Ri`DWP DEC - 6 2017 ROY COOPER Governor MICHAEL S. REGAN Secrelmy warRos LINDA CULPEPPER MOORESVIL LE r EGIONAL OFFICL Interim Directo r November 30, 2017 Subject: Permit No. WQCS00253 Carolina Water Service Inc. of NC Bradfield Farms Collection System Mecklenburg County Dear Mr. Konsul: In accordance with your application received November 7, 2017, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQCS00253, dated November 30, 2017, to the Carolina Water Service Inc. of NC for the operation and maintenance of the subject wastewater collection system. This permit shall be effective from June 1, 2018 until May 31, 2026 and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this permit. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit and any special conditions. Changes have been made to the boiler plate language of the permit. Most of the changes are for clarification purposes, however Condition 1(3) has been removed. The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) believes that condition was included erroneously in previous permits: It was included based on proposed rulemaking by EPA which was never promulgated and, -in the continued absence of Federal regulations, DEQ lacks authority to include such language in a permit. DEQ will continue to exercise enforcement discretion when evaluating sanitary sewer overflows that may be considered to be beyond the reasonable -control of the Permittee. A highlighted copy of the permit identifying the - changes made is available at: http•//ncdenr s3 amazonaws.com/s3fs-. ublic/Water%20Quality/Surface%20Water%20Protection/PERCS/WCS%20(Collection%20Svstem)U dated %20WQCS%20Template%2015 05 18%20(highlighted).pdf 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 maintainedand 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. 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 Phone: 919-807-63001 Internet: www.ncwaterquality.org An Equal opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer— Made in part by recycled paper 3 Bradfield Farms Collection System November 30, 2017 A discharge of wastewater to the environment from the Permittee's wastewater collection system prior to reaching the wastewater treatment facilities is referred to herein as a Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options after an SSO will be determined considering all 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 wastewater collection system must be maintained or appropriate enforcement actions may be taken as noted in Condition VI(2). A reportable SSO is an SSO greater than 1,000 gallons to the ground or an SSO of any amount that reaches surface water (including through ditches, storm drains, etc.). - Reporting requirements including the required verbal report and written report to the appropriate regional office are referenced in Condition IV(2). Form CS-SSO can be downloaded from the SSO Reporting area at: http://ncdenr.s3.amazonaws.com/s3fs- public/Water%20QuaIity/Surface%20Water%2OProtection/PERCS/WCS%20(SSO%2ODocuments)/CS SSO(2015).doc A notice of deficiency (NOD), notice of violation (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 Part II of form CS-SSO with additional documentation as necessary. DWR 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. 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.

Box 240908 Charlotte, NC 28224 Phone: 800-525-7990 www.uiwater.com/north-carolina Summary of Collection System Performance. During 2018, we collected and treated 80 million gallons of wastewater. There where also no SSO's for 2018 Key Performance: • 6,752 feet of sewer pipe were cleaned in 2018. • There are 3 duplex Lift Stations serving the Bradfield Farms Subdivision. Each Lift Station is checked two times a week with maintenance conducted as needed as well as emergency generator testing, wet well cleanings, and emergency/routine repairs conducted periodically. • All duplex Lift Stations are continuously monitored using a telemetry system that will notify our staff of any issues 24/7. • Annually, each Lift Station is inspected using our 56 Point safety checklist. • As part of our Asset Management Program, an Annual Maintenance Checklist is conducted to determine that equipment is performing at peak efficiencies. • Our staff throughout the year manually conducts manhole inspections and documents deterioration (if any) due to corrosive atmospheric conditions. • We have instituted an infiltration and inflow (I&I) program. The purpose of the I&I program is to keep unwanted storm water from entering the collection system. Infiltration and inflow is a clear indicator that there could be broken pipes, uncovered sewer laterals, or someone illegally connected to the collection system. • As a proactive measure, we educate our customers of our concerns of Fats, Oil, and Grease. Your help in what is put down the drain greatly prevents clogs due to grease buildups and improves our overall collection system. These grease buildups can result in SSO's. • Our staff is continually monitoring and clearing rights of way (ROW's). These ROW's normally are in low lying creeks and wooded areas. ROW's need to be kept cleared to ensure easy access during emergency situations. • In an effort to better serve our customers, our staff participates in serving our communities by being a part of a service day program. Companywide we logged _230_ employees who together served a total 1800 hours in our communities. Summary of Wastewater Facility Performance: It is our goal and standard at Carolina Water Service of North Carolina to meet 100% of our NPDES permit discharge limits. We evaluate our treatment processes daily to ensure that goal is obtained. Our permit requires us to continually monitor the effluent to determine if the treatment processes are working effectively. This monitoring consists of sampling at various point in the treatment process. These samples include: Flow measurement of how much wastewater enters and then is discharged from our plant, Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD), Fecal Coliform, Total Ammonia, Total Nitrogen, pH, Total Phosphorus, Total Suspended Solids, Dissolved Oxygen, and Temperature. A total of 1,468 compliance samples are conducted on an annual basis. During 2018, there were two NOV's for Fecal for the year. Our staff is committed to a standard of excellence by ensuring a safe and clean facility while maintaining regulatory compliance. No known adverse effects have been noted on the environment or receiving stream. Violation Summary January No violations/deficiencies noted.. February No violations/deficiencies noted.

Signature: Date: Printed Name Bryce Mendenhall Title: Vice President of Operations NC/TN Discarding of disposable wipes and other debris into the sewer system: Inappropriate materials such as rags, flushable and non-flushable wipes, personal hygiene products, etc., should never be flushed in toilets. Never use a toilet as a wastebasket. These items do not belong in the sewer system. Disposable wipes and baby wipes are often advertised as flushable, but their cloth -like material does not break down in the sanitary sewer system like toilet paper. The result is clogged pumps and blockages in the sewer lines which may cause sanitary sewer overflows. Wastewater collection systems are designed to handle three things — water, human body waste, and toilet paper. Please help protect the environment by disposing of inappropriate items in the trash rather than in the sewer system.

Do not put grease down garbage disposals. Put baskets/strainers in sink drains to catch food scraps and other solids, and empty the drain baskets/strainers for disposal. Solids should never be put into grease traps or interceptors. Routine, often daily, maintenance of grease traps and interceptors is needed to ensure that they properly reduce or prevent blockages. Be cautious of chemicals and additives (including soaps and detergents) that claim to dissolve grease. Some of these additives simply pass grease down pipes where it can clog the sewer lines in another area. . p A74 i�l 5A, NCDENR 1=1LE North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Resources Pat McCrory Thomas A.

SANITARY SEWER OVERFLOW AND SPILL RESPONSE ACTION PLAN Bradfield Farms Sanitary Sewer Collection System WQCS00253 A Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) can endanger the environment and affect the health of individuals and wildlife that come in contact. It is the policy of our company that any and all SSO's be investigated immediately and actions taken to prevent or minimize any and all environmental impact. The public should contact our 24 hour customer service number at 1-800-525-7990 and provide as much information as possible on the location of the problem. On -call staff will be dispatched immediately for full investigation. This number will reach our office during normal business hours and than an emergency call service center after normal business hours. Available and current on -call staff information is kept at all times to ensure that appropriate staff can be dispatched immediately. Any operations employee that comes across an SSO should contact the Operating Manager, Area Manager or Regional Manager immediately and take immediate action to assess, minimize, prevent or mitigate any such event. The local Operating Manager and ORC of the system will be the primary interface between the company and the NC Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality (DWQ) and county health department (if required). The appropriate manager will follow the current and then in place SSO reporting policy as designated by DWQ (see attached reporting form) or any other regulatory agency having jurisdiction. As of the writing of this document; • Report any spill of 1,000 gallons or more; and • Any spill, regardless of the volume, if any waste reaches the surface waters of the State. Any conveyances such as drainage ditches or storm sewers are considered waters of the State. 1) Report by telephone to a person (not a fax or voicemail) to the Mooresville Regional DWQ Office at 704-663-1699 during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm) as soon as possible, but in no case more that 24 hours after the SSO is known or discovered. To report outside of regular business hours, call (800) 858-0368. l 2) Follow up the verbal report by sending the completed written report using the attached form or most current within five days. 3) If the discharge involves 1,000 gallons or more AND reaches surface waters, a press release must be issued within 48 hours of first notification. If the discharge is 15,000 gallons or more, a public notice must be published within 10 days and proof of publication shall be provided to DWQ within 30 days. Containment Procedures As soon as an employee arrives at the site of the SSO, he/she shall use whatever means necessary to contain the spill as to prevent it from reaching surface waters. If there is no danger or potential of the SSO reaching surface waters, the SSO should be contained in as small an area as possible but use of any means possible such as construction of dams, ditches, checks etc. The sewage contained or collected shall be returned to the sewer system or taken to the WWTP by pumps, pumper trucks or other available means. If possible, a blocked or damaged section of collection main should be bypassed around the problem area using transfer pumps from an upstream manhole into a downstream manhole. The damaged main section should be plugged if possible to prevent waste from entering the problem area. The area should be sectioned off to prevent any unauthorized person from entering the contaminated area. Blockage Correction Employees should treat a reported blockage with utmost urgency to prevent any spill or backup from causing environmental or home damage. The first person on site should try to assess the problem and determine if flow can be maintained or restored using temporary pump bypass or other means, of if the problem area can be blocked off and the waste transported from a manhole to the WWTP using a pump or pumper truck. Contractors should be called immediately and employee should stay on site or within close distance to assist with emergency work. Containment and bypass equipment and measures shall remain on site until the blockage is corrected. Clean up Remove all debris such as plastic, paper or other materials from the site, bag or place in a container and dispose of properly in dumpster at WWTP site. Clean or wash area thoroughly and return this water to the sewer system or treatment plant. If on soil or dirt, apply a liberal layer of white hydrated lime to raise the pH and kill pathogenic organisms and to treat for odor. Apply straw and grass seed if appropriate. ,.1 If the SSO reaches surface waters, every effort should be made to contain the spill area by use of dams near a manhole or area accessible to a pumper truck and mobile equipment. The contained area should be pumped back into the sewer system. Two employees or one employee and a contractor shall be present at all time while pump is operated. Backhoe or other equipment should be available to help maintain earthen dams until cleanup efforts are complete. If possible, the area should be flushed with potable water and that water also returned to the sewer system. The operator should try and use a broom or other measures to agitate sludge on the bottom during the pumping and cleaning efforts to make sure it is all retrieved. Rocks and rip -rap should be washed of residue. If surface waters are used for drinking source or recreation, additional measures must be taken to notify local health departments. Water samples to include dissolved oxygen and fecal bacteriological samples should be taken frequently before clean up, during and after clean up. In addition, samples should be taken upstream and downstream of the affected area. Spare Parts and Equipment List Portable trailer mounted generator to operate pump stations and/or electrical equipment in the event of power loss or in remote locations. This will be kept in good running order at all times at the WWTP location. Common parts such as electrical components such as elapsed time meters, voltage phase monitors etc. are kept in stock at the Charlotte Operations Warehouse and can be accessed at all times by a supervisor. White hydrated lime will be kept on hand at the WWTP for spill abatement. Normal hand tools such as shovels, rakes etc. will be kept on the Operator's truck or at the WWTP. The ORC or Operating Manager must be familiar with all pumping equipment brands and have means to contact a distributor or representative for expedited parts.

Farms Collection System Cabarrus County In accordance with your application received on May 26, 2005, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQCS00253, dated June 20, 2005, to Bradfield Farms Water Company for the operation and maintenance of the subject wastewater collection system. This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 31, 2010. 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. Compliance schedules requiring action and regional notification are -shown in bold. For -purposes of permitfing, the collection -system is considered to be any existing or.newly installed system extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point.of connection with a .separately -owned -sewer system. The collection system -is .considered all gravity"lines, pump stations, force mains, low pressure sewer systems,:STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping, valves and appurtenances that help to collect, manage and transport wastewater to a wastewater treatment plant under the Permittee's ownership or maintained and operated by the Permittee through a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite systems are systems tributary to the Permittee's collection system but those collection systems are not owned or maintained by the Permittee. The system description provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant to provide a general idea about the size of the system and may not be all inclusive of the collection system at the time of permit issuance or afterward. A release of wastewater from the wastewater collection system is referred to.herein as a Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options after.a.SSO will be determined considering the criteria listed in condition 1(2) (a) and 1(2).(b) of the permit and all ofher.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 (800) 858-0368.

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 hftp://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 11, 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.

This permit shall .be effective from the date of.issuance until May.31., 2010.and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations: I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the Bradfield Farms Wastewater Treatment Facility (NC0064734) prior to being disposed into the receiving stream This collectionsystem.permit will�be'referenced upon renewal or modification of your NPDES permit(s). 2. The wastewater collection system shall be effectively managed, maintained and operated at all times so that there is no SSO to land or surface waters, nor any contamination of groundwater. In 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: PERMIT NUMBER WQCS00253 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 enforcement policy 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 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. Based on your application, this system currently serves individual homeowners and no commercial entities. The Division therefore, will not require the development of the inspection and enforcement program for this permit cycle. The Division will evaluate the need for a enforcement program upon permit renewal. An educational campaign for homeowners shall be implemented. 5. The Permittee shall implement a Capital Expenditure Plan (Plan) to designate funding for reinvestment into the wastewater collection system infrastructure. The Plan should typically cover a three to five year period and include a goal statement, description of the project area, description of the existing facilities, allow for contingency funds for pump replacements, main renovations and other routine capital expenditures. Limited system specific expenditures shall be included for such things as lift station replacements, generators, major main renovations, etc. The-Permittee shall develop and present a Plan meeting this permit condition within 12 months of a permit issuance. A copy of the Plan shall be provided to the Mooresville Regional Office, Surface Water Protection Section -to show compliance with this condition. 6. 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. 2 PERMIT NUMBER WQCS00253 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 2H .0219(h)(7). 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 weather-proof 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 con dition'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.

No. WQCS00253 Bradfield Farms Water Company Bradfield Farms Collection System Cabarrus County In accordance with your application received on May 26, 2005, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQCS00253, dated June 20, 2005, to Bradfield Farms Water Company for the operation and maintenance of the subject wastewater collection system. This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 31, 2010. 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. Compliance schedules requiring action and regional notification are shown in bold. For purposes of permitting, the collection -system is considered to be any existing or newly installed system extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection with a separately -owned sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations, force mains, low pressure sewer systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping, valves and appurtenances that help to collect, manage and transport wastewater to a wastewater treatment plant under the Permittee's ownership or maintained and operated by the Permittee through a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite systems are systems tributary to the Permittee's collection system but those collection systems are not owned or maintained by the Permittee. The system description provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant to provide a general idea about the size of the system and may not be all inclusive of the collection system at the time of permit issuance or afterward. A release of wastewater from the wastewater collection system is referred to herein as a Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options after a SSO will be determined considering the criteria listed in condition 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.

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 http://h2o.enr.sfafe.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.

This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 31, 2010 and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations: I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the Bradfield Farms Wastewater Treatment Facility (NC0064734) prior to being disposed into the receiving stream. This collection system permit will be referenced upon renewal or modification of your NPDES permit(s). 2. The wastewater collection system shall be effectively managed, maintained and operated at all times so that there is no SSO to land or surface waters, nor any contamination of groundwater. In 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: PERMIT NUMBER WQCS00253 �_i 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 enforcement policy 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 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. Based on your application, this system currently serves individual homeowners and no commercial entities. The Division therefore, will not require the development of the inspection and enforcement program for this permit cycle. The Division will evaluate the need for a enforcement program upon permit renewal. An educational campaign for homeowners shall be implemented. The Permittee shall implement a Capital Expenditure Plan (Plan) to designate funding for reinvestment into the wastewater collection system infrastructure. The Plan should typically cover a three to five year period and include a goal statement, description of the project area, description of the existing facilities, allow for contingency funds for pump replacements, main renovations and other routine capital expenditures. Limited system specific expenditures shall be included for such things as lift station replacements, generators, major main renovations, etc. The Permittee shall develop and present a Plan meeting this permit condition within 12 months of a permit issuance. A copy of the Plan shall be provided to the Mooresville Regional Office, Surface Water Protection Section to show compliance with this condition. 6. 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. 2 PERMIT NUMBER WQCS00253 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 2H .0219(h)(7). 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 weather-proof 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 permit. II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS Upon classification of the collection system by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall designate and employ a certified operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) and one or more certified operator(s) to be back-up ORC(s) of the facilities in accordance with 15A NCAC 8G .0201. The ORC shall visit the system within 24 hours of knowledge of a bypass, spill, or overflow of wastewater from the system, unless visited by the Back -Up ORC, and shall comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 8G .0204. 2. The Permittee shall develop and adhere to a schedule for reviewing all inspection, maintenance, operational and complaint logs. If the review process results in the identification of any recurring problem in the wastewater collection system, that can not be resolved in a short time period, the Permittee shall establish a plan for addressing the problem(s). 3. The Permittee shall develop and adhere to a schedule for testing emergency and standby equipment. 4. The Permittee shall develop and implement a routine pump station inspection and maintenance program, which shall include, but not be limited to, the following maintenance activities: a. Cleaning and removing debris from the pump station structure, outside perimeter, and wet well; b. Inspecting and exercising all valves; c. Inspecting and lubricating pumps and other mechanical equipment according to the manufacturer's recommendations; and d. Verifying the proper operation of the alarms, telemetry system and auxiliary equipment. 5. For each pump station without pump reliability (i.e. simplex pump stations serving more than a single building or pump stations not capable of pumping at a rate of 2.5 times the average daily flow rate with the largest pump out of service), at least one fully operational spare pump capable of pumping peak flow shall be maintained on hand. 3 PERMIT NUMBER WQCS00253 Q 6. The Permittee shall maintain on hand at least two percent of the number of pumps installed, but no less than two pumps, that discharge to a pressure sewer and serve a single building, unless the Permittee has the ability to purchase and install a replacement pump within 24 hours of first knowledge of the simplex pump failure or within the storage capacity provided in any sewer line extension permit. Rights -of -way and/or easements shall be properly maintained to allow accessibility to the wastewater collection system unless the Permittee can demonstrate the ability to gain temporary access in an emergency situation where existing land -use conditions do not allow the establishment and maintenance of permanent access. In this case, the Permittee shall continue to observe the lines visually, utilize remote inspection methods (e.g. CCTV) and use the opportunity of drier conditions to perform further inspections and necessary maintenance. 8. The Permittee shall assess cleaning needs, and develop and implement a program for appropriately cleaning, whether by hydraulic or mechanical methods, all sewer lines. At least 10 percent of the wastewater collection system, selected at the discretion of the ORC, shall be cleaned each year. Preventative cleaning is not required for sewer lines less than five years old unless inspection otherwise reveals the need for cleaning or cleaning is required by a sewer line extension permit. 9. Adequate measures shall be taken to contain and properly dispose of materials associated with SSOs. The Permittee shall maintain a Response Action Plan that addresses the following minimum items: a. Contact phone numbers for 24-hour response, including weekends and holidays; b. Response time; c. Equipment list and spare parts inventory; d. Access to cleaning equipment; e.

SANITARY SEWER OVERFLOW AND SPILL RESPONSE ACTION PLAN Bradfield Farms Sanitary Sewer Collection System, Mecklenburg and Cabarrus Counties WQCS00253 A Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO) can endanger the environment and affect the health of individuals and wildlife that come in contact. It is the policy of our company that any and all SSO's be investigated immediately and actions taken to prevent or minimize any and all environmental impact. The public should contact our 24 hour customer service number at 1-800-525-7990 and provide as much information as possible on the location of the problem. On -call staff _ will be dispatched immediately for full investigation. This number will reach our office during normal business hours and then an emergency call service center after normal business hours. Available and current on -call staff information is kept at all times to ensure that appropriate staff can be dispatched immediately. All lift stations, wastewater treatment plants and sewer facilities will have signage posted conspicuously with our 24-hour contact number, the facility identifier and instructions for notification. Any operations employee that comes across an SSO should contact the Operating Manager, Area Manager or Regional Manager immediately and take immediate action to assess, minimize, prevent or mitigate any such event. Our goal is to be on site as quickly as possible and within an hour and no later than two hours after first notice. The initial on -site evaluation will be done at arrival to the site. The local Operating Manager/ORC of the system will be the primary interface between the company and the NC Dept. of Environment and Natural Resources, Division of Water Quality (DWQ) and county health department (if required). The appropriate manager will follow the current and then in place SSO reporting policy as designated by DWQ (see attached reporting form) or any other regulatory agency having jurisdiction. As of the writing of this document, these requirements are; Report any spill of 1,000 gallons or more; and Report any spill, regardless of the volume, if gLny waste reaches the surface waters of the State. Any conveyances such as drainage ditches or storm sewers are considered waters of the State. 1) Report by telephone to a person (not a fax or voicemail) to the Mooresville Regional DWQ Office at 704-663-1699 during normal business hours (Monday through Friday, 8 am to 5 pm) as soon as possible, but in no case more that 24 hours after the SSO is known or discovered. To report outside of regular business hours, call (800) 858-0368. 2) Follow up the verbal report by sending the completed written report using the attached form or most current within five days. 3) If the discharge involves 1,000 gallons or more AND reaches surface waters, a press release must be issued within 48 hours of first notification. If the discharge is 15,000 gallons or more, a public notice must be published within 10 days and proof of publication shall be provided to DWQ within 30 days. Containment Procedures As soon as an employee arrives at the site of the SSO, he/she shall use whatever means necessary and available to contain the spill as to prevent it from reaching surface waters or to minimize its impact on those waters. If there is no danger or potential of the SSO reaching surface waters, the SSO should be contained in as small an area as possible by use of any means possible such as construction of dams, ditches, checks etc. The sewage contained or collected shall be returned to the sewer system or taken to the WWTP by pumps, pumper trucks or other available means. If possible, a blocked or damaged section of collection main should be temporarily bypassed around the problem area using transfer pumps from an upstream manhole into a downstream manhole. The damaged main section should be plugged if possible to prevent waste from entering the problem area. The area should be sectioned off to prevent any unauthorized person from entering the contaminated area. Blockage Correction Employees should treat a reported blockage with utmost urgency to prevent any spill or backup from causing environmental or home damage. The first person on site should try to assess the problem and determine if flow can be maintained or restored using temporary pump bypass or other means, of if the problem area can be blocked off and the waste transported from a manhole to the WWTP using a pump or pumper truck. Contractors should be called immediately and employee should stay on site or within close distance to assist with emergency work. Containment and bypass equipment and measures shall remain on site until the blockage is corrected. Clean up Remove all debris such as plastic, paper or other materials from the site; bag or place in a container and dispose of properly in dumpster at WWTP site. If possible and practical, clean or wash area the area thoroughly and return this water to the sewer system or treatment plant. If on soil or dirt, apply a liberal layer of white hydrated lime to raise the pH and kill pathogenic organisms and to treat for odor. Apply straw and grass seed if appropriate. If the SSO reaches surface waters, every effort should be made to contain the spill area by use of dams near a manhole or area accessible to a pumper truck and mobile equipment. The contained area should be pumped back into the sewer system. Two employees or one employee and a contractor shall be present at all times while the pump is operated. Backhoe or other equipment should be available to help maintain earthen dams until clean up efforts are complete. If possible, the area should be flushed with potable water and that water also returned to the sewer system. The operator should try and use a broom or other measures to agitate sludge on the bottom during the pumping and cleaning efforts to make sure it is all retrieved. Rocks and rip -rap should be washed of residue. If surface waters are used for drinking source or recreation, additional measures must be taken to notify local health departments. Water samples to include dissolved oxygen and fecal bacteriological samples should be taken frequently before clean up, during and after clean up. In addition, samples should be taken upstream and downstream of the affected area. Post Evaluation and Assessment Within 24 hours of any SSO, the area must be visited and evaluated by the Collection System Operator in Responsible Charge or if unavailable, a system backup ORC of record. The ORC / backup will ensure that permit conditions have been addressed, clean up is complete or on -going and that reporting requirements have been satisfied. Spare Parts and Equipment List Portable trailer mounted generator to operate pump stations and/or electrical equipment in the event of power loss or in remote locations are kept in good running order at all times at the WWTP location. Common parts such as electrical components (elapsed time meters, voltage phase monitors, etc.) are kept in stock at the Charlotte Operations Warehouse and can be accessed at all times by a supervisor. White hydrated lime is kept on hand at the WWTP for spill abatement. Normal hand tools such as shovels, rakes etc. are kept on the Operator's truck or at the WWTP. The ORC or Operating Manager must be familiar with all pumping equipment brands and have means to contact a distributor or representative for expedited parts.

It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this permit. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this permit. Compliance schedules requiring action and regional notification are shown in bold. For purposes of permitting, the collection -system is considered to be any existing or newly installed stem exten i ifzo the wastewater treatment facility mmlDerty or mint of connectbn With n separately -owned sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines, pump stations, force mains, low pressure sewer systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc. and associated piping, valves and appurtenances that help to collect, manage and,transport wastewater to a wastewater treatment plant under the Permittee's ownership or maintained and operated by the Permittee through a perpetual legal agreement. Satellite systems are systems tributary to the Permittee's collection system but those collection systems are not owned or maintained by the Permittee. The system description provided on Page 1 of this permit is meant to provide a general idea about the size of the system and may not be all inclusive of the collection system at the time of permit issuance or afterward. A release of wastewater from the wastewater collection system is referred to herein as a Sanitary Sewer Overflow (SSO). The evaluation of enforcement options after a SSO will be determined considering the criteria listed in condition 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 (800) 858-0368.

Mr. Lashua June 20, 2005 Page 2 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 htfi2://h2o.enr.sfate.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 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 (919) 733-5083 extension-527 if _� � ��-you -seed-erdditiIInal-infarmati-o concerning this permit, Please contact Jon Risgaard in the Pretreatment, Emergency Response and Collection Systems Unit at (919) 733-5083 extension 580.

This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until May 31, 2010 and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations: PERFORMANCE STANDARDS l . The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the Bradfield Farms Wastewater Treatment Facility (NC0064734) prior to being disposed into the receiving stream. This collection system permit will be referenced upon renewal or modification of your NPDES permit(s).- 2. The wastewater collection system shall be effectively managed, maintained and operated at all times so that there is no SSO to land or surface waters, nor any contamination of groundwater. In 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: PERMIT NUMBER WQCS00253 a) The SSO was caused by severe natural conditions; there were no feasible altematives 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 11, 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 enforcement policy 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 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. Based on your application, this system currently serves individual homeowners and no commercial entities. The Division therefore, will not require the development of the inspection and enforcement program for this permit cycle. The Division will evaluate the need for a enforcement program upon permit renewal. An educational campaign for homeowners shall be implemented. 5. The Permittee shall implement a Capital Expenditure Plan (Plan) to designate funding for reinvestment into the wastewater collection system infrastructure. The Plan should typically cover a three to five year period and include a goal statement, description of the project area, description of the existing facilities, allow for contingency funds for pump replacements, main renovations and other routine capital expenditures. Limited system specific expenditures shall be included for such things as lift station replacements, generators, major main renovations, etc. The Permittee shall develop and present a Plan meeting this permit condition within 12 months of a permit issuance. A copy of the Plan shall be provided to the Mooresville Regional Office, Surface Water Protection Section to show compliance with this condition. 6. 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. 2 PERMIT NUMBER WQCS00253 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 2H .0219(h) (7). 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 weather-proof 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.

If the spill reaches surface waters - in any amount - it is very important to document stream quality up stream and down stream of the spill. This should include visual observations, DO readings and pH readings. The up stream sample should be 100' up stream. The down stream should be at two locations, 100' and 1 mile. These observations should be reported in the comments section of the state form. This is very important and must be done as soon as possible after the condition has been corrected. Clean up of the site must be complete. Apply hydrated lime the area to raise the pH and control pathogens and to control any odor. If in doubt, consult your supervisor or manager on call promptly.

Sullins, Deputy Director Division of Water Quality October 17, 2003 Carl Daniel, Vice President Bradfield Farms Water Company P.O. Box 240908 Charlotte, NC 28224 SUBJECT: Wastewater Collection Systems Revised Enforcement and Spill Reporting Policy for Collection System Overflows Application/Registration No. WQCS00253 Bradfield Farms Collection System Dear Mr. Daniel: 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. Since 1999, SSO enforcement actions were based on a point system that assigned various values to different aspects of an overflow. The Division expects collection system owners to operate and maintain their collection systems on a preventative and proactive basis to eliminate overflows and comply with existing laws and regulations. Therefore, the "points" system will no longer be used. Effective immediately, any SSO is subject to a possible enforcement action such as a Notice of Violation and/or a civil penalty assessment. 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 person (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 (800) 858-0368. 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 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. 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 collectionsystem. 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 working days. ,I .Fx1617 Mail Service Center Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617 (919) 733-5083 Customer Service i"`� E;E 1-877-623-6748 Sewvaae Spill Response Eva][Uatioyt: (page 1 of 2) Permit Number County P ermittee Incident Ended: (DateMme)/ Estimated Duration (Time) First knowledge of incident (Date! i <me) l Estimated volume of spill/bypass gallons.
