WASTEWATER SPILL IN GASTON COUNTY
This news release was issued on 4/4/16 in compliance with North Carolina
General Statute 143-215.1 C (a portion of the Clean Water Act of 1999). For
further information, contact Christy Gliddon, at 704/823-2333.
Pharr Yarns, LLC has cleaned up a sewer spill/overflow, which occurred [March
29, 2016 at approximately 5:00p.m. at 100 Saxony Dr. McAdenville N.C. due to
an electrical malfunction. The electrical components were fixed to prevent further
discharge.
Approximately 2000 gallons were discharged, with about 500 gallons entering an
unnamed tributary (in the form of a storm ditch) of the South Fork River of the
Catawba River Basin. No discharge reached the river. This spill has been
cleaned up and reported to the N.C. Division of Water Resources.

Dear Mr. Altice:
FILE,
A review has been conducted of the Pharr Yarns self reported Sanitary Sewer Overflows
(SSOs) 5-Day Report(s) for July 2011. This review has shown Pharr Yarns to be in violation of
the requirements found in Collection System Permit WQCSD0561 and/or G.S. 143-215.1(a)(1).
The violations that occurred during July 2011 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 Enforcement" 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 20 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 Mr. Lon
