Subject: Stipulated Penalty Demand of Violation
of Consent Order
SOC WQ No. 90-12 Ad-11
Bandys High. School
Bunker Hill High School
Catawba. County, NC
Dear Mr. Everett:
I regret my response to the above subject will be close to
the fourteen (14) days time table. but I received your
letter in my office on December 30. Even though it was
addressed to me by certified mail, I was not the one that
signed for it.
1 was very much aware that we would not meet our deadline of
the Consent Order for the two subject schools. A letter was
sent on September 25, 1991, (copy inclosed) stating this and
the reason for our delay. I will try to give an update and
go into more detail for the delay.
As stated in my letter of September 25, we had some problems
acquiring rights -of -way. The two subject schools outfall
lines were funded in this year's budget. Although the SOC
dates were previously set, we still had no funds for
acquiring or buying land ar money for a consulting engineer
or surveyor.
Webegan in early July checking tax maps and land layouts
(elevations) to try and. determine the least expensive and
easiest routs for our outfall lines.
At Bunker Hill High School (NC0044059) we had two options.
The best option would be to use gravity outfall lines. The
only problem here was the land we needed to cross was owned
by a gentleman the Catawba County Schools had condemned some
of his land a number of years ago. The second option and
most expensive would be to pump the effluent across a ridge.
We decided to go with the first option.

With much negotiation using a go between contact initially
then working directly with the land owner and eventually the
land owners lawyer we have been promised access across this
property. This right-of-way had to be handled with great.care
and could not be pushed.
At Bandys High School (NC0051608) we had as many as four
options. Three of the options would require gravity outfall.
lines and the last option would require pumping of the
outfall line. After trying to make initial contacts with the
15 land owners, we turned to a real estate company to help
with land negotiations.
After weeks of negotiations by the real estate company on all
three of the gravity outfall line location possibilities, the
real estate company informed us of the opposition they had. .
The 2 shortest routs each had at least one land owner totally
opposed to us going across their land. We had success with
the third option which was the longest. During the process,
one of the pieces of land we needed to crossd changed owners.
We were fortunate that the new land owner also agreed for us
to cross his land. Our third option even required contact
with DOT since it would require partially using a right-of-
way on a state road.
After we finally had the o.k. from land owners on the two
subject schools, only then could we_begin the surveying and
engineering work. Our surveyor also had to contend with some
bad weather that delayed his work. The engineer could not do
his designing until the surveying was completed.
Bunker Hill High School was submitted on November 14th and
Bandys High School was submitted December 1Gth. It took many
hours of contacts and negotiations to arrive on agreements
for the rights -of -way. It was very hard to explain to most
land owners that you needed to run a "sewer" outfall line
across their property.
Even though we did not meet our deadline as previously agreed
upon, I hope the above information shows some of the problems
that caused the delays. Any consideration on waving the
current penalties would be greatly appreciated. We certainly
do not anticipate any more delays once our plans are
approved.
Yours truly,
a

As per stated in the SOC, whenever we cannot accomplish
compliance we are to inform this division. The two subject
schools were to have plans and specifications submitted by
October 1, 1991, for extension of the current outfall lines
• to a positive flow stream. We have had some problems
acquiring a right--of-way for the two schools. It should only

delay to change any final completion date of July 1, 1992.

Explanation:
Consideration of Water Quality SOC for the
Catawba County School System, Catawba County,
North Carolina
This SOC, EMC WQ 90-12, if issued to the
Catawba County School System will allow two
of the schools to exceed final effluent
limitations for NH3 as N. The other two
schools are included for the schedule only.
Currently the school system operates septic
tank and recirculating surface sand filters
with disinfection. Treated effluent is
discharged into various zero 7Q10 streams
throughout Catawba County. The School System
is planning to extend the outfall line at
each facility to a "positive flow" stream.
The first two schools will be completed by
October 1, 1991 with the other two schools
completed by October 1, 1992. The SOC is
scheduled to expire on December 15, 1992.
Recommendation: The Division recommends that the SOC for the
Catawba County Schools be approved as
proposed.

This report should also include major maintenance activities
undertaken at each facility if applicable. Copies of this
report shall be sent -to the Regional Water Quality
Supervisor and to the Division of Plant Operations.
(f) The CCSS shall conduct a study of all cleaning
compounds used by the schools in order to determine if the
concentrations of NH3 as N in the effluent can be reduced by
using cleaning compounds that do not contain ammonia. The
results of this study shall be reported to the Mooresville
Regional Office on or before January 31 of each year the SOC
is effective.
3. The CCSS shall pay the Commission the following stipulated
penalties for failure to comply with the monthly average effluent
limitations contained in Attachments A-D.

State of North Carolina
Department of Environment, Health, and Natural Resources
919 N. 14ain St.
Mooresville, NC 28115
Dear Mr. Gleason:
As per your letter of February 9th, the Catawba County
Schools are requesting a Special Order by Consent for
discharges at Sherrills Ford Elementary, Bandys High, Fred T.
Foard High and Bunker Hill High. This Special Order will be
needed until we can extend the current discharges in dry
ditches to a positive 7Q10 or 30Q2 stream.
As you know, we have already sent information in trying to
determine a new discharge point.
From the information I received in December, we have
pinpointed an adequate discharge point for Bunker Hill High
and Sherrills Ford Elementary. Our proposed point for Fred
T. Foard can be extended as per Division of Environmental.
Management's recommendation.
Bandys was also recommended to be extended but I would like
to have an on site evaluation for this discharge. The
recommended discharge from Division of Environmental
Management would have to extend through several more property
owners and may become very costly.
The following schedule will be followed if several matters
can be resolved:
1. Funding from the Catawba County Commissioners.
2. We do not have to go to court over right of ways
for our new discharge lines.
Sherrills Ford Elementary, Fred T. Foard High:
July 1, 1990 - If funding is provided, begin acquiring right
of way, apply for permit, design work, and bid
project. Complete both projects during 1990-
91 school year.

Bunker Hill High, Bandys High:
July 1, 1991 - Follow same procedure as above and complete
these two projects during 1991-92 school year.
If any other information is needed, please advise.
Sincerely, i
od

Dear Mr. Overcash:
:As per stated in the SOC, whenever we cannot accomplish
`,compliance we are to inform this division. The two subject
schools were to have plans and specifications submitted by
October 1, 1991, for extension of the current outfall lines
},to a positive flow stream. We have had some problems
f acquiring a right--of--waY for the two schools. It should only
;;delay plans by some weeks. We don't expect our extended
;.,delay to change any final completion date of July 1, 1992.
If .you need,any additional information, please inform me.

;I am requesting permit modifications for the subject schools.
We'are currently under a SOC for the two schools until we
'extend our outfall lines to positive flow streams.
I have included the standard application for permit to
discharge, copies of the new proposed locations and the
'proposed line extensions.
,Bunker Hill High School is now up for permit renewal. It
expires February 29, 1992. I hope this request for permit
modification can be worked in with the permit renewal to not
duplicate cost. We have included a check for Bandys High
School for the permit modification.
:'If you need any additional information, please inform me.
.Thanks for your continual help.
Yours Itruly,
