Dear Mr. Frazier:

Subject: Final NPDES Permit Renewal
Pen -nit NCO020559
Henderson WRF
Vance County
Grade IV Biological WPCS
SiC Code 4952
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject pen -nit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES permit. This permit is issued pursuant to the
requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of Agreement
between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency dated October 15. 2007
(or as subsequently amended).
Please note that the receiving stream is listed as impaired for benthos and fish communities on
the North Carolina.2016 303(d) Impaired Waters List. Addressing impaired waters is a high
priority with the Division, and instream data will continue to be evaluated. If there is
noncompliance with permitted effluent limits and stream impairment can be attributed to your
facility, then mitigative measures may be required.
The following changes were made to the draft permit sent to you on April 17, 2019:
• The Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet Component list was updated per comments from
ORC (dissolved air flotation sludge thickening and pure aerobic digester were removed).
• Section A. (1) Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements —Total Phosphorus
monitoring frequency was changed to weekly.
The final permit maintains the following significant changes identified in the letter sent on
April 17, 2019:
• Facility component list on the Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet has been updated per
receipt of Engineer's Certificate to include two new WAS pumps. a screw thickener, and
a screw thickener discharge pump. Based on the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Letter

512 Nmth Salisbury Street I617 Mail Servlce Center I Raleigh, North Carolina 276991617
919,7079000

dated February 1: 19 from Raleigh Regional Office sta,,, .he facility component list
was updated to remove primary clarifiers, trickling filters, secondary clarifiers, pure
oxygen activated sludge nitrification basin. anaerobic digesters. and sludge drying beds,
and to add the biological nutrient removal system.
• Effluent sampling data for Zinc did not show reasonable potential to violate Water Quality
Standards, therefore, quarterly effluent monitoring for Zinc has been removed from the
permit [See A. (1) and A. (2)].
• Effluent sampling data for Copper showed reasonable potential to violate Water Quality
Standards. Monthly monitoring and limitations for Copper were added to the permit [See
A. (1) and A. (2)].
• The City of Henderson has reported Total Cadmium, Total Silver, and Total Selenium at
less than detection in the three Effluent Pollutant Scans and effluent data: reporting < 2
µg/L for Total Cadmium. < 5 µg/L for Total Silver, and < 10 µg/L for Total Selenium. In
accordance with 1 SA NCAC 213.0500 all test procedures trust produce minimum detection
and reporting levels that are below the allowable discharge concentration of a parameter
and all data generated must be reported dowm to the minimum detection or lower reporting
level of the procedure. DWR's lab has recognized that the target Practical Quantification
Limit (PQL) for Total Cadmium is 0.50 µg/L, and the PQL for Total Silver and Total
Selenium is 1.0 µg/L. The City's allowable discharge concentration for Total Cadmium is
1.738 µg/L, Total Silver is 0.062 µg L, and Total Selenium is 5.2 µg L. Therefore, quarterly
monitoring for these parameters has been added to the permit, and the City is expected to
use sufficiently sensitive test methods when analyzing effluent data. [See A. (1) and A.
(2)].
• DWR's lab has recognized that the target PQL for Lead is 2.0 µglL and Arsenic is 2.0
µg%L. No monitoring has been added to the permit for these parameters, however, the City
is expected to use sufficiently sensitive test methods when analyzing effluent data. For
reference, DWR's most up-to-date list of target PQLs can be accessed online:

home paw,micl_ohiologL anor>anLt s-hr.nl,ihmsthodsJ,gls-(Ia
• Limits for ammonia -nitrogen have been changed for expansion flow of 6.0 MGD based on
North Carolina's implementation of EPA's ammonia -nitrogen criteria in developing
toxicity -based NH3-N allocations protective of North Carolina streams [See A. (2)].
• Effluent mercury data was reviewed from January 2015 to April 2018. In accordance with
the NPDES Permitting and Mercury Implementation Strategy approved in conjunction
with the 2012 Mercury TMDL, the pemrittee needs to show annual average effluent
concentrations below the Water Quality Based Effluent Limitation (WQBEL) and the
individual mercury sample results below the Technology Based Effluent Limitation
(TBEL). Review of the data showed that both criteria were met for both 4.14 and 6.0 MGD
flows. Therefore, mercury limitations and monitoring requirements have been removed
from the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements [See A. (1) and A. (2)].
However, monitoring for mercury using the low-level test method 1631 E shall continue
when performing the three effluent pollutant scans [See A. (5)].
• The Mercury TMDL emphasizes Mercury Minimization Plans (MMPs) for point source
control. The NPDES Permitting and Mercury Implementation Strategy requires municipal
facilities > 2.0 MGD and discharging quantifiable levels of mercury (> 1.0 ng/`L) to receive
a MMP requirement. Based on the review of mercury effluent data, a MMP Special
Condition was added to the pen nit [See A. (6)].
Page 2 of 3

• Upstream and effluent quarterly monitoring for total hardness iiaa been added to the permit
for all flow tiers (4.14 and 6.0 MGD) as required by the implementation guidance for the
new dissolved metal standards [See A. (1), A. (2), and A. (3)].
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A. (4), Chronic Toxicity Permit
Limit: please review each paragraph carefully.
• Special Condition A. (5) has been modified to include the specific three years in which the
Effluent Pollutant Scan shall be performed (2020, 2021, 2022). In addition, at the end of
the Special Condition, 2"d Species Toxicity Testing Requirements for municipal permit
renewals per Federal Regulations [40 CFR 122.21 0)(5)] have been added.
• Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports
(DMRs) and program reports. The requirement to continue reporting discharge monitoring
data electronically using the NC DW R's Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR)
internet application has been added to your NPDES permit [See Special Condition A. (7)].
• Parameter codes have been added to the Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements
[See A. (1) and A. (2)].
• Regulatory citations have been added to the permit.
If any parts, measurement frequencies or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable to you, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within
thirty (30) days following receipt of this letter. This request must be in the form of a written
petition, conforming to Chapter 150E of the North Carolina General Statutes, and tiled with the
Office of Administrative Hearings (6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-
6714). Unless such demand is made, this decision shall be final and binding.
Please note that this permit is not transferable except after notice to the Division. The Division
may require modification or revocation and reissuance of the permit. This permit does not affect
the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by the Division of Water
Resources or any other Federal, State, or Local governmental regulations.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Cassidy Kurtz at [phone]
or via email at Cassidy. [e-mail].

Notes.
1. U = upstream at NC Highway 39. Dt = downstream at the power lines. D2 = downstream immediately
above the confluence of Indian Creek and Crooked Creek.
2. Profiles should be taken at one (1) meter intervals.
3. Composites shall be collected as spatial composites throughout the photic zone (i.e. two times
the Secchi depth.)
As per 15A NCAC 2B.0505(c)(4), stream sampling may be discontinued at such time as flow
conditions in the receiving waters or extreme weather conditions will result in a substantial risk of
injury or death to persons collecting samples. In such cases, on each day that sampling is
discontinued, written justification for the discontinuance shall be specified in the monitoring report
for the month in which the event occurred. This provision shall be strictly construed and may not
be utilized to avoid the requirements of 15A NCAC 28.0500 when performance of these
requirements is attainable. When there is discontinuance pursuant to this provision, stream
sampling shall be resumed at the first opportunity after the risk period has ceased.
A. (4) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (QUARTERLY) (15A NCAC 028.02001
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90% for 4.14 and 6.0 MGD flows.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, ouarter/v monitoring using test procedures outlined
in the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised December
2010, or subsequent versions or `North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised- December 2010) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during
the months of January, April, July, and October. These months signify the first month of each
three-month toxicity testing quarter assigned to the facility. Effluent sampling for this testing must
be obtained during representative effluent discharge and shall be performed at the NPDES
permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or
ChV below the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a
minimum, in each of the two following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II
Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -December 2010) or subsequent
versions.

Permit NC0020559
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the
parameter code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3B for the Chronic Value. Additionally,
DWR Form AT-3 (original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: North Carolina Division of Water Resources
Water Sciences Section/Aquatic Toxicology Branch
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, NC 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Water Sciences Section no later than
30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements and
all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or approved
designate signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be measured and
reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream,
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT)
test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of
the report with the notation of "No Flow" in the comment area of the form. The report shall be
submitted to the Water Sciences Section at the address cited above.
Should the permittee fail to monitor during a month in which toxicity monitoring is required,
monitoring will be required during the following month. Assessment of toxicity compliance is based
on the toxicity testing quarter, which is the three-month time interval that begins on the first day of
the month in which toxicity testing is required by this permit and continues until the final day of the
third month.
Should any test data from this monitoring requirement or tests performed by the North Carolina
Division of Water Resources indicate potential impacts to the receiving stream, this permit may be
re -opened and modified to include alternate monitoring requirements or limits.
NOTE: Failure to achieve test conditions as specified in the cited document, such as minimum
control organism survival, minimum control organism reproduction, and appropriate environmental
controls, shall constitute an invalid test and will require immediate follow-up testing to be
completed no later than the last day of the month following the month of the initial monitoring.
A. (5) EFFLUENT POLLUTANT SCAN (Municipal POTWs) [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
The permittee shall perform a total of three (3) Effluent Pollutant Scans for all parameters listed below.
One scan must be performed in each of the following years: 2020, 2021, and 2022. Analytical methods
shall be in accordance with 40 CFR Part 136 and shall be sufficiently sensitive to determine whether
parameters are present in concentrations greater than applicable standards and criteria. Samples
should be collected with one quarterly toxicity test each year, and must represent seasonal variation
(i.e., do not sample in the same quarter every year]. Unless otherwise indicated, metals shall be
analyzed as "total recoverable."

Additional Toxicity Testing Requirements for Municipal Permit Renewal. Please note that
Municipal facilities that are subject to the Effluent Pollutant Scan requirements listed above are also
subject to additional toxicity testing requirements specified in Federal Regulation 40 CFR
122.210)(5). The US EPA requires four (4) toxicity tests for a test organism other than the test
species currently required in this permit. The multiple species tests should be conducted either
quarterly for a 12-month period prior to submittal of the permit renewal application, or four tests
performed at least annually in the four and one-half year period prior to the application. These tests
shall be performed for acute or chronic toxicity, whichever is specified in this permit. The multiple
species toxicity test results shall be filed with the Aquatic Toxicology Branch at the following
address:
North Carolina Division of Water Resources

additional toxicity tests and reporting requirements. Results should also be summarized in Part E
(Toxicity Testing Data) of EPA Municipal Application Form 2A, when submitting the permit renewal
application to the NPDES Permitting Unit.
A. (6) MERCURY MINIMIZATION PLAN (MMP) [G.S. 143-215.1 (b)]
The permittee shall develop and implement a mercury minimization plan during this permit term.
The MMP shall be developed within 180 days of the NPDES Permit Effective Date, and shall be
available for inspection on -site. A sample MMP was developed through a stakeholder review
process and has been placed on the Division website for guidance
(nttps. -deg nc.00v/document/nc-model-mercury-minimization-plan-dwr-ni)des_swp 201308011.
The MMP should place emphasis on identification of mercury contributors and goals for reduction.
Results shall be summarized and submitted with the next permit renewal. Performance of the
Mercury Minimization Plan will meet the requirements of the TMDL (Total Maximum Daily Load) for
mercury approved by USEPA on October 12, 2012, unless and until a Waste Load Allocation
specific to this facility is developed and this NPDES permit is amended to require further actions to
address the Waste Load Allocation.
A. (7) ELECTRONIC REPORTING OF MONITORING REPORTS [G.S. 143-215.1(b)]
Federal regulations require electronic submittal of all discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) and
program reports. The final NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule was adopted and became effective
on December 21, 2015.
NOTE: This special condition supplements or supersedes the following sections within Part II of
this permit (Standard Conditions for NPDES Permits)-
• Section B. (11.) Signatory Requirements
• Section D. (2.) Reporting
• Section D. (6.) Records Retention
• Section E. (5.) Monitoring Reports
The permittee shall report discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's Electronic
Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application.
Monitoring results obtained during the previous month(s) shall be summarized for each month and
submitted electronically using eDMR. The eDMR system allows permitted facilities to enter
monitoring data and submit DMRs electronically using the internet. Until such time that the state's
eDMR application is compliant with EPA's Cross -Media Electronic Reporting Regulation
(CROMERR), permittees will be required to submit all discharge monitoring data to the state
electronically using eDMR and will be required to complete the eDMR submission by printing,
signing, and submitting one signed original and a copy of the computer printed eDMR to the
following address:

ATTENTION: Central Files
1617 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1617
Page 10 of 13

Permit NC0020509
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. See "How to Request a Waiver from Electronic
Reporting" section below.
Regardless of the submission method, the first DMR is due on the last day of the month following
the issuance of the permit or in the case of a new facility, on the last day of the month following
the commencement of discharge.
Starting on December 21, 2020, the permittee must electronically report the following compliance
monitoring data and reports, when applicable:
• Sewer Overflow/Bypass Event Reports;
• Pretreatment Program Annual Reports; and
• Clean Water Act (CWA) Section 316(b) Annual Reports.
The permittee may seek an electronic reporting waiver from the Division (see "How to Request a
Waiver from Electronic Reporting" section below).
2. Electronic Submissions
In accordance with 40 CFR 122.41(I)(9), the permittee must identify the initial recipient at the time
of each electronic submission. The permittee should use the EPA's website resources to identify
the initial recipient for the electronic submission.
Initial recipient of electronic NPDES information from NPDES-regulated facilities means the entity
(EPA or the state authorized by EPA to implement the NPDES program) that is the designated
entity for receiving electronic NPDES data [see 40 CFR 127.2(b)].
EPA plans to establish a website that will also link to the appropriate electronic reporting tool for
each type of electronic submission and for each state. Instructions on how to access and use the
appropriate electronic reporting tool will be available as well. Information on EPA's NPDES
Electronic Reporting Rule is found at:
https://www.federalregister.00v/documents/2015/10/22i2015-24954/national-pollutant-discharae-
elimination-system-npdes-electronic-reportina-rule
Electronic submissions must start by the dates listed in the "Reporting Requirements" section
above.
3. How to Request a Waiver from Electronic Reporting
The permittee may seek a temporary electronic reporting waiver from the Division. To obtain an
electronic reporting waiver, a permittee must first submit an electronic reporting waiver request to
the Division. Requests for temporary electronic reporting waivers 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 submitting monitoring data and reports. The duration of a
temporary waiver shall not exceed 5 years and shall thereupon expire. At such time, monitoring
data and reports shall be submitted electronically to the Division unless the permittee re -applies
for and is granted a new temporary electronic reporting waiver by the Division. Approved
electronic reporting waivers are not transferrable. Only permittees with an approved reporting
waiver request may submit monitoring data and reports on paper to the Division for the period that
the approved reporting waiver request is effective.

Division of Water Quality (Division) personnel have reviewed and approved your application for
renewal of the subject permit. Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge permit.
It is issued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the
Memorandum of Agreement between North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency
dated October 15, 2007.
This final permit contains the following changes from the previously -issued permit:
• The priority pollutant scan requirement was changed from annual to three times during the current
permit term, consistent with Division guidance for major municipal wastewater treatment facilities.
Please note that this testing requires a low-level sampling method for mercury (EPA Method
1631 E).
• A footnote was added to the limit for TRC such that the Division shall consider all effluent TRC
values reported below 50 pg/L to be in compliance with the permit. However, you must continue to
record and submit all values reported by a North Carolina certified laboratory (including field
certified), even if these values fall below 50 pg/L.
• Due to the lack of reasonable potential to cause exceedances of water quality standards,
monitoring requirements for mercury were reduced to quarterly and its limit eliminated.
• Data analyses indicated that total copper and total zinc exhibited a reasonable potential to cause
exceedances of water quality standards. Monitoring for these parameters will be changed to
quarterly in accordance with Division guidelines for action -level parameters.

not impact Nutbush Creek and do not contribute to the biological impairment of this stream
segment.
Please note that the receiving stream is listed as an impaired waterbody on the North Carolina 303(d)
Impaired Waters List. Addressing impaired waters is a high priority with the Division, and instream
data will continue to be evaluated. If there is noncompliance with permitted effluent limits and stream
impairment can be attributed to your facility, then mitigative measures may be required.
If any parts, measurement frequencies, or sampling requirements contained in this permit are
unacceptable, you have the right to an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days
after receiving this letter. Your request must take the form of a written petition conforming to Chapter
150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and must be filed with the Office of Administrative
Hearings, 6714 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-6714. Unless such demand is
made, this permit remains final and binding.
This permit is not transferable except after notifying the Division of Water Quality. The Division may
modify and reissue or revoke this permit. Please note that this permit does not affect your legal
obligation to obtain other permits required by the Division of Water Quality, the Division of Land
Resources, the Division of Coastal Management, or other federal or local agencies.

3. Composites shall be collected as spatial composites throughout the photic zone (i.e. two times
the secchi depth.)
As per 15A NCAC 2B.0505(c)(4), stream sampling may be discontinued at such time as flow
conditions in the receiving waters or extreme weather conditions will result in a substantial risk of
injury or death to persons collecting samples. In such cases, on each day that sampling is
discontinued, written justification for the discontinuance shall be specified in the monitoring report
for the month in which the event occurred. This provision shall be strictly construed and may not
be utilized to avoid the requirements of 15A NCAC 2B.0500 when performance of these
requirements is attainable. When there is discontinuance pursuant to this provision, stream
sampling shall be resumed at the first opportunity after the risk period has ceased.
A (4) CHRONIC TOXICITY PERMIT LIMIT (Quarterly)
The effluent discharge shall at no time exhibit observable inhibition of reproduction or significant
mortality to Ceriodaphnia dubia at an effluent concentration of 90 %.
The permit holder shall perform at a minimum, quarterly monitoring using test procedures outlined in
the "North Carolina Ceriodaphnia Chronic Effluent Bioassay Procedure," Revised February 1998, or
subsequent versions or "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure"
(Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions. The tests will be performed during the months of
January, April, July and October. Effluent sampling for this testing shall be performed at the NPDES
permitted final effluent discharge below all treatment processes.
If the test procedure performed as the first test of any single quarter results in a failure or ChV below
the permit limit, then multiple -concentration testing shall be performed at a minimum, in each of the two
following months as described in "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test
Procedure" (Revised -February 1998) or subsequent versions.

Permit NC0020559
The chronic value for multiple concentration tests will be determined using the geometric mean of the
highest concentration having no detectable impairment of reproduction or survival and the lowest
concentration that does have a detectable impairment of reproduction or survival. The definition of
"detectable impairment," collection methods, exposure regimes, and further statistical methods are
specified in the "North Carolina Phase II Chronic Whole Effluent Toxicity Test Procedure" (Revised -
February 1998) or subsequent versions.
All toxicity testing results required as part of this permit condition will be entered on the Effluent
Discharge Monitoring Form (MR-1) for the months in which tests were performed, using the parameter
code TGP3B for the pass/fail results and THP3113 for the Chronic Value. Additionally, DWQ Form AT-3
(original) is to be sent to the following address:
Attention: NC DENR / DWQ / Environmental Sciences Section
1621 Mail Service Center
Raleigh, North Carolina 27699-1621
Completed Aquatic Toxicity Test Forms shall be filed with the Environmental Sciences Section no
later than 30 days after the end of the reporting period for which the report is made.
Test data shall be complete, accurate, include all supporting chemical/physical measurements
and all concentration/response data, and be certified by laboratory supervisor and ORC or
,apprdvedresignate-signature. Total residual chlorine of the effluent toxicity sample must be --
measured and reported if chlorine is employed for disinfection of the waste stream.
Should there be no discharge of flow from the facility during a month in which toxicity monitoring is
required, the permittee will complete the information located at the top of the aquatic toxicity (AT)
test form indicating the facility name, permit number, pipe number, county, and the month/year of

the wastewater discharged during the sample period.
Act or "the Act"
The Federal Water Pollution Control Act, also known as the Clean Water Act (CWA), as amended, 33 USC 1251, et.
seq.
Annual Averaee
The arithmetic mean of all "daily discharges" of a pollutant measured during the calendar year. In the case of fecal
coliform, the geometric mean of such discharges.
Arithmetic Mean
The summation of the individual values divided by the number of individual values.
Bypass
The known diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility including the collection system, which is
not a designed or established or operating mode for the facility.
Calendar Day

consecutive 24-hour period that reasonably represents the calendar day may be used for sampling.
Calendar Week
The period from Sunday through the following Saturday.
Calendar Quarter
One of the following distinct periods: January through March, April through June, July through September, and
October through December.
Composite Sample
A sample collected over a 24-hour period by continuous sampling or combining grab samples of at least 100 mL in
such a manner as to result in a total sample representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. The
Director may designate the most appropriate method (specific number and size of aliquots necessary, the time interval
between grab samples, etc.) on a case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically. Composite
samples may be obtained by the following methods:
(1) Continuous: a single, continuous sample collected over a 24-hour period proportional to the rate of flow.
(2) Constant time/variable volume: 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
(3) Variable time/constant volume: 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. Flow
measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the
preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at
the treatment system, or

monitored continually except for the infrequent tunes when there may be no flow or for infrequent maintenance
activities on the flow device.
Daily Discharge
The discharge of a pollutant measured during a calendar day or any 24-hour period that reasonably represents the
calendar day for purposes of sampling. For pollutants measured in units of mass, the "daily discharge" is calculated as
the total mass of the pollutant discharged over the day. For pollutants expressed in other units of measurement, the
"daily discharge" is calculated as the average measurement of the pollutant over the day. (40 CFR 122.2; see also
"Composite Sample," above.)

Inhibition or disruption of the POTW treatment processes; operations; or its sludge process, use, or disposal which
causes or contributes to a violation of any requirement of the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's if different from the
Permittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge permit or prevents sewage sludge use or disposal in
compliance with specified applicable State and Federal statutes, regulations, or permits. [I 5A NCAC 02H
.0903(b)(14)]
Pass Throueh
A discharge which exits the POTW into waters of the State in quantities or concentrations which, alone or with
discharges from other sources, causes a violation, including an increase in the magnitude or duration of a violation, of
the Permittee's (or any satellite POTW's, if different from the Pemmittee) NPDES, collection system, or non -discharge
permit. [15A NCAC 02H .0903(b)(23)]
Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW)

Re: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Henderson Water Reclamation Facility
NPDES Permit NCO020559
Vance County
Dear Mr. Bolich:
Thank you for the Compliance Evaluation Inspection performed on January 31, 2019 by Vanessa
Manuel of the Raleigh Regional office. In response to follow up information requested for item
number 2 and 10(b), please note the following information:
Item 2 — Abandoned treatment units that are no longer part of the wastewater treatment
process
When the wastewater treatment plant was upgraded, there were insufficient funds to
remove all of the units that would no longer be used. Alternate bids were taken but not
awarded. This has been discussed with the Public Works Committee of the Henderson
City Council, and they have agreed with staff that bids should be obtained to see what the
demolition cost would be. This will take approximately 45 days to obtain, and once the
figures are obtained the City Council will consider the bids and the appropriate funding
source. An Earlier quote obtained when the initial construction work was being
completed to get this work done was approximately $656,374, so there is significant cost
associated with the demolition. If okay with your office, I would like to report back on a
more definitive date to complete or plan of action, once bids are taken.
Item 10(b) — Secondary Treatment — the depth of clarifiers is as follows per Lamont
Allen:
The clarifiers are 20'-0" deep. It was indicated that #1 was stopping up and this was
corrected and the clarifiers equalized to 5.5 ft. The City is working diligently with
Granville Farms to reduce the level of solids in the clarifiers; however, this has been
tough to fully address due to wet weather.

If you have further questions or concerns please feel free to call Lamont Allen at 252431-6081
or via email at [e-mail] or myself at 252-430-5701 or
[e-mail] respectively.

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Henderson Water Reclamation Facility
NPDES Permit NCO020559
Vance County
Dear Mr. Frazier:
On Thursday, January 31, 2019, Vanessa Manuel of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a
compliance evaluation inspection of the treatment facilities located at Henderson Water
Reclamation Facility (WRF). The purpose of this inspection was to ensure compliance with the
subject NPDES permit. During the inspection, the presence and cooperation of Harry Lamont
Allen, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), were helpful and appreciated.
Henderson WRF is located at 1646 West Andrews Avenue in Henderson, North Carolina. The
facility is a Grade IV Biological Water Pollution Control System with an as -built flow of 4.14
MGD that treats domestic and industrial wastewater. Through NPDES permit NC0020559, the
City of Henderson, hereinafter referred to as the City, is authorized to discharge the treated
wastewater through outfall 001 to receiving waters designated as Nutbush Creek, a waterbody
classified as C waters within the Roanoke River Basin.
This NPDES compliance evaluation inspection consisted of the following:
• Review of the NPDES permit;
• Review of the owner/facility information;
• Review of December 2016 — November 2018 monitoring data;
• Review of December 2016 — November 2018 compliance history;
• On -site inspection of the wastewater treatment units; and
• On -site inspection of the discharge outfall.
Findings during the pre -inspection file review were as follows:
1. The current NPDES permit was issued effective November 1, 2012, and expired March 31,
2017. On October 3, 2016, the Division received the City's permit renewal application for
the Henderson WRF. The Division is in the process of renewing this NPDES permit.

February 019
2. As listed in the subject permit, the treatment components include bar screen and grit
chamber, primary clarifiers (abandoned), trickling filters (removed), secondary clarifiers
(abandoned), pure oxygen activated sludge nitrification basin (abandoned), final clarifiers,
tertiary filters, post aeration, UV disinfection with sodium hypochlorite backup, dissolved air
flotation sludge thickening, pure oxygen aerobic digester, anaerobic digesters (abandoned),
aerobic digester, sludge holding tank and sludge drying beds (abandoned). During the on -
site inspection, the ORC stated the abandoned treatment units are no longer part of the
wastewater treatment process. This office requests that treatment units that have been
abandoned (pure oxygen basin, clarifiers, anaerobic digesters, etc.) and will not be used by
the City be properly demolished for employee and environmental safety. All solids, sludge,
water, etc., must be removed from all abandoned units.
3. Beginning December 21, 2016, EPA's NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule requires permittees
to submit their discharge monitoring reports (DMRs) electronically, instead of on paper. The
City has been using the Division's eDMR system to electronically report its monitoring data
beginning with its August 2016 DMR. To learn more about the eDMR system, please visit
the Division's eDMR website at hops•//deq nc.eov/about/divisions/water-resources/edmr.
4. The affiliations contact information for the permitted owner/facility is not up-to-date in the
Division's data system. After reviewing the NPDES W W Contacts Report, the ORC
indicated Thomas M. Spain is no longer associated with Henderson WRF. Please ensure the
information the Division has on fde for the City and Henderson WRF is up-to-date.
Having the correct contact information in the Division's data system ensures correspondence
is directed to the appropriate person.
5. For the review period December 2016 — November 2018, the following violations were
detected: BOD weekly average limit exceeded in March 2017 and April 2018; Ammonia
Nitrogen (NH3N) weekly and'monthly average limits exceeded in March and April 2017.
The Division has issued enforcement actions to the City for these violations. For the 2-year
period ending November 2018, Henderson WRF has been compliant with its Whole Effluent
Toxicity limit and monitoring requirements.
Findings during the inspection were as follows:
6. The operator's log and supporting analytical documentation were consistent and up to date.
7. The following laboratories perform analyses on the samples collected at the Henderson WRF
and reported on the Discharge Monitoring Reports: City of Henderson WRF (certified lab
number 242); Meritech Inc. (certified lab number 165); and Environment 1 Inc. (certified lab
number 10). The Henderson WRF lab reports analytical results for BOD, TSS, NH3N, Fecal
Coliform, pH, Dissolved Oxygen, Temperature, and Conductivity. Meritech reports data for
the nutrient parameters, Chronic toxicity, and the metals. Environment 1 reports analytical
results for Chlorophyll A. An inspection of the meter calibration logs, standards, incubator
temperatures (fecal and BOD) showed the WRF laboratory to be compliant with record -
keeping requirements.
8. The inspector compared the August 2017 DMR data against the facility's lab data and the
contract lab's analytical results. No discrepancies were noted.

9. The inspector observed the following treatment units: influent pump station, which consists
of 2 mechanical bar screens, a grit removal system, a 2-foot influent Parshall flume with
ultrasonic flow meter, and 4 submersible non -clog 5.0 MGD pumps; a dual train 3-stage
biological nutrient removal (BNR) system consisting of 4 anaerobic basins, 2 anoxic zones,
2 oxidation ditches with four 100-HP aerators; two 95-ft diameter clarifiers; 4 tertiary filters
with high water alarms; a contact chamber (no chlorine added); a post -aeration tank; 2 ultra-
violet light disinfection banks; a 48-inch effluent rectangular weir with ultrasonic flow meter;
a drum sludge thickener; caustic feed tanks; an aerobic digester (I MG); a sludge holding
tank (I MG); a truck loading station; and 1 emergency generator.
10. The inspector noted the following observations of the treatment components:
a) Preliminary Treatment. The mechanical bar screens and grit removal chamber were in
operation and did not appear to have any issues that would affect proper operation. The
screenings collected after the influent flow passes through these processes are retained in
a dumpster before being hauled to the landfill by Waste Industries. The area around these
units was clean and well maintained.
b) Secondary Treatment. The BNR system was operational the day of the inspection. The
inspector did not observe any dead spots within the system at the time of the inspection.
No apparent issues of concern were observed. The final clarifier units were operational.
Both clarifiers are fitted with brushes on the arm of the sweeper to clean the weirs. The
weirs were clean and showed equal weir overflow rates. Effluent from the clarifiers was
clear and free of excess solids. Past inspection reports have indicated the clarifier depths
to be 16-feet. However, the ORC informed the inspector each clarifier is 20-feet deep.
Please confirm and update this office with the correct depth of the final clarifiers. The
ORC measured the sludge depth of clarifier #1 at 11 feet. The sludge depth in clarifier #2
was not measured. The sludge level within the clarifiers should be maintained at less
than 25% of the depth of the clarifier to help prevent washout of the solids. The ORC
stated he was aware of the need to reduce the solids level in the clarifiers and Granville
Farms had been contacted. The City should take the necessary actions to significantly
reduce the level of solids in each clarifier.
c) Tertiary Treatment. The type of operation of the tertiary filters is down flow, and the
type of filter media used is sand and anthracite. At the time of the inspection, the filter
surface appeared free of clogging. The air scour was operational and the clear well
appeared free of excessive solids and filter media.
d) Disinfection. The facility disinfects the treated wastewater prior to discharge using ultra-
violet light. No issues of concern were observed with the disinfection system.
e) Sludge Treatment. Waste activated sludge is removed from the clarifiers and pumped to
the drum sludge thickener where polymer is added to thicken the solids prior to deposit
into the aerobic digester. The ORC stated the solids are retained in the digesters as long
as possible to meet the 503 requirements, and then they are removed and stored in the
sludge holding tank for hauling. The sludge hauler, Granville Farms, is contracted to
haul the solids away. No issues of concern were observed with the sludge treatment
system.

11. The inspector observed the effluent discharge to Nutbush Creek via the outfall pipe to be
clear with no observable solids or foam. No detrimental impacts to the receiving stream from
the effluent discharge were observed.
Within 45-days receipt of this letter, please submit a written response to this office indicating
actions the City has taken or will take to comply with or resolve the issues noted in items 1 and
10b above.

Dear Mr. Smith:
Re: Notice of Violation
Tracking Number: NOV 2017-LV-0423

I am writing in response to the Notice of Violation as noted above and the explanation for
the limit exceedance violations.
As you may be aware, the City of Henderson is nearing 100% completion of the original
contract items in which the Henderson Water Reclamation Facility was renovated and changed
to oxidation ditches as well as other components of the plant. Our contractor, Devere
Construction defaulted on the contract so the Bonding Company took over the uncompleted
work and this has been ongoing since March of 2016.
On March 3, 2017 there was a need for the wastewater treatment plant staff to start the
process of switching the flow from oxidation ditch basin one to oxidation ditch basin two, which
unfortunately caused an unstable biological environment in the ditch. According to Lamont
Allen, the Director of the Henderson Water Reclamation Facility, the treatment plant staff took
the following actions at ditch #2.
• Added 600 gallons of 25% caustic for PH adjustment from March
5-7 (300 gpd)
• Added 4 gallons of nitrifiers
• Added 4 gallons of ammonia assimilator
• Added ten 16 oz. bags of V itaStim low food to the mass.

Re: Notice of Violation & Intent to Assess Civil Penalty
Tracking Number: NOV-2017-LV-0582
Dear Mr. Smith:
I am writing in response to the above mentioned violation and the corrective action taken by the City
It appears that the problem occurred while one oxidation ditch was offline for cleaning. The tank had
some residual sludge in the bottom. It drains to the mudwell and is then pumped back through the plant.
As a procedure, the staff is reviewing a different method in letting the sludge dry and then physically
removing it rather than letting it go back into the plant.
As a result of the sludge, it caused an unstable biological environment in the ditch and the staff took the
following remedial actions to bring the plant back into compliance.
• Added 600 gallons of 25% caustic for PH adjustment — 300gpd
• Added 4 gallons of Nitrifies
• Added 4 gallons of Ammonia Assimilator
• Added 10 — 16 ounce bags of Vita Stim low food to mass.
I believe the City took the appropriate actions to bring the plant back into compliance and will continue
working on procedures and training to ensure compliance with all permit conditions.
Sincerely,
,City ager

S. JAY ZIMMERMAN
Direcror
On June 22, 2017, Ted Cashion of this office conducted an inspection at the subject facility. The
cooperation of Lamont Allen, ORC and Treatment Plant Director, and Derrel Johnson, Lab Manager, was
appreciated. Findings during the inspection were as follows:
1. The current NPDES permit expired March 31, 2017. The City has submitted an application for
renewal of the permit as required.
2. The 4.14 mgd treatment plant was recently upgraded and consists of an influent pump station
with 4 pumps, 2 mechanical bar screens with compactors, grit removal, influent ultrasonic flow
meter, dual oxidation ditches with BNR zones (1 in use), 2 — 16 feet deep circular clarifiers,
return sludge pump station, 4 tertiary filters (1 down for repair), contact chamber (no chlorine
added), post aeration tank, UV system, a one million gallon aerobic digester (approximately 50%
full), a one million gallon sludge holding tank (nearly empty), a drum sludge thickener, and
caustic feed tanks. All units in use appeared to be operating satisfactorily. This office requests
that treatment units that have been abandoned (pure oxygen basin, clarifiers, anaerobic digesters,
etc.) and will not be used by the City be properly demolished for employee and environmental
safety. All solids, sludge, water, etc. must be removed from all abandoned units.
3. The flow meter appeared to be recording flow within + 10% of the actual flow as required. You
are reminded that the flow meter must be calibrated annually, and anytime the flow is not being
recorded within 10% of the actual flow.
4. Mr. Allen stated the City has rectified the contractor problems experienced with the plant upgrade
except for some punch list items.
5. Both clarifiers are fitted with brushes on the arm of the sweeper to clean the weirs. The weirs
were clean and showed equal weir overflow rates. Effluent from the clarifiers was clear and free
of excess solids.

6. A cursory check of laboratory data and discharge monitoring report (DMR) data for March 2017
showed consistent reporting of results.
7. This office issued a Notice of Violation & Intent to Assess Civil Penalty dated June 12, 2017 for
BOD and ammonia violations that occurred in March 2017. Mr. Allen stated a response to the
violations is being prepared.
8. A cursory check of lab equipment showed proper temperatures were being maintained.
9. The effluent appeared clear and free of excessive solids. The receiving stream showed no visible
detrimental impacts.
10. Mr. Johnson stated the influent and effluent samplers were programmed to collect samples flow
proportionally as required; 600 mis of sample is collected every 75,000 gallons at the effluent,
and 450 mis of sample is collected every 75,000 gallons at the influent. Temperatures of the
samplers were 4° C and 3° C, respectively.
11. Access to the facility has been secured with the addition of a gate installed at the entrance to the
facility.
12. Sludge is land applied by Granville Farms.
13. One of the tertiary filters was down due to a faulty valve. It is recommended that the City
consider upgrading the control system for the tertiary filters to ensure all filters remain
operational at all times.
Please provide this office with a written response to the City's approach to demolish the abandoned
treatment units noted in item 2. Please submit this information by September 1, 2017.
If you have questions concerning this report please contact Ted Cashion at 919-7914254 or

SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION INFORMATION
PART E. TOXICITY TESTING DATA
POTws meeting one or more of the following criteria must provide the results of whole effluent toxicity tests for acute or chronic toxicity for each of the
facility's discharge points: 1) POTWs with a design flow rate greater than or equal to 1.0 mgd; 2) POTWs with a pretreatment program (or those that are
required to have one under 40 CFR Part 403): or 3) POTWs required by the permitting authority to submit data for these parameters.
• At a minimum, these results must include quarterly testing for a 12-month period within the past 1 year using multiple species (minimum of two
species), or the results from four tests performed at least annually in the four and one-half years prior to the application, provided the results
show no appreciable toxicity, and testing for acute and/or chronic toxicity, depending on the range of receiving water dilution. Do not include
information on combined sewer overflows in this section. All information reported must be based on data collected through analysis conducted
using 40 CFR Part 136 methods. In addition, this data must comply with QA/QC requirements of 40 CFR Part 136 and other appropriate CA/QC
requirements for standard methods for analytes not addressed by 40 CFR Part 136,
• In addition, submit the results of any other whole effluent toxicity tests from the past four and one-half years. If a whole effluent toxicity test
conducted during the past four and one-half years revealed toxicity, provide any information on the cause of the toxicity or any results of a
toxicity reduction evaluation, if one was conducted.
• If you have already submitted any of the information requested in Part E, you need not submit it again. Rather, provide the information
requested in question EA for previously submitted information. If EPA methods were not used, report the reasons for using alternate methods.
If test summaries are available that contain all of the information requested below, they may be submitted in place of Part E.
If no biomonitoring data is required, do not complete Part E. Refer to the Application Overview for directions on which other sections of the forth to
complete.

SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION INFORMATION
PART E. TOXICITY TESTING DATA
POTWs meeting one or more of the following criteria must provide the results of whole effluent toxicity tests for acute or chronic toxicity for each of the
facility's discharge points. 1) POTWs with a design flow rate greater than or equal to 1.0 mgd; 2) POTWs with a pretreatment program (or those that are
required to have one under 40 CFR Part 403); or 3) POTWs required by the permitting authority to submit data for these parameters.
• At a minimum, these results must include quarterly testing for a 12-month period within the past 1 year using multiple species (minimum of two
species), or the results from four tests performed at least annually in the four and one-half years prior to the application, provided the results
show no appreciable toxicity, and testing for acute and/or chronic toxicity, depending on the range of receiving water dilution. Do not include
information on combined sewer overflows in this section. All information reported must be based on data collected through analysis conducted
using 40 CFR Part 136 methods. In addition, this data must comply with QA/QC requirements of 40 CFR Part 136 and other appropriate QA/QC
requirements for standard methods for analytes not addressed by 40 CFR Part 136.
• In addition, submit the results of any other whole effluent toxicity tests from the past four and one-half years. If a whole effluent toxicity test
conducted during the past four and one-half years revealed toxicity, provide any information on the cause of the toxicity or any results of a
toxicity reduction evaluation, If one was conducted.
• If you have already submitted any of the information requested in Part E, you need not submit it again. Rather, provide the information
requested in question EA for previously submitted information. If EPA methods were not used, report the reasons for using alternate methods.
If lest summaries are available that contain all of the information requested below, they may be submitted in place of Part E.

SUPPLEMENTAL APPLICATION INFORMATION
PART E. TOXICITY TESTING DATA
POTWs meeting one or more of the following criteria must provide the results of whole effluent toxicity tests for acute or chronic toxicity for each of the
facility's discharge points: 1) POTWs with a design flow rate greater than or equal to 1.0 mgd, 2) POTWs with a pretreatment program (or those that are
required to have one under 40 CFR Part 403); or 3) POTWs required by the permitting authority to submit data for these parameters.
• At a minimum, these results must include quarterly testing for a 12-month period within the past 1 year using multiple species (minimum of two
species), or the results from four tests performed at least annually in the four and one -hall years prior to the application, provided the results
show no appreciable toxicity, and testing for acute and/or chronic toxicity, depending on the range of receiving water dilution. Do not include
information on combined sewer overflows in this section. All information reported must be based on data collected through analysis conducted
using 40 CFR Part 136 methods. In addition, this data must comply with QA/QC requirements of 40 CFR Part 136 and other appropriate QA/QC
requirements for standard methods for analyles not addressed by 40 CFR Part 136.
• In addition, submit the results of any other whole effluent toxicity tests from the past four and one-half years. If a whole effluent toxicity test
conducted during the past four and one -halt years revealed toxicity, provide any information on the cause of the toxicity or any results of a
toxicity reduction evaluation, If one was conducted.
• If you have already submitted any of the information requested in Part E, you need not submit it again. Rather, provide the information
requested in question EA for previously submitted information. If EPA methods were not used, report the reasons for using alternate methods.

Subject: VIOLATION OF WEEKLY NH-3-N LIMITS
Importance: High
Dear Mr. Smith,
From 5-5-16 to 5-6-16 we had very heavy rainfall (over 3 inches) at the Henderson Water Reclamation Facilitythat
increased the plant flow from 2.0 MGD to 7.5 MGD.
On 5-6-16 our NH3-N in our effluent was 2.4 mg/I which I was not surprised by since I have seen NH3-N spike up for a
short time after a heavy rain. On 5-7-16 the NH3-N had increased to 6.2 mg/I but I still thought the nitrification would
recover quickly. On 5-9-16 the NH3-N had increased to 8.6 mg/L I put the Oxidation Ditch aerators in hand and turned
them to maximum. The DO was 0.45 mg/I but that didn' t concern me because we always run in that range. On 5-10, 11
and 12 the NH3-N continued to climb with values of 10.8, 13.7 and 13.8 mg/l. On 5-10-16 [added 1,000 pounds of lime to
the system to avoid having a PH drop. During each of these three days I added cultured ammonia nitrifiers into the
oxidation ditch. There was no impact as the results indicate. I have used these type of nitrifiers to supplement the
activated sludge in the past with great success. I' ve never seen a situation like this. On 5-13-161 decided to add 55
gallons of H2O2 into the Oxidation Ditch. Within three hours the NH3-N had dropped to 4.7 mg/I. I don' t know if the
H2O2 had this effect or if the nitrifiers were naturally recovering. On 5-14-16 the NH3-N had dropped to 0.2 mg/l. Our
weekly average (Monday through Friday) was 10.3 mg/1 and our permit weekly average limit is 9.0 mg/I thus we exceeded
our limit by 1.3 mg/l. We did run NH3-N on Saturday, 5-14-16, and the results were 0.2 mg/l. If we are allowed to use that
result it would give us a 6 day weekly average of 8.6 mg/I which would be 0.4 mg/I below our permit limits.
The entire period of problems with the nitrifiers our highest effluent Bod was 5.8 mg/I and TSS was 6.2 mg/l. There are as
many cultured nitrifiers in a gallon as there are nitrifiers in the average 1,000,000 gallons of MLSS.
If you need further information you can contact me at 252-432-4547.

Mr. Smith:
RE: NOD-2016-PC-0030
Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Henderson Wastewater Treatment Plant
NDPES Permit: NC0020559
Vance County
I am writing in response to the items as requested in the report referred to above and also
provide an overall report of working with the surety company to complete the plant constructions
as started by Devere Construction. Items #14 information has been supplied by Tom Spain,
HWRF Director.
Item #1
The City has been working hard with Granville Farms to empty our Aerobic Digester.
We finished emptying it and washed it out on 4-26-16. The blower that was damaged was
brought back by the supplier on 5-4-16. He stated he was waiting for a part to be delivered to the
plant to make final repairs. We have two additional Blowers connecter to the aerators. It only
takes two to fully run the Aerobic Digester. Turner Murphy worked on May 6, 2016 to repair a
crimped airline on one of the blowers, but it appears like it may crimp also. The contractor has
continued to work on this problem to get it resolved. The digester is fully operational at present.
The system will mix and fully aerate sludge right now, but we have been working with the surety
company and its contractor to get this fully resolved. (See attached letter- McGill Associates)

Item # 2
We have emptied and completely cleaned the Aerobic Digester on 4-26-16 which is
1,000,000 gallons in capacity and is 50% of our sludge storage capacity at the plant and should
provide five months of room to store and digest the plant's sludge. We have also received a
proposal from Granville Farms, Inc., our contract sludge hauler, to empty and clean our
1,000,000 gallon Sludge Holding Tank.
Item #3
It is the professional opinion of Mr. Spain, that the sludge solids that washed out of the
plant because of I & I was not made worse by an excessive amount of sludge solids held in the
plant. From January Is1, 2016 to February 29, 2016 we wasted 2,726,217 gallons of sludge
from the plant. During the 59 day period we wasted an average of 46,217 gallons per day for 59
days. Our F/M design is 00.5 to 0.10 lbs. BOD/lbs. MLVSS. We were actually running at 0.17.
Running a higher F/M helps control Norcardia bacteria and foam. At a lower F/M
Norcardia out competes the other organisms for food. At a higher F/M the "good" bacteria
become more competitive and hold the Norcardia in check. Please refer to attachments A, B and
C. We didn't just receive I & I on the 17d' we had a lot of the water that was snow melt. The
influent temperature dropped 15 to 20 degrees. When an Oxidation Ditch cools down from snow
melt the density of the water and MLSS become much closer to each other leading to very poor
settle ability.
Item # 4
The City finally has Turner Murphy as our Contractor to finish the plant upgrade. They
have agreed to give erosion sediment control and construction storm water their top priority in
their schedule. They pumped the water out of the detention basin last week and plan to be back
on the week of the 1 Od' with the crew and equipment to do whatever it takes to bring the system
into compliance
It is important to note that the clarifier that was out of order has been repaired was
started back up on May 2, 2016.
The new gate was a part of Devere's project and will be completed by the surety's
contractor. The gate was not designed in accordance with the City's desired operation, so it will
be done by change order or by utilizing part of the existing gate and possibly new controls so that
it can be properly monitored from the administration building.
The City has experienced a good track record in the past and is committed to correcting
the difficult situation it was thrust into when Devere determined that it was no longer able to
complete the remaining work. We do believe that the surety company has selected a good
contractor to complete this work and can get it done in a timely manner. We believe we are near
reaching an agreement to have the entire punch list and other items repaired and done so within a
certain timeframe.

If there is any additional information needed, please feel free to call either myself or Mr.
Spain at 252-430-5701 or 252431-6081 respectively.
Thank you for your consideration as we work toward improving our processes and total
completion of our new facility.
Sincerely,
Ae-01

RE: Aerobic Digester Aeration System Repairs
Henderson WRF Improvements
Henderson, North Carolina
To Whom It May Concern:
This letter is to serve as official notice that the installation of the aeration hose to one of
the submersible aeration/mixer units located within the aerobic digester manufactured by
AquaTec, Inc. and installed by DeVere Construction Co., Inc. for the subject project is
unacceptable. The air hose, as
shown in the photo to the right, is 'rnot adequately supported, and ,
therefore results in kinking _
(particularly at lower liquid
levels) at the point of connection
to the submersible unit. This issue
has been reported to DeVere, the
manufacturer, and listed on punch
lists, but no changes have been
made. Based on documentation in
the manufacturers operation and
maintenance manuals, this
condition should not occur and
must be addressed.
The operations staff at the
facility currently has the liquid sludge level lowered in the tank, thus exposing the problem hose,
and easing repairs over when the tank would be in a more full operation state.

Qlf+re: R3R.3_N.20'd • Far: 828.3 ,V.3N70 • u•u'n.wrgi/hwginarrs.tunr

We request that the manufacturer review this installation immediately, and provide a
remediation method (possibly a swivel connection at the point of the kink, or additional hose
supports). Further, the City will need to resume placing residuals into the basin by May 16, at
which point the hose will begin to become submerged. Since this condition does not meet the
manufacturer's requirements, the City cannot be held responsible for damage to any of the related
blowers, mixers, piping, valves, or appurtenances even beyond the specified warranty. Also, this
equipment is vital to proper mixing and aeration of residuals for digestion, and the kinked hose
hampers the designed operation. Consequently, repairs to this aeration hose are urgent and cannot
continue to be delayed. Therefore, we request that the necessary repairs be made by May 31, 2016.
Please review the issue and provide us with a schedule for completing the work. If you
have any questions concerning this letter, please feel free to give me a call at [phone].

Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Henderson WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO020559
Vance County
Dear Mr. Frazier:
ss"My
S. JAY ZIMMERMAN
Dl a or
On March 23, 2016, Erin Deck and Ted Cashion of this office conducted an inspection at the
subject facility. The cooperation of Tom Spain, ORC, and Derryl Johnson, Lab Manager, was
appreciated. Findings during the inspection were as follows:
1. The current NPDES permit will expire March 31, 2017. You are reminded to submit a
renewal application no later than 180 days prior to the expiration date as required by Part
II, Section B.10. of your NPDES permit.
2. The 4.14 mgd treatment plant was recently upgraded and consists of an influent pump
station, 2 mechanical bar screens with compactors, grit removal, influent flow meter, dual
oxidation ditches with BNR zones (1 in use), 2 —16 feet deep circular clarifiers (1 in
use), return sludge pump station, 4 tertiary filters, contact chamber (no chlorine added),
post aeration tank, UV system, a one million gallon aerobic digester (approximately 90%
full), and a one million gallon sludge holding tank (approximately 85% full). Two
anaerobic digesters are on site but are not in use. Mr. Spain stated these digesters were
not cleaned out by a contractor, and therefore are not in use. Treatment units that have
been abandoned (pure oxygen basin and clarifiers) since the upgrade can be used as EQ
basins during high flows.
3. The City has experienced contractor problems with clarifiers, pumps for loading sludge
for land application, aerobic digester aerators and blowers, sludge holding tank
air/mixers, and anaerobic digesters. The City is working with a bonding company to
have the project finished.

1628 Mail Service Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-1628 Phone: [phone]
Location: 3800 Barrett Drive, Raleigh, NC 27609 Fax: [phone]

4. As noted in item 2 above, the aerobic digester and sludge holding tank are near capacity.
The City should be working towards removing sludge from the plant via the land
application permit (ensure the 503 regulations are complied with), and ensuring ancillary
equipment (blowers, aerators, mixers, pumps, etc.) for these units is operational.
5. The mechanical bar screens and grit removal equipment appeared to be operating
satisfactorily.
6. The 1 oxidation ditch in use had a lot of foam from Nocardia, a filamentous bacteria, per
Mr. Spain. There was also grease buildup in this unit. Efforts should be made to
control/reduce the amount of Nocardia, which inhibits the floc from settling properly.
A 1 hour settleometer showed a result of approximately 630. Normal results are typically
in the 200-300 range. There are several factors that contribute to the presence of
Nocardia. Literature states high levels of fats, oils, and grease (FOG) is one condition
that contributes to Nocardia Growth/Foam. The Town should ensure all
restaurants/businesses are compliant with the Town's pretreatment FOG program.
7. The 1 clarifier in use had a large amount of grease in the center well. Some pin floc was
observed discharging over the weirs. Brushes attached to the arm of the sweeper used to
clean the weirs were not functional. The overflow weirs of the clarifier were partially
blocked with algae. This can cause uneven weir overflow rates, create currents in the
clarifier, which can cause solids to escape the clarifier. Please ensure weirs are
maintained to ensure consistent and equal weir overflow rates to facilitate efficient
operation of the unit.
8. The post aeration basin, tertiary filters, and UV system appeared to be operating
satisfactorily.
9. A cursory check of laboratory data and discharge monitoring report (DMR) data for
September 2015 and January 2016 showed consistent reporting of results.
10. The City has reported 3 violations of the NPDES permit limits from January 2015 —
February 2016. A BOD weekly average violation in April 2015 was addressed by a
Notice of Violation. A BOD weekly average violation in March 2015 and a fecal
coliform weekly average violation in January 2015 each received a civil penalty of
$541.10 that has been paid and the cases closed.
11. A cursory check of lab equipment showed proper temperatures were being maintained
and calibration was satisfactory.
12. The effluent appeared clear and free of excessive solids. The receiving stream showed no
visible detrimental impacts.

13. Mr. Johnson stated the influent and effluent samplers were programmed to collect
samples flow proportionally; 600 mis of sample is collected every 75,000 gallons at each
location.
14. This office received an email from Mr. Spain on February 17, 2016 regarding sludge
washing out of a clarifier due to high flow from rainfall and 1 of 2 clarifiers being out of
service. Any violations of the NPDES permit reporting on the DMRs from this event will
be addressed under separate cover.
15. The W WTP property had several areas of erosion. A sediment basin onsite was nearly
full. The City must take action to maintain this basin and ensure sediment does not leave
the property and impact the stream.
16. Access to the facility is not secured. A gate must be installed at the entrance to the
facility.
Requested Response:
Please respond to this letter in writing within 30 days of receipt. You are requested to address
items 1- 4 listed below.
1. Please explain your efforts to remove sludge from the aerobic digester, the sludge holding
tank and when you anticipate affecting repairs to the units.
2. Please specifically detail what efforts the Town of Henderson is pursuing to
address/manage the elevated concentrations of solids stored in the plant.
3. On February 17, 2016 solids washed out of the plant. This wash out resulted in BOD and
TSS limit violations. It was explained that that loss of solids was attributed to Inflow
and infiltration (I&I), the number two clarifier being broken/off line and ongoing
construction. Please explain whether the excessive amount solids held in the plant further
contributed to the sludge loss.
4. Please explain the City's efforts to properly maintain the sediment basin and erosion
controls on the plant site. (Per this correspondence the Division of Energy, Mineral, and
Land Resources will be notified of erosion sediment control and construction stormwater
permit compliance (NCG010000) concerns.)
This office is aware that repairs and construction activities are ongoing at the wastewater
plant. Please understand that proper operations, maintenance, compliance with permit
conditions, and compliance with permit limits are not permit conditions that are transferable to
contractors or a bonding companies.
This office will review your response this letter, review the Discharge Monitoring Report(s) and
the information provided regarding the solids washout to determine if further action, including
civil penalty assessment are appropriate. Thank you for your attention to this matter. If you
have any questions please do not hesitate to contact Erin Deck, Ted Cashion or me at (919) 791-
4200.

Ted,
The design flow is 4.14 MGD. We added the 6.0 MGD when we were looking at expanding. We haven't expanded yet
but I renew the permit for 4.14 MGD and 6.0 MGD upon expansion to keep from having to do another environmental
impact statement whenever we do. This would save the City about a MILLION DOLLARS in cost whenever we do decide
to expand.
Thanks

FOLLOW UP TO WASH OUT OF SLUDGE ON 2-17-16
Mr. Danny Smith,
I am sending this email as a follow up to the wash out of solids on 2-17-16 because of high flow from heavy rainfall, the fact that our
number two clarifier was broken down and off line. We were awaiting warranty repairs by the Manufacturer. The contractor,
DeVere, Inc was our contractor but the company lost their Ncense to do construction work in North Carolina. All work came to a halt
on our Plant Upgrade Project. We had to make a comprehensive punch list of what was needed to finish our project and turn it over
to DeVere's bonding company. As soon as a contract is signed with the City construction will begin to finish the project. I contacted
the manufacturer of the Clarifier equipment (Hi -Tech) five times to try to get them to finish repair of the skimmer trough on the
clarifier. The trough had had slipped down on the inside of the clarifier and sunk approximately h" under the water surface of the
clarifier. Hi -Tech finally said they furnished the equipment but DeVere, Inc. had installed the equipment in the tank so they weren't
responsible to make warranty repairs. The City is very close to reaching a formal agreement with the bonding company. The bonding
has hired Turner Murphy Construction Company to finish the work remaining work at the plant. On a recent construction project
where the City upgraded our Sandy Creek Pump Station We found them to be very organized and work at a good pace while
producing quality work.
BELOW IS A LIST OF THE PARAMETERS THAT WERE VIOLATED IN OUR PERMIT
Day of Wash Out

The City regrets this washout of solids. We are always striving for environmental compliance.
We pumped solids back in the plant from the Post Aeration Tank and added concentrated nitrifiers
to our Oxidation Ditch which kept out NH3-N well in limits (Weekly 1.60 Mg/I and monthly 0.64 Mg/I.)

which was a mitigating factor. I hav

Danny,
We had over an inch of rainfall around 7:00 AM on 2-16-16. Our plant flow gradually increased
during the day until it was 7 to 8 MGD around 12: 00 Noon.
Suddenly the flow increased to 10 MGD and it was very cold from the ice melt. We had only one
of the two Oxidation Ditch final clarifiers on line. The other one
Had a scum trough extending the whole radius of the 95 foot diameter clarifier that had sunk
below the water in the center of the clarifier. We had to take it off line
And the engineer as well as I notified the factory of the problem. The flow of 10 MGD washed
sludge out of our remaining clarifier. We had a man backwash filters for
eight straight hours because the filters were blinding. My staff also moved a six inch portable
pump to the post air tank and pumped the flow into the mudwell which pumped
it back to the front of the plant. We put a lot of it back into the plant but quite a bit was
discharged too. I contribute the following reasons to the solids washout with the
first being the most important:
1. Broken clarifier out of service.
2. Flow of 10 MGD entering the plant 8 hours after heavy rainfall event at 7:00 AM
3. Incoming flow was very cold which made it harder for the sludge to settle.
4. Tertiary Filters were blinded and bypassed sludge even though we washed the
filters for eight consecutive hours
5. We recovered a lot of the sludge but there is just not a good way to recover it all.
The contractor and I had both notified the clarifier supplier that it had to be repaired. Note:
DeVere, Inc. is no longer our contractor. They lost their contractor's license in North Carolina.

the Bonding company, Liberty matual, has taken over the projec_ - iey are giving items that
involve health issues and any item that involves environmental compliance top priority to be
repaired first.
Our Aerobic Digester has two aerators and two blowers out of service. I made verbal and
written requests to the contractor and engineering company that this equipment needed
immediate repair
With no success. I expect all of these repairs to start soon. I will keep you posted on the
progress.
The effluent monitoring results this morning were TSS=600+ NH3-N= 2.0 mg/I I expect
the BODs to be high too because we had to use very small dilutions to set the test up.
I think we will violate our TSS for certain. We may violate our BOD. I don't think we will violate
NH3-N.

health issues and any item that involves environmental compliance top priority to be repaired first.
Our Aerobic Digester has two aerators and two blowers out of service. I made verbal and written
requests to the contractor and engineering company that this equipment needed immediate repair
With no success. I expect all of these repairs to start soon. I will keep you posted on the progress.
The effluent monitoring results this morning were TSS=600+ NH3-N= 2.0 mg/1 I expect the
BODs to be high too because we had to use very small dilutions to set the test up.

I think we will violate our TSS for certain. We may violate our BOD. I don't think we will violate NH3-

Danny,
The contractor renovating our plant, DeVere Inc. walked off the job today and said they were
not coming back. The project is over a year behind schedule. I would think the City would look
into pulling his bond. I know several equipment suppliers had not been paid for months. DeVere
has accumulated a significant number of liquidated damage days. The City will have to evaluate
its options before taking action. I certainly hope it doesn't end up in court but I think it is very
likely it will. Some items not completed such as grade work will not affect the operation of the
plant but others like not being able to use our new progressive cavity pumps to load sludge for
land application are greatly affected because 500 feet of eight wires, the conduit, Boring under
the creek for access to the panel where two on/off switches needed to be installed were all left
off. It will take time and we will have to obtain funds to do this We have the VFDs with dead
shorts on two aerators and one blower. Another blower came all to pieces. The factory has not
supplied a replacement yet as required under warranty. We have one aerator and one blower
left to run the aerobic digester. I will take whatever action is needed to repair this equipment as
soon as the City Manager, Frank Frazier, and City Council decide how they want to proceed with
this situation. It is a complex situation and the City will likely end up in litigation. I will keep you
informed of the situation as it develops. DeVere was supposed to clean our two anaerobic
digesters. I was going to used them foe an extra 250,000 gallons of sludge storage. They left
without cleaning the tanks. I don't know what the warranty on our equipment will be. It was 18
months after delivery or12 months after Installation but a lot of it has been here over 18
months before it was installed.

Sincerely,
Thomas M. Spain

Case No. NOV-2015-LV-0478
Dear Mr. Smith,
I don't contest the BOD weekly violation for the week ending 4-25-15 but there were
some mitigating factors. The two days prior to the sampling event the flow entering the
plant was 4.746 MGD and 4.422 MGD as a result of heavy rainfall. These flows were
above the plant capacity of 4.14 MGD. Also, even though we were carrying extra sludge
in the plant the biggest reason for it washing out was because it was full of Norcardia
bacteria and foam. When Ted Cashion read the settleometer in our lab he didn't realize it
had Norcardia bacteria which expanded the blanket. Our weekly BOD limit was 9.0 mg/1
at the time of the weekly violation of 10.840.1 know this one excursion of
the BOD limit should have little or no effect on major aquatic life in Nutbush Creek.
We do not have a history of BOD violations. In fact during last year's inspection we

were complemented by the state for being in compliance with all permit limits for the
year.
I request under the circumstances that no fine be issued for this violation. Operation
of our plant has been extremely difficult with the major renovation taking place. We have
always kept compliance as our goal when operating our plant.
You can contact me at 252-432-4547 if you need further information.

Description of Collection System and Treatment Process:
The treatment plant is designed for a flow of 4.14 million gallons per day of wastewater and
receives an average of 3.048 million eallons per day. The plant treated 1,112,641, 667 PaHons
from July 1, 2014 to June 30, 2015.
The treatment process consists of rag and grit removal, an Oxidation Ditch, final clarification,
sludge digestion and thickening, filtration, post aeration and ultraviolet disinfection. The grit
and rag removal units, Oxidation Ditch has been under construction for two and one half
years and is now in operation with the end of the construction nearing.
The collection system consists of approximately one hundred eighty-two and 57/100 (182.57)
miles of gravity sewer and force main lines, thirteen (13) pumping stations that convey the

II. Performance Summary
The City of Henderson's Industrial Pretreatment Program, HWRF Stormwater Program and
Laboratory were in compliance with all permit limits durine this performance period.

The treatment plant bio-solids are applied at agronomic rates to farmland by a private contractor,
Granville Farms, Inc. The City of Henderson's Water Reclamation Facility produced 3,192,000
gallons of bio-solids which were applied to farmland and met all Permit conditions.
The City of Henderson's Water Reclamation Facility was inspected by two representative of the
Raleigh Regional Office, Division of Water Quality on March 25s', 2015. The inspectors noted
A small amount of grit material that needed to be cleaned up algae growth in or final clarifier
weirs that needed cleaning off and they noted a large amount of sludge in the plant that
needed to be removed. We were working on this but not obtaining our extra sludge digestion
on time and our contract hauler, Granville Farms being delayed from hauling by bad weather
severely restricted our ability to waste sludge.
The City of Henderson Water Reclamation Facility Stormwater System was inspected by
the plant staff and found to have mud in them. The contractor did not do a very good job of
practicing storm water control. The City plans to have him clean the storm drains at the end of the
project. The Industrial Pretreatment Program was inspected by the Division of Water Quality and is
in compliance with all the pretreatment regulations. The HWRF Lab Staff conducted 11
inspections of our industries this year. They issued fines for 13 violations that totaled $3 400
The Laboratory was not inspected by the State DWQ, but it is being operated in compliance with
all State DWO regulations. They obtained acceptable results on all certification parameters
required by the state
The Pretreatment Annual Report was reviewed by the State DWO and was determined to be
adequate.
The City of Henderson's Collection System was not inspected during this reporting period
But internal inspections by the staff is keeping the system in compliance.
and fines of $2,400. The City failed to distribute the Grease Goblin Flyers to the Public this Year.
The Administrative Assistant and Technician who conducted most of the inspections and handled
the paperwork of the FOG Program resigned from City employment this year
Flyers were replenished at City Hall's receptionist area as needed.
For the period of July 1, 2014 thru June 30, 2015 the City of Henderson Collection System staff
cut 8,632 feet (1.60 miles) of the right-of-ways and performed 100 % of their semiannual inspection of
priority lines and manholes within the system. They actually inspected many of them on a weekly
basis. The staff cleaned 217483 feet (41.19 miles) of sewer line with the Jet Vac and rodded 550 feet
(0.14 miles). This is 22.6% of the entire system and exceeds the State DWQ requirement by 13.4% of
cleaning 10% of the system per year. Mow/Infiltration repairs made: 28 cleanouts were repaired, 19
cleanouts were installed and 60 were repaired. 5 manholes were repaired, 8 rings and 8 manhole lids
were replaced. It is known that inflow/infiltration was reduced but the quantity was not estimated
The City of Henderson Water Reclamation Facility had_one bypass event between July 1, 2014 and June
30, 2015. It was 60 gallons and 30 gallons entered the Roanoke River Basin.

The City of Henderson's Collection System (pump stations and gravity and/or force main lines)
overflowed a total of 18,200 gallons of untreated wastewater between July 1, 2014 and June 30,
2015
There were 3 overflows of the pump stations and 5 overflows of the gravity lines. All of the

Case No. NOV-2015-LV-2015-0106
Dear Mr. Smith,
N
O
I don't contest the BOD weekly violation of 33.30 mg/I for the week ending 3-7-15 but
there were some mitigating factors: The flow was elevated because of rainfall and we had
Norcardia foam in our sludge which helped some of it to wash over the final clarifiers. This
caused the tertiary filters to blind and some of the flow to bypass them. This is what
caused the BOD to be elevated. I thought about this situation a lot. I had two contractors
that were supposed to provide services that would have alleviated the sludge build up in my
plant. Granville Farms couldn't haul enough sludge during a two month period to allow me
to reduce the sludge inventory. DeVere, Inc., our construction contractor was supposed to
have my Aerobic Digester completed and turned over to me by 12-15-14.
The City of Henderson has been doing business with Granville Farms since 1988 and they
have always been able to haul our sludge on time until now. Both Granville Farms and

DeVere kept promising me they would meet their schedules. My problem is I believed them
And expected any day for Granville Farms to increase their speed hauling sludge and for
DeVere to deliver the Aerobic Digester to me. Maybe I should have called in Synagro
to help haul the sludge, but one thing I had to consider is Granville Farms has permitted
farmland in Person County, Granville County and Warren County (working on Vance
County) over a 27 year period for the City of Henderson. If they got upset by me bringing in
another contractor they could refuse to haul for Henderson which could include our water
plant. If they left it could take Henderson years to try to get the land permitted that we need.
The way I see it is we had two contractors whose actions or inaction led to our plant
violation. One of them, DeVere, Inc is the same company that the State DOT banned from
bidding on any more of their contracts. I'm sure the DOT failed to meet a lot of goals they
planned on meeting. I request that under these circumstances that no NOV or fine be issued
for this violation. Operation of our plant has been extremely difficult with the major
renovation taking place. We have always kept compliance as our goal when operating our
plant. You can contact me at 252-432-4547 if you need further information. PS: Having
DeVere as a contractor should negate at least 5 to 10 NOVs.

Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing in response to several findings during the Compliance Evaluation Inspection
performed by Erin Deck and Ted Cashion on March 25, 2015.
One of the main concerns that your inspectors are concerned about is the amount of solids in the
plant. Upon a voice mail received from Mr. Cashion and yourself, calls were made immediately to
Granville Farms (sludge handler and land application of sludge) to insure that we are given priority with
our sludge. Since that time, the weather has somewhat cooperated and Granville Farms has hauled 31
loads of sludge since the inspection took place. In addition, Mr. Spain and his staff have worked on the
DAF Sludge Thickener and it was back in service as of Monday, April 6th. Also a part of the project is
the utilization of the existing aerobic digester for handling sludge. The City was promised this work
would be completed several weeks ago; however, it had not been properly cleaned out (sand) as stated in
the contract. Our Finance office was instructed to hold any future payments until this work was done so
the City would have access to the aerobic digester. This was discussed at a HWRF Progress meeting on
Thursday, April 9, 2015 and Devere Construction advised the City a crane was scheduled to be at the
HWRF site on Monday, April 13, 2015 and that cleaning and removal of the sand in the tank would
begin. I am pleased to say that this work began on Monday, April 13 and the tank is cleaned so that
testing can begin and the tank ready to be used by the City by the middle of next week or sooner, if
possible.
The City will continue to utilize Granville Farms to remove as much sludge as possible in the
meantime and Mr. Spain is also exploring other options with different haulers if needed.
Based on the last progress meeting, it is anticipated that flow would be diverted to the new
components of the plant around the first of May.
The City is working diligently with its contractor to complete this project while at the same time
maintaining compliance. Once grading operations are performed at the head of the plant permanent
fencing, an automated gate and security cameras will be reinstalled and operational.

I am attaching further information to you from Mr. Spain detailing what actions have been taken
to reduce the sludge levels at the water reclamation plant.
If you have any questions concerning this response, please call either Frank Frazier or Mr. Tom
Spain at 252430-5703 or 252431-6081 respectively.

Dear Mr. Smith,
As you are aware, I have tried to keep you informed of problems we have had at the plant
during this two year construction period.
Since the latter half of November we have been gradually accumulating excess sludge in the
plant Andy Smith with Granville Farms had been hauling sludge for us since the first of
November, but our sludge holding tank was gradually filling up because Mr. Smith was
restricted by weather on how much sludge he could haul. We gradually filled the sludge holding
tank, both anarobic digesters, the pure oxygen digesters, two primary clarifiers and one final
clarifier.
We kept thinking the weather would break any day and we could empty our sludge holding tank
but it didn't. In fact, the weather was so bad in February that Mr. Smith could only haul 5 loads
which was 35,000 of sludge. This really put us in a crisis so I decided to pump the supernatant
off the top of the sludge holding tank.
I was very concerned about overloading the plant with nh3-n and phosphorus so I dewatered the
tank slowly and we stayed in compliance. I had 400,000 gallons of room in the sludge in the
holding tank when I finished. I got the staff to immediately start wasting 80,000 gallons per day
to our daf for thickening and pumping to the digester.
The volume after thickening was approximately 8,000 gallons. We are running our DAF 20
hours per day. I was very concerned about the SVI going up as high asl58.8 but we have also
had readings as low as 106.4.
We have had settleometer readings as high as 940MIA and as low as 820 mUl. It is going to take
some time before we get the sludge back to normal levels in our plant but I feel like we've
finally turned the comer and are headed towards normal performance again. We also should

have possession of the new aerobic digester. This will give us 1.5 million in empty storage. I
forgot to mention that after I dewatered the sludge holding tank to 400,000 gallons operating 24
hours a day Mr. Smith was able to match our sludge production and empty an additional
100,000 gallons.
We had one violation related to the sludge build up in the plant. It occurred during a storm when
extra solids were washed out.

BY:.........
On March 25, 2015 Erin Deck and Ted Cashion from the Raleigh Regional Office conducted an inspection
of the City's wastewater treatment'piant. The cooperation of Tom Spain, ORC, and Derryl Johnson, Lab
Manager, was appreciated. Findings during the:inspection were as follows:
1. The current-NPDES permit will expire March 31, 2017. You are reminded to subroka renewal
a pplication no later than-180 days prior to,the expiration date as required, by Part (, Section
B.10. of your NPDES permit.
2. Treatment units in use at the facility include a mechanical bar screen, manual bar screen, grit
chamber, primary clarifiers, pure oxygen activated sludge nitrification basin, final clarifiers,
tertiary filters, post aeration, UV disinfection, anaerobic digester, and a sludge holding tank. The
facility is undergoing a plant upgrade to include new headworks, oxidation ditches, final
clarifiers, sludge thickening, and aerobic digester. Estimated completion for the upgrade is 2-3
months.
3. There is a tremendous amount of solids.in the plant. The lab ran a one hour settleometer test
the morning of the inspection, with a result of 840 ml/I. A typical normal, acceptable
settleometer test result is 200-300 ml/I. Mr. Spain acknowledged the excessive solids problem
and stated the contractor had stated in the past that the additional aerobic digester under
construction would be available for use by the City in December 2014 (not met), and then again
that the digester would be available to the City March 15, 2015 (not met). Granville Farms, who
contracts with the City to land apply sludge, has not been able to remove sludge from the plant
in afiew months due to inclement weather. Mr. Cashion left a voice mail with Frank Frazier,
Assistant City Manager, the day of the inspection stating that the plant has a tremendous
amount of'solids, and is in danger of violating the permitted effluent limits.. Mr. Danny Smith
left a voice message for Mr. Frazier on March 26, 2015 stating that the City has an option to

r,egl)ested bythe City and the new land application company. The Citymay also consider
managing its own land application program if sufficient land is available to the City. A permit
application is required to be submitted to the Division if the City wishes to pursue this option.
4. The mechanical and manual bar screens appeared to be operating satisfactorily. Grit from the
grit chamber had become compacted and unable to be removed by the auger. Mr. Spain
summoned an operator to address this issue during the inspection. Screenings are disposed of
in the Person County landfill. There was a small amount of grit debris on the ground in this area.
Please ensure all releases are properly cleaned up. These units will be taken out of service when
the new plant is placed in operation. .1.
5. The influent flow reported on the discharge monitoring report (DMR) is via a 24" Parshall flume
with an ultrasonic flow meter that was calibrated March 2015. You are reminded that the flow
meter must be calibrated at a minimum of once per year and maintained to ensure the accuracy
of the measurement is less than 10% from the true discharge rate as required by Part II. Section
D.3. of your NPDES permit. This flow measurement location will be taken out of service when
the new plant is placed in operation.
6. The influent and effluent composite samplers are programmed to collect 250 ml of sample per
100,000 gallons, per Mr. Johnson. Refrigerator units for these samplers were VC and 4° C,
respectively, compliant with sampling requirements.
7. Three of the four rectangular primary clarifiers were in use. One was being utilized to store
solids. These units will be taken out of service when the new plant is placed in operation.
8. The pure oxygen activated sludge basin is enclosed, and operates with a very slight increase in
atmospheric pressure. Mixers ensure the activated sludge is maintained to ensure efficient
treatment. Several process control tests are performed daily on this unit. This unit will be taken
out of service when the new plant is placed in operation.
9. There are four circular final clarifiers. One of the clarifiers was used for sludge storage, and one
of the clarifiers is placed in service during high flow periods. The overflow weirs of the clarifiers
were blocked with algae. This can cause uneven weir overflow rates, create currents in the
clarifiers, which can cause solids to escape the clarifier. Please ensure weirs are maintained to
ensure consistent and equal weir overflow rates to facilitate efficient operation of the unit.
These units will be taken out of service when the new plant is placed in operation.
10. The four tertiary filters, post aeration basin, and UV disinfection system appeared to be
operating satisfactorily. These units will remain in service when the new plant is placed in
operation.
11. The effluent appeared clear and free of excess solids.

City of Henderson CEI
Page 3
12. The one million gallon sludge holding tank was approximately 65% full. It is recommended that
the City continue to waste solids from the treatment system to this unit to assist in complying
with the NPDES permit limits. This unit will remain in service when the new plant is placed in
operation.
13. A cursory review of lab data and DMR data for September 2014 showed consistent reporting of
results.
14. A review of temperature logs In the lab showed incubators were consistently in compliance.
15. Fencing surrounding the treatment plant was on the ground in areas. Please ensure access is
limited to the facility at all times.
Please respond in writing within 15 days of receipt of this letter informing this office action the City has
taken to remove solids from the plant. Please provide an update when the additional aerobic digester

Dear Mr. Smith,
I am writing in response to several findings during the Compliance Evaluation Inspection
performed by Erin Deck and Ted Cashion on March 25, 2015.
One of the main concerns that your inspectors are concerned about is the amount of solids in the
plant Upon a voice mail received from Mr. Cashion and yourself, calls were made immediately to
Granville Farms (sludge handler and land application of sludge) to insure that we are given priority with
our sludge. Since that time, the weather has somewhat cooperated and Granville Farms has hauled 31
loads of sludge since the inspection took place. In addition, Mr. Spain and his staff have worked on the
DAF Sludge Thickener and it was back in service as of Monday, April 6th. Also a part of the project is
the utilization of the existing aerobic digester for handling sludge. The City was promised this work
would be completed several weeks ago; however, it had not been properly cleaned out (sand) as stated in
the contract. Our Finance office was instructed to hold any future payments until this work was done so
the City would have access to the aerobic digester. This was discussed at a HWRF Progress meeting on
Thursday, April 9, 2015 and Devere Construction advised the City a crane was scheduled to be at the
HWRF site on Monday, April 13, 2015 and that cleaning and removal of the sand in the tank would
begin. I am pleased to say that this work began on Monday, April 13 and the tank is cleaned so that
testing can begin and the tank ready to be used by the City by the middle of next week or sooner, if
possible.
The City will continue to utilize Granville Farms to remove as much sludge as possible in the
meantime and Mr. Spain is also exploring other options with different haulers if needed.
Based on the last progress meeting, it is anticipated that flow would be diverted to the new
components of the plant around the fast of May.
The City is working diligently with its contractor to complete this project while at the same time
maintaining compliance. Once grading operations are performed at the head of the plaut permanent
fencing, an automated gate and security cameras will be reinstalled and operational.

I am attaching further information to you from Mr. Spain detailing what actions have been taken
to reduce the sludge levels at the water reclamation plant.
If you have any questions concerning this response, please call either Frank Frazier or Mr. Tom
Spain at252-430-5703 or252-431-6081 respectively.
Sincerely,
we'

Dear Mr. Smith,
As you are aware, I have tried to keep you informed of problems we have had at the plant
during this two year construction period.
Since the latter half of November we have been gradually accumulating excess sludge in the
plant Andy Smith with Granville Farms had been hauling sludge for us since the first of
November, but our sludge holding tank was gradually filling up because Mr. Smith was
restricted by weather on how much sludge he could haul. We gradually filled the sludge holding
tank, both anarobic digesters, the pure oxygen digesters, two primary clarifiers and one final
clarifier.
We kept thinking the weather would break any day and we could empty our sludge holding tank
but it didn't. In fact, the weather was so bad in February that Mr. Smith could only haul 5 loads
which was 35,000 of sludge. This really put us in a crisis so I decided to pump the supernatant
off the top of the sludge holding tank.
I was very concerned about overloading the plant with nh3-n and phosphorus so I dewatered the
tank slowly and we stayed in compliance. I had 400,000 gallons of room in the sludge in the
holding tank when I finished. I got the staff to immediately start wasting 80,000 gallons per day
to our daf for thickening and pumping to the digester.
The volume after thickening was approximately 8,000 gallons. We are running our DAF 20
hours per day. I was very concerned about the SVI going up as high asl58.8 but we have also
had readings as low as 106.4.
We have had settleometer readings as high as 940ml/l and as low as 820 ml/1. It is going to take
some time before we get the sludge back to normal levels in our plant but I feel like we've
finally turned the comer and are headed towards normal performance again. We also should

have possession of the new aerobic digester. This will give us 1.5 million in empty storage. I
forgot to mention that after I dewatered the sludge holding tank to 400,000 gallons operating 24
hours a day Mr. Smith was able to match our sludge production and empty an additional
100,000 gallons.
We had one violation related to the sludge build up in the plant. It occurred during a storm when
extra solids were washed out.

Compliance Evaluation Inspection
City of Henderson WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO020559
Vance County
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
On March 25, 2015 Erin Deck and Ted Cashion from the Raleigh Regional Office conducted an inspection
of the Cib/s wastewater treatment plant. The cooperation of Tom Spain, ORC, and Derryl Johnson, Lab
Manager, was appreciated. Findings during the inspection were as follows:
The current NPDES permit will expire March 31, 2017. You are reminded to submit a renewal
application no later than 180 days prior to the expiration date as required by Part II, Section
B.10. of your NPDES permit.
Treatment units in use at the facility include a mechanical bar screen, manual bar screen, grit
chamber, primary clarifiers, pure oxygen activated sludge nitrification basin, final clarifiers,
tertiary filters, post aeration, UV disinfection, anaerobic digester, and a sludge holding tank. The
facility is undergoing a plant upgrade to include new headworks, oxidation ditches, final
clarifiers, sludge thickening, and aerobic digester. Estimated completion for the upgrade is 2-3
months.
3. There is a tremendous amount of solids in the plant. The lab ran a one hour settleometer test
the morning of the inspection, with a result of 840 ml/l. A typical normal, acceptable
settleometer test result is 200-300 ml/I. Mr. Spain acknowledged the excessive solids problem
and stated the contractor had stated in the past that the additional aerobic digester under
construction would be available for use by the City in December 2014 (not met), and then again
that the digester would be available to the City March 15, 2015 (not met). Granville Farms, who
contracts with the City to land apply sludge, has not been able to remove sludge from the plant
in a few months due to inclement weather. Mr. Cashion left a voice mail with Frank Frazier,
Assistant City Manager, the day of the inspection stating that the plant has a tremendous
amount of -solids, and is i,n danger of violating the permitted effluent limits. Mr. Danny Smith
left a voice message for Mr. Frazier on March 26, 2015 stating that the City has an option to

contact additional sludge application companies and become permitted as a source of sludge on
their (land application company) land application permit. Emergency approval for sludge
removal from a company other than Granville Farms could be obtained from the Division if
requested by the City and the new land application company. The City may also consider
managing its own land application program if sufficient land is available to the City. A permit
application is required to be submitted to the Division if the City wishes to pursue this option.
4. The mechanical and manual bar screens appeared to be operating satisfactorily. Grit from the
grit chamber had become compacted and unable to be removed by the auger. Mr. Spain
summoned an operator to address this issue during the inspection. Screenings are disposed of
in the Person County landfill. There was a small amount of grit debris on the ground in this area.
Please ensure all releases are properly cleaned up. These units will be taken out of service when
the new plant is placed in operation.
5. The influent flow reported on the discharge monitoring report (DMR) is via a 24" Parshall flume
with an ultrasonic flow meter that was calibrated March 2015. You are reminded that the flow
meter must be calibrated at a minimum of once per year and maintained to ensure the accuracy
of the measurement is less than 10%from the true discharge rate as required by Part II. Section
D.3. of your NPDES permit. This flow measurement location will be taken out of service when
the new plant is placed in operation.
6. The influent and effluent composite samplers are programmed to collect 250 ml of sample per
100,000 gallons, per Mr. Johnson. Refrigerator units for these samplers were 30C and 4°C,
respectively, compliant with sampling requirements.
7. Three of the four rectangular primary clarifiers were in use. One was being utilized to store
solids. These units will be taken out of service when the new plant is placed in operation.
8. The pure oxygen activated sludge basin is enclosed, and operates with a very slight increase in
atmospheric pressure. Mixers ensure the activated sludge is maintained to ensure efficient
treatment. Several process control tests are performed daily on this unit. This unit will be taken
out of service when the new plant is placed in operation.
9. There are four circular final clarifiers. One of the clarifiers was used for sludge storage, and one
of the clarifiers is placed in service during high flow periods. The overflow weirs of the clarifiers
were blocked with algae. This can cause uneven weir overflow rates, create currents in the
clarifiers, which can cause solids to escape the clarifier. Please ensure weirs are maintained to
ensure consistent and equal weir overflow rates to facilitate efficient operation of the unit.
These units will be taken out of service when the new plant is placed in operation.
10. The four tertiary filters, post aeration basin, and UV disinfection system appeared to be
operating satisfactorily. These units will remain in service when the new plant is placed in
operation.
11. The effluent appeared clear and free of excess solids.

City of Henderson CEI
Page 3
12. The one million gallon sludge holding tank was approximately 65%full. It is recommended that
the City continue to waste solids from the treatment system to this unit to assist in complying
with the NPDES permit limits. This unit will remain in service when the new plant is placed in
operation.
13. A cursory review of lab data and DMR data for September 2014 showed consistent reporting of
results.
14. A review of temperature logs in the lab showed incubators were consistently in compliance.
15. Fencing surrounding the treatment plant was on the ground in areas. Please ensure access is
limited to the facility at all times.
Please respond in writing within 15 days of receipt of this letter informing this office action the City has
taken to remove solids from the plant. Please provide an update when the additional aerobic digester
will be available to the City, and an estimated completion date of the new additions to the treatment
plant. Also confirm with this office that fencing has been secured to limit access to the facility.

Danny,
I have been treating our activated sludge with Ammonia -Nitrogen Assimilator and nitrifiers since last week. The ammona-
nitrogen in the effluent dropped from 8.0 to 6.0 mg/l. Not much improvement We collected a sampe of MLSS and sent it
off to be tested for metas. I have competed three microscopic exams of the MLSS. I couldn't find anything alive on any of
the slides. It looks like we had a total kill of the MLSS, however if that was the case the ammonia -nitrogen in the effluent
should be the same as the infuent but it is slighty less than half. I believe the situation will get worse. I've never seen
activated sudge that looks this bad. If things don't turn around soon I plan to waste out most of the MLSS and reseed the
plant with a combination of MLSS from another plant and the bacteria we have been purchasiing. This situation is
discouraging. Even when we get the plant back operating correctly at any time the toxic substance could be dumped
again. This is a case if I find out who is doing it I'd recommend issuing one of those six figure fines and pour their
discharge full of concrete. I just don't unnderstand why peope do these kind of things. If you need additiona information
please email me or call my cell phone # [phone]. I will continue to keep you posted on the situation.

RE: Toxic substance has entered the Henderson Water Reclamation Facility and is having an

Dear Mr. Smith,
The Henderson Water Reclamation Facility has lost about a 1/3 of its nitrification capacity.
The situation seems to be a carbon copy of when we lost nitrification before.
Somethng toxic to the nitrifiers has entered the plant. All of the operating parameters for
the aeration tank are in the proper range but today we had ammonia nitrogen in our
effluent
Above 7.0 mg/I.. I contacted the gentleman that I purchased nitrifiers from last time and he
plans to send us a shipment Wednesday, 12-31-14. We likely will not get the
Bacteria until Friday since Thursday is a holiday. We ran a lot of tests on the plant last time
but never could determine what entered the plant. If this event is similar to the last one
Then the system will recover in 2 to 3 days after we add the nitrifiers. I will follow up to keep
you informed of the situation. If you need additional information please e-mail me or call

Dear Mr. Smith,
The Staff takes its job to properly operate the Henderson Water Reclamation Facility to
provide adequate protection for the environment very seriously and deeply regret when there is
any parameter violated in our NPDES permit.
As you may know, the Plant has been operating without the primary clarifiers and two
stage Tricking Filters that had to be removed to make room for the plant renovation. These units
normally removed over 50% of the influent organics and converted 30 to 40% of ammonia -
nitrogen to nitrate. At present the aeration tank has to convert 100% of the ammonia -nitrogen to
nitrate and receives the additional BOD that the Tricking Filters used to remove. The plant can
operate in this mode and meet limits as long as there is no upset to the process.
The ammonia -nitrogen violations listed were a direct result of something very toxic to
nitrifiers entering the plant. All the plant and laboratory logs were reviewed and it was
determined that all of the operating parameters were properly maintained before, during and after
the plant process upset. Metals and semi -volatile tests were conducted on our plant influent and
MLSS and the two main sewer interceptors in the collection system and our industrial discharges
were also tested. We found nothing that would explain the upset. An examination of the MLSS
was completed and a very evident reduction in mobility of the bacteria with some rupture of cell
Page 1 of 2

walls was observed. This is a strong indicator of toxic shock. In searching for a solution to the
problem, Kevin Ripp of Aquafix, Inc. who is an expert in helping a treatment plants recover
from toxic shocks was contacted. Nitrifiers were purchased from Aquafix, Inc. to reseed the
aeration tank. One gallon of the material contains approximately the same numbers of nitrifiers
as one million gallons of MLSS. In addition these nitrifiers have gradually been exposed to toxic
compounds until they have developed a resistance to them enhancing their chance for survival
and ability to rapidly start nitrifying. When we started application of the nitrifiers the effluent
ammonia -nitrogen rapidly dropped from 19.7 mg/1 to 2.6 mg/l. This is a very viable alternative
for an operator with such an upset to achieve compliance within 48 hours of initially dosing the
aeration tank.
Based on the above information, I believe you will see the HWRF Staff took immediate steps in
rectifying the problem and worked very diligently to bring the Plant back into compliance to
which they are to be commended.
I trust that you will find this information in order, but if further information is needed, please call
either myself at 252-430-5703 or HWRF Director, Tom Spain at 252-431-6081.

receives an average of 2.331 million gallons per day. The plant treated 850,780,000
gallons from July 1, 2013 to June 30, 2014.
The treatment process consists of rag and grit removal, intermediate clarification, pure oxygen
activated sludge, final clarification, filtration, post aeration and ultraviolet disinfection. The new
Trojan 5000 Plus UV System is finishing its first three years of operation. The results have
been excellent with nearly a total kill of all fecal coliform.
The City is in the process of completing an $18 million upgrade to the Henderson Water
Reclamation Facility to modernize it with a new headworks, oxidation ditch, sludge thickener,
Aerobic Digester SCADA control and video security.
The collection system consists of approximately one hundred eighty-two and 57/100
(182.57) miles of gravity sewer and force main lines, thirteen (13) pumping stations that
convey the wastewater to the treatment plant and four(4) stations for odor control.

received and responded to 77 service calls, cleared 203 blockages in the sewer lines, repaired 29
services and sewer line breaks, installed 8 new sewer line taps and replaced 4 taps; smoke tested
21,092 feet of gravity line and TV video inspected 17.236 feet of gravity line: cut
46,841 feet (8.8 7miles) of the right-of-ways and performed 100 % of their semiannual
inspection of priority lines and manholes within the system. They actually inspected many
of them on a weekly basis. The staff cleaned 297.068 feet (56.41 milesl of sewer line with the
Jet Vac and rodded 2.750feet (0.52 miles), This is 31.2 % of the entire system and exceeds
the State DWO requirement by 21.2 % of cleaning 10% of the system ger year. Root Foam
Control was applied to 9.200 feet of gravity sewer. Inflow/Infiltration repairs made: 55
cleanouts were repaired, 35 cleanouts were installed and 10 were located;12 manholes were
repaired, 6 manhole rings and 12 manhole lids were replaced due to theft; It is estimated that
