Dear Mr. Wood: Chapter 143, North Carolina General Statutes, authorizes and directs the Environmental Management Commission of the Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources to protect and preserve the water and air resources of the State. The Division of Water Quality has the delegated authority to enforce adopted pollution control rules. This letter is a standard notification and is intended to advise you of the legal requirements under North Carolina law. Based upon a review of your groundwater compliance monitoring data submitted on January 27,1997 as a requirement of the subject permit, the Division has reason to believe that the permitted activities have resulted in the groundwater standards being exceeded. The standards can be found at 15A NCAC 2L. Condition No. I(4) of your permit states: The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility. 919 North Mon Street Mooresville, North Carolina 28115 Voice 704-663-1699 FAX 704-663-6040 An Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer 50% recycled/10% post:consumet paper rStanly County Board of Education June 11, 1997 Page Two Specific constituents which are exceeding the groundwater standards are as follows: Constituent & Well No. Concen a ion* 2L Standard* MW-1 enzene Naphthalene Isopropylbenzene 1.6 1.0 35.2 21.0 1.4 ND *Concentration in parts per billion ND - Not permitted in detectable concentrations Commission Rule 15A NCAC 2L .0106(d) states: Any person conducting or controlling an activity which results in an increase in the concentration of a substance in excess of the groundwater standards as a result of activities conducted under the authority of a permit issued by the state, shall, where concentrations are detected at or beyond the review boundary demonstrate, through predictive calculations or modeling, that natural site conditions, facility design and operational controls will prevent a violation of standards at the, compliance boundary; or submit a plan for alteration of existing site conditions, facility design or operational controls that will prevent a violation at the compliance boundary, and implement that plan upon its approval by the Director. You are also directed to sample the water supply well which serves the Bowers residences for volatile and semi -volatile organic compounds using the Approved Analytical Methods for Groundwater Analyses (see attachment). The modeling information or plan for alteration, and the laboratory results for the Bowers well must be submitted within thirty (60) days of receipt of this letter. Any violation of 15A NCAC 2L may subject you to a civil penalty assessment under the authority of G.S. 143-215.6A of up to $10,000 per rule violation. Each day that the violation continues may be considered a separate violation. Failure to respond within the time specified and to voluntarily achieve compliance may result in a recommendation for enforcement, the issuance of a Special Order against you under the authority of G.S. 143-215.2, and/or revocation of your permit. Your response and/or questions should be directed to Peggy Finley at (704) 663-1699, ext. 236. Sincerely, D. Rex Gleason, P.E.

Schools - Endy Elementary School File No. RV 93-070 NPDES Permit No. NC0029483 Stanly County On June 14, 1993, Mr. James Misenheimer requested that NPDES Permit No. NC0029483 be rescinded due to your facility being converted to a low pressure pipe wastewater system covered under Stanly County Subsurface Permit WQ0006168. The copy of your request was forwarded from our Mooresville Regional Office to our Central Office along with their verification of non -discharge. The paper work was mishandled and the request was never responded to. Later, a civil penalty was mistakenly assessed against Stanly Co. Schools - Endy Elementary School because renewal of their NPDES permit was not made at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the permit. Due to this fact, your civil penalty assessment RV 93-070 is hereby remitted and your case closed. Also, as per your request, NPDES Permit No, NC0029483 is hereby rescinded. If in the future, you determine that you wish to have a discharge, you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES Permit. Discharging without a valid NPDES permit will subject the discharger to a civil penalty of up to $10,000.00 per day. We regret any inconvenience this error may have caused and are taking measures to reduce these kinds of errors in the future. if there is a need for any additional information, please contact Robert Farmer at (919) 733-5083, ext. 531. cc: Mr. Jim Patrick, EPA Stanly County Health Department Mooresville Regional Office Permits & Engineering Unit - Coleen Sullins Fran McPherson, DEM Budget Office Operator Training and Certification Technical Support Branch Facilities Assessment Unit - Robert Farmer - w/attachments Central Files - w/attachments SOC Tracking - Jeff Bouchelle w/attachments Aquatic Toxicology - Larry Ausley P.0, Box 29535, Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 Telephone 919-733-7015 FAX 919-733-2496 An Equal Opportunity Affirmative Action Employer SO% recycled/ 1 Cr% post -consumer paper e of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources Division of Environmental Management James B.

NC0029483 Stanly County RV 93-070 This letter transmits notice of a civil penalty assessed against the subject facility in the amount of $250.00. This assessment is based upon the fact that a request for renewal of the subject permit was not received by the Division of Environmental Management at least 180 days prior to the expiration date contained in the permit. The renewal request requirement is contained in your permit and/or North Carolina General Statute (N.C.G.S.) 143-215.1(c). Based upon the above fact, I conclude as a matter of law that the subject facility violated or failed to act in accordance with the requirements of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1. A civil penalty of not more than $10,000.00 per day, in accordance with N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(a), may be assessed against a person who fails to comply with the terms, conditions, or requirements of a permit required by N.C.G.S. 143- 215.1. Based upon the above facts and conclusions of law, I hereby assess the subject facility a civil penalty in the amount of $250.00 for violation of N.C.G.S. 143-215.1(c), pursuant to delegation. provided for by N.C.G.S. 143-215.6A(h).

School System, was received by this office requesting that Permit No. NC0029483 be rescinded and that the monitoring requirements of SOC WQ No. 88-51 be eliminated for this school. Mr. Misenheimer indicated that a subsurface low pressure pipe system (LPP) had been installed and certified by the project engineer. The LPP system will be operated under Subsurface Disposal Permit No. WQ0006168 monitored by the Stanly County Environmental Health Department (SCEHD). Staff contacted the SCEHD to determine the status of Permit No. WQ0006168 and were informed that the subsurface system at the school had been inspected and appeared to meet the construction standards of the permit. Since the discharge has been eliminated the subject permit can be rescinded. Also the subject SOC requirements can likewise be eliminated, since all conditions of the SOC have been met for this school. *41 imrPT. or NATritAz MAPTTACP4 41V1) DINIZLOPAITNT OC T t :993 STANLY COUNTY BOARD OF EuucATION DIVISMN Or EttilqI,V4Et PENT NOGRESMIE RECIDNAL FflCE Septimber 30, 1993 Mr. Robert Farmer DFITNR, Division of Environmental Management Water Quality Section PO 29535 Raleigh, NC 27626-0535 Dear Sir: Our school system is in receipt of your letter assessing a civil penalty of $250.00 for not renewing the NPDES PERMIT #NC0029481 at least 180 days prior to the expiration date contained in the permit. The notification causes several concerns to our educational agency as identified in the following comments: 1- Our most recent SOC for that facility specified —"make improvements to wastewater treatment facilities in order to meet final effluent limitations, or cease discharge, by June 30, 1993. 2- Following a very comprehensive soil study of the site by our consulting wastewater projects personnel, Mr. Thurman Horne-P.E., Mr. Bob Deweese-Environmental Engineer with Plant operations of SDPI, and Mr.Tony Jacobs -Soil Scientist, the Stanly County Schools submitted plans and requested on February 14, 1992 to construct a LPP system at Endy Elementary School. Following several communications, DEM issued permit #WQ0006168 on July 14, 1992, for the construction of the LPP system at that site. The plans approved for that installation incorporated the old existing sandfilter into the new LPP system as a filtering device to reduce solids prior to grey water being pumped into the new piping system. Therefore, the sandfilter as it was being used for the old permit had to be discontinued putting that system out of operation and modified prior to putting the new system into operation. Both our project engineer, Thurman Horne and representatives from the local Stanly County Office of Environmental Health monitored the installation of the new LPP system and certified it as operational on June 14, 1993. 3- Attachment #1 is a copy of the project engineers acceptance and sign -off on the project. 4- Attachment #2 is a copy of the letter sent by our Maintenance Department to the regional office of DEM requesting that Permit #NC0029483 be rescinded. The letter was sent to that office due to the fact that it's personnel are our closest contact with your division and the ones handling on site visits concerning our compliance endeavors. The communications between the regional office and your state office have usually been very good in the past as the office receiving the letter first has apparently copied and forwarded to the other in a very responsible manner. 223 South Second Street, Post Office Box 1399 / Albemarle, NC 28002-1399 / {704).983-5151 As you can determine, our educational agency has made every effort we are aware of to show reason for not needing the permit renewed. To be fined following a review of the data provided above leaves cur personnel responsible for wastewater compliances scamwhat concerned and frustrated. Please evaluate the responsible actions on the part of the Stanly County Schools in complying with the June 30, 1993 dead line of the most recent SOC for the Endy Elementary School and consider the fact that we should not be in violation of a permit renewal procedures at this time.

The facility records effIu ent data for the months the school is in session, but does not always record corresponding instream data (records no flow"). However, even in periods of no upstream flow, their permit requires downstream monitoring for evaluating the instream decay of waste and stream reaeration at a point downstream of the dis- charge.

Part Page of 14 Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission. 4. Act or "the Act" The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33 USC 12.51, et. seq. 5. Mass/➢ay Measurements a. The "monthly average discharge: is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sample and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of the pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Daily Average" or "Monthly Average°" in Part I of the permit. b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday -Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges samples and/or measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then. dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" in Part I of the permit. c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight) of a pollutant discharged during a calendar day. If only one sample fs taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant calculated f"rc m it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily Maximum," in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sample and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit. Part II Page 12 of 14 6. Concentration Measurement The average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges samples and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" or "Daily Average" under "Other Limits in Part I of the permit. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week (Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar week, This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in. Part 1 of the permit. The ""maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a calendar day. It is identified as "Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average yearly count for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual. Average" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit. 7, easur nts Part II Page 13 of 14 a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow, averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded during the calendar month. b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge, 8. Types of Samples a. Composite Sample: These samples consist of grab samples collected at equal intervals and combined proportional to flow, a sample continuously collected proportionally to flow, or equal volumes taken at varying time intervals. If a composite sample is obtained from grab samples, the following requirements apply. The intervals between influent grab samples shall be no greater than hourly. Intervals between effluent grab samples shall be no greater than hourly except where the detention time of the wastewater in the facility is greater than 24 hours, in which case, the interval between grab samples shall be no greater in number of hours than the detention time in number of days; provided, however, in no case may the time between effluent grab samples be greater than six hours nor the number of grab samples less than four during any discharge period of 24 hours or less. b. Grab Sample; Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. 9. Calculation of Means a. Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values, b. 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 equivalent 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). c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows. Part II Page 14 of 14 10. Calendar Day A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling. 11. Hazardous Subst A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act. 12, Toxic Pollutant A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(1) of the Clean Water Act. with any applicable effluent gnaideli approved under Ejections 302( of the Clean Water Act, if the effluent gu: so issued or approved: 1. contains. different conditions or is otherw:ine effluent limitation in the permit; or PART III OTHER REQUIREMENTS Previous Per All previous State wetter quality permits. issued to this fa::tlity, whether for construction or operation or discharge, are hereby revoked by issuance of this permit.

North Carolina General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.1(c) requires that an application for permit renewal be filed at least 180 days prior to the expiration date- As of the date of this letter, the Division of Environmental Management had not received an application for renewal. If operation of a discharge or waste treatment facility is to occur after the permit's expiration date, or if continuation of the permit is desired, it must not be allowed to expire. A renewal request must be submitted no later than 180 days prior to the permit's expiration date. operation of the waste treatment works or continuation of a discharge after the expiration date would constitute a violation of NCGS 143-215.1 and could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $10,000 per day. If continuation of the permit is desired, failure to request renewal at least 180 days prior to expiration will result in a civil assessment of at least $250.00; larger penalties may be assessed depending upon the delinquency of the request. A renewal application shall consist of the following information: 1. A letter requesting the renewal. 2. The completed application form (copy attached), signed and submitted in triplicate, referenced in Title 15 of North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC) Subchapter 2H .0105(a). 3. A processing fee (see attached schedule) in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b). The application processing fee is based on the design or permitted flow, whichever is appropriate, listed in the first categories of facilities. 4. Primary industries listed in Appendix A of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 122 shall also submit a priority pollutant analysis in accordance with Part 122.21, 5. Facilities which have not been constructed within the last permit cycle and are therefore, considered "new" facilities, shall also submit an Engineering Alternatives Analysis, referenced in 15A NCAC Subchapter 2H .0103 and Subchapter 2B .0201(c). 6. If the facility covered by this permit contains some type of treatment works, a narrative description of the sludge management plan must be submitted with the application for the renewal. In addition to penalities referenced above, a permit renewal request received after the, expiration date will be considered as a new application and will require the higher application fee. 15A NCAC 2H .0105(b)(2) requires payment of an annual Administrative and Compliance Monitoring fee for most permitted facilities. You will be billed separately for that fee (if applicable), after your permit is approved. The letter requesting renewal, the completed Permit application, and appropriate fee should be sent to: Permits and Engineering Unit Division of Environmental Management Post Office Box 29535 Raleigh, North Carolina 27626-0535 The check should be made payable to the North Carolina Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources which may be abbreviated as DEHNR.

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, M3/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. MS Part I 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. g. (3) An influent or effluent portion collected continuously over a period of 24 hours at a rate proportional to the flow.

Minimum 7-Day, 10-Year discharge at site: 0.0 cfs c. River Basin and Sub -Basin No.: Yadkin, 03-07--13 Part II - DESCRIPTIO: ISTING TREATMENT FACILITIES Existing Facilities: The existing facilities at. Endy Elementary consist of a 5000'gpd septic tank, a dosing tank, and a surface sand filter. No chlorination is provided. Proposed Modifications: Extensive maintenance was conducted during the summer months at this facility in hopes that the facility would attain compliance. At this time no proposed construction is planned although chlorination may have to be added along with post aeration before the. Permit limitations can be met. Elimination of the single distribution line and splash plate on the existing sand filter and repiaciog with several distribution lines would allow more even spread of the wastewater, thereby, utilizing the entire sand filter area. Page Two Part III EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS Performance Evaluation: The most recent CEA reflected non-compliance with BOD5 and Fecal Coliform, (CEA dhted January 20, 1982). Most recent self -monitoring data indicate that this facility continues to have problems complying with its Permit limitations for Fecal Coliform. O & M Evaluation: The facility appeared in excellent shape. I.t was apparent that good 0 & M practices were being practiced. Recommendations and/or. Special Conditions: Endy Elementary School is currently under an. SOC containing secondary limitations, and. requires the school to comply with its NPDES Permit's final effluent limitations or cease discharge on or before September'1,, 1984. Unless additional treatment units are added, this facility may not be able. to comply with its final 'limitations. Since this facility discharges to a dry ditch, upstream monitoring is not necessary and should be deleted from the. Permit.. The wastewater from this facility is entirely domestic, therefore, influent monitoring, COD and Temperature analysis should also be deleted from the Permit since the results of such would not reflect on the system's efficiency. It is recommended that the NPDES Permit for this facility be renewed. ond 3 " Permit No. NC STATE OF NORTH CAROLINA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES & COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PERMIT To Discharge Wastewater Under The NATIONAL POLLUTANT DISCHARGE ELIMINATION SYSTEM In compliance with the provisions of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1, other lawful standards and regulations promulgated and adopted by the North Carolina.
