Dear Mr. Gleason:
I am responding to your Notice of Violation-Effluent Limitations letter dated April 28,
2005 which reported a violation in the Ammonia Nitrogen limitation p T
was a direct result of low temperatures causing a large portion of the ray/recirculation
system to ice over solid preventing adequate circulation. Please note that the sample
taken earlier in January and the first sample in February were 0.18 and 0.16 respectively.
This is a not a continuing problem, therefore I feel that no corrective action can be tak
in respect to equipment, operation or maintenance.

Dear Mr. Wood:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$535.04 ($450.00 civil penalty+ $85.04 enforcement costs) against the Stanly County Board of
Education.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the
discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by the Stanly County Board of Education for the
month of August 2004. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the
discharge limitations and monitoring requirements found in NPDES Permit No. NC0029432. The
violations are summarized in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Stanly County Board of
Education violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit No. NC0029432 and
North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in
Attachment A. A civil penalty may be assessed in accordance with the maximums established by
G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with
authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and
the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, D. Rex Gleason, Surface Water Protection
Regional Supervisor for the Mooresville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty
assessment against the Stanly County Board of Education:

$_ 450.00 TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$ 85.04 Enforcement costs.
$ 535.04 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.

Within thirty days of receipt of this notice,you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:
Point Source Branch
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for
such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five
factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the
penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting
whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements
contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a
stipulation that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and
submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors
shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the
remaining necessary remedial actions.

Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your
remission request. The response will provide details regarding case status,
directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information
that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director.
Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement
in support of your request for remission.
In order to request remission, you must complete and submit the enclosed
"Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty(30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also
requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission
Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Branch
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of
Administrative Hearings:
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you
must file a petition for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition
form from the Office of Administrative Hearings. You must file the petition with
the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty(30) days of receipt of this
notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of
Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative
Hearings accepts filings Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m.
and 5:00 p.m., except for official state holidays. The original and one(1) copy of
the petition must be filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings. The petition

Mr. Dan Oakley, General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Please indicate the case number (as found on page one of this letter) on the
petition.
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty(30) days of receipt of this letter,
as evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp(not a postmark), will result in this matter
being referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action.
Please be advised that additional penalties may be assessed for violations that occur after the
review period of this assessment. If the violations are of a continuing nature, not related to
operation and/or maintenance problems, and you anticipate remedial construction activities, then
you may wish to consider applying for a Special Order by Consent. If you have any questions
about this civil penalty assessment or a Special Order by Consent, please contact the Surface
Water Protection Section staff of the Mooresville Regional Office at 704/663-1699.

Subject: NPDES Permit No. NC0029432
Aquadale Elementary School WWTP
Stanly County,NC
Dear Mr. Williamson:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0029432 was issued on July 14, 2004 for
the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State from your facility. The purpose of this
letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and the liabilities in the event of failure to
comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. If you have not already done so, it is suggested
that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular importance are Pages 4.
Pages 4 sets forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your discharge.
Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section headed "Monitoring
Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types and sampling locations. Upon
commencement of your discharge (or operation), you must initiate the required monitoring. The
monitoring results must be entered on reporting forms furnished or approved by this Agency. If you
have not received these forms,they should be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the forms,please
contact this Office as quickly as possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting form
(DWQ Form MR-1), plus instructions for completing the form. It is imperative that all applicable
parts be completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee may be
required for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our Raleigh Office. It is
imperative that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent enforcement action or possible
revocation of your permit.
The remaining parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and special

conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s). The
conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance, bypasses.treatment
unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a certified wastewater treatment plant
operator if you are operating wastewater treatment facilities. Any changes in operation of
wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type of wastewater being treated or discharged,
expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by
this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the Permittee
to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina General Statutes. A civil
penalty of up to $25,000 per violation (and/or criminal penalties) may be assessed for such
violations. If you find at any time that you are unable to comply with the terms and conditions of
the Permit, you should contact this Office immediately. A Special Order by Consent (SOC) may be
necessary while pursuing action to obtain compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a five-year period. Permits are not
automatically renewed. Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later than 180 days
prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of your Permit. This date is set forth on
Page 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not automatically transferable. If you, as
the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you should request that the Division of Water Quality
rescind the Permit or request that DWQ reissue the Permit to another party, if necessary.
As mentioned previously,the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of your
NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in Mooresville if
you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing any assistance.

PART II
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
Section A. Definitions
2/Month
Samples are collected twice per month with at least ten calendar days between sampling events.
3/Week
Samples are collected three times per week on three separate calendar days.
Act or"the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act,also known as the Clean Water Act,as amended, 33 USC 1251,et. seq.
Annual Average
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system,which
is not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day
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.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 ml in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time
interval between grab samples, etc.) on a case-by-case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
Composite samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single,continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour
period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection,or
(3) Variable time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period
with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and
totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the
expected total daily flow at the treatment system,or
(4) Constant time/constant volume: a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24-hour period at
a constant time interval. This method may only be used in situations where effluent flow rates vary
less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20 minutes apart
during any 24-hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100 milliliters. Use of this method
requires prior approval by the Director.
Version 6/20/2003

NPDES Permit Requirements
Page 2'of 16
In accordance with (4) above,influentgrab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour.
Effluent grab samples shall not be collected more than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems
having a detention time of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at
intervals evenly spaced over the 24-hour period that are equal in number of hours to the detention time of the
system in number of days. However, the interval between effluent grab samples may not exceed six hours nor
the number of samples less than four during a 24-hour sampling period.
Continuous flow measurement
Flow monitoring that occurs without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge"is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. The "daily discharge" concentration comprises the mean
concentration for a 24-hour sampling period as either a composite sample concentration or the arithmetic mean of all
grab samples collected during that period. (40 CFR 122.3)
Daily Maximum
The highest"daily discharge"during the calendar month.
Daily Sampling
Parameters requiring daily sampling shall be sampled 5 out of every 7 days per week unless otherwise specified in the
permit. The Division expects that sampling shall be conducted on weekdays except where holidays or other
disruptions of normal operations prevent weekday sampling. If sampling is required for all seven days of the week
• for any permit parameter(s), that requirement will be so noted on the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Page(s).
DWQ or"the Division"
The Division of Water Quality,Department of Environment and Natural Resources.
EMC
The North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
Facility Closure
The cessation of wastewater treatment at a permitted facility,or the cessation of all activities that require coverage
under the NPDES. Completion of facility closure will allow this permit to be rescinded.
Geometric Mean
The Nth root of the product of the individual values where N = the number of individual values. For purposes of
calculating the geometric mean,values of"0" (or"< [detection level ") shall be considered = 1.
Grab Sample
Individual samples of at least 100 mi collected over a period of time not exceeding 15 minutes. Grab samples can be
collected manually. Grab samples must be representative of the discharge (or the receiving stream, for instream
samples).
Hazardous Substance
Any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
Instantaneous flow measurement
A measure of flow taken at the time of sampling, when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total
discharge.
Version 6/20/2003

NPDES Permit Requirements

Monthly Average (concentration limit)
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar month. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
•
Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
Quarterly Average (concentration limit)
The average of all samples taken over a calendar quarter.
Severe property damage
Substantial physical damage to property, damage to the treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable,
or substantial and permanent loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage excludes economic loss caused by delays in production.
Toxic Pollutant:
Any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(l) of the Clean Water Act.
Upset
An incident beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee causing unintentional and temporary noncompliance with
permit effluent limitations and/or monitoring requirements. An.upset does not include noncompliance caused by
operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive

LABORATORY NAME: Stanly County Schools
ADDRESS: 1000-4 North First Street
Albermarle, NC 28001
CERTIFICATE NO: #5068
DATE OF INSPECTION: 3/15/04
TYPE OF INSPECTION: Field Maintenance
EVALUATOR: David G. Livingston
LOCAL PERSON(S) CONTACTED: Bob Williamson and Reggie Burleson
I. INTRODUCTION:
This laboratory was inspected to verify its compliance with the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0800
for the analysis of environmental samples.
11. GENERAL COMMENTS:
The laboratory is spacious and well equipped. All facilities and equipment are well maintained.
Records are well kept and most data looked good. Some further quality control procedures need to
be implemented.
III. DEFICIENCIES, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS:
GENERAL
Note: Stanly County Schools is no longer required to report Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) and is in
the process of filling out an amendment form to drop certification for TRC.
(A) COMMENT: The laboratory log books were not initialed by the analyst.
REQUIREMENT: The analyst must initial all log book entries each day an entry is made.
DISSOLVED OXYGEN METER/pH METER
(B) COMMENT: The laboratory has not verified the automatic temperature compensation (ATC) of
the meter(s) within the last year.
REQUIREMENT: The temperature sensor in the meter(s) must be checked annually against an
NIST certified thermometer and the process documented, if the instrument is used for reporting
temperature results. It is recommended that the temperature sensor be calibrated annually even if
not being used to report temperature. (Other certified laboratories may provide assistance in
meeting this requirement.)
Note: The lab is not using the DO meter or the ph meter to report temperature.

Page 2
Stan)/County Schools
TEMPERATURE
(1) DEFICIENCY: The laboratory has not verified the thermometers against an NISI traceable
thermometer within the last year.
REQUIREMENT: Thermometers must be checked annually against an NISI certified thermometer
and the process documented, if the instrument is used for reporting temperature results. It is
recommended that the temperature sensor be calibrated annually even if not being used to report
temperature. (Other certified laboratories may provide assistance in meeting this requirement.)
RECOMMENDATION: It is strongly recommended that the laboratory not use a thermometer that
has a correction of more than 1°C against the NIST calibration. Thermometers with corrections of
more than 1°C can produce results that are not reliable on a day to day basis.
CONDUCTIVITY
(C) COMMENT: The laboratory is not recording the time sampled and the time analyzed for this
parameter.
REQUIREMENT: The laboratory must record the date and time collected and date and time of
analysis in the laboratory logbook.
(D) COMMENT: The lab uses one standard to check the instrument every analysis day.
REQUIREMENT: The lab must use at least two standards to bracket sample results. Recommend
purchasing a 1413 }imho standard because no samples were shown to be greater than 1413 pmho.
Note: A copy of the checklist is attached with this report as was requested during the inspection.
IV. PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION:
This consisted of comparing data with the values obtained on laboratory bench worksheets.
V. CONCLUSIONS:
Correcting the above cited comment and implementing the requirement will help this lab to produce
quality data and meet certification requirements. Please respond to the numbered deficiency
and the lettered comments.

Dear Permittee:
Your NPDES permit expires on February 29,2004. Federal(40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina(15A NCAC
2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal applications must be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current
permit. If you have already mailed your renewal application,you may disregard this notice.
To satisfy this requirement,your renewal package must be sent to the Division postmarked no later than September 2,

If any wastewater discharge will occur after February 29,2004,the current permit must be renewed. Discharge of
wastewater without a valid permit would violate North.Carolina General Statute 143-215.1;unpermitted discharges of wastewater
may result in assessment of civil penalties of up to$25,000 per day.
If all wastewater discharge has ceased at your facility and you wish to rescind this permit,contact Bob Sledge of the

Dear Mr. Wood:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount of
$435.04 ($250.00 civil penalty+ $85.04 enforcement costs) against the Stanly County Board of
Education.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the
discharge monitoring report (DMR) submitted by the Stanly County Board of Education for the
month of April 2003. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the discharge
limitations found in NPDES Permit No. NC0029432. The violations are summarized in
Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts,I conclude as a matter of law that the Stanly County Board of
Education violated the terms, conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit No.NC0029432 and
North Carolina General Statute (G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in
Attachment A. A civil penalty may be assessed in accordance with the maximums established by
G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law, and in accordance with
authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources and
the Director of the Division of Water Quality,I, D. Rex Gleason, Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Mooresville Region,hereby make the following civil penalty assessment against

$ 350.00 - TOTAL CIVIL PENALTY
$ 85.04 Enforcement costs.
$ 435.04 TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority;
and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources (do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:

Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
2. Submit a written request for remission including a detailed justification for
such request:
Please be aware that a request for remission is limited to consideration of the five
factors listed below as they may relate to the reasonableness of the amount of the
penalty assessed. Requesting remission is not the proper procedure for contesting
whether the violation(s) occurred or the accuracy of any of the factual statements
contained in the civil penalty assessment document. Because a remission request
forecloses the option of an administrative hearing, such a request must be
accompanied by a waiver of your right to an administrative hearing and a
stipulation that no factual or legal issues are in dispute. Please prepare a detailed
statement that establishes why you believe the civil penalty should be remitted, and
submit it to the Division of Water Quality at the address listed below. In
determining whether a remission request will be approved, the following factors
shall be considered:
(1) whether one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-
282.1(b) were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(2) whether the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage
resulting from the violation;
(3) whether the violation was inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(4) whether the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous
violations; or
(5) whether payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the
remaining necessary remedial actions.
Please note that all information presented in support of your request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review your evidence and inform you of his decision in the matter of your
remission request. The response will provide details regarding case status,
directions for payment, and provision for further appeal of the penalty to the
Environmental Management Commission's Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions
(Committee). Please be advised that the Committee cannot consider information
that was not part of the original remission request considered by the Director.
Therefore, it is very important that you prepare a complete and thorough statement
in support of your request for remission.

In order to request remission,you must complete and submit the enclosed
"Waiver of Right to an Administrative Hearing and Stipulation of Facts" form
within thirty (30) days of receipt of this notice. The Division of Water Quality also
requests that you complete and submit the enclosed "Justification for Remission
Request." Both forms should be submitted to the following address:
Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
OR
3. File a petition for an administrative hearing with the Office of
Administrative Hearings:
If you wish to contest any statement in the attached assessment document you
must file a petition for an administrative hearing. You may obtain the petition
form from the Office of Administrative Hearings. You must file the petition with
. the Office of Administrative Hearings within thirty(30) days of receipt of this
notice. A petition is considered filed when it is received in the Office of
Administrative Hearings during normal office hours. The Office of Administrative

Please indicate the case number (as found on page one of this letter) on the
petition.

Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty (30) days of receipt of this letter,
as evidenced by an internal date/time received stamp (not a postmark), will result in this matter
being referred to the Attorney General's Office for collection of the penalty through a civil action.
Please be advised that additional penalties may be assessed for violations that occur after the
review period of this assessment. If the violations are of a continuing nature, not related to
operation and/or maintenance problems, and you anticipate remedial construction activities, then
you may wish to consider applying for a Special Order by Consent. If you have any questions

Stanly County
Dear Mr. Wood:
This letter transmits a Notice of Violation and assessment of civil penalty in the amount
of $1335.45 ($1250.00 civil penalty+ $85.45 enforcement costs) against the Stanly County
Board of Education.
This assessment is based upon the following facts: A review has been conducted of the
discharge monitoring report(DMR) submitted by the Stanly County Board of Education for the
month of August 2002. This review has shown the subject facility to be in violation of the
discharge limitations found in NPDES Permit No. NC0029432. The violations are summarized
in Attachment A to this letter.
Based upon the above facts, I conclude as a matter of law that the Stanly County Board
of Education violated the terms,conditions or requirements of NPDES Permit No. NC0029432
and North Carolina General Statute(G.S.) 143-215.1(a)(6) in the manner and extent shown in
Attachment A. A civil penalty may be assessed in accordance with the maximums established
by G.S. 143-215.6A(a)(2).
Based upon the above findings of fact and conclusions of law,and in accordance with
authority provided by the Secretary of the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
and the Director of the Division of Water Quality, I, D. Rex Gleason, Water Quality Regional
Supervisor for the Mooresville Region, hereby make the following civil penalty assessment

$ 85.45 Enforcement costs.
$ / TOTAL AMOUNT DUE
Pursuant to G.S. 143-215.6A(c), in determining the amount of the penalty I have taken
into account the Findings of Fact and Conclusions of Law and the factors set forth at G.S. 143B-
282.1(b), which are:
(1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public
health, or to private property resulting from the violations;
(2) The duration and gravity of the violations;
(3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality;
(4) The cost of rectifying the damage;
(5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance;
(6) Whether the violations were committed willfully or intentionally;
(7) The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs
over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory
authority; and
(8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.
Within thirty days of receipt of this notice, you must do one of the following:
1. Submit payment of the penalty:
Payment should be made directly to the order of the Department of Environment
and Natural Resources(do not include waiver form). Payment of the penalty will
not foreclose further enforcement action for any continuing or new violation(s).
Please submit payment to the attention of:

Point Source Compliance/Enforcement Unit
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
2. Submit a written request for remission or mitigation including a detailed
justification for such request:
A request for remission or mitigation is limited to consideration of the
reasonableness of the amount of the penalty and is not the proper procedure for
contesting the accuracy of any of the statements contained in the assessment
letter. Because a remission request forecloses the option of an administrative
hearing, such a request must be accompanied by a waiver of your right to an
administrative hearing and a stipulation that there are no factual or legal issues in
dispute. You must execute and return to this office the attached waiver and
stipulation form and a detailed statement which you believe establishes whether:
(a) one or more of the civil penalty assessment factors in G.S. 143B-282.1(b)
were wrongfully applied to the detriment of the petitioner;
(b) the violator promptly abated continuing environmental damage resulting
from the violations;
(c) the violations were inadvertent or a result of an accident;
(d) the violator had been assessed civil penalties for any previous violation;
(e) payment of the civil penalty will prevent payment for the remaining
necessary remedial actions.
Please submit this information to the attention of:
Ms. Coleen Sullins
Water Quality Section Chief
Division of Water Quality
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh,North Carolina 27699-1617
Please note that all information presented in support of a request for remission
must be submitted in writing. The Director of the Division of Water Quality will
review the information during a bimonthly enforcement conference and inform
you of his decision in the matter of the remission request. His response will
provide details regarding case status, directions for payment and provision for
further appeal of the penalty to the Environmental Management Commission's
Committee on Civil Penalty Remissions. Please be advised that the Committee
cannot consider information that was not part of the original remission request
considered by the Director and therefore, it is very important that you prepare a
complete and thorough statement in support of your request for remission.
OR

3. Submit a written request for an administrative hearing:
If you wish to contest any statement in this assessment letter, you must request an
administrative hearing. This request must be in the form of a written petition to
the Office of Administrative Hearings and must conform to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes. You must:
File your original petition with the
Office of Administrative Hearings
6714 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714
and
Mail or hand-deliver a copy of the petition to
Mr. Dan Oakley, General Counsel
Department of Environment and Natural Resources
1601 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1601
Failure to exercise one of the options above within thirty days, as evidenced by a date
stamp(not a postmark) indicating when we received your response, will result in this matter
being referred to the Attorney General's Office with a request to initiate a civil action to collect
the penalty.
Please be advised that any continuing violation(s) may be the subject of a new
enforcement action, including an additional penalty. If you have any questions about this civil
penalty assessment, please contact the Water Quality Section staff of the Mooresville Regional
Office at 704/663-1699.

Expansion Request
Aquadale Elementary School
Starkly County
Dear Mr. Wood:
This Ietter is offered in response to Stanly County Board of Education's request for expansion of
the Aquadale Elementary School NPDES permit. Based on prior conversations and correspondence from
Division of Environmental Management staff, you were informed that the Division cannot allow the
expansion of wastewater flow at Aquadale Elementary School, unless alternatives to discharge are found.
Aquadale Elementary School currently discharges to a zero 7Q10s, zero 30Q2 flow stream. As
required by 15A NCAC 2B .0206(d)(2), no new or expanded discharges are allowed into zero flow
streams. Aquadale Elementary School will be required to continue at the permitted flow of 3000 gpd or
find alternatives to discharge.
The Stanly County Board of Education has not requested the withdrawal of its modification
request, therefore, the Division has proceeded with denial of the request. The denial will be publicly
noticed in the regional paper by January 17, 1996.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Susan A. Wilson,
telephone number [phone] Ext. 555.
Sincerely, (
A. Preston Howard,

Project No. E-SRG-C-01-0120
Dear Mr. Efrid:
This letter acknowledges that plans and specifications necessary to comply with the State
Revolving Grant funding requirements were received on or before June 1, 1999. Your project
has been assigned to Cecil G. Madden, Jr, P.E. of the Construction Grants & Loans Section, and
will be reviewed for technical adequacy and conformance to State laws, regulations, design
requirements, and good, sound engineering principles. You will be advised of any
recommendations, comments or other matters to be resolved, should this be necessary prior to
final approval.
A more detailed review is forthcoming. However, in an effort to expedite the review
process and to make funding available as soon as possible, we offer the following preliminary
review comments:
1. Advise if the scope of work has changed from the scope outlined in the PER which was
approved on July 2, 1999 or as shown on the plans and specifications presented on June
1, 1999.
2. Provide electrical drawings.
3. Provide structural drawings.
4. Provide site specific sedimentation and erosion control measures.
5. Provide site plans for each pump station with topographic detail and identify horizontal
and vertical control measures.

provided. Structures constructed after the date of the aerial photograph should be added.
Change orders due to the lack of field verification will not likely be determined eligible
for funding.
8. Bid forms were omitted from the review copy. The quantities shown in the bid forms
should reflect the actual work shown on the plan sheets and should not be significantly
different than the quantities shown in the approved PER.
9. The specifications should identify two other manufacturers who can comply with the
pump station performance requirements.
10. The five (5)year warranty for the pump station is not eligible. The additional cost for a
warranty in excess of one (1) year should be broken out in the bids or the five (5) year
warranty should be removed from the project.
11. Provide a completed non-discharge permit application with the $400 application fee.
Use the attached application form.
12. Provide an updated cost estimate.
13. Provide a copy of the Sedimentation and Erosion Control Permit from the Division of
Land Quality or a letter from them stating that no permit is required for this project.
14. For all stream crossings provide a copy of the 401 Water Quality Certification, and Army
Corps of Engineer's 404 Permit or provide a letter from the Corps stating that none is
required for this project.
15. For aerial crossings of navigable waters provide a copy of the Section 10 Permit or a
letter from the Corps stating that none is required for this project.
16. The contract documents that we review should include the following items:
a. Bid
b. Bid Bond
c. Agreement
d. Payment Bond
e. Performance Bond
f. Power of Attorney for Bonds
g. Notice to Proceed
h. Change Order Form

Dear Samar:
The purpose of this letter is to request your advice and consideration of a situation at Ridgecrest Elementary School located in
western Stanly County. Following is information concerning the school and the improvements we desire to make in the next 12-16
months:
♦ The school population is approximately 350 students and 20 staff members
• The school is not currently served by public water or sewer lo
• Water is from well and purchased bottled water
• The sewer system is a septic tank with a low-pressure drain field
• The county has passed a bond referendum recently that includes funds for construction of public water and sewer to •�I v
Ridgecrest School. (Construction has not begun and we estimate the completion to be not later than December 2001), C
• The same bond referendum included funds to construct an addition to Ridgecrest School to relieve overcrowding. We plan to
begin construction by December 2000 and complete the building by December 2001. (Concurrent with the completion of
public water/sewer).
The problem is that the current low-pressure sewer drain field would also be the location of the new building. We have few
alternatives with the building location as Ridgecrest is a small campus.
The only possible solution to the sewer problem during construction would be to pump and haul from the current septic tank the
wastewater generated each day. We estimate that to be approximately 2960 gallons per day. (370 x 8 gallons per person). We
realize the economic impact and are considering that factor.
The real question is authorization to pump and haul wastewater on a daily basis while construction of the new building and
water/sewer is underway.
We would appreciate the consideration of this question and your advice as soon as possible as we need to proceed with the design.
Thank you for your assistance.

Dear Mr. Williamson:
Our records indicate that NPDES Permit No. NC0029432 was issued on April 26,
2000 for the discharge of wastewater to the surface waters of the State from your facility.
The purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance of the Permit and the liabilities
in the event of failure to comply with the terms and conditions of the Permit. If you have
not already done so, it is suggested that you thoroughly read the Permit. Of particular
importance are Pages 4 and 5 .
Pages 4 and 5 set forth the effluent limitations and monitoring requirements for your
discharge. Your discharge must not exceed any of the limitations set forth. The section
headed "Monitoring Requirements" describes the measurement frequencies, sample types
and sampling locations. Upon commencement of your discharge (or operation), you must
initiate the required monitoring. The monitoring results must be entered on reporting forms
furnished or approved by this Agency. If you have not received these forms, they should
be arriving shortly. If you fail to receive the forms, please contact this Office as quickly as
possible. I have enclosed a sample of the "Effluent" reporting form (DEM Form MR-1),
plus instructions for completing the form. It is imperative that all applicable parts be
completed, and the original and one copy be submitted as required.
Please be advised that an annual administering and compliance monitoring fee may
be required for your facility. You will soon be receiving a statement from our Raleigh
Office. It is imperative that the fee be paid in a timely manner so as to prevent enforcement
action or possible revocation of your permit.
The remaining parts of the Permit set forth definitions, general conditions and special
conditions applicable to the operation of wastewater treatment facilities and/or discharge(s).
The conditions include special reporting requirements in the event of noncompliance,
bypasses, treatment unit/process failures, etc. Also addressed are requirements for a
certified wastewater treatment plant operator if you are operating wastewater treatment

facilities. Any changes in operation of wastewater treatment facilities, quantity and type of
wastewater being treated or discharged, expansions and/or upgrading of wastewater
treatment facilities must be permitted or approved by this Agency.
Failure to comply with the terms and conditions of an NPDES Permit subjects the
Permittee to enforcement action pursuant to Section 143-215.6 of the North Carolina
General Statutes. A civil penalty of up to $25,000 per violation (and/or criminal penalties)
may be assessed for such violations. If you find at any time that you are unable to comply
with the terms and conditions of the Permit, you should contact this Office immediately. A
Special Order by Consent (SOC) may be necessary while pursuing action to obtain
compliance.
As a final note, an NPDES Permit is normally issued for a five-year period. Permits
are not automatically renewed. Renewal requests must be submitted to this Agency no later
than 180 days prior to expiration. Please make note of the expiration date of your Permit.
This date is set forth on Page 1 of the Permit. Also note that NPDES Permits are not
automatically transferable. If you, as the Permittee, cease to need this Permit, then you
should request that the Division of Water Quality rescind the Permit or request that DWQ
reissue the Permit to another party, if necessary.
As mentioned previously,the purpose of this letter is to advise you of the importance
of your NPDES Permit. Please read the Permit and contact this Office at 704/663-1699 in
Mooresville if you have any questions or need clarification. We look forward to providing
any assistance.

Subject: NPDES Permit Issuance
Permit No. NC0029432
Aquadale Elementary School
Stanly County
Dear Mr. Williamson:
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly. we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement between
North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated May 9, 1994 (or as subsequently
amended.)
The following modification has been made to the permit:
The requirement for instream monitorine for conductivity has been deleted. Upstream and
downstream monitoring for temperature, dissolved oxygen and fecal coliform will remain a part of the
permit. Because of the school's discharge to an UT Long Branch,a zero flow stream, the water quality
impact of these parameters remains a concern.
The Stanly County Schools (SCS) should be aware that daily monitoring reports indicate that
the wasteflow of Aquadale Elementary School averaged 0.0025 MGD from December 1998 to .
November 1999. This is approximately 84% of the design capacity of 0.003 MGD. it may be beneficial
for the SCS to start to evaluate alternatives should the wasteflow approach its capacity and the school �>
need to expand. Current state regulations do not allow the additional discharge of oxygen consuming
waste in streams where both the 7Q10 and 30Q2 flows are estimated to be zero.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you,you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days
following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written petition. conforming to Chapter
150E of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail
Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such a demand is made, this permit shall be
final and binding.

Please notice that this permit is not transferable. Part II, E.4. addresses the requirements to be
followed in case of change in ownership or control of this discharge. This permit does not affect the legal
requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water Quality or permits
required by the Division of Land Resources, Coastal Area Management Act, or any other Federal or Local
governmental permits may be required.

PART I1
STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Water Quality.
2. DEM or "the Division"
Means the Division of Water Quality, Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources.
3. EMC
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
1251,et. seq.
5. Mass/Day 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 sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled 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 "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 sampled 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 is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from 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 sampled
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 2 of 14
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled 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" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
b. 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 I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". 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.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount of
dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged over a
calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the sample is
considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is identified as "daily
average" in the text of Part I.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through March,
April through June,July through September,and October through December.

Part II

7. Other Measurements
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.
c. A "continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which occurs
continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow shall be
monitored continually except for the infrequent times when there may be no flow or for
infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of discharge
and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of individual sample
collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the sampling
point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow
recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample collection fixed at
no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(3)a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time of
greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time intervals
evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the detention time
of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval between effluent
grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less than four (4) during a
24 hour sampling period.
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. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
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.

3. Need to Halt or Reduce not a Defense
It shall not be a defense for a permittee in an enforcement action that it would have been necessary
to halt or reduce the permitted activity in order to maintain compliance with the condition of this
permit.
4. Bypassing of Treatment Facilities
a. Definitions
(1) 'Bypass" means the known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment
facility including the collection system, which is not a designed or established or operating
mode for the facility.
(2) "Severe property damage" means substantial physical damage to property, damage to the
treatment facilities which causes them to become inoperable, or substantial and permanent
loss of natural resources which can reasonably be expected to occur in the absence of a
bypass. Severe property damage does not mean economic loss caused by delays in
production.
b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to be
exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation. These
bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permittee knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it shall
submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass; including an
evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action against
a permittee for bypass,unless:
(A) Bypass was unavoidable to prevent loss of life, personal injury or severe property
damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary treatment
facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal periods of
equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup equipment should
have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment to prevent a bypass
which occurred during normal periods of equipment downtime or preventive maintenance;
and
(C)The permittee submitted notices as required under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (I) of this section.

Part II
Page 9 of 14
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors beyond the
reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance to the extent
caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities, inadequate treatment
facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with such
technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review.
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed,contemporaneous operating logs,or other relevant evidence that;
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittee submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this permit.
(4) The permittee complied with any remedial measures required under Part II, B. 2. of this
permit.
d. Burden of proof.
In any enforcement proceeding the permittee seeking to establish the occurrence of an upset has
the burden of proof.
6. Removed Substances
Solids, sludges, filter backwash, or other pollutants removed in the course of treatment or control of
wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in a manner such
as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State or navigable
waters of the United States. The permittee shall comply with all existing federal regulations
governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503,any permit issued
by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be reopened and
modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40 CFR Part 503. The
permittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Part 503 Standards for the Use and Disposal of
Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the regulation, even if the permit
is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee shall notify the Permit Issuing
Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal practices.
7. Power Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM Regulation,
Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability, to prevent the
discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power failures either by
means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of inadequately treated effluent.

SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS
1. Representative Sampling
Samples collected and measurements taken, as required herein, shall be characteristic of the
volume and nature of the permitted discharge. Samples collected at a frequency less than daily
shall be taken on a day and time that is characteristic of the discharge over the entire period
which the sample represents. All samples shall be taken at the monitoring points specified in this
permit and, unless otherwise specified, before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other
wastestream, body of water, or substance. Monitoring points shall not be changed without
notification to and the approval of the Permit Issuing Authority.
2. Reporting
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
reported on a monthly Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form (DEM No. MR 1, l.I, 2, 3) or
alternative forms approved by the Director, DEM, postmarked no later than the 30th day
following the completed reporting period.
The first DMR is due on the last day of the month following the issuance of the permit or in the case
of a new facility, on the last day of the month following the commencement of discharge.
Duplicate signed copies of these, and all other reports required herein, shall be submitted to the
following address:

3. Flow Measurements
Appropriate flow measurement devices and methods consistent with accepted scientific practices
shall be selected and used to ensure the accuracy and reliability of measurements of the volume of
monitored discharges. The devices shall be installed, calibrated and maintained to ensure that the
accuracy of the measurements are consistent with the accepted capability of that type of device.
Devices selected shall be capable of measuring flows with a maximum deviation of less than + 10%
from the true discharge rates throughout the range of expected discharge volumes. Once-through
condenser cooling water flow which is monitored by pump logs,or pump hour meters as specified in
Part I of this permit and based on the manufacturer's pump curves shall not be subject to this
requirement.
4. Test Procedures
Test procedures for the analysis of pollutants shall conform to the EMC regulations published
pursuant to NCGS 143-215.63 et. seq, the Water and Air Quality Reporting Acts, and to regulations
published pursuant to Section 304(g), 33 USC 1314, of the Federal Water Pollution Control Act, as
Amended, and Regulation 40 CFR 136; or in the case of sludge use or disposal, approved under 40
CFR 136, unless otherwise specified in 40 CFR 503, unless other test procedures have been specified
in this permit.
To meet the intent of the monitoring required by this permit, all test procedures must produce
minimum detection and reporting levels that are below the permit discharge requirements and all
data generated must be reported down to the minimum detection or lower reporting level of the
procedure. If no approved methods are determined capable of achieving minimum detection and

Part 11

reporting levels below permit discharge requirements, then the most sensitive (method with the
lowest possible detection and reporting level) approved method must be used.
5. Penalties for Tampering
The Clean Water Act provides that any person who falsifies, tampers with, or knowingly renders
inaccurate, any monitoring device or method required to be maintained under this permit shall,
upon conviction,be punished by a fine of not more than$10,000 per violation,or by imprisonment for
not more than two years per violation, or by both. If a conviction of a person is for a violation
committed after a first conviction of such person under this paragraph, punishment is a fine of not
more than$20,000 per day of violation,or by imprisonment of not more than 4 years,or both.
6. Records Retention
Except for records of monitoring information required by this permit related to the permittee's
sewage sludge use and disposal activities, which shall be retained for a period of at least five
years (or longer as required by 40 CFR 503), the permittee shall retain records of all monitoring

SECTION 1 — INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background
Stanly County is experiencing water and wastewater deficiencies at four schools in the
system. The four schools are Aquadale, Endy, Millingport, and Ridgecrest. Millingport and
Ridgecrest face serious water supply issues and all four schools have wastewater treatment
and disposal systems which are not in compliance with requirements of the NC Division of
Water Quality criteria.
It is contemplated by Stanly County that funding assistance to plan and construct the Water
and Sewer Improvements will come through a high unit cost grant administered by the NC
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR)from funds authorized
through the NC Clean Water and Natural Gas Critical Needs Bond of Act 1998. Thus, the
professional engineering services required by the Owner must comply with applicable rules
and regulations of NCDENR, including the Divisions of Environmental Health and Water
Quality. Stanly County has therefore retained McKim & Creed to prepare this engineering
study and Environmental Assessment to evaluate the wastewater issues and propose a
program of improvements.
1.2 Scope of Services
The scope of services completed by McKim & Creed on the Wastewater Improvements
project include the following:
A. Prepare a 201 Facilities Plan Amendment covering the proposed project. Work will
consist of the following:
1. Correspond with NC Division of Water Quality (NCDWQ) to obtain current
requirements for preparation of the 201 Facilities Plan Amendment
2. Review available background information on the proposed project and
wastewater systems serving each school site.
3. Prepare flow projections for each of the school service areas providing
average day and maximum hydraulic design criteria for a 20-year planning
period.
4. Contact the City of Albemarle and Towns of Norwood and Oakboro
regarding available sewer treatment service.
5. Prepare a basis of design for proposed improvements, including collection
sewers, pump stations, force mains, and connections to municipal systems.
Prepare an implementation schedule for these improvements.
6. Prepare estimates of probable cost for all improvements.
7. Provide a user charge analysis.

DRAFT
8. Prepare draft 201 Amendment document and submit to Owner and the
NCDWQ for preliminary review and comment.
9. Based on input from the Owner and the NCDWQ, prepare a final draft 201
Facilities Plan Amendment and submit this document for publication and
comment.
10. Organize and conduct a public hearing into the Facilities Plan Amendment.
11. Incorporate comments from the public hearing into the Facilities Plan
Amendment and submit final copies to the Owner and NCDWQ.
12. Prepare funding requests for the wastewater improvements and submit them
to NCDWQ.
B. Environmental Assessment Documents. Work will include the following specific
tasks:
1. Prepare an Environmental Assessment document in accordance with the NC
Environmental Policy Act.

SECTION 2 -- EXISTING FACILITIES
2.1 Introduction
The study area includes four schools in Stanly County. The schools are Aquadale, Endy,
Millingport, and Ridgecrest. This section describes the existing facilities and deficiencies
that exist at each school.
Information on the conditions of the facilities at each of the schools was summarized in a
memorandum from the Stanly County School System to Mr. John Whitehurst, County
Manager. A copy of this memorandum is in Appendix A.
2.2 Existing Facilities
Four schools in the Stanly County system have serious deficiencies with sewer facilities.
The locations of these schools are shown on Figure 1. Wastewater facilities at each school
are described below:
A. Aquadale School, located on NC 138 in Norwood, is served by a municipal water
system. Wastewater treatment consists of a septic tank with a recirculating sand
filter prior to discharge to a "wet-weather" stream. The wastewater system is
operating in excess of its NPDES permit for flow. In 1997-1998, over $57,000 was
spent on modifications, maintenance, analysis, and fines for flow violations. The
school is unable to expand because of the wastewater system.
B. Endy School, located off NC 24/27 west of Albemarle, is served by the County
water system. The wastewater system consists of a septic tank and sand filter with
low pressure drain field. The system is currently operating at a flow nearly 50%
greater than the approved design capacity. The sand filter and pumping system are
thought to be within the proposed right-of-way for the NC 24/27 widening. This
school can not be expanded based on wastewater treatment limitations.
C. Millingport School, located on NC 73 west of Albemarle, has a well water supply
and a septic tank for waste disposal. The wastewater system consists of a septic tank
with a low pressure drain field constructed on the school's ball field. The system
does not meet school needs during wet weather, and no room is available for
expansion or replacement of the drain field.
D. Ridgecrest School, located on Millingport Road in Stanfield, NC, is served by a
wastewater system consisting of a septic tank and low pressure piping system for
effluent disposal. The septic tank must be pumped quarterly, and is currently
receiving flow above design limits. No land is available for expansion of the
system.
In conclusion, wastewater treatment and/or disposal facilities are inadequate at all four
schools, and prevent any of these schools from expanding.

DRAFT
SECTION 3 — SERVICE AREA, POPULATION, AND WASTE FLOWS
3.1 Service Areas
The service area at each of the four schools includes residences, businesses, churches, and
other potential users in the vicinity of each of the schools. Proposed sewer service areas
were defined by considering the topography adjacent to the schools, and including
potential areas which would be tributory to facilities proposed for each school.
3.2 Flow Projections
Wastewater flow projections for each of the schools and surrounding areas were developed
for the study. Sewer service areas were defined at each of the schools based on topography
and the existing residences, businesses, and institutional customers (churches, VFD's, etc.)
that could be served by gravity at the proposed pump station sites.
Flow projections were based on the following:
A. Schools - for each school a unit flow of 15 gal/student/day was used with current
and future school enrollments. The flow was adjusted for a 24-hour day and a
peaking factor was applied.
B. Residential - wastewater flow for residential users was calculated at a unit flow rate
of 250 gallons per day for each user.
C. Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) - each VFD was treated as a residential user with a
unit flow of 250 gallons per day for each VFD.
D. Gas Stations - the unit flow rate for each gas station was calculated using 250
gallons per day for each urinal.
E. Churches - the unit flow rate for each church was calculated using a daily rate of 5
gallons per seat.
F. Restaurant - the unit flow rate was calculated using a daily rate of 40 gallons per 15
square feet of dining area
G. Auto Part and Body Shop, Royster Clark Seeding, and Stanly Fixture - the unit flow
rate for each was calculated using a daily rate of 25 gallons per employee.
Projections of flow for 10 and 20 year periods were determined using current growth rates.
These projections are shown in Appendix B and summarized in the Table below.

Millingport 13,645 24 17,750 31
Ridgecrest 10,250 18 16,950 29
As shown, projected flows, including service areas adjacent to the schools are expected to
range from 18 gpm to 24 gpm initially, increasing to between 29 and 31 gpm in twenty
years.

DRAFT
SECTION.4 —WASTEWATER SYSTEM ALTERNATIVES
4.1 Introduction
Wastewater treatment/disposal for the Stanly County schools is potentially available through
the City of Albemarle and the Towns of Norwood and Oakboro. All alternatives evaluated
for providing for the wastewater needs of the schools involved transporting waste flows to
one of these locations for treatment and disposal.
Gravity sewers, pump stations, and force mains required to collect and transport
wastewaters were evaluated to define improvements to meet the 20-year needs. The
purpose of the Stanly County project is to correct existing deficiencies at four schools in the
system and to provide capacity to serve the areas adjacent to the school sites.
4.2 Design Criteria
Development of alternatives for the wastewater facilities to serve the Stanly County system
are based on the following design criteria.
A. Gravity Lines will be 8 inches or larger if required.
B. Pumping stations and force mains are based on the following design criteria.
All stations will use submersible wet pit pumps
1. Screening will consist of manual basket type screens installed in the
wetwells, or manual screens installed in manholes immediately upstream
from the pump station.
2. Preliminary hydraulic analysis indicates that two pumps will be provided at
each station, with one pump serving as back-up.
3. All pump stations are sized to handle a peak flow of 2.5 times average flow.
4. Onsite standby power is anticipated for each pump station. Telemetry
consisting of a minimum of a phone dialer will be provided at each station
to indicate trouble alarms, loss of power, high wetwell, or intruder alarms.
Force mains will be sized to minimize the friction loss per foot of pipe while
maintaining a minimum scouring velocity of 2 feet per second.
These design criteria will allow for capacity for flows beyond the 20 year planning period
and provide a factor of safety for changes in growth rate.
4.3 Alternatives-Transmission System
Proposed facilities at two school sites, Endy and Ridgecrest, involve pumping to the City of
Albemarle and Town of Oakboro, respectively, for treatment and disposal. Collection lines
are proposed for the service areas along NC 24/24 and near Ridgecrest School.

DRAFT
Collection and transmission alternatives were investigated at two schools. Three
alternatives for Aquadale school were explored. Likewise, three alternatives for Millingport
were explored.
A. Aquadale Service Area
1. Alternative Al would transport the flow from the Aquadale area to the
Albemarle system.
2. Alternative A2 would transport the flow from the Aquadale area to the
Norwood system near South Stanly High.
3. Alternative A3 would transport the flow from the Aquadale area to the
Oakboro system.
B. Millingport Service Area
1. Alternative M1 would transport the flow from the Millingport area to the
Albemarle system across City Lake at NC 73.
2. Alternative M2 would transport the flow from the Millingport areas to the
North Stanly Sewer system, and ultimately to Albemarle's system.
3. Alternative M3 would transport the flow from the Millingport area to the
Ridgecrest system. Flow would then be pumped to Oakboro for treatment
and disposal.
For the pump station locations described above, the gravity lines, pump stations, and force
mains associated with each alternative were defined using the sizing criteria in Section 4.2.
Figures 2 through 5 present the major components of each alternative.
4.4 Cost Estimates- Transmission System
Cost estimates were prepared for Endy and Ridgecrest, and for each of the alternatives for
Aquadale and Millingport. Project costs were prepared using bid calculations from previous
projects. The costs are based on 1998 prices and include a 20°/° project contingency and
allowances for engineering, administration and legal costs. It is anticipated that a large
number of construction projects will be funded by the NC Clean Water and Natural Gas
Critical Needs Bond Act of 1998. As a result, contractors will be busy and construction
costs will likely increase due to a lower level competitiveness for projects. As a result, we
have also included a 25% allowance for projected construction cost increases.
A summary of the capital costs are presented below. Detailed cost estimates for each
alternative are presented in Appendix C.

DRAFT
Table 4.1
Estimated Project Cost
School: Cost:
Endy $ 991,000
Ridgecrest $1,071,000

A3 $ 909,000
Millingport
M 1 $1,280,000
M2 $1,405,000
M3 $1,544,000
As shown, the project costs for Aquadale range from $845,000 to $1,349,000 and for
Millingport from $1,280,000 to $1,544,000. Selection of the recommended alternative for
these schools will be based on both construction and operations and maintenance, as
outlined in Section 5.

DRAFT
SECTION 5 — PRESENT WORTH ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
5.1 Introduction
Alternatives for Aquadale and Millingport were evaluated using Total Project Costs and
Total Present Worth. The Total Project Cost includes allowances for construction costs and
engineering, and technical services for all pipelines and pump stations required to meet the
20-year needs of the study area. The Total Present Worth includes capital costs, 0 & M
costs, and salvage values for the 20-year project period.
In accordance with the requirements of the State Revolving Fund (SRF), Total Present Worth
is the means used to evaluate the recommended alternative.
5.2 Present Worth Analysis
The Present Worth Analysis (PW) compares alternatives on the basis of present worth using
the following assumptions:
A. A discount rate of 0e D/0 was used.
B. All piping has an expected 50 year life, therefore the salvage value at the end of 20
years is 6013/0 of the original cost of the piping.
C. All other items not including contingency, engineering, construction, or land fees
will have a salvage value at the end of 20 years of 33% the original cost.
D. The annual operational and maintenance costs were based on the first year of
projected annual costs
Detailed annual operations and maintenance estimates were prepared for each alternative.
The Total Present Worth is the sum of the present worth of capital costs and 0 & M costs,
minus the present worth of the salvage value. The 20 year debt service cost of 4.5% is used
in the annual operation and maintenance costs.
Table 5.1 presents the results of the Present Worth Analysis. Detailed Present Worth
Calculations are included in Appendix D.

From the data, the total present worth ranged from $1,634,288 to $2,526,079 for Aquadale
and from $2,409,908 to $2,873,610 for Millingport. The recommended alternative for
Aquadale involves pumping to Norwood. The recommended alternative for Millingport is
to pump to Albemarle along NC 73.

• DRAFT
SECTION.6— PROJECT DESCRIPTION
6.1 Introduction
The recommended alternatives were selected based on evaluation of capital costs and
present worth calculations.
6.2 Recommended Project
Meeting the wastewater needs at each school will require construction of a pumping station
and force main from each school to the nearest acceptable municipal wastewater treatment
system. The pumping stations should be sized to meet the projected future needs at each
school. Each pump station would use submersible pumps, and include a standby generator.
Each site would require a telemetry system to alert the County of possible problems.
Operations and maintenance could be provided by the County's public utilities staff, or
contracted to the municipal systems into which each station would discharge.
Each station will require the construction of a 6" discharge force main.
A. Aquadale school requires a pump station with a rating of 175 gallons per minute
(gpm) with a total dynamic head (TDH) of approximately 124 feet. The pumps will
be equipped with 10 Hp motors. Approximately 19,200 feet of 6" force main will
be required to connect to the Norwood system near South Stanly High School. In
addition, approximately 2,100 feet of 8" gravity line would be included in the
project which could provide service to 17 possible users.
B. Endy school will require a pump station with a rating of 175 gpm and TDH of
approximately 123 feet. The pumps will be equipped with 10 Hp motors.
Approximately 11,600 feet of 6" force main will be required along NC 24/27 to the
5tanly County Agri-Civic Center line, and discharge into Albemarle's system. In
addition, approximatley 4,500 feet of 8" gravity line would be included in the
project which could provide service to 23 possible users.
C. Millingport school will require a pump station with a rating of 175 gpm and TDH of
86 feet. The pump station will require a 7.5 Hp motor. It will involve 20,000 feet
of 6" force main along NC 73 to connect to the Albemarle collection system. Also,
5,900 feet of 8" gravity line would be included in the project which could provide
service for 26 possible users.
D. Ridgecrest school will require a pump station with a rating of 175 gpm and TDH of
71 feet. The pump station will require a 5 Hp motor. It will involve 21,500 feet of
6" force main connecting to an existing 8" force main at Red Cross, which
discharges into the Oakboro system. Also, 3,500 feet of 8" gravity line would be
included in the project which could provide service for 21 users.
6.3 Project Cost
The estimated project costs associated with each school service area are shown in Appendix
C and Table 6.1, below.

• • DRAFT
Table 6.1
Project Cost Estimates
Project Costs
Aquadale $ 845,000
Endy $ 991,000
Millingport $1,280,000
Ridgecrest $1,071,000
These costs include a 20% contingency and 15% for engineering and administration. A
25% increase in the total construction cost was added to account for projected increases in
construction costs due to the abundance of work and the limited number of contractors
available.
6.4 Project Financing
A portion of the funds authorized through the NC Clean Water and Natural Gas Critical
Needs Bond of Act 1998 are available as high unit cost grants to local government units to
finance school water and wastewater projects. The funds are limited to units of local
government whose project cost, if financed at the market rate, would result in an average
residential water and sewer bill in excess of 1.5°/° of their the median household income on
an annual basis or a sewer bill in excess of 0.75% of their the median household income for
sewer only projects. Grant funds are limited to excess costs up to $3 million per fiscal year.
The adjusted 1998 median annual household income for Stanly County is $32,986. The
resulting monthly water and sewer rate for determining eligibility for high unit cost grants is
$41.23 for a combined project or $20.62 for a sewer only project.
A sewer user charge analysis was performed to determine the eligibility of the project for a
high unit cost grant.
6.5 User Charge Analysis
A user charge analysis was performed to evaluate the impacts of the project on the County's
Utility Operating Fund. Existing revenues and expenditures were obtained from the Stanly
County, North Carolina Comprehensive Annual Financial Report for the year engine June
30, 1998. The estimated operating expenditures for the Utility Operating Fund after
completion of the project is equal to the sum of the existing expenditures, projected
increases/decreases due to the project. A summary of these expenditures is presented in
Appendix E. The estimated operating revenues for the Utility Operating Fund after
completion of the project were determined in a similar manner.
An analysis of projected user charges was performed for the project both with and without a
$3 million grant.

• DRAFT
Existing sewer service in the County is limited. The existing average monthly bill for a
residential customer is approximately $11.70 ($2.72/1,000 gallons of flow) based on 4,300
gallons/month.
The projected rates resulting from providing wastewater service to the schools were
analyzed. The analysis grouped all four (4) school projects together. User charges were
estimated by dividing the total annual costs (including debt repayment, O&M, and
treatment costs) by the total flow to be treated. The user charge analysis was performed
both with and without grants for "high unit cost" projects. Supporting documentation for
the user charge analysis is also included in Appendix D.
User charges resulting from the project are shown in the table below.
Table 6.2
User Charge Analysis
Existing Charges $11.70/month
Projected Charges
Without Grant $39.91/month
With $3.0 Million Grant $22.54/month
As noted above, user charges will increase significantly as a result of these projects. Stanly
County will be eligible to receive a grant to offset costs for projects considered "high unit
cost." These are projects where resulting annual sewer bills for an average residential
customer would exceed 0.75% of the median family income.
In Stanly County, this figure is equivalent to a monthly sewer bill of $20.62 for an average
residential customer.

DRAFT
SECTION 7 -- ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
7.1 Environmental Assessment
The project is subject to the State (North Carolina) Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), and is
considered a major activity by NCDENR Departmental Rules for implementation of the Act
(T15A: 01C.0504). An Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared in accordance
with the requirements of the Act, and is attached as a separate document. The EA is a
prerequisite towards the issuance of a non-discharge permit from NCDWQ for construction.

DRAFT
SECTION 8 — SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS
8.1 Summary
The study area includes four schools in the Stanly County system. The four schools are
Aquadale, Endy, Millingport, and Ridgecrest. All four schools have serious deficiencies
with sewer facilities. Meeting the wastewater needs at each school will require the
construction of a pumping station and force main from each school to the nearest
acceptable municipal wastewater treatment facility. The pumping stations will be sized to
meet the projected future needs at each school.
Each pump station will use submersible pumps, and include a standby generator. Also,
each site would require a telemetry system to alert the County of any problems. The project
will include gravity lines for connection to possible users. The total estimated project cost is
$4,187,000, which includes construction costs and allowances for contingencies and
engineering, legal, and administrative fees. The project would include 72,300 feet of 6"
force main and 16,000 feet of 8" gravity line.
Stanly County intends to apply for funding assistance to plan and construct the Sewer
Improvements through a high unit cost grant administered by the NC Department of
Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR) from funds authorized through the NC
Clean Water and Natural Gas Critical Needs Bond Act of 1998. The funds are limited to
units of local government whose project cost (for sewer only projects), if financed at the
market rate, would result in an average residential sewer bill in excess of 0.75% of their
median household income on an annual basis. Grant funds are limited to excess costs up to
$3 million per fiscal year.
The monthly sewer rate for determining eligibility for high unit cost grants in Stanly County
is $20.62 for a sewer only project. A sewer user charge analysis was performed to
determine the eligibility of the project for a high unit cost grant. if the project is
implemented without a grant, the projected average monthly bill for a residential customer
is estimated to be approximately $39.91. If a $3 million grant is received, the projected
average monthly bill for a residential customer is estimated to be approximately $22.54.
8.2 Recommendations
As a result of this analysis the following recommendations are offered to Stanly County.
A. Approve this Facilities Plan Amendment and adopt Aquadale Alternative 2 and
Millingport Alternative 1 as the selected means of meeting the needs at the school
sites.
B. Submit this document to the NC Division of Water Quality for review and approval.
C. Apply for financial assistance (High Unit Cost Grant and Loan) through the NC
Clean Water and Natural Gas Critical Needs Bond Act of 1998.
D. Authorize the preparation of construction plans and specifications required prior to
receiving funding.

John Whitehurst— County Manager
FROM: Larry Wood
DATE: January 25, 1999
SUBJECT: Water& Sewer Status— Stanly County Schools
Al,
Per your FAX on January 22, we have compiled the attached information concerning our schools.
My priority and that of the Board of Education is as follows:
• Ridgecrest School —Water/Sewer
• Aquadale School — Sewer
• Endy School — Sewer
• Millingport School —Water/Sewer
I have enclosed "fact sheets" per your format on each location. I have also enclosed a`wastewater
status" sheet on all schools.
Cost estimates for each of the locations are also enclosed. These estimates were completed in 1997
and were a part of our school facilities package which failed at the polls.
I hope the information helps. We will be very pleased to provide you any additional information
you require. Our goal is to get public water and sewer to all schools as quickly as possible.
Thanks for your help.

ELE['FiONE: Re: Estimated Construction Costs for
9.662.7272 Water and Sewer Improvements
F x: Dear Larry:
9.662.7320
I enjoyed seeing you again last week and appreciate the opportunity to serve
the Stanly Board of Education again. After we went over the expected needs
of several existing schools, I reviewed the areas to select a preliminary route
for the future water and sewer improvements. The attached opinion of
probable costs reflect what the Board can expect to see over the next 24
months or so. If these projects do not come into fruition within that period,
you should add another 5% into the budget to cover rising costs.
I selected to use 6" sewer force mains through out. This size Iine will allow at
least 330 homeowner connections including the school's capacity. To further
increase the force main to an 8" would has serious impacts on the overall
project costs since the minimum allowed pumping rate would be around 350
gpm.
Once the Boards have selected a direction for these projects, I would be
pleased to once again have the opportunity to work with you and your school
Board. Should you have any questions about the presented materials, please
call me at [phone].
Very Truly Yours,

Stanly County Schools—Preliminary Draft Environmental Assessment March 24. 1999
LAW Project No.30100-9-4351
I. INTRODUCTION— PROPOSED ACTION
The Stanly County Board of County Commissioners has proposed the use of funding from the
Clean Water and Natural Gas Critical Needs Bond Act of 1998, as administered by the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), for water and
wastewater improvements for four Stanly County elementary schools. McKim and Creed
Engineers (MCE) of Charlotte, NC has been selected as the engineers of the project. LAW
Engineering and Environmental Services, Inc. (LAW) of Charlotte, North Carolina has been
retained by MCE to conduct an environmental review and prepare an Environmental Assessment
for the proposed project. The schools are located generally east and south of the city of Albemarle
in Stanly County, North Carolina. The four schools include Millingport. Ridgecrest, Aquadale,
and Endy elementary schools. See Figure 1.
Each of the schools has wastewater facilities and disposal systems that are not in compliance with
the North Carolina Division of Water Quality (DWQ) criteria. Meeting the wastewater needs at
each school will require the construction of a pump station and force main from each school to the
nearest acceptable municipal wastewater treatment facility. The pump stations will be sized to
meet the projected future needs at each school. Each pump station will use submersible pumps,
and include a standby generator. Also, each site would require a telemetry system to alert the
County of any problems. The project will include gravity lines for connection to possible users.
The total estimated project cost is $4,187,000, which includes contingency, engineering
administration, and construction fees. The project would include approximately 72,300 feet of 6"
force main and 16,000 feet of 8" gravity line. See Figure 2A-D.
In summary, to address the wastewater problems.the proposed wastewater improvements project
will include:
• a new pump station in the immediate vicinity of each of the four schools
• installation of gravity lines along roads that intersect between each school and the pump
station
• installation of a 6-inch force main along North Carolina Highway 73 (NC 73) from the
Milllingport school pump station to the Albemarle facilities in the vicinity of City Lake

station to facilities at Red Cross(NC 24/27)
• installation of a 6-inch force main along NC 24/27 from the Endy school pump station to
facilities at the Agri-Civic Center
• installation of a 6-inch force main along South Stanly High School Road from Aquadale
school to facilities at South Stanly High School
Two of the schools, Millingport and Ridgecrest, have drinking water well supply systems in need
of replacement. The Ridgecrest school well system that has tested positive for Lindane, high
levels of copper and lead and is not suitable for human consumption. Currently bottled water is
supplied for Ridgecrest. Millingport school also has a drinking water supply well system. It is
currently meeting all State requirements, but the system demands are taxing the supply capabilities
for the drinking water well system. The approximate cost of the project is estimated at $4.7
million. The proposed project includes approximately 58,000 feet of 8" water lines and 23,300
feet of 12' water lines to connect the two schools to existing water supply lines. A booster pump
station and a 0.3-million gallon elevated water tank are also included in the proposed project. See
Figure 3.
In summary,to address the drinking water supply problems, the proposed water improvement
project will include:
• extension of the current 12-inch water line at Long Lake(City Lake)
• installation of a new booster pump station in the vicinity of City Lake
• installation of a new 12-inch water line that follows NC 73 to Millingport school
• placement of a 0.3-million gallon elevated water tank in the vicinity of Millingport school
• installation of a new I2-inch water line along Millingport Road to Ridgecrest school
• continuation of the waterline along Ridgecrest Road to connect to the existing water line at
Red Cross
The preliminary layout of the project is presented on Figure 1. The project will occur primarily
within the existing North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) right-of-way (R/W).
The proposed project may require the acquisition of new R/W at the proposed locations of each oft
the pump stations and elevated water tank. The footprint for the pump stations will encompass
approximately 50' by 50' or 2,500 ft2. The footprint of the proposed elevated water tank is

estimated at 100' by 100' or 10,000 ft2. Permanent construction easements are not anticipated
except along North Carolina Highway 24/27 (NC 24/27). Temporary construction easements
(TCE), are not expected, but if needed are not anticipated to exceed 15'.
The project may be subject to the State (North Carolina) Environmental Policy Act (SEPA). This
Environmental Assessment (EA) has been prepared pursuant to the requirements of the Act. The
EA is a prerequisite towards the issuance of a non-discharge permit from the Division of Water
Quality (or delegated program) for construction. The Division of Water Quality will be the
responsible state agency for ensuring compliance with SEPA.

2. EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
The water and wastewater improvements project will occur primarily within the existing NCDOT
right-of-way. The surrounding adjacent properties consist largely of agricultural fields,
undeveloped wooded areas, rural residential, and small commercial/industrial facilities.
Review of the General Soil Map of Stanly County revealed that there are seven main soil types
located within the project area. These include: Badin channery silt loam - 2-8% slopes (BaB),
Badin channery silt loam - 8-15% slopes (BaD), Georgeville silt loam - 2-8% slopes (GeB),
Goldston very channery silt loam - 4-15% slopes (GoC), Misenheimer channery silt loam - 0-4%
slopes (MhB), Tatum channery silt loam - 2-8% slopes (TbB), and Tatum channery silt loam - 8-
15% slopes (TdB) soils [U.S. Department of Agriculture, Soil Conservation Service (USDASCS,
1989)]. All of these soils are well drained with the exception of MhB.
Additionally, Oakboro soils (Oa) occur throughout the floodplain of many of the waterways
located within the project corridor. This series consists of deep, moderately well drained,
moderately permeable soils and often contain hydric inclusions(USDASCS, 1989).
The principal (perennial) surface water features proximal to the project area are Long Creek, Long
Lake, Big Bear Creek, Ugly Creek, Long Branch, and Stony Run. These waters are classified as
"Class C" (15A NCAC 2B .0308). Best usage of these waters includes secondary recreation,
agriculture, and aquatic life propagation and maintenance (NCDENR, 1997).
The study area covers four elementary schools in Stanly County: Aquadale, Endy, Millingport, and
Ridgecrest. This section describes the areas that are currently served and deficiencies that exist
within each service area.
Aquadale school, located on NC 138 in Norwood, is on a municipal water line. However, it has a
septic tank with recirculating sand filter prior to discharge to a "wet-weather" stream. The
wastewater system is operating in excess of its NPDES permit for flow. In 1997-1998, over
$57,000 was spent on modifications, maintenance, analysis, and fines for flow violations. The
school is unable to expand because of the wastewater system.

CAW Project No.30100-9-4351
•
• Endy school, located off NC 24/27 west of Albemarle, is served by the County water system. The
wastewater system consists of a septic tank and sand filter with low-pressure drain field. The
system is currently operating at a flow nearly 50%greater than the approved design capacity. The
sand filter and pumping system are thought to be within the proposed right-of-way for the
NC 24/27 widening. This school can not be expanded based on wastewater limitations.
Millingport school, located on NC 73 west of Albemarle, has a well for water supply and a septic
tank for waste disposal. The well is currently meeting all State requirements. The wastewater
system consists of a septic tank with a low-pressure drain field constructed on the school's ball
field. The system does not meet school needs during wet weather, and no [and is available for
expansion or replacement of the drain field.
Ridgecrest school, located on Millingport Road in Stanfield, NC, is served by a wastewater system
consisting of a septic tank and low pressure piping system for effluent disposal. The septic tank
must be pumped quarterly, and is currently receiving flow above design limits. No land is
available for expansion of the system.
Two of the four schools, Millingport and Ridgecrest, also have drinking water supply problems.
Ridgecrest school currently has a drinking water supply well system that has tested positive for
Lindane, a pesticide. The drinking water supply well also has high levels of copper and lead. The
drinking water supply well cannot be used for human consumption and the school relies on bottled
water. Millingport school also has a drinking water supply well system. It is currently meeting all
State requirements, but the system demands are taxing the supply capabilities for the drinking
water well system.

3. PROJECT PURPOSE AND NEED
Stanly County has selected McKim & Creed Engineers to aid them in the development and design
of a plan to connect four elementary schools in the county to existing water and wastewater
facilities. The four schools are Millingport, Ridgecrest, AquadaIe, and Endy. All of the schools
have wastewater facilities and disposal systems that are not in compliance with the North Carolina
Division of Water Quality criteria. Millingport currently has a low pressure piping system with a
drain field. The drain field cannot properly leach all of the wastewater during wet periods, which
causes an unhealthy situation. Ridgecrest has a low pressure piping system with a septic tank.
The current discharge is over the capacity,and the septic tank is being pumped on a quarterly basis
to control the flow. Aquadale currently has a recirculation sand filter system that is exceeding its
design capacity. The school system is paying fines for excessive discharge. Endy has a low
pressure piping system with two monitoring wells. The current system is over its discharge limits.
The Endy school system is also in the path of the NC 24/27 road widening project.
Two of the four schools, Millingport and Ridgecrest, also have drinking water problems.
Ridgecrest school currently has a well water system that has tested positive for Lindane, a
pesticide. The well water also has high levels of copper and lead. The water cannot be used for
human consumption and bottled water is brought in for that purpose. Millingport school also has a
well water system. Millingport is currently meeting all State requirements, but the supply is not
adequate for current and future needs.
In order to solve the water problems at Millingport school, the current water line at City Lake
would be extended. A new booster pump station would be located in the area of City Lake. The
water line would follow NC 73 over to Millingport school, where an elevated water tank would be
located. The water line would then continue down Millingport Road to Ridgecrest school. The
line would continue down Ridgecrest Road to the existing water line at Red Cross.
In order to solve the wastewater problems, four new pump stations would be located at each of the
four schools. The wastewater line for Millingport school would go back along NC 73 towards
Albemarle. Ridgecrest school's wastewater line would go down Ridgecrest Road to Red Cross at
NC 24/27. Endy school's wastewater line would go along NC 24/27 to the Agri-Civic Center.

High School,or to Oakboro for treatment.

4. ALTERNATIVES ANALYSIS
McKim and Creed Engineers (MCE) performed an alternatives analysis, based on cost, to select
proposed facilities and routes for Endy and Millingport schools. LAW has performed an initial
field investigation to identify environmental constraints in the project area, particularly with
regard to wetlands, wildlife and protected species habitat, and cultural resources. MCE will utilize
the identified environmental constraints to make adjustments in the preliminary layout that would
minimize potential impacts to cultural resources and avoid/minimize involvement with wetlands
and watercourses without compromising engineering requirements. Potential impacts to small
areas of wetland at the proposed locations for the pump stations have been noted in the field. The
proposed pump stations locations will be sited to avoid stream impacts and to minimize wetland
impacts by involving only a narrow portion of this wetland area. The end result of this planning
process will be the development of the final project layout will represent the least environmentally
damaging alternative for the project.
A no-action alternative was also considered for the project. As discussed earlier, the proposed
water and wastewater improvements are needed to upgrade inadequate facilities at each of the
schools. The area's rural character and proximity to Albemarle provide a strong impetus to
continued growth in the school system. Needed school expansions are currently being obstructed
by inadequate water and wastewater facilities. As previously described in Section 2.0, water
improvements are needed in order to eliminate the use of bottled water in the Ridgecrest school.
As a result, the no-action alternative was eliminated from further consideration, since it would not
be reasonable or feasible given inadequacies of the existing systems and the school expansion
needs of the area.

5. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSEQUENCES OF THE PROPOSED ACTION AND
MITIGATION MEASURES
The potential environmental impacts of the proposed project have been evaluated and are
discussed in the following sections. Included in each section, where applicable, is a review of
measures to mitigate impacts. The wastewater component of the project will include
approximately 72,300 feet of 6-inch force main and 16,000 feet of 8-inch gravity line and four
pump stations with submersible pump and generators. The water supply component will include
approximately 58,300 feet of 8-inch water Lines and an estimated 23,300 feet of 12-inch water
lines. Also included are a 0.3 million gallon elevated water tank and a booster pump station.
Figure I shows the locations of the four Stanly County elementary schools. Figures 2A through
2D show the proposed wastewater facilities for each school and Figure 3 shows the proposed
water facilities for Ridgecrest and Millingport schools. A summary table of the estimated impacts
corresponding to the various components of the project will be included upon completion of the
environmental assessment.
4.1 CHANGES IN LAND USE
Minimal changes in land use will result form the proposed project. As previously described, the
project corridor is generally comprised of wooded areas, rural residential lots, and agricultural
fields. The project will predominantly occur within existing and maintained DOT rights-of-way
except at the locations of the pump stations and elevated water tank.
In some instances, temporary construction easements (TCE) for the proposed water and
wastewater improvements may extend up to 15- beyond the existing permanent RJW, depending
on the depth of excavation. Construction of the proposed facilities will result in the conversion of
approximately TBD acres of forested land into permanent R/W. Agricultural areas and open fields
will account for the remaining TBD acres of existing land to be converted into permanent R/W.
The construction corridor in wetland areas will be limited to a width of 40' (maximum) and will
be minimized to the maximum extent practicable. This specification is in accordance with the
conditions for the State's 401 General Certification under Nationwide Permit No. 12.
5-6

•
Stanly County Schools—Preliminary Draft Environmental Assessment March 24, 1999
LAW Project No.30100-9-4351
Following construction, permanent R/W will be maintained and woody vegetation will be
controlled within this easement. Periodic maintenance of this R/W will prevent the re-
establishment of woody vegetation. The maintenance corridor (permanent R/W) within wetland
areas will be minimized and will not exceed ten feet in width. Natural succession will be allowed
to take place in those areas outside the permanent R/W disturbed during construction.
The existing land use within the project area is primarily low density rural, residential, and
agricultural. Future development of the region will continue to be centered on residential
development, as well as the growth of commercial and light industries to stimulate the county's
projected population expansion. The addition of the proposed facilities will provide the needed
wastewater infrastructure to support ongoing and future development. Secondary growth is
discussed in further detail in Section 4.I5.
4.2 WETLANDS
Review of the National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) Maps (U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, 1995)
and a site reconnaissance indicate the presence of a number of wetlands in the project area.
Waters of the U.S., including wetlands, are under the jurisdiction of the U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers (USACE) as per Section 404 of the Clean Water Act. Siting facilities as close to the
existing roadway as possible will minimize impacts to wetland areas resulting from the proposed
project. Notable exceptions to this siting strategy will occur in the vicinity of drainage structures
at existing road crossings. At these locations, the utility line will be located immediately up or
downstream in order to avoid conflicts with the existing structure.
Approximately 94 possible crossings of waters of the U.S. could occur within the project corridor.
These crossings involve, Ugly Creek. Hardy Creek, Long Creek. Long Lake, Scaly Bark Branch.
Stony Run, Big Bear Creek, Little Bear Creek, and some of their associated intermittent and
perennial tributaries. The Oakboro force main alternative will incorporate crossings of Murray
Branch, Alligator Branch, Long Branch, Long Creek, Horse Branch, and Gilberts Creek.
Moreover, the Albemarle force main alternative will transverse Little Creek and Long Branch.
-_ 5-7

Sternly County Schools—Preliminary Draft Environmental Assessment March 24, 1999
LAW Project No.30100-9-4351
There are ten important (perennial) water crossings associated with the project which include:
Stony Run (2), Little Bear Creek (3), Big Bear Creek (1), Ugly Creek (2), Long Creek (1), and
Long Creek/Long Lake (also known as City Lake) (1). The Oakboro force main alternative will
involve two important stream crossings, one at Long Creek and the other at Long Branch. The
remaining 84 possible stream crossings are of small, unnamed tributaries to the aforementioned
waters. The utility line at each of these crossings will be completely buried below the channel
bottom. Stream crossings have been designed to be as close to perpendicular to the watercourse as
possible. No-seam piping will be installed at all permanent and intermittent stream crossings as
shown on the most recent version of the USGS topographic map. The placement of rip rap will be
restricted to areas of the stream bank and bottom which are directly impacted by the placement of
the utility line. An approved Sediment and Erosion Control Plan will be utilized to prevent
exceedances of the established turbidity water quality standard (50 NTUs).
The project proponent will delineate waters of the U.S., including wetlands, located within the
proposed project construction limits of the subject site, during the wetlands permitting phase of
this project.
Short-term impacts associated with construction-related activities include the removal of wetland
vegetation, including wooded wetland habitat (quantification of impacts to be determined during
permitting phase of project), and a disruption to local hydrology. Limited sedimentation and
erosion impacts to the creek and adjoining undisturbed wetland areas may result due to the
removal of wetlands and their inherent ability to entrap and filter sediment. Potential impacts to
jurisdictional waters and wetlands, associated with sedimentation and erosion, will be largely
minimized through the design, implementation, and maintenance of a State-approved erosion and
sedimentation control plan. The goal of this plan will be to minimize erosion and retain
sediments, to the maximum extent possible, within the construction area.
Critical to the recovery of disturbed wetland habitat will be the re-establishment of pre-
construction contours and drainage patterns. Utility line installation in the wetland areas will be
conducted in accordance with the conditions of the federal permit that will be obtained from the
USACE, and the State's General Water Quality Certification, pursuant to Sections 404 and 401 of
the Clean Water Act, respectively. Included in the Section 404 permit is a condition that the top 6
5-8

Stanly County Schools—Preliminary Draft Environmental Assessment March 24, 1999
LAW Project No.30100-9-4351
to 12 inches of the trench, in wetland areas, be generally back-filled with topsoil from the trench.
Conditions of the Section 401 General Certification for Nationwide Permit Number 12 or Regional
1
Permit 198100049 and regional conditions of Section 404 include the use of anti-seep collars
1 every150' in wetland areas, and limitingthe construction corridor width to 40' (maximum).
These conditions also include the use of native vegetation suitable for wet locations for
4
} stabilization seeding (fescue is prohibited). This would serve the two-fold purpose of controlling
erosion while affording nearby herbaceous wetland vegetation an opportunity to compete and re-
establish. Despite these measures, however, the loss of wetland habitat may prove permanent
within the construction zone as a result of the removal of native vegetation and the disruption of
normal ground-water movement due to soil mixing and compacting.
4.3 PRIME OR UNIQUE FARMLANDS/FORESTRY SOILS
There are seven main soil types located within the proposed project corridor. Three of these soil
types are considered by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Soil Conservation Service to be prime
farmland soils, classified "P1", or farmlands of statewide importance, classified "S 1" (USDASCS,
1992).
Tatum channery silt loam, 2-8% slopes (TbB) and Georgeville silt loam, 2-8% slopes (GeB) are
classified "Pl" and are found predominately on upland slopes. Tatum channery silt loam, 8-15%
slopes (TdB) is considered "SI." This soil type is primarily located on gentle sloping hills
(USDASCS, 1989 and 1992). The proposed permanent R/W would impact approximately TBD
acres of prime farmland soil (Table 1--TBC). While the removal of these soils from potential
agricultural use is unavoidable, the width of the permanent RIW will be the minimum necessary to
site and provide effective maintenance of the facilities.
Forestry soils within the project area have also been considered. All seven of the dominant soils
within the proposed project corridor are designated as forestry soils. Soils with this "8A"
designation are BaB, BaD, GeB, and TbB. These soils are suitable for both woodlands and
cropland production. Goldston very channery silt loam —4-15%slopes (GoC) has a designation of
"7C". This soil's shallow depth to bedrock and the very channery surface layer are the main
5-9

Stanly County Schools—Preliminary Draft Environmental Assessment March 14, 1999
LAW Project No.30100-9-4351
limitations for woodland use and management. Tatum channery silt loam—8-15% slopes(TdB) is
not suitable for the production of commercial trees(USDASCS, 1989).
During the construction phase of the project, temporary disturbance of the soil within the proposed
and existing permanent RIW and associated temporary construction easements will occur. This
disturbance will result in the alteration of the soil profile and required compaction within the new
utility line trench, with some additional compaction expected from the operation of heavy
construction equipment within the R/W. Secondary long-term impacts to the soils within the
project service area are expected as development continues, supported by the new sewer facilities.
Development will result in additional forested and agricultural lands being converted for
residential, business, and commercial uses. However, urban development in this area will
continue to occur in accordance with the local land use plan and zoning regardless of whether the
project is implemented. Secondary growth is discussed in further detail in Section 4.15.
4.4 PUBLIC LANDS/PARKLANDS
Stanly County owns approximately 70 acres of land located just north of Long Lake. At the time
of this draft, no development or designation plans have been made for this property. The closest
park to the project area is Endy Optimist Park, a privately owned property, located off Teeter
Road, approximately 0.75-mile southwest of Endy (Lindsey Dunevant, pers. comm., 1999).
Neither existing nor proposed parks are expected to be directly impacted by the construction of the
project.
4.5 SCENIC AND RECREATIONAL AREAS
Recreational facilities associated with the project area include, Millingport, Aquadale, Ridgecrest,
and Endy Elementary schools, and the Agri-Civic Center (located off NC 24/27 in Albemarle;
Lindsey Dunevant, pers. comm., 1999). There are currently no designated scenic areas or major
recreational areas in the vicinity of the project area that would be impacted by the construction of
the proposed water and wastewater improvements.

4.6 AREAS OF ARCHAEOLOGICAL OR HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE
Written correspondence, dated March 8, 1999 and addressed to Mr. David Brook, Deputy State
Historic Preservation Officer (SHPO) of the North Carolina Department of Cultural Resources
(DCR) has been issued. This letter has been included as Appendix A. LAW is currently awaiting
his reply concerning archaeological or historical sites located within the project area.
Several sites in Stanly County are on the National Register Study List as eligible for the National
Register of Historic Places (Vicki Coggins, pers. comm., 1999). Correspondence from the
Albemarle Downtown Development Corporation has been included as Appendix B. LAW will
consider these comments as well as comments from SHPO during the wetlands permitting phase
of the project. Cultural resources investigations will be conducted as necessary in order to obtain
the requisite Nationwide Wetlands Permit.
4.7 AIR QUALITY
No long-term consequence to air quality will occur as a result of this project. Temporary air
quality impacts will occur during the construction phase from dust and construction machinery
exhaust. Should fugitive dust become a problem during construction, the Contractor will be
responsible for periodic watering of the site, as needed, to reduce or limit the problem. With the
exception of the burning of diseased trees, the owner will prohibit burning of construction debris
on the site and proper off-site disposal of these materials at an approved landfill will be required.
4.8 GROUND WATER QUALITY
Misenheimer channery silt loam is a shallow and somewhat poorly drained soil. This soil is
usually located on broad, nearly level to gently sloping uplands in depressions and around the head
of intermittent drainageways. The seasonal high water table is at 1' - 1.5' and depth to bedrock is
10 — 20". The remainder of the dominant soils impacted by the project (TbD, TdD, BaD, GeB,
BaB, GoC) are all well drained soils with seasonal high water tables at greater than 6 feet and
bedrock typically occurring at greater than 40".
5-I1

Slimly County Schools—Preliminary Draft Environmental assessment March 24, 1999
LAW Project No. 30100-9-4351
No substantial impact to ground water quality is anticipated as a result of the proposed project.
Potential infiltration or exfiltration of wastewater from the utility lines will be made negligible
through the use of standard 0-ring seals at the joints between pipe segments for the gravity line
segments, and PVC piping for the force main. Prior to going into service, the gravity sewer will
be pressure-tested. All leaks will be repaired before the system is brought on-line. Trenching
activities during construction may result in localized short-term changes in ground water
elevations. If trench dewatering is required during the construction phase of the project, rock
filters will be used to trap sediments. An anti-seep collar will be installed at the downstream
wetland boundary and every 150 feet up the gradient until the outfall exits the wetland.
The extension of sewer service into this area may provide some long-term benefits to ground water
quality. The proposed facilities will eliminate the proliferation of septic tanks and private
wastewater facilities within the immediate service area. In addition, the project will eliminate
inadequate facilities at the four elementary schools. This will reduce the potential for surface and
subsurface seepage from septic tanks and contaminated discharge from package wastewater
treatment facilities that may negatively impact existing ground water quality.
4.9 NOISE LEVELS
No long-term consequence to ambient noise levels will occur as a result of this project. Some
minor increase in ambient noise will occur in the immediate vicinity of the existing pump stations
once the facilities are in operation. Temporary noise impacts will occur during the construction
phase of this project. Efforts will be made to minimize this impact through the appropriate
maintenance of the construction equipment and the use of proper mufflers on motorized
equipment. Construction activities outside of normal working hours will be largely restricted.
These measures will be included in the construction documents.

4.10 WATER SUPPLIES
The project area is located in the Yadkin-PeeDee River Basin. This project is located within the
Hydrologic Unit Map #03040105 which covers seven counties including Stanly County. The
project corridor intersects Ugly Creek, Hardy Creek, Long Creek, Long Lake, Scaly Bark Branch,
Stony Run, Big Bear Creek, Little Bear Creek, and some of their associated intermittent and
perennial tributaries. These waters are classified as "Class C" (15 a NCAC 2B .0308). The 'best
usage' of these waters, for which they must be protected, includes aquatic life propagation and
maintenance of biological integrity (including fishing and fish), wildlife, secondary recreation,
agriculture, and any other usage except for primary recreation or as a source of water supply for
drinking, culinary or food processing purposes (North Carolina Department of Environment and
Natural Resources, 1997).
The project will benefit the quality of existing ground water and potential future surface water
supplies by eliminating inadequate waste water systems associated with the four elementary
schools. The project will allow for the expansion of the schools as populations grow within the
service area. Potential future land use in the project service area will primarily consist of
agricultural and low density rural/residential with small pods of commercial/light industrial
development. The increase in impervious surface area associated with development will result in
an increase in urban run-off within the basin. Urban run-off, which may include entrained
nutrients, sediments, and coliform bacteria, is a leading cause of water quality degradation
nationwide. Failing to control urban run-off could result in potential long-term impacts within the
watershed.
As described in Section 4.2, the project will result in approximately 94 potential crossings of
surface water features. The construction of the proposed stream crossings will be expedited by the
Contractor by way of the conditions of the construction contract to limit exposure time of potential
erosion and sedimentation. Following completion of each crossing, the creek banks will be
restored to the specified slope and rock rip rap or jute netting and vegetative cover will be used to
limit erosion. Silt fences may be used at the top of both creek banks to prevent erosion of the
creek bank face and silting of the creek channel while the vegetative cover is being restored. The
utility line, at the crossings, will be placed below channel bottom. Installation depths will
5-13

Stanly County Schools—Preliminary Draft Environmental Assessment March 24,1999
LAW Project No.30100-9-4351
maintain the movement of fish and water flow. No-seam piping will be used at permanent and
intermittent stream crossings. All excess fill will be moved to upland disposal areas. These
mitigation measures will be considered in the design and made part of the construction documents.
Possible sedimentation of streams and ditches adjacent to the proposed utilities during and
immediately following the construction phase of this project will be minimized by implementation
of the approved sediment and erosion control plan. All erosion and sediment control devices will
be inspected for compliance with the construction contract documents during and after
construction, as well as following any major storm event, to identify any needed repair,
maintenance, or redesign. A buffer of existing vegetation will be maintained where possible
between the trenching activities/temporary construction easement(TCE)and nearby watercourses.
This undisturbed buffer will vary from 10' (minimum) to upwards of 50' (except at stream
crossings). Additional erosion control measures, including but not limited to silt fences, will be
considered during construction operations in areas where there is insufficient natural vegetation
between the TCE and the stream bank.
4.11 WILDLIFE AND WOODLAND
The predominant natural vegetative communities located along and wildlife use of the proposed
sewer corridor will be determined during the permitting phase of this project.
4.11.1 PROTECTED SPECIES
Written correspondence, dated March 8, 1999, has been forwarded to Mr. Mark Cantrell, U.S. Fish
and Wildlife Service (USFWS). A copy of this letter has been included as Appendix C. LAW is
currently awaiting his reply concerning federally protected species that may occur within the
vicinity of the project corridor.
Based on recent correspondence with the NCDENR's Division of Parks and Recreation Natural
Heritage Program (NHP), federally protected species for Stanly County include the squawfoot
mussel (Strophitus undulatus), bald eagle (Haliaeetus leucocephalus), and Schweinitz's sunflower
(Helianthus schweinitzii). Correspondence dated March 10, 1999, from NCDENR's Division of
5-14

Stanly County Schools—Preliminary Draft Environmental Assessment March 24, 1999
LAW Project No.30100-9-4351
Parks and Recreation Natural Heritage Program (NHP) states that there are records suggesting the
presence of known rare species, high quality natural communities, or Significant Natural Heritage
Areas within a 1-mile radius of the proposed project limits(Appendix D).
The squawfoot is a wide-ranging freshwater mussel that can be found in most Piedmont drainages
in North Carolina. In Stanly County, few records of this species have been documented with most
observations in or near the Uwharrie National Forest. However, NHP has information on an
observation of the squawfoot in Big Bear Creek approximately 2.5 miles southwest from Endy
(Susan Giles, pers. comm., 1999).
Although small numbers of the bald eagle breed along the Yadkin-Pee Dee River Basin in North
Carolina, the project area does not provide adequate foraging, nesting, or roosting habitat this
species requires(Marek Smith, pers. comm, 1999).
The federally-endangered Schweinitz's sunflower blooms from September through October. This
perennial herbaceous plant prefers an open 'full sun' habitat, such as old fields, pastures, forest
clearings, maintained right-of-ways(RIWs), and other areas subject to periodic disturbances. This
endangered plant has an affinity for heavy clay basic soils and is often found in Enon. Iredell, or
Cecil soils. With the exception of limited areas of Enon soils, these preferred soils are not located
in the project area. However, according to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Red Book
(Appendix E) and communication with Dr. Jim Matthews, Professor Emeritus UNCC, populations
of the Schweinitz's sunflower have been found in Stanly County. Furthermore, since a population
of this endangered plant is located within a mile of the project limits (Jim Matthews, pers. comm.,
1999) and the project will largely take place along existing road WWs, a protected species survey
of the subject site is likely warranted and will be conducted before construction activities are
initiated.
4.11.2 WOODLAND
Construction of the proposed project will result in thepermanent loss of approximately TBD acres
p p PP y
of woodland habitat as a result of the conversion to permanent right-of-way (R/W). It is
anticipated that the majority of the project will occur in existing and maintained DOT right-of-
5-15 --

Stanly County Schools—Preliminary Draft Environmental Assessment March 24,1999
LAW Project No.30100-9-4351
ways. Trees within the permanent R/W will be removed and replaced with an appropriate
herbaceous cover following the final filling, compacting, and grading of trenches. Future R/W
maintenance will prohibit the reestablishment of woodland vegetation.
In the event that a temporary construction easement is necessary, the TCE will result in short term
impacts on woodland habitat. The anticipated TCE associated with the project will typically be no
greater than 15' (maximum). Additional woodland habitat loss associated with the TCE will be
temporal and confined to the land clearing construction phase of the project. During construction,
efforts will be made to minimize the removal of trees from the TCE.
During the construction phase of the project, efforts will be made to protect trees outside of, but
adjacent to the construction corridor. Trees outside the construction zone will be protected from
skinning by machinery, soil compaction and root exposure/injury, additions of soil over the root
system, and accidental spilling of petroleum products or other destructive materials on the root
systems. Efforts may also be made by the Contractor to salvage merchantable timber.
Consideration will also be given to turning non-marketable wood products into mulch at the
construction site. This practice would minimize the need for piling of wood products. No open
burning is anticipated except in the case of diseased trees. Restoration of the area through the re-
establishment of original grades and drainage patterns, and reseeding to control erosion followed
by natural succession of native vegetation, will largely restore the TCE to its pre-construction
state. The construction drawings will provide specifications regarding seasonal seeding mixtures
and rates for restoration of disturbed areas. Specifications involving the application of soil
additives including fertilizer, lime, and superphosphate will also be provided. No fertilizer will be
used within 10 feet of any watercourse/stream or wetland as per the NCDWQ Section 401 General
Certification for NWP No. 12.
Post construction, the permanent R/W will be periodically maintained in order to prevent the
establishment of trees immediately over the utility lines. Periodic mowing in the P1W areas will
occur infrequently, typically on a three to four year interval. Mowing will be scheduled to occur
between October 1 and February 1 to avoid conflicts with nesting wildlife. Provided no
emergency maintenance is necessary, plant succession will be allowed to take place in the TCE.
Supplemental woody plantings in these privately-owned TCE's are not anticipated.

4.12 INTRODUCTION OF TOXIC SUBSTANCES
Following strict material handling and safety procedures will minimize the potential for chemical
spills during construction. The construction document will prohibit the servicing of vehicles
(other than normal maintenance to include refueling and normal lubrication) within the project
area to prevent possible contamination of the soil and water. Project contract conditions will
provide for the removal of equipment that is leaking from the construction site. Contaminated
soils will be removed, treated, and properly disposed. Emergency spill containment and clean-up
equipment will also be available during construction. In accordance with the State's Section 401
Water Quality Certification, during construction, measures will be in place to prohibit wet
concrete from coming in contact with waters of the State (streams/wetlands).
An accidental break in the utility line poses a potential long-term source of contamination. A
large raw sewage spill will impact waters located within and possibly downstream of the
construction corridor. The immediate result of such a catastrophic event would be a degradation
of water quality and possibly a localized fish kill due to contamination and oxygen deprivation
related to increased biological activity. The likelihood of a sewer break will be minimized by the
placement of the outfall below grade. The outfall will be subject to periodic inspection by Stanly
County Utilities Department.
Positive benefits of the project include the elimination of the inadequate wastewater systems
associated with the four elementary schools. The proposed facilities will be designed to also
accommodate future users within the immediate service area. Limited industrial expansion is
anticipated to accompany this growth. Industrial pretreatment programs maintained and enforced
by Stanly County Utilities Department will limit the introduction of potential toxic substances to
the environment.
4.13 EUTROPHICATION OF RECEIVING WATERS
The proposed project will convey wastewater to existing facilities. The project will result in the
elimination of an existing discharge at each of the four schools. The sewer service provided by the
5-17

Stanly County Schools—Preliminary Draft Environmental Assessment March 24, 1999
LAW Project No.30100-9-4351
project will also significantly reduce the need for septic tanks and small private wastewater
treatment plants in the immediate service area. Over the long-term this project may potentially
improve the water quality within the watershed.
4.14 SECONDARY GROWTH
The construction of the water and wastewater improvements will meet the demands of this
projected population growth for the immediate service area. The continuation of current
development trends will result in a population increase with a subsequent demand for improved
sewage management. Without the proposed facilities, individual septic tanks and small package
facilities will accompany this growth. These modes of wastewater treatment would increase non-
point and point source pollution resulting in a potential degradation of the water quality of nearby
creeks and surface waters. Implementation of this project will minimize these potential negative
long-term impacts associated with wastewater.
Future growth within the immediate service area could potentially negative environmental
impacts, including but not limited to, increased traffic, noise, air pollution, and run-off from
impervious surfaces. Future development will also likely include impacts to prime farmlands and
a further reduction in woodland resources and wildlife habitat. At the present time, there are no
County-wide regulations or policies regarding mitigation of forests and wildlife habitat disrupted
or removed as a result of residential and commercial/industrial development. Prime farmland soils
(those designated as P1) are also not protected by County ordinances. Prime farmlands, however, •
would be offered protection if federal moneys are involved in the project. Federal funding would
require an evaluation of the acreage impacts as well as alternatives that would reduce potential
impacts.
4.15 SURFACE WATER QUALITY
As described in Section 4.10, waters located within the project corridor are Class C waters. The
'best usage' of these waters for which they must be protected includes aquatic life propagation and
maintenance of biological integrity (including fishing and fish), wildlife. secondary recreation.
agriculture, and any other usage except for primary recreation or as a source of water supply for
5-18

Stanly County Schools—Preliminary Draft Environmental.Assessment March 24,1999

drinking, culinary or food processing purposes (NCDENR, 1997). All freshwaters in the state are
classified to protect these uses at a minimum. None of the jurisdictional waters immediately
associated with the project area are located in a drinking water supply watershed (NCDENR,
1997). The construction of the proposed utilities will not result in any long-term impacts to
surface water quality in the area. As a condition of the Section 401 Water Quality Certification,
surface water quality will not be allowed to exceed 50 NTUs. The elimination of the existing
inadequate wastewater treatment facilities at each of the schools will improve the water quality
within the watershed.
The North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources in Mooresville, North
Carolina (NCDENR) samples Long Creek at its intersection with SR 1917, which is located
approximately 3.5 miles east of Oakboro. NCDENR samples this site as part of its Ambient
Stream Monitoring Program. Ambient stream monitoring involves measuring chemical and
physical parameters of the water. Parameters measured include, fecal coliform, total phosphate
and nitrate, metals, color, turbidity, and total suspended solids (TSS). Ambient monitoring data
indicates that Long Creek has acceptable water quality based on the Water Quality Standards:
North Carolina Administrative Code [(15A NCAC 2B.0200)(L. Love, pers. comm., 1999)].
The proposed project is not expected to result in long term impacts to the water quality of Ugly
Creek, Hardy Creek, Long Creek. Long Lake, Scaly Bark Branch, Stony Run, Big Bear Creek,
Little Bear Creek, Murray Branch, Alligator Branch, Long Branch, Horse Branch, Gilberts Creek,
Little Creek and their associated intermittent and perennial tributaries. Possible sedimentation of
streams and ditches adjacent to the sewer line during and immediately following the construction
phase of this project will be minimized by strict implementation of a State-approved sediment and
erosion control plan. Construction activities will be confined within the proposed and/or existing
permanent R/W and temporary construction easements. This plan will employ a system of
sediment traps, rock dam basins, diversion ditches, and silt fencing to control the export of
sediment from the project site to adjacent undisturbed areas. All erosion and sediment control
devices will be inspected for compliance with the construction contract documents during and
after construction, as well as following any major storm event, to identify any needed repair,
maintenance, or redesign. A 10' (minimum) to 50.-plus buffer of existing vegetation will be
maintained between construction activities and nearby watercourses. Additional erosion control

measures, including but not limited to silt fences, will be considered in areas where the natural
vegetation buffer width between the construction corridor and the stream bank approaches the
minimum width, i.e., ten feet.
Following completion of construction activities, the project area will be restored to pre-
construction contours. The area will be re-seeded and fertilized to establish new vegetation. It is
anticipated that the Stanly County Utilities Department's Contractor will maintain the seeded area
until a pre-determined percent cover and uniform growth of 3 inches is established.
4.16 FLOODPLAINS
Portions of the proposed utility lines may be located within areas designated as floodplain.
However, no significant long or short-term impacts are anticipated to occur to the floodway or
floodplain elevations as a result of the construction of the proposed project.

Dear Mr. Brook:
Stanly County has proposed water and wastewater improvements for four schools Millingport,
•
Ridegcrest, Aquadale, and Endy. Ridegcrest and Millingport Schools currently utilize drinking water
from well systems that are in need of improvement Ridegcrest School has contaminated well water and
Millingport School needs increased water supply. Each of the four schools has wastewater facilities and
disposal systems that are not in compliance with the criteria of the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality. The proposed water and wastewater improvements will parallel existing streets and to the extent
practicable will be located within the existing right of way. The project location is identified on the
attached map.
The proposed water improvements will include a booster pump station along NC Highway 73 (NC 73) at
the Albemarle city limits and an elevated water tower at one of two locations in the vicinity of Millingport
School. The water line will run along NC 73 to Millingport School, then along Millingport Road to
Ridegcrest School and along Ridgecrest Road to connect to an existing water line at Red Cross. The
locations of the proposed booster pump station, elevated water tower, and the water lines are identified on
the attached map.
The proposed wastewater improvements will include force mains that will parallel roadways and connect
to existing wastewater facilities. The Ridegcrest school force main will parallel Ridegcrest road and
connect to the existing system in Red Cross. The Endy School force main will parallel.NC 24/27 and
connect to an existing facility at the Agri-civic Center. The Millingport force main will parallel NC 73
and connect to the existing facilities on the western side of Albemarle. Three alternative routes are
currently under consideration for the Aquadale School wastewater facilities. These optional routes
include a parallel line along NC 138 north to Albemarle, a parallel line along NC 138 west to Oakboro, or
{ a parallel line along South Stanly School Road east to Stanly High School. A pump station will be
installed in the vicinity of each of the four schools. It is anticipated that the proposed pump stations will
each encompass an area roughly 50' by 50' (2,500 ft2). A small section of gravity sewer will connect the
school to its respective pump station. The locations of the proposed pump stations and the wastewater
lines are identified on the attached map.
Due to the public funding source, the project is subject to the State (North Carolina) Environmental
Policy Act (SEPA). Pursuant to the requirements of the Act, an Environmental Assessment (EA) will be
prepared. Stanly County will seek a Finding of No Significant Impact before constructing the project.

Dear Ms. Beckstrom:
This is in response to your inquiry about potential historic sites, either along the roads paralleled by the
sewer lines, or within the boundaries of the dashed lines as indicated on the map. The documentation for the
information below can be found in Stanly County- The Architectural Legacy of a Rural North Carolina
County,published in 1992, and written by Donna Dodenhoff, who conducted an historic inventory in Stanly
County.
The following houses and farms are on the National Register Study List. This means they are potentially
eligible for National Register listing,but to date, no further research has been done by the property owners
to pursue listing on the National Register of Historic Places. Because no actual address is given for these
sites, it is difficult to determine where they are positioned in the context of the sewer lines. Hence,I am
simply advising you of the potential for these locations to be on or near the roads affected by the installation
of the sewer lines.

NC NATURAL HERITAGE PROGRAM COUNTY SPECIES LIST COVER SHEET
The county species list from the NC Natural Heritage Program is a listing of the elements of natural diversity (rare species,
exemplary natural communities, and special anima!habitats)known to occur in a county. The information on this printout is
compiled from a variety of sources, including field surveys, museums and herbaria, literature, and personal communications. The
Heritage Program's Biological and Conservation Database(BCD) is dynamic, with new records being added and old records being
revised as new information is received. The BCD was developed and is maintained using methodology developed by The Nature
Conservancy. The enclosed list cannot be considered a definitive record of natural heritage elements, and it should not be
considered a substitute for field surveys. When this information is used in any document, we request that the printout date be given
and that the NC Natural Heritage Program be credited.
This cover sheet explains the four columns of status codes that are given on the right-hand side of the county status list.
STATE STATUS
CODE STATUS CODE STATUS
E Endangered P_ Proposed (E, T, or C)
T Threatened SR Significantly Rare
SC Special Concern EX Extirpated
C Candidate
Plant statuses are determined by the Plant Conservation Program (NC Department of Agriculture) and the Natural Heritage
Program(NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources). E, T, and SC species are protected by state law (Plant
Protection and Conservation Act, 1979). C and SR designations indicate rarity and the need for population monitoring and
conservation action.
Animal statuses that indicate state protection(E, T, and SC) are published in Endangered Wildlife of North Carolina, March 16,
1992, Nongame and Endangered Wildlife Program (NC Department of Environment and Natural Resources). SR and EX statuses
are Natural Heritage Program designations. SR indicates rarity and the need for population monitoring and conservation action.
FEDERAL STATUS
This status is designated by the US Fish and Wildlife Service. Federally listed Endangered and Threatened species are protected
under the provisions of the Endangered Species Act of 1973, as amended through the 100th Congress. Unless otherwise noted,
definitions are taken from the Federal Register, Vol. 56, No. 225, November 21, 1991 (50 CFR Part 17).
CODE STATUS DEFINITION
LE Endangered A taxon "in danger of extinction throughout all of a significant portion of its range."
LT Threatened A taxon "likely to become an endangered species within the foreseeable future throughout all of a
significant portion of its range."
P Proposed A taxon proposed for official listing as endangered or threatened.
C Candidate A taxon under consideration for which there is sufficient information to support listing. This category was
formerly designated as a Candidate 1 (C1) species.
FSC Federal "Species of Concern" (also called "Species at Risk"). Formerly defined as a taxon under
consideration for which there is insufficient information to support listing; formerly designated as a
Candidate 2 (C2) species. Currently, the US Fish and Wildlife Service does not recognize this as an
official designation.
T(S/A) Threatened due to Similarity of Appearance. The Endangered Species Act authorizes the treatment of a
species (subspecies or population segment) as threatened even though it is not otherwise listed as threatened
if: (a) The species so closely resembles in appearance a threatened species that enforcement personnel
would have substantial difficulty in differentiating between the listed and unlisted species; (b) the effect of
this substantial difficulty is an additional threat to a threatened species; and (c) such treatment of an unlisted
species will substantially facilitate the enforcement and further the policy of the Act. The American
Alligator has this designation due to similarity of appearance to other rare crocodilians. The Bog Turtle
(southern population) has this designation due to similarity of appearance to Bog Turtles in the threatened
northern population.

GLOBAL AND STATE RANKS
These ranks are determined by The Nature Conservancy's system of measuring rarity and threat status. "Global" refers to
worldwide ranks and "State" to statewide ranks.
STATE RANK DEFINITIONS
S 1 Critically imperiled in North Carolina because of extreme rarity or otherwise very vulnerable to extirpation in the state.
S2 Imperiled in North Carolina because of rarity or otherwise vulnerable to extirpation in the state.
S3 Rare or uncommon in North Carolina.
54 Apparently secure in North Carolina, with many occurrences.
S5 Demonstrably secure in North Carolina and essentially ineradicable under present conditions.
SA Accidental or casual; one to several records for North Carolina, but the state is outside the normal range of the species.
SH Of historical occurrence in North Carolina, perhaps not having been verified in the past 25 years, and suspected to be still
extant in the state.
SR Reported from North Carolina, but without persuasive documentation for either accepting or rejecting the report.
SX Believed to be extirpated from North Carolina.
SU Possibly in peril in North Carolina, but status uncertain; more information is needed.
S? Unranked, or rank uncertain.
l3 Rank of breeding population in the state. Used for migratory species only.
_N Rank of non-breeding population in the state. Used for migratory species only.
_Z_ Population is not of significant conservation concern; applies to transitory, migratory species.
GLOBAL RANK DEFINITIONS
G 1 Critically imperiled globally because of extreme rarity or otherwise very vulnerable to extinction throughout its range.
G2 Imperiled globally because of rarity or otherwise vulnerable to extinction throughout its range.
G3 Either very rare and local throughout its range, or found locally in a restricted area.
G4 Apparently secure globally, although it may be quite rare in parts of its range (especially at the periphery).
G5 Demonstrably secure globally, although it may be quite rare in parts of its range (especially at the periphery).
GH Of historical occurrence throughout its range.
GX Believed to be extinct throughout its range.
GU Possibly in peril, but status uncertain; more information is needed.
G? Unranked, or rank uncertain.
G_Q Of questionable taxonomic status.
T_ Status of subspecies or variety; the G rank refers to the species as a whole.
ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS
Elements following county names marked with one or two asterisks indicate obscure or historic records.
* Obscure record: the date the element was last observed in the county is uncertain.
** Historic record: the element was last observed in the county more than 20 years ago.
Scientific and common names listed in parentheses are synonyms listed in US Fish and Wildlife Service, 1992, Endangered and
Threatened Species of the Southeastern United States (The Red Book).

SCHWEINITZ'S SUNFLOWER
(Helianthus schweinitzii )
FAMILY: Asteraceae
STATUS: Endangered, Federal Register , May 7, 1991
DESCRIPTION: This rhizomatous perennial herb grows from 1 to 2 meters tall from a cluster of
carrot-like tuberous roots. Stems are usually solitary, branching only at or above mid-stem, with the
branches departing from the stem at about a 45-degree angle. The stem is usually pubescent but can
be nearly glabrous; it is often purple. The leaves are opposite on the lower stem, changing to alternate
above. In shape, they are lanceolate, wider near their bases, but variable in size, being generally larger
on the lower stem, and gradually reduced upwards. Lower stem leaves average 10 to 20 centimeters
long and 1.5 to 2.5 centimeters wide - about 5 to 10 times as Iong as wide. Upper stein leaves
(subtending branches of the inflorescence) average about 5 centimeters long and 1 centimeter wide.
Leaf margins are entire or with a few obscure serrations and are generally also somewhat revolute.
Texture of the leaves is rather thick and stiff. The pubescence of the leaves is distinctive and is one of
the best characters to distinguish Schweinitz's sunflower from its relatives. The upper surface of the
leaves is rough, with the broad-based spinose hairs directed toward the tip of the leaf. The lower
surface is more or less densely pubescent, with soft white hairs obscuring the leaf surface. From
September to frost, Schweinitz's sunflower blooms with comparatively small heads of yellow
flowers. The nutlets are 3.3 to 3.5 millimeters long and are glabrous with rounded tips.
The following combination of characters separates H . schweinitzii from all other eastern North
American species in the genus: heads small (the involucre less than 1 centimeter across), stems at
least sparsely strigose or hirsute below the inflorescence, leaves sessile to short-petiolate (petiole less
than 1.5 centimeters long, very rarely to lanceolate, broadest near base, 5 to 10 times as long as wide
(Weakley and Houk, 1992).
RANGE AND POPULATION LEVEL: Schweinitz's sunflower is endemic to the piedmont of the
Carolinas, where it is currently known from 10 populations in North Carolina and. 6 in South
Carolina The North Carolina populations are located in Union, Stanly, Cabarrus, Mecklenberg, and
Rowan Counties. The species has been extirpated from Stokes and Montgomery Counties in North
Carolina. All the extant and historic sites for the species in South Carolina are in York County.
Thirty-eight percent of the historically extant populations have been destroyed. Most of the remaining
populations are small, with four of them containing less than 40 individuals each.
HABITAT: The species occurs in clearings and edges of upland woods on moist to dryish clays.
clay-loams, or sandy clay-loams that often have a high gravel content and are moderately podzolized.
The underlying rock types are highly weatherable, generally contain low amounts of resistant
minerals such as quartz, and generally weather to fine-textured soils. Schweinitz's sunflower usually
grows in open habitats not typical of the current general landscape in the piedmont of the Carolinas.
Some of the associated species, many of which are also rare, have affinities to glade and prairie
habitats of the Midwest. Other species are associated with fire-maintained sandhills and savannas of
the Atlantic Coastal Plain and piedmont. The habitat of this sunflower tends to be dominated by

SCHWEINITZ'S SUNFLOWER, Helianthus schweinitzii, U.S. Fish& Wildlife Service Page 2 of 3
members of the aster, pea, and grass families, an association emphasizing affinities of the habitat to
both longleaf pine-dominated sandhills and savannas of the southeastern coastal plain and to glades,
barrens, and prairies of the Midwest and Plains (Weakley and Houk, 1992).
REASONS FOR CURRENT STATUS: Ten of the remaining populations survive along roadsides
and three others are within utility line rights-of-way. Three others have been partially bulldozed in
recent years. All of these populations are small, which increases their vulnerability to extirpation as a
result of highway and right-of-way maintenance and improvement, particularly if herbicides are used.
Significant declines have been noted within the last 3 years in 6 of the remaining populations with
decreases ranging from 9 to 89 percent. An unusually vigorous population and one of the few that has
exhibitied increases in recent years is located on a highly vulnerable site only a few feet away from
the edge of a paved highway. The limited geographic range and scarcity of seed sources, as well as
appropriate habitat, increases the severity of the threats to Schweinitz's sunflower. The species
requires some form of disturbance (probably provided historically by fire and/or native grazing
animals) to maintain its open habitat. However, repeated mowing during the flowering and fruiting
season, as has happened to several North Carolina roadside populations in recent years, further
endangers the species. Many of the remaining populations are also threatened due to residential and
commercial expansion, and by the invasions of agressive exotics including Ligustrum sinense
(privet).
MANAGEMENT AND PROTECTION: The Fish and Wildlife Service and the North Carolina
Natural Heritage Program are continuing to try to work with the Departments of Transportation in
North and South Carolina to protect roadside populations. To date, these efforts have been almost
totally unsuccessful. In North Carolina. one population and part of another are on land managed by
the Nature Conservancy. Limited protection is provided to a third population through a management
agreement with the private landowners. The Nature Conservancy initiated a prescribed burning
program for its sites in 1992. None of the South Carolina sites have any formal protection, but utility
companies have been contacted regarding the presence of the species within their rights-of-way. The
North Carolina Botanical Garden has initiated seed collections from all the North Carolina
populations, following the Center for Plant Conservation's guidelines for ex situ . conservation of
genetic material.

Dear Ms. McCaskill:
Pursuant to our conversation, I am writing on behalf of Stanly County Board of
Education to ask for modification of certain requirements in the subject
permits. Specifically, the permits require low pressure disposal lines to be
purged monthly with potable water or air pressure.
Although such purging could have merits in clearing lines of possible debris
accumulating, the benefits of such purging most likely do not justify the
labor and expenditures needed. I understand that this is a relatively new
permit reqHrement and that other affected parties have expressed similar
concerns.
The nature of these systems are such that the purging of these systems is very
difficult and most probably will necessitate hauling large volumes of water by
vehicle. Not only is this extremely burdensome, I doubt that the benefits
outweigh the potential detriment associated with heavy trafficking in the
field vicinity, the inherent potential for "mistakes" (i .e. crushed lines,
broken risers, etc. ), and the additional hydraulic loading to soils which
probably derive the greatest benefit from "resting". Any additional loading
will certainly impact the potential site life.
In consideration of the above concerns, I ask that you reconsider the present
purging requirements and that this requirement be eliminated. I believe that
this action would be practical and in everyone's best interest.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. It is an urgent concern to
Stanly County Schools and we certainly appreciate anything you can do to expe—
ditiously resolve this issue.
If you have any questions or need any additional information, please call me

Dear Mr. Safrit:
I am writing in reference to two LPP subsurface wastewater disposal systems for
which permits have been issued to the Stanly County Board of Education, P. O. Box
1399, Albemarle, NC 28002-1399.
1) Permit # WQ0004058
Ridgecrest Elementary School
Issued November 13, 1990
Contact Person - John Seymour
2) Permit # WQ0004400
Stanfield Elementary School
Issued January 2, 1991
Contact Person - Lindsay Mize
Both permits have a typed signature of George T. Everett but a handwritten
signature showing your name.
Our school system is now operating with SOC's dated to expire in a timely fashion
as we are attempting to upgrade all of our onsite wastewater systems from sandfilters
to either LPP systems or some other modification that will do a much better job of
processing our sewage until hopefully at some point in the future we can hook on to
municipal systems.
We now have the two identified systems operational but are faced with a real
serious liability for student injuries due to one requirement .that was specified in
the OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS of the permit.
Item #6 in the Ridgecrest Permit and #7 in the Stanfield permit specify that "The
low pressure lines shall be purged monthly using potable water or air pressure and
the pressure adjusted on the distribution lines to approved specifications". ;` is is
a great matter of concern to us as the most suitable soil at each school for
th d LPP
to
system is in playground areas. In order to be able to do the purging ol re
install boxes at each lateral stub-up with a removable lid. The lids are easi]
removed and are constantly being carried off for whatever reasons by people using the
playgrounds. As a result we have a continuous problem of looking for missing lids
and hoping that no one accidently steps into one of the boxes while either walking or
playing on the grounds. You can count the laterals on each set of blue prints your
office has approved and calculate the multiple risks we have now constructed for
personal injuries and liability on behalf of our Stanly County Board of Education.

Knowing that other nearby LPP systems did not have such a mandated condition, and
inquiring with our sewer pumps factory personnel as to their observing such
installations elsewhere, it seems that we have the first ones they have seen.
I contacted our project engineer and designer, Mr. Thurman Horne, P.E. and
discussed the safety factor with him. Our original plans did not have the stub-ups
when submitted to your office but we added them without questions and with
considerable expense once the permit was issued. Mr. Horne called the Raleigh
Offices for DEHNR to inquire as to "why" the stipulation and even tried to get an
appointment with someone to discuss it during a visit he made to Raleigh on other
official business. He could not get any kind of response from your compliance
organization as to a matter of concern and liability that the systems are
presenting.
I then made an appeal to your divisional office in Mooresville, NC for assistance
although the permit did come from Raleigh.
Your question may be "why are they being installed on playgrounds"? Our reply is
that professional contracted soil studies showed those areas as the only ones on site
that would best accept such a system.
In talking with officials 0 the local divisional office in Mooresville, I am
told that they have contacted your office as requested by us but are, also, waiting
for a reply. This deeply concerns me that nearly five months have passed since the
first permit was issued, approximately four months since the first inquiries were
made by myself as to possible safety problems, probably three months since the first
high risk liabilities could be documented and a real concentrated effort made to get
a reply. We still don't have a reply. This seems odd when I get letters from DEHNR
for every noncompliance we have and for every single deadline we miss. Surely the
two following items are of comparable importance.
I have two major concerns with the monthly purging requirement:
1) Such a requirement mandates being able to uncap the lateral stub-ups on
a monthly basis and therefore a provision must be made to encapsulate
the caps so that they are able to be relocated as needed. Such
relocation requirements and their being on a playground implies that we
must cut them off and cap them at a height that does not cause a trip
hazard. Therefore, we have used valve cut-off boxes set in the ground
so that the lid is at ground level and the lateral cap slightly lower.
This is fine as long as the lids are in place. When they are removed by
people using the playground facilities, the open boxes then become a
high risk potential for personal injuries and liability on behalf of our
school system if someone should step into one of them.
2) How do we purge the lines with POTABLE water? There are no provisions
in the systems for injecting potable water. If there were, it would
take one to three thousand gallons of water just to fill the system one
time depending on the linear length of the main truck lines and the
lateral lines in the various fields. If and when the lines are purged,
unfiltered sewage directly from the dosing chamber of the septic tank
'4 will be pumped onto the exterior surface of the playground area in the

early stages of the purge and will create much more of a health
hazard for our environment than the noncompliances that our sandfilters
occasionally have now. We understand that a major purpose of the LPP
system is to remove wastewater from the surface of our environment. It
seems purging with surface discharge will draw much stronger complaints
from our school communities than the sandfilter systems ever have. It
does not appear that air will properly substitute for water in a purging
process as no one in Stanly County has a portable air system that is
capable of providing such a volume of air as would be required. Local
engineers doubt that the distribution system can be adjusted with air to
a degree of accuracy that will reflect appropriate water flow through
out the system.
Without understanding "why" and without questioning "why" we incorporated capped
lateral stub-ups into our LPP systems as directed by the permit. However, we can
find no efficient or effective way to use them. We have created a safety and
liability monster and will be pumping unfiltered sewage on to the surfaces of the
grounds if we can figure out a way to supply POTABLE water to our systems.
Please evaluate this plea for assistance in dealing with a permit condition that
establishes negative results for both your office and our school system to have to be
accountable to the school communities for.
Please designate a responsible person in your office to communicate directly with
our office or the very capable personnel in the Mooresville Divisional Office to work
with our school system in securing a workable solution for both parties as to the
concerns expressed above. We share a responsibility with your office for protecting
our environment. We ask that you help us in our responsibility to assure safe
facilities for our students and communities to use.
Thank you for any assistance you can provide in expediting a positive reply to
our questions and concerns as identified.
Respectfully yours,
