Agency dated October 15, 2007, or as subsequently amended.
The Division understands that you have made no significant changes to your facility the last permit renewal.
We have made the following updates to your previous permit:
• added updates to facility map and parameter codes
• quarterly Mercury monitoring is included to provide a database for future mercury management
• corrected the receiving stream to Jakes Branch [Stream Segment 9-53-9].
• added a Special Condition A.(3.) for an implementation plan for elimination of discharge. The
permittee shall contact the Division within 30 days of any elimination or transfer of discharge. The
permittee shall report annually to the Mooresville Regional Office the status of any implementation

If a permittee is unable to use the eDMR system due to a demonstrated hardship or due to the facility
being physically located in an area where less than 10 percent of the households have broadband
access, then a temporary waiver. from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements may be granted
and discharge monitoring data may be submitted on paper DMR forms (MR 1, 1.1, 2, 3) or
alternative forms approved by the Director. Duplicate signed copies shall be submitted to the
mailing address above.
Requests for temporary waivers from the NPDES electronic reporting requirements must be
submitted in writing to the Division for written approval at least sixty (60) days prior to the date the
facility would be required under this permit to begin using eDMR. Temporary waivers shall be valid

The permit application from 2013 notes a desire to change discharge to old Grover Industries WWTP and our
staff report notes they may also enter an agreement to send the Town's wastewater to the City of Kings
Mountain. Do we want to add a special condition that the Town keep the Division updated on their plans going
forward for their preferred choice? This was noted as a comment in our staff report.

Stream — Discharge from WWTP for outfall 001 is into Jakes Branch [Stream Segment 9-53-9]. The
segment is not list in the 2012 North Carolina Integrated report. The previous permit had outfall 001
discharging to an unnamed tributary to Buffalo Creek [Stream Segment 9-53-(3)]. Jakes Branch was not
indicated on the USGS topo quadrate Grover, NC as being named. However, GIS mapping indicated that
this stream is named Jakes Branch [see attached map].
RPA — A Reasonable Potential Analysis (RPA) was not applicable for any parameters for this permit
renewal.
Implementation of 2012 Statewide Mercury TMDL — Grover WWTP was not required to sample for
mercury in the previous permit. Quarterly Monitoring for Mercury is added to the permit.

at this time.
f. Possible toxic impacts to surface waters: Chlorine is used for disinfection.
PART III - OTHER PERTINENT INFORMATION
1. Special monitoring or limitations (including toxicity) requests: The Town has not
requested any changes to their current effluent limitations at this time nor does the RO
recommend any changes to the current limitations.
PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The Town of Grover (the Town) is requesting renewal the subject, which will expire on August
31, 2013. There have been no changes in the WWTP components or operation of the current
wastewater treatment facility since the permit was last renewed. The existing WWTP has been
in operation for many years and the integrity of the existing tankage is beginning to show signs of
deterioration (the Town has not prepared a cost estimate for repairs). Rather than replace the
existing WWTP, the Town, is considering two long-term disposal options: construct a PS and
send all wastewater to the former Grover Industries WWTP (closed since 2009) or enter into an
agreement that would send the Town's wastewater to the Town of Kings Mountain for treatment
and disposal. This option would require the construction of a new lift station, and the cleaning
and replacement of pumps and other appurtenances at the Grover Industries WWTP.
Mooresville office staff (Michael Parker and Sujatha Nagulapally) met with the ORC (Mike
Church) and other Town staff on July 2, 2013, and toured both the Town's WWTP and the
former Grover Industries treatment facility.
From discussions with the Town staff present during the site visit, the connection with Kings
Mountain was preferred over the option to reopen the Grover Industries WWTP. The Pilot Creek
WWTP is located few miles away from the existing Grover WWTP and has a capacity of 6.0
MGD. At the present time, only about 20% of this capacity is being used, so the Pilot Creek
WWTP has sufficient capacity to accept the additional flow of 0.38 MGD from Town of Grover.

Page Three
Although both disposal options appear to be viable options for the Town, the connection to the
City of Kings Mountain would help from a regionalization stand point and in the long run may be
the most economical and practical decision for the Town. If the Town chooses to re -open the old
Grover Industries WWTP, the discharge will enter a much larger receiving stream than where the
Town currently discharges into.
Until such time as a final decision is made on which long-term disposal option the Town will
choose, this Office has no specific objection to the re -permitting of the old Grover Industries
WWTP and recommended that an NPDES permit be issued as requested. Prior to permit
issuance, the Town should provide the Division an update on where negotiations stand with
regards to a possible connection with Kings Mountain.

Subject: RE: Town of Grover WWTP Status
Path Forward:
• Town of Grover has elected not to relocate discharge to vacant industrial WWTP
NC0083984, which is currently listed in BIMS as "NEW."
• -Instead, Grover will maintain existing permit (NC0065242) until they connect to City of
Kings Mountain/Pilot Creek WWTP. Existing Permit recently expired 8/31/2013.
Anticipate connection by early 2015 (approx 1 year) so not worth renewal effort.
Renewal assigned to Jim McKay, but let's just sit on this one until connected, then
rescind permit.
Charles- please delete "NEW" NC0083984 in BIMS. Thanks.

Tom - Sorry I missed your call and email on Friday.
The letter from Grover is dated incorrectly and should have been dated November 14, 2013.
As WK Dickson was proceeding with the design for the proposed new Grover wastewater treatment
facility associated with the pending new NPDES permit, the Town of Kings Mountain
reconsidered their proposed user rate for the Town of Grover and extended an "inside the
city" user rate. This new rate substantially reduced the cost for a regionalization
treatment alternative. Regionalized treatment at the existing Kings Mountain Pilot Creek
WWTP now becomes a more cost effective and environmentally favorable alternative for the
treatment of the Grover wastewaters.
We are now proceeding with an Engineering Report (ER) amendment to reflect a proposed Grover
wastewater transfer to Kings Mountain. We expect to submit the revised ER and related plans
and specifications for a new pump station and force main for DENR review and approval in
January 2014. Pending DENR approval and execution of the pending SRF loan or other funding
alternatives in the spring of 2014, construction is expected to proceed by July 2014 with the
existing Grover WWTP closure in early 2015. The Town of Grover will need to maintain the
existing facility NPDES Permit No. NC0065242 until completion of a pump station and force
main to Kings Mountain.
If I can be of further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Bob- please send me an update on Town of Grover wastewater status. Based on attached letter
(received 11/18/13), NPDES pulled back the draft permit for the proposed discharge from an
upgraded Grover Industries WWTP. It now appears Grover will connect to Kings Mountain.
Please provide me an anticipated timeframe for this connection. We did receive an NPDES
renewal application from Grover for their existing WWTP (NC0065242, permit expired
8/31/2013)and will determine next step based on expected connection timeline.
