This legislation placed significant reporting requirements on entities that own or operate wastewater systems. This Performance Summary is intended to establish compliance with this rule. Union County Public Works (UCPW) is charged with the management, operation and maintenance of the County's sanitary sewer system. During the 2014-15 fiscal year the wastewater system was comprised of 5 active wastewater treatment plants (WWTP), approximately 67 wastewater pumping stations, and over 635 miles of pipe with 33,047 connections. In addition to the 5 WWTPs which have a combined rated treatment capacity of 8.15 million gallons per day (MGD), the County, through contractual agreement, has 2.65 MGD and 3.0 MGD of purchased capacity at the City of Monroe WWTP and Charlotte's McAlpine Creek WWTP respectively. Public Works' Mission Statement is as follows: Develop water, sewer and solid waste infrastructure that supports residential, commercial, industrial and agricultural needs while meeting Federal/State regulations and providing our customer base with acceptable levels of service at cost effective rates 2.0 DEFINITIONS For the purposes of this Performance Report the following definitions apply: • Aerobic —A condition in which atmospheric or dissolved molecular oxygen is present in the aquatic environment. • Automatic Telephone Dialer or ATD —A device connected to the telephone system that will call programmed telephone numbers to alert people of equipment status. • Biological Nutrient removal —The process of removing nitrogen and phosphorus from wastewater using biological processes as opposed to chemical means. • Biosolids —A primarily organic solid product, produced by wastewater treatment processes that can be beneficially recycled. The word biosolids replaces the word sludge. • BOD — Biochemical Oxygen Demand —The rate at which organisms use the oxygen in water or wastewater while stabilizing decomposable organic matter under aerobic conditions. The BOD Test is a procedure that measures the rate of oxygen use under controlled conditions of Union County Wastewater Page 2 of 15 Performance Summary FY 14-15 August 2015 time and temperature. BOD is typically used to express the "strength" of wastewater. • CL2— Chlorine Residual — The amount of chlorine present in the final effluent after disinfection. Typically measured in micrograms per liter or milligrams per liter. • D.O. — Dissolved Oxygen — Molecular (atmospheric) oxygen dissolved in a liquid. • Effluent—Treated wastewater flowing from the treatment system. • Extended Aeration —A type of wastewater treatment facility in which the wastewater is retained and treated for a minimum of 24 hours at design flow before discharge occurs. • Impeller-A rotating set of vanes in a pump designed to pump or lift water. • Inflow and Infiltration (I&I) - extraneous water that enters the sanitary sewer system through openings and/or defects in the collection system. • Fecal Coliform —The coliform (bacteria) found in the feces of warm blooded animals. The presence of coliform-group bacteria is an indication of possible pathogenic bacterial contamination. • MGD — Million Gallons per Day —Volumetric measurement of flow converted to millions. Example 150,000 gallons per day (gpd) / 1,000,000 = 0.150 MGD. • NH3— Nitrogen as Ammonia —A compound found naturally in wastewater. The compound is produced by the deamination of organic nitrogen containing compounds. • NPDES Permit— National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System - Permits, required by the Federal Water Pollution Control Act Amendments of 1972, which regulate discharges to surface waters. • pH — The expression of the intensity of the basic or acidic condition of a liquid. • Pump Station —A holding tank with pumps that forces wastewater uphill when flow by gravity is not possible. • Reclaimed Water— Highly treated wastewater that has undergone advanced treatment processes to remove solids, organics, and pathogens meeting the State's Health and Safety Standards for Beneficial Reuse. • SCADA —Acronym for "supervisory control and data acquisition", a computer system for gathering and analyzing real-time data. • SBR — Sequencing Batch Reactor—A type of wastewater treatment facility that treats and discharges water in batches as opposed to continuous flow. • SSO —Acronym for "sanitary sewer overflow" • Telemetry,—A system by which information pertaining to remote equipment status is transmitted via radio waves to a central location. • TSS — Total Suspended Solids — Particles suspended in a liquid. Union County Wastewater Pagel of 15 Performance Summary FY 14-15 August 2015 • Turbidity —The measurement of the clearness or cloudiness of a liquid. 3.0 SYNOPSIS OF WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES (Fiscal Year 2014-2015) During the 2014-15 fiscal year the Department of Public Works operated and maintained a total of five (5) active wastewater treatment facilities and maintained one (1) inactive facility.

Biosolids are stored at both the Crooked Creek and Twelve Mile Creek WWTPs. The solids are aerobically digested and then applied as "fertilizer" to permitted sites. The solids are considered stabilized and thus suitable for land application when the volatile solids content is reduced by 38%. If this 38% volatile solids reduction can not be achieved, then alkaline stabilization, injection or incorporation is employed to insure permit compliance. Union County Public Works, through its biosolids contractor, land applied approximately 6 million gallons of biosolids. 5.0 SYNOPSIS OF WASTEWATER COLLECTION SYSTEM (Fiscal Year 2014-2015) Permit No. WQCS00054. UCPW currently operates and maintains over 635 linear miles of sewer mains, including force mains, and 67 wastewater pumping stations providing service to population of approximately 95,836 customers (33,047 wastewater accounts x an average of 2.90 people per account). All pump stations are equipped with both audible and visual alarms as well as either automated telephone dialers (ATD) or telemetry which alert staff when alarm conditions are present. Inspections of all pump stations meet or exceed State requirements. Emergency auxiliary power is provided to all stations via portable or permanent mounted generators. Union County personnel are on call rotation and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. Public Works is required by State permit to clean a minimum of 10% of the collection system annually to prevent and/or reduce backups and overflows. Staff has consistently surpassed that requirement, cleaning more than the required 10%. UCPW cleaned approximately 14.2% (80 miles of 563 total gravity miles) of the collection system last year. Staff also conducts inspections of the collection system with the utilization of underground closed- circuit television (CCN) inspection equipment. These cleaning and inspection efforts allow staff to determine areas in the system that require repairs or increased maintenance to provide the proper service to our customers. FOG (Fats, Oils, and Grease) program is aimed at reducing grease-related back-ups and overflows by educating the public of the hazards associated with the disposal of grease and grease related by-products into the wastewater system. Union County Public Works, in conjunction with Union County Environmental Health, has developed a comprehensive list of food service establishments and commercial establishments. This effort will assist in development and enforcement of a grease trap inspection program ensuring Union County Wastewater System Page 12 of 15 Performance Summary FY 14-15 August 2015 that restaurants and other food preparation facilities properly maintain grease traps and interceptors. LINE MAINTENANCE (min. 10%) FEET" MILES SEWER LINES CLEANED 420,412 80 CCTV MAIN LINE 10,500 2 SMOKE TESTING 16,613 3 Utility easements and right-of-ways are maintained by UCPW staff to ensure access for staff and equipment to conduct routine maintenance as well as respond to emergencies, such as sanitary sewer overflows. The easements require round-the-clock access and should not be impeded by structures such as pools (above or below ground), buildings, etc. as well as gardens, trees, shrubs, plantings, etc. Public Works staff inspects and conducts necessary maintenance, including mowing, to these easements and right-of-ways once a year, at a minimum. High priority lines such as aerial creek crossings, lines subject to erosion and/or problematic areas are visually inspected at a minimum semi-annually. High priority lines are inspected more frequently after periods of heavy rain and flooding. UCPW maintains emergency response equipment in a ready state at all times. This emergency equipment varies in nature from spare electrical parts and plumbing supplies, to vacuum trucks, pumps, and backhoes. Workers safety is of utmost importance. Safety equipment such as night lighting, gas monitors, trenching and shoring equipment, and reflective cones/signs are always readily available. UCPW has Capital Improvement Projects (CIP) to identify and correct deficiencies associated within the wastewater collection system. ❖ Grassy Branch and Twelve Mile Creek Manhole Rehabilitation project began in January 2014. The project will reduce storm water entry (inflow & infiltration — "IM) into the sanitary sewer system reducing increased treatment and maintenance costs. This project is a part of a comprehensive "rehabilitation and repair" program in the Public Works' CIP plan to conduct necessary repairs to the collection system on an annual basis. YTD approximately $225,000 has been spent on rehabilitation efforts to over 215 manholes. Union County Wastewater System Page 13 of 15 Performance Summary FY 14-15 • August 2015 ❖ East Fork 12 Mile Interceptor project began in fall 2014. This project will increase capacity in the 12 Mile trunk sewer system resolving capacity concerns regarding current wastewater flows, while allowing for future growth. ❖ Davis Mine Creek Interceptor project began in winter 2014. This project will also increase capacity in the Davis Mine trunk sewer to handle current wastewater flows, as well as future growth. ❖ Helmsville Road Pump Station upgrade project began its design phase in early 2015. The anticipated start date for construction is December 2015, with project completion estimated in May 2016. This project consists of a new, larger wet well, new pumps, generator, and control equipment. ❖ Community Park Pump Station rehabilitation project began its design phase in late 2014. This project is to completely rebuild the Community Park pump station due to age and material concerns, as well as site accessibility. ❖ Ongoing sanitary sewer evaluation studies (SSES) throughout the collection system to identify problems and need for rehabilitation. During the Fiscal Year 2014-2015, Union County's wastewater system collected and conveyed approximately 3.05 billion gallons of wastewater.
