C NALD R, VAN DER VAART
S. JAY ZIMMERMAN
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently published the National Pollutant Discharge
Elimination System (NPDES) Electronic Reporting Rule, The rule requires NPDES regulated facilities to
report information electronically, instead of filing written paper reports, The rule does not change what
information is required from facilities, It only changes the method by which information is provided (i.e.,
electronic rather than paper -based).
EPA is phasing in the requirements of the rule over a 5-year period, The two phases of the rule, and their
key milestones, are:
• Phase 1—Starting on December 21, 2016, regulated entities that are required to submit Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs) will begin submitting these reports electronically, If you are currently
reporting your DMR data electronically using eDMR, then you simply need to continue reporting
in the same way as you are now, The key change is that, starting on December 21, 2016,
electronic reporting of DMRs will be required, instead of voluntary,
Phase 2 —Starting on December 21, 2020, regulated entities that are required to submit certain
other NPDES reports will begin submitting these reports electronically. Reports covered in the
second phase include Notices of Intent to discharge in compliance with an NPDES general permit,
Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports, and a number of other NPDES program reports.
Incorporating Electronic Reporting Requirements into NPDES Permits
The NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule requires authorized NPDES programs to incorporate electronic
reporting requirements into NPDES permits beginning December 21, 2015..Under the new rule, the
electronic reporting process supersedes the paper reporting process, According to our files, your NPDES
permit became effective after November 2013, and should contain the requirement to electronically
report your Discharge Monitoring Reports using NC DWR's eDMR system.
In addition to requiring permittees to report information electronically, the rule also requires permittees
to identify the initial recipient for the NPDES electronic reporting data [see 40 CFR 122.41(f)(9)1. initial

recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities (initial recipient) means the
entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity
for receiving electronic NPDES Data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)]. Permittees are required to electronically
submit the required NPDES information to the appropriate initial recipient, as determined by EPA. By July
18, 2016, EPA must identify and publish on its web site and in the Federal Register a listing of initial
recipients by state and by NPDES data group. Once available, you can use EPA's web site to find out or
determine the initial recipient of your electronic submission.
NC DWR has submitted a request to EPA to be the initial recipient for the following NPDES data groups.
1. Discharge Monitoring Reports;
2. General Permit Reports [Notices of Intent to discharge (NOIs); Notices of Termination (NOTs)];
3. Pretreatment Program Reports; and
4. Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports
EPA's web site will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for each type of electronic
submission for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the appropriate electronic reporting
tool will be available as well.

carefully to unsure thorough understanding of the conditions and requirements it contains.
The draft permit includes the following changes from the existing permit:
Section A. (4) has been added to require electronic submission of effluent data. Proposed Federal
regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs). The
proposed regulations specify that if a state does not establish a system to receive such submittals
permittees must submit DMRs electronically to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
parameter codes have been added to section A. (1) to simplify data entry on DMR forms.
Citations have been added to permit conditions_
With this notification, the Division will solicit public comment on this draft permit by publishing a notic
in newspapers having circulation in the general Catawba County area, per EPA requirements. Please
provide your com.rnents, if any, to me no later than 30 days after receiving this draft permit.

SECTION D: SUMMARY OF FINDING/COMMENTS
Permit:
Spinnaker Bay's permit has been contested. Currently, the facility is
being operated under the constraints of the expired permit (expiration date 4/30/2005).
Operations & Maintenance:
The plant appeared to be well maintained and operated at the time of the
inspection. Mr. John Martin, Operator in Responsible Charge, was very
knowledgeable about the plant and the treatment process. The facility utilizes a dual
parallel treatment train.
Aeration Basins:
Both aeration basins appeared to be well mixed and oxygenated at the time of
the inspection. All blowers were operational.
Secondary Clarifier:
Secondary clarifier effluent was clear on the day of the inspection.
Aerobic Digester:
Liquid Waste Incorporated is under contract to remove sludge from the facility.
Disinfection:
Norweco chlorine tablets are used for disinfection.
Effluent Pipe:
The effluent pipe is submerged in Lake Norman.
Effluent FIow Measurement:
Flow is measured by a 6" Thelmar insert. Horizon Engineering last calibrated it
on 7/8/2005.
Record Keeping:
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period of January
2005-December 2005. It was noted during the inspection that an incorrect permit
expiration date is recorded on the back of the DMR. While the most recent permit is
being ajudicated please put the permit expiration date of the permit currently in force
on the back of the DMR.

Dear Mr. Myers:
Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement established between Heater Utilities, Inc. and the Division of
Water Quality, the Division has prepared new, draft permits for Heater facilities that discharge into the
waters of Lake Norman. These draft permits differ from those that were adjudicated in 2005 in that their
terms have been modified to include those that were stipulated by the two parties in the Settlement
Agreement. Additional modifications have been made to update facility descriptions where upgrades
have been made to those facilities since the earlier permits were issued. These changes were discussed
and agreed to by both parties outside of the settlement framework. The specific changes to the permits
are as follows:
• For each of the permits, 7 days per week fecal coliform monitoring during the summer months has
been been replaced by 3 days per week monitoring frequency.
• For each of the permits, a new section titled "Operations" has been added. Within the section have
been added the terms of the Settlement Agreement calling for L) the installation of turbidimeters to
measure effluent turbidity, with the ability to automatically communicate to the plant operator if a
reading of 10 nephelometric units or higher is detected; 2.) installation of SCADA systems, and 3.)
daily inspection of the plants' disinfection systems and documentation of those inspections.
• Within the permits for the Bridgeport, Spinnaker Bay, Alexander Island and Mallard Head WWTPs,
reference has been made to the addition of dechlorination facilities. Because dechlorination is now
present at these WWTPs, the compliance schedules for the Total Residual Chlorine limits have been
eliminated and the limits will become effective upon the effective date of the permits.

• Within the following permits, the counties to be notified in the event of a discharge of untreated or
undertreated wastewater have been expanded:
Permit Facility Counties Added
NC0060593 Spinnaker Bay Iredell, Lincoln
NC0075205 Alexander Island Lincoln
NC0080691 Windemere Lincoln
These changes have been made to bring the specific terms of the permits in line with the terms of the
statute that the condition intends to implement. While these changes were not specifically discussed
with you, in general discussion regarding the permits you did not object to the condition,
understanding how it was a "restatement" of the statute.
• In addition, please note that where the existing permits had monthly average limits for ammonia
nitrogen, daily maximum limits for ammonia nitrogen have been added to those permits. These
limits will become effective on the effective date of the permits.
Please submit any comments to me no later than 30 days following your receipt of the draft permits.
Comments should be sent to the address listed at the bottom of this page. If no adverse comments are
received from the public or from you, the permits will likely be issued in October 2006, with an
effective date of December 1, 2006.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, call me at [phone],

The facility was last inspected by Wes Bell of this office on April 25, 2001.
PERMIT:
The permit authorizes the continued operation of an existing 0.0125 MGD wastewater
treatment plant consisting of parallel aeration basins, parallel clarifiers, chlorine contact tank with
chlorinator, aerated sludge holding tank, standby power generator, and flow recorder. The permit
adequately describes the WWTP.
The permit for this facility became effective 9/1/00 and expires on 4/30/05.
RECORDS AND REPORTS:
The Operator -in -Responsible Charge (ORC)/daily operation/maintenance log, process control
data, and the calibration log were reviewed during the inspection. The records were organized and
no deficiencies were found.
FACILITY SITE REVIEW/OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE:
At the time of inspection the facility appeared to be well maintained and the treatment units
were operating properly. The mixed liquor appeared to be well mixed and adequately oxygenated.
The standby generator is checked on a monthly basis and is serviced annually. A process control
program consists of dissolved oxygen (DO), settleability tests, MLSS, and MLVSS measurements.
Sludge wasting is based on sludge age. The ORC was very knowledgeable of the treatment
processes and equipment used at the facility.
Heater Utilities' personnel maintain and inspect one lift station (for this collection system)
approximately three times per week. This lift station is equipped with audible and visual and
telemetry alarm systems. Heater Utilities has access to portable generators for standby power.
The facility is staffed with one Grade III ORC. A certified back-up operator has been
designated and is available when the ORC is unable to visit the facility.
LABORATORY:
Water Tech Labs, Inc. (Certification #50) in Granite Falls, N.C. has been contracted to
provide analytical support. The laboratory was not evaluated during this inspection.
The pH, TRC, and DO meters and thermometer appeared to be properly calibrated; however,
the ORC was informed that additional documentation will now be required due to the new laboratory
regulations that became effective on 10/1/01. The ORC and staff should view the Division's
Laboratory Certification Unit's website that contains the technical guidance for field parameter
testing (including proper instrument calibration and appropriate documentation) at
www.esb.enr.state.nc.us/lab/field parmguide.htm. Mr. Chet Whiting with the Division's Laboratory
Certification Unit can be contacted at 704-663-1699 ext. 297 for additional guidance.

Spinnaker Bay Condominiums WWTP

EFFLUENT/RECEIVING WATERS:
The effluent discharge was clear with no suspended solids or foam. The facility discharges
into Lake Norman (Mountain Creek arm), which is a WS-IV and B CA water in the Catawba River
Basin. The receiving stream was not evaluated during the inspection.
A review of the DMRs have indicated numerous TRC values in excess of 28yg/l. Be aware
that a stream action level of 17 ,ug/I has been established for total residual chlorine for chronic
toxicity effects. An action Ievel of 28 dug/1 has been set as the maximum allowable effluent
concentration to protect the receiving stream against acute toxicity effects. Please maintain the total
residual chlorine concentration as low as possible, while still complying with fecal coliform limits.
SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM:
Self -monitoring reports were reviewed for the period March 2001 through October 2001,
inclusive. A daily maximum fecal coliform violation was reported on March 22, 2001. Flow was
not reported on March 31, 2001. An amended DMR will be resubmitted to the Division. All
monitoring frequencies were correct.
All on -site parameters appeared to have been collected and analyzed within the required
holding times.
FLOW MEASUREMENT:
Flow is measured continuously by an ultrasonic flow meter with totalizer and strip chart
recording. The flow meter is calibrated annually by ISI Instrumentation Services, Inc. The flow
meter was last calibrated on 8/27/01.
SLUDGE DISPOSAL:
Sludge is removed by Roberts Septic Service in Maiden, N.C. and disposed at the City of
Newton WWTP.
SEWER OVERFLOW:
Please be advised that pursuant to Part II, Section E of your NPDES permit, and North
Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 15A 2B .0506 (a)(2), any failure of a collection system,
pumping station or treatment facility resulting in a bypass without treatment of all or any portion of
the wastewater shall be reported to the central office or the appropriate regional office (Mooresville
Regional Office 704-663-1699) as soon as possible but no later than 24 hours from the time the
permittee became aware of the bypass. Overflows and spills occurring outside normal business hours
may also be reported to the Division's Emergency Response personnel at 800-662-7956, 800-858-
0368, or 919-733-3300. A written report shall also be provided within (5) days of the time of the
incident. The report shall contain a description of the bypass, and its cause; the period of the bypass,
including exact dates and times, and if the bypass has not been corrected, the anticipated time it is
expected to continue; and steps taken (or planned) to reduce, eliminate, and prevent recurrence of
the similar events. Any spill that reaches surface waters (i.e. any spill that reaches any water already
present in a conveyance, stream, ditch, etc...) or any spill greater than 1,000 gallons on the ground
that does not reach surface waters must be reported.

Spinnaker Bay Condominiums WWTP
Page Four
SEWER OVERFLOW cont'd:
An adequate spill response for those spills reaching surface waters should include an
evaluation downstream of the point at which the spill entered surface waters to determine if a fish
kill occurred. The evaluation should also include the collection of upstream dissolved oxygen and
pH measurements for background information and dissolved oxygen and pH measurements at
multiple points downstream of the entry point to document any negative impact. Failure to report
the bypass of collection system, pumping station or treatment facility subjects violators to penalties
of up to $25,000.00 per day per violation.

The cover letter of the report requested a response to the Laboratory and Self -Monitoring
Sections of the report.
Laboratory
pH - The report indicated that the pH meter was not reading the 10.0 buffer solution
correctly. This buffer solution has been discontinued.
TRC — The report indicated that the operator was using an unapproved gel standard as a
mid -range standard while performing the chlorine instrument check. The operator has
been advised to discontinue all use of this standard and to obtain the proper approved
standards manufactured by HACH. The operator's field supervisor has also been advised
of this requirement.
Self -Monitoring
The report indicated that some of the parameters had missing data and/or errors. The
missing data has been located and will be resubmitted on revised DMR's along with other
inadvertent error corrections.
The revised DMR's will be resubmitted under separate cover.
