Permit Rescission Request
Dear Mr. Weaver,
The Charlotte -Mecklenburg Utility Department (CMUD), in mutual agreement with Carolina
Water Service Inc. of North Carolina, made arrangements to sell and transfer the Lamplighter
Village East Subdivision's wastewater treatment plant (Lamplighter WWTP) to CMUD. This
transfer was effective on February 1, 2012. The ownership transfer form is attached for
reference.
The McKee ©utfall Sanitary Sewer, which was activated on January 16, 2013 (see attached
activation notification), diverted the flow from the Lamplighter WWTP. The plant has been
deactivated, thereby eliminating the effluent discharge into McKee Creek. The plant has been
cleaned out, disinfected and was inspected by NCDENR's Donna Hood on January 31, 2012.
CMUD has issued responses to Ms. Hood's final cleanup inspection comments. The full plant
demolition is currently being planned by CMUD and will be bid as a separate project.
Demolition is expected to take place this spring.
Therefore, we hereby voluntarily and officially request that the NPDES Permit No. NC0025259
be rescinded effective immediately. We also request that NCDENR record that the plant
discharge was eliminated on January 16, 2013.
If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact me at (704)
391-5137.
Sincerely,
Barry D. Shearin, PE

RE: Engineering Certification for Permit No. WQ0035524
McKee Creek Outfall - Mecklenburg County
Woolpert Project No. 071769
Dear Ms. Anita Reed:
The construction of the proposed facilities listed in Permit No. WQ0035524 is
substantially complete with the exception of the demolitions of the Stewarts Crossing
Pump Station, Turtle Rock Pump Station, Woodbury Pump Station, Avensong pump
station, the final flow diversion to abandon the Lamplighter WWTP and final surface
restorations throughout the project.
The Contractor is planning to transfer the flow from the Lamplighter WWTP into the
McKee ©utfall Line H on January 16, 2012. The plant abandonment and clean-up effort
is scheduled to occur directly after the flow transfer.
I've enclosed the second Partial Engineer's Certification for this project noting the
sewer infrastructure is substantially complete above Manhole 38. The section of the
project below Manhole no. 38 and pump station abandonment trunks were included in
the prior partial certification dated December 12, 2012. Once the contractor
completes the remaining pump station demolition efforts and the ground surface
restorations are complete, I will submit a final certification for the entire project.
Woolpert is also sending a copy of this letter to the Mooresville Regional Office as a
notification of the partial activation.
Please contact me at 704.526.3114 if you have any questions concerning the project.
Best regards,.

Thank you, Ms. Hood. Itsounds like you got ananswer onyour question inyour previous e-mail (attached) about from
whom the rescission letter should come. We will go ahead and get that letter to Mr. Weaver. Our consultant, VVoo|pert,
has drafted this letter for us to place on CMUD letterhead and had addressed the letter to Bob Sledge at this address:

Raleigh, NC27699-l6NI
Would that also be the correct address for getting the letter to Charles Weaver?
Regarding your clean-up list, our contractor, 8R6 |nc,went ahead and removed the minor amounts ofpaint, motor oil,
herbicide, etc. from the site yesterday.
The two Rain For Rent vacuum boxes will be disposed of at the CMS Landfill by Bio-Nomic Services by early next week at the
latest. I received word from the landfill manager that they are now cleared to bring that out and dump it.
| found out from Carolina Water that the filter media left on -site /snot anthracite, but rather asand/gravel
mixture. Nevertheless, we will include proper disposal of that material as the first order of business within the future
contract we put together for demolition of the facility.
We agree to keep the power turned off and locked out at the main two switches outside until, like you mention, our
demolition personnel need itinthe near future.

I wanted to send this final dean -up list as a follow-up:
1. Dispose of paint/oil associated chemicals on site
2. Final disposal of residuals in the 'Rain for Rent' container as well as the other container which has been moved off -site.
3. Proper disposal of the filter contents, believed to be anthracite.

Subject: NC0025259/Lamplighter Village per rescission request
Hi Charles,
I have a few quick questions for you. The City of Charlotte Utilities Dept, CMUD, has recently connected several package
plants in Mecklenburg County. Several have already had their associated permits rescinded. The latest is Lamplighter Village.
CMUD and Utilities Inc, formerly Carolina Water Service, have a signed agreement and property ownership has already
transferred to CMUD, a little over one year ago. However, the permits have not been issued in CMUD's name.
Can we rescind this permit if CMUD writes the letter? I have copied Michael Leggett because the last letters issued in
recognition of ownership change pertaining to the collection systems came from him. (Michael, do you have this one and can
you send an electronic copy to MRO?)
Second, after the ownership question is straightened out. Flow at the facility ceased on 1/16/2013. Can we forgive or
waive 'no flow' DMR submittal for February 2013 if we get this permit rescinded during the month of February? CMUD had
contracted with Utilities, Inc for WWTP operation and that contract ends today 1/31/2013...as well as the Toss of ORC today.
I visited the WWTP today, and have confirmed it is no longer receiving/discharging flow and all units have been emptied with
associated contents in the process of being properly disposed of.
As always, thanks for your help.

appropriate operator certification.
RECORDS/REPORTS:
Facility personnel maintain clear, organized records and reports. Calibration logs, daily
maintenance. logs, and activity logs are readily available at the site. MCWQP reviewed Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) for the period January 2008 through December 2008..All DMRs
were legible and appeared to be properly completed.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW:
All of the existing components of the facility appeared to be operating properly at the
time of the inspection. The ORC reports there have been no system malfunctions that resulted in
overflows Or bypasses.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Flow measurement is accomplished using a float to measure the head over a V-notch weir
in conjunction with a totalizer/continuous recording flow meter in accordance with 'NFDES
permit requirements. The flow meter was last calibrated on October 1.4, 2008.
LABORATORY:
Carolina Water Service, Inc. of NC is certified by the Division of Water Quabty to
perform field parameter laboratory., analyses (NC Laboratory Certification 4.5528) and contracts
with Prism Laboratories, Inc. (NC Laboratory Certification #402) and K & W Laboratories (NC

and Prism Laboratories, Inc, were not evaluated during this inspection. A review of
documentation and instrumentation associated with field parameter laboratory analyses was
completed during the inspection. No deficiencies were found.
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:
The effluent is discharged to an unnamed tributary of McKee Creek, classified C waters
within the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. The effluent 'vas clear at the time of the inspection.
The receiving water did not appear to be adversely affected by the effluent.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period January 2008.
through December 2008, The DMRs indicate that the facility was in compliance with permit
monitoring requirements and discharge limits during the review period.
OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
No problems with operations or maintenance of the facility were observed at the time of
inspection. The facility and grounds appeared to be properly operated and maintained. The
current overall operating strategy appears acceptable for the size and type of the facility.
SLUDGE HANDLING/DISPOSAL:
Sludge is removed from the digester and taken off site by pump and haul methods.
Sludge is removed by BioTech. Inc. and L & L Environmental Services, LIC. These companies
were not evaluated under this inspection.
SEWER OVERFLOW:
Please be advised that pursuant to Part II, Section E of your NPDES permit and North.
Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection system,
pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion
of the wastewater shall be reported to the appropriate regional office (Mooresville Regional
Office 704/663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the permittee
became aware of the by-pass. For spills/bypasses, which occur in Mecklenburg County, it is
requested that MCWQP be notified at 704/.336-5.500.. Spills occurring on weekends or holidays
can be reported by calling the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management at 91..9/733,-
3300, 800/662-.7956, or 800/858-0368. A written report shall also be provided within five (5)
days of the time of the incident. The report shall contain a description of the bypass, and its
cause; the period of the bypass, including exact dates and times, and if the bypass has not been
corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken (or planned) to reduce,
eliminate:, and prevent recurrence of the similar events. Any spill that reaches surface waters (i.e.
any spill that reaches any water already present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill
greater than 1,000 gallons on the ground that does not reach surface waters must be reported.

S VER OVERFLOW (cont.):
An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface vatrs should include an
evaluation downstream ofthe point at Which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a tis
kill occurred, The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen
and pldmeasurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and p1-1 measurements
at multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative impact failure to
report the bypass of collection system, pumping station or treatment facility subjects Viola ors to

GENERAL:
The Mecklenburg County Water Quality Program last inspected the facility on February
007. A Compliance Evaluation Inspection was issued on March 7, 2007.
PERMIT:
The 0.070 MGD facility consists of a package extended -aeration wastewater .treatment
plant with a bar screen, a secondary clarifier, a secondary aeration basin, a re -aeration basin, an
aerobic sludge digester,. a .mixed media pressure filter, a filter backwash holding tank, a chlorine
contact chamber, a dechlorination system, and a continuous flow recorder.
The current permit became effective on December 1, 2003, and expires on Novernber 30,
2008. The certification classification for NC0025259 requires that the facility have an Operator
in Responsible Charge (ORC) with a Grade 2 Biological Water Pollution Control. System (WW-
2) certification, The facility is staffed with personnel that possess the appropriate operator
certification.
RECORDS/REPORTS:
Facility personnel maintain clear, organized records and reports. Calibration logs, daily.
maintenance logs, and activity logs are readily available at the site. MCWQP reviewed Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) for the period January 2007 through December 2007. All DMRs
were legible and appeared to be properly completed..
FACILITY SITE REVIEW:
All of the major components of the facility appeared to be operating properly at the time
of the inspection. The ORC reported no problems with the facility in the last 12 months.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Flow measurement is accomplished using a float to measure the head over a V-notch weir
in conjunction with a totalizerlcontinuous recording flow meter in accordance with NPDES
permit requirements. The flow meter was last calibrated on December 5, 2007.
LABORATORY:
Carolina Water Service, Inc. of NC is certified by the Division of Water Quality to
perform field parameter laboratory analyses (NC Laboratory Certification #5528) and contracts
with Prism Laboratories, Inc. (NC Laboratory Certification 4402) and .K & W Laboratories (NC
Certification #559) to perform all other analyses specified in the permit. K & W Laboratories
and Prism. Laboratories, Inc. were not evaluated during this inspection. A review of
documentation and instrumentation associated with field parameter laboratory analyses was
completed during the inspection. No deficiencies were found.

EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:
The effluent is discharged to an unnamed tributary of McKee Creek, classified C waters
within the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. The effluent was clear with some trace foam at the time
of the inspection. The receiving water did not appear to be adversely affected by the effluent.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period January 2007
through December 2007 The DMRs indicate that the facility was in compliance with permit
monitoring requirements and discharge limits during the review period, except for the following:
A fecal coliform concentration of >600 CFU/I 00 mL was reported on March 1, 2007,
which exceeded the permitted daily maximum limit of 400 CFU/100 mL. This
violation was addressed under separate cover by the Division of Water Quality
through the issuance of a Notice of Violation (Tracking Number NOV-2007-LV-
0604).
• A fecal coliform concentration of 570 CFU/100 mL was reported on May 2, 2007,
Which exceeded the permitted daily maximum limit of 400 CTU/100 mL. This
violation was addressed under separate cover by the Division of Water Quality
through the issuance of a Notice of Violation (Tracking Number NOV-2008-LV-
0004).
An ammonia -nitrogen concentration of 3.0 mg/L was reported on June 30, 2007,
which exceeded the permitted monthly average limit of 2.0 This violation was
addressed under separate cover by the Division of Water Quality through the issuance
of a Notice of Violation and Civil penalty Assessment (Case Number IN-2008-0024
A fecal coliform concentration of 480 CFU/100 mL was reported on December 11,
2007..which exceeded the permitted daily maximum limit of 400 CFU/100 mL. This
violation was addressed under separate cover by the Division of Water Quality
through the issuance of a Notice of Violation (Tracking Number NOV-2008-LV-
0120).
OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
The facility, site, and office appeared adequately operated and maintained except for a
discharge of partially treated effluent inside the plant, coming from two backwash pumps. The
ORC indicated that the discharge was due to seal leaks. The leaks are downstream of the
chlorination step in the treatment process, but upstream of the dechlorination step. The water
from the leaks was found pooling inside the plant near two area drains, which were reported to
discharge outside the plant.
The hack wash pumps do not appear to be properly maintained as per Part II Section C
Operations and Maintenance of Pollution Controls in NC0025259 and immediate repairs should
be made. The area drains inside the plant should be sealed or redirected into the plant treatment

process to ensure that unpermitted discharges do not occur (WWTP chemicals, not fully treated
wastewater, etc.).
SLUDGE HANDLING/DISPOSAL:
Waste biosolids are hauled by Biotech from Columbia, SC. Liquid Waste, Inc. is the
backup hauler. These companies were not evaluated under this inspection.
SEWER OVERFLOW:
Please be advised that pursuant to Part II, Section E of your NPDES permit and North
Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) I.5A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection system,
pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without .treatment of all. or any portion
of the wastewater shall be reported to the appropriate regional office (Mooresville Regional
Office 704/663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the pennittee
became aware of the bypass. For spills/bypasses, which occur in Mecklenburg County, it is
requested that MCWOR be notified at 704/336-5500. Spills occurring on weekends or holidays
can be reported by calling the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management at 919/733-
3300, 800/662-7956, or 800/858-0368. A written report shall also be provided within five (5)
days of the time of the incident. The report shall contain a description of the bypass, and its
cause; the period of .the bypass, including exact dates and times, and if the bypass has not been.
corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken (or planned) to reduce,
eliminate, and prevent recurrence of the similar events. Any spill that reaches surface waters
any spill that reaches any water already present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill
greater than 1,000 gallons on the ground that does not reach surface waters must be reported.
An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface waters should include an.
evaluation downstream of the point at .Which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a fish
kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen
and pH measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH measurements
at multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative impact. Failure to
report the bypass of collection system, pumping station or treatment facility subjects violators to
penalties of up to $25,000.00 per day per violation.

Dear Mr. Krebs,
We are in receipt of your letter dated March 5, 2008 and respond as follows:
Operations & Maintenance
MO•
We are investigating replacing the packing in the filter backwash purnps with a mechanical seal to eliminate all
discharge completely. If this is not possible we will replace in the pump and adjust it as necessary to
reduce the discharge to a minimum. Some discharge is normal as the liquid lubricates the shaft. We will then raise
the pumps to get the proper fall and route the drip discharge back to the wastewater plant. We would state that this
seal packing drippage is a minimal amount.
Sealing or redirecting the drain inside the plant area would not work and could possibly cause violations of the
NPDES permit. This facility is unusual in that the wastewater plant is housed inside a block building with four walls,
a concrete floor and no roof. If the drain was sealed the rain water would have no place to go and could possibly
flood the plant. If the drain went to a sump for example and was redirected into the plant then we would cause
unnecessary inflow or even a possible washout of solids. If a spill were to occur at any plant it would go on the
ground unless it had secondary ' This facility is only different in that the drain is point discharge. We do
not see a way to address your direction in this regard and would respectfully ask we discuss this further if you could
help us with practical solutions.
Please do not hesitate to contact me at 704-525-7990 ext, 218 or by email at TJKonsui atr cpm if I can be of

OR
2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed just catiou for
such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five
factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the
penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting
whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements
contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a
stipulation that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted,
and submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors
shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty willprevent payment for the
remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your
remission request. The response will provide details regarding case status,
directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty
Remissions (Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider
information that was not part of the original remission request considered by the
Director. Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough
statement in support of your request for remission.

In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed
"Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality
also requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for

maintenance logs, and activity logs are readily available at the site. MCWQP reviewed Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) for the period January 2006 through December 2006. All DMRs
were legible and appeared to be properly completed.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW:
All of the major components of the facility appeared to be operating properly at the time
of the inspection. The ORC reported no problems with the facility in the last 12 months.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Flow measurement is accomplished using a float to measure the head over a V-notch weir
in conjunction with a totalizer/continuous recording flow meter in accordance with NPDES

and Prism Laboratories, Inc. were not evaluated during this inspection. A review of
documentation and instrumentation associated with field parameter laboratory analyses was
completed during the inspection. No deficiencies were found.
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:
The effluent is discharged to an unnamed tributary of McKee Creek, classified C waters
within the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. The effluent was clear with some trace foam at the time
of the inspection. The receiving water did not appear to be adversely affected by the effluent.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period January 2006
through December 2006. One (1) exceedance of the daily fecal coliform limit was noted on
December 19th, 2006. This violation will be addressed under separate cover by the Division of
Water Quality, The DMRs indicate that all parameters are being monitored at the required
frequency and locations.

Facility personnel maintain clear, organized records and reports. Calibration logs
maintenance log, and activity logs are readily available at the site.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW:
All of the major components of the facility appeared
of the inspection.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
p
Flow measurement is accomplished using a float to measure the head over a V-notch welt
and a totalizer/continuous recording flow meter in accordance with NPDES permit requirements.
The flow meter was last calibrated on December 3, 2004.
LABORATORY:
K & W Laboratories (NC Certification No.559) and Prism Laboratories (NC Certification
No. 402) are under contract to provide analytical services. K & W Laboratories and Prism
Laboratories were not evaluated during this inspection.

EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:
The effluent was clear at the time oftlae inspection. The effluent did not adversely affect
the receiving waters. The e i uent is discharged to an unnamed tributary of McKee Creek,
classified C waters within the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period May 2004 through
February 2005. The facility was in compliance with permit limits and requirements during the
review period. The reports indicate that all parameters are being monitored at the required
frequency and locations.
OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
The facility, site, and office appeared adequately operated and maintained.
SLUDGE HANDLING/DISPOSAL:
Waste biosolids are hauled by Biotech from Columbia, SC. Liquid Waste, Inc. is the
backup hauler. These companies were not evaluated under this inspection.
SEWER OVERFLOW:
Please be advised that pursuant to Part II, Section E of your NPDES permit and North
Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection system,
pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion.
of the wastewater shall be reported to the appropriate regional office (Mooresville Regional
Office 704/663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the permittee
became aware of the bypass. For spills/bypasses, whic:a occur in Mecklenburg County, it is
requested that MCWQP be notified at 704/336-5500. Spills occurring on weekends or holidays
can be reported by calling the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management at 919/733-
3300, 800/662-7956, or 800/858-0368. A written report shall also be provided within five (5)
days of the time of the incident. The report shall contain a description of the bypass, and its
cause; the period of the bypass, including exact dates and times, and if the bypass has not been
corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken (or planned) to reduce,
eliminate, and prevent recurrence of the similar events. Any spill that reaches surface waters (i.e.
any spill that reaches any water already present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill
greater than 1,000 gallons on the ground that does not reach surface waters must be reported.
An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface waters should include an
evaluation downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a fish
kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen
and pH measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH measurements at
multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative impact. Failure to report
the bypass of collection system, pumping station or treatment facility subjects violators to
penalties of up to $25,000.00 per day per violation.

SUBJECT: Total Residual Chlorine Policy for NPDES permits
Every three years the State is required by the Clean Water Act to review its surface water quality standards and
classifications, determine if changes arc needed and to make any necessary changes. This review process is referred to
as the "triennial review." Public hearings were held to solicit comments for the 2000-2003 Triennial Review of surface
water quality standards during the summer of 2002. The Hearing Officer's recommendations were presented before
the state's Environmental Management Commission on October 10, 2002.
The Hearing Officer's recommended changes included modifications to the existing standards for Arsenic, Cyanide,
Methylene Blue Active Substances (MBAS) and Total Residual Chlorine (TRC), The Hearing Officer also
recommended the addition of a standard for Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MT13E).
All of the Hearing Officer's proposed changes were adopted with the exception of MTBE. The changes took effect
on April 1, 2003. This memo documents the changes to the NPDES permitting policy for TRC limits.
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC)
Previously, TRC had an Action Level Standard, except in designated Trout waters. The Triennial Review changes
rnodified the TRC Action Level Standard to an Aquatic Life Standard of 17 ug/L. The Aquatic Life Standard will
remain for designated Trout waters.
Aquatic Life Standard — 17 ug/L (freshwater only) Trout Waters — 17 p.g/L
Revised TRC Policy
> TRC limits will be assigned to permit renewals and all new permits issued after April 1, 2003.
• Facilities that do not use chlorine will not receive a TRC limit; however, the presence of a chlorine back-up
system to augment UV or other disinfection requires a TRC
> facilities discharging to streams with a 7Q10 <0.05 cfs (zero -flow streams) will receive a limit of 17 pig/L
• Limits will be capped at 28 WI- to protect against acute impacts.
It is likely that many facilities will need to add dechlorination (or use another means of disinfection) to comply with
the new TRC standard. Therefore, a compliance schedule of 18 months from the effective date of the permit may
be added to any TRC limit added during the current permit renewal. This time period is allowed in order for the
facility to budget and design/construct the dechlorination and/or alternative disinfection system(s). The NPDES
Unit has promulgated minimum design criteria in order to expedite permitting of dechlorination equipment.

GENERAL:
The facility was
pected by MCWQP staff on April 30, 2002. A Compliance
Evaluation Inspection was issued on June 4, 2002.
PERMIT:
The 0.070 MGD facility consists of a package extended aeration wastewater treatment
plant with bar screen, primary clarifier, primary aeration basin., re -aeration basin, aerobic sludge
digester, mixed media pressure filter, filter backwash holding tank, chlorine contact cam, and
continuous flow recorder.
The current permit became effective on June 1, 2000, and expires on NowmI r 30, 2003.
The pern ittee shall submit a permit renewal request no later than 180 days prior to the aspiration
date. The Operator -in -Responsible Charge (ORC) is Mr. Steve Childers wbo maintains a North.
Carolina Operators Certification Grade II, certification #21265, which is acceptable for the class
of the facility.
RECORDS/REPORTS:
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's) were reviewed for the period March 2002
through February 2003. These reports appeared to be properly completed. The ORC also
maintains adequate records and logs on site.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW:
The facility site review was conducted by Derrick A. Harris (MCWQP) accompanied by
Trent Rainey and Ron Phelps (EPA). Upon our arrival, Mr. Steve Chflders, ORC, indicated that
the plant had experienced a power failure at approximately 11:00 am on April 14, 2003.
Mr. Childers estimated that 200 gallons of partially treated wastewater was discharged to the
receiving stream. The plant influent was being discharged to two (2) holding tanks and being
recirculated back to the head of the plant for treatment. The recirculation of the influent
continued until all the wastewater that was collected in the holding tanks had been treated.
Technically, because of the release of an estimated 200 gallons of partially treated
wastewater, Carolina Water Service is in violation of Part. II, Section C.7 of the Permit* Pam.
to this Permit Condition, the perrnittee is responsible for maintaining adequate eras to
prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power lures
either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately
treated effluent.
There was no discharge to the receiving stream at the time of our inspection€..
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Flow measurement is accomplished using a float to measure the head over a V-notch weir
and a totalizer/continuous recording flow meter in accordance with IDES permit requfr
The flow meter was last calibrated on December 2, 2002..

ABORATORY:
Prism Laboratories is under contract to provide analytical services. Prism was not
evaluated during this inspection
EFFLUENT/REC'EIVING WATERS:
The facility discharges to an unnamed tributary of McKee Creek, which is a Class C
water in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. There was no discharge at the time of our visit; the
influent was being recirculated to the head of the plant from holding tanks. Review of
approximately a 300 foot stretch of the receiving stream did not reveal any solids, inadequately
treated wastewater or obvious detrimental impacts.
The perrnit indicates that upstream samples should be grabbed 100 feet above the
discharge point; however, the effluent discharge location is located at the head of the receiving
stream.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period March 2002 through.
February 2003. The facility was in compliance with permit limits and requirements during the
review period, except for the following:
One (1) Fecal Coliforrn exceedance in violation of the daily maximum permit
effluent limit was noted. This occurred on September 10, 2002.. A civil penalty
was assessed for this violation.
The reports indicate that all parameters are being monitored at the required frequency and.
locations.
OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
The facility, site, and office appeared adegixate y operated and maintained.
SLUDGE HANDLING/DISPOSAL:
Waste biosolids are hauled by Liquid Waste, Inc., or Biotech from. Columbia, SC. These
companies were not evaluated under this inspection.
SEWER OVERFLOW:
Please be advised that pursuant to Part II, Section E of your NPDES permit and North
Carolina Adrninis'rative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection system,
pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion.
of the wastewater shall be reported to the appropriate regional office (Mooresville Regional
Office 704/663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the permittee
became aware of the bypass. For spit s/bypasses which occur in Mecklenhurg County, it is
requested that. MCWQP be notified at 704/336-5500. Spills occurring on weekends or holidays

SEWER OVERFLOW continued:
can be reported by calling the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management at 919/733-
3300, 800/662-7956, or 800/858-0368. A written report shall also be provided within five (5)
days of the time of the incident. The report shall contain a description of the bypass, and its
cause; the period of the bypass, including exact dates and times, and if the bypass has not been
corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken (or planned) to reduce,.
eliminate, and prevent recurrence of the similar events. Any spill that reaches surface waters (i.e.
any spill that reaches any water already present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill
greater than 1,000 gallons on the ground that does not reach surface waters must be reported.
An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface waters should include an
evaluation downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a fish
kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen and
pH measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH measurements at
multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative impact. Failure to report
the bypass of collection system, pumping station or treatment facility subjects violators to
penalties of up to $25,000.00 per day per violation

MEMORANDUM
TO: Rex Gleason
FROM: Richard Bridge
SUB.IECT: Request for Remission of Civil Penalty
Case No. LV 02-162
Carolina Water Service Inc. of NC - Lam.plighter Village East
NPDES Permit No. NC0025259
Mecklenburg County
Carolina Water Service Inc. of NC was assessed a civil penalty of $1085.45, including
$85.45 in enforcement costs, on 5/17/02. The case covers an NH3-N monthly average violation
occurring in 12/01.
The remission request is based on the fact that CWS completed modifying the WWTP
from contact stabilization to extended aeration during 3/02, and that penalties are unwarranted
because of these remedial construction activities.
The facility was in compliance during 1/02, but had a TSR daily maximum violation
during 2/02 (there should be an assessment). For 3/02, 4/02, and 5/02, all. NH3-N values have
been <0.1 mg/L.
CWS had for some time been aware that the contact stabilization facility was not
providing adequate treatment, and had wanted to modify the facility to extended aeration, The
need to modify the facility was mostly based on impending more restrictive summer/winter M.:13-
N limits and the violation of other permit effluent limits.. CWS first contacted the Division.
concerning this conversion in 9/99 via an EAA. Mark McIntire discusses the EAA and the
facility modification in a letter dated 2/4/00, and suggests that a schedule of compliance would
be added in the permit which would give time to complete the modifications before the new
NH3-N limit would become effective. In the permit, CWS was given until 4/01 to meet the new
NH3-N limits. A formal submittal (request for ATC) was made during 3/01. A copy of the
request was received in MR0 on 4/30/01. A staff report and recommendations was forwarded to
Raleigh on 6/12/01. An ATC was finally issued on 7/26/01.
It is the writer's opinion that the Division should have issued approval for the conversion,
with the submittal of "as built" plans allowed. Within the framework of the remission factors,
the permittee failed to provide justification for remission; however, the Division's inaction may
have contributed to continued noncompliance.

Case No. LV 02-162
Dear Ms. Sullins,

sEcTioN
We are in receipt of the above referenced Notice of Violation and wish to request remission,
This NOV is for violation of Ammonia -Nitrogen for the month of December 2001. Until only
recently, this facility was not designed to meet the new lower NH3 limit as imposed in our
permit. We have been making modifications to the facility to convert from contact stabilization
mode to extended aeration mode to allow for NH3 reduction. This modification was approved
under ATC No. 025259ACA dated July 26, 2001 (copy enclosed). The construction was finally
completed and the plant modifications officially put into service on March 6, 2002.
Carolina Water Service has spent close to $90,000 in making the modifications necessary to
achieve the lower NH3 limit imposed in the permit. The facility is operating very well and the
conversion has allowed substantial increase in effluent quality. 1 am enclosing a copy of our
DMRs for the months of March, April, and May after the modifications were made to show
excellent overall compliance. In fact, Ammonia -Nitrogen has been below detectable limits all
three months. The facility was inspected on April 30, 2002 by Mr. Will. Autry of MCWQP for
your Division. Mr. Autry commented under the Q ati ns and ai fen_ an e section that "The
facility, site, and office appeared very well operated and maintained".
1 am enclosing a copy of the Engineer's Certifications for the project which we just received and
of which will be forwarded to the NPDES Unit under separate cover.

Page
Ms. Dic Sullins
June 20, 2002
We find the NOV and civil penalty to be unnecessary and unwarranted in light of our efforts and
substantial investment to meet the limits of our pe it. From the issuarice of the ATC to actual
project completion was only approximately seven months which we feel to be very good
considering in the site limitations and difficulties encountered with this project. We respectfully
ask for the NOV and penalty to be rescinded.
If you need any additional informtion, or have any questions, please do not hesitate td contact
at 7 -5 5- d(Ext. 1 a . Thank you in advance for your considerati ara,

SUBJECT: Request for Remission of Civil Penalty
Case No. LV 01-154
Carolina Water Service Inc. of NC - Lamplighter Village Ea
NPDES Permit No. NC0025259
Mecklenburg County
Carolina Water Service Inc. of NC was assessed a civil penalty of $835.45, including
$85.45 in enforcement costs, on 5/4/01. The case covers a BOD5 monthly ayre violation (not
assessed) and 4 BOD5 daily maximum violations (3 assessed), occurring in o other
violations occurred during 1/01.
The remission request is based on the fact that CWS has for some time been aware that
the contact stabilization facility was not providing adequate treatment, and has wanted to modify
the facility to extended aeration. The need to modify the facility was mostly based on impending
more restrictive summer/winter NH3-N limits and the violation of other permit effluent limits.
CWS first contacted the Division concerning this conversion in 9/99 via an EAA. Mark McIntire
discusses the EAA and the facility rifOdification in a letter dated 2/4/00, and suggests that a
schedule of compliance would be added in the permit which would give time to complete the
modifications before the new NI-13-N limit would become effective. In the permit, CWS was
given until 4/01 to meet the new NH3-N limits. A formal submittal (request for ATC) was made
during 3/01. A copy of the request was received in MRO on 4/30/01. A staff report and
recommendations was forwarded to Raleigh on 6/12/01.
It is suggested in an attachment on the 1/01 DMR that the above BOD5 violations were
the result of the contract laboratory using a dechlorination agent during the preparation of the
highly chlorinated BOD5 samples. The assertion that the contract laboratory, in "neutralizing"
the high TRC in the BOD5 samples, used enough dechlorination agent to have caused the BOD5
violations, borders on the ridiculous; the three daily maximum limit violations were >142%,
118%, >149%, and 167% greater than the relevant limit (45.0 mg/L). The monthly average limit
was 119% greater than the relevant limit (30.0 mg/L).
There was one previous enforcement action during 1994, and one subsequent case (LV
01-239) for violations occurring during 3/01 ($335.45 paid 7/12/01). The facility was in
compliance with permit limits and monitoring requirements during 2/01, but violated limits
during 3/01 (BOD5&TSR), 4/01(BOD5& NH3-N), and 5/01 (NH1-N).
It is quite possible that the conversion to an "extended aeration" mode will result in
compliance. It is the writer's opinion that the Division should have issued approval for the
conversion, with the submittal of "as built" plans allowed. Within the framework of the
remission factors, the perrnittee failed to provide justification for remission; however, the
Division's inaction may have contributed to continued noncompliance.

January 2001 DMR Non -Compliance Explanation
Attachment to av`P
To Whom It May Concern:
This is to serve as the explanation for the non-compliance parameters of the above
referenced facility Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR).
The BOD analysis for 1/2/01, 1/9/01, 1/16/01 and the monthly average exceeded
permit limits. As you will see from the DMR, a high BOD value was accompanied by a low
TSS and low fecal coliform which is very unusual and somewhat contradictory. We
began to determine the cause of these high BOD results by working closely with our
laboratory, Prism Labs of 'Marione, It was suspected that somewhat high Total Residual
Chlorine (TRC) miaht be a factor. Standard methods and approved state lab procedures
protocol require the lab to add a dechlorination agent to the sample if needed because
of suspected high chlorine level, This should not cause a problem but since the
dechiorination agent is a reducing agent, the addition of the agent could theoretically
cause the dissolved oxygen levels to deplete and give an erroneously high BOD analysis,
We began trying to lower the TRC levels and achieved compliancy in the last portion of
the month,
In addition, we, decor running COD analysis (not reouired by the permit) for additional
data, The COD analysis of 1,26/01, 1/30/01, and 1131/01 show low COD resuRs,
We feel the supposition that the nigh BOD results were somehow caused' by chlorination
andlor cechiorination at the late is supported by Inc evidence and hioni,),, probable.

$85.45 in enforcement costs, on 8/17/01. The case covers a BOD5 monthly average violation, an
NH3-N monthly average violation, and 3 BOD, daily maximum violations (none assessed),
occurring in 4/01. No other violations occurred during 4/01.
The remission request is based on the fact that CWS is currently modifying the WWTP
from contact stabilization to extended aeration, and that penalties are unwarranted because of
these remedial construction activities.
CWS has for some time been aware that the contact stabilization facility was not
providing adequate treatment, and has wanted to modify the facility to extended aeration. The
need to modify the facility was mostly based on impending more restrictive summer/winter NH3-
N limits and the violation of other permit effluent limits. CWS first contacted the Division
concerning this conversion in 9/99 via an EAA. Mark McIntire discusses the EAA and the
facility modification in a letter dated 2/4/00, and suggests that a schedule of compliance would
be added in the permit which would give time to complete the tn.odifications before the new
NH3-N limit would become effective. In the permit, CWS was given until 4/01 to meet the new
NH3-N limits. A formal submittal (request for ATC) was made during 3/01. A copy of the
request was received in MRO on 4/30/01. A staff report and recommendations was 'forwarded to
Raleigh on 6/12/01. An ATC was issued on 7/26/01.
It is suggested in an attachment on the 4/01 DMR that the above BOD5 violations were
the result of the contract laboratory complications. The weekly samples were split between two
labs; the two labs' results differed.
There was an enforcement action during 1994 and one case (LV 01-239) for violations
occurring during 3/01 ($335.45 paid 7/12/01). The facility violated limits during 5/01 (NH3-N/
not on Manager's Report), 6/01 (NH3-N), and 7/01 (NH3-N and Fecal Coliform).
It is quite possible that the conversion to an "extended aeration" mode will result in
compliance. It is the writer's opinion that the Division should have issued approval for the
conversion, with the submittal of "as built" plans allowed. Within the framework of the
remission factors, the permittee failed to provide justification for remission; however, the
Division's inaction may have contributed to continued noncompliance.

This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$2085.45 ($2000.00 civil penalty + $85.45 enforcement costs) against Carolina Water Service Inc.
of NC.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the
discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by Carolina. Water Service Inc. of NC for the month
of April 2001 for the Lamplighter Village East WWTP. This review has shown the subject facility
to be in violation of the discharge limitations found in NPDES Permit No. NC0025259. The
violations are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that Carolina Water Service Inc.

Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in Attachment A.
A civil penalty may be assessed in accordance with the maximums established by G.S. 143-
- 215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with
authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and
the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, D. Rex Gleason, Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Mooresville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against

$2 000, TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
85.45 Enforcement costs.
TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the fo o ing:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver fortn). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for
contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment letter.
Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative hearing,
such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative
hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in dispute. You
must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and stipulation form and
a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violations;
(c) the violations were inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violation;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Ms. Coleen Sullins
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617

Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review the information during a bimonthly enforcement conference and inform
you of his decision in the matter of the remission request. His response will
provide details regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for
further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's
Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee
cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request
considered by the Director and therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
OR
3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an
administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to
the Office of Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 15013 of the
North Carolina General Statutes. You must:
File your original petition with the
Office of Administrative Hearings

Re: Lamplighter Village East WVJTP
NPDES permit NC0025259
April 2001 DMR.
Date: 5/14/01
There were several parameters of non-compliance during this reporting period. We have
had erratic and unexplainable analysis results for BOD during the past several months. We
believe this to be at least in major part due to laboratory complications. To test this
hypothesis, we split the samples on 4/3, 4/18, 4/24 and 4/30 and took portions of the same
homogenous sample to two separate laboratories with widely ranging and different analysis
results as can be seen from review of the DMR.
In regards to Nitrogen Ammonia, it is not possible to meet. the NPDES limit that became
effective this month (April, 2001) with existing contact sta.bilization treatment. Plant
modification plans have been submitted to DWQ-Raleigh to convert the plant to extended
aeration to meet. the Nitrogen Amrn.onia limits. However, we have not received approval or
a reply to our request for temporary exemption from this limit until the modification can be
completed.
We fully understand our obligations in compliance and take these responsibilities seriously
and are working diligently to explore every cause for problems and to immediately correct
these deficiencies.
Should you have any questions, I can be reached at 704-525-7990 (Ext. 216)

NOV AND Recommendation for Enforcement
Dear Mr, Bridgeman,
We are in receipt of the letter dated 4/30/01 concerning the above referenced facility.
This is also from review of the facility done 4/12/01 by Mr. Will Autry of the
Mecklenburg County Department of Environmental Protection.
Our response is as follows:
Facility Site Review
The telemetry system did not function because of a phone programming problem. As
you know, local calls recently went to 10-digit numbers. We are not aware of any
regulation that requires a telemetry system at this particular wastewater plant and
should not be cited for non -required, voluntary equipment. Therefore, the auto -dialer
has been removed to avoid future issues.
Self -Monitoring
"Permit Limits Items 1 -4"
We have thoroughly evaluated the process and operations and are perplexed by the
violations. We believe in part, that there are handling and laboratory analysis issues. We
have begun splitting samples with two different labs to compare results (see enclosed).
However, due to inherent inadequacies of the type of treatment at this facility, (contact
stabilization) compliance with the NPDES permit is difficult or impossible. We have
already submitted modification plans to convert the plant to extended aeration mode
which we believe will give superior treatment and compliance. However, we have yet to
receive a response from your Division and do hereby request to be considered for a
Special Order by Consent to allow us time to finish modifications.
. `.

May 24, 2001
Mr. Bridgeman
Page Two
"Monitoring. Frequency .. Items 1-8"
The problems with items 1-8 were exclusively the problem of the operator and ORC at
that time, Mr. Steven L. Turner, Our staff work almost exclusively unsupervised and
independently. We found that Mr. Turner was not checking his facilities as required and
his employment was terminated on May 15, 2000. While we as the Permittee
understand our obligations, we did not know of these problems until after the fact and
immediately remedied this problem.
"Monitoring Frequency Items 9 & 1 0"
The total Nitrogen and Total Phosphorus was indeed sampled for the third quarter of
2000. The samples were collected on July 11, 2000 but were not reported on the
monthly DMR. We apologize for the omission. A copy of the laboratory analysis is
enclosed. A copy of the revised DMR for July 2000 is also enclosed to include this data.
The original revision has been sent to Central Files in Raleigh.
"Monitoring Frequency Items 1 1 -1 4"
A sample set from this facility was collected on February 6, 2001 which makes the
monitoring frequency compliant. Unfortunately, the DMR incorrectly displayed this data
on February 2, 2001. We apologize for the error. A copy of the 2/6/01 analysis is
enclosed as well as a copy of the revised DMR for February 2001. The original revision

Dear Mr. Thorpe,
Construction of the facility has been completed. Please find the enclosed Engineer's Certifications and a
copy of the As -Built plans for your use. Minor modifications were necessary during construction and are
reflected in the As-Builts. The revisions have in no way affected the intent or scope of the project. The
external digester foundation design was altered, hence the additional certification from Mr. Barry
Lambert, P.E. This revision was communicated to Mr. Michael Templeton prior to construction and of
which we received comments and direction from Mr. Templeton in a September 12, 2001 letter (copy
enclosed).
Due to effluent quality compliance issues with our NPDES permit, the modifications have already been
placed into service. After construction completion, the facility was inspected on April 30, 2002 by Mr.
Will Autry with the Mecklenburg County Water Quality Program under cooperative agreement with your
Division. Mr. Autry found the facility "...very well operated and maintained".
If you should need any additional information or have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
704-525-7990 (Ext. 216). Thank you in advance for your attention.

construction was completed in substantial conformance with the Authorization to Construct and
with the approved plans and specifications.
Modifications were made to the plans during construction (see attached information). The digester base
was re -designed by others. The waste activated sludge (WAS) piping was re -configured to waste directly
from the RAS airlift. The efficiency of WAS will be reduced but the modification will function adequately

Dear Mr. Lashua:
Thank you for the letter and design drawings you faxed to this office yesterday. I have reviewed your
request to modify the sludge tank design and to proceed under the Authorization to Construct issued for
this project on July 26t.
It appears from the information you provided that the modified sludge tank is substantially the same in
size and function as the tank already approved. The proposed changes are within the range of discretion
the Division normally allows perrnittees and their contractors under an ATC. Therefore, it is not
necessary for Carolina Water Service to submit modified drawings for formal review and approval before
proceeding. Instead, the changes should be noted in the project's Engineering Certification, and CWS
should provide as -built drawings at that time.
Feel free to call me at [phone], extension 541, if you have any additional questions.
Sincerely,
Michael E. Templeton

GENERAL:
The facility was last inspected by MCDEP staff OD April 12, 2001. A Compliance
Evaluation Inspection Report / Notice of Violation with a Recommendation for Enforcement was
issued on April. 30, 2001,
PERMIT:
The 0,070 MGD facility consists of a package extended aeration wastewater treatment
plant with bar screen, primary clarifier, primary aeration basin, re -aeration basin, aerobic sludge
digester, mixed media pressure filter, filter backwash holding tank, chlorine contact chamber,
and continuous flow recorder. The facility was recently upgraded to extended aeration from
contact stabilization in order to meet Ammonia Nitrogen limits.
The current permit became effective on June 1, 2000, and expires on November 30, 2003.
A permit modification to delay implementation of more restrictive Ammonia Nitrogen limits was
issued on August 21, 2001.
The Operator -in. -Responsible Charge (ORC) maintains a North Carolina Operators.
Certification Grade II, which is acceptable for the class of the facility.
RECORDS/REPORTS:
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR's) were reviewed for the period March 2001
through February 2002. These reports appear to be properly completed. The ORC also
maintains adequate records and logs on site.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW:
All of the existing components of the facility were in service and appeared to be operating
properly at the time of the inspection.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Flow measurement is accomplished using a float to measure the head over a V-notch weir
and a totalizer/continuous recording flow meter in accordance with NPDES permit requirements.
The flow meter was last calibrated on April 25, 2002.
LABORATORY:
Prism Laboratories is under contract to provide analytical services. Prism was not
evaluated during this inspection.
EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:
The facility discharges to. an unnamed tributary of McKee Creek, which is a Class C
water in the Yadkin -Pee Dee River Basin. The effluent was clear and did not appear to have a.

SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period March 2001 through
February 2002. The facility was in compliance with permit limits and requirements during the,
review period, except for the .following:
One (1) Fecal Coliform exceedance in violation of the daily maximum pe
effluent limit was noted. This occurred on July 10, 2001.
Five (5) Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5) exceedances in violation of the
daily maximum permit effluent limit were noted, These occurred on March 1,
March 8, April 18, April 24, and April 30, 2001, and were included in
enforcement cases LV 01-239 and LV 01-285.
3. One (1.) Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD5) exceedance in violation of the
monthly average permit effluent limit was noted. This occurred in April 2001,
and was included in enforcement case LV 01-285.
4. Two (2) Ammonia Nitrogen (NH3-N) exceedances in violation of the monthly
average permit effluent limit were noted. These occurred in April and December
2001, and were included in enforcement cases LV 01.-285 and LV 02-162.
5. One (1) Total Suspended Solids (TSS) exceedance in violation ofthe daily
maximum permit effluent :limit was noted. This occurred on March 8, 2001, and
was included in enforcement case 1..,V 01-239.
The reports indicate that all pararneters are being monitored at the required frequency and
locations, except for the following:
Effluent Temperature was not recorded for November 23, 2001, in violation of the
permit daily monitoring frequency requirement. This constitutes one (1) failure to
monitor Effluent Temperature. If the data is available, please submit an amended
DMR.
Under Facility Status on the reverse of the DMR for November 2001 the Compliant box
is checked, even though there was one (1) failure to monitor violation during the month. The
failure to properly identify noncompliance on the DMR, foiiu constitutes a violation,
OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
The facility, site, and office appeared very well operated and maintained.
SLUDGE HANDLING/DISPOSAL:
Waste biosolids are hauled by Liquid Waste, Inc., or Biotech from Columbia, SC. These

SEWER OVERFLOW:
Please be advised that pursuant to Part II, Section E of your NPDES permit and North
Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection system,
pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion
of the wastewater shall be reported to the appropriate regional office (Mooresville Regional
Office 704/663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the perrnittee
became aware of the bypass. For spills/bypasses which occur in Mecklenburg County, it is
requested that MCDEP be notified at 704/336-5500. Spills occurring on weekends or holidays
can be reported by calling the North Carolina Division of Emergency Management at 919/733-
3300, 800/662-7956, or 800/858-0368. A written report shall also be provided within five (5)
days ofthe time of the incident. The report shall contain a description of the bypass, and its
cause; the period of the bypass, including exact dates and times, and if the bypass has not been
corrected, the anticipated time it is expected to continue; and steps taken (or planned) to reduce,
eliminate, and prevent recurrence of the similar events. Any spill. that reaches surface waters (i.e.
any spill that reaches any water already present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill
greater than 1,000 gallons on the ground that does not reach surface waters must be reported.
An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface waters should include an
evaluation downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a fish
kill occurred, The evaluation. should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen
and pH measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH measurements
at multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative impact. Failure to
report the bypass of collection system, pumping station or treatment facility subjects violators to
penalties of up to $25,000.00 per day per violation.

Dear Mr, Goodrich:
Please find enclosed the following:

(3) Sets of plans and specifications including a detailed flow schematic
(3) Copies of calculations
(1) Letter from our engineer
(1) Copy of our NPDES Fermit
We are requesting an ATC for the above referenced facility to be able to meet more
stringent permit limits for Nitrogen -Ammonia (NH3-N). Our proposal is to convert the
existing contact stabilization plant to an extended aeration plant. This will be
accomplished by converting the existing digester to an aeration tank and adding a new
separate digester. We feel all of the modifications can be done without interruption of
flow or treatment and therefore, no construction sequence plan is enclosed.
With this submittal we must respectfully ask for an extension to delay implementation of
the new NPDES limits due to go into affect April 1, 2001. We have encountered
numerous delays in preparing plans, including site limitations and other commitments by
our project engineer. It will not be possible to meet the new Nitrogen Ammonia limits
without facility modification and we ask for a permit ,implementation extension _until
January 1, 2002, This should give your department time to approve the plans and for
construction to be completed. We sincerely apologize for the submittal so close to limit
reduction implementation and hope you can accommodate our request.

Dear Mr. Goodrich;
Subject Plant Upgrade
Attached are plans for the upgrading of the Lamplighter East Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWFP)„ The
facility is owned and operated by Carolina Water Service of North Carolina. Inc, This upgrade will enable
the plant to attain the level of treatment required under the new permit, which becomes effective April 1,
2001. Particular attention has been directed toward achieving nitrification of the influent ammonia.
Plants of the genre were produced by Walker Process in the early 1960s and known as bio-sorption, or
contact stabilization. The process has advantages and disadvantages like all processes, but a particular
disadvantage is the short period of time allowed for contact between the processed liquid and the mixed
liquor, causing insufficient exposure of ammonia (soluble) to the active biomass.
This condition is corrected by extending the exposure to the full capacity of the reactor. By doing so, an
environment is created conducive to the oxidation of ammonia -to nitrites and then to nitrate- The
important tactor is to maintain sufficient solids retention time to allow an effective population of
nitrosornonasinitrobacter to thrive, This requires an SRT in excess of five days, The process is alpable of
sustaining up to approximately 28 days and may he operated at any selected point within those limits.
his design was developed based on solids production retention (SRT or solids retention time) using
parameters common to domestic ,,vastewater. By doing :so, it is possible to size the system with an aeration
tank of sufficient2•._e for adequate solids inventory%
Inhibiting construction of the needed improvements is the fragile condition of the plant structure which is
composed of metal, in particular carbon steel. Many parts of a plant such as piping and mechanical
equipment can be replaced without difficulty, The exceptions are those that affect the integrity of the
main structure. To account for this limitation, structural modifications to the existing tank are held to a
minimum. This is retlected in the means to implement the required modifications.
Workload, the nature of this project and my own slowness have caused delay in the preparation of plans.
If early approval and issue of Authority to Construct can be effected, then a main principal of the design
can be realized, i.e. that no major shut -down of the process will be required and operation essentially
continuous. I ask for your assistance in this part of the process. The main process um be modified within
a few weeks and the process change effected. The slower process of excavation and installation of the
digester and new wail can be extended without impact. It is only necessary to have the digester in place
and operating within 30 days, If any delay is experience with digester installation, then waste sludge can
easily be pumped.
