Dear Mr. Parks:
In accordance with your application received December 12, 2013, we are forwarding herewith
Permit No.WQCS00021 dated January 30, 2014, to the City of Wilson for the operation and
maintenance of the subject wastewater collection system.
This permit shall be effective from August 1, 2014 until July 31, 2022 and shall be subject to the
conditions and limitations specified herein. It is your responsibility to thoroughly review this
permit. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring and reporting requirements in this
permit.
The City has a Response Action Plan; however the reporting requirements are under the
subheading In Citizen's Yard (page 2) as if they only apply if spilled in a yard. Please clarify that
thu reporting requirements apply to all SSOs. The reporting requirements pick up on the page 4.
An oral report of an SSO must be made within 24 hours of first knowledge of a spill to the
appropriate regional office during regular business hours or to the Emergency Management
System (800-858-0368) after hours, weekends and holidays. The follow-up written report is due
to the regional office in 5 days. If the City has an internal policy of having the report completed
within 24 hours that is acceptable. Update the Response Action Plan to clarify the reporting
requirements and submit a copy to the Raleigh Regional Office by May 1, 2014.
For purposes of permitting, the collection system is considered to be any existing or newly
installed system extension up to the wastewater treatment facility property or point of connection
with a separately owned sewer system. The collection system is considered all gravity lines,
pump stations, force mains, low pressure sewer systems, STEP systems, vacuum systems, etc.
and associated piping, valves and appurtenances that help to collect, manage and transport

3. The Director may take enforcement action against the Permittee for SSOs that must be
reported to the Division as stipulated in Condition IV (2). This includes SSOs that were
caused by severe natural conditions or exceptional events unless the Permittee
demonstrates. through properly signed, contemporaneous operating logs, or other
relevant evidence that:
a. The SSO was caused by severe natural conditions; there were no feasible
alternatives to the SSO, such as the use of auxiliary treatment facilities, retention
of untreated wastewater, reduction of inflow and infiltration, use of adequate
back-up equipment, or an increase in the capacity of the system. This provision
is not satisfied if, in the exercise of reasonable engineering judgment, the
Permittee should have installed auxiliary or additional collection system
components, wastewater retention or treatment facilities, adequate back-up
equipment or should have reduced inflow and infiltration; or
b. The SSO was exceptional, unintentional, temporary and caused by factors
beyond the reasonable control of the Permittee; the SSO could not have been
prevented by the exercise of reasonable control, such as proper management,
operation and maintenance; adequate treatment facilities or collection system
facilities or components (e.g., adequately enlarging treatment or collection
facilities to accommodate growth or adequately controlling and preventing
infiltration and inflow); preventive maintenance; or installation of adequate back-
up equipment;
The Permittee can submit a claim to the Division Regional Office that the SSO meets the
criteria of this condition. The Permittee has the option of submitting this claim along with
the spill report required by Condition IV (2) (i.e., within five days) in order to be
considered for immunity from enforcement action. Form CS-SSO Part 11, or most current
Division approved form, shall be used for any claims. The Permittee has the burden of
proof that the above criteria have been met.
4. The Permittee shall establish by ordinance its legal authority to require new sewers be
properly constructed; to ensure proper inspection and testing of sewer mains and
service laterals; to address flows from satellite systems and to take enforcement action
as required by Condition 1(5).
5. The Permittee shall develop and implement an educational fats, oils and grease program
that shall include at least bi-annual distribution of educational material targeted at both
residential and non-residential users. The Permittee shall also develop and implement
an enforceable fats, oils and grease program for non-residential users under which the
Permittee can take enforcement against users who have not properly installed, operated
and maintained grease traps or grease interceptors as directed or otherwise violated the
terms of the local ordinance pertaining to fats, oils and grease.
6. The Permittee shall adopt and implement a Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to designate
funding for reinvestment into the wastewater collection system infrastructure. The CEP
should address the short-term needs and long-term "master plan" concepts. The CIP
should typically cover a three to five year period and include a goal statement,
description of the project area, description of the existing facilities, known deficiencies
(over a reasonable period) and forecasted future needs. Cost analysis is integral to the
CIP.

2. The Permittee shall develop and adhere to a schedule for reviewing all inspection,
maintenance, operational and complaint logs. If the review process results in the
identification of any recurring problem in the wastewater collection system that cannot be
resolved in a short time period, the Permittee shall establish a plan for addressing the
problem(s).
3. The Permittee shall develop and adhere to a schedule for testing emergency and
standby equipment.
4. The Permittee shall develop and implement a routine pump station inspection and
maintenance program, which shall include, but not be limited to, the following
maintenance activities:
a. Cleaning and removing debris from the pump station structure, outside perimeter,
and wet well;
b. Inspecting and exercising all valves;
c. Inspecting and lubricating pumps and other mechanical equipment according to
the manufacturer's recommendations; and
d. Verifying the proper operation of the alarms, telemetry system and auxiliary
equipment.
5. For each pump station without pump reliability (i.e. simplex pump stations serving more
than a single building or pump stations not capable of pumping at a rate of 2.5 times the
average daily flow rate with the largest pump out of service), at least one fully
operational spare pump capable of pumping peak flow shall be maintained on hand.
6. The Permittee shall maintain on hand at least two percent of the number of pumps
installed, but no less than two pumps, that discharge to a pressure sewer and serve a
single building, unless the Permittee has the ability to purchase and install a
replacement pump within 24 hours of first knowledge of the simplex pump failure or
within the storage capacity provided in any sewer line extension permit.
7. Rights -of -way and/or easements shall be properly maintained to allow accessibility to the
wastewater collection system unless the Permittee can demonstrate the ability to gain
temporary access in an emergency situation where existing land -use conditions do not
allow the establishment and maintenance of permanent access. In this case, the
Permittee shall continue to observe the lines visually, utilize remote inspection methods
(e.g. CCTV) and use the opportunity of drier conditions to perform further inspections
and necessary maintenance.
8. The Permittee shall assess cleaning needs, and develop and implement a program for
appropriately cleaning, whether by hydraulic or mechanical methods, all sewer lines. At
least 10 percent of the wastewater collection system, selected at the discretion of the
ORC, shall be cleaned each year. Preventative cleaning is not required for sewer lines
less than five years old unless inspection otherwise reveals the need for cleaning or
cleaning is required by a sewer line extension permit.

4. The Permittee shall maintain records of all of the modifications and extensions to the
collection system permitted herein. The Permittee shall maintain a copy of the
construction record drawings and specifications for modifications/extensions to the
wastewater collection system for the life of the modification/extension. Information
concerning the extension shall be incorporated into the map of the wastewater collection
system within one year of the completion of construction. The system description
contained within this permit shall be updated to include this modification/extension
information upon permit renewal.
IV. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. Any monitoring (including, but not necessarily limited to, wastewater flow, groundwater,
surface water, soil or plant tissue analyses) deemed necessary by the Division to ensure
surface water and groundwater protection will be established, and an acceptable
sampling and reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. The Permittee shall verbally report to a Division of Water Resources staff member at the
Raleigh Regional Office, at telephone number 919-791-4200 as soon as possible,. but in
no case more than 24 hours following the occurrence or first knowledge of the
occurrence of either of the following:
a. Any SSO and/or spill over 1,000 gallons; or
b. Any SSO and/or spill, regardless of volume, that reaches surface water.
Voice mail messages or faxed information shall not be considered as the initial verbal
report. SSOs (and other types of spills) occurring outside normal business hours may
also be reported to the Division of Emergency Management at telephone number (800)
858-0368 or [phone]. Persons reporting any of the above occurrences shall file
a spill report by completing Part I of Form CS-SSO (or the most current Division
approved form), within five days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report
shall outline the actions taken or proposed to ensure that the problem does not recur.
Per Condition 1 (3), Part II of Form CS-SSO (or the most current Division approved form)
can also be completed to show that the SSO was beyond control.
3. The Permittee shall meet the annual reporting and notification requirements provided in
North Carolina General Statute §143-215.1 C.
V. INSPECTIONS
1. The Permittee or the Permittee's designee shall inspect the wastewater collection
system regularly to reduce the risk of malfunctions and deterioration, operator errors,
and other issues that may cause or lead to the release of wastes to the environment,
threaten human health or create nuisance conditions. The Permittee shall keep an
inspection log or summary including, at a minimum, the date and time of inspection,
observations made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken by the
Permittee.
2. Pump stations without Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems or
telemetry shall be inspected everyday (i.e. 365 days per year). Pump stations equipped
with SCADA systems or telemetry shall be inspected at least once per week.

7. The Permittee shall notify the Division's Pretreatment, Emergency Response and
Collection Systems Unit in writing at 1617 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina
27699-1617 of any changes to the name and/or address of the responsible party (i.e.
mayor, city/town manager) of the wastewater collection system.
8. Any duly authorized officer, employee, or representative of the Division may, upon
presentation of credentials, enter and inspect any property, premises or place on or
related to the collection system at any reasonable time for the purpose of determining
compliance with this permit, may inspect or copy any records that most be maintained
under the terms and conditions of this permit, and may obtain samples of wastewater,
groundwater, surface water, soil, or plant tissue.
