reporting and notification requirements provided in North Carolina General Statues 143-215.1C."
143-21 S.1 C (a) Report to Wastewater System Customers. - The owner or operator of any
wastewater collection or treatment works, the operation of which is primarily to collect or treat
municipal or domestic wastewater and for which a permit is issued tender this Part and having an
average annual flow greater than 200,000 gallons per day, shall provide to the users or customers
of the collection system or treatment works and to the Department an annual report that
summarizes the performance of the collection system or treatment works and the extent to which
the collection system or treatment works has violated the permit or federal or State laws,
regulations, or rules related to the protection of water quality. The report shall be prepared on
either a calendar or fiscal year basis and shall be provided no later than 60 days after the end of
the calendar or fiscal year.
Please submit a CY 2023 annual wastewater performance report to DWR by way of
this office.
5. The collection system has an approximate annual operating budget of$5,378,940 and a
Capital Improvement Plan(CIP)of$19,428,000. The 5-year CIP was reviewed and covers
fiscal year 2022 to 2027. The CIP is adopted annually by the City Council. The CIP
includes appropriations through 2027 for sewer rehabilitation, force main and lift station
rehabilitation, pump and electrical panel replacements, and collection system service
equipment.
6. Sanitary sewer overflow (SSO) cleanup, pumping, and reporting procedures, which
includes a response action plan was available to review. Pump Station spill response plans
were noted on-site at each of the pump stations visited during the inspection. Between
January 2021 and April 15, 2024 there have been 26 reportable SSOs. A March 8, 2024,
SSO news release was reviewed and in compliance with permit reporting requirements.
The SSO cleanup, pumping, and reporting procedures meet permit requirements. It was
discussed that any spill cleanup that requires stream flushing, should be performed using
dechlorinated potable water. Records for reportable SSOs are kept for more than three
years. A logbook or records were not available at the time of the inspection to review
non-reportable sewer spills. Maintain a record of all SSOs (reportable and non-
reportable). Part III (2.) of your permit requires "The Permittee shall maintain
adequate records pertaining to SSOs,and SSO or wastewater collection system complaints
for a minimum of three years. These records shall include, but are not limited to, the
following information [I5A NCAC 02T.0108(b)]:
• Date of SSO or complaint;
• Volume of the wastewater released as a result of the SSO and/or nature of
complaint;

7. An up-to-date GIS based collection system map was reviewed and included manhole
location, pipe size, pipe construction material, pipe location, flow direction, approximate
age and lift station name, location, and capacity. Force main air release valves were not
noted on the system map but were included with the collection system SCADA system.
Include air release valves, identify their location and size/type on the GIS based
collection system map.
8. According to cleaning records provided, approximately 19.6 miles of gravity sewer lines
of the system's 412 miles, or 5.0 percent was cleaned in fiscal year (FY) 2023 and 33.9
miles or 8.2 percent cleaned in FY2022. The ORC identified cleaning equipment repairs
as a significant contributor to reduced system cleaning. Records presented indicate that
the city is not compliant with operation and maintenance cleaning requirements. Part
11 (7.) of your permit requires "The Permittee shall access cleaning needs, and develop
and implement a program for appropriately cleaning, whether by hydraulic or mechanical
methods, the wastewater collection system. At least 10 percent of the gravity wastewater
system, selected at the discretion of the ORC, shall be cleaned each year. Preventative
cleaning is not required for sewer lines less than five years old unless inspection otherwise
reveals the need for cleaning or cleaning is required by a sewer line extension permit. [l 5A
NCAC 02T.0108(b)]"
9. According to FY23 maintenance records, 14,692 linear feet were inspected using close
circuit television, 10 pump station wet well cleanings,and no smoke testing was performed.
Findings from inspections are used to prioritize rehabilitation and repairs.
10. Four pump stations were visited and inspected:
a) Sharpsburg Lift Station
• (2) Gorman-Rupp Pumps
• 450 gallon per minute (GPM)— lift station capacity
• The lift station pumps were secure with a locked building.
