Mitch Hayes of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted the subject inspections January 03,
2007. The assistance and cooperation of James Warren, Grade IV ORC, Leigh Honeycutt,
Laboratory Supervisor, during the inspection was appreciated.
The subject NPDES permit was modified and became effective November 01, 2006 to lists
the Total Nitrogen allocation assigned to, acquired by, or transferred to the Permittee in
accordance with the Neuse River nutrient management rule (T15A NCAC 02B .0234). The
Town of Clayton is authorized to discharged 21,400 pounds per year and has in reserve for future
permitted flows beyond the present permitted 2.5 MGD flow, to discharge an additional 7,336
pounds per year.
The subject permit will expire March 31, 2008. Please ensure to apply for a permit renewal
by September 30, 2007 to avoid civil penalties.
Please find the attached Basin Wide Information Management System (BIMS) inspection
checklist summarizing the inspections.

At the time of inspection, one oxidation ditch was out of service for cleaning. The other ditch was 75% full
and some splashing outside the ditch was noted. The ditch being cleaned should be back in operation by
mid February 2007. Sludge was last hauled from the aerated digester in November 2007. Sludge will be
hauled later in January 2007. Influent in the oxidation ditch was tan to light brown in color. Foam was
present on approximately 10% of the surface. Effluent was clear flowing from the weirs of clarifiers. All weirs
appeared lever and had even flow. A moderate amount of scum was noted on clarifier # 1, lesser amount
on # 2, and lesser amount on # 3. Effluent appeared clear in the clear well downstream from the traveling
bridge filters. One bank of UV bulbs was in use at the time of inspection. Both banks are used during heavy
flows. The effluent discharge pipe at the Neuse River was submerged. The effluent discharging could not be
seen due to high river turbidity. No foam or odor was present at the discharge point.
Discharge Monitoring Reports for the period November 2005 through November 2006. The facility was
compliant with permit limit and monitoring requirements during the period. Commercial lab results, chain of
custody records, and bench sheets were compared with data submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Report
(DMR) for the month of October 2006. No discrepancies were noted.
The laboratory was checked in a cursory manner. All instrument calibration logs are being maintained. All
pH buffers were within expiration date. An operator’s logbook was available and being maintained. The
influent and effluent flow meters were calibrated February 07, 2006. Fecal coliform bath temperature was
44.5 degrees C, drying oven temperature was 104 degrees C, and the BOD incubator temperature was 19.5
degrees C.

The modifications to the oxidation ditches are nearly complete. When complete the modified oxidation
headworks will consist of one - 214,500-gallon anaerobic basin, and two - 300,000-gallon anoxic tanks. A
new 360,000-gallon aerated sludge holding tank is also near completion. An automatic odor control system
was added to the existing aerated digester in 2006. Also under construction are a new rotary drum sludge
thickener building and a new reuse water system. The reuse water will be used for irrigation at the Pine
Hollow Golf Coarse.

Inspection Summary:
There are 6 stormwater outfalls. Outfall 6 discharges to a small stream upstream of Outfall 5. The water appeared clear at
the discharge point of Outfall 6. Some sediment wash was noted at Outfall 5 however, the discharge water appeared
clear. The rock filter at Outfall #4 contained a moderate amount of sediment that needs to be removed. The discharge
water was turbid. There was no discharge from Outfalls 3 and 2. Water in the ditch downstream from Outfalls 3 and 2
appeared clear. There was no discharge from Outfall 1 that is located at the headworks. Any stormwater that drains to
Outfall 1 is routed back to the headworks. A fair amount of mud was noted around the plant site due to the construction.
Rock check dams and sediment traps should be cleaned of excess sediment to prevent sediment from flowing into the
creek.

Conduct four toxicity tests for an organism other than Ceriodaphnia and submit results with
your renewal application. The tests should be conducted quarterly, with samples collected on the
same day as your current toxicity test. Call the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at [phone] for
guidance in conducting the additional tests.
Your NPDES permit for a municipally owned/operated WWTP expires on March 31, 2008. This notice is
being sent to explain the requirements for your permit renewal application.
The U.S. EPA revised and expanded the application requirements for municipal permits, effective August 1,
2001. EPA form 2A is attached to this Notice, and must be used for your permit renewal application. The
new application requirements mandate additional effluent testing:
1. Conduct three Priority Pollutant Analyses (PPAs) and submit results with your renewal
application. Collect samples for the PPAs in conjunction with sampling for your current
quarterly toxicity test. The new PPA requirements differ from previous versions. Each PPA
must include:
Analyses for all total recoverable metals listed in Part D of form 2A. This includes metals
that are not normally monitored through your NPDES permit.
Analyses for total phenolic compounds and hardness.
Analyses for all of the volatile organic compounds listed in Part D.
Analyses for all of the acid-extractable compounds listed in Part D.
Analyses for all base-neutral compounds listed in Part D.
Analyses for Total Mercury must be performed using EPA Method 1631.

Use the checklist below to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you
must submit with the permit renewal application. If all wastewater discharge has ceased at this facility and
you wish to rescind this permit, please contact me. My telephone number, fax number and e-mail address
are listed at the bottom of the previous page.
PLEASE NOTE: If your permit already contains a requirement for an annual effluent pollutant
scan, additional scans are not required [provided you have conducted at least 3 scans prior to submitting
your application!.
If any wastewater discharge will occur after the current permit expires, this NPDES permit must be
renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate Federal and North Carolina law.
Unpermitted discharges of wastewater could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.
The pollutant and toxicity scans described above must accompany your permit renewal application,
or any major permit modification request. The Division cannot draft your permit without the additional
data. Any data submitted cannot be over 4 ¥2 years old, and must account for seasonal variation
(samples cannot be collected during the same season each year if collected over multiple years).

You are receiving this advance notice because your facility has a permitted flow at or above 1
MGD, or the facility receives industrial [pretreatment] wastewater. If either of these criteria no
longer applies, contact the NPDES Unit before submitting a renewal application.
Federal (40 CFR 122) and state (ISA NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require that permit renewal
applications be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit. Your renewal application is
due to the Division postmarked no later than October 3, 2007. Failure to apply for renewal by the
appropriate deadline may result in a civil penalty assessment or other enforcement activity at the discretion
of the Director.

SUBJECT: Advance Notice of Renewal Application Requirements
Permit NC0025453
Little Creek WWTP
Your NPDES permit for a municipally owned/operated WWTP expires on March 31, 2008. This notice is
being sent to explain the requirements for your permit renewal application.
Conduct four toxicity tests for an organism other than Ceriodaphnia and submit results with
your renewal application. The tests should be conducted quarterly, with samples collected on the
same day as your current toxicity test. Call the Aquatic Toxicology Unit at [phone] for
guidance in conducting the additional tests.
The U.S. EPA revised and expanded the application requirements for municipal permits, effective August 1,
2001. EPA form 2A is attached to this Notice, and must be used for your permit renewal application. The
new application requirements mandate additional effluent testing:
Conduct three Priority Pollutant Analyses (PPAs) and submit results with your renewal
application. Collect samples for the PPAs in conjunction with sampling for your current
quarterly toxicity test. The new PPA requirements differ from previous versions. Each PPA
must include:
Analyses for all total recoverable metals listed in Part D of form 2A. This includes metals
that are not normally monitored through your NPDES permit.
Analyses for total phenolic compounds and hardness.
Analyses for all of the volatile organic compounds listed in Part D.
Analyses for all of the acid-extractable compounds listed in Part D.
Analyses for all base-neutral compounds listed in Part D.
Analyses for Total Mercury must be performed using EPA Method 1631.

Use the checklist below to complete your renewal package. The checklist identifies the items you
must submit with the permit renewal application. If all wastewater discharge has ceased at this facility and
you wish to rescind this permit, please contact me. My telephone number, fax number and e-mail address
are listed at the bottom of the previous page.
The pollutant and toxicity scans described above must accompany your permit renewal application,
or any major permit modification request. The Division cannot draft your permit without the additional
data. Any data submitted cannot be over 4 1/2 years old, and must account for seasonal variation
(samples cannot be collected during the same season each year if collected over multiple years).
PLEASE NOTE: If your permit already contains a requirement for an annual effluent pollutant
scan, additional scans are not required [provided you have conducted at least 3 scans prior to submitting
your application].
If any wastewater discharge will occur after the current permit expires, this NPDES permit must be
renewed. Discharge of wastewater without a valid permit would violate Federal and North Carolina law.
Unpermitted discharges of wastewater could result in assessment of civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day.

The Division finds the transfer of allocation to be consistent with the Neuse River Basin
Nutrient Management Strategy for Wastewater Dischargers, T15A NCAC 02B .0234, and will
prepare draft permit modifications for public review.
Please note that the uncertainties surrounding UNIFI's decision to halt production later this
year may delay action on both permits until early 2008. In that case, although the nitrogen
transaction may be completed in the coming weeks, the change in the permits' nitrogen limits
would not become effective until January 1,2009 (that is, the next full calendar year).

Dear Mr. Simpson;
Cell D7 (Annual Average Flow From DMR's) is the actual average daily flow for the calendar year
shown in cell D8. Calendar year flow is used to comply with the “80/90” rule given in 15A NCAC 02T
.0118. We take this value from your Discharge Monitoring Reports.
Cell D10 (Date of Last Flow Reconciliation) is the last time an accounting was made regarding the
build-out status of the various projects. We’ll discuss this in more detail later.
Cell D6 (Permitted Flow) is the as-built capacity in MOD of the treatment facility, in your case, 3.0 MOD.
The as-built capacity is the actual hydraulic capacity of the facility.
If you refer to the attached file for your facility, the following will describe the purpose of the different
cells of the spreadsheet:
Rows 1 through 5 are information only. They tell us when the last update was made to the sheet, the
name and permit numbers for the facility, and contact information.

A tracking file is a Microsoft Excel© spreadsheet which lists all of the sewer extension permits issued by
DWQ which have their wastewater flows tributary to a given treatment facility. The Raleigh Regional
Office currently tracks the sewer extension permits and their associated permitted flows to 84 private
and public wastewater treatment facilities. As you know, we exchange these tracking files with the
facilities on a regular basis so that we all share the same information. Each time we issue a new
extension permit, we add the project description and permitted flow to the list.

In response to your recent inquiry, this letter should provide general information to you and other
interested parties regarding wastewater flow tracking. Herein we will also comment on the
reconciliation of a flow tracking file. The most recent file for the Little Creek WWTF is attached for your
use.
Cell D12 (Total Permitted Flow Not Tributary) is the sum of all the permitted flows that appear in column
F (Paper Flow). “Paper Flow” is just that - - it’s flow that is just on paper, NOT in your treatment facility.
When we issue an extension permit, all of the permitted flow is “paper” flow. Let’s say a permit was
issued for 10 homes at 360 gallons per day per home, or 3,600 gpd total. A year later, half of these
homes are now occupied. The paper flow amount is then reduced by half. NorthCarolina

Cell D15 (Tributary Flow Percentage) is the DMR flow in D7 divided by the as-built flow D6.
Each time we enter a new project, Excel recalculates all the numbers and percentages.
The tracking file has two “alarm” points, the percentages for paper flow and tributary flow. The tributary
flow percentage is based on the last year calendar flow, and is set to alarm at 80% or 90% to comply
with the "80/90” rule given in 15A NCAC 02T .0118. We take this value from your Discharge Monitoring
Reports.
When reconciliation occurs, you have to make sure an engineer's certification (EC) has been received.
It's a permit violation to introduce flow to a sewer system extension prior to DWQ’s receipt of the EC
(permit condition 6). Because we started keeping track of the EC date in our tracking files just a few
years ago, we've admittedly got some older permits which do not show an EC date.
Cell D14 (Paper Flow Percentage) is the plant permit flow D6, subtract the paper flow remaining D13,
and divide the result by the plant permit flow D6.
You normally reconcile the file when you think it's necessary. At any time you wish to reconcile the
flows, we will send you the Excel file. You then provide the build-out percentages for each project and
return the file to us. We will then adjust the flows accordingly.
Rows 17, 18 and 19 are the column headings for the list of permits.
Column A is the permit number.
Column B is the project name.
Column C is the permit approved (issued) date.
Column D is the flow stated in the permit.
Column E is the tributary flow. We’ll explain this in the flow reconciliation discussion.
Column F is the paper flow.
Column G is a math check to make sure that tributary flow and paper flow equal permitted flow.
Column H is for comments.
Column I is the Engineer Certification (EC) received date.
Reconciliation of flows moves flow from column F (paper flow) to column E (tributary flow). This
reduces the paper flow percentage which is calculated using the sum of the values in column F. Here's
how it works: First, you determine the build-out percentage of the projects, usually by determining how
many CO's have been issued for a project. As soon as a CO is issued, we assume that the home is
now occupied, and that flow now goes to the WWTP. In other words, that part of the flow is no longer
on paper, it's tributary to the WWTP. Let's say that 25% of all the homes are now tributary for a given
project - - that means that 25% of the permitted flow is now actually going to the WWTP, with the other
75% flow still on paper.
The paper flow percentage alarm goes off at 100%. This value is met when DWQ has issued permits
for flows that, when combined with the tributary flow, equal 100% of the plant’s treatment capacity. In
rapidly growing areas, the paper flow percentage alarm value is reached long before the tributary alarm
percentage. Once the 100% paper alarm goes off (or sooner, if necessary) the sewer extension
permitting process becomes a little more complicated, but doesn’t necessarily grind to a stop.
Cell D13 (Remaining Paper Flow Capacity) is calculated by taking your facility hydraulic capacity (D6),
subtract from that the actual tributary flow (D7), and then subtract from that the total of all “paper” flows.
This cell represents the flow amount available for permitting, provided there are no other events of
concern, such as an authorization to construct.

Paragraph (b) goes on to state:
The attached spreadsheet shows the Little Creek WWTF with a permitted flow not tributary (Cell D12)
of 843,458 gallons per day as of the last permit issued on October 8 this year. The last reconciliation
was performed in April of 2002. A tracking file reconciliation could result in a significant amount of
permitting capacity.

We trust the above is satisfactory and meets your requirements. Please feel free to contact me via
telephone [phone]) or e-mail ([e-mail]) should you have any questions.
Provided plans for future expansion or other means of flow treatment have been made and satisfy the
requirements of the statute, we then look at timing - - when will the future expansion take place in
comparison to when are the additional flows expected to come on line. If the treatment facility
expansion will occur prior to the projected 100% tributary flow at the plant, permits will continue to be
issued. Each permit issued above the 100% paper threshold must be issued based on commitments
from you and the waste generator (developer) pertaining to plant expansion completion schedules and
project build-out schedules.
The 100% paper flow alarm begs the question of “can you adequately treat the flow.” At the same time
it gives the opportunity to surpass the 100% paper barrier provided “...the unit of government has
secured a grant or has otherwise secured financing for planning, design, or construction of a new or
improved waste disposal system which will adequately treat the additional waste...”
"No person subject to the provisions of G.S. 143-215.1, 143-215.108, or 143-215.109 shall willfully
cause or allow the discharge of any wastes...in excess of the capacity of the disposal system...or any
wastes...which the disposal system...cannot adequately treat.”
North Carolina General Statute 143-215.67 (Acceptance of wastes to disposal systems and air-cleaning
devices) in paragraph (a) states in part:
“The Commission may authorize a unit of government subject to the provisions of subsection (a) of this
section to accept additional wastes to its waste-disposal system upon a finding by the Commission (i)
that the unit of government has secured a grant or has otherwise secured financing for planning,
design, or construction of a new or improved waste disposal system which will adequately treat the
additional waste, and (ii) the additional waste will not result in any significant degradation in the quality
of the waters ultimately receiving the discharge. The Commission may impose such conditions on
permits issued under G.S. 143-215.1 as it deems necessary to implement the provisions of this
subsection, including conditions on the size, character, and number of additional dischargers. Nothing
in this subsection shall be deemed to authorize a unit of government to violate water quality standards,
effluent limitations or the terms of any order or permit issued under Part 1 of this Article nor does
anything herein preclude the Commission from enforcing by appropriate means the provisions of Part 1
of this Article.”

Hello Sharon. I'm forwarding you an email reply to my Nov 13 letter to the town of Clayton re the anonymous
complaint received by the State Auditor's Office. In the absence of tangible documentation to the contrary, I
believe the attached responses from the town and their consultant, along with the inspector's daily logs, prove
the allegations to be unsubstantiated. If additional information is required, please let me know. Thanks.

Dear Mr. Blowe,

As you are aware, The Wooten Company (TWC) has served as the engineering design and project
administration consultant on this project. As such they have prepared detailed, point-by-point responses to the
procedural and technical issues raised in the allegation. Their statements are attached herewith for your use and
review. In addition I feel it is necessary for the Town to offer a plain and clearly stated response to several of
the allegations.
The complaint states that the original project schedule was eleven months. This statement is not accurate. The
original project schedule was 450 days and was extended additional days for lost weather days, per the contract,
and accommodation of executed change orders. The extended schedule was exceeded through the fault of the
contractor, as documented during construction progress meetings and numerous letters of correspondence from
The Wooten Company to The TARA Group. Failure to meet the schedule has subjected the contractor to
substantial liquidated damages at the rate of $500 per day for each day in excess of the schedule.
Furthermore, the complaint alleges the Town has been accepting of “shoddy workmanship.” Again, this
statement is without merit as refuted by the fact that all construction was subject to daily, on-site professional
inspection by a qualified consultant under contract to the Town. Construction activities were subject to over
four hundred inspection reports, compiled on a daily basis, plus nearly 2,000 photos which document the status
and quality of work in progress. The complainant illustrates a single circumstance as the basis for this
allegation. As you will note, the attached information prepared by TWC definitively proves that the work, as
described, was incomplete at the time it was witnessed, that it was the subject of a detailed design specification.

On November 13, 2007 the Town of Clayton received a transmittal from your office indicating that an
individual has made anonymous and unsubstantiated allegations of project mismanagement and poor
construction quality at the above noted project. The allegations were made in two parts, the first part was a
letter sent to the Raleigh Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality and dated February 6, 2007. The
second part was a note prepared by a staff person at the State Auditor’s Office based on an anonymous phone
call. The second contact did not include a date, but we interpret it to have taken place some time in November
2007.
If you require additional information, please let me know.
C:
In closing, although the noted project offered some unique challenges and frustrations with regards to untimely
performance by the contractor, we feel that the final product is of quality construction and, with satisfactory
attention to punch list and warranty items, performance of the Plant will meet or exceed design specifications.
Mr. James R. Blowe

and that the daily inspection notes prove that the final product was constructed consistent with the design
specification and with acceptable workmanship.
Finally, the complaint alleges the Town conducted or allowed “improper sludge disposal (mixing with sand and
selling as top soil)” in relation to execution of the project. This statement is absurd and entirely without merit in
that the Town of Clayton handles all sludge in accordance with strict rules of accountability which involve
proper storage, transport, and documented disposal by approved method. At no time has the Town of Clayton
disposed of sludge by mixing and selling as a product, nor have we allowed any sludge to be so handled by a
third party.

THE

Although structural reinforcement, construction joints, shrinkage strips, etc are
designed to minimize cracking in concrete water retaining structures, cracks may
still occur in the structure. Typically such cracks do not compromise the integrity
of the structure unless visible leakage is present. We are not aware of any
significant cracking in the sludge holding/stabilization basin; however, we will
monitor the structure and pursue structural repairs if warranted.
On behalf of the Town of Clayton, we are writing to respond to allegations made
regarding improper construction methods at the Clayton Little Creek Water Reclamation
Facility. We are in receipt of a complaint placed by an anonymous caller to the Office of
State Auditor’s hotline received by The Wooten Company on November 13, 2007. The
complaint alleges continued mismanagement of the construction process resulting in
“shoddy workmanship, poor project mismanagement, improper waste disposal and
improper procurement practices”. We will provide a response to each of the allegations
listed to the best of our ability as follows:
The project construction period was scheduled for 450 calendar days (i.e. 15
months) and scheduled for completion by November 8, 2006. Although the
contract time has been extended for some change order work and abnormal weather
days, the project schedule has experienced delays and substantial completion was
not achieved until late October 2007. Punch list items for outstanding work are
being completed and any deficient work identified will be corrected.
The Town of Clayton publicly advertised and bid the project per the formal bidding
requirements set forth in the NC General Statutes. The design firm for the project
was The Wooten Company of Raleigh, NC. The construction contract was awarded
to The TARA Group of Lumberton, NC who was properly licensed per the General
Statutes. Prior to the award of contract the Town of Clayton requested the TARA
Group submit prior experience documentation along with their latest financial
statements. The TARA Group identified work at the Harnett County Water
Treatment Plant and Bladenboro Wastewater Treatment Plant as prior water and
wastewater treatment plant experience. In addition to the Clayton project, the
TARA Group has since been awarded the contract for construction of
improvements to the Benson WWTP which is currently being funded through
CG&L.

To the best of our knowledge, this project has been constructed in accordance with the project plans and
specifications. We are not aware of any deliberate shortcuts taken by The TARA Group on this project.
Throughout the construction period we have compiled over 436 daily observation reports, conducted over 21
monthly progress meetings, and have nearly 2,000 photos of the construction work in progress. This extensive
documentation along with other project correspondence collected throughout the construction period is
available for review by CG&L if requested.
We trust that the information given above adequately responds to the issues raised by the anonymous caller. If
you have any questions or require any additional information, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
Stone base is provided under the slabs for all new structures. We are not aware of any stone base
required for the Clayton project being “diverted to another TARA Group project”.
We interpret “code violations in oxidation and sludge process” to relate to the new aluminum guardrail
provided at the anaerobic/anoxic/aerobic basins. There are some sections of the new guardrail that were
provided incorrectly by the miscellaneous metals supplier thereby preventing the rail from being fully
installed. Efforts have been made to temporarily protect those areas missing guardrail and we
understand that the Contractor is actively pursuing corrective measures with the supplier. This item has
been properly identified on the punch list prepared for the Contractor.
We are not aware of an electric motor drive to “blow up” once installed. There have been some
miscellaneous equipment issues (i.e. blower vibration, aerator gear box, aerator control panel a/c unit)
that have occurred; however, these issues either have been or are in the process of being corrected
through the warranty process.
To the best of our knowledge, there has been no improper sludge disposal related to this project. The
contract required removal and disposal of the residual inert solids remaining in the existing aeration
basins following draining for construction of the new work. Activated sludge solids were removed from
the basins through the draining process and only the inert material remained for removal and disposal.
Since the removal quantities were listed as a unit price in the contract. The Wooten Company’s
construction observer recorded and confirmed the total quantity of solids removed and disposed of by
the contractor.
