In response to the above mentioned N.O.V. please find the attachments that detail
remedial and corrective actions for the Food Lion Pump Station.
In summary, I have had the pump station checked out completely by a licensed
electrician and the most significant problem found was the Auto Dialer would not
function due to a blown surge arrestor, this has been repaired and verified operational.
A second issue was an "ice cube" relay had been tampered with, although it tested good I
will have it replaced because its proper operation is suspect.
I have also included, for your review, a copy of our revised SSO STANDARD
OPERATING PROCEDURE / EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN, and the DAILY

Joe,
As you requested, we visited this job -site yesterday. We arrived and performed the extra
work you desired. We also performed a thorough inspection of the different electrical
aspects of the pump station. We offer the following comments for your consideration:
1.It appears that this pump station was installed and placed into service in 1992 or early
1993. Regardless, the station has operated as designed for almost 17 years.
2.You asked that we install a surge arrestor for the electrical system. The existing pump
control .panel did have an arrestor installed originally. After this many years, it is
unknown if it still operates or not. I agree that a new unit should be installed. We
provided an Intermatic Model #AG6503 secondary surge arrestor/lightning arrestor. I
am attaching -a cut sheet of the particular unit so that you may keep this in your files
should you ever need to replace it or make a warranty claim for failure. This was
installed on the secondary/load side of the manual Transfer Switch. This will provide
protection for the station regardless .if the the station is being -powered by either the
local utility or your emergency generator.
3.We did perform some testing, adjusting, and general maintenance to the system. Please
review the following.

Note: We did find a problem with this. As you can see, Pump #1 seems to operate/run a lot
more than Pump #2. We found that the main control switch was set in the position of "1
then 2". This means that Pump #1 always started and ran first. Pump #2 is acting as the
lag pump in case of high water. We re -set the main control switch to the ALT position. This
means that the lead pump will alternate between Pump #1 and Pump #2. (this may have.
been set that way because of the "Seal Failure" alarm light for Pump #2 being on).
ALARM LIGHT OPERATIONAL
YES
ALARM BUZZER OPERATIONAL
YES -
ALARM AUTOMATIC PHONE DIALER OPERATIONAL
The phone dialer is connected to a 120 volt receptacle and the telephone lines via a small,
self contained surge arrestor inside the pump control panel. We found that it has been
"hit" and no longer works. Therefore, the automatic dialer would not function. We pointed
this out to you avid you were going to replace this surge arrestor later today. The phone
dialer is presently operational.
We also are replacing an "ice cube" relay inside the control panel that controls the alarm
function. It appears that this relay has been stuck in the past possibly welding the contacts
closed. It also appears that someone has pulled the cover of the relay apart and used some
type of tool to clean and separate the.contact points. Although it does work, we feel that it
needs to be replaced to be reliable. This relay operates the alarm buzzer/light and triggers
the dialer.
We did notice that a trouble light within the Pump Control Panel indicated a "Seal Failure —
Pump #2" was activated. It appears that there could be some type of problem with this
particular pump, however it is still operational. We verified the Seal Relay operation and
determined the problem is in fact in the pump case. I would strongly suggest that you get
this checked out by your current pump vendor.
All things considered, we are of the opinion that the electrical portion of this pump station
is in good condition. We can find no problems that should affect the overall safety and/or
operation of the system.
If you have any questions or need further assistance with this matter, feel free to call me at
any time. We do appreciate the opportunity of serving your electrical needs.

The AG6503(C) is a Metal Oxide Varistor
(MOV) based hardwired Lightning Protective IIIIIII o_949°
device that is UL listed as a Secondary Surge E—�I
Arrester, Category OWHX. These devices, 0.949
commonly called Lightning Arresters, have
been tested according to the ANSVIEEE-3.375"—>I 7/8" HEX -�
Standards C62.11 and C62.34. Secondary
Surge Arresters are designed to protect electrical equipment from the damaging effects of transient surges
caused by lightning, utility switching, electric motor cycling, insulation arcing and various other large or sud-
den changes in electric current flow.
The AG6503 is a three phase, three -pole arrester designed to protect all three phase voltage electrical sys-
tems. Installation of the arrester can be made indoors or outdoors. Secondary Surge Arresters may be installed
at the meter can or on the service entrance. Installation is allowed on the line side or the load side of the main
disconnect of the service. Arresters may also be installed at an individual piece of equipment.
The AG6503 housing is molded from weather and UV resistant polycarbonate which complies with the UL
Standard for strength and flame resistance.
All electrical connections in the AG Series are imbedded in a UL recognized epoxy to seal and protect them
from moisture and corrosion.
A partial list of applications that the AG Series is recommended for includes building electric service entrances,
garages, street lights, traffic control lights and controllers, parking lot lights, electric motors for irrigation and
farm applications,water and sewage lift stations.

The AG6503 is a three phase, three -pole arrester designed to protect all three phase voltage electrical sys-
tems. Installation of the arrester can be made indoors or outdoors. Secondary Surge Arresters may be installed
at the meter can or on the service entrance. Installation is allowed on the line side or the load side of the main
disconnect of the service. Arresters may also be installed at an individual piece of equipment.
The AG6503 housing is molded from weather and UV resistant polycarbonate which complies with the UL
Standard for strength and flame resistance.
All electrical connections in the AG Series are imbedded in a UL recognized epoxy to seal and protect them
from moisture and corrosion.
A partial list of applications that the AG Series is recommended for includes building electric service entrances,
garages, street lights, traffic control lights and controllers, parking lot lights, electric motors for irrigation and
farm applications,water and sewage lift stations.

NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Tracking No. NOV-2008-DV-0351
Collection System Permit
Number WQCS00125
Town of Mount Pleasant
Cabarrus County
A review has been conducted of Mount Pleasant's self reported Sanitary Sewer
Overflows (SSOs) 5-Day Report(s) for August 2008. This review has shown Mount Pleasant to
be in violation of the requirements found in Collection System Permit WQCS00125 and/or G.S.
143-215.1(a)(1). The violations that occurred during August 2008 are summarized in
Attachment A.
Remedial and corrective actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to prevent
further SSOs. As of December 1, 2007, any reportable SSO may be issued a Notice of Violation
(NOV) and some may be assessed a civil penalty. Civil penalties will be issued for SSOs based
on volume, volume reaching surface waters, duration and gravity, impacts to public health, fish
kills, and recreational area closures. Other factors considered in determining the amount of the
civil penalty are the violator's history of spills, the cost of rectifying the damage, whether the
spill was intentional, and whether money was saved by non-compliance.
Be advised that G.S. 143-215.6A provides for a civil penalty assessment of not more than
twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000), or twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000) per day when the
violation is of a continuing nature, against any person who is required but fails to apply for or to
secure a permit required by G.S. 143-215.1. Penalties may also be assessed for any damage to the
surface waters of the State that may result from the unpermitted discharge.

The SSOs noted in Attachment A under violation action as "Proceed to NOV" are the
overflows that the regional office has determined, after review of the CS-SSO 5-day report, that
may result in a civil penalty assessment. You have 10 days from receiving this Notice of
Violation letter to provide any additional justification for the identified SSOs as to why
these spills do not meet the criteria listed in this letter for civil penalty assessment.
If you have any questions regarding this policy please do not hesitate to contact Ms.
Barbara Sifford or myself at 704-663-1699.
