All indications are that the Town of Locust will have a municipal wastewater system available in the not too
distant future. Locust Elementary School is located within 150 feet of a planned sewer line and could be
connected for a minimal fee. The current sand filter system at Locust Elementary is meeting all limits specified in
the current SOC. We will continue to monitor and maintain the current system at its optimum standard. With
the construction of a municipal system imminent, we request that the SOC for Locust Elementary be extended
until June 30, 1997. Extension of the SOC would prevent a significant expense and would allow capital funds
available to the Stanly County Board of Education to be spent on other critical projects.
We request your favorable consideration and look forward to your response. Please advise on fees required to
review this request,

STANLY COUNTY -WEST STANLY HS WWTP NPDES PERMIT No. NC0029491
The facility was last inspected by G. T. Chen on June 25,
1993.
PERMIT:
The permitted facility is a 0.0085 MGD wastewater treatment
plant consisting of a 10,000 gallon septic tank with dual
alternating siphons, dual surface sand filters, and a chlorine
contact chamber with tablet disinfection.
RECORDS/REPORTS:
The Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) keeps a log of
visitations, WWTP condition, and maintenance activities.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW:
There was no influent from the school and the septic tank had
not recently dosed the sand filter. There was a small discharge
from the facility. The ORC indicated that there had been heavy
rains and there was a possibility of groundwater infiltration into
the sand filter. He did not believe that the sand filter had a
liner. The ORC was informed that the discharge from the facility
should be monitored and if it continues, then a sampling and self -
monitoring would be necessary for the month of July, 1994.
The sand filter is located in a wet area. The stormwater
ditching (directly adjacent on three sides) had significant
standing water. The ORC was informed that the ditches need to be
drained to continually direct stormwater away from the sand filter.
The standing water artificially keeps the water table high in the
immediate surrounding area, possibly leading to infiltration of the
beds.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Reported effluent flow is based on a calculation of water
meter readings. There is no flow measurement device at the plant.
Instantaneous flow measurement must be established as per Part II,
Section A.7.b. of the subject permit. If another method of flow
measurement is desirable then an amendment request should be made
to the Division of Environmental Management.
LABORATORY:
All laboratory testing and analyses are conducted by
Hydrologic Laboratory Inc. of Salisbury, NC.

All indications are that the Town of Locust will have a municipal wastewater system available in the not too
distant future. Locust Elementary School is located within 150 feet of a planned sewer line and could be
connected for a minimal fee. The current sand filter system at Locust Elementary is meeting all limits specified in
the current SOC. We will continue to monitor and maintain the current system at its optimum standard. With
the construction of a municipal system imminent, we request that the SOC for Locust Elementary be extended
until June 30, 1997. Extension of the SOC would prevent a significant expense and would allow capital funds
available to the Stanly County Board of Education to be spent on other critical projects.
We request your favorable consideration and look forward to your response. Please advise on fees required to
review this request.

Western Stanly County Service Area
Dear Lat...
I am writing i n regards to Our recent conversations concerning wastewater utilities and services in
the western sections of Stanly= County_ As you are aware, the subject of wastewater facilities in
Stanly County, particularly Western Stanly County, has been the source of numerous studies and
deliberation over the last several years with most cycles of talks reduced to an `insurmountable
economic challenge. The point being, that there is no way to shortcut the enormous capital costs
involved in providing the facilities, plants, and equipment necessary to implement. domestic
wastewater transport and treatment in a rural atmosphere without saddling the community with
unrealistic monthly service charges or taxes.
The County of Stanly has been actively pursuing a remedy to this situation, however, and has
commissioned or co -sponsored five studies in the past eight years. As I understand it, the City of
Locust and Town of Stanfield are currently engaged in an additional study for the area with the
possibility of receiving some avenue of 'Federal assistance and/or funding. I have not heard if this
report has been finalized yet but it was reported by the Engineer at a preliminary meeting that the
numbers looked promising for the realization of a wastewater system,
Again, while the challenges are enormous and complex regarding financial concerns, future
growth., and the use of limited resources the County is none the less pursuing the issue and would
like nothing more than to see the implementation of wastewater services in Western Stanly
County. I hope that with the presentation of this most recent study that we will be taking a step
in the positive direction for this purpose. Thank you for your time in this matter.

Dear Mr. Wood:
In regards to information youhave requested on
the possibility of a municipal wastewater system.
The City of Locust is at present awaiting a fea-
sibility study regarding a municipal wastewater
system. The studythat is now under consideration.
would be a system to hook onto the Town of Oakboro
facility. Again, this is in the planning stages,
but looks promisin
We are actively pursuing an affordable system
for the western area of the County, and are confi-
dent that a system will be available in the not
too distant future.
We understand the pressing need of such a system
countywide, but more particular the growing west-
ern section.
If you should have further questions or comments,
please don't hesitate contacting me.

RE: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Aquadate Elementary School 'NPDES Permit No. NC0029432
Stanly County, NC
Dear Mr. Bridgeman:
This letter is in reply to the letter dated June 29, 1994 from Mr. Rex Gleason.
The facility was inspected by Mr. Art Dutton from your office. During his
inspection, several areas need to be addressed according to the Compliance
Evaluation Inspection Report.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW: At the time of the inspection, areas of grass was growing
in the sand filter bed. Due to the heavy rains that we have received this summer,
the grass grew at a rapid rate. All the grass area have*been removed and the bed
is now clear. We are making every effort possible to see that it remains clear.
FLOW MEASUREMENT: .The contract has been awarded to Shiloh Construction to
construct a Septic Tank/ Recirculation Sand Filter Wastewatei' Treatment Facility
at this school. The completion date should be late August or early September. A
flow measurement device will be installed as part of the improvements. We
respectfully request that the existing method of uonitoring the effluent be
approved for use until the construction is complete.
COMPLIANCE SCHEDULES: In our letter dated January 28, 1994 to Mr. Keith Haynes,
we advised that Mr. Thurman Horne was in the process of designing the new system
for Aquadale. At that tite, we anticipated the system being completed before the
June 30, 1994. Since the systeu, is not complete, we request a 120 day exteusiow
for the SOC :(W WQ o. 8.8.51 Ad. IV). Plans are for the Recirculation Facility
to be complete late August or early September. Your cooperation and understanding
in this matter is greatly appreciated.
If you have any questions or concerns, please. advise.

connected for a minimal fee. The current sand filter system at Locust Elementary is meeting all limits specified in
the current SOC. We will continue to monitor and maintain the current system at its optimum standard. With
the constsuc.ti©nrel a -municipal system inuninent, we request that the SOC for Locust Elementary be extended
until: June 30,1997...Extension of the SOC would prevent a significant expense and would allow capital funds
avaiable. ,-
Stanly County Board of Education to be spent on other critical projects.
We request your favorable consideration and look forward to your response. Please advise on fees required to
review tlis request.

the waste and that the waste will not adversely impact the wastewater system or its
ablility to dispose of or utilize residuals. The non -domestic waste must be simular to
domestic strength either before pretreatment or after pretreatment. The applicant must
provide a detailed analysis of all parameters that can reasonably be expected to be contained
in the proposed non -domestic wastewater. The total domestic additional flow requested
is gallons per day. The total non -domestic flow requested is
gallons per day. The total additional flow is gallons per

Dear Mr. Overcash:
Thank you for your November 10, 1994 letter concerning upstream and downstream
monitoring under SOC WQ 88-51. I have enclosed a letter from Mr. George Everett which
deleted the requirement to conduct upstream and downstream monitoring for schools
operating under the SOC.
We sincerely want to do what is required of us under the SOC. I believe our actions have
demonstrated that we take the SOC very seriously. We have made excellent progress toward
full and complete compliance with all aspects of the SOC.
Please take this additional information under consideration. Thank you for your assistance.

Notice of Violation

North, Stanly High School
This letter is in reply to a letter dated January 12, 1994 from Brenda Smith
regarding the stipulated penalty of $1,000 for the BOD violation at North Stanly
High School. A letter was sent to DEM on October 14, 1993 concerning this
violation.
The Stanly County Board of Education entered into an SOC agreement with DEM
with a "good faith" intent even, though prior historical data (attached) shows
that a 45 mg/1 SOC limit could not be maintained with the existing system (14% of
average data is above 45 units).
Stanly County has provided competent, trained, and certified personnel to
operate and maintain ALL wastewater treatment systems. North Stanly High WWTP
was operated and maintained in accordance with established maintenance procedures
and operational techniques.
The very nature of a properly designed and installed intermittent sand
filter system does, not allow for operational flexibility. There are NO. internal
control mechanisms to vary that allows "fine tuning" of the treatment capability.
If the system is properly maintained, ie., septic, tanks pumped when necessary,
dosing bells maintained in working order, and sand filter beds maintained and
sand replaced when necessary, then the operator can only accept the effluent, data
received after samples are analyzed.
DEM's past inspections have not noted significant operational or rnaintenance
deficiencies.
In retrospect, the county should have negotiated less restrictive
that the facility could have attained continuously based on the existing
historical data. This method has been used with other school systems to
determine upper BGD's and ammonia limits and should have been used and appl ed to
the Stanly County School System. We request that this unattainable limit be
revewed andadjusted to reflect the treatment capability of this treatment
system and that stipulated penalties for this violation be rescinded.

Dear Sir:
RE: NORTH STANLY HIGH SCHOOL
NPDES PERMIT NO. NC0029513
After analyzing the BOD samples for the month of September, 1993,
Harold Abernathy, our operator in responsible charge, notified me that
the BOD was out of the compliance limits (45.0). Our LEA does want to
submit evidence for your consideration as to a possible cause for the
noncompliance as is permitted by paragraph four (4) of our SPECIAL
ORDER BY CONSENT #WQ No. 88-51 AD-11. Listed below is profile BOD data
for the past three (3) years:
MONTHLY AVERAGE BOD ANALYSIS
YEAR MAY SEPTEMBER OCTOBER . NOVEMBER
1991 4.9 62.2 37.9 16.95
1992 10.05 21.6 32.7 13.1
1993 1.7 50.0
In reviewing the data, the problem seems to be arising just after
school starts. This also occurred in the 1991 for the month of
September, but did not occur in the year 1992. The years 1991 and 1993
did not have as much rain fall as did the summer of 1992. This could
be a possible cause for the sudden shock on the system after being shut
down for the summer months of June, July, and August. Our operator in
responsible charge, through visual inspection, has check both siphoning
bells and could detect no reason for the possible change in operation.
We request that you consider this explanation and also the fact
that the sewer system project for North Stanly High School is in the
hands of the engineers and should be connected to a municipal sewer
system supposedly within the next six (6) months, as just cause for not
implementing a noncompliance penalty for the month of September, 1993

This annual report has been developed with the assistance of Benjamin H.
Abernathy, our current ORC. Harold has made efforts to continue with a
professional attitude similar to that which our LEA is accustomed..
We feel that much progress is being made in our efforts and with the
assistance received from your agency, At the beginning of the year 1993, six (6)
schools were discharging into sandfilter systems, Now at theend of 1993, we
only have. five (5) and two (2) others to be connected to municipal sewer systems
in the near future,
At our request and your approval, permit for surface discharge at the Endy
Elementary School was rescinded by DEM on October 5, 1993. The non -discharge
permit # WQ0006168 was signed off by Mr. Thurmon Horne, System Designer, and an
LPP system was put into operation on June 14, 1993,
The systems for New London and North Stanly High Schools are in the process
of being connected to the trunk linebetween the Richfield Municipal System and
the City of Albemarle Wastewater Treatment Plant. Shiloh Construction begin the
project on. December 21, 1993. The tentative date of completion will be May,
1994. We requested and received permission from DEM to continue operating these
two schools under the SOC limits for an addition six (6) months, until the
connections are complete.
We presently have a contract. with Mr, Thurman Horne, System Designer, to
design a system for Aquadale Elementary School', Our LEA will correspond with DEM
on this design as soon as, they are completed.
During the past: summer, our ORC made a survey of theseptic tanks and grease
traps to establish pumping needs. Grease traps were pumped out, scum removed
from the top of fluid levels in the septic tanks and bottom sludge pumped down to
approximately 1" above floor level as identified by the survey and has been the
custom of our LEA for several years. Records of all waste product removed and
disposedduring those dates of August. 2 and 3, 1993, are on file at the
Maintenance Department in the files of our ORC.
The use of Sodium Bicarbonate is still required an a regular basis, usually
daily, to maintain Ph levels at West Stanly and New London in the mid -upper 6
range.

Dear Sir:
On January 6, 1993, our school system submitted a request to your
office for an extension on the compliance deadlines under SOC EMC
WQ No.88-51 Ad II for isibrth Stanly High School(NC 0025913) and New
London Elementary School(NC 0029808). Our reason for making such a
request was to establish a time frame to cover our lastest
possibility of connecting the two schools to a new municipal sewer
line through which the town of Richfield was pumping their
discharge to the City of Albemarle for treating and disposal.
Your office granted that request through SOC EMC WQ No. 88-51 Ad
111.
Our office greatly underestimated the time it would take to secure
right of ways and easements for the cross country lines from each
site, especially in dealing with the need to bore under the tracks
of the Norfolk and Southern Railroad and crossing the property of
American Circuit Breaker, Inc., a Texas owned company. Our
experiences in the past have been with local owners and DOT. The
two school projects are active and progressing as identified on an
attachment stapled to the application form, but are not yet ready
to put out to bid due to right of way negotiations. Our
engineering firm for this project, Ellinwood Design Associates,
and myself are now estimating that the projects will be started
and completed during this school year, but not as early as
December 31, 1993, as was anticipated.
Please consider a request to extend the, compliance deadline
for both schools identified until June 30, 1994. That amount of
time should be more than needed and will give us a chance to
complete the projects and be on line prior to the time element
becoming critical again. Our concern is as yours in wanting to
cease surface discharge at the two sites as soon as possible.
However, we do not want to give up this option of connecting to a
municipal sewer that is soon to be our best method for complying
with the intent of the SOC as it was originally issued.

Attachment to S.O.C. Amendment Application
for Stanly County Board of Education
Section V. Explanation As To Why S.O.C. Amendment Is Needed:
The project involving the elimination of Wastewater Discharges from
North Stanly High School and New London Elementary School consists
of installing individual sewage pump stations and force mains
routed along State Roads and N.C. 52, as well as two (2) railroad
crossings. Timely and complete applications for these encroachment
permits were made (July 20, 1993). However, the time taken thus
far by the permitting agencies have not produced the required
permits. Since it would not be prudent to solicit bids for
construction nor begin construction activities on the project until
these are in hand, and whereas the construction time allowance of
120 days cannot be reasonably compressed, an extension of time is
requested of the Division of Environmental Management to
accommodate this delay. The deadline for eliminating discharges at
these facilities presently in effect is December 31, 1993. An
extension to this deadline is requested, making the new deadline to
be June 30, 1994.
Section VI. Explanation of Actions Taken by the Applicant to

Stanley County - Endy Elementary School
Permit No. NC0029483 & SOC WQ No. 88-51
Stanly County
A letter dated June 14, 1993 from Mr. James Misenheimer, the
Director of Maintenance for the Stanly Co. School System, was
received by this office requesting that Permit No. NC0029483 be
rescinded and that the monitoring requirements of SOC WQ No. 88-51
be eliminated for this school. Mr. Misenheimer indicated that a
subsurface low pressure pipe system (LPP) had been installed and
certified by the project engineer. The LPP system will be operated
under Subsurface Disposal Permit No. WQ0006168 monitored by the
Stanly County Environmental Health Department (SCEHD).
Staff contacted the SCEHD to determine the status of Permit
No. WQ0006168 and were informed that the subsurface system at the
school had been inspected and appeared to meet the construction
standards of the permit.
Since the discharge has been eliminated the subject permit can
be rescinded. Also the subject SOC requirements can likewise be
eliminated, since all conditions of the SOC have been met for this
school.

The third LPP system for our LEA is now operational. Endy Elementary School has been
certified as operational by our project engineer, Mr. J. Thurman Horne, P.E.. Our LEA is requesting that
you now rescind the current NPDES Permit no, NC 0029483 and remove that system from the
monitoring requirements of SOC - EMC WO no. 88-51 Ad III.
The renewal deadline for that discharge permit is quickly approaching and there is no
need at this time to keep the permit in effect.
The LPP system will be operating under Subsurface Disposal Permit no, W00006168,
monitored by the Stanly County Environmental Health Department.

Dear Sir:
Our LEA has received your letter of April 7, 192 levying the stipulated penalty of
$1000.00 for the November 1991 BOD violation at Locust Elementary School (NPDES Permit
No. NC 029424)..
Our LEA does want to submit evidence for your consideration as to a possible cause for the
noncompliance as is permitted by paragraph five (5) of our SPECIAL ORDER BY CONCENT (WO
NO. 88-51 Ad-11).
Reggie Burleson, our operator in responsible charge, informed me that he was collecting
additional samples for laboratory analysis at the identified school for the month of November
1991 due to the first two samples being in excess of the SOC interim limit. At that time and
prior to collecting the third sample, a very carefull visual evaluation was made of the overall
operating factors of the facility and no apparent problem could be identified. The third sample
was submitted for laboratory analysis in November of 1991 and it was, also, above the interim
limit as the data recorded below will indicate.
Profile BOD data for the entire 1991 year at Locust Elementary School is as follows:

An evaluation of the above data alone, seems to indicate that November's BOD is an isolated
incident. In evaluating other data shown below, It seems to suggest that something happened to
the bacteria activity in the waste water system. October shows a small increase in domestic
water consumption at the school followed by a much larger increase in November. PH was
higher than normal in October and both Ammonia and PH were high in November along with the
significant increase in the BOD analysis.
Avg/Ammonia Avg/PH Gals/Water
September/91 11.85 6.85 34,900
October/91 5.0 7.5 41,000
November/91 25.0 7.5 53,500
December/91 11.45 6.65 34,300
January/92 7.8 6.6 37,400
A factors returned to normal in December and have been within the SOC interim limits
since that time. Maintenance work tickets show no repair problems during that time to the
wastewater processing system itself. However, one of the sewer lines within the school facility
had to be cleaned out with an electric auger which is a routine procedure that usually does not
show any significant changes in wastewater analysis. Also, maintenance records show no
significant repairs to any of the plumbing systems that would indicate a major leak at the
facility.

It is assumed that all of the water identified on the billing tickets from our local municipal
supplier did go through the wastewater system and supplied a good flushing to it. Apparently the
bacterial activity of the system returned to normal when the water supplied to it returned to
normal, Our only reasoning for the unusual number of gallons of water consumed at the school
for the months identified is that replacement of a pressure pump during the last week in October
might have dislodged debris in the line that could have caused a flush valve on a urinal or comode
to not seal when flushed, That is a common occurance if debris enters the flush valve unit. It
can be repaired sometimes by reflushing the unit handle. Other times, it takes removing and
cleaning the diaphram or in some cases replacing i1. A flush valve could run full force for
several days if undetected during weekends or during teacher workdays if located in an unusual
place such as a gym dressing room or an exterior athletic/sports event restroom or concession
stand. The problem could have been corrected by the first person finding it simply by cutting
the water supply off at the fixture, allowing the diaphram to reseat, and turning the water
supply back on again. Many of the people in our school system know how to perform the simple
corrective procedure and most likely would never bother to report the incident.
We can identify a water consumption problem. We can confirm it no longer exists, but we
cannot identify a particular cause or solution to it. We can document that normal analysis
returned in the following month as water consumption returned to normal. It appears that the
unusual montly water flow entering the sewer system may have upset the balance of its normal
working chacteristics.
We request that you consider the unusual water flow to be a highly probable factor for the
BOD noncompliance at Locust Elementary School for the month of November 1991.

Dear Sir:
Our LEA has received your certified letter dated January 27, 1992, levying the
stipulated penalty of $1,000.00 for the September BOD violation at North Stanly High
School. lw� piti a
Our LEA does want to submit evidence for your consideration as to a possible cause
for the noncompliance as is permitted by paragraph four (4) of our SPECIAL ORDER
BY CONSENT #WQ No. 88-51 Ad-11.
Reggie Burleson, our operator in responsible charge, notified me of the situation as
soon as he completed his September report for that school. Brenda Smith notified our
LEA in a letter dated November 25, 1992 that her review of the September data had
documented the noncompliance and that enforcement actions could be forthcoming.
Since that time, Reggie has developed the following profile chart for evaluation and
we have looked at it in reference to other documented operational maintenance
activities at the school.
Profile BOD data for North Stanly High School is as follows.

As you can determine from the above data, North Stanly High School ended the
school year in May, 1991 with one of its best recorded monthly BOD averages. The
first analysis on 9-4-91 was 43.8, but still within the 45.0 interim limit. Our operator in
responsible charge, through visual inspection, felt that one of the sand filters was
apparently being used more than the other. He checked both siphoning bells and
could detect no reason for the possible change in operation. However, a cleaning and
realignment of both bells was done. Inspections during the next couple of days
indicated the system was alternating fields occasionally but not on a regular
predictable schedule. The September 10, 1991 analysis was 75.6. Not being able to
identify a mechanical problem with the siphoning bells, the two were removed and
switched to the other's position. Still not having identified a realistic problem with
the bells, they began alternating properly and the next 5 samples collected through
November 6, 1991 showed a steady decline in certified analytical numbers. As a
general rule, over saturation of a sand filter will cause major problems in our
compliance limit and the start up of a system (such as the field not being used on a
regular basis) takes a while to stabilize. Those operating characteristics seem to be
identified above.
We request that you consider the operation of the siphoning bells as a highly probable
cause for the noncompliance of BOD interim limit at North Stanly High School for the
month of September, 1991.
Sincerely,
William E. Frye

Stipulated Penalty Demand
Stanly County School System
SOC WQ 88-51, Ad -I
Stanly County, NC
As you are aware, the Stanly County School System was
noncompliant with the interim limit for BOD at Ridgecrest Elementary
(NPDES Permit No. NC0029459) for February 1991. The interim limit
was 40 mg/1 and the reported BOD was 46.8 mg/l. While this is
obviously a violation, it is this Office's opinion that a stipulated
penalty demand letter should not be sent to the school system as the
discharge at Ridgecrest was ceased on February 16, 1991, when the
new LPP system became operable. Additionally, had the ORC not
collected samples in the first part of the month, this violation
would not have been reported.
If you have any questions concerning this matter, or deem it
necessary for us to submit a stipulated penalty demand letter,
please advise.

Stipulated Penalty Assessment
SOC No. 88-51
Stanly County, North Carolina
After reviewing the Stanly County School System's (SCSS)
response to our 8/24/90 letter regarding demand of payment of
stipulated penalties per the subject SOC, we offer the following
comments:
1. In cases where Mr. Frye comments on an extremely high
BOD measurement at the beginning of a month, personnel
from this Office have informed Mr. Frye that if he is
suspicious about a lab result, he should have the
facility resampled. Then, if a lower result is
obtained it will help lower the monthly average,
hopefully into compliance.
2. As to Mr. Frye's request that the BOD limit for New
London Elementary be amended (increased) from the
current 50 mg/1, it is our experience that the type of
treatment used (septic tank/sand filter) should be able
to meet this limit. The facility is permitted for
0.005 MGD and is reporting flows of about 0.0025 MGD.
This leads to another suggestion personnel from this
Office have made to the SCSS. Since the flow appears
to be only half what is permitted, it is possible that
the distribution lines do not allow for the proper
distribution of waste over the entire bed. Thus, if we
could require the SCSS to install additional
distribution lines, and/or upgrade any of the
facilities which have been experiencing problems, this

would be preferable to collecting the stipulated
penalties. However, the SCSS must be able to prove
that an equal amount of money had been spent on
upgrading, etc.
If you have any questions concerning these comments, please
advise.

the flow parameter as specified in the original SOC. These circumstances do not include
failure by the facility to properly remove Infiltration and Inflow. When requesting the
additional flow, the facility must include justification why this flow is needed and supporting
documents to show what has been done to eliminate any flow problem causes (ie efforts
undergone to eliminate inflow and infiltration into the plant). If the requested addtional flow
is non -domestic, then the facility must be able to demonstrate the ablility to effectively treat
the waste and that the waste will not adversely impact the wastewater system or its
ablility to dispose of or utilize residuals. The non -domestic waste must be sirnular to
domestic strength either before pretreatment or after pretreatment. The applicant must
provide a detailed analysis of all parameters that can reasonably be expected to be containein

Dear Sir:
North Stanly High School (NC 0029513) and New London Elementary School (NC
0029808) are presently operating under SOC EMC WO No.
88-51 Ad. -II scheduled to cease surface discharge on June 30, 1993. On -site LPP
systems were being considered at the time the original SOC dates were established.
Additional soil surveys at each site since that time question the wisdom of going to LPP
systems.
A feasibility study was contracted to Willis Engineers for studying possible routes that
each school might use to connect to municipal sewers by pumping effluent. Approval
has currently been obtained by our Associate Superintendent, Mr. Richard Koontz, to
connect New London Elementary to the Richfield municipal line and to connect North
Stanly to the Albemarle municipal line as was recommended by the feasibility study.
Our educational agency is now in the process of evaluating proposals from interested
engineering firms and contracting for the engineering drawings and specifications
needed to proceed with the plans to connect the schools to the municipal sewer
systems. However, it is highly questionable that the design specifications can be
completed, right of way access obtained from the appropriate parties, the project
properly bid and awarded, and installation completed prior to June 30, 1993.
Connecting to municipal lines will probably be our best option in the long run. However,
that option will be more costly and time consuming. It is currently causing our school
system to have to reevaluate cash flow priorities and time factors as they relate to
capital outlay projects,
223 South Second Street, Post Office Box 1399 I Albemarle, NC 28002-13991(704) 983-5151

Due to the fact that ceasing surface discharge has become a much bigger project than
was originally anticipated at either of the two schools, I am requesting that you permit
our school system to modify the SOC date from June 30,1993 to December 31,1993 for
each of the schools identified. 1 have talked with Mr, Keith Haynes at your Mooresville
Office on this date and he seems to think that such a request would be appropriate for
your consideration based on the reasons identified in this letter.
Such a modification, if approved, will still provide compliance at both schools within
the calendar year. A $400.00 check covering the normal fee for such a !modification is
included. Thank you very much for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely yours,

III. COMPLIANCE HISTORY FOR FACILITY REQUESTING THE SOC
AMENDMENT:
Please attach a listing of all violations this facility has had under this Order. This list should
include any violation of interim dates, any violation of relaxed permit parameters, and violations of
existing permit limitations.

Page 2
IV ADDITIONAL FLOW OR REALLOCATION OF EXISTING FLOW:
Additional flow or reallocation of existing flow is available to facilities that are owned by a
unit of Government. Please be advised that additional flow will be allowed under an SOC
amendment only in extreme circumstances. These circumstances include elimination of other
discharges that are noncompliant with their NPDES Permit or continual noncompliance of
the flow parameter as specified in the original SOC. These circumstances do not include
failure by the facility to properly remove Infiltration and Inflow. When requesting the
additional flow, the facility must include justification why this flow is needed and supporting
documents to show what has been done to eliminate any flow problem causes (ie efforts
undergone to eliminate inflow and infiltration into the plant). If the requested addtional flow
is non -domestic, then the facility must be able to demonstrate the ablility to effectively treat
the waste and that the waste will not adversely impact the wastewater system or its
ablility to dispose of or utilize residuals. The non -domestic waste must be sirnular to
domestic strength either before pretreatment or after pretreatment. The applicant must
provide a detailed analysis of all parameters that can reasonably be expected to be containein
the proposed non -domestic wastewater. The total domestic additional flow requested
is N/A
day.
If a reallocation of existing addtional flow is needed then the facility must provide
justification as to why this reallocation is needed.

Dear Sir:
STANLY COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION
North Stanly High School (NC 0029513) and New London Elementary School (NC
0029808) are presently operating under SOC EMC WQ No.
88-51 Ad.-lI scheduled to cease surface discharge on. June 30, 1993. On -site LPP
systems were being considered at the time the original SOC dates were established.
Additional soil surveys at each site since that time question the wisdom of going to LPP
systems.
A feasibility study was contracted to Willis Engineers for studying possible routes that
each school might use to connect to municipal sewers by pumping effluent. Approval
has currently been obtained by our Associate Superintendent, Mr. Richard Koontz, to
connect New London Elementary to the Richfield municipal line and to connect North
Stanly to the Albemarle municipal line as was recommended by the feasibility study.
Our educational agency is now in the process of evaluating proposals from interested
engineering firms and contracting for the engineering drawings and specifications
needed to proceed with the plans to connect the schools to the municipal sewer
systems. However, it is highly questionable that the design specifications can be
completed, right of way access obtained from the appropriate parties, the project
properly bid and awarded, and installation completed prior to June 30, 1993.
Connecting to municipal lines will probably be our best option in the long run. However,
that option will be more costly and time consuming. It is currently causing our school
system to have to reevaluate cash flow priorities and time factors as they relate to
capital outlay projects.

Due to the fact that ceasing surface discharge has become a much bigger project than
was originally anticipated at either of the two schools, I am requesting that you permit
our school system to modify the SOC date from June 30,1993 to December 31,1993 for
each of the schools identified, I have talked with Mr. Keith Haynes at your Mooresville
Office on this date and he seems to think that such a request would be appropriate for
your consideration based n the reasons identified in this letter.
Such a modification, if approved, will still provide compliance at both schools within
the calendar year. A $400.00 check covering the normal fee for such a modification is
included. Thank you very much for your consideration of this request.
Sincerely yours,
William E. Frye

Dear Mr. Haynes;
This annual report has been developed with the assistance of
Reggie Burleson, our previous ORC, and Harold Abernathy, our
current ORC. As you know, Reggie did an outstanding job in that
role for several years and. I feel that Harold will make all
efforts to continue with a professional attitude sirniliar to that
which our LEA is accustomed.
With "encouragement" from your office, "persistence" efforts by
our associate superintendent, Mr. Richard Koontz, and. some help
from other governmental agencies, the Stanly County Board of
Education was successful in getting both Richfield Elementary.
School and Oakboro Elementary School connected to municipal sewer
systems during the summer of '92. At our request and your
approval, permits for surface discharge at both sites were
rescinded by DEM in mid .September.
On July 14, 1992, DEM approved Permit No.WQ0006168 to construct an
LPP at Endy Elementary School. During the extended time frame
that DEM used in granting approval for this system, a new "drip"
system gained in significance as an alternate option to the LPP
system and very much attracted the attention of our counsulting
professionals for sub -surface distribution systems. Many factors
appeared more attractive including a potential for less chance of
failure in the future, a much lower installation cost, ease and
reduction of maintenance, and better utilization of available soil
on site. A request was made through formal channels by our system
designer, Mr. Thurman Horne and our consulting environmental
engineer from plant operations, Mr. Bob Deweese, to DHS, after
sub -surface discharge came under that agency's authority, for
permission to change to a "drip" system. Mr. Deweese and our
consulting soil scientist, Mr. Tony Jacobs, are extremely
impressed with the new system through both technical evaluation.
and on -site analysis. Our LEA was somewhat disappointed that we
could not obtain approval from DHS for authorization to convert to
a system that will probably prove superior in results and with
223 South Second Street, Post Office Box 1399 / Albemarle, NC 28002.1399 / (704) 983-5t51

less cost than the LPP. Such approval would have allowed our LEA
to release money designated for the, Endy project to apply to
upcoming DEM SOC compliance efforts and speed up those endeavors.
After pursuing the request without success, our LEA has advertised
a pre -bid conference for this LPP project for January 19, 1993
with a bid opening date of February 9, 1993. This system should
be operational by the SOC identified deadline.
A major endeavor on the part of our LEA being directed by Mr.
Koontz has been a feasibility study identifying trunk line route
options, legal factors, funding estimates, and negotiations with
both the authorities operating the Albemarle municipal and the
Richfield municipal sewer systems leading to the possibility of
connecting both New London Elementary School and North Stanly High
School to either one or both of those systems. A feasibility
study by Willis Engineers confirmed our own evaluations that the
best choice of three options for New London would be to connect to
the Richfield Line by running a forced main under US-52 and across
country along Steakhouse Road to a point approximately 7,900 feet
away. The best of three choices for North Stanly High School
appears to be, as anticipated, to cross US-52 and run southward to
an existing manhole of the City of Albemarle at Random Road, a
distance of some 3,800 feet. A reason for utilizing a consulting
agency in this feasibility study was due to the fact that each
route set up various options for pumping effluent and it was felt
that professional assistance could help in evaluating the variable
factors in the evaluation process. At this point, bidding has
been completed for doing the engineering drawings and project
supervision for the projects and it is anticipated that a contract
will be awarded for that component of the projects at our next
Board Meeting on January 19, 1993. Based on the advice of
engineering firms bidding for that work, a formal request is being
submitted to DEM requesting an extension of the compliance
deadline from June 30, 1993 to December 31, 1993. Recommendations
for granting the request are built around time consuming factors
such as securing encroachment agreements from the NC Department of
Transportation and Southern Railroad, Agreements will involve
boring under crossings as well as parallel running of forced main
piping. Mr. Koontz is handling that phase of the projects, also.
During the past summer, our ORC made a survey of the septic tanks
and grease traps to establish pumping needs. Grease traps were
pumped out, scum removed from the top of fluid levels in the
septic tanks and bottom sludge pumped down to approximately 1"
above floor level as identified by the survey and has been a
custom of our LEA for several years. Records of all waste product
removed and disposed during those dates of July 29-30, 1992, are
on file at the maintenance department in the files of our ORC.
The use of Sodium Bicarbonate is still required on a regular
basis, usually daily, to maintain Ph levels at West Stanly and New
London in the mid -upper 6 range.

The Cleaning Compound Study is being submitted as a report by
itself as was done last year. Our custodial supervisor, Mrs. Judy
Godwin, continues to work with the custodial staff and cleaning
supplies to hold ammonia use to a minimum.
The ORC assignment change from Reggie to Harold occurred as a slow
and controlled transition to ensure that the best possible
compliance monitoring efforts would continue with no serious gap
in quality. The transition went from Reggie as an individual
operation to Reggie/Harold as a team operation to Harold as a
individual operation with Reggie shadowing. The transition period
spanded several months and is near complete as Harold is beginning
to feel more comfortable with the assignment and is basically
carrying the ORC responsibility at this time with very little
assistance needed. Reggie will continue to serve in a supporting
role to our efforts as back up operator. Mr. Jim Misenheimer,
Director of Maintenance, planned and carried out that endeavor
very well
The 1992 calendar year had five positive factors in wastewater
compliance for our LEA as two municipal hook-ups were completed,
one LPP system was engineered and approved for installation, and
two more municipal hook-ups are in process. It did, have a
negative factor in that we could not generate sufficient data to
secure a waiver to one of two stipulated penalities, a November
1991 BOD violation at Locust Elementary School.
Our LEA looks forward to the 1993 year in anticipation that
will be a good one in compliance endeavors for the reasons
presented.

Dear Mr, Haynes:
As required by the current SOC for each year it is in effect for the Stanly County
Schools, our second study has been made of all cleaning compounds used at each
individual school currently operating a surface discharge wastewater system to
evaluate the concentrations of ammonia contained in those products and evaluate the
extent to which our LEA can possibly reduce ammonia in the effluent at those sites.
We have been working to reduce ammonia effluent concentrations at the advice of
your department for several years. Our LEA has significantly reduced the amount of
ammonia through the efforts of our custodial supervisor, Mrs, Judy Godwin. She
substituted new products for many of the cleaning products available systemwide
through the maintenance department. In many cases, the newer products having less
ammonia were not received very well by the custodial staff at the schools as the
products did not work as well and created additional effort on their part to continue to
maintain a clean educational environment for the occupants of the facilities.
In some cases where an acceptable substitute product could not be identified and
purchased, special staff development training has been provided by our custodial
supervisor and our food service supervisor in how to dilute the products more
effectively without losing the general working qualities for which a given product was
intended. Assuming that the majority of the diluted disinfectant compound is used to
clean table tops and mop floors and evaporates as it dries, it is anticipated that very
little concentrate will actually enter our wastewater systems. As you can evaluate on
the attached inventory sheet, the 200 parts per million formula has our cafeterias using
one cup of clorox or Tess per week. Our school custodians are supplied no clorox at
all. It was removed from their custodial supply list in 1988.

All custodial supplies are disbursed through the maintenance department and
utilized under the supervision of Mrs. Godwin. On the inventory, you will see the
product identified by NAME and the MSDS sheet (or PRODUCT LABEL) identified
concentration of ammonia, if any. Two ways are used to identify how the product is
being used at each individual school. An "+" is used to identify non -ammonia products
being used at a school and indicates that the product is used on an "as needed" basis.
A "number" is used to identify an ammonia concentrate product being used and that
number is representative of the average number of cups of the product used on a
weekly basis to be diluted into into an application mixture as estimated by the each
school's custodial staff and confirmed by their ordering data.
Individual school data is being supplied, because each school has its own preference for
available products. Some products identified on last year's report are no longer in use.
Seven new ones have been added. If you have any questions or comments concerning
this annual report, please call me at [phone].

The Stanly County Schools has an SOC Revision Request pending that has
not yet gone to public notice.
Please consider the following request prior to public notice: The Oakboro
Elementary School sewer system is to be connected to the municipal system of
the Town of Oakboro. Negotiations with the Oakboro town council by Dick
Koontz, our AssociateSuperintendent, implied that the extension of their line to
our facility and a hook-up was possible by December 15, 1991. To be safe, we
asked for an April 15, 1992 date in our most recent SOC revision request.
Oakboro has had unexpected difficulty in securing land easement from one
landowner. The town officials have, as a last choice, opted to use
condemnation procedures to secure right of way. That process may or may not
be lengthy depending on appeals. Money is approved for the system, the work
was bid and awarded.
Please consider that we are making a good faith effort to meet our SOC
deadline, but are now having to wait on a legal situation that is totally in the
hands of Oakboro officials. Please be assured that the project will begin when
the land acquisition is complete. Not knowing when that will be, our LEA is
requesting that the Oakboro Elementary School compliance date be changed to
December 31, 1992. The system should be operational several months prior to
that time.

Mr. Keith Haynes
At this time we are at the disposal of legal condemnation proceedings that will
be initiated by the Town of Oakboro and currently in a situation that if we push
too hard, the officials of that municipality may just back out completely in their
attempt to help us secure a municipal sewer line.
Thank you for your consideration of this request.

Dear Mr. Haynes:
January 8,1992
As required by the current SOC for the Stanly County Schools, a study has been
made of all cleaning compounds used at each individual school currently operating a
surface discharge wastewater system to evaluate the concentrations of ammonia
contained in those products and evaluate the extent to which our LEA can possibly
reduce ammonia in the effluent at those sites.
We have been working to reduce ammonia effluent concentrations at the advice of '

In some cases where an acceptable substitute product could not be identified and
purchased, special staff development training has been provided by our custodial
supervisor and our food service supervisor in how to dilute the products more
effectively without losing the general working qualities for which a given product was
intended. Clorox has been a very difficult product to deal with. The local health
department continues to insist that it be used in our cafeterias to disinfect with. In an
effort to accommodate our endeavor to reduce ammonia in our effluent discharge and
still operate within a safe guideline to help ensure the health of the occupants of our
facilities, the cafeteria personnel have been provided with a litmus paper to be used in
diluting clorox for cafeteria use. They are currently diluting to 200 parts per million
which is acceptable to the local health office personnel and has significantly reduced
the amount of clorox used daily. Assuming that the majority of the diluted disinfectant
compound is used to clean table tops and mop floors and evaporates as it dries, it is
anticipated that very little concentrate will actually enter our wastewater systems. As
you can evaluate on the attached inventory sheet, the 200 parts per million formula
has our cafeterias using one cup of clorox or less per week. Our school custodians
are supplied no clorox at all. It was removed from their custodial supply list in 1988.
223 South Second Street, Post Office Box 1399 / Atbemarie, NC 28002-1399 / [phone]

All custodial supplies are disbursed through the maintenance department. As
indicated previously, a major effort has been make to reduce ammonia concentrations
in those products. Those products remaining on the custodial supply availability list
that do have concentrations of ammonia are very low and in most cases are products
that are diluted prior to usage. On the inventory, you will see the product identified by
NAME and the MSDS sheet (or PRODUCT LABEL) identified concentration of
ammonia, if any. Two ways are used to identify how the product is being used at each
individual school. An "+" is used to identify non -ammonia products being used at a
school and indicates that the product is used on an "as needed" basis. A "number" is
used, to identify an ammonia concentrate product being used and that number is
representative of the average number of cups of the product used on a weekly basis to
be diluted into into an application mixture as estimated by the each school's custodial
staff and confirmed by their ordering data.
As you can see by the inventory, significant progress has been made in our efforts
to work with the limitations of our discharge effluents while still being committed to
daily cleaning and disinfecting that is so necessary to the health and wellbeing of the
occupants of the facilities.
An on -site review was made at each school site. Individual school data is being
supplied, because each school has its own preference for available products. lf you

Dear Mr. Haynes:
Mr. Reggie Burleson, our LEA'S operator in responsible charge, has assisted me
in developing this annual progress report. The report will reflect what we have felt
throughout the year in that it has been a very challenging year with several successful
endeavors and some activities that are still in the process of evaluation.
In response to Mr. Jeff Fritts's compliance inspection report letter of February 13,
1991, our maintenance department installed effluent flow meters on the LEA'S
wastewater systems. Due to the location of the newly installed units, the shafts would
corrode and make the units inoperative everywhere except at Endy. The original
aluminum rods were changed to stainless steel. They corroded, also. At the Endy
site, the unit could be installed above ground and the shaft was not affected by the
corrosive characteristics of the effluent. Mr. Fritts has observed the units and the
general condition of them during his most recent inspection.
We put two new LPP systems into operation this year. Ridgecrest Elementary
should have been operational in late January. However, several mechanical
problems that included the master control panel and a pump motor delayed the system
from full operational status until mid February. During the delay, we had to continue
using the old sandfilter system which had collected the debris from flushing out the
septic tank and dosing chamber prior to starting up the new pumps. In an honest
attempt to do everything right during that time, we continued to monitor the system.
The debris evidently caused a BOD noncompliance for which we were fined. We have
appealed the issue. Had the new system functioned satisfactory, the debris would
have been properly disposed of with the sand of the old filter at the time of its
discontinued use. Proper steps were taken at the start up of the second LPP at
Stanfield Elementary to assure that we would not have to be faced with that situation
again if mechanical failures occurred during the early stages. The Stanfield LPP
began operating on April 17, 1991 with no difficulties in mechanical equipment or in
establishing proper field pressures. After evaluating the two systems for some time to
ensure their operational stability, we submitted a letter on October 3, 1991 requesting
that the sandfilter permits for the above two schools be rescinded. As of the
submission of this annual report, we have not received a reply.

Oakboro Elementary School is scheduled to be connected to the Oakboro
municipal sewer system by April 15, 1992. Our Associate Superintendent, Mr. Richard
Koontz, completed all negotiations with that town's officials in October of 1991. The
system extension was engineered, bid off, and an agreement entered into for
construction of a line by the town of Oakboro.
Endy Elementary School is scheduled for upgrading prior to June 30, 1993. Mr.
Tony Jacobs, a consulting soil scientist, re-evaluated soil data at the site on October 18,
1991. He confirmed a previous evaluation by Westinghouse Environmental Services
that the site would support a LPP system. Mr. Thermon Horne, our contracted design
engineer, and Mr. Bob Deweese, our consulting engineer from Plant Operations in
Raleigh, are now currently working on the design specifications for that system. It will
be bid off and installed as soon as the design work is complete and has been
approved by the appropriate authorities. That system should be installed well ahead
of schedule.
Richfield Elementary School is scheduled to be connected to that town's new
municipal sewer by June 30, 1993. Work is progressing on their lines and we assume
at this time that the schedule can be met.
New London Elementary, Aquadale Elementary, and Locust Elementary were
considered marginal candidates for LPP systems in the original soil study by
Westinghouse Environmental Services. Additional studies by Mr. Tony Jacobs during
the previous twelve months have basically eliminated the possibility for underground
disposal systems at those sites. Mr. Jacob's "second opinion" became a major factor
in our requesting a revision of commitment dates on our SOC.
In discussing our ongoing BOD problems with Mr. Harold McCarson of
Hydrologic, Inc., he recommended that we add Sodium Bicarbonate daily to our
systems. His reasoning for the recommendation was that if PH could be raised to a
more acceptable level, it would probably improve conditions for controlling BOD.
Reggie Burleson has been supervising that effort for approximately two months. The
schools at which he is doing this are Aquadale Elementary, North Stanly High,
Oakboro Elementary, Richfield Elementary, and West Stanly High. Observations are
that the PH has improved significantly, the BOD has become more stable, and one
custodian has reported that his sand appears to be cleaner and easier to rake. We are
hopeful that BOD compliance will soon begin to show positive results.
We have completed our Cleaning Compound Study as required in our new SOS.
It will be submitted in January as required. Successful efforts have been made in
reducing the ammonia in our products and in diluting those products for which we are
unable to find appropriate substitutions. Several products on the inventory are no
longer being supplied and will disappear from upcoming year's inventories as they are
used up and not replaced. The effort to reduce ammonia started in 1988.
In order to assure responsible scheduled sandfilter maintenance, Reggie
Burleson now supplies a calendar to each school identifying the days that he will be
doing sampling activities and a period in which the custodian should do sandfilter
raking activities. Previous experience has confirmed that his collecting samples and a

custodians disturbing the sand does not provide reliable laboratory analysis. The
calendar provides for a period of time in which he can take additional undisturbed
samples during the month if necessary.
Our school system is constantly aware of our commitment to compliance
requirements. Those efforts are very costly in both money and man-hours. The new
enforcement of the six(6) hour holding time for coliform analysis has complicated our
monitoring procedures. Our contracted lab has reduced the time to five(5) hours in
order to give their personnel set up time. That is causing our operator in charge to
make two trips to Salisbury each week to carry in samples. In the past, it has only
required one trip as he could hold samples on ice over night. That enforcement
activity has placed an additional cost to our system in both man-hours and daily
operating costs. We are trying to keep up with the compliance demands of your
agency and the educational expectations of our community. We anticipate that you
will attempt to provide leadership in time frames that recognize the limitations of
budget priorities in an educational environment.

Dear Dr. Everett.
A Special Order of Consent, WO88-51 was approved by the Environmental Management
Commission on September 14, 1989, for the Stanly County Schools. The SOC was the reeult
of a concentrated effort by Mr. Keith Haynes of your Mooresville Regional Office, M. Ted
Bush of our Division of Plant Operations in Raleigh, and a commitment on behalf of the
Stanly County Board of Education to begin a Six (6) year program of trying to correct
non-compliance concerns at ten (10) of our school sites utilizing sandfilters. Our
response actions during the time frame of the SOC calls for constructing subsurface
non -discharge treatment systems, making improvements as identified to existing
facilities, or connecting to municipal sewers if available prior to the deadline as
established for each site in the SOC. The specific condition of upgrading each site as
proposed by Mr. Ted Bush is identified in the SOC.
The recommendation for upgrading the facilities by Mr. Bush and the time element with
SOC interim effluent limitations as proposed, by Mr. Haynes seemed very reasonable and a
positive move towardcompliance for the Stanly County Schools at the time.
The major reason for all of the above was our being unable to comply with the final
effluent limitations for BOD, Ammonia, and TSS as identified in our NPDES Permits.
We have made a concentrated effort over the last 10 years to continually upgrade our
facilities, spend more man hours in actually maintaining the facilities, changed sand,
added chlorination, added distribution lines, and monitored more regularly (now daily) as
required. each year to the point that the man hours committed by our cuatodial staff, one
of our crewmen todo the actual on site monitoring, and our cost clerk typing the reports
that we now have the equivalent of 1-1/2 full time people per week tied up just in
wastewater compliance efforto for 10 small sandfilter systems!.
My concern is that we ate still having difficOly meeting our SOC interim effluent
limits for BOO, TSS, and FECAL. Mr. Joe Crobb of the Mooresville Regional office did a
very thorough compliance evaluation inspection of our septic tank and sandfilter sites on
December 7, 1989 and confirmed in his report document that OUI systems appear to be well
maintained, in 6oad working order, and that monitoring is being performed in accordance'
with NPDES Permit requirements. Wesurehave tried and still are -
However, our inability to meet what appears to be reasonable interim SOC limits wit
BOD, TSS, and FECAL is a major concern to our compliance efforts. Do you have within
your personnel state wide or can you suggest other courses of action that we may follow
that can help us better evaluate our current efforts and possibly help us better deal
with the non compliances identified above? We are not taking our responsibility and

cnmrkritment to the SOC lightly and have a real concern as to why and how the non
compliance areas can. be so high above the identified limit at one sampling, well within
the limit a week later and maybe borderline the. next sampling period. I have great
difficulty believing that an operating system can change so drastically on a weekly basis
as to compliance analysis.
Anything your office can do to assist our compliance efforts and to help our school
system better understand the wide range of analysis data that is being documented will be
greatly appreciated.

Dear Mr, Haynes,'
SPECIAL ORDER BY CONSENT (EM(' WQ NO. 88-51) establishes atime schedule during
which the Stanly County Schools must upgrade all existing sandfilter wastewater
systems. Our commitment averages two schools per year in the beginning and drops to
one per year as the systems ate anticipated to become more costly, Tfie justification
for establishing each school priority completion date was a soil study by
Westinghouse Environmental that identified tnose sites that are suitable for LPP
systems, those sites that are marginal or less suitable for the LPP system, those
sites, that have a good chance of eventually. being served by it municipal line, and
those sites that absolutely will not accept such a system. .,. have little or no
chance of being served by a municipal line .„ and will probably require major
modifieations.
As we endeavor to meet the commitments outlined by. the 511 document, we have had
very successful experiences insome areas, lesssuccessf,ul in some, and some
unanticipated happenings io others.
The first two schools Ridgecrest (NC0029459) and Stanfield (NC0029441) - are
W(,), successfully operating with LPP systems.
The next two schools - Oakboro (NC0029467) and New London (NCD029408) are
scheduled to be completed by December' 15 1991. In the case of Oakbore, our school
system has offered to help pay for an extension of the Oakboro Town sewer line Lo a
point near the schooJ in order that (he school cyan be served. by that sewer system.
That offer was considered. and acc1 pted. by the Oakboro Town Council. A firm date for
its availability is not yet established, but it appears that. the service will be
available by December, 1991 or as soon. afterwards as the work. can be completed- To
help assure that we take advantage of this opportunity and to prevent our running
over the current December 15 19 't. 1 10 1 am requesting a. four month extension to
April 1.5, 1992f feel you will agree that thiswill be a. much better compliance
effort on our part than an LPP system or some. other. plant modification within the
December 15, 1991 date as presently idnttried. Everyone is now working toward the
December 15, 1991 deadline in 14is endeavor hut all parties involved. feel the current

The Westinghouse $tudy indicaled the site as marginal for a 15 system. 5,11 hat

excess amounts. of water. Those observations causedour school to contract with Mr.
Tony Jacobs for a. second. opinion. His opinion is that the site is not suitable for
an LPP unless first a. drainage system is. installed andanother soil evaluation. is

made in approximately 12 months to confirm its success or failure, 1 am at a
copy of Thurman Horneletter to our school system stating his opinion. as to, the
report submitted by Mr. Jacobs. In lieu of the concernsexpressed by both of them, I
am requesting that you give us an extension of time on New London to better evaluate
and plan there. In exchange for that rtiquest, I am suggestingthat Richfield (now
scheduled for December 15, 1995) be advanced to the priority position now identified
for New London. The municipal sewer system anticipated for the Town of Richfield is
going' to be available, earlier than 1995 and a positive move on the part of our school
system, would be to use current funding' to tie on to it as soon as it. is operational.
That system, is expected to be operational in. 12 to 18, months depending on when
customer s1gnsups. are completed andconstruction actually gets under way. Funding
for that municipal system has been approved and construction contracts in the process
of being f mali zed 1 am requesting the maximum extension of time for this
substitution in order that we can make, that attachment without, being penalized for
the December 15, 1991 commitment of New London that it will be substituted for. June
30, 1992 should assure the completion of the Richfield municipal line and our school
will. be connected at the earliest date the system i8 operational. Good weather can
have the project ahead of schedule- We wilt still be in. the same fiscal year.
If your department grants the two requests identified, it will not be reducing
our commitment to upgrade our wastewater systems during the 1991-92 Fiscal, Year. We
will still be doing the same number of schools per Fiscal Year as originally
identified in the SOC's. With the success our Associate Superintendent, Mr. Richard
Koontz, hadin securing municipal sewer line service for Oakboro Elementary, he has
now approached the St al County Government about "shared funding" to extend onr
sewer lines cross country from New London Elementary' and North Stanly High to hook
onto the main truck line of the, new Richfield System as it comes to Albemarle for
wastewater processing. That response has been very favorable,
With the increased financial concerns of upgrading the systems being complicated
by the facts that, the State Board, of Education is providing no engineering assistance
and, a capable. engineer had to be employed, that our school may be going an extra
expense over previously planned upgrading' by entering into "shared funding"
negotiations to secure municipal sewer service, and that the general. overall
financial problems that, school funding 15 experiencing, we will find it difficult
to complete the previously scheduled projects by the 1995 date identified,
Therefore, our school system is requesting that you provide us additional time to,
fund our prior commitment and to pursue the availability of municipal sewers for New
London and North Stanly High which look positive at this time.
Please consider the following as as new compliance schedules
1) Ridgecrest Elementary- (NC0029459)

Subject: New London Elementary
Wastewater Treatment
Dear Mr~ Frye:
This letter is a follow-up to our conversation on May ]* lQgl.
l have reviewed the soils investigation report and discussed same with Mr~
Tony Jacobs. It is our opinion that the soil conditions at New London are
not favorable in their present state for an [PP system. It is possible that
the site could be made acceptable if Mr. Jacobs' recommendations were fol-
lowed and m drainage system was installed. Even so* at best~ the site would
be very limited in size and might not have sufficient usable area for Your
wastewater needs~
Basically, the site is not a good candidate for an LPP system at present but
it is possible, though fur from a certainty, that the site could be made
suitable for your needs. Considering the great uncertainty involved, it is
my opinion that an LPP system in the areas investigated would be very risky
and should only be seriously considered as a last resort.
Our previous negotiations, engineering proposal and purchase order have all
been limited to my preparing engineering plans, and specifications, for an LPP
system bused solely on the recommendations of the Westinghouse Report that
you provided. In light of the new investigation findings by Mr. Jacobs and
my own personal observations, I do not believe l would be serving your best
interests by proceeding with an LPP design. Frankly, Y would he designing a
system that J believe would not work.
I believe it is your best interest to investigate other possibilities first.
If no other alternatives are found, then you may have to reconsider the LPP
system but, again, this should be m last resort.
I will be happy to assist you in investigating other alternatives but an you
are aware, this would be beyond the scope of our present agreement. If you
wish for me to provide this assistance, please consider the attached pro-
posal for services. This, would basically he an engineering evaluation of
your present needs and possible alternatives. It is not a guarantee that an
easy solution can be found. l would look at possible alternatives and make
recommendations as to what action should be taken. I have proposed a maxi-
mum number of hours to he expended which T think is more than will be needed
but, doe to the uncertainty involved, I could not predict exactly what or
how much time will actually be involved.

The second LPP System for our LEA is, now operational. Stanfield Elementary
School wasstarted up on April 15, 1991. With a few minor problems worked out, the
system was, balanced on April. 16, 1991. We are now monitoring the system and will
request that the permit for the sandfilter system be rescinded an soon as this LPP
system proves satisfactory.
This system, as does the One at Ridgecrest, needs. 1 response from your kaJeigh
Orrice indicating a respensible way of dealing with the upright pipes to be used for
monthly purging". It seems like no one there has any concern as our inquires have
gone answered for two months. Purging seems to present a, potential environmental
problem as we are be asked to dump unfiltered effluent on top of the ground. The
upright pipes and their boxes present a safety problem on the athletic fields where
the LPP systems are located and places a unreasonable liability risk on our
educational agency. as to student accidents. Our original designs submitted Lo Raleigh
did not identify 8UCh a, system as permit specIfleallons later dictated.
Other items of information for your office are as follows:
I) The Town of Oakboro has responded very favorably to our request that their
sewer line be extended to a point closer to 0Aboro Elementary- School in
order that our school can be connected to that sewer system, An engineer for
Oaktbre has drafted a, set of plans for the extension and our Associate
Superintendent, Mr. Richard Koontz is currently negotiating a fair share for
our part of the cost of that line as we would only be one of the potentiaj
customers that the Town of Oakboro can pick up. We do not have an
established date for its availability yet .but it will be worth waiting OH
that option even if it means attachment after December 15, 199i— That is now
the,date that is being emphasized in dealing with the officials there.
2) )1r, Tony jacobs has conducted ahother soil study at New London Elementary'
School a0 io the suitability of those grounds for an LPP system since our
previous study by Westinghouse identified them as 'marginal". His study
confirms. that first report and iqr, Thurman Horne is now studying the data of
both reports as to what. recommendations he will make in upgrading that sewer
system. A LlilP is very questionatJe without, first., installing a complicated
drainage system to control surface run off that now appears to be saturating
the- ground. We may' have to utilize something different there.
1 think we are progressing in upgrading bur sewer systems. We are spending a
considerable amount. of funding in doing so. However, I am very' concerned. as to the
amount of time. that, is takes the Raleigh Office to respond to any manner of concern.

The Stanly County School System is very pleased to report that the LPP
Distribution System for the Ridgecrest Elementary School became fully
operational as of February 18, 1991. We are going to closely monitor its
operation for a couple of months and then contact your office as to an
appropriate time to request that the perit be rescinded for the sand filter at
that site. Hopefully, this isthe first of a. series of successful endeavors to
properly upgrade all of our wastewater facilities under their current SOC's.
Other items of information for your office are as follows:
1) The Stanfield Elementary School LPP system contract has been
awarded to BRS, Inc. of Richfield, NC and is anticipated to be
fully operational within the SOC extension deadline.
2) The Richfield Municipal Sewer System is to go to bid within the
next few weeks and Richfield Elementary School will be connected to
that municipal system as soonas it is operational.
3) The Town of Oakboro is considering the extension of their municipal
sewer enough distance that the, Oakboro Elementary School can become
a customer. Negotiations arecurrently under way between our
Associate Superintendent and the Oakboro Town Council in which the
Stanly County Schools will share part of the cost of that municipal
service being made available to the school.
4) Thurman Horne is currently doing LPP design specifications for New
London, Elementary School. The data should be submitted to your
Raleigh Office in sufficient time that it can be reviewed and a
permit issued in time that we can bid the project and award a
contract by the first of July - the beginning of our 1991-92 Fiscal

MR. KENT WIG
MAY 8, 1991
PAGE 2
The December 14, 1990 laboratory analysis of 84.0 occurred in the first draw of
effluent following the pumping of the septic tank due to an excessive amount of
sludge building up in the system. Following the pumping activity, the BOD analysis
indicated the noncompliance factor. The next scheduled analysis on January 8, 1991,
indicated a 2.7 which was extremely low for the system. One week later on January
15, the analysis data showed a 19.3 which is a near average for the system. We
submit this reasoning as a possible cause for the noncompliance as it can be a
documented activity or disturbance to the system during the time involved.
The February noncompliance in our opinion, is the result of an activity relating
to the installation of the new LPP system at the school. Specifications by the
project designer required a cleaning of the walls and floor lining of the dosing
section of the septic tank prior to the installation of the new pumps. Reasoning for
the activity was to reduce the possibility of debris from old sediments being pumped
into our new LPP lines. Thinking that the system would be operation prior to our
February monitoring, and that we would have to dispose of our old sandfilter
components in a manner suitable to EPA, all dosing tank debris was permitted to
escape onto the sand leaving a very dark film. The factory representative for Meyers
Pumps ran into a start up problem with both the controls and a pump. During the two
weeks that it took to eventually start up the new system, we ran over into a new
month and found ourselves having to continue monitoring. As your office knows, the
new LPP System is working very well, the sandfilter is out of operation, and we will
request permission in the near future to close it down completely if a close
evaluation and observation of the new system continues to be good.
Please consider each of the above as they relate to the December, 1990 oomph&
violation as identified in your April 30, 1991 letter and to the February, 1991
compliance violation that occurred during the new LPP System start up problems,

RE: Response to your letter of September 4, 1990

Everett, Ph.D.
Director
Dear Mr. Frye:
On September 14, 1989, Stanly County School System entered into a Special
Order by Consent EMC WQ No, 88-51 with the Department of Environment, Health, and
Natural Resources therein relaxing effluent limitations at ten schools in the county. On
August 24, 1990, I assessed stipulated penalties against Stanly County School System in
the amount of $7,000.00 for failure to maintain compliance with interim effluent
limitations set forth in Special Order by Consent EMC WQ No. 88-51, The justifications
for noncompliance at West Stanly High School, Stanfield Elementary School, and New
London Elementary School were stated in your September 4, 1990, letter. It's
important to note that the interim effluent limitations contained in the Order were
established after reviewing historical self monitoring data and after evaluating the
existing treatment capabilities at the individual schools. All parties involved in the
Special Order by Consent process were allowed the opportunity to provide input
regarding the terms, conditions, and limitations contained in the Order.
A pull of recent compliance data reveals an additional BOD5 violation at New
London Elementary during the month of May, 1990. The wastewater treatment system at
New London Elementary School is currently operating at one-half of its permitted
capacity. At New London Elementary from January 1, 1988 through August 31, 1989,
there were only three (3) reported monthly average BOD5 values greater than 50.0
mg/l out of seventeen(17) reported months in which discharges occurred. From the
effective date of the Special Order until present there have been seven (7) of nine (9)
monthly average BOD5 values greater than 50.0 mg/I. Discussions with Mooresville
Regional Office staff lead me to believe that this facility is capable of meeting an interim
effluent limitation of 50.0 mg/t BOD5, therefore, I will not support a request for
further relaxed limitations at this facility.

November 14, 1990
I have decided to reduce my initial penalty demand from $7,000.00 to
$4,000.00 and, in doing so, I have agreed to drop the following violations: the BOD5
violation at West Stanly High School for the month of December, 1989; the BOD5
violation at Stanfield Elementary for the month of March, 1990; and the TSS violation at
New London Elementary for the month of February, 1990. Payment by certified check
in the amount of $4,000.00 should be sent to my attention at the letterhead address and
made payable to The Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources.
Payment of the stipulated penalties in no way precludes the Division from taking
a future enforcement action against Stanly County School System should additional
violations occur. Should you have any questions concerning this decision, please feel
free to contact me at [phone],

Dear Mr. Martin:
The Stanly County School System (SCSS) entered into a
Special Order by Consent (WQ No. 88-51) with the North Carolina
Environmental Management Commission whereby operation of the SCSS
wastewater treatment plants have been placed under interim
effluent limits while the plants are being modified.
Under paragraph three (3) of the Special Order by Consent,
the SCSS was required to maintain compliance with interim limits
set forth in the Consent Order. The interim limit for BOD was
violated at New London Elementary, NPDES Permit No. NC0029408,
for the months of December, 1989 through March, 1990, inclusive.

No. NC0029441, for the month of March, 1990.
Pursuant to Paragraph three (3) of the Special Order by
Consent, a stipulated penalty in the amount of $1000.00 is now
due for each violation for a total penalty of $7000.00.
Payment must be made by certified check, made payable to the,

Dear Mr, Gleason,:
STANLY COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION
October 24, 1989
orce
With the start of the new school year., the newly issued SOC's and our
committment to a schedule for upgrading our wastewater facilities, several factors
have played a negative part in the September compliance efforts, An unusual rainy
and windy period of time put our first three weeks of monitoring in conditions, that
found the sand extremely wet most of the time without proper drying intervals and
with constant accumulations of debris left by a combination of the rain and winds.
Hurricane "HUGO" passed through the latter part of the month leaving a
,considerable amount of damages and debris on the systems. Our first commitment was
to secure damaged school facilities and to get them operative as soon as possible so
that, the students could return to school. Due to the concentrated efforts of all of
our electrical uitility suppliers, power was on at the schools many days prior to
homes receiving it. Therefore, the students were able to have warm meals and
'facilities to take baths, etc.
Our crew went through a period of some nine days repairing structural damages to
facilities prior to our attempting repairs to our Sand Filters resulting from
falling trees and/or debris that accumulated in them...
For the reason identified above and also that our lab in Charlotte was without
power and/or phone service for part of that time, we did not attempt to monitor the
last week in September. We hope you will understand our circumstances.
October is a new month and we hope to be giving it our best again.
Sincerely yours,
William E. Frye

Dear Mr. Parker:

It was called to my attention by your department that we had failed to comply
with the Ammonia Study in all cleaning compounds as required by the SOC permit
for West Stanly High School for the school year 1.994-95.
Attached to this letter is a list of all cleaning supplies used in West Stanly
High and also Locust Elementary Schools for the year 1.994-95. The list also includes
the products to be used during the 1995-96 school year. We have been working to
reduce anirno.nia effluent concentrations at the advice of your department for several
years. As you can see from the list, very few products used contain ammonia.
During the current school year (1995-96), we will he using a dispensing system,.
which contains even a lesser percentage of ammonia that the pervious year.
Please except our apology for failing to submit this report in a timely manner.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this report,. please call me at (704)
982-4744.
