Subject: NPDES Electronic Reporting Requirements
John ClcnnWTP
NPDES Permit Number: NC0080381
Dear NPDES PermitteeE
RMAN
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 (ine.,
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(l)(9)J. initiol

recipient nFelectronic NPDE3information from NPDES-negu/otedDrcVities (initio/nec6oien�)means the
entity (EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated entity
for receiving electronic NPUE5 Data [see 40 [FR 127.2(b)]. Perrnittees are required to e�ectron|caUy
submit the required NPDEIinfo/rnatlun 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.o 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 NPIDES data groups:
l. Discharge Monitoring Reports;
2. General Permit Reports [Notices of Intent to discharge (NOls),- Notices of Termlnation (NOT

Subject: Unplanned discharge 10/07/2014 NC0080381
Dear Mr. Wes Bell,
Thank you for taking time on Wednesday October 8th to discuss with me the matter of the unplanned discharge we
experience Tuesday evening October 7th 2014. As per our discussion that day I am sending this e-mail to you as
requested providing the particulars of the incident within 5 days.
The unplanned discharge started at 12:45 pm 10/7/14 and ended at 8:36 pm 10/7/14 when an Operator discovered the
flow and closed the valve. The unplanned discharge resulted in 25,000 gallons of supernatant consisting of high color,
turbidity and suspended solids being discharged to the creek.
As discussed this unplanned discharge was caused by operator error during a basin dump and we will take the
appropriate actions to address this with the Operator and re -enforce our procedures with the staff.
Our procedures for dumping a basin requires us to decant the thickener to a low level and then close all valves from the
thickener before opening the drains on the basin and washing it out so as to ensure we do not discharge from the
thickener during a basin dump. In this incident the gravity flow discharge valve was not checked and once the thickener
reached an high enough level about 8', the supernatant begin flowing through our system to the discharge point.
When we checked the creek we had a pH of 6.65 and the water was highly colored. We have checked the creek each day
and the pH continues to be normal and the color is improving.
As discussed we will continue to monitor the situation and if we notice any pockets of sediment from the unplanned
discharge we will remove them with as little disturbance to the creek as possible. Also as we discussed since we are the
head of this section of creek when the lake isn't flowing we are releasing a small amount of water from the lake to
maintain flow but not enough to disturb the pool in case there is any sediment that we need to remove. We also
pumped our contact chamber and decant pit contents back into the thickener so that once we did resume discharging
that any residual supernatant from the unplanned discharge would not be introduced into the discharge stream.
Once again thank you for your time and direction in this matter,

Wes,
Thank you for your time this morning. I did want to let you know that I have begun investigating the cause of the surge
and lagoon spill over that we found this morning. It does appear to have happened early this morning as part of the filter
washes and a malfunctioning valve.
I will be filing the report that we discussed.
We have also temporary blocked the leaking joint in drying bed # 9 and I will have a higher qualified individual to
address the joint repair this time.
I hope you have a good week off.
And once again thank you for your time this morning.

Dear Mrs. Allocco:
This letter is in response to the Notice of Deficiency received from theCompliance .Evaluation Inspection
at our facility on November 22 2013 by Mr, Wes Bell.
Mr. Bell conducted himself in a professional manner and we appreciate him taking the time to conduct. a
thorough inspection of our facility and to inform, us oldie areas that need improvement,
The following addresses the deficiencies noted and actions we will take to correct them;
Lagoons
• Additional training has been provided to Operators on hov to handle Iter backwashes if
automatic valve sequencing fails to execute properly and for maintaining proper wash water
lagoon operating levels as it relates to filter back washing sequences. We are in the process of
updating our SOP's to re -enforce these procedures and target levels.
1.)rying Beds
• We will try to limit .spillage / tracking of sludge by reducing the amount of sludge we scoop up in
the bucket of our loader, We will explore using a less aggressive tread pattern on our skid steer to
limit the sludge tracken by it, Any spillage Wili be cleaned up and placed in a drying bed. 'f he skid
steer will he placed in a drying bed before washing, any sludge MT of it so that the sludge can he
adequately contained..
• The leak on the drying bed was due to a failed repair attempt (Wan expansion joint„All expansion
joints will be evaluated and repaired by qualified staff. No beds with perimeter expansion joints
will be loaded until these repairs are made.
Once again I ‘vant to express my appreciation for the job that the Water Quality Section does and thank
Mr. Bell for his time and advice.
I hope that this letter and the actions we will and are taking have appropriately addressed the issues that
are in need of attention, Please call me if you have any questions regarding this response,

Subject: WTP Clarifier Replacement
Good afternoon Britt and Mark,
wanted to let you know that we have a capital equipment project to replace the clarifier mechanism in our sludge
thickener at the WTP. Because it is a pure in kind replacement (no upgrade in diameter or capacity) and no concrete
work, we are performing this work without NCDENR permit. This is consistent with other equipment replacements we
have completed.
Attached is the bid document. You will see we referenced the original construction drawings for the thickener and
reuired the contractor to verify all dimensions prior to fabrication.
We have selected a good contractor (Morrison Engineers) our of Chapel Hill. It is a 360 day contract given the
fabrication lead time.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Re: Notice of Deficiency

John Glenn WTP
NPDES Permit No. NC0080381
Union County, NC
This letter is in response to the Notice of Deficiency received from our Compliance Evaluation Inspection at our facility on
March 17, 2006 by Ms. Donna Hood.
Ms. Hood conducted herself in a professional matter and we appreciate her taking the time to conduct a through inspection of
our facility and informing us of the areas that need improvement.
The following addresses the deficiencies noted and actions we will take to correct them
General
• The storm drain located in the vicinity of the sludge drying beds has been temporally blocked off and is scheduled to
be permanently taken out service by our construction division.
Drying Beds
• New material has been purchased for the replacement of the slide gates and will be immediately installed in the
empty beds and the other gates will be replaced as the beds come available.
Dechlorination
• We feel that the ventilation arrangement in our Sulfur Dioxide building. is correct. The building has a .12,"x 12"
exhaust vent located 8" from floor on one wall with an air intake fan located near the ceiling on the opposite wall. In
the event of a SO2 leak, this configuration allows fresh air to be drawn in and past the breathing zone of an operator,
forcing out any accumulated SO2 gas that will be near the floor due to its density (2.5 times greater than air). This
was the configurationrecommended and supplied by the vendor of this package system.
Once agouti want to express my appreciation for the job that the DWQ does and thank Ms. Hood for her time and advice.
I hope that this letter and the actions we will and are taking have appropriately addressed the issues that are in need of
attention, 'Please call me if you have any questions regarding this response.

SECTION D: SUMMARY OF FINDING/COMMENTS
Permit:
The City of Monroe WTP NPDES Permit is effective 2/1/2004-1/31/2009. A
Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) limit became effective on 8/1/2005. Authorization to
Construct # 080381A0 1 was issued for the addition of the dechlorination facility.
Record Keeping:
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period of January
-December 2005. No violations were reported for the review period.
Laboratory:
Pace Analytical Labs (Certification #12) and the City of Monroe WWTP
Laboratory (Certification #206) conducts all required analyses.
Drying Beds:
Slide gates on all 18 of the drying beds were in disrepair.
Dechlorination:
The ventilation fan appears to be improperly installed in the dechlorination
facility.
Effluent Flow Measurement:
Carolina Technical Services last calibrated the effluent flow meter on
10/6/2005.
General:
A storm drain is located in the vicinity of the sludge drying beds. Sludge was
observed in this storm drain in the course of the inspection. Because of its central
location to all of the drying beds, this Office recommends that the storm drain be
taken out of service or the stormwater be piped to the sludge lagoon.

RE: Notice of Deficiency
Compliance Evaluation inspection
John Glenn WTP
NPDES Permit No. NC0080381
Union County, NC
Dear Mr. Bridgeman:
APR 1 3 2004
VitATER QUAD SECTION
This letter is in response to the Notice of Deficiency resulting from the Compliance Evaluation
Inspection of our facility on March 23, 2004.
Mr. Wes Bell conducted himself in a professional manner, and we appreciate his thorough
inspection of our facility. He has informed us of the areas in need of improvement.
The following addresses the deficiencies noted by Mr. Bell, and the corrective actions taken to
resolve them and prevent their reoccurrence:
Operations & Maintenance
o The chemical unloading area has been cleaned up and all open containers
have been disposed of. This area will be inspected after each chemical
delivery and cleaned up as needed. -
o . The City of Monroe is building a shelter over the area that will limit rain water
influence and enlarge the containment area. It will also aid in capturing spills
or splashes of chemicals that are inherent to the bulk chemical fill station.
o Any chemical spilled will be disposed of property and not allowed to impact
the surrounding area.
kb\WR\RusselllCorrespondence\Richard Bridgeman NCDENR-DWQ Response to Deficiency Notification 4-08-
04.doc

I
Drying Beds
o The gates will remain in the front of the drying beds until they are cleaned.
This will ensure that the sludge or potential runoff during a rain event will not
be allowed to leave the drying bed.
Effluent Pipe
o The characteristics of ferric chloride residue lend themselves to a slightly
reddish orange color. We have been working with our ferric suppliers and
several chemical companies to find a way to remove the bulk of the color.
o The residual sludge has been cleaned up.
o We believe sludge accumulation occurred during a recent basin dump
operation, and we at the John Glenn Water Plan feel that it is an unacceptable
event and have taken the following actions to prevent its reoccurrence:
1. A sign has been placed at the thickener to remind the operators at
what level each discharge hole is located, in order to aid them in selecting
the proper level to discharge from depending upon the sludge
depth and plant operation.
2. An operator log has been developed, requiring each shift to note
the status of the thickener's operation and sludge level. The log
includes the status of the valuing arrangement, including the
thickener, drying beds, and decant station. It also includes the
sludge depth of the thickener, effluent characteristics, and the
wash water lagoon pump status.
3. A sludge judge is readily available at the thickener at all times in
order to expedite sludge measurement.
4. A lightweight lid is in place on the parshall flume, and a
polyethylene dipper is stationed there to ease in monitoring of the
effluent.
In addition to the above, we are planning to upgrade our sludge removal system in our basins to
limit the impact a basin dump will have on our thickener and its associated operation.
Once again, I want to express my appreciation for the job that the DWQ does, and thank Mr.
Bell for his time and advice.
I trust that the actions outlined in this letter have addressed the deficiencies noted in your
Compliance Report.
Respectfully,
LQ.Q.,i-c-my

SUBJECT: Total Residual Chlorine Policy for NPDES permiis
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
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 <0.0S cfs (zero -flow streams) will receive a limit of 17 µg/L.
➢ Limits will be capped at 28 pg/L to protect against acute impacts.
It is likely that many facilities will need to add dechlorination (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.

Summary
This facility is a conventional WTP using aluminum sulfate. Correspondence files for 2002 are missing
and files for 2001 and 2003 show no NOV/NOD's and no Compliance Evaluation Inspections results.
I reviewed DMRs for the period January 2001 — August 2003. Turbidity was above the 50NTU limit in
the current permit only once, and then the turbidity downstream was no higher than upsteam. No
effluent violations were noted. The range for TRC was 0.0-0.54 mg/I. For iron, it was <0.05-10.0
mg/I. Aluminum ranged from <0.1-10.0 mg/I. Although pH levels were not limited by the permit,
levels were recorded and always measured 6-9 standard units.
Per division policy for total residual chlorine, I have added a TRC limit to this permit. I limited it at
28pg/I rather than 17pg/i due to the fact that it is apparent that much dilution is available(although it
cannot be calculated exactly how much since no permitted flow is stipulated).
The receiving stream is not listed in the 303d.

STANDARD CONDITIONS FOR NPDES PERMITS
SECTION' A. DEFINITIONS
1. Permit Issuing Authority
The Director of the Division of Environmental Management.
2. pEM or Division
Means.the Division of Environmental Management, Department of Environment, Health and
Natural Resources.
3.$MC
Used herein means the North Carolina Environmental Management Commission.
4. Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act, as amended, 33
USC 1251, et. seq.
5. MasslPay Measurements
a. The "monthly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges
sampled and/or measured during a calendar month on which daily discharges are sampled
and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during
such month. It is therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the. weights of the
pollutant found each day of the month and then dividing this sum by the number of days
the tests were reported. The limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" in Part I of the
permit.
b. The "weekly average discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar week (Sunday - Saturday) on which daily discharges
are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or
measured during such week. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the
weights of pollutants found each day of the week and then dividing this sum by the
number of days the tests were reported. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average"
in Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily discharge" is the total mass (weight)•of a pollutant discharged during
a calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the weight of pollutant
calculated from it is the "maximum daily discharge." This limitation is identified as "Daily
Maximum," in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual discharge" is defined as the total mass of all daily discharges sampled
and/or measured during the calendar year on which daily discharges are sampled and
measured, divided by the number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such
year. It is, therefore, an arithmetic mean found by adding the weights of pollutants found
each day of the year and then dividing this sum by the number of days the tests were
reported. This limitation is defined as "Annual Average" in Part I of the permit.

Part II
Page 2 of 14
6. Concentration Measurement
a. The "average monthly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of
the concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar month
on which daily discharges are sampled and measured, divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such month (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average monthly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar month. This limitation is identified as "Monthly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
b. The "average weekly concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar week
(Sunday/Saturday) on which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the
number of daily discharges sampled and/or measured during such week (arithmetic mean of
the daily concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration
of a composite sample or in the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by
flow value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day. The average weekly count
for fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during
a calendar week. This limitation is identified as "Weekly Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
c. The "maximum daily concentration" is the concentration of a pollutant discharge during a
calendar day. If only one sample is taken during any calendar day the concentration of
pollutant calculated from it is the "Maximum Daily Concentration". It is identified as
"Daily Maximum" under "Other Limits" in Part I of the permit.
d. The "average annual concentration," other than for fecal coliform bacteria, is the sum of the
concentrations of all daily discharges sampled and/or measured during a calendar year on
which daily discharges are sampled and measured divided by the number of daily
discharges sampled and/or measured during such year (arithmetic mean of the daily
concentration values). The daily concentration value is equal to the concentration of a
composite sample orin the case of grab samples is the arithmetic mean (weighted by flow
value) of all the samples collected during that calendar day . The average yearly count for
fecal coliform bacteria is the geometric mean of the counts for samples collected during a
calendar year. This limitation is identified as "Annual Average" under "Other Limits" in
Part I of the permit.
e. The "daily average concentration" (for dissolved oxygen) is the minimum allowable amount
of dissolved oxygen required to be available in the effluent prior to discharge averaged
over a calendar day. If only one dissolved oxygen sample is taken over a calendar day, the
sample is considered to be the "daily average concentration" for the discharge. It is
• identified as "daily average" in the text of Part I.
f. The "quarterly average concentration" is the average of all samples taken over a calendar
quarter. It is identified as "Quarterly Average Limitation" in the text of Part I of the permit.
g. A calendar quarter is defined as one of the following distinct periods: January through
March, April through June, July through September, and October through December.

7. Other Measurements
a. Flow, (MGD): The flow limit expressed in this permit is the 24 hours average flow,
averaged monthly. It is determined as the arithmetic mean of the total daily flows recorded
during the calendar month.
b. An "instantaneous flow measurement" is a measure of flow taken at the time of sampling,
when both the sample and flow will be representative of the total discharge.
c. A continuous flow measurement" is a measure of discharge flow from the facility which
occurs continually without interruption throughout the operating hours of the facility. Flow
shall be monitored continually except for the infrequent tunes when there may be no flow
or for infrequent maintenance activities on the flow device.
8. Types of Samples
a. Composite. Sample: A composite sample shall consist of:
(1) a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over a 24 hour period of
discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time of
individual sample collection, or
(2) a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24 hour period with the time
intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons passing the
sampling point. Row measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by
use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the present gallon interval between sample
collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment
system, or
(3) a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the rate of
flow.
In accordance with (1) above, the time interval between influent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour, and the time interval between effluent grab samples shall be no
greater than once per hour except at wastewater treatment systems having a detention time
of greater than 24 hours. In such cases, effluent grab samples may be collected at time
intervals evenly spaced over the 24 hour period which are equal in number of hours to the
detention time of the system in number of days. However, in no case may the time interval
between effluent grab samples be greater than six (6) hours nor the number of samples less
than four (4) during a 24 hour sampling period.
b. Grab Sample: Grab samples are individual samples collected over a period of time not
exceeding 15 minutes; the grab sample can be taken manually. Grab samples must be
representative of the discharge or the receiving waters.
9. Calculation of Means
a Arithmetic Mean: The arithmetic mean of any set of values is the summation of the
individual values divided by the number of individual values.
b. Geometric Mean: The geometric mean of any set of values is the Nth root of the,product of
the individual values where N is equal to the number of individual values. The geometric
mean is equivalent to the antilog of the arithmetic mean of the logarithms of the individual
values. For purposes of calculating the geometric mean, values of zero (0) shall be
considered to be one (1).

Part II
Page 4 of 14
c. Weighted by Flow Value: Weighted by flow value means the summation of each
concentration times its respective flow divided by the summation of the respective flows.
10. Calendar Day
A calendar day is defined as the period from midnight of one day until midnight of the next
day. However, for purposes of this permit, any consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably
represents the calendar clay may be used for sampling.
11. jiazardoys Substance
A hazardous substance means any substance designated under 40 CFR Part 116 pursuant to
Section 311 of the Clean Water Act.
12. Toxic Pollutant
A toxic pollutant is any pollutant listed as toxic under Section 307(a)(I) of the Clean Water Act.

b. Bypass not exceeding limitations.
The permittee may allow any bypass to occur which does not cause effluent limitations to
be exceeded, but only if it also is for essential maintenance to assure efficient operation.
These bypasses are not subject to the provisions of Paragraphs c. and d. of this section.
c. Notice
(1) Anticipated bypass. If the permitter knows in advance of the need for a bypass, it
shall submit prior notice, if possible at least ten days before the date of the bypass;
including an evaluation of the anticipated quality and affect of the bypass.
(2) Unanticipated bypass. The permittee shall submit notice of an unanticipated bypass as
required in Part II, E. 6. of this permit. (24 hour notice).
d. Prohibition of Bypass
(1) Bypass is prohibited and the Permit Issuing Authority may take enforcement action
against a permittee for bypass, unless:

damage;
(B) There were no feasible alternatives to the bypass, such as the use of auxiliary
treatment facilities, retention of untreated wastes or maintenance during normal

Part II
Page 9 of 14
periods of equipment downtime. This condition is not satisfied if adequate backup
equipment should have been installed in the exercise of reasonable engineering
judgment to prevent a bypass which occurred during normal periods of equipment
downtime or preventive maintenance; and
(C) The permittee submitted notices as requited under Paragraph c. of this section.
(2) The Permit Issuing Authority may approve an anticipated bypass, after considering its
adverse affects, if the Permit Issuing Authority determines that it will meet the three
conditions listed above in Paragraph d. (1) adds section.
5. Upsets
a. Definition.
"Upset " means an exceptional incident in which there is unintentional and temporary
noncompliance with technology based permit effluent limitations because of factors
beyond the reasonable control of the permittee. An upset does not include noncompliance
to the extent caused by operational error, improperly designed treatment facilities,
inadequate treatment facilities, lack of preventive maintenance, or careless or improper
operation.
b. Effect of an upset.
An upset constitutes an affirmative defense to an action brought for noncompliance with
such technology based permit effluent limitations if the requirements of paragraph c. of this
condition are met. No determination made during administrative review of claims that
noncompliance was caused by upset, and before an action for noncompliance, is final
administrative action subject to judicial review. •
c. Conditions necessary for a demonstration of upset.
A permittee who wishes to establish the affirmative defense of upset shall demonstrate,
through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other relevant evidence that:
(1) An upset occurred and that the permittee can identify the cause(s) of the upset;
(2) The permittee facility was at the time being properly operated; and
(3) The permittec submitted notice of the upset as required in Part II, E. 6. (b) (B) of this
permit.

control of wastewaters shall be utilized/disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1 and in
a manner such as to prevent any pollutant from such materials from entering waters of the State
or navigable waters of the United States. The penmittee shall comply with all existing federal

Part l l
Page 10 of 14
regulations governing the disposal of sewage sludge. Upon promulgation of 40 CFR Part 503,
any permit'issued by the Permit Issuing Authority for the utilization/disposal of sludge may be
reopened and modified, or revoked and reissued, to incorporate applicable requirements at 40
CFR Part 503. The pertriittee shall comply with applicable 40 CFR Pan 503 Standards for the
Use and Disposal of Sewage Sludge (when promulgated) within the time provided in the
regulation, even if the permit is not modified to incorporate the requirement. The permittee
shall notify the Permit Issuing Authority of any significant change in its sludge use or disposal
practices.
7. Poyver Failures
The permittee is responsible for maintaining adequate safeguards as required by DEM
Regulation, Title 15A, North Carolina Administrative Code, Subchapter 2H, .0124 Reliability,
to prevent the discharge of untreated or inadequately treated wastes during electrical power
failures either by means of alternate power sources, standby generators or retention of
inadequately treated effluent.
SECTION D. MONITORING AND RECORDS

RE: Land Application Permit WQ0001346
Intent to Initiate Land Application of Alum Sludge from John Glenn Water Treatment Plant
NPDES Permit NC0080381
Dear Mr. Gleason:
The City of Monroe holds a non -discharge permit WQ0001346 issued..July 1994 which authorizes
the land application of residuals from both the Monroe WWTP (estimated 2,044 dry tons/year)
and the John Glenn Water Treatment Plant (estimated 395 dry tons/year). To date, the City has
applied residuals from the WWTP under this permit but has continued to dispose of "dewatered"
water plant residuals at the existing Union County Sanitary Landfill on Austin -Chaney Road.
The incorporation of authority to land apply residuals from our water treatment plant was the first
planning step toward changing our method of disposal of water plant residuals from landfill
disposal to land application. Further planning has been completed since that time. In the spring
of 1997, the City of Monroe entered into a contract with Amsco, Inc. for continued land
application. A provision of this contract authorizes the City of Monroe to transport water plant
residuals after "dewatering" to the WWTP and stockpile these residuals on cake storage pads
within the boundary of the WWTP sludge drying beds. Amsco is then contractually required to
uniformly blend the water plant residuals with WWTP residuals and land apply the blended
residuals in accordance with the requirements of WQ0001346 and in a manner acceptable to the
land owners. Storage time limitations of NCDWQ must also be consistently met.
The City of Monroe submitted a request for Authorization to Construct in November 1997 to
convert four drying beds at the WWTP to concrete storage pads while retaining the existing
underdrain system to appropriately treat any leachate from the stored pads through the WWTP
process. I am informed as of December 8, 1997 from Mr. Thomas Zellnik of the NPDES Group
that this A/C request has been approved. We are preparing to complete this construction work by
December 31, 1997.

Mr. D. Rex Gleason
December 10, 1997
Page 2
I received confirmation on November 25, 1997 from Mr. Mike Shalati of Union County that the
Union County Sanitary Landfill will permanently close on December 31, 1997, thereby eliminating
the option for its continued use for disposal of water plant residuals.
As a courtesy, we are notifying you that it is the intent of the City of Monroe to initiate
incorporation of water plant residuals into our land application program effective January 1, 1998.
We intend to comply with the annual monitoring requirements of the land application permit
pertaining to the water plant residuals for 1998 as well as continue to comply with all other permit
provisions. We will also provide an Engineer's Certificate of Completion under the current A/C
before beginning to stockpile residuals on the pads.
I appreciate your assistance and the assistance of Mr. Mike Parker of your office in consultation
and review of our recent A/C request.
If you have any questions regarding this letter, please call me at [phone].
