Corey Basinger, Regional Superviso Scheller, Roberto 8/18/2017 Site Review of Hemby Acres WWTP, Per 7803 Idlewild Road, Indian Trail, NC Carolina Water Service, Inc. of NC ti NC0035041 Comments.. On August 15, 2017, Roberto Scheller of this Office conducted an on -site visit of the Hemby Acres WWTP„ The site visit was in regards to start-up of an influent micro -screen to replace the existing manual bar screen. At time of site visit it was noted that influent micro screen was removing large amount of rags, debris and other solids in the influent wastewater stream. Research of technical information on micro screens of wastewater treatment facilities found the following information: TSS - may be reduced up to 70% BOIL - may be reduced up to 40% FOG - may be reduced up to 40% Phosphorus - may be reduced up to 10% Concern over the reduction of influent BO© was discussed with ORC, Larry Henry, and it was recommended that F to M ratios be monitored to avoid a plant upset from possible reduction of influent BO©. At the time of site visit the subject micro screen appeared to be working very efficiently and influent was void of rags and debris.

The plant is operating under NPDES Permit #NC0035041 issued December 1, 2013, which expires October 31, 2018, CWS is a wholly owned subsidiary of Utilities, Inc. which owns and operates water and sewer systems in 15 states. CWS is a licensed public utility in North and South Carolina, On behalf of Bradfield Farms Water Company LandDesign is filing an application to NCDEQ — Water Quality Permitting Section for an authorization to construct modifications to the Hemby Acres Wastewater Treatment Plant (NPDES Permit # NC0035041) Modifications are limited to the addition of a model EM10 Eco MATT" rotating belt filter influent screen system manufactured by Blue Water Technologies upstream of the existing bar screen. The EM10 has a capacity of 700 gpm (1.0 mgd) and is capable of providing continuous filtration at the plant peak design flow of 521 gpm (0.75 mgd), Solids are removed by a 350 micron continuous fine mesh belt screen. As the filter rotates, solids deposited on the screen are carried out of the incoming wastewater stream to a cleaning system that uses a combination of hot and cold water to clean the filter screen. Solids are deposited into an integral screw press that dewaters the collected screenings between 20-40% dry solids while screened wastewater continuously passes through the unit, Dewatered screenings will be directed by gravity into a dumpster for landfill disposal. The equipment will be placed on a sloped concrete slab with a concrete channel to redirect any overflow or spillage to one of the existing aeration ponds. No change in the permitted flow or effluent limits is being requested as these improvements do not require modification of the existing NPDES Permit.

VAN h)E:R. rTAART ZIMME.RMAN WOROS 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 2.1, 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(1)(9)j.

We conducted a thorough investigation into our operating and sampling procedures and it was determined that the liquid sodium bisulfite (de -chlorination chemical) feed rate was elevated causing high BOD samples. The chemical feed rates were adjusted and subsequent samples show full compliance with the NPDES permit limits. A flow proportional chemical feed pump has been ordered and will be installed to prevent any future occurrences of the same nature.

Corrections have been made to the April and May DMR'S and mailed to Central Files, Copies of those corrected DMRS were also emaUed to Ms. Donna Hood in the Mooresville Regional Office,, We apologize for this oversight and will try and be more careful on future submittals, LaboratorV The pH and dissolved oxygen meters at Hemby wastewater plant have been labeled as requested. We have spoken to our contract laboratory and they will label the meters with the temperature correction factors when they do our annual meter calibrations going forward. We have spoken to the ORC about the one expired buffer and have put measures inplace tokeep this from happening again. Secondary Clarifier The pinfloc that Ms. Hood indicated are trace amounts, which we feel may be allowable. Our permit stipulates 4S-nn/|total suspended solids asdaily average and 30asamonthly average. Atfull permitted flow of300/]Q0 gpd this would equate to 75 lbs of allowable solids on an average daily basis. Our sampling of this parameter indicates we are in full compliance with the NPOES requirements. As always we strive to operate our facilities with optimum treatment.

We do have several portable standby generators' that are garaged at the facility and of which Ms, Hood say's during her inspection. The generators are used for the 2 small lift stations on Mill Grove Road and for the influent pump station. All of which are equipped with quick connects and manual transfer switches for quick and safe hook up. The generators are too small to run any components of the treatment plant, We are unaware of any regulation that requires this facility to have back up power. Only once in memory has power been off long enough to warrant such a need and that was during Hurricane Hugo in 1989. At that time, we did have a generator trucked in and had an electrician "hard wire" into key components. Since standby power is not a requirement, it is inappropriate that this matter has been listed as a "deficiency" and we would appreciate the comments corrected. We appreciate Ms, Hood's comments and suggestions and thank her for a good rating of the facility, Should you have any questions or if I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me directly at 704-319-052.3 or by email tikonsul@uiwater,com.

We respond as follows as requested; Laboratory Mrs. Hood stated that there was no supporting calibration for the dissolved oxygen reading that was taken on 3/30/2009 but we do have this documentation for the other four sample days in that week. We would like to emphasize that we are not required by permit to check this parameter more than once per week. We continually go above and beyond what the permit requires by checking the dissolved oxygen more than required. The other samples could be considered as beneficial in-house field testing rather than citation for non-compliance. The chlorine meter was dropped off at our outside laboratory several days prior to the compliance inspection for its annual chlorine calibration as stated by the plant ORC. I have enclosed a copy of that calibration for your review. We have spoken to the operations staff about the proper procedures to correct mistakes on the DMR's. We apologize for this oversight and will insure those procedures are followed on future DMR submittals. Qperations & Maintenance We have spoken to the plant ORC about documentation of all process control and upstream/downstream testing. We will insure these are properly documented in the future.

Inc Page two Mrs, Marcia Allocco Acting Surface Water Protection Regional Supervisor Notation was made that chlorine tablets were in the secondary clarifier troughs, This is periodically done to control algae growth in the troughs. The effluent chlorination levels were compliant so we do not see this as a problem. If there is some regulatory restriction to this practice, please advise. There was a note that disinfection and dechlorination are stored in the same room and will make arrangements for separation for best safety practices. Aeration Basins It is our belief that seasonal temperature changes may have contributed to foam on the aeration basins. We could not determine any other causes. We are unaware of any regulation or other accepted documentation that describes what may be qualified as "excessive" foaming allowed on aerations basins. Could you please forward us this information so that we may better prevent future citations?.

We were pleased that Mrs. Hood found the plant well operated. We respond as follows as requested; Standby Power We believe that there may be a misunderstanding in this regard. We do have a portable standby generator that is garaged at the facility and of which Ms. Hood say's during her inspection_ This generator is used for the 2 small lift stations on Mill Grove Road and for the influent pump station. All of which are equipped with quick connects and manual transfer switches for quick and safe hook up. The generator is too small to run any components of the treatment plant. We are un-aware of any regulation that requires this facility to have back up power. Only once in memory has power been off Tong enough to warrant such a need and that was during Hurricane Hugo in 1989. At that time, we did have a generator trucked in and had an electrician 'hard wire" into key components. While we appreciate your concern for the safety of our staff, they have never wired in a generator to this facility themselves nor would we require them to do any work that would put them in harms way. Since standby power is not a requirement, it is inappropriate that this matter has been listed as a "deficiency" and we would appreciate the comments corrected. Should you have any questions or if I can be of any further assistance please do not hesitate to contact me directly at 704-525-7990 ext 218.

FACTORS 1) The degree and extent of harm to the natural resources of the State, to the public health, or to private property resulting from the violation; No harm has been documented; however, BOD limit violations would predict impacts to surface waters by decreasing dissolved oxygen levels in the recieiving stream. Fecal coliform limit violations would indicate possible human health risks downstream of the facility. 2) The duration and gravity of the violation; The BOD limit violation occurred on January 3, 2008. The fecal coliform violation occurred on January 7, 2008. 3) The effect on ground or surface water quantity or quality or on air quality; No effects are expected on ground water or air quality. Surface water may have been compromised downstream of the facility due to decreased available dissolved oxygen. Fecal coliform in excess of the daily maximum permit limit would indicate an increase in fecal coliform bacteria that posses a risk to human health. 4) The cost of rectifying the damage; The cost is unknown. 5) The amount of money saved by noncompliance; No money appears to have been saved by the violation. 6) Whether the violation was committed willfully or intentionally; The violation does not appear to be willful or intentional. The prior record of the violator in complying or failing to comply with programs over which the Environmental Management Commission has regulatory authority; and There are no c penalty assessments against the facility in the past 12 months. 8) The cost to the State of the enforcement procedures.

Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality K. s Aa ' YFt June 19, 2003 TO: �y� FROM: David A. Goodrich V c'l NPDES Unit Supervisor SUBJECT; Total Residual Chlorine Policy for NPDES permits Every three years the State is required by the Clean Water Act to review its surface water quality standards and classifications, determine if changes are needed and to make any necessary changes. This review process is referred to as the "triennial review." Public hearings were held to solicit comments for the 2000-2003 Triennial Review of surface water quality standards during the summer of 2002. The Hearing Officer's recommendations were presented before the state's Environmental Management Commission on October 10, 2002. The Hearing Officer's recommended changes included modifications to the existing standards for Arsenic, Cyanide, Methylene Blue Active Substances (MBAS) and Total Residual Chlorine (TRC). The Hearing Officer also recommended the addition of a standard for Methyl Tert-Butyl Ether (MTBE). All of the Hearing Officer's proposed changes were adopted with the exception of MTBE. The changes took effect. on April 1, 2003. This memo documents the changes to the NPDES permitting policy for TRC limits. Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) Previously, TRC had an Action Level Standard, except in designated Trout waters. The Triennial Review changes modified the TRC Action Level Standard to an Aquatic Life Standard of 17 µg/L The Aquatic Life Standard will remain for designated Trout waters. Aquatic Life Standard —17 µg/L (freshwater only) Trout Waters —17 µg/L NPDES Unit Staff Revised TRC Policy ➢ TRC limits will be assigned to permit renewals and all new permits issued after April 1, 2003. ➢ Facilities that do not use chlorine will not receive a TRC limit-, however, the presence of a chlorine back-up system to augment UV or other disinfection requires a TRC limit ➢ Facilities discharging to streams with a 7Q10 <0.05 cfs (zero -flow streams) will receive a limit of 17 µg/L. ➢ Limits will be capped at 28 µg/L to protect against acute impacts. his likely that many facilities will need to add deehlorination (or use another means of disinfection) to comply with the new TRC standard. Therefore, a compliance schedule of 18 months from the effective date of the permit may be added to any TRC limit added during the current permit renewal. This time period is allowed in order for the facility to budget and design/construct the dechlorination and/or alternative disinfection system(s). The NPDES Unit has promulgated minimum design criteria in order to expedite permitting of dechlorination equipment. cc: Coleen Sullins Regional Office Supervisors (Dechlorination guidance attached) Shannon Langley locoilvpliol JUL 2 4. 7fn; PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY SEOTION] CAROLINA WATER SERVICE, INC.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) concrete liner in one of the aeration basins had shifted upward away from the ground. Wastewater was observed underneath the concrete liner. The ORC indicated that the concrete section would be repaired within the near future. The mixed liquor appeared well mixed and adequately oxygenated. The process control program consists of settleability tests, centrifuge, and sludge blanket measurements. Sludge wasting was based on settleability tests and centrifuge measurements. Screenings are disposed at the county landfill. The facility is adequately staffed with certified operators. The ORC (and staff) maintain three Lift stations equipped with telemetry and audible and visual alarm systems. The lift stations are inspected three times per week. LABORATORY: All Carolina Water Service, Inc. wastewater treatment facilities with NPDES Permits (MRO region) have been issued a laboratory certification (No. 5528) to perform on -site field analyses. The TRC and dissolved oxygen meters and thermometer appeared to be properly calibrated. The pH meter is sta-L rdized with two buffers; however, a third buffer is not verified to be within 0.1 s.u_ as required by Standard Methods, 18th Edition, Method 4500-Hr H. Mr. Chet Whiting (Division's Laboratory Certification Unit) has been notified of this deficiency. In addition, the ORC and staff must ensure that the calibration time for the dissolved oxygen meter is documented to verify the meter's calibration prior to analysis. SELF -MONITORING PROGRAM: Self -monitoring reports were reviewed for the period of January 2002 through December 2002, inclusive. No limit violations were reported. No effluent total nitrogen and total phosphorus were reported for the second and third quarters of 2002. The remaining monitoring frequencies were correct_ Composite sannles are collected flow proportionately. The ORC must ensure that the composite sampling start date, the start and end times, and the composite sampler temperature are documented. All samples appeared to be properly preserved and meet the required holding times. EFFLUENT/RECEIVING STREAM: The effluent appeared clear with no floatable solids or foam. The receiving stream did not appear to be negatively impacted. The outfall location was accessible. FLOW MEASUREMENT: The effluent flow is measured continuously by'a cable type flow meter with totalizer and strip chart recording. The flow meter was last calibrated on 6/6/02 by ISI Instrumentation Services, Inc. The flow meter is calibrated on an semi annual basis. This office requests (for future calibrations) that the contracted company document a comparison of an instantaneous flow measurement to the flow meter's recorded flow rate to verify the flow meter's accuracy is within 10% of the actual discharge. SLUDGE DISPOSAL: Sludge is removed by Bio Tech, Inc. of West Columbia, S.C. and transported to a S.C. wastewater facility. Liquid Waste, Inc. of Charlotte, N.C. has been contracted to removed the accumulation of solids in the chlorine contact chamber for disposal at either an approved land application site (Wadesboro, N.C_) or a CMU WWTP.
