month period. The monthly average for fecal coliform bacteria is
the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -month period.
b. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during a
one -week period. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria
is the ge©metric mean of samples collected in a one -week period.
c. Flow, MO/day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the
24 hour average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the
arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar
month.
d. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the
summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual
values.
M5

Part l
Permit No. NC
e. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the
Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal
to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equiva-
lent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of
the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric
mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1).
f. Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is any of the following:
(1) Not less than four influent or effluent portions collected
at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours and composited
in proportion to flow.
(2) Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions
collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional
to the flow.
(3) An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over
a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow.
Grab Sample: A "grab sample" is a single influent or effluent
portion which is not a composite sample. The sample(s) shall be
collected at the period(s) most representative of the total discharge.

PART III
Permit No. NC
PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS
A. Requirement, for Effluent Limit ions on Pollutants Att
Industrial Users
1. Effluent limitatio n from this discharger are listed. in Part I of this permit.
It is apparent that other pollutants attributable to inputs from major
contributing industries using the municipal system may also be present in the
permittee°s discharge. At such time as sufficient information becomes
available to establish .limitations for such pollutants, this permit may be
revised to specify effluent limitations for any or all of such. other pollutants
in accordance with best practicable technology or water quality standards.
2 Under no circumstances shall the permittee allow introduction of the ,following
wastes into the waste treatment system:
a. Wastes which create a. fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works
b. Wastes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment works.
c. Solid or viscous substances i_n amounts which cause obstructions to the
flow in sewers or interference with the proper operation of the treatment
works.
Wastewaters at a flow rate and/or. pollutant discharge rate which is
excessive over relatively short time periods so as to cause a loss of
treatment efficiency.
Heat in amounts which will inhibit biological activity in the treatment
works resulting in interference but in. no case heat in such quanntiti s
that the temperature at the treatment works influent exceeds 40 C. (104 F')
unless the works are designed to accomodate such heat. (After August 25, 1981)
With regard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of this permit,
it may be necessary for the permittee to supplement the requirements of the
Federal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR, Part 403) to ensure compliance by
the permittee with all applicable effluent limitations. Such actions J. y
the permittee may be necessary regarding some or all of the major contri-
buting industries discharging to the municipal system.
The permittee shall require each major contributing industry
pre-treatment standards or any other applicable requirements promulgated
pursuant to Section 307 of the Act to submit to the permittee per'
notice (at intervals not to exceed 9 months) regarding specific actions taken
to achieve full compliance with the requirements of Section 307. Starting
on the permittee shall submit semi-annually to the permit
issuing authority a report summarizing the progress of all known major
contributing industries subject to the requirements of Section 307 towards
full compliance with such requirements. Such report shall include at
least the following information:.

PART TII
Permit No. NC
a. A narrative summary of actions taken by the permittee to ensure
that all major contributing industries comply with the requirements
of Section 307.
b. The number of major contributing industries using the treatment
works, divided into SIC group categories.
c. The number of major contributing industries in full compliance
with the requirements of Section 307, or not subject to these
requirements (e.g., discharge only compatible pollutants).
d. A list identifying by name those major contributing industries
presently in violation of the requirements of Section 307.
4, Immediately upon issuance of this permit, the permittee shall establish
and implement a procedure to obtain from all major contributing indus-
tries specific information on the quality and quantity of effluents intro-
duced by such industrial users. The following information shall be
reported to the permitting agency on a quarterly basis beginning
; quarterly reports reflecting no change from the previous quarter
may simply relate this fact, without submitting repetitive data.
a. Section IV, Standard Form A shall be completed and submitted for
each major contributing industry.
b. Information on the municipal facility as a whole is to be reported
on the monthly Monitoring Report Form (DEM - No. MR 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and
1.3).
Once the specific nature of industrial contributions has been identified,
data collection, and reporting requirements may be levied for other
parameters in addition to those included on Form (DEM No. 1.0, 1.1,
1.2, and 1.3).
5. Based on the information regarding industrial inputs reported by the
permittee pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the permittee will be
notified by the permitting authority of the availability of industrial
effluent guidelines on which to calculate allowable inputs of incompatible
pollutants based on BPT for each industry group. Copies of guidelines
will be provided as appropriate. Not later than 120 days following
receipt of this information, the permittee shall submit to the permitting
authority calculations reflecting allowable inputs from each major con-
tributing industry. The permittee shall also require all such major
contributing industries to implement necessary pre-treatment requirements
(as provided for in 40 CFR, Part 403), providing the permitting authority
with notifications of specific actions taken in this regard. At that time,
the permit may be amended to reflect the municipal facility's effluent
requirements for incompatible pollutants.

. Definitions
a. The monthly average, other than for fecal conform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected in a one -
month period. The monthly average for fecal conform bacteria is
the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -month period.
b. The weekly average, other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the
arithmetic mean of all the composite samples collected during a
one -week period. The weekly average for fecal coliform bacteria
is the geometric mean of samples collected in a one -week period.
c. Flow, M /day (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the
24 hour average flaw, averaged monthly. It is determined as the
arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar
month.
d. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the
summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual
values.
MS

Part I
Page of
Permit No. NC
e. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the
Nth root of the product of the individual values where N is equal
to the number of individual values. The geometric mean is equiva-
lent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of
the individual values. For purposes of calculating the geometric
mean, values of zero (0) shall be considered to be one (1).
g.
Composite Sample: A "composite sample" is any of the following:
(1) Not less than four influent or effluent portions collected
at regular intervals over a period of 24 hours and composited
in proportion to flow.
(2) Not less than four equal volume influent or effluent portions
collected over a period of 24 hours at intervals proportional
to the flow.
(3) An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over
a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow.

PART II1 OTHER REQUIREMENTS
A. Requirements for Effluent Lim1tations on Pollutants Attributable to
Industrial Users
1. Effluent limitations from this discharger are listed in Part I of this
permit. It is apparent that other pollutants attributable to inputs
from major contributing industries using the municipal system may also be
present in the permittee's discharge. At such time as sufficient infor-
mation becomes available to establish limitations for such pollutants,
this permit may be revised to specify effluent limitations for any or
all of such other pollutants in accordance with best practicable technology
or water quality standards.
2. Under no circumstances shall the permittee allow introduction of the following
wastes into the waste treatment system:
a. Wastes which create a fire or explosion hazard in the treatment works.
b. Wastes which will cause corrosive structural damage to treatment works.
c. Solid or viscous substances in amounts which cause obstructions to the
flow in sewers or interference with the proper operation of the treatment
works.
d. Wastewaters at a flow rate and/or pollutant discharge rate which is
excessive over relatively short time periods so as to cause a loss of
treatment efficiency.
With regard to the effluent requirements listed in Part I of this permit,
it may be necessary for the permittee to supplement the requirements of the
Federal Pretreatment Standards (40 CFR, Part 128) to ensure compliance by
the permittee with all applicable effluent limitations. Such actions by
the permittee may be necessary regarding some or all of the major contri-
buting industries discharging to the municipal system.
The permittee shall require each major contributing industry subject to
pre-treatment standards or any other applicable requirements promulgated
pursuant to Section 307 of the Act to submit to the permittee periodic
notice (at intervals not to exceed 9 months) regarding specific actions taken
to achieve full compliance with the requirements of Section 307. Starting
on JUL ' Z,:,7 the permittee shall submit semi-annually to the permit
issuing authority a report summarizing the progress of all known major con-
tributing industries subject to the requirements of Section 307 towards full
compliance with such requirements. Such report shall include at least the
following information:

PART
a. A narrative summary of actions taken by the per

The number of major contributing industries in full compliance
with the requirements of Section 307, or not subject to these
requirements (e.g., discharge only compatible pollutants).
d. A list identifying by name those major contributing industries
presently in violation of the requirements of Section 307.
4. Immediately upon issuance of this permit, the permittee shall establish
and implement a procedure to obtain from all major contributing indus-
tries specific information on the quality and quantity of effluents intro-
duced by such industrial users.. The following information shall be
reported to the permitting agency on a quarterly basis beginning
; quarterly reports reflecting no change from the previous quarter
may simply relate this fact, without submitting repetitive data.
a. Section IV, Standard Form A shall be completed and submitted for
each major contributing industry.
b. Information on the municipal facility as a whole is to be reported
on the monthly Monitoring Report Form (OEM - No. MR 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, and
1.3).
Once the specific nature of industrial contributions has been identified,
data collection and reporting requirements may be levied for other
parameters in addition to those included on Form (DEM No. 1.0, 1.1,
1.2, and 1.3).
5. Based on the information regarding industrial inputs reported by the
permittee pursuant to the preceding paragraph, the permittee will be
notified by the permitting authority of the availability of industrial
effluent guidelines on which to calculate allowable inputs of incompatible
pollutants based on BPT for each industry group. Copies of guidelines
will be provided as appropriate. Not later than 120 days following
receipt of this information, the permittee shall submit to the permitting
authority calculations reflecting allowable inputs from each major con-
tributing industry. The permittee shall also require all such major
contributing industries to implement necessary pre-treatment requirements
(as provided for in 40 CFR, Part 128), providing the permitting authority
with notifications of specific actions taken in this regard. At that time,
the permit may be amended to reflect the municipal facility's effluent
requirements for incompatible pollutants.

Dear Rex:

It has been sometime since I talked business with you, but fortunately
this occasion is under better circumstances. The problem, however, is
still concerning Wingate's lagoon. Due to the Town's limited resources
the Board has decided that the best thing to do with the fifteen acres
upon which the lagoon is located is to sell the property as soon as
possible. As you know, Wingate has now connected cr to Union County's
sewer collection and treatment system and has not used its own lagoon
since October of last year. Both the original property owner from whom
the lagoon property was purchased, and an adjoining land owner are in-
terested in purchasing the fifteen acres. Please advise me as soon as
possible as to any requirements under the law and your regulations which
must be complied with by the Town prior to sale.
I would appreciate very much your reply as soon as possible.
Than`you very much.
truly,
Donald C. Perry

A. Town o
INTRODUCTION
ingate S
Operations
For the past eight years, the Town of Wingate has provided
wastewater treatment services to its customers inside the Town
and in bordering areas. The original system was owned and oper-
ated by Wingate College and was built primarily to service the
college area. In 1972, Wingate College deeded the wastewater
system to the Town of Wingate, which expanded the system to
provide service outside of the college area.
Since 1974, Wingate has participated in the wastewater
facilities planning program for Union County. Under the
program, treatment operations will be phased out in Wingate,
and sewage will be transported through outfalis on unincor-
porated Union County to the recently constructed Monroe
plant. Of the total 1.828 MGD (million gallons per day) design
flow of the Union County collection facilities, .647 MGD has
been designed for Wingate's use. Initial Wingate flows are
estimated at approximately 219,000 gallons per day. Phase out
of Wingate's treatment operations and connection with the
Monroe facility is expected to occur in September, 1980.
As a stipulation of having received federal funds, EPA
regulations required both Union County and the City of
Monroe to develop an approved system of User Charges (UC).
Under EPA regulations, a user charge system must be an
equitable method whereby each user (or class of user) pays
his proportionate share of operations, maintenance and
replacement (OM&R) costs.
In addition, EPA regulations require that if a project
is a regional treatment system accepting wastewater from
other municipalities, the municipalities receiving waste-
water treatment services shall adopt EPA approvable systems
of user charges. Thus, the Tower of Wingate must adopt EPA
approvable user barge systems.

The Town of Wingate will be billed by Union County on
a monthly basis for the costs associated with both transport-
ing the Town's sewage to the Monroe facility and its subse-
quent treatment. The, monthly hill will consist of a fixed
charge and a variable charge. These charges are described
in the report developed by Henningson, Durham, & Richardson
Engineers, Inc. (FMR) entitled Union County-Marshville User
Charge/industrial Cost Recovery System and dated September 14,
1979.
B. Principlesof the User Charge System
As a basis for developing the components of the
systems, several principles of cost determination have been
identified. These principles follow:
Requirements of the Environmental Protection Agency
CEPA-T7- All requirements of EPA regarding systems
development have been considered in the design of
the Wingate system. These requirements relate
primarily to the identification of costs to be
recovered by user charges and the methodology of
determining user charges.
Enterprise Concept - The sewer collection and
treatment activity is viewed as an enterprise
operation. A methodology for recovering all
sewer operating costs as well as capital costs
is included to assist the Town of Wingate in the
rate setting process.
Rate Setting SystemsThis systems design results
in a rate setting system in that it defines a rate
structure and a methodology through which the actual
rates can be adjusted periodically to ensure continued
coverage of sewer costs by the revenues generated
through the rate system. The entire system should be
viewed as an on -going process which self -adjusts to
changes in services, costs and consumption levels.
User Charge Cost Determination - In keeping with
the enterpise concept, all costs associated with
providing sewer services are identified. These
costs include:
Town of Wingate Costs:
••
Sewer Operations - Includes costs related
to operating and maintaining the collection

facilities within the Wingate Service area.
.0 General Fund Costs - These costs are
included in the General Fund budget
of the Town of Wingate and are directly
or indirectly associated with sewer
operations.
Capital Replacement - An annual replace-
ment fund contribution has been estab-
lished to provide for the replacement of
capital items which have a value greater
than five hundred ($500) dollars and an
expected life of greater than one year.
Capital Costs:
Debt Service - Repayment of debt
incurred in initial development
of Town of Wingate sewer system.
Wingate College Reimbursement - This
amount relates to repayment of money
that was loaned to the Town by Wingate
College for use in making improvements
to the sewer system and which is being
repaid in annual installments.
Capital Improvements Contribution -
Represents an annual contribution
that provides funds to be used for
improvements to the system.
Union County Monroe Costs
Customer Costs - Represents costs incurred
by Union County related to meter reading,
billing and customer services.
Fixed Costs - Includes a portion of the debt
service incurred for construction of the Union
County collection facilities and the Monroe
wastewater treatment plant as well as certain
Union County operations which are fixed in the
short term -
Variable (Volume) Costs - Represent transporta-
tion and treatment costs incurred to carry Town
of Wingate sewage to the Monroe treatment plant
where it will be treated and disposed of.

User Char ;e Rate Structure - The user charge struc-
ture consists of three basic types of charges: 1)
specific service charges, 2) monthly minimum
service charges, and 3) commodity charges. These
charges are described below:
Specific Service Charges - These are charges
to recover the cost of specific services (such
as a sewer tap) which benefit a specific
customer or class of customers. The cost of
these specific services will be charged to the
customer(s) receiving benefit from the service.
Monthly Minimum Service Charge - This charge is
similar to the existing minimum charge in that
it establishes a minimum amount that will be
charged monthly to each customer. The proposed
minimum. charge will recover two types of fixed
costs:
.a
Customer Costs - These costs relate to the
basic servicing of a customer's account,
even if no sewer services are used.
Included are a portion of meter reading,
meter maintenance, billing, collections,
and customer service costs.
Availability Costs - These costs are, those
resulting from making sewer facilities
available and keeping them ready to
serve. These costs include:
Town of Wingate debt service.
Wingate College Ileimburserent.
Union County/Monroe fixed cha:rge.
The minimum charge will provide no usage
allowance. This philosophy is recommended
to more equitably° match costs with usage at
the lower consumption levels.
Commodity Charges - These are charges to
recover the costs of sewer operations which
are a function of the volume of sewage treated.
These charges will include the following
Volume Charges - Volume charges for sewage
will recover the costs associated with sew-
age having a domestic level of wastewater

pollutants (HOD, SS, etc.). The volume
unit charge will be expressed in $/thousand
gallons, and will be at a uniform rate.
(EPA regulations disallow a declining block
rate, except in unusual "cost justified"
situations.) Volume of sewage discharge
will be assumed to be 100 percent of water
intake unless special meter devices have
been installed by the customer, or unless
special sewage volume calculations are used
as approved by the Town.
•+ High Strength Charges - These will be high
strength surcharges for treatment of
sewage which is higher in strength than
domestic sewage. These surcharges will
be based upon the following wastewater
parameters and related concentrations in
domestic sewage:
Aiocherni rya1 oxygen demand (}3©D)
250 milligrams per liter.
Suspended solids (SS) - 250 milli-
grams per liter.
Nitrogen (NH3-N) - 16 milligrams
per liter.
These high strength surcharges are "pass -
on" charges developed by the City of
Monroe and represent charges to the Town,
or customers of the Town, for sewage that
requires additional treatment costs above
that level necessary for domestic strength.
sewage.
User Charge Recovery Periods - Proposed sewer user
charges have been developed using fiscal year (FY)
1981 (July 1, 1980-June 30, 1981) budgeted costs.
It is recommended that these charges he adopted as
soon as possible in view of the fact the Town will
begin to incur substantial additional costs when
the connection to the Union County line is complete
in September, 1980. The user charges developed will
have to be revised by the Town at the end of FY
1981, or sooner if Union County and/or the City of
Monroe change their rates.

II. USER CHARGE SYSTEM - FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This section provides a. summary of thefindings and recom-
mendations for sewer user charges. A summary of the impact of
the user charges is also given. The methodology of how these
proposed charges were developed is provided in Sections III and
IV.
User Charge Recommendations
Proposed sewer user charges are presented in Exhibit II-1.
The proposed charges are designed to recover costs for fiscal
year (FY) 1981 (July 1, 1980 through June 30, 1981). Future
user charges should be updated at least annually as theoperating
budget is prepared and finalized. It should be emphasized,
however, that even with annual user charges, costs and revenues
should beclosely monitored and rates updated as appropriate.
The annual user charge update .is recommended for the following
reasons:
One year user charges attempt to match current sewer
costs with sewer revenues. As a result, customers
are more closely charged the cost of providing
service.
There is some uncertainty regarding the actual flows
(including infiltration and inflow) that will occur
in the next year. Therefore, we feel the Town will
be able to develop a more refined user charge as an
operational history regarding flows is established.
The Board of Commissioners will be able to annually
assess the impact of various levels of budgeted costs
on sewer user charges, and consequently, the impact
on sewer customers.
Union County and Monroe will both be updating their
charges at regular intervals. The Town of Wingate
will need to be able to modify their rates as these
costs change.

The proposed FY 1981 charges will have a significant
i.rnpact on all classes of customers. The actual. impact of these
proposed user charges on different classes of sewer customers
is presented in Exhibit 11-2. The major impacts include:
Those resi.dentia.l customers with low levels of discharge
(2,000 gallons per month) will realize an increase in
their bulls of approximately 200 percent.
The monthly bill of the average residential customer
(6,000 gallons per month) within the Wingate Town
limits will increase by approximately 96 percent.
Commercial and industrial customers will realize
changes in their monthly bills ranging from a
decrease of 5 percent to an increase of 174 percent.
The increase in sewer charges for all customers
the following factors:
due to
The newly constructed Union County collection facilities
and the Monroe treatment plant will result in a higher
degree of treatment quality and, therefore, additional
operating and maintenance and debt service costs for
customers of the system.
The proposed user charges are developed to fully cover
certain costs which are not recovered under the
current user charge system. These costs include:
General Fund costs associated with sewer
operations.
Capital Replacement.
Capital lrnprovements.

A. EPA User Charge R.
CHAR;E COST DETERM
FOR SEWER SERVICES
qurr+
vents
i A T I O N
The purpose of a user charge system is t:o provide a
financing mechanism to ensure that sewer operations are self-
sufficient and that each user of the sewer system pays his
proportionate share of operations, maintenance and replacement
(OM&.R) costs based upon the volume and strength of his sewage.
To a large extent, the sewer cost determination and rate
setting methodology for the recommended user charge system
has been mandated by EPA.. The following general user charge
requirements have been sumrn ri ed from the EPA regulations
published in the September 27, 1978 Federal Register.
Operation, maintenance, and replacement (OM&R) costs
for waste treatment must be distributed to users (or
user classes) in proportion to the total loading of
each user (or user class).
User charge systems must generate sufficient revenue
to offset OM&R costs.
Excess revenues collected from a user (or user class)
should be applied to the costs of OM&R attributable
to that user (or user class) for the next year and
the rate adjusted accordingly.
For the first year, estimates of OM&R costs may be
based -upon past experience or other rational methods
may be used.
Users discharging toxic pollutants which result in
increased costs of treatment shall pay for increased
costs.
Costs of O'M&,R for all flow not directly attributable
to users (i.e., infiltration/inflow) must be distributed
among all users based upon either:

The same manner as costs for OM&R.
One or any combination of the following:
Volume.
Land area.
Number of hookups or discharges.
*0 Property valuation (system based on ad
valorem tax).
The user charge system must be incorporated in one or
more municipal legislative enactments or other
appropriate authority.
If the project accepts wastewater from other jurisdic
tions, then the jurisdictions receiving waste treatment
services must adopt user charge systems in compliance
with Federal guidelines.
Each user must be notified at least annually as to what
part of the customer's user charges relates to waste-
water treatment services.
The user charge system shall take precedence over any
existing terms or conditions of agreements or contracts
between the grantee and users.
The grantee shall review, at least every two years,
the wastewater contribution of users and user classes,
the total costs of operations and maintenance of the
treatment works, and its approved user charge system.
The User Charge sYNtem ban he divided into three components
to include:
• Cost determination.
• Development of user charges.
• Billing and collections.
Sections III and IV of this report will address the first two
components - cost determination and development of user charges.
Billing and collections is addressed in the Section V.

Proposed Method of Cost Determinatiet and Rate Settin
As depicted in Exhibit. III-1
he
Cost Determination
Schematic, sewer cost determination and rate setting is a
four step process:'
Identification of all sewer costs which are incurred
in providing wastewater service (Step 1).
Isolation of costs associated with specific services
which are to be fully recovered through revenue
charges to customers utilizing these services (Step 2).
Determination of those costs related to customer ser-
vice and having sewer facilities ready to serve Wingate
customers; these costs then become the basis for the
monthly fixed service charge (Step 3).
Allocation of the remaining costs (commodity costs)
to wastewater treatment parameters (Volume, BOD, SS,
etc.) and translating these costs into unit charges
(Step 4).
The identification of all sewer costs (Step 1) is discussed
this section. Section IV deals with Steps 2, 3 and 4 of the
cost determination and rate setting process - determining charges
for specific services, monthly customer services, and treatment
of the wastewater commodities (Volume, BOD, SS, etc.). Exhibit
III-1 should be referred to while reviewing each step of the
cost and rate determination process.
C. Identification of Sewer Costs
FY 1981 revenue requirements of $134,359, associated
with providing sewer services, have been identified in Exhibit.
I11-2. These costs - Town of Wingate sewer costs, and Union
County/Monroe costs to be charged to Wingate - are discussed
below:

Town
st
Town of ngate sewer costs include sewer operations
cost, General Fund costs attributable to sewer operations
replacement costs, and capital costs. These costs are
included in the annual, budget and relate directly or
indirectly to sewer operations.
Sewer Operations - These direct wastewater costs
relate t
o the operation and maintenance of the
Town's sewer system. Exhibit III-3 identifies
the projected FY 1981 operations cost to be
$33, 465+.
General Fund Costs These costs are included in
the General Fund budget: of the Town of Wingate
and directly or indirectly benefit sewer opera-
tions. Following the enterprise concept, a.
portion of these costs has been allocated to
sewer operations using an appropriate allocation
basis. Exhibit 111-4 identifies these costs: as
totaling $5,355 for FY 1981.
Capital. Replacement. - These costs relate to depre-
csation of capital items which have,a value
greater than five hundred dollars ($500) and an
expected life greater than one year. Examples
of these items would be trucks, large motors,
and pumps. Annual contributions equal to
depreciation (adjusted for inflation) would be
made to a special fund and expenditures from
this fund would be made to replace these capital
items. The replacement fund would help to guard
against widely fluctuating rates since annual
contributions to the fund would be made to
anticipate replacement, rather than funding
replacement on a needs basis. Exhibit 111-5
identifies the replacement contribution for
FY 1981 to be $3,514.
Capital Costs - These costs :inclde repayment of
debt relat
ed to the sewer system and the establish-
ment of a capital improvement s fund for the
purpose of providing funds for improvements and
minor extensions to the sewer system within the
Town of Wingate.

Debt Service - Exhibit III-6 identifies
debt service costs of $30,600 for FY 1981.
This debt service amount represents the
repayment of a portion of the debt incurred
by the Town in the initial development of
the sewer system.
Wingate College Reimbursement - Exhibit 111-6
also identifies $15,000 as having been bud-
geted for payment to Wingate College. This
amount relates to the repayment of money
loaned to the Town by Wingate College for
certain improvements to the utility system
and which is being repaid in annual install-
ments.
Capital improvements - This amount represents
five percent of total revenues that is
restricted for improvements to the system.
Examples of expenditures that could occur
from this fund include minor extensions to
the system, the purchase of mobile radios,
an additional vehicle, etc. Exhibit 111-7
identifies FY 1981 capital improvement
costs to be $4,638.
2. Union County/Monroe Costs
As a result of 201 planning, Union County has con-
structed the necessary force mains and/or gravity sewers
to transport wastewater from the Town of Wingateto the
City of Monroe wastewater treatment plant for treatment
and disposal. The costs associated with providing col-
lection, treatment, and disposal of the Town of Wingate's
sewer wastewater discharge are identified in Exhibit III 8.
The costs are contained in three components - (1) customer
costs; (2) availability costs; and (3) variable or volume
costs.
Customer Cos Customer costs of $1,615 are iden-
tified in Exhibit 111-8. These are costs incurred
independently of consumption and include the
cost of billing, collection, meter reading and
customer service.
Fixed Costs - These costs include debt service
on the Union County and Monroe facilities and

other d i r t 1 l '.'ost of Union Crrunit and Mon o
which are fixed 1.n short run. Fixed cost of
$20,176 are project for FY 1981.
Variable (volume, r t Sewer d1. r h r from the.
Town of Wingate wi t1be metered . r t r* the
Union County collection system. Eadt month the
Town will be billed for the sewage ,hat flows
through this meter at the. rate of ; 251 per 1,000
gallons. This charge includes .1. 1, gal-
lons City of Monroe charge for treatment of sewage
and a S.071/1,000gallons riiorr County 1r° nsp r
tat, hart charge. Total volume costs of $20,036
are projected for FY 1981.

IV. DETERMINATION OF Y 19R1 SE'%EH USER
CHARGES
Section III dealt with Step 1 of the cost determination
and rate setting process, that is identifying all costs
associated with providing sewer services. This section
deals with Steps 2 through 4 of this process and translates
sewer costs into user charges. These steps include:
Step 2 - Cost and revenue determination for
specific service charges.
Step 3 - Cost and revenue determination for the
fixed monthly service charge.
Step 4 - Cost and revenue determination for monthly
volume charges and high strength surcharges.
A. Step 2 - Cost and Revenue Determination for Specific
Services.
After having identified all sewer costs, the next
step is to establish specific service charges sufficient
to recover the cost of providing certain services for
a customer. For FY 1981only one specific service
charge, a sewer tap fee, has been developed.
Sewer Tap Fee
The Town of Wingate, at the customer's request,
will construct a lateral from the main collection line
to the property lineof the customer. The customer is
responsible, at his own expense, for extending the
lateral from the property line to his house or business.
In Exhibit IV -I, the charge for the connection has been
calculated to be $238 for a four(4)-inch line. Revenue
from sewer taps in FY 1981 is projected to be $2,380.
Removal of Specific Service Revent
In Exhibit IV-2 revenues from. providing specific
services are removed from. total costs. The remaining
costs, $132,009, have to be recovered through monthly
fixed service charges and volume charges.

Step 3 - Det

the recovers customer and availability costs as discussed
below:
Customer Service Costs - These costs are a function
of the number of customer accounts. These costs
include the Union County/Monroe customer costs and
Town of Wingate costs associated with meter reading
and maintenance, billing, collections, and customer
service. Total customer costs of $12,493 are identi-
fied in Exhibit IV-4. Customer costs are allocated
equally to each account.
Availability Costs - Avallab.ility costs are those.
amounts that relate to the cost of keeping the sewer
facilities "ready to serve." Availability costs
should be allocated to individual customers based on
the potential demand that each customer places on the
system. These costs include:
To of Wingate debt, sery
Wingate College reimbu.rsemerzt..
Fixed Union County/Monroe costs (includes debt
service and certain other costs which are fixed
in the short term.)
In Exhibit. IV-3, monthly fixed service charges are
developed for Town of Wingate customers. These charges
vary according to the size of the customer's water meter
(meter size reflects potential. demand on the. system.)
Those customers living outside the Town will pay higher
minimum charges based upon a higher portion of debt
service being borne by those customers.
The minimum charge will provide for no usage. This
philosophy is being adopted to more equitably snatch costs
with usage at the lower discharge levels.
C. Step - Detterrn'nation of Volume Char *es and TH Strength
Surcharges
After the revenues generated by specific service and
monthly fixed service charges have been removed from the
total sewer costs, the remaining costs have to be recovered

In Exhibit Ill -5, total commodity costs of $53,749 are
identified. The total projected FY 1981 commodity costs
are then divided by expected FY 1981 billable gallons of
discharge to arrive at the projected volume of 8.75 per
1,000 gallons.
Surcharge rates have been developed by the City of
Monroe to recover the costs of treating high strength
sewage- These surcharges are currently $.02616, $.01594
and 8.18558 per pound of BOD, SS. and Nitrogen treated
respectively. The Town of Wingate will be subject to
these surcharges if high strength wastes are detected at
the Towns junction with the Union County transmission
lines.

V. BILLING, COLLECTION, AND OTHER ACCOUNT1NG
FOR USER CHARGES
In order to implement the user charge system, it is
necessary to integrate the proposed rate structure with the
billing, collection, and accounting system of the Town.
In some cases, accounting procedures must be revised, and new
accounting entries and forms must be introduced. This section
will subdivide the discussion into two areas to include:
Billing and collection of proposed user charges.
• Other user charge accounting.
A. BILLING AND COLLECTION OF PROPOSED USER CHARGES
As a part of the user charge structure, several changes
have been recommended for implementation in Fiscal Year 1981.
The recommendations relate to the following user charges:
Monthly sewer service.
Sewer taps.
Industrial monitoring and billing charge and high
strength surcharges.
Procedures, forms, and accounting entries necessary to
implement charges related to these services are described
below:
1. Monthly Sewer Service
The current sewer charge consists of a monthly minimum
charge (includes 2,000 gallons of discharge) and a declining
rate volume charge based on the amount of discharge (esti-
mated as 100 percent of the water meter reading). This
charge is the same for all customers inside the Town limits.
Under the current sewer charge system, both the minimum
charge and the volume charge are 50% higher for customers
outside the Town limits.

The proposed monthly sewer user charge is composed of a
minimum service charge (by meter size) and a volume charge.
The minimum service charge is a set amount charged monthly to
each of the Towns customers irrespective of discharge volume..
Outside Town customers pay a higher minimum charge based on
their 50% more in debt service costs than inside -Town c:ustome rs.
Added to the fixed minimum charge is a volume charge based upon
a flat rate per 1,000 gallons of discharge. The volume charge
is the same for customers both inside and outside the Town
limits.
The following accounting entry should be made to record
sewer service revenue:
Accounts Receivable $10,000
Sewer Service Revenue $10,000
(To record the billing of $10,000 for sewer service revenue.
Sewer service revenue is composed of minimum service and
volume charges).
If desired for additional management information, "Sewer Service
Revenue" could be subdivided into customer service and volume
revenues.
2. Sewer Taps
There are certain costs incurred by the Town associated
with tapping a. customer into the sewer system. A sewer tap
involves the construction of a lateral from the collector line
to the customer's property. The property owner is charged with
the cost of this service.
Sewer tap charges are collected at the time the customer
applies for service. Under the proposed'user charge structure,
sewer tap revenue should be segregated from water tap revenue
and the following accounting entry would record sewer tap
revenue:
Cash $238
Sewer Taps & Connection Fees $238
(To record sewer tap revenue of $238).

Industrial Monitoring and Billing Charges and High
Strength Surcharges
At present the Town does not monitor the discharge of any
of its industrial or commercial customers nor does the Town
levy any high strength surcharges based on the volume and
strength of a customer's discharge. As a result of the up-
grading of sewage treatment under the 201 grants, program,
customers that discharge high strength wastes will be required
to pay a surcharge to cover the additional costs of treating
these wastes.
When the Town begins discharging into the Monroe treatment
facility, it will have its sewage discharge monitored on a
regular basis. While no high strength wastes are expected
initially, if they are detected by monitoring, Union County
will charge. the Town for the costs of treating this waste based
on the concentrations exceeding the following parameters
(related surcharges are also given):
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BODY -above 250 mg/liter
($.02616/1b.)
Suspended Solids (SS) -above 250 mg/liter ($.01594/lb.)
Nitrogen (NH3N) above 16 mg/liter ($.18558/lb.)
If significant high strength discharge does occur, the
Town should consider monitoring the discharge of its indus-
trial and commercial customers. The Town, at present, does not
have a laboratory or anymonitoring capability and, therefore,
would likely have to contract for monitoring services. If
monitoring does become necessary it is recommended that the
customers being monitored pay for the actual costs of the
process. An example of how a monitoring charge might be
calculated is shown in Appendix A. (This methodology would be
used if the Town acquired its own sampling and laboratory
equipment.) The high strength billing and collections process
is depicted in Exhibit V-1.

The T©wn of Wingate has been restricted from any more
sewer taps. At this time, we are waiting for completion
of 201 Sewer Project by Union County. We will then be
tied into this system and have no problem.
Mr. Bill Summerlin, Public Works Manager for the county
assures me the completion date will be in mid June.
The basic needs of the town for taps at this time are
increasing. Since we are assured that we are going into
201 in June, I would to like to request a permit for
ten(10) more taps. This would certainly help us at this
time. I would appreciate any help you can give me with
this problem.
Very truly yours,

The Town of Wingate acknowledges letter from Mr. Overcash
relative to Violation/Compliance Evaluation Analysis.
We feel that the high readings are a result of heavy rains
prior to the time that samples were taken.
We are making all effort to correct the situation. Our
maintenance workers have been instructed to be more
thorough in their cleaning program at the Lagoon and
hopefully the SOD and TSS will be in compliance this
period.

oii,TRAr
I was recently elected to the office of Mayor of the
Town of Wingate, N. C.
I find that things are always different. looking in, than
when you are in a position of looking out.
We just started a. community development project in a
section, of our town called Highland Park. Talbert-Cex.
Associates are incharge of the entire project. This
section of town has access to our sewer and water lines
but all houses are not tapped into the, sewer or in many
cases do not have bath -room facilities. There are eighteen
(18) houses in this target area and of the e fifteen(15)
need taps.
I find that until the 201 county sewer project is complete,
that there is to be no more taps. These are not new houses
and were in the original projection at the timeof our
sewerage needs.
I need to be enlightened on this problem. , I had just.
assumed that since it is just a remodelingproject that
there would beno question about their tapping into the
existing system.
We want to do what is legally right. Therefore in order
to proceed with this project; are we, right in checking
with you. first and how should we, proceed.?
Wehave already started the rehabilitation program and there
is a more positive attitude on the part of the citizens.
I will belooking forward to hearing from you.
Very truly yours,
The Townof Wingate

DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
Request for Sewer Connection
Town of Wingate
Union County
JAN
N NENTAL
In the past the Mooresville Regional Office has authorized. the Town
of Marshville to make a limited number of residential connections to the
existing sewerage system. These authorizations were granted after the Town
had demonstrated good faith by conscientious operation of the existing waste-
water treatment plant by promptly submitting the required self -monitoring data,
and by making the limited number of taps available to all residents of Marshville.
It is expected the Town of Wingate can be handled in the above manner until
the areawide system is available.
The staff of the Mooresville Regional Office feels very strongly a
restrictive statement is needed in many, perhaps not all, permits. issued
for situations similar to the Town of Wingate. This restriction prevents
annexing an area to provide sewers to land that otherwise could not be developed.
It has given this Office a lever to insure the existing facilities were operated
in the best manner possible, and to insure promptsubmitting of required self-
monit©ring data.
The Town of Wingate was not monitoring and/or reporting correctly until
their requests were not recommended due to insufficient data, and immediately
the situation was corrected.
The flow at Wingate has reduced to a reported 0.08, 0.15, and 0.17 MGD
according to the last three months self -monitoring (August to October, 1978).
The facility is also meeting secondary limits according to the self -monitoring
data, and producing a reported NH3 as N of less than 0.5 mg/1 and TSS of 4 mg/1.
It would appear that these values are extremely low (demonstrating a high degree
of treatment) for a lagoon. As of this writing, a sampling inspection has not
been made on the facility.
It should be noted a minimum of twenty-tive (25) connections were
requested. The following comments are offered.

being planned.
2. The Areawide Treatment Plant is to be completed in May, 1979.
3. The Areawide Collection System should be available to Wingate by
December, 1979.
4. The Town of Marsh Ile has been allowed fifteen taps per year.
5. The data on the Wingate plant has nut been verified.
6. It is not the intent of the staff to stiffle the Town of Wingate.
With these facts at hand, the staff has no objection to the authorization of
fifteen (15) connections to the Town of Wingate Wastewater Treatment Plant.

As is evident fm the above, the facility was i violation of the flow
Cation for themonths of February and March, 1970, and in violation of
0 for the two quarters reported during 1979. 'aye to these violations,
fice could not rec, nd additional connections to the wastewater
t syst , as any additional flow would not improve the situation.
ously, th additional flow from ten residential users would be relatively
nificant (approxt tely 4000 gpd). Furthermore, the Town of Wingate
nvolved in construction of a s r line to con ; t its sewerage system
to the City of lnroe's astewater tr nt cyst . Upon connection of
Wingate's system to flonr e, the discharge from Wingate's wastewater trwatmont
plant will cease. It is expected that the connection will be made within the
next nine (9) ' ^fin"ths. In light of th facts that the increased flow should
not have a significant adverse effect, and the discharge from the Wingate
plant will he of a shoat duration, this Office has no objections to the
connections, provided ty,t the connections can be approved in light of the
fact that Permit violations have been reported.

Dear Mr. Caldwell:

[phone]
February 28, 1979
Your department's letter dated February 16, 1979 to Honorable Mayor
F. Bernard Helms was forwarded to this office for reply. As we discussed by
telephone, Wingate is not presently in an active Step 2 201 program..
Two meetings were held on this subject. The first on September 13,
1978, with Mr. Rex Gleason and Mr. Dave Adkins. The second on September 25,
1978, with Ms. Laura Childress, Mr. Richard Peacely, Mr. Dave Connors and
Mr. Vern Harris. It was understood that Wingate's position was to connect to
the County system upon completion.
The recent construction program for the sewer collection system to
serve Wingate covered most areas in and around Wingate. All flows were directed
to the stabilization lagoon.. Union County has taken bids to construct a series
of pump stations, force mains and gravity interceptors east of Monroe, North
Carolina. As these lines cross the Wingate outfall, the County's Contractor will
connect the new lines to the existing Wingate system. It is anticipated that con-
struction will start this spring with the completion date of the entire Richardson
Creek Basin being sometime in late 1980. The intergovernmental agreement between
Wingate and Union County was executed on October 16, 1978.
Should this letter not surfice as a progress report, please advise.

Mr. Dick Peace
Mr. L. P. Bent
Attached hereto is a letter from J. E. Hinkel, City Manager, City of Monroe,
requesting authorizations to make approximately fourteen (14) connections to
1 °Ionroe's system during the next few months. We have had. similar requests from
the Mayor of the Town of Wingate and can expect similar requests from the Mayor
of the Town of Marshvill.e. It. is requested that your staff contact Mr. Hinkel
and Mayor Helms, establish the number of taps deemed to be necessary during
the period of time required to bring the systems into compliance. After
establishing the total number of connections that are deemed to be necessary,
conduct an evaluation of the impact of the connections on the system. After
completing the impact analysis, provide us with. your recommendation concerning
these natters. In addition, a similar contact and evaluation is appropriate for
the Town of Marshville.
Permits prepared in the Mooresville Regional Office have generally contained
a restrictive clause that prohibited any additional connections to existing sewer
systems, while permits prepared in other regions of the State generally allow
normal residential growth with the limitation being placed on in -town versus
out-of-town or existing systems versus new systems or both. (As a general rule,
little impact has been noted relative to normal residential growth in a munici-
pality Restrictions which require connection by connection approval tends to simply
work a hardship on the municipality and increases the staff's work load.
Please do not consider this me z randum as a relaxation of the Division's control
relative to wastewater discharges to inadequate systems. It is simply intended to
point out that there are areas of reasonableness which the staff should consider in
making these findings and that these areas of reasonableness should be a part of
permit restrictions.. It is certainly reasonable that the agency should on a case
by case basis consider any additions of industrial wastes or major subdivision
developments including multiple family apartment developments. If you wish to dis-
cuss this matter, do not hesitate to contact me. In the meantime, an evaluation of
the above referenced system is requested.

Dear Mr. McRorie:
ETIQ1
The Monroe Waste Treatment Plant Project is well underway. The
Contractor's latest estimated completion date is May, 1979.
Screens, aerators, and drying beds are inooperation. 0neaeroeic
digestor is ready to be put in operation. These facilities
have had a very substantial beneficial effect on the degree of
treatment achieved at the Waste Treatment Plant.
A very aggressive pretreatment program for industries has been
implemented. Implementation had been brought about by amendment
to the Monroe Sewer Use Ordinance requiring more stringent effluent
limits for industries and by assigning enforcement responsibility
to Mr. John Rollins, who has become extremely well qualified in
this field. Industries are cooperating extremely well with the
City of Monroe, and all major industrial effluent problems have
been solved. DEM representatives from Mooresville assisted in
development of the Sewer Use Ordinance and met on several. occassions
with groups of industrial representatives and the City. This effort
has had a beneficial effect on influent to the Monroe Plant.
The Inflow -Infiltration Project is more than 56% complete and very
definitely has reduced peak flows. Several major inflow problems
have been found and are in progress of being corrected.
The overall effect of these major efforts are reflected in data
shown in copies of the last two monitoring reports attached.

Dear Sir:
TOWN COMMISSIONERS
GEORGE G. GERDING
WILLIAM C. MASON
W. R. SEJJ FRS
Wingate has, as of October 16, 1978, contracted with Union County whereby
Union will treat Wingate's waste water under the 201 program. The Town.
respectfully requests permission for a minimum of twenty-five (25) connections
to our present system at the very earliest possible time. The following
reasons are given in support of this request..
1.. Wingate is a small town th a small tax base, mai.n.ly, due to the area
occupied by Wingate College, a not -taxable entity. At the time Wingate's sewer
collection and treatment_ system plans were approved by your department, the -
above fact was fully disclosed and discussed. The additional user fees and
tax revenue from new homes is Most essential to Wingate in order that the
Town's debt be paid.
2. There will be no future industrial users connected. to the present
system.
3. Residential or domestic waste water will be the type user to be
connected.

Dear Sir:
TOWN NERS
GEORGE G. GEBtING
WILLIAM C. MASON
W. R. SELLERS.,
Wingate has, as of October 16, 1978, contracted with Union County whereby
Union will treat. Wingate's waste water under the 201. program. The Town
respectfully requests permission for a minimum of twenty-five (25) connections
to our present system at the very earliest possible time. The following
reasons are given in support of this request:
1. Wingate is a small town with a small tax base, mainly due to the area.
occupied by Wingate College, a non-taxable entity. At the time Wingate's sewer
collection and treatment system plans, were approved by your department, the
above fact was fully disclosed and discussed. The additional user fees and
tax. revenue from new homes is most essential to Wingate in order that the
Town's debt be paid.
2. There will be no future industrial users connected to the present
system.
3. Residential or domestic waste water will be the type user to be
connected.
4. Since the lagoon was constructed in the 60's by Wingate College, the
Town of Wingate, since taking over operation of the lagoon, has installed
chlorination facilities and the effluent is now being, chlorinated.
5. The lagoon was originally designed for 330,000 gallon capacity, and
the average daily flow is now only 250,000.
6. Wingate now has two houses that will be completed within the next
two weeks, and there are approximately ten mare in the planning stage by
property owners. Some lots will not meet required percolation standards, and
Wingate's sewer ordinance requires homes to be connected to its system where.
the line is within 200 feet of the residence.

Re: Town of Wingate County building permits and tap ons to sewer
collection system.
Dear Mr. Gleason
On Monday, October 16, 1978, the Town of Wingate entered into a
written agreement with Union County, pursuant to 201 plans, for
the County to treat Wingate's waste. water. Enclosed is a copy of
the agreement for your records and review.
This contract was entered. into, after considerabletime and dis-
cussion, and upon certain. alterations to the original draft as
proposed by Union County. We wish to thank you and the other
State personnel who assisted us in this matter.
Wehope that the agreement will indicate to you and your depart-
ment that the Town is expeditiously and earnestly proceeding to
comply with your regulations. It is only with your help that we
were able to, secure a reasonable contract with Union County by
which our citizens, we think, can afford to live with.
Mayor Helms and the Town Board has ask that I request from you
that the Town be allowed to permit at leasttyegty-fivecon-
nectioak, to its system within the next few months. Several
people have already purchased lots upon whichto build, immediately,
but cannot do so. In addition, we know of at least two homes al-
ready under construction.
Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Ag , thank you very much:

Unbeknownst to tyre o arty dui ldi or that WI ngate s dPDES Permit
restricted a.dditiorra1 onoections to the sewer system, building permits were
given to a we, T. ik Lorry, Jr. , and a Mr. Jerry Thomas to construct: horses
in that area. The °ore likewise unaware that their sewer line Permit
(o. 4893) would li it con section to only the duplex, promised the homeowners
that they could connect. Mr. L ry and Mr. Thomas have c leted construction.
of their homes, but are unable to occupy the dwellings because of no sewer
facilities. The subject duplex h,w s been constructed for several years and
is presently being served by a septic tank -nitrification field system. The
two new he s are located in an area where soil conditions and percolation
rates are unsuitable for construction of a subsurface system
At a meeting in the Tower on September 13 1978, Rex Gleason and Dave
Adkins of this Office, met with Mayor Helms, Council mbers, and the Towns
Engineer to discuss this as well as other matters. It was requested in the
meeting that if the owner of the duplex signed a release, whereby the duplex
would not connect to the Towns system, then could approval to connect the
other two residences be obtained. Mr. Gleason suggested that the Town make..
a written request to that effect, and p ,, P wt review would be given the matter.

Sept ber 15, 1978
In its review of Mayor Helms' request, this Office has co selted wit
the Union County Health Department regarding the condition of tyre septic t ,nI
systemserving the duplex. According to the Health Department, the septic
tank system has been working satisfactorily and they d© not anticipate any
probl ; with the system, as the soil conditions where the cyst. is located
is different than that where the homes are located (i.e. w soil conditions
are acc r tab e at the duplex). Furthermore, connection of the two h ; s
in lieu of the duplex should not result in any increased wastewater flow to
the Town's sewer system. In light of this Office's evaluation of the matter
it is recant/ended that Permit No. 4393 be amended to authorize connection of
the private homes of Mr. Lowery and Mr. Th*:as instead of connection of the
duplex on Lowery Drive. it is requested that a decision on this matter be
expedited.

This is to advise that subject Temporary Certificate, issued to the
operator designated by you to be the Operator in Responsible Charge of your
wastewater treatment facility has an expiration date of December 20, 1978.
This places upon you the responsibility of taking necessary steps to provide
a properly certified operator to operate your facility in order to remain
in compliance with the provisions of Article 3, Chapter 90A of the General
Statutes of North Carolina.
Please be reminded that it was your responsibility to encourage your
Operator in Responsible Charge to make every effort to become permanently
certified by examination during the Temporary Certification period. If your
operator has achieved permanent certification, please advise this office
accordingly. If not, please advise of reasons for failing to comply with
this requirement.
You should be advised. that the Certification Commission expects every
facility owner to have their Operator in. Responsible Charge properly trained
and certified by examination and hold. a certificate grade equal to that of
the plant classification or higher.
The Certification Commission will be extremely reluctant to renew a
Temporary Certificate, if the above efforts have not been made. In addition,
the Commission will only consider issuance of Temporary Certification when
the supply of permanently certified operators is inadequate within the area
of the facility or in casesof extreme extenuating circumstances. Persons
being issued Temporary Certification must possess, the required experience
and education to be eligible to take examination for the grade equivalent
to the plant classification.
In regard to the above, it isimportant that you take the necessary
steps to meet the requirements set forth herein prior to the expiration of
your operator's Temporary Certificate.

Please know that the staff of this office stands ready to assist
you in this endeavor in any way possible; therefore, if you have any

Re NPDES Permit NO. NC 0029360.
Town of Wingate, Union Co. , N. C.
Dear Mr. 1c.Rorie:
TOWN COMMISSIONERS
URGE G. GIs RDING
WILLIAM C. MASON
W. R. SELLERS
By letter of September ` , 1978 from Mr. D. l ex. Gleason, Regional Engineer,
the. Town of Wingate. was informed that the Town had violated the terms and
conditions in the ECSL of NPDES Permit No. C 29360.
As discussed at the meeting with Mr. Gleason, September 1.3, 1978 we advised
at that time that Wingate was not aware of the "triggering" date. of the grant
agreement between Union County aid EPA. The facts are t:at Wingate has never
at any time been notified of such, that Union County has .received all the infor-
mation pertaining to such and has failed to communicate with us regarding same.
1 .iu,gate's engineer, Frank C. Coc'ki.nos of Charlotte, N. C., made the statement
to Mr. Gleason that he believed that he had at some time in the past received
a copy of the grant agreement; however, Mr. Cockinos, upon returning to his
office, has looked through all his files and has concluded that neither he nor
he, as Wingate"s engineer, ever received a copy of the. grant agreement or noti-
fication of any "triggering" date. In short., Union County has been designated
the "lead. agency" and as a consequence has received all correspondence without
forwarding any copies or information. to Wingate.
Regarding the proposed contract that Union County has requested Wingate. to.
execute, which contract proposes that Union County collect Wingate's waste
water and provide treatment therefor, Wingate never received a copy of the
written contract until duly 1978. Union County did not approve and execute its
own proposed contract until June 28, 1978, which date appears on the contract
notary acknowledgement. Consequently, Wingate never had the opportunity to
review the contract prior to our receipt of same in July. Furthermore, Wingate
has not yet been invited to meet with Union County officials, since receipt, of
the contract, for the purpose of making suggested changes, which we believe
to be very pertinent as fax as the future rights of our citizens. Some. of the
provisions presently contained in the proposed contract and with which Wingate
believes it cannot adopt are. as follows:
1..-The contract states that Wingate shall pay to Union the "actual cost'
incurred in connection with transporting, monitoring and treatment, etc.
Wingate is concerned that this provision omits facts which might rev al
what or how the actual costs will, be determined, plus the fact that there

Page 2 - Mrn McRorie
is no estimate given, nor is there any maximum.
2. Union County is given the right to use Wingate's lines at noexpense
to the County. Thus, Wingate would not have control over its own lines,
Union County could use the lines to full capacity, thus eliminating
Wingate's expansion or even decreasing Wingate's present use.
3. The contract refers to "the Sewer Use Ordinance agreed upon by Monroe
and Union" and also refers to another agreement between Union and Monroe
pertainingto sewer treatment. Wingate has never received anyinformation
concerning either of these documents, although the proposed contract would
make Wingate subject to both.
4. The contract states that in event of expansion/annexation by the Town,
that Wingate would pay Union County for grant funds received and used for
construction of the annexed. lines, although Union County would have only
twelve and one-half per cent of the cost invested in same.
There are numerous other details set out in the proposed contract that need to be
discussed, clarified, and perhaps changed.
The local construction program for Wingate is complete. The only additional. con-
struction workneeded is the connection from the existing Wingate intercepter to
the proposed Union. County pump station to beconstructed by Union County. In
other words, Wingate has nu design or construction work to do under the Step II and

This letter is in response to your letter of June 30, 1978.
1. It appears that our present secondary treatment
system is not capable of meeting the testing limits
contained in the permit.
2. The Town of Wingate has applied for a Section 301
(i) (1) extension.
Sampling frequencies have been changed from weekly
to daily. (Our operator, John Eudy, was at school
the week that DEM sampled.)
I wish to express to you our willingness and desire to meet any and
all standards that we possibly can.
Please feel free to call me anytime.
Very truly yours,
