Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Permit No. WQCS00341
China Grove Collection System
Rowan County
Dear Mr. Deal:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Ms. Barbara Sifford, of.the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Mooresville Regional Office (MRO)
conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) of the Town of China Grove's wastewater collection
system permit number WQCS00341, on May 24, 2011. The assistance and cooperation of Mr. Kent Mishak
and other town staff was greatly appreciated. Please note that the sections completed on the report pertain only
to the areas that were inspected. An inspection report is included for your records and inspection findings are
detailed in this report.
The collection system for the Town of China Grove consists of approximately 28.5 miles of gravity
sewer line, 3 miles of force main and five (5) duplex pump stations. The system conveys wastewater to
Salisbury Rowan Utilities collection system and is treated under the WWTP (NPDES NC0023884). Currently
the system is classified as a CS -2, serving a population of approximately 4000. As of July 1, 2011 the
operation and maintenance of this system is to be conducted by Salisbury Rowan Utilities. As of this date the
ownership naive change forin has not been received, or a permit recession request by the Division of Water
Quality. Since this system is contiguous with the Salisbury Rowan System they can be combined into one
collection system. The permit was issued in December 2008 with no compliance schedules, the expiration date
was extended due to SL 2009-406 and now has a new expiration date of November 30, 2016. The ORC has
retired so if the permit remains active a new ORC should be designated within 120 days.
A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) was developed in June 2008 and covered a 5 year period for both water and
sewer projects with projected costs.

Inspections, Operation and Maintenance and Records
Documentation of high priority line inspection was provided and is documented every six months as
required. Pump stations are equipped with SCADA systems for alarm monitoring and are checked on a daily
basis. Records of daily inspections were documented.
Line cleaning exceeded the 10 % requirement. Several areas of the collection system are on a scheduled
cleaning to remove debris that builds up due to low flow in the lines. Two pump stations have permanent
generators and the others are supported by one portable generator not all stations have a quick connect plug for
the generator. Contract pump and haul is also used to maintain flow conveyance during a power failure.
Sewer line right—of-ways were accessible during the inspection. Mill Hill aerial had some vegetation
around it so it was not easily visible for a drive by inspection during pump station checks. Azalea Lane aerial
could use some ditch line stabilization.
If you have any questions concerning this inspection report or noted record keeping requirements, please
do not hesitate to contact me at 704-235-2196.

This letter.is in reply to your Notice of violation, tracking number NOV-2006-PC-0034,
Dated February 16, 2006.
Although the responsibility of record keeping lies directly on me, I assigned this duty to
our Water ORC Tracy Eagle. He accepted the job of keeping all system and lift station
records with the crew reporting all actions to him for documentation. Tracy retired at the
first of the year and when you did your inspection it became apparent he had not
maintained the records as he and I had discussed. I had little reason to question him due
to the excellent way he maintained the water system records and test. Tracy took a great
deal of pride in that portion of his duties and especially getting the Town several Wavers
in water testing. The SCADA problem that surfaced during the January event was
corrected immediately. Mr. Bill Ward of Harrisburg Equipment Company changed the
control configuration and all data is saved and the system returns to normal after any
power interruption. The SCADA/Dialer system has performed flawlessly.
Since your inspection, the logs have been kept far above the State requirements. I am
training the entire crew on all possible problems that may be encountered in the system as
well as the lift stations. I visit the stations several times a week to evaluate the crew's
performance as well as checking the documentation. Documentation in all aspects of our
duties is addressed every morning before the crew leaves the office.

l . 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].
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/peres/Collection%2OSvstems/CollectionSystemsHome html from the SSO
Reporting 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.
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
Thomas Ascenzo in the Pretreatment, Emergency Response and Collection Systems Unit at (919) 807-
6313.

NORTH CAROLINA
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT COMMISSION
DEPARTMENT OF ENVIRONMENT AND NATURAL RESOURCES
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 China Grove
Rowan County
FOR THE
operation and maintenance of a wastewater collection system consisting of, at the time of permit
issuance, approximately 28.5 miles of gravity sewer, approximately 3 miles of force main, 4 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 China Grove and any deemed
permitted satellite communities, pursuant to the application received on November 7, 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 the December 1, 2008 until November 30, 2013 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 City of Salisbury
Wastewater Treatment Facility (NC0023884) prior to being disposed into the Grants Creeki 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:
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 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 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.
5. The Permittee shall adopt and implement a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to designate
funding for reinvestment into the wastewater collection system infrastructure. 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.
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.
2

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 02T
.305(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 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
1. 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 cannot 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.
3

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.
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.
7. . 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

China Grove Collection System
Rowan County
Dear Mr. Davis:
In accordance with your application received on July 18, 2003, and additional information received
November 17, 2003, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQCS00341, dated December 18, 2003, to the
Town of China Grove for the operation and maintenance of the subject wastewater collection system.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until November 30, 2008. 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.
The Division eliminated the 1999 point system used to determine enforcement options for sanitary sewer
overflows in October 2003. 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 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:
a) Report 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 discovered. To report outside of regular business hours,
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 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 I(2) of
your permit. Form CS-SSO can be downloaded from littp://h2o.elir.state.nc.Lis/ndceL/ 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 the Non -Discharge
Compliance and Enforcement Unit of the North Carolina Division of Water Quality at [phone]. If you
need additional information concerning this permit, please contact Nathaniel Thornburg in the Non -Discharge
Permitting Unit at [phone] extension 533.

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 China Grove
Rowan County
FOR THE
operation and maintenance of a wastewater collection system consisting of, at the time of permit issuance,
approximately 26 miles of gravity sewer, approximately 1 mile of force main, three (3) 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 China Grove and any deemed permitted satellite communities, pursuant to
the application received on July 18, 2003, 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 the date of issuance until November 30, 2008, and shall be subject to the
following specified conditions and limitations:
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
The sewage and wastewater collected by this system shall be treated in the City of Salisbury
Wastewater Treatment Facility (NC0023884) prior to being disposed into Grants Creek. 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 discharge 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 sanitary sewer system discharges
that must be reported to the Division as stipulated in Condition IV(2). This includes discharges 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 WQCS00341 10/03

a. The discharge was caused by severe natural conditions; there were no feasible alternatives to the
discharge, 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 discharge was exceptional, unintentional, temnorary and caused by factors be.vnnd the
reasonable control of the Permittee; the discharge 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 discharge 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.
The Permittee shall have the legal authority to implement the requirements of Condition I(4); require
new sewers be properly constructed; ensure proper inspection and testing of sewers and laterals; and
address flows from satellite systems.
4. The Permittee shall maintain an educational and enforcement program that requires the proper
operation and maintenance of all grease traps and septic tanks connected to the wastewater collection
system. The educational program should target both residential and commercial users.
The Permittee shall implement a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to designate funding for
reinvestment into the wastewater collection system infrastructure. 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.
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.
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 for anyone to call if the
visual alarm illuminates, if the audible alarm sounds, or if an emergency is apparent.
Pump station sites, equipment and components shall have restricted access, per 15A NCAC 2H
.0219(h)(7).
PERMIT `VQCS00341 10/03

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, equipment and components
located within rHo pump station Shall be corrosion_,-6Qtant anrd rnmrnnnents in close. proxirnity of the
loCawu Vv 111 In Lt ��+
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 I.2. of this permit.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. 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 maintain a schedule for reviewing all inspection, maintenance,
operational and complaint logs. Once recurring problems are identified in the wastewater collection
system because of the review process, the Permittee shall establish a plan for addressing the
problem(s) if they can not be resolved in a short time period. The Permittee shall define and adhere to
a review period.
3. The Permittee shall develop and maintain a schedule for testing emergency and standby equipment.

Town of China Grove
China Grove Collection System
Rowan County
In accordance with your application received on July 18, 2003, and additional information received
November 17, 2063, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQCS00341, dated December 18, 2003, to the
Town of China Grove for the operation and maintenance of the subject wastewater collection system.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until November 30, 2008. 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.
The Division eliminated the 1999 point system used to determine enforcement options for sanitary sewer
overflows in October 2003. 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 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:
a) Report 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 discovered. To report outside of regular business hours,
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 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 I(2) of
your permit. Form CS-SSO can be downloaded from http://li2o.eiir,state.nc.us/ndceLi/ 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.

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 China Grove
Rowan County
operation and maintenance of a wastewater collection system consisting of, at the time of permit issuance,
approximately 26 miles of gravity sewer, approximately 1 mile of force main, three (3) 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 China Grove and any deemed permitted satellite communities, pursuant to
the application received on July 18, 2003, 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 the date of issuance until November 30, 2008, 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 City of Salisbury
Wastewater Treatment Facility (NC0023884) prior to being disposed into Grants Creek. 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 discharge 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 sanitary sewer system discharges
that must be reported to the Division as stipulated in Condition IV(2). This includes discharges 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 WQCS00341 10/03

a. The discharge was caused by severe natural conditions; there were no feasible alternatives to the
discharge, 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 discharge was excerntional, unintPntional, temporary and caused by factors beyond the
reasonable control of the Permittee; the discharge 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 discharge 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 have the legal authority to implement the requirements of Condition I(4); require
new sewers be properly constructed; ensure proper inspection and testing of sewers and laterals; and
----addressflows-from satellite -systems — ---- — -— —- --
4. The Permittee shall maintain an educational and enforcement program that requires the proper
operation and maintenance of all grease traps and septic tanks connected to the wastewater collection
system. The educational program should target both residential and commercial users.
The Permittee shall implement a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to designate funding for
reinvestment into the wastewater collection system infrastructure. 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.
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.
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 for anyone to call 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).
PERMIT WQCS00341 10/03

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, 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 I.2. of this permit.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. 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

China Grove, NC 28023
Subject: Notice of Deficiency.
Non -Discharge Compliance Inspection
Wastewater Collection System
Permit No. WQCS00341
China Grove - Rowan County
Dear Mr. Davis:
Enclosed is a copy of the Collection System Inspection Report for the inspection
conducted on November 12, 2003 by Ms. Barbara Sifford of this office. A copy of this
report should be forwarded to Mr. Kent Mishak, the Collection System Operator -in -
Responsible Charge (ORC). A formal response to Mr. Nathaniel Thornburg's letter of
August 26, 2003 should be submitted to formally complete the permit application. As
was discussed by Ms. Sifford with you during the inspection, no compliance schedule is
necessary for permit compliance; therefore all permit conditions will be effective as
presented to you on November 12, 2003 when the permit is issued.
The collection system for the Town of China Grove consists of 26 miles of sewer
line, including three forced main sections totaling 1 mile and two aerial line locations.
The collection system has three pump stations to convey wastewater to the City of
Salisbury collection system and ultimately to the Salisbury WWTP (NPDES
NC0023884).
The following comments correspond to the sections of the Compliance Inspection
Report as reviewed with the ORC on November 12, 2003. Since no compliance schedule
was requested these deficiencies should be corrected immediately. A response to this
letter is not necessary, but a follow up inspection will be conducted. At that time if these
items have not been corrected and record -keeping logs maintained, a Notice of Violation
for the collection system permit will be issued.

Performance Standards
The Town of China Grove adopted a Sewer Use Ordinance in May 2003. The
ordinance contains an enforcement section and an oil and grease limit. There have been
no enforcement actions by the Town since this ordinance was passed. Grease traps have
been installed where necessary.
A Capitol Improvement Plan (CIP) was prepared for FY03-04 to address the short
and long term needs of the sewer department. A jet machine, is scheduled to be
purchased in FY04-05. The Town has almost completed replacing six miles of sewer line
and the Mill Hill Pump Station. The debt for this loan is listed in the annual operating
budget. The budget should include sufficient funds for spare parts and inventory for
emergency repairs to the system as needed.
Notification signs were posted at each pump station, but the signage only included
the towns daytime phone number and an after hours number. No identifying information
for owner or name of pump station was provided. The signs need to include all the
information listed in the attached inspection report. All three pump stations have
SCADA. Audible and Visual alarms were not working or not present on all 3 pump
stations. It is recommended that these alarms be installed and perform as a backup should
a SCADA communication failure occur.
Inspections
Maintenance records and pump station inspection records were not being
maintained. Inspection records of the collection system and high priority lines also were
not available. Neither were records of citizen complaints. A log of date, response time,
action taken, and cause of problem needs to be maintained. The enclosed compliance
evaluation inspection section lists the information that should be available for review
during an inspection.
Oaeration and Maintenance
Documentation as listed in this section of the enclosed report, for pump stations,
emergency generators, and right of way maintenance needs to be established and
maintained for review during an inspection. A Spill Response Action Plan is available
for all personnel.. Spare pumps were available for two of the pump stations. It is
recommended that a spare pump be ordered for the Mill Hill station; however, having a
contractor with rental pumps for pump around is an acceptable backup plan until a spare
can be purchased.

Pump Stations
All three pump stations were inspected. Audible and visual alarms need to be
installed (and functional) at each pump station as a backup to the SCADA system.
General housekeeping was acceptable at each of the stations and all pumps were present
and operable. A quick connect for the generator was not available or adaptable at any of
the three pump stations. In an emergency situation quick connects could reduce the
quantity of a spill resulting from a power outage. All pump stations were free of bypass
piping: nor were there any signs of overflows.
Records
Records of all spills and complaints need to be maintained for tracking trouble
spots in the collection system. A map of the system will be obtained from the consultant
engineers that shows all modifications and extensions made to the system. The degree
that the information is complete will have to be determined at a later inspection, when the
map can be reviewed. At a minimum, twenty percent should be complete since six miles
of the collection system has been replaced.
Manhole
Manholes inspected were in good condition with covers present and no visible
signs of overflow, no sinkholes, or depressions, and no bypass structures or pipes. All
lines were free flowing and unrestricted. Several manholes that were checked adjacent to
the Salisbury interceptor showed signs of infiltration of groundwater.
Monitoring and Reporting Requirements
No press releases or public notices were available as no spills have been reported.
An annual collection system report listing spills and general information about the system
will be published in the quarterly newsletter. Information for the calendar year of 2003
will be published in first quarter of 2004.
Lines / Right -of —Ways/ Aerial Lines
All lines and right-of-ways that were visited were accessible, free of sinkholes
and had no evidence of leakage. The only aerial line checked was at the Mill Hill Pump
Station, and it was in good condition. A second aerial line was also determined to exist
in the system. The Salisbury interceptor parallels Grant Creek, and is not impaired by
stream bank erosion in the areas that were checked. This line is owned and maintained
by the City of Salisbury.

Please be advised that failure to abide by the conditions stated in the permit may
subject the Permittee to enforcement actions. Failure to report a spill can also result in a
civil penalty.
If you have any questions concerning this report or the permit conditions and
requirements, please do not hesitate to contact Ms. Sifford or me at [phone].

Re: China Grove Application WQCS00341
I did an inspection and permit review with Eric Davis and Kent Mishak on Wednesday, November
12, 2003. The town can comply with the permit as it is written with no compliance schedules.
The Town has almost completed the replacement of 6 miles of sewer line and the Mill Hill lift
station. This was a loan and is debt service in the budget numbers at $205,100 for this FY. There is
no long-term money in the CIP for sewer since this total project is $2.8 million. No other areas are
noted at this time as planned for correction.
Flow for 2002 is daily average of 0.477 MGD for 2003 the 9-month average is 0.6846 due to the
rainfall. Flow % is 86% domestic 7% industrial and 7% other.
No overflow piping.
Population is 3,664 Active sewer taps is 1553..1."
Working on identifying the high priority lines. ?aerial lines noted Spring Hill and Mill Hill
All three (3) pumps stations have SCADA. Two have alarms one has none but will be installed soon.
ORC is Kent Mishak BORC is David Ketner Grade 1 Certificate No 27510 issued June 26, 2002.
The O&M budget is collection system only. No treatment facilities. Water is separated.
The SUO was adopted in May 2003. With a FOG section and enforcement. I copiedthosepages.
Spill reporting annual report will be put in towns)newsletter issued quarterly, 200 spills in first
quarter edition 2004. nQ S •--
A new collection system map will be obtained from J.N. Peace Eng. with new lines on it. Section
maps were available. A map was submitted with application and pump stations marked on it.
No pump station inspection and maintenance logs. No line inspection logs, no generator logs.
Updating response plan.
Draft permit can be issued as stands; all other items will be corrected by December 30, 2003.

Mr. Chen,
I apologize for the delay of these responses to the deficiencies noted during your
inspection.
1.2. All manholes not located in asphalt are above ground level.
I.4. The manhole in question has be grouted along with four others that were found
during further inspection.
1.9. Vented manholes are located at high points and areas not subject to flooding.
II. 4. & 5. All creek and ditch crossings, lines, supports and headwalls have been
inspected and found in good condition.
11. 6. 75% of all lines are under paved streets, others are located on well maintained
right-of-ways that are mowed three times a year.
PUMP STATIONS:
5. Solids removed and manholes flushed in areas in question and also all heads in
the system.
6. All three lift stations have dialers with float switches and are on dedicated phone
lines. We feel this is superior to the warning lights and buzzers that are constantly
damaged by weather and children.
7. All dialers are functioning properly and tested weekly.
11. Only one lift station (Mill Village) requires air releases at the station and they
were in place at he time of inspection and functioning properly. All three force mains
have air releases at high points and are checked quarterly of when in question.
12. The Town is in negotiating Rowan County and neighboring Towns for a mutual
aid agreement for use of a generator in case of emergency. We have a contact list of
contractors pump wet pits until generators are available.

13. Signs were installed at each lift station with a 24 hour contact number.
14. The drive to the Centerview lift station has a cable installed and the other two lift
stations have locked seven foot fences around them.
17. All three lift stations are inspected daily during the week and chemicals for grease
and odor control are added manually. I have ordered automatic chemical pumps and
expect them installed within two months.
18. All three lift stations have run time meters and the Mill Village station has a flow
totallizer that functions correctly.
COLLECTION SYSTEM FILE REVIEW;
1.9. China Grove is a small Town with a small crew so keeping records on things we
simply address when they come up is rare. Those of us that have been here several years
or more know where the problem areas are and we concentrate our inspections in those
areas. this is all a part of the job.
I have started a documentation procedure for all inspections and problems.
We have more than adequate spare parts on hand and do all repairs in-house
along with a contractor/supplier contact list.
The Town has been approved for a 2.7 million dollar state loan to replace nearly
all trouble spots and other areas of concern are to be phased out during a long term
capital improvement program.
All the above mentioned concerns where corrected prior to November 30, 1999.
