of the new pipe. Install the pipe into the area vacated by the damaged section,
slide the "fernco" clamps over the pipes at both ends making sure that the coupling is
properly centered on the new connection. Tighten the clamps to the manufacturers
recommended torques. Place bedding material around the exposed pipe to the crown of
the pipe, making sure to tamp the bedding material around the haunches of the pipe,
eliminating any voids. Place suitable backfill into the trench in lifts appropriate for
compaction and continue to surface grade. Seeding or soil stabilizing compounds may be
introduced to the surface to prevent soil erosion and to make the repair site more
aesthetically acceptable to the public.

TOWN OF MAIDEN WWTP
Emergency Operating Procedure for Lift Stations
Power Failure
In the event of a power failure, the generator (back-up power) should
automatically switch on. if it doesn't, perform the following steps:
1. Check the generator control panel to see if any trouble lights are on.
2. Feel the generator block to see if it is warm. The block heater may not be
working and the generator will have to be warmed with the glow plug.
3. Check the generator oil, water, & fuel.
4. After checking all previous items, try starting the generator manually. If it just
clicks, the batteries are dead and will have to be replaced.
5. If any problems can't be found and the generator still will not start, immediately
call Covington Diesel (list of phone numbers are attached) to dispatch a repair
technician.
6. If the generator starts but won't transfer, you can manually throw the transfer
switch.
Note: before proceeding, obtain the electrical gloves from the WWTP. Go
to the Transfer switch panel and open it up. A removable handle should be
located in the door. Insert the handle into the switch and rotate it to the
emergency mode. The generator will now be online. Once power
is restored, the generator will have to be manually switched back to the
standby position. Notify Covington Diesel to check the transfer switch.
Note: if unsure of how to switch manually, call
WWTP Supervisor immediately and/or Electric crew on call.
Pump Failure (One pump)
If one of the pumps fails, immediately notify WWTP Superintendent and tag the
pump out of service
(disconnect power, shut discharge valve, etc). The following steps are typical to
perform:
1. Call motor repair company for immediate pickup or let them know the Town will be
bringing pump in for repair.
2. Once crew is assembled, lift the pump from the wet well using the Town's line
Truck.
3. Once the pump is out, disassemble wire harness from top of pump (verify power
for pump is off, locked and tagged out of service).
4. The pump is ready for pickup or delivery to repair shop. Notify repair shop that
the job is a rush or emergency.
5. Install backup pump into service, if a backup is present. Connect wire harness to
pump (reconnect power and check pump rotation before setting back into wet
well) and set back into well with Line Truck.
6. Watch visually to ensure proper operation.
7. Once broken pump is repaired store at WWTP as a spare or put back into service
if no back-up pump was used.

a
.. '
,. .... ..
. .

Pump Failure (Both pumps)
If both pumps fail, the following steps are taken:
1. If pump failures are due to a burned up pumps that will need to be repaired and
there is no way to temporarily run either pump proceed to step number 2. If at all
possible call someone in, such as Aqua Trol, HD Supply (Clearwater), Carolina
Lift Stations, etc and get them here as quickly as possible to try and get pumps
working temporarily.
2. Follow the above steps for One Pump failure and get the spare pump into service
immediately, if available.
3. Next, remove the other pump following the One Pump failure steps and send both
off for repair. Be sure to stress the importance of getting the pumps back
immediately.
4. If no back-up pump is present or one pump will not be sufficient to keep up with
flow. Call Godwin pumps in Charlotte to get a bypass pump installed and
connected back into force main.
5. Once pumps are repaired install pump(s) and store the other one (if there was a
spare) at the VVWTP as a spare.
High Wet Well Alarm
If we receive a call from our call monitoring system for a high wet well at any pump station
the following steps need to be taken:
1. Acknowledge the alarm and proceed to VVINTP ASAP. Contact Supervisor,
letting them know of the issues and that you are going in to work.
2. Contact another person if you think the job will require more than one person or if
you feel that your safety is in jeopardy performing the job by yourself.
3. Punch in and immediately grab the keys to the small pumper truck and proceed to
the lift station in alarm.
4. Once there safely diagnose the conditions to determine what is causing the high
level conditions. If it is determined to not be a mechanical issue, only high flow,
then proceed to pump down the wet well with the pumper truck.
5. Once pumper truck is full take and dump contents in the nearest gravity flow
manhole, provided it is in a safe location to do so.
6. Continue pumping until pumps can catch up to the flow conditions.
7. If a high wet well condition is due to equipment or pump malfunction that is beyond
something we can correct, call a specialist, such as Aqua Trol, HD Supply
(Clearwater), Carolina Lift Stations, etc and get them here as quickly as possible.
Continue to pump down wet well of lift station until help arrives and has lift station
back in service.

� • . L
For all other Alarms at lift stations
If a call comes in for an alarm other than High Wet well, follow these steps:
1. Acknowledge the alarm and proceed to WWTP ASAP. Contact Supervisor,
letting them know of the issues and that you are going in to work.
2. Contact another person if you think the job will require more than one person or if
you feel that your safety is in jeopardy performing the job by yourself.
3. Punch in and immediately grab the service truck and proceed to the lift station in
alarm.
4. Once there safely diagnose the conditions to determine what is causing the alarm
conditions.
5. If it is something we can repair, safely do so, monitoring wet well level the entire
time.

Catawba County
Dear TODD CLARK:
In accordance with your application received on October 27, 2008, we are forwarding herewith Permit
No. WQCS00120, dated December 9, 2008, to Town of Maiden for the operation and maintenance of
the subject wastewater collection system.
This permit shall be effective from January 1, 2009 until December 31, 2014. This permit shall be subject to
the conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this permit.
Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit.
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly installed
system extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a
separately owned sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations,
force mains, low pressure sewer systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping,
valves and appurtenances that help to collect, manage and transport wastewater to a wastewater
treatment plant under the Permittee's ownership or maintained and operated by the Permittee through
a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite systems are systems tributary to the Permittee's collection system
but those collection systems are not owned or maintained by the Permittee. The system description
provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant to provide a general idea about the size of the system and
may not be all inclusive of the collection system at the time of permit issuance or afterward.
A release of wastewater from the wastewater collection system is referred to herein as a Sanitary Sewer
Overflow (SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options offer a SSO will be determined considering the
criteria listed in condition 1(2)(a) and 1(2)(b) of the permit and all other relevant information available or
requested of the Permittee. Compliance with all conditions of the permit as well as all statutes and
regulations pertaining to the collection system must be maintained or appropriate enforcement actions
may be taken as noted in Condition VI(2).
A reportable SSO is a SSO greater than 1,000 gallons to the ground or a SSO of any amount that reaches
surface water (including through ditches, storm drains, etc.) Below is the procedure to use for reporting
SSOs to the Division:
1. Report by telephone to a Division of Water Quality staff member (not facsimile or voicemail) at
your regional DWQ office during regular business hours (Monday to Friday, 8AM to 5PM) as soon
as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours after the SSO is known or discovered. To report
outside of regular business hours, call [phone].

approved form within five days. -
To provide a uniform method for all systems covered under this permit and to provide useful and
consistent information pertaining to SSOs, a new spill reporting form has been developed (October
2003). Form CS-SSO consists of two parts. Part I serves to provide to the Division the required information
that has always been necessary. Part II serves as an area to provide a justification for the spill, as
optional under Condition 1(2) of your permit. Form CS-SSO can be downloaded from
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndceu/ from the Collection Systems area.
An NOV, -civil<penalty,.gno/or a.,moratorium on the addition of waste to the system may be issued if
'adequate justificati6n4or an SSO is NOT submitted to the regional office. In order to submit a claim for
justification of an SSO, you must use the Form CS-SSO with additional documentation as necessary.
DWQ staff will review the justification claim and determine if enforcement action is appropriate. Please
be advised that the information needed to justify a spill is very comprehensive. Begin using this form
immediately to report SSOs from the collection system.. Continue to use our old form for reporting
bypasses at the wastewater treatment plant until further notice. The time frame for submittal of both
Part I and Part II, if pertinent, is five days.
Failure to abide by the conditions in this permit may subject the Permittee to enforcement action. If any
parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to
request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty days following the receipt of this
permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding.
If you have questions regarding compliance contact your regional office or Jeff Poupart of the
Pretreatment, Emergency Response and Collection Systems Unit of the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality at [phone]. If you need additional information concerning this permit, please contact
Daryl Merritt in the Pretreatment, Emergency Response and Collection Systems Unit at [phone].

the event that the wastewater collection system fails to perform satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions, including
actions that may be required by the Division of Water Quality (Division), such as the construction
of additional or replacement sewer lines and/or equipment.
The Director may take enforcement action against the Permittee for SSOs that must be reported
to the Division as stipulated in Condition IV(2). This includes SSOs that were caused by severe
natural conditions or exceptional events unless the Permittee demonstrates through properly
signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that;
a) The SSO was caused by severe natural conditions; there were no feasible alternatives to

wastewater, reduction of inflow and infiltration, use of adequate back-up equipment, or
an increase in the capacity of the system. This provision is not satisfied if, in the exercise
of reasonable engineering judgment, the Permittee should have installed auxiliary or
additional collection system components, wastewater retention or treatment facilities,
adequate back-up equipment or should have reduced inflow and infiltration; or
b) the SSO was exceptional, unintentional, temporary and caused by factors beyond the
reasonable control of the Permittee; the SSO could not have been prevented by the
exercise of reasonable control, such as proper management, operation and
maintenance; adequate treatment facilities or collection system facilities or components
(e.g., adequately enlarging treatment or collection facilities to accommodate growth or
adequately controlling and preventing infiltration and inflow); preventive maintenance;
or installation of adequate back-up equipment,
The Permittee can submit a claim to the Division Regional Office that the SSO meets the criteria
of this condition. The Permittee has the option of submitting this claim along with the spill report
required by Condition IV(2) (i.e., within five days) in order to be considered for immunity from
enforcement action. Form CS-SSO Part II, or most current Division approved form, shall be used
for any claims. The Permittee has the burden of proof that the above criteria have been met.
3. The Permittee shall establish by ordinance its legal authority to require new sewers be properly
constructed; to ensure proper inspection and testing of sewer mains and service laterals; to
address. flows from satellite systems and to take enforcement action as required by Condition

Mr. Herms
Performance Standards
An educational fats, oil, and grease program need to be developed to include bi-
annual distribution of educational material targeted at both residential and non-residential
customers. The Sewer Use Ordinance may need to be reviewed to determine that
enforcement language is sufficient for non-residential users. The annual report for the
wastewater collection system needs to be completed as required by G.S. 143-215.1C.
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) needs to be developed and address both the
short term and long term needs of the collection system. A schedule was placed in the
permit to comply with this condition.
Operations and Maintenance
The attached CEI Report lists the information that must be kept for a period of
three years for pump stations, emergency generators, line cleaning, and right of way
maintenance; and be made available for review during inspections by Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) staff. All pump stations have mission communication satellite systems
for reporting any malfunctions in the operation of the station. The 10% required cleaning
for this collection system is 4.6 miles of line per year. This needs to be documented in
footage in the cleaning records to determine compliance.
Pump Stations
Three pump stations were inspected and are listed in the attached CEI report. It
was noted that the new DOT station needed to be transferred in ownership to the Town of
Maiden, this form is included with this report. It was also noted that the Industrial Park
pump station has been abandon and that wastewater now flows to Lincoln County
collection system.
Records
Records of spills and complaints are maintained by the permittee and were
available for review. Public notice doctunentation is attached to the appropriate spill
reports. A map of the collection system was also available but much of the detail is
missing and lines are not complete to indicate the flow direction. This map has to be
completed by 2013 to meet the 10 year schedule since issuance of the permitting of
collection systems. The records for the pump station indicated what was checked and
how it was operating.

Mr. Herms
Monitoring and Reporting
Notification requirements as set forth in NCGS 143-215.1C for spill reporting are
followed. Annual report has not been completed. Please submit a copy to this office as
soon as possible.
Lines / Right-of-Ways/Aerial Lines
Lines and right of ways that were inspected were accessible, free of sinkholes,
and showed no evidence of leakage. The records indicate regular inspection of the off-
street right of ways and aerials lines.
Manholes
The manholes that were inspected are listed in the attached CEI Report. In
general the manholes were in good condition with no visible signs of sinkholes or
depressions, and there were no bypass structures or pipes at any of the manholes.
No response to this letter is necessary. If you have any questions concerning this
inspection report, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sifford or me at [phone].

Performance Standards
An educational fats, oil, and grease program need to be developed to include bi-
annual distribution of educational material targeted at both residential and non-residential
customers. The Sewer Use Ordinance may need to be reviewed to determine that
enforcement language is sufficient for non-residential users. The annual report for the
wastewater collection system needs to be completed as required by G.S. 143-215.1C.
The Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) needs to be developed and address both the
short term and long term needs of the collection system. A schedule was placed in the
permit to comply with this condition.
Operations and Maintenance
The attached CEI Report lists the information that must be kept for a period of
three years for pump stations, emergency generators, line cleaning, and right of way
maintenance; and be made available for review during inspections by Division of Water
Quality (DWQ) staff. All pump stations have mission communication satellite systems
for reporting any malfunctions in the operation of the station. The 10% required cleaning
for this collection system is 4.6 miles of line per year. This needs to be documented in
footage in the cleaning records to determine compliance.
Pump Stations
Three pump stations were inspected and are listed in the attached CEI report. It
was noted that the new DOT station needed to be transferred in ownership to the Town of
Maiden, this form is included with this report. It was also noted that the Industrial Park
pump station has been abandon and that wastewater now flows to Lincoln County
collection system.
Records
Records of spills and complaints are maintained by the permittee and were
available for review. Public notice documentation is attached to the appropriate spill
reports. A map of the collection system was also available but much of the detail is
missing and lines are not complete to indicate the flow direction. This map has to be
completed by 2013 to meet the 10 year schedule since issuance of the permitting of
collection systems. The records for the pump station indicated what was checked and
how it was operating.

Subject: Permit No. WQCS00120
Town of Maiden
Maiden Collection System
Catawba County
In accordance with your application received on October 27, 2008, we are forwarding herewith Permit
No. WQCS00120, dated December 9, 2008, to Town of Maiden for the operation and maintenance of
the subject wastewater collection system.
This permit shall be effective from January 1, 2009 until December 31, 2014. This permit shall be subject to
the conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this permit.
Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit.
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly installed
system extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a
separately owned sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations,
force mains, low pressure sewer systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping,
valves and appurtenances that help to collect, manage and transport wastewater to a wastewater
treatment plant under the Permittee's ownership or maintained and operated by the Permittee through
a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite systems are systems tributary to the Permittee's collection system
but those collection systems are not owned or maintained by the Permittee. The system description
provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant to provide a general idea about the size of the system and
may not be all inclusive of the collection system at the time of permit issuance or afterward,
A release of wastewater from the wastewater collection system is referred to herein as a Sanitary Sewer
Overflow (SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options offer a SSO will be determined considering the
criteria listed in condition 1(2)(a) and 1(2)(b) of the permit and all other relevant information available or
requested of the Permittee. Compliance with all conditions of the permit as well as all statutes and
regulations pertaining to the collection system must be maintained or appropriate enforcement actions
may be taken as noted in Condition VI(2).
A reportable SSO is a SSO greater than 1,000 gallons to the ground or a SSO of any amount that reaches
surface water (including through ditches, storm drains, etc.) Below is the procedure to use for reporting
SSOs to the Division:
1. Report by telephone to a Division of Water Quality staff member (not facsimile or voicemail) at
your regional DWQ office during regular business hours (Monday to Friday, 8AM to 5PM) as soon
as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours affer the SSO is known or discovered. To report
outside of regular business hours, call [phone].

2: Follow up the verbal report by sending a completed written report on the most current Division
approved form within five days.
To provide a uniform method for all systems covered under this permit and to provide useful and
consistent information pertaining to SSOs, a new spill reporting form has been developed (October
2003). Form CS-SSO consists of two parts. Part I serves to provide to the Division the required information
that has always been necessary. Part II serves as an area to provide a justification for the spill, as
optional under Condition 1(2) of your permit. Form CS-SSO can be downloaded from
httr)://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/ndceu/ from the Collection Systems area.
An NOV, civil penalty, and/or a moratorium on the addition of waste to the system may be issued if
adequate justification for an SSO is NOT submitted to the regional office. In order to submit a claim for
justification of an SSO, you must use the Form CS-SSO with additional documentation as necessary.
DWQ staff will review the justification claim and determine if enforcement action is appropriate. Please
be advised that the information needed to justify a spill is very comprehensive. Begin using this form
immediately to report SSOs from the collection system. Continue to use our old form for reporting
bypasses at the wastewater treatment plant until further notice. The time frame for submittal of both
Part I and Part II, if pertinent, is five days.
Failure to abide by the conditions in this permit may subject the Permittee to enforcement action. If any
parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to
request an adjudidatory hearing upon written request within thirty days following the receipt of this
permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North
Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center,
Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding.
If you have questions regarding compliance contact your regional office or Jeff Poupart of the
Pretreatment, Emergency Response and Collection Systems Unit of the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality at [phone]. If you need additional information concerning this permit, please contact
Daryl Merritt in the Pretreatment, Emergency Response and Collection Systems Unit at [phone],

RALEIGH
SYSTEM -WIDE WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as
amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Town of Maiden
Catawba County
FOR THE
operation and maintenance of a wastewater collection system consisting of, at the time of permit -
issuance, approximately 46 miles of gravity sewer, approximately 5 miles of force main, 7 duplex pump
stations, and all associated piping, valves, and appurtenances required to make a complete and
operational wastewater collection system to serve the Town of Maiden and any deemed permitted
satellite communities, pursuant to the application received on October 27, 2008, and in conformity with
the documents referenced therein and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from January 1, 2009 until December 31, 2014 and shall be subject to the
following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the Town of Maiden
Wastewater Treatment Facility (NC0039594) prior to being disposed into the receiving stream.
This collection system permit will be referenced upon renewal or modification of your NPDES
permit(s).
1 PERMIT NUMBER WQCS00120

2. The wastewater collection system shall be effectively managed, maintained and operated at all
times so that there is no SSO to Idnd`or'surfdce wdteFs; nor any`coritamination of groundwater. In
the event that the wastewater collection system falls to perform satisfactorily, including the
creation of nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions, including
actions that may be required by the Division of Water Quality (Division), such as the construction
of additional or replacement sewer lines and/or equipment,
The Director may take enforcement action against the Permittee for SSOs that must be reported
to the Division as stipulated in Condition IV(2). This includes SSOs that were caused by severe
natural conditions or exceptional events unless the Permittee demonstrates through properly
signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
a) The SSO was caused by severe natural conditions; there were no feasible alternatives to
the SSO, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention of untreated
wastewater, reduction of inflow and infiltration, use of adequate back-up equipment, or
an increase in the capacity of the system. This provision is not satisfied if, in the exercise
of reasonable engineering judgment, the Permittee should have installed auxiliary or
additional collection system components, wastewater retention or treatment facilities,
adequate back-up equipment or should have reduced inflow and infiltration; or
b) the SSO was exceptional, unintentional, temporary and caused by factors beyond the
reasonable control of the Permittee; the SSO could not have been prevented by the
exercise of reasonable control, such as proper management, operation and
maintenance; adequate treatment facilities or collection system facilities or components
(e.g., adequately enlarging treatment or collection facilities to accommodate growth or
adequately controlling and preventing infiltration and inflow); preventive maintenance;
or installation of adequate back-up equipment;
The Permittee can submit a claim to the Division Regional Office that the SSO meets the criteria
of this condition. The Permittee has the option of submitting this claim along with the spill report
required by Condition IV(2) (i.e., within five days) in order to be considered for immunity from
enforcement action. Form CS-SSO Part II, or most current Division approved form, shall be used
for any claims. The Permittee has the burden of proof that the above criteria have been met.
3. The Permittee shall establish by ordinance its legal authority to require new sewers be properly
constructed; to ensure proper inspection and testing of sewer mains and service laterals; to
address. flows from satellite systems and to take enforcement action as required by Condition
1(4).
4. The Permittee shall develop and implement an educational fats, oils and grease program that
shall include at least bi-annual distribution of educational material targeted at both residential
and non-residential users. The Permittee shall also develop and implement an enforceable fats,
oils and grease program for non-residential users under which the Permittee can take
enforcement against users who have not properly installed, operated and maintained grease
traps or grease interceptors as directed or otherwise violated the terms of the local ordinance
pertaining to fats, oils and grease.
The Permittee shall develop and implement an inspection and enforcement program for fats, oils
and grease within 12 months of permit issuance. A copy of the program materials shall be provided
to the Mooresville Regional Office, Surface Water Protection Section to show compliance with this
condition. This schedule does not include the educational component of the program. Educational
materials shall be distributed at least bi-annually, with increasing frequency and targeted areas as
grease related blockages are noted.
2 PERMIT NUMBER WQCS00120

5. The Permittee shall adopt and implement a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to designate
funding' for reinvestmenf into `the wastewater -collection system irifrastructure: The"'CIP should
address the short-term needs and long-term "master plan" concepts. The CIP should -typically
cover a three to five year period and include a goal statement, description of the project area,
description of the existing facilities,' known deficiencies (over a reasonable period) and
forecasted future needs. Cost analysis is integral to the CIP.
The Permittee shall develop and present a Capital Improvement Plan meeting this permit condition
for adoption within 12 months of a permit issuance. A copy of the Capital Improvement Plan shall be
provided to the Mooresville Regional Office, Surface Water Protection Section to show compliance
with this condition.
b. Existing overflow piping from manholes and pump stations, excluding piping to approved
equalization structures, known or discovered after permit issuance shall be immediately
removed or permanently capped. Plugged emergency pumping connections are allowable for
portable pumping or rerouting without intentionally bypassing the wastewater treatment facility.
7. The Permittee shall maintain a contingency plan for pump failure at each pump station. If one
of the pumps in a pump station containing multiple pumps fails, the process of repairing or
replacing the pump shall be initiated immediately and the new parts or pump shall be installed
as soon as possible. If the pump in a simplex pump station fails, it shall be replaced immediately.
8. Each pump station shall be clearly and conspicuously posted with a pump station identifier and
an emergency contact telephone number at which an individual who can initiate or perform
emergency service for the wastewater collection system 24 hours per day, seven days per week
can be contacted. This emergency contact telephone number shall be coupled with
instructions that the emergency contact should be called if the visual alarm illuminates, if the
audible alarm sounds, or if an emergency is apparent.
9. Pump station sites, equipment and components shall have restricted access, per 15A NCAC 2T
.0305(h)(4).
10. Pump stations that do not employ an automatic polling feature (i.e. routine contact with pump
stations from a central location to check operational status of the communication system) shall
have both audible and visual high water alarms. The alarms shall be weatherproof and placed
in a clear and conspicuous location. Permits issued for the construction of pump stations that
included high water alarms in the description must maintain the alarms even if simple telemetry
(i.e. notification of an alarm condition initiated by the pump station control feature) is installed.
11. For all newly constructed, modified and rehabilitated pump stations, all equipment and
components located within the pump station shall be corrosion -resistant and components in
close proximity of the pump station shall be sealed within a corrosion -resistant coating or
encasement.
12. All construction and rehabilitation of the wastewater collection system (i.e., permitted or
deemed permitted) shall be scheduled to minimize the interruption of service by the existing
utilities. Construction and rehabilitation shall not result in the violation of Condition (1)(2) of this

Main lines: This section provides guidelines for performing emergency procedures to
correct failures within the gravity sewer main lines. The procedures are divided into
three categories: Containment, Problem Identification and Corrective Measures.
Only qualified personnel should be authorized to commence repairs on gravity sewer
lines. Due to depth of sewer lines, potential for collapse of excavation trench, potential
for hazardous fumes, potential for flooding and detrimental healthqualities of the.
wastewater, proper precautions should be adhered to and all confined entry procedures
followed. Notification to all utilities that may be in the vicinity should be enacted
immediately for location of their respective utilities.
A) Containment: The condition by which the wastewater flows is controlled,
either on the grounds surface (diked) or by means of by-pass pumping to a
downstream manhole or to containment vessels.
Upon arrival to the repair site, initiate containment of the existing wastewater flows.
Flows that have surcharged onto the grounds surface should be diked with clay -like soils
to prevent seepage and chlorine administered to the containment area. If flows are
excessive, it may be necessary to by-pass pump from the upstream manhole around the
damaged site to the next available manhole downstream. For sewer main line stoppages,
high- pressure rodding of the sewer main line in conjunction with the containment
process -should commence immediately. Insert the rodder from the downstream manhole
and clean until the stoppage has broken free. Usually, the initial breakage of the stoppage
will stop any surcharging onto the ground and remediation can commence. If the
surcharge is a result of sewer main line failure, excavation will have to be implemented
and utility locates are required. When excavating for repairs, make certain to follow safe
excavating procedures (trench boxes and/or sloping of trench walls) with all required
equipment on site (ladders, barricades, lighting, etc.).
B) Problem Identification: The process by which the failure to the main line is
specifically located, including deficient components.
If flows are surcharging from a manhole, this usually indicates a blockage in the main
line. Removing the manhole cover from the downstream manhole, visually observe the
sewer flows to determine if the amount of the flow is justified or appears to be restricted.
If a customer reports a sewer backup or stoppage, this is also an indication of a sewer
stoppage in either the main line or the service line to the customer. Remove the service
line clean out cover and observe the water level in the service line. If the water level has
surcharged into the cleanout, then there is an indication of a blockage in the service line
downstream of the cleanout. If no water is observed, then the problem is a blockage on
the customer's side of the clean out. Sewer overflows that occur from the ground or
severe surface depressions in the ground over a sewer line indicates a pipeline failure and
will require televising and most probably, excavation.

Section 3
Page 4
C) Corrective Measures: The process that corrects deficient conditions within the
gravity sewer lines. Some deficient conditions that may arise require the
services to be outsourced due to the depth of the deficiency.
Main line stoppages are corrected by high pressure cleaning of the affected line segment
from the downstream manhole. Service line stoppages are corrected by high pressure
cleaning the service line from the cleanout. Make sure to follow standard operating
procedures for high pressure cleaning to avoid surcharging into the customer's
establishment.
For areas over the main or service lines that appear to have suffered structural damage,
excavate the trench to the invert of the main line and control the water in the trench with
pumps as required. Measure the length of damaged pipe to be removed and cut a
corresponding piece of replacement pipe. _Install_ a "fernco" coupling on each end of the
replacement pipe, sliding them entirely onto the pipe. Do not tighten the clamps at this
time. Cut the damaged section of the mainline at both ends and remove from the main
line. Ensure that the bedding for the replacement pipe is sufficient and to grade prior to
installation of the new pipe. Install the pipe into the area vacated by the damaged section,
slide the "fernco" clamps over the pipes at both ends making sure that the coupling is
properly centered on the new connection. Tighten the clamps to the manufacturers
recommended torques. Place bedding material around the exposed pipe to the crown of
the pipe, making sure to tamp the bedding material around the haunches of the pipe,
eliminating any voids. Place suitable backfill into the trench in lifts appropriate for
compaction and continue to surface grade. Seeding or soil stabilizing compounds may be
introduced to the surface to prevent soil erosion and to make the repair site more
aesthetically acceptable to the public.

Did inspection last week. The SUO was approved in June this year by Dana. Can you
check to see if it has the appropriate language for FOG. The ORC does not know when I
met with him and Mr. Price was not available for questions during the inspection. CIP
I would allow the schedule since they have had so much turnover in management in the
town over the past several years. I will probably send the inspection out as NOV
since that gets more action.

Hey Barbara here is their draft permit. The town states they are not compliant with
FOG and CIP but they did not have a compliance schedule in their last permit. So
the draft includes the compliance schedules for both. I also spoke to Billy Price
he is sending signature authority letter to me to be included in the permit app.
and is fine with the permit schedules, and I am sending him a draft copy today. Let

Q f-f"
DENA AAW
M-Surface WVOW Pfdecfalon
The Pretreatment, Emergency Response, and Collection Systems Unit (PERCS) of the Division of
Water Quality has reviewed the Sewer Use Ordinance (SUO) for the Town of Maiden. This SUO was
received by the Division on June 16, 2008.
The review indicates that with the corrections outlined below, the SUO is adequate and the minimum
requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0900 and 40 CFR 403 are met. Please make the necessary revisions,
and submit the final adopted SUO to the PERCS Unit, including documentation of adoption and
effective date.
1) Section 21-312, B. 3, page 12: This section includes the Model SUO paragraph on grease, oil, and
sand interceptors. The SUO also has additional requirements on this subject in Section 21-315.
These two sections should be consolidated, or include a reference to 21-315 in 21-312, B, 3.
2) Section 21-313, page 12: Please correct the typographical error at the beginning.
3) Section 21-313, page 13: It was noted that this section incorporates and repeats much of the wording
also found in Section 21-350, page 28-29. This does not seem to create any conflict; we simply are
pointing out the repetition in case it was in error.
4) Section 21-314, page 14: Revise the phrase "should consider taking measures" to read "take
measures" or perhaps "take measures as needed."
5) Section 21-328, page 18-19: It seems that D, 1 should be E., and D, 2, should be D.
Thank you for your continued cooperation with the Pretreatment Program. If you have any questions or
comments, please contact Dana Folley at [phone] (dana.folley(a�ncmail.net) or Jeff Poupart, Unit
Supervisor at 807-6309 [email: jef£[e-mail]].

Subject: Update of ORC and Backup Operator Designation Information
Permit Vs WQCSIS "A'
Dear Mr. Caulder:
During routine review of your recently. issued Wastewater Collections System permit
(WQCS00120), it was discovered that your designated Back -Up ORC, Mr. Damon Del Rice no
longer has a valid Collection System Operator Certificate.
The ability to serve as ORC or Back -Up ORC is dependent upon maintaining a valid certificate
of the appropriate type and grade as set forth in T15A: 08G .0204 (1) and .0205 (1). Please be
advised that as of today, 09/04/2003, Mr. Rice has been removed as your Back -Up ORC.
The responsibility of the system owner requires you to maintain a designated ORC and Back -Up
ORC as set forth in T15A: 08G .0202 (a) and (b).
Please review the above -mentioned rules located in the enclosed copy of the WPCSOCC
operator rules and take necessary steps to correct this accordingly. If Mr. Rice is not your Back -
Up ORC and our database is in error, please use the enclosed Operator Designation Form and
submit the correct information so we can correct our system.

2. Per permit condition I.10, each pump station MUST have BOTH audible and visual
alarms present and working, UNLESS there is a telemetry SCADA system with
automatic poling for signal at the pump station. Pump stations without telemetry
SCADA systems or visual and audible alarms must immediately be retrofitted. It
appears from your application that the McCreary Modern Pump Station has an
audible alarm and telemetry. Please confirm whether the telemetry system has an
automatic poling feature. If not, please provide a date by which a visual alarm can be
added to the pump station.
3. Per permit condition I.5, the Town is required to implement a Capital Improvement
Plan (CIP). The permit application notes that capital improvements to the system
have been budgeted for the Town but it is unclear if it is part of a 3-5 year CIP.
Please submit a detailed multi -year CIP for the Town that shows the Town has
addressed future capital needs. If you do not currently have a multi -year CIP in place,
please provide a date that the Town will be able to implement one.
4. The locations of all high priority lines will be referenced in your collection system
permit. Please confirm the list of high priority lines that was submitted with your -
permit application for completeness. Please note the Division's definition of a high
priority line: Any aerial line, sub -waterway crossing, line contacting surface waters.
siphon, line positioned parallel to streambanks that are subject to eroding in such a
manner that may threaten the sewer line.
5. Your permit application indicates that you currently have an agreement in place to
accept flows from Lincoln County. - Please provide us with -contact information such
as name, address, phone number for the satellite system.
Below I have listed the items that may be of specific note to the Town. These items do not need
to be submitted but should be in place prior to receiving the permit. Please inform me if you
have any questions or comments regarding any of these items:
1. Please note that permit Condition II.1 requires designation of an Operator in
Responsible Charge (ORC) and a back-up ORC. Your application noted that at this
time only an ORC has been designated for the Town.
2. Please note that the permit will require a written contingency plan to be developed for
each pump station in case of pump failure. These plans should be available to staff at
all times and should clearly identifythe steps they are to take in case of a pump
failure.
3. I've enclosed an outline of all inspections, logs and record keeping that will be
required in the permit. There may be record -keeping that will have to be added to the
Town's existing program and some existing logs and/or inspections may need to be
modified to include all items to be inspected/tested as required by the permit.
4. The Town currently has a map of the collection system. Please note the items
required for the map in condition 111.3 of the permit.
5. The Division of Water Quality highly recommends fencing around pump stations to
restrict unauthorized entry whenever possible. At a minimum all components of
pumps stations must be restricted. This includes locking all wetwell and drywell
covers, locking all power and control boxes.

As mentioned above, I am attaching a template of the wastewater collection system permit. It is
essential that your staff review this document carefully again and make note of any conditions
not already discussed in this letter that will be problematic for the Town of Maiden. Please
submit a list of any Conditions not already discussed with your response to the letter.
Please be aware that you are responsible for meeting all requirements set forth in North Carolina
rules and regulations. Any oversights that occurred in the review of the subject application
package are still the responsibility of the applicant. In addition, any omissions made in
responding to the above items may result in future requests for additional information.
Please reference the subject application number when providing the requested information. Two
copies of all revised and/or additional documentation should be submitted to my attention at the
address above. Please note that failure to provide this additional information on or before the
above requested date may result in your permit being issued without further discussion.

months.
This line is scheduled to be replaced during 2003. Because of the costs ($175,000.00) it
was not feasible to undertake until the new budget year.
We have been working with Wright & Associates to identify this problem area and get
drawings ready for the bidding process.
In addition, we have been working with McGill Associates and Jean Johnson of State to
identify area with inflow and infiltration concerns with our system and establishing a
workable schedule for their repairs.
2). Each of the pump station listed in attachment Number 2, for Section III. 11 have
audible alarms, visual alarms, and a call system to notify operator of problems (SCADA
System).
3). The Town of Maiden, has budgeted $200,000.00 per year for the next five years to
identify and correct concerns with the our sewer distribution system.
4). The list submitted with our application identified in section II1.12, Attachment # 3,
list all known priority lines we have and they are inspected weekly.
5). The agreement between Town of Maiden and Lincoln County requires the Town of
Maiden have total responsibility for the satellite pump station, all associated lines, and
the project flow and is listed as one of seven pump stations. Lincoln County does not
have any sewer lines any where close to the Industrial Park, which is located just'/z mile
from our Town limits.

K2
Additional items included in your letter, "specific notes to the Town"

Subj ect: Administrative Amendment -
Permit No. WQCS00120
Town of Maiden
Maiden Wastewater Collection System
Catawba County
Dear Mr. Caulder: .
The Division of Water Quality (DWQ) has revised the procedures for enforcement of sanitary- sewer
overflows (SSOs) and the reporting of those overflows to the Division. As you are aware, issuance of the subject
system -wide collection system permit for your facility on August 22, 2003 superceded the Division's 1999
Enforcement Policy. The evaluation of enforcement options after a sanitary sewer overflow will be determined
considering the criteria listed in condition I(2)(a) and I(2)(b) of your permit. Compliance with all conditions of
the permit as well as all statutes and regulations pertaining to the collection system : must be maintained or
appropriate enforcement actions may be taken as noted in Condition VI(3).
A reportable SSO is a SSO greater than 1,000 gallons to the ground or a SSO of any amount that reaches
surface_ water (including through ditches, storm drains, etc.) Below is the -procedure to use. for reporting, SSOs to
the Division:.7.
a) ., RepoA by,. telephone to a person (not facsimile or-voicemail)..to your. regional DWQ :office during
- regular business hours (Monday- to Friday,- 8AM to 5PM) "as.. soon .as possible, but in no case more
than 24 hours after -the SSO is known or,discoverecL ,To report outside of regular businesshours, call
[phone].
b) - Follow. up the verbal report by sending a completed written report on the most* current Division
approved form within five days.
To provide a uniform method for all systems covered under this permit to provide useful and consistent
information pertaining to SSOs, a new spill reporting form has been developed. Enclosed you will find Form CS-
SSO, which consists of two parts. Part I serves to provide to the Division the required information that has always
been necessary. Part II serves as an area to provide a justification for the spill, as optional under Condition I(2) of
your permit.
An NOV, civil penalty, and/or a moratorium on the addition of waste to the system may be issued if
adequate justification for an SSO is NOT submitted to the regional office. In order to submit a claim for
justification of an SSO, you must use the attached form with additional documentation as necessary. DWQ staff
will review the justification claim and determine if enforcement action is appropriate. Please review the attached
form and be advised that the information needed to justify a spill is very comprehensive. Begin using this form
immediately to report SSOs from the collection system. Continue to use our old form for reporting bypasses at
the wastewater treatment plant until further notice. The time frame for submittal of both Part I and Part H, if
pertinent, is five days. 7mr,

Currently, your permit allows for ten days to submit the justification claim. Because Form CS-SSO has
incorporated space to provide a justification along with the required spill report, your permit has been amended to
reflect that all written documentation pertaining to an SSO is to be submitted within five days. This change is
reflected in Condition I(2). Per General Statute 143-215. 1 (b)(4)(c), you have sixty days to appeal this amendment.
Additionally, some minor modifications to Condition IV(2) have been made. The highway patrol 800 number has
been removed, clarification has been made to the verbal reporting requirements (i.e. no facimilies or voice mails)
and we have referenced the new form. Spill reporting should be made to the appropriate regional office during
business hours or to the emergency management number identified in the permit after hours.
In accordance with this administrative amendment directed on October 7, 2003, we are forwardinb
herewith Permit No. WQCS00120 (without original attachments), dated October 17, 2003, to the Town of Maiden
for the operation and maintenance of the subject wastewater collection system.
This permit shall be effective sixty days from the date of receipt until July 31, 2008 and shall void Permit
No. WQCS00120 issued August 22, 2003. This comprehensive collection system permit includes conditions
which cover all of the Spill Response and Operation and Maintenance Evaluation Factors in the Updated
Collection System Enforcement Guidance issued June 14, .1999. As mentioned, this permit supercedes the 1999
point system used to determine enforcement options for sanitary sewer overflows. The evaluation of enforcement
options after a sanitary sewer overflow will be determined considering the criteria listed in condition I(2)(a) and
I(2)(b) of the permit. Compliance with all conditions of the permit must be maintained or appropriate
enforcement actions may be taken as noted in Condition VI(3). .
This permit shall be subject to the conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to
thoroughly review this permit. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this
permit and any compliance schedules shown in bold.
Failure to abide by the conditions in this permit may subject the Peimittee to enforcement action. If any
parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the right to request an
adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty days following the receipt of this permit. This request
must be_iri the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and
filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings; 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh; NC 27699-6714. Unless
such demands are made, this permit shall be final and binding.
The Division is also pursuing a way to provide an Internet based electronic submittal of SSO reports.
Enclosed is a User Identifier/Password Request Form. In preparation for this service, please complete the
enclosed form and return it to the address provided on the form by November 30, 2003. The Division will be
contacting those who submit this form to provide the login site and your specific login ID and password. We
anticipate early 2004 to implement on-line submittal of 5-day SSO reports. Until then, hard copies must be
submitted as currently practiced. Initally, this service will roll out only for SSO written 5-day reports and then
expand to bypass reporting and other types of spills.
Please ensure all collection system staff receive this notice! This permit should replace your original
permit with exception of any attachment(s), which should be transferred and attached to this permit. Now is a
good time to again thoroughly review your permit. Ensure any expired compliance dates have been met and the
regional office has been notified of your compliance with those conditions.
