ent, and disposition of sewage generated
ante ater (sewage), discharged by ccrs ornery flows to the city owned and
operated Clad Creek Wastvater Treatment Plant through a sanitary sewer system
encompassing approximately 149,58 miles of sanitary sewer tines. Of these lines,
approximately 11.34 miles are force mains with the remaining 138.24 being gravity lines.
The force mains of piping ranging in size from 6" to 12" and the gravity lines consist of
piping ranging in size from 6" to 36". The City of Newton operates and maintains
duplex sewer lin stations within the sewer collection system,
Upon arrival at the treatment plant all wastewater is treated and discharged it an
environmentally safe manner in accordance °ith National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System 3PDE) regulations.

Clark Creek Wastewater Treatment PIant, completed in 1979, upgraded in 1992,
2005 and 2010. The facility currently operates according to NPDES permit NC0036196
which includes the treatment of a maximum of 5.0 million gallons of wastewater per day
(MGD). Homes, businesses, and industries discharge their wastewater (sewage) into the
sanitary sewer system. Once the wastewater is discharged into the pipes it travels through
the collection system until it reaches the Wastewater Treatment Plant. The system is
composed of a complicated network of pumps, manholes, standby generators and over six
hundred thousand (651,000) feet of pipe. The Wastewater Treatment Plant is staffed and
operated 24 hours per day, 365 days a year. The City of Newton Wastewater Plant staff
includes 11 State Certified Operators, including 3 employees that hold grade VI
certification, 5 employees that hold grade III certification and 3 that have grade I
certification. This certification is through the North Carolina Department of
Environmental Quality (NCDEQ), and the Environmental Protection Agency. The North
Carolina AWWA-WEA has recognized the Clark Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant for
Operation and Maintenance Excellence.
The Clark Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant averagedaily flow for 2019 was
3.03 MGD. To ensure compliance with all Federal and State laws regarding the safe
treatment of wastewater, the City of Newton appropriated one million seven hundred
eighty-six thousand and three hundred fifty dollars (S1,786,350.00) towards operating
and maintaining its wastewater treatment plant.
II. Performance
Yearly Performance:
During the year 2019, the wastewater collection staff visited all lift stations at a
minimum of once a week. The pump maintenance crew performed scheduled
preventative maintenance and made all necessary repairs as needed to keep lift stations
operating at peak performance. This same year, crews visibly inspected, cleaned, and
applied root control to a combined total of 168,161 feet of sewer lines. This equals to
31.84 miles, which represents about 21.2 percent of our collection system. The break
down to the yearly performance; crews visibly inspected with a camera 5,770 feet or 1.09
miles of sewer main, which represents about . 7 percent of our collection system, applied
root control in 25,303 feet or 4.7 miles of the collection system, which is about 3.1
percent of the coIIection system, and jetted/vacuumed 112,315 feet which is 21.27 miles,
which is about 14.21 percent. The City personnel assisted residents with 83 back-ups
during 2019. The aerial and high priority lines were inspected two times this year; once
in May, then again in November. Lines not visible to the general public were bush -
hogged and/or inspected in the spring and summer months. Finally, the City of Newton
has been proactive by educating the public about grease. This was done twice a year;
once in the spring and once in the fall; furthermore, there are fats, oil, and grease (FOG)
education material on the city web site.
City of Newton wastewater collection permit required a Capital Improvement
Plan to designate funding for reinvestment into the wastewater collections system
infrastructure. 2019 did have a Capital Improvement Plan that the City Council adopted.

III. Notification
The City will notify the users of the wastewater system of this Annual Report by way of
the City Newsletter, the City Web -site, and by announcement at a City of Newton
Council meeting in February of 2020.
TV. General Information
The City of Newton is responsible for maintaining unobstructed wastewater flow in the
City owned sewer system. The line that connects a house or building to the City sewer
system is called a service lateral. The property owner is responsible for maintaining the
service lateral. If a blockage occurs causing a sewer backup, the city encourages residents
to call the city so a crew can verify which part of the line is obstructed. A city crew will
check the main line and clear the line if necessary. If the main line is clear, the property
owner will be notified of the need to call a plumber to clear the service lateral.
Occasionally there are blockages in service laterals that extend into the utility right-of-
way. When this occurs the City will check and clean the line to the "clean out" if
requested. However, the property owner is ultimately responsible for the entire length of
the service lateral.
Why do sewer lines block?
Many things can become lodged in a sewer line causing a backup; e.g. sticks, rocks,
bricks, pieces of broken pipe, string, rags, GREASE, paper towels, newspapers, sanitary
napkins, plastics, etc. Many blockages occur as a result of tree roots growing into sewer
pipes. Roots collect grease and animal fat poured down drains. Over time, this collection
of debris can cause an obstruction. You can help prevent sewer backups in your home
and protect the environment if you adhere to the following advice: (1) Never flush or put
anything down a toilet or drain that would clog a sewer line, (2) do not wash grease down
a drain and (3) report any sewer overflow immediately.
It is a good idea to collect grease in a can or jar and put it in the refrigerator. When the
container is fuII, and it solidifies, dispose of it with the household garbage.
8

The City of Newton has a Grease Trap Policy and a Standard Operating Procedure for
controlling grease discharge from commercial establishments.
What is a "Backwater Valve" and do I need one?
A backwater valve is a relatively inexpensive item that can be installed on your plumbing
system that will help prevent sewer back-ups and overflows that could occur on your
property or in your home. The N.C. Plumbing Code requires that a "backwater valve" be
installed in all structures if they have a plumbing fixture that has a "flood rim elevation"
below the next upstream city sewer manhole. City residents can avoid sewer back-ups by
installing this backwater valve, which is designed to prevent a sewer back-up in the
customer's plumbing caused by a blockage in the city's sewer system. The valve allows
sewage to leave the residence or business, but does not allow sewage to flow back into
the property. (The flood rim elevation is the level at which a fixture, such as a toilet or
sink, will overflow) It is possible that some local homes or businesses that have fixtures
with flood rim elevations below the next upstream sewer manhole may not have the
backwater valve installed. Any structure with plumbing fixtures below the next upstream
sewer manhole is at risk of sewage backing up into the structure. Structures with
plumbing fixtures in basements are more likely to need the valve installed. Residents are
advised that the city is not responsible for damages caused by a sewer back-up on private
property if the required backwater valve has not been installed.
For more information or to determine if your home needs a backwater valve, contact
Collections Superintendent at [phone].
Questions?
Should you have any questions regarding the treatment of wastewater in your community
or need to report a sewer problem, please feel free to call the City of Newton Public
Works and Utilities Department at 828 695-4310. To report a sewer problem after 5:00

FILE REVIEW COMMENTS:
20. Special Metal's Consent Order expired on 5/3/19.
28. Silver over allocation has been addressed by the modification of 1UPs.
35. The POTW performed the SILT inspections on 6/1/18 (Technibilt) and 6/19/18 (Special Metals).
39. The POTW's on -site certified laboratory analyzes BOD, TSS, ammonia, COD, and pH. Meritech Labs has been contracted to perform
metals, oil & grease, fluoride, and TKN.
41a. Technibilt and Special Metals both contract Pace Analytical Services to perform analyses.
41 b. Technibilt failed to perform/subniit pH samples as required by the IUP •(following the 6/I/18 permit modification).
45. The POTW had failed to determine SNC status for Special Metals during the second half of 2018 for COD TRC violations. The Division
has previously addressed this violation through the issuance of a NOV. Note: The POTW had addressed the violations (placing the SIU in SNC
and issuance of a public notice) prior to this inspection.
46. The POTW issued NOVs to Technibilt for TSS (September 2018) and flow (November 2018) IUP limit violations. Special Metals was
issued NOVs for BOD and COD IUP limit violations in October 2018.
The POTW failed to initiate enforcement according to the Division approved ERP for BOD and COD MP limit violations (July, August,
September 2018) for Special Metals and pH lUP monitoring violations for Technibilt (Iast half of 2018 and first half of 2019).
SUMMARY AND COMMENTS:
Technibilt's IUP was modified on 11/11/16 to remove the pH self -monitoring requirement; however, the 6/1/18 permit modification added the
pH monitoring requirement back onto the effluent limits/monitoring requirements page (Part 1 Section F). Whether or not this was an oversight,
once the parameter is included in the 1UP, all limit/monitoring requirements must be adhered to. If the POTW's intent is to remove the pH
monitoring requirement, then the IUP must be modified and submitted to the PERCS Unit for review/approval. The modified permit must also
include the 11/11/16 permit modification on the permit history page that was left off the 6/1/18 permit modification.
The POTW must initiate enforcement according to the Division approved ERP for the July, August and September 2018 IUP limit violations
(Special Metals) and the pH monitoring violations during last half of 2018 and first half of 2019 (Technibilt) by June 28, 2019.
The POTW should continue to make improvements to the record keeping system and ensure all IUPs are accurate and complete prior to
submittal. In addition, the POTW must ensure all LTMP samples are flow proportional composite samples.

Industrial Inspection Comments:
The Company operates 2.5 shifts and employs between 360 to 390 personneL The Company projects the manufacture of approximately
911,000 shopping carts for 2016. The pretreatment system includes the following: surge tank; multiple reaction tanks (metal
precipitation); coagulant and polymer additions; clarification; sludge tank; sludge filter press; and sludge dryer. A & D Environmental
transports the sludge to a South Carolina Landfill for final disposal.
SUMMARY AND COMMENTS:
The cyanide detection level (0,008 mg/L) used by the contracted lab for Technibilt was higher than the IUP detection level (0.005
mg/L)„ The POTW must ensure to that the SIU complies with the lower EUP detection level and/or modify the IUP to the higher
detection level. In addition, the POTW must ensure Technibilt initiates pH sampling during each sampling event andior modify the IUP
to reduce the pH monitoring requirement.
The records reviewed during the inspection were organized and well maintained. Overall, the POTW's Industrial Pretreatment Program
is being properly implemented.

Industrial Inspection Comments:
The zinc phosphate line has been discontinued and replaced by a zirconium coating system. The wastewater flow has been
reduced by approximately 60% with the change in process. Sludge generated by the treatment system is removed as a non-
hazardous substance for disposal at an industrial landfill - U.S. Waste, Inc. in South Carolina. The pretreatment system
consists of pH. adjustment, flocculation, clarification, and sludge removal. Potable water is pretreated by means of a reverse
osmosis (RO) filter system to remove chlorine, iron, zinc and other contaminants prior to use in the coating process. RO
wastewater is discharged to the POTW separate from the process wastewater.

40. The POTW used Meritech to perform SIU sample analyses. All chain of custody 'forms are complete and up to date.
41a and b. Special Metals did not conduct sampling as required by the [UP (four day monitoring event) which resulted in the SIU
being placed in SNC for the January to June 2009 reporting period. Special Metals sampled in 7/09 for the missed event in the
first six month period and conducted their regular sampling on 12/15/09. Special Metals utilizes Pace Labs for sample analyses.
Moretz Mills and Catawba Valley Finishing are not required to collect or analyze samples (POTW performs all sampling).
46. Catawba Valley Finishing was noncompliant for chromium., A permit modification was made to resolve further
noncompliance. A Notice of Violation was issued for the chromium violation.
SUMMARY AND C©MMEN'IS:

FILE REV`IPW COMMENTS:
Question 33: Technibilt has changed the manufacturing process to powder coating only. Employs certified operators to run system.
Question 34: Permit application dates: Catawba Valley Finishing—12/22/04, Moretz Mills — 9/13/04, Technibilt — 6/25/04.
Question 35: Inspection dates: Catawba Valley Finishing — 4/4/07, Moretz Mills — 1.1/1/07, Technibilt — 2/7/07
Question 39: POTW performs all sampling for the SIUs except for metals samples at Technibilt and Special Metals.
Question 41 b: Technibilt monitoring has been reduced to a monthly requirement, iUP still has a weekly maximum limit and a monthly
average limit.
Question 42a: POTW revised the combined waste stream formula for Technibilt and submitted it to PERCS on 7/1.012007.
Question 42b: Special Metals IUP limitations are production based.
SUMMARY AND COMMENTS:
Comments:
Question 7: One SlU/CIU, Engineered Controls, is in Conover. Conover has separate pretreatment prograan (see Conover PCI of
/27/07 for details.
Question 23: Copper MDL is 0.005 rng/I, the data for copper indicates no less than values. The POTW understands that should less than
values start showing up in the copper analyses, a lower MDL would be necessary.
Question 27: R.R. Donnley no longer discharges groundwater rernediation water to the POTW, toluene removed from LTMP. Arsenic
has been removed from the NPUES Permit and therefore dropped from the LTMP. LTMP revision sent to PERCS on 11/12/07 for
approval.
Question 28: The Industrial Waste Survey is continuously updated. The Sewer Use Ordinance has been revised per PERCS letter of
10/30/07 and is awaiting approval by City Council.
Requirements:
See the Program Elements. Review Section of this report.
Recommendations
None, management and organization of the program are commendable.

Industrial Inspection Comments:
Carolina Mills - Plant No. 3 has a small dying section consisting of 4 vessels. Less than 15000 yards of material are dyed per
week. All dyes are recycled for reuse with very Iittle actual dye being discharged. The weaving section of the industry uses a
corn starch sizing for preparing the threads for weaving. The sizing is almost completely used up in the process with only a
small amount being discharged. The other discharges are not process wastewater - boiler blowdown and domestic sources. The
POTW performs all sampling at this SIU.
Audit SUMMARY AND COMMENTS:
Audit Comments: The City of Newton's Pretreatment Program is commendable. The files were all up-to-date and easily
accessible.
Requirements: See the Pretreatment Elements Review Section of this report for required submittal dates.
Recommendations: Issue the IUPs in such a wav so that all the IUPs do not expire at the same time.

(35) A request for more information dated 8/29/2000 was made regarding INCO Alloys IUP. The POTW submitted the requested
information but a response from the Division approving the IUP was not issued. Revisions were submitted on 8/6/2001 and
10/5/2001. No approval letters or requests for more information were issued by the Division; therefore, the permits are final and
binding (15A NCAC 2H .0917(c)).
(38) The POTW eonducts all sampling/monitoring at Catawba Sox and Catawba Valley Finishing. INCO Alloys conducts SIU
monitoring on outfall 002.
PCI SUMMARY AND COMMENTS:
PCI Comments: The approval date of 4/25/2003 for the HWA is based on notes taken by the Citv's pretreatment staff during an
on -site visit by Dana Follev with the DWQ Central Office. The required modifications to the HWA were made in her presence and
approved verbally.
Requirements: The next Industrial Waste Survey is due by no later than 7/1/2008.
