Subject: Issuance of NPDES Permit Renewal
Permit No. NCO025071
City of Eden Mebane Bridge WWTP
Rockingham County
Facility Class 1V
Division personnel have reviewed and approved your application for renewal of the subject permit.
Accordingly, we are forwarding the attached NPDES discharge 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).
The following change was made to the draft permit sent to you on October 8,2014:
The mercury monitoring requirement added to Section A.(1.) was changed to an annual grab sample
instead of a quarterly composite. The footnote requiring that mercury be tested using EPA Method 1631E
was maintained. With the next permit renewal, mercury results will be evaluated and the need for a
mercury Iimitation or a Mercury Minimization Plan will be assessed.
As identified previously, the renewal permit contains the following significant changes from
your current permit:
• The requirement to begin reporting discharge monitoring data electronically using the NC DWR's
Electronic Discharge Monitoring Report (eDMR) internet application has been added to your NPDES
permit. [See Special Condition A.(4.)]
For information on eDMR, registering for eDMR and obtaining an eDMR user account, please visit
the following web page: http://portal.ncdenr.org/web/wq/admin/b�/ipu/edmr.
For information on EPA's proposed NPDES Electronic Reporting Rule, please visit the following
web site: http://www2.epa.gov/compliance/proposed-npdes-electronic-reporting-rule.
• Effluent sampling data for Total Copper did not show reasonable potential to violate NC Water
Quality Standards (WQSs). However, since the maximum predicted value was greater than half the
calculated permit limitation, quarterly monitoring will be maintained in the permit.
• Effluent sampling data for Total Zinc did not show reasonable potential to violate NC WQSs. Since
the maximum predicted value was less than half the calculated permit limitation, zinc monitoring was
removed from the permit. Monitoring requirements for pretreatment are not affected.

• Based on a review of effluent color sampling and the closure of two textile industries, the color
effluent limitation and monitoring requirements have been removed from the permit.
• Upstream and downstream monitoring of fecal coliform and pH have been removed from the permit.
The stream is not impaired for fecal coliform or pH and instream data shows no impact from the
WWTP.
• Some of the wording has changed in Special Condition A. (2), Chronic Toxicity Permit Limit, please
review each paragraph carefully.
• Special Condition A.(3.) has been modified to include the specific three years in which the Effluent
Pollutant Scans shall be performed (2015, 2016, and 2017). In addition, at the end of the Special
Condition, 2nd species Toxicity Testing Requirements for municipal permit renewals per Federal
Regulations [40 CFR 122.210)(5)] have been added.
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 150B of the North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of
Administrative Hearings (6711 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 permits that may be required.
If you have any questions concerning this permit, please contact Julie Grzyb by email

DOCKET NO. CWA-04-2012-4758
ADMINISTRATIVE ORDER
I. STATUTORY AUTHORITY
1. Section 309(a) of the Clean Water Act (CWA), 33 U.S.C. § 1319(a), provides that,
whenever the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, Region 4 finds that any person is in violation of
any condition or limitation which implements, inter alga, Section 301(a) and 402 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C.
§§ 1311(a) and 1342, the EPA may issue an order requiring such person to comply with such condition
or limitation, and shall specify a time for compliance that EPA determines to be reasonable.
2. The following Findings are made and Order issued pursuant to the authority vested in the
EPA by Section 309(a) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1319(a), as amended. This authority has been
delegated to the Regional Administrator of the EPA, Region 4, and further delegated by the Regional
Administrator to the Director of the Water Protection Division, EPA, Region 4.
II. FINDINGS
3. To accomplish the objective of the CWA, as defined in Section 101(a) of the CWA, 33
U.S.C. § 1251(a), to restore and maintain the chemical, physical and biological integrity of the nation's
waters, Section 301(a) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 131 ] (a), prohibits the point source discharge of
pollutants by any person into navigable waters of the United States except as in compliance with a
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit issued pursuant to Section 402 of the
CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1342.
4. Section 402 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1342, establishes the NPDES pen -nit program
authorizing the EPA or authorized states to administer the NPDES permit program, including the
issuance of NPDES permits allowing for the discharge of pollutants into navigable waters subject to
specific terms and conditions. The EPA has granted the State of North Carolina, through the
Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), authorization to issue NPDES permits
pursuant to Section 402(b) of the CWA.
5. The City of Eden (the City) is a "municipality" existing under the laws of the State of
North Carolina and, therefore, is a "person" within the meaning of Section 502(4) and (5) of the CWA,
33 U.S.C. § 1362(4) and (5).
6. At all times relevant to this action, the City owns and operates a Publically Owned
Treatment Works (POTW), including an associated Wastewater Collection and Transmission Systems
(WCTS), and the Eden -Mebane Bridge Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) located at 191 Mebane
Bridge Road, Eden, North Carolina and operating under NPDES permit Number NCO025071. This
POTW discharges "pollutants" as a "point source" into the Dan River, a navigable water, as defined in
Section 502(7) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1362(7).
7. NCDENR issued NPDES Permit No. NCO025071 (the Permit), to the City for the
Mebane Bridge WWTP with the effective date of April 20, 2010 and the expiration date of
April 30, 2012 respectively.
8. The Permit includes a requirement, Part I.2., to properly operate and maintain the POTW,
including the WCTS which collects and/or transmits wastewater to the Mebane Bridge WWTP. The
WWTP and its associated WCTS make up the POTW.
9. On November 26, 2008, the EPA sent an information request letter to the City pursuant to
Section 308(a) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1318(a). This information request letter required the City to
respond and give the EPA information regarding details on all Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs), as
defined in Attachment A, that have occurred from the City's WCTS over the past five (5) years
including the volume and cause of each SSO. Additional SSO data beyond the scope of the information
request was received from NCDENR.
10. The response to the information request submitted to the EPA by the City indicates that
the City experienced over 150 total SSOs between June 2006 and June 2011. Over fifty percent (50%) of
the City's SSOs were caused by Inflow and Infiltration (1/ I) and the City identified the pump station as
the probable corrective action due to the flow exceeding the pumping capacity. See Attachment B for a
list of these SSOs.
11. The City submitted the NCDENR Division of Water Quality Collection System Sanitary
Sewer Overflow Reporting Form and an SSO reporting protocol as documentation of procedures in place
to record SSOs. The protocol used does not address SSOs that back up into buildings.
12. On March 1, 2007, NCDENR issued the City a Special Order by Consent for frequent and
repetitive SSO's occurring at Meadow Greens, Covenant Branch, and Long Street pump stations in
violation of Part I.2. of the Permit. The City has taken corrective action to address I/I but continues to
experience I/I in the same portions of the WCTS where corrective action has been completed under the
NCDENR Order. On October 6, 2009, NCDENR concluded that the City met the terms and corrective
actions of the Order and, therefore, terminated the Order.
13. On August 4, 2011, the EPA held a show cause meeting with representatives from the City
and NCDENR to discuss the City's SSOs over the past five (5) years.
14. Based on the above, the City has violated Section 301(a) of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. §
1311(a), in that the City has discharged untreated wastewater containing pollutants to the navigable
waters at locations not authorized by an NPDES permit.
15. Based on the above, the City has violated Part I.2. of the Permit, issued pursuant to Section
402 of the CWA, 33 U.S.C. §1342, by failing to properly manage, operate and maintain its WCTS resulting
in SSOs from the WCTS.
III. ORDER
16. Based on the foregoing FINDINGS and pursuant to the authority of Section 309(a) of the
CWA, 33 U.S.C. § 1319(a), IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the City comply with the following
requirements:
17. Management, Operation and Maintenance (MOM) Programs
The City shall develop the MOM Programs in accordance with the provisions of Sub -paragraphs 17.A
through 17.1) below. The goal of the MOM Programs shall be to eliminate all SSOs. For purposes of
this Order, a SSO is defined as an overflow, spill, release, or diversion of wastewater from the City's
WCTS. SSOs include overflows or releases of wastewater that reach navigable waters; overflows or
releases of wastewater that do not reach navigable waters; and wastewater backups into buildings that
are caused by blockages or flow conditions in a sanitary sewer other than a building lateral. Wastewater
backups into buildings caused by a blockage or other malfunction of a building lateral that is privately
owned is not a SSO. All MOM Programs shall be developed in accordance with the EPA Region 4
guidance as set forth in the attached CDROM disk. Terms used in this Order that are defined in the
CWA or in regulations promulgated pursuant to the CWA shall have the meanings assigned to them in
the CWA, 33 U.S.C. §§ 1251 et seq., and regulations promulgated under the CWA, unless otherwise
provided in Attachment A to this Order.
A. Svstem Evaluation and Rehabilitation Plans (SERP): The City shall develop a
System Evaluation and Rehabilitation Plan (SERP) to evaluate and rehabilitate a portion of the City's
WCTS, specifically Bridge Street, Meadow Greens and Covenant Branch basins and herein defined as
the "Critical Basins" and to identify deficiencies within the these Critical Basins that contribute to
SSOs and excessive I/I, as defined in Paragraph 10 above. The SERF shall include a plan of action to
correct those deficiencies. The SERF will consist of a Capacity Assessment Plan, a Sewer System
Evaluation Survey (SSSS) and a Collection System Remediation Plan. In developing the SERP, the
City shall refer to published guidance documents, including but not limited to, Sewer System
Infrastructure Analysis and Rehabilitation handbook, EPA/625/6-911030, October 1991; Computer
Tools for Sanitary Sewer System Capacity Analysis and Planning, EPA/600/R-07/111, October 2007;

shall submit a Capacity Assessment Plan for the EPA's review, comment and approval
that will describe how the City will undertake a Capacity Assessment that shall include
an engineering study to comprehensively evaluate the design hydraulic capacity and
actual dry weather and wet weather flow conditions of the Critical Basins. The Capacity
Assessment Plan shall provide details on the methodology to be used (e.g.,
Manning/Chezy) and whether that methodology will be carried out using manual
computations or computerized modeling. If computerized modeling is to be used for
some or all of these analyses, a description of the software package(s) to be used shall be
included in the Capacity Assessment Plan. In either case, both the overall approach
proposed and the specific analyses to be applied to the Critical Basins shall be described
in detail.
b. The Capacity Assessment Plan shall propose rainfall monitoring and
in -stream flow metering to measure actual flow in the Critical Basins. The flow and
rainfall monitoring network shall be designed, installed, operated and maintained to
provide representative data of sufficient quality for use in the development of the
Capacity Assessment Plan. Monitoring site selection, equipment selection and
installation, calibration, maintenance, and data quality assurance checks shall all be
carried out to optimize monitoring accuracy, and shall conform to the equipment
manufacturers' recommendations and current, sound engineering practices. The flow
monitoring and rainfall data shall be used to prioritize additional flow monitoring and
physical investigation activities.
c. The Capacity Assessment Plan shall include plans to evaluate pump
station capacity as part of the system hydraulic analysis and identify any pump station
deficiencies that cause or contribute to SSOs. Pump stations that shall be evaluated
include: Dan River, Covenant Branch, Meadow Greens, Railroad, Industrial, Kuder
Street, Bridge Street, Bear Slide and Junction.
d. The Capacity Assessment Plan shall include plans to evaluate worst-
case (high flow/high groundwater) conditions, and all expected upstream and
downstream influences, including hydraulic capacity and III, on each reach of a sewer
affecting Critical Basins. For the purpose of this Order, Critical Basins, mini-basin(s) and
basin(s) are defined in Attachment A.
e. Within 30 days of submitting the CAP, the City shall provide the EPA
with information that substantiates its selection of the basins it considers critical. The
information can include flow studies, rainfall data analysis, models and other information
need to demonstrate that the completed and scheduled remediation efforts in the WCTS
and Critical Basins respectively are designed to eliminate the SSOs experienced in the
WCTS.
(ii). Capacity Assessment Report
a. Within fifteen (15) months after approval of the Capacity
Assessment Plan, the City shall complete the Capacity Assessment and submit a
Capacity Assessment Report.
b. The Capacity Assessment Report shall provide summary information
on how the various collection system components were modeled and describe all
simplifying assumptions that were used in the modeling effort. The hydraulic analysis
results shall include a diagram of the hydraulic grade lines and surcharge conditions for
each Critical Basin, an explanation of limiting factors (i.e., why the pipe surcharges at a
given flow), and an analysis of pump station capacity affecting each segment analyzed.
c. The Capacity Assessment Report shall include a map or maps of
usable scale of the WCTS, including the tributary pipes, that clearly displays the location
of all known SSOs reported in the past five (5) years. The map(s) shall clearly identify
— — - -- - -- 4–--
each basin and mini -basins defined by the City and identify Critical Basins and
associated mini -basins. The map(s) may be divided into subsections and multiple pages
for clarity.
d. The Capacity Assessment Report shall include an estimated number
of sewage customers (per capita) for each Critical Basin and mini -basin. Estimations
shall be made using all applicable categories of the "Discharge Facilities" and "Design
Units" categories of the North Carolina Administrative Code Title 15A NCAC 2T.01 14.
The number of design units per discharge facility must be justifiable and based on sound
engineering judgment. The Capacity Assessment Report shall also provide the volume of
sewage transmitted and treated from all Significant Industrial Users.
e. The Capacity Assessment Report shall provide results of the
hydraulic and excessive III analyses of all Critical Basins and associated mini -basins in
the WCTS, including per capita usage calculations for each critical mini -basin.
f. The Capacity Assessment Report shall include a collection and
transmission system model to assist in the development and implementation of operation
and maintenance procedures to optimize transmission capacity within the WCTS and to
evaluate the impact of III rehabilitation projects, proposed modifications, upgrades, and
expansions on the transmission capacity.
g. The Capacity Assessment Report shall include a calculation of the
amount of increased flow that will be transmitted to the WWTP as a result of eliminating
SSOs in the WCTS, and assess the impact of increased flow to the WWTP.
(iii). Sewer System Evaluation Survey
a. Within six (6) months of the effective date of this Order, the City
shall submit a Sewer System Evaluation Survey Work Plan for the EPA's review,
comment and approval. This Sewer System Evaluation Survey Work Plan will describe
how the City will undertake a Sewer System Evaluation Survey (SSSS) that will result in
the systematic examination of those Critical Basins and associated mini -basins to
determine specific locations, estimated flow rates, methods of rehabilitation, and cost of
rehabilitation versus the cost of transportation and treatment for each defined source of
excessive I/L The SSES Work Plan shall include plans to identify and quantify SSOs;
identify and quantify sources of excessive I/I rates within the Critical Basins; identify
sections of the Critical Basin with excessive I/I rates that cause and/or contribute to
SSOs; identify cross connections and unauthorized connections; and identification of
physical degradation of the WCTS, including general pipe condition and condition of
force mains, that causes or contributes to SSOs. Upon the EPA -approval of the SSES
Work Plan, the City shall implement the Work Plan in accordance with the schedules
therein.
b. The SSES Work Plan may propose to incorporate appropriate and
accurate existing attribute data, and as necessary, the collection and use of additional
physical attribute data; verified existing rainfall and flow data, and as necessary, the
collection and use of additional flow and rainfall data; monitoring of WWTP flows and
flows at key locations within the WCTS; monitoring of groundwater and rainfall at
5
appropriate locations throughout the WCTS; physical investigation of the causes of
excessive III and SSOs; and documentation of the condition of the portions of the WCTS
causing or contributing to SSOs. The SSES Work Plan shall include the planned
locations, types and rationale for placement of rain gauges, flow monitors, and any other
equipment, and a discussion of how Doppler radar will be employed (if appropriate). The
SSES Work Plan may also propose to utilize existing monitoring and characterization
data only to the extent that the data are of adequate quality and for locations appropriate
for the purposes of the SSES. The SSES Work Plan shall identify all existing data to be
utilized; identify all additional data to be collected; and describe in detail how the
existing and proposed additional data will satisfy the objectives of the SSES.
c. The SSES shall include, and the SSES Work Plan shall also establish
plans to include, the following:
1) A review of existing data to be used for SSOs, sewage flows,
WWTP and WCTS attributes (e.g., pipe diameters, pipe segment lengths, diversion
structure characteristics, catchment characteristics, invert elevations, pipe interior
roughness coefficients, etc.), rainfall, and groundwater levels; and an evaluation of the
accuracy, completeness and adequacy of such existing data for purposes of supporting the
characterization of the WCTS and sources of extraneous wet weather flow. The data
review shall further identify all additional data needed to allow the SSES to satisfy the
objectives stated herein.
2) Dry weather monitoring so as to allow the characterization of
base flows and excessive III rates. Wet weather monitoring following events of sufficient
duration and intensity to cause significant excessive I/I in the system, to allow the
prioritization of mini -basin, and to support the development of the Capacity Assessment.
3) A network of rain gauge stations placed in accordance with
industry standards and sound engineering practice.
4) Flow data collected using permanent and/or temporary flow
monitors placed at locations in the WCTS necessary to allow the characterization of flow
from each Critical Basin. The City shall inspect, maintain, and calibrate (if necessary) all
flow monitors at least once per week.
d. The SSES Work Plan shall contain requirements to perform
investigative activities in the locations determined to have excessive I/I, any Critical
Basin and mini -basins, and any portions of the WCTS that cause or contribute to SSOs.
The investigative activities shall be designed to locate and allow estimation of the wet
weather flows associated with individual sources of excessive UI, or shall identify
physical degradation of the WCTS that causes or contributes to SSOs. The investigative
activities shall include, but not be limited to, additional flow monitoring to isolate sources
of excessive I/I; smoke testing; visual inspections of pipes and manholes; dye testing;
night flow isolation; CCTV inspection to identify sewers in need of repair, rehabilitation,
or replacement; and building inspections. The further investigative activities shall be
sufficient to allow detailed characterizations of all significant sewer defects in Critical
Basins and mini -basins with excessive 1/1 and SSOs and to support the development of
capital improvement schedules.
e. The SSES Work Plan shall include expeditious schedules for
performing and completing the SSES, including timelines for installation of sewer flow
and rainfall monitoring equipment; completion of all monitoring activities, and for
submitting the SSES Results. The SSES shall be completed no later than twelve (12)
months after the EPA -approval of the SSES Work Plan. The SSES Results shall be
submitted within two (2) months after completion of the Survey.
(iv). WCTS Remediation Plan
a. Within two (2) months after submission of the Capacity
Assessment Report, the City shall develop and submit for the EPA review,
comment and approval, a WCTS Remediation Plan with specific measures and
schedules that, when implemented, will result in the elimination of all SSOs under
current and future conditions.
b. The WCTS Remediation Plan shall identify all measures necessary to
achieve adequate capacity. Adequate capacity is that capacity needed to collect, transmit
and treat anticipated peak wet weather flows, without causing SSOs. At a minimum,
peak wet weather flows shall include the conditions considered as part of the Capacity
Assessment. If insufficient capacity to accommodate projected peak wet weather flows
exists in any portion of the system, the City shall identify and propose measures to
provide adequate capacity to eliminate SSOs.
c. The WCTS Remediation Plan shall identify all measures necessary to
eliminate all SSOs caused by physical degradation of sewers, inadequate system capacity,
including pump station capacities, or poor pump station reliability.
d. The WCTS Remediation Plan shall identify the degree to which
sources of excessive III shall be removed, and the degree to which excessive I/I removal
is expected to alleviate capacity constraints, and propose specific remedial measures that
will address those capacity limitations not expected to be addressed by excessive I/I
removal. Anticipated excessive III removal rates used in the development of the WCTS
Remediation Plan shall reflect current industry practice and local experience. Specific
remedial measures to address capacity limitations may also include increases in pump
.station and sewer capacity in the WCTS, construction of storage or equalization basin
facilities, or increases in wastewater treatment capacity.
e. The WCTS Remediation Plan shall prioritize the remedial measures
based upon: (1) relative likely human health and environmental impact risks; (2) SSO
frequencies of overflows; and (3) total annual SSO volumes. The WCTS Remediation
Plan shall provide a description of the methodology used in the prioritization.
f. The WCTS Remediation Plan shall provide basic project descriptions,
estimated capital costs and a schedule for design, construction, and placement in service
of all proposed measures that is as expeditious as possible, but in no event later than two
(2) years after submission of the WCTS Remediation Plan (the Remediation Date). In
addition, the WCTS Remediation Plan shall identify estimated begin/complete design,
permitting, award contract, begin/complete construction dates for each measure proposed.
In the event that major sewer interceptor replacement (or other major capital
7
improvement) is identified as a result of the Capacity Assessment and/or SSSS, the City
may request, in writing and with supporting documentation, for an extension beyond the
Remediation Date. Approval of any extension beyond the Remediation Date shall be at
the EPA's discretion and in writing.
B. Pump Station Operations Program: Within 90 days of the Effective Date of this
Administrative Order, the City shall develop and submit for the EPA's review, comment and approval a
Pump Station Operations Program (PSOP). The PSOP shall include a schedule providing for full
implementation within three (3) months of the EPA program approval.
(i). Scheduled Pump Station Operations Program
The City shall have in place a scheduled pump station operations program that will address pump
station operations at all pump stations that are conducted on a routine, scheduled basis. The
program will define the standard pump station operating procedures to be followed at each pump
station such as reading and recording information from the elapsed time meters, recording
information from the pump start counters, observing wet well conditions and grease
accumulation, checking and re -setting, as necessary to improve system performance, wet well set
points, checking and recording system pressure, checking Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA) components, checking alarms and stand-by power and identifying
maintenance needs. The program will establish program elements such as schedules, routes,
priorities, standard forms and reporting procedures and performance measures.
(ii). Emergency Pu= Station Operating Program
The City shall have in place an emergency pump station operations program that will address
pump station operations at all pump stations that are to be conducted as a result of equipment

linked as identified on Attachment C attached hereto and incorporated herein.
Bypass: Means the intentional diversion of waste streams from any portion of a treatment facility (see
40 CFR 122.41(m)(1)(i)).
Capacity Related Overflow: Means an overflow that occurs when a system is not able to convey all the
wastewater to the treatment plant because of insufficient grade, pipe size, wet well size, pump capacity
or force main size or because of a design flaw and the overflow cannot be corrected through proper
operation and maintenance.
Chronic Overflows: Means repeated overflows at the same location in the system, repeated overflows
from the system for the same root cause, or both.
Combined Sewer: A sewer that is designed as a sanitary sewer and a storm sewer (see 40 CFR
35.2005(b)(11)).
Critical Basins: Means Bridge Street, Meadow Greens and Covent Branch; basins in the WCTS that
have experienced repetitive SSOs in the past five (5) years and are upstream of areas experiencing
SSOs.
Critical Part: Means any part of the utility's collection, transmission or treatment system for which the
time required to acquire a replacement part would result in, or extend, a permit violation or a sanitary
sewer overflow, including an un -permitted discharge. The replacement for a critical part is called a
critical spare part.
Egregious Overflows: Means continuing chronic overflows or those large overflows having a root
cause that utility's specific MOM program is not followed or when the utility's specific standard
operating procedure or standard maintenance procedure is not followed.
Frequent Overflows: Means those overflows that, in the judgment of the regulatory authority based on
system size and complexity, require a high level of improvement in a utility's management, operation
and maintenance programs.
Infiltration: Means water other than wastewater that enters a sewer system (including sewer service
connections and foundation drains) from the ground through such means as defective pipes, pipe joints,
connections, or manholes. (see 40 CFR 35.2005(b)(20)).
Inflow : Means water other than wastewater that enters a sewer system (including sewer service
connections) from sources such as, but not limited to, roof leaders, cellar drains, yard drains, area drains,
drains from springs and swampy areas, manhole covers, cross connections between storm sewers and
sanitary sewers, catch basins, cooling towers, storm waters, surface runoff, street wash waters, or
drainage. (see 40 CFR 35.2005(b)(21)).
Infrequent Overflows: Means those overflows that, in the judgment of the regulatory authority based
on system size and complexity, require some level of improvement in a utility's management, operation
and maintenance programs. Usually associated with isolated overflows.
Isolated Overflows: Means those overflows that are not chronic.
Maintenance Related Overflow: Means an overflow that occurs when an adequately designed and sized
system that is well operated is not able to convey all the wastewater to the treatment plant because of
poor maintenance.
Mini basin: Means a particular segment or section within the WCTS described by alpha-numeric
numbers and used as a mapping identification tool to divide the WCTS into smaller manageable
subsystems.
Municipality: Means a city, town, borough, county, parish, district, association or other public body
created by or under State law and having jurisdiction over disposal of sewage, industrial wastes, or other
wastes, or an Indian tube or an authorized Indian tribal organization, or a designated and approved
management agency under Section 1288 of the CWA (33 U.S.C. § 1362 (4) and 40 CFR 122.2).
Operations Related Overflow: Means an overflow that occurs when an adequately designed and sized
system that is well maintained is not able to convey all the wastewater to the treatment plant because of
poor operation.
Rainfall Induced Infiltration (RII): Means the portion of infiltration flows (flows coming from
infiltration sources) that enters the sewerage system during and immediately after rainfall events.
Rainfall induced infiltration does not include inflow.
Regional Collection and/or Treatment System: A collection system or treatment system that accepts
wastewaters from satellite collection systems.
Sanitary Sewer: A conduit intended to carry liquid and water carried wastes from residences,
commercial buildings, industrial plants and institutions together with minor quantities of ground, storm
and surface waters that are not admitted intentionally (see 40 CFR 35.2005(b)(37)).
Sanitary Sewer Overflow: A sanitary sewer overflow is an overflow, spill, release, or diversion of
wastewater from a sanitary sewer system. Sanitary sewer overflows include:
(A) overflows or releases of wastewater that reach Navigable waters;
(B) overflows or releases of wastewater that do not reach Navigable waters; and
(C) wastewater backups into buildings that are caused by blockages or flow conditions in a
sanitary sewer other than a building lateral. Wastewater backups into buildings caused
by a blockage or other malfunction of a building lateral that is privately owned is not a
sanitary sewer overflow.
Satellite Collection System: Means a collection system that is owned and operated by one entity that
discharges to a regional collection and/or treatment system that is owned and operated by a different
entity. Satellite collection systems depend on a separate entity for wastewater treatment and discharge.
SMP: See Standard Maintenance Procedure

U. S. EPA Small Business Resources
f you own a small business, the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) offers
a variety of compliance assistance resources such as workshops, training sessions, hotlines,
websites, and guides to assist you in complying with federal and state environmental laws. These

Compliance Incentives
EPA provides incentives for environmental compliance. By
participating in compliance assistance programs or
voluntarily disclosing and promptly correcting violations
before an enforcement action has been initiated,
businesses may be eligible for penalty waivers or reductions.
EPA has two policies that potentially apply to small
businesses:
The Small Business Compliance Policy
(www epa.govicomptiance/incentive-Wsmallbusiness)
Audit Policy
(www.epa.gov/compliancarincentivestaudtdng)
Commenting on Federal Enforcement
Actions and Compliance Activities
The Small Business Regulatory Enforcement Faimess Act
(SBREFA) established an SBA Ombudsman and 10 Regional
Fairness Boards W receive comments from small businesses
about federal agency enforcement actions. if you believe that
you fall within the Small Business Administration's definition
of a small business (based on your North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS) designation, number of
employees, or annual receipts, defined at 13 C.F.R. 121.201;
In most cases, this means a business with 500 or fewer
employees), and wish to comment on federal enforcement
and compliance activities, call the SBREFA Ombudsman's
toll-free number at 1 -888 -REG -FAIR (1-88&734-3247).
Every small business that is the subject of an enforcement
or compliance action is entitled to comment on the
Agency's actions without fear of retaliation. EPA
employees are prohibited from using enforcement or any
other means of retaliation against any member of the
regulated community in response to comments made under
SBREFA.
Your Duty to Comply
If you receive compliance assistance or submit comments
to the SBREFA Ombudsman or Regional Fairness Boards,
you still have the duty to comply with the law, including
providing timely responses to EPA information requests,
administrative or civil complaints, other enforcement
actions or communications. The assistance information
and comment processes do not give you any new rights or
defenses in any enforcement action. These processes
also do not affect EPA's obligation to protect public health
or the environment under any of the environmental statutes
it enforces, including the right to take emergency remedial
or emergency response actions when appropriate. Those
decisions will be based on the fads in each situation. The
SBREFA Ombudsman and Fairness Boards do not
participate in resolving EPA's enforcement actions. Also,
remember that to preserve your rights, you need to comply
with all rules governing the enforcement process.
EPA is disseminating this information to you
without making a determination thatyourbusiness
or organization is a small business as defined by
Section 222 of the Small Business Regulatory
Enforcement Fairness Act or related provisions.

Securities and Exchange Commission regulations require companies registered with the SEC (e.g..
publicly traded companies) to disclose, on at least a quarterly basis, the existence of certain
Administrative or Judicial proceedings taken against them arising under Federal. State or local provisions
that have the primary purpose of protecting the environment. Instruction 5 to Item 103 of the SEC's
Regulation S -K ( 17 CFR 229.103) requires disclosure of these environmental legal proceedings. For
those SEC registrants that use the SEC's -small business issuer' reporting system, instructions 1-4 to
Item 103 of the SEC's Regulation S -B ( 17 CFR 228.103) requires disclosure of these environmental legal
proceedings.
if you are an SEC registrant, you have a duty to disclose the existence of pending or known to be
contemplated environmental legal proceedings that meet any of the following criteria (17 CFR
229,103(5)(A) -(C)):
A. Such proceeding is material to the business or financial condition of the registrant;
13. Such proceeding involves primarily a claim for damages, or involves potential monetary
unctions, capital expenditures, deferred charges or charges to income and the amount
involved exclusive of interest and costs, exceeds 10 percent of the current assets of the
registrant and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis; or
C. A governmental authority is a parry to such proceeding and such proceeding involves
potential monetary sanctions, unless the registrant reasonably believes that such
proceeding will result in no monetary sanctions, or in monetary sanctions. exclusive of
interest and costs, of less than $100,000: provided, however, that such proceedings
which are similar in nature may be grouped and described generically.
Specific information regarding the environmental legal proceedings that must be disclosed is set .
forth in Item 103 of Regulation S -K or, for registrants using the "small business issuer" reporting system,
Item 103(a) -(b) of Regulation S -B. If disclosure is required, it must briefly describe the proceeding,
-including the name of the court or agency in which the proceedings are pending, the date instituted, the
principal parties thereto, a description of the factual basis alleged to underlie the proceedings and the
relief sought."
You have been identified as a party to an environmental legal proceeding to which the United States
government is, or was, a party. If you are an SEC registrant, this environmental legal proceeding may
trigger, or may already have triggered, the disclosure obligation under the SEC regulations described
above.
This notice is being provided to inform you of SEC registrants' duty to disclose any relevant
environmental legal proceedings to the SEC. This notice does not create, modify or interpret any existing
legal obligations. it is not intended to be an exhaustive description of the legally applicable requirements
and it is not a substitute for regulations published in the Code of Federal Regulations. This notice has
been issued to you for information purposes only. No determination of the applicability of this reporting
requirement to your company has been made by any governmental entity. You should seek competent
counsel in determining the applicability of these and other SEC requirements to the environmental legal
proceeding at issue, as well as any other proceedings known to be contemplated by governmental
authorities.

I. Calculating Design Return Flow
Mebane Bridge WWTP Residual Management Rehabilitation
Resizing Return Pumps at Pump Station #1
Design flow based on permitted capacity of average daily flow and current flow. Current
permited capacity is 13.5 MGD. Return flow rates are expected to be 1.0 to 0.5 times flow
rate through the plant.
A. Calculating Future Flow Design Parameters
13.5 MGD x 1.0 13.5 MGD
13.5 MGD x 0.5 6.75 MGD
To distribute the return flow between pump station 1 and 2, use a ratio from previous
calculations of weir overflow rate of two 90' clarifiers to the weir overflow rate of the 130'
clarifiers.
Weir Overflow Rate
90' Clarifiers = 4,230,000 gpd
130' Clarifiers = 6,120,000 gpd
4,230,000 gdaYn x 2
= 40.86%
4,230,000 gdaYn x 2 + 6,120,000 gdaYn x 2
Therefore, assume 40.86% of total return flow is conveyed through pump station 1.
Max. Future Flow PS #1 13.5 MGD x 0.4086 / 1,440 3,831 gpm

I. Calculating Design Waste Flow
Design waste flow was calculated in spreadsheet "Aerobic Sludge Digester" based
on influent flow rate, influent parameters, and standard assumptions.
Current Waste Flow Rate 109,241 gpd 76 gpm
Future Waste Flow Rate 3351089 gpd 233 gpm
109,241 gpd is the total waste flow for both pump station 1 and 2. To calculate the
waste flow from pump station 1 use a ratio from previous calculations of total
flow to weir overflow rate of two 90' clarifiers.
As before, assume 40.86% of total return flow is conveyed through pump station 1.
Current Waste Flow Through PS #1 76 gpm x 0.4086 31 gpm
Future Waste Flow Through PS #1 233 gpm x 0.4086 95 gpm
The limiting factors of wasting are that the Clean B operates between 175 gpm and
265 gpm.

EDEN Resizing Return Pumps at Pump Station #2
I. Calculating Design Flow
Design flow should be based on future full capacity of current permitted flow and current
flow. Current permitted capacity is 13.5 MGD. Return flow rates are expected to be 1.0 to
0.5 time the flow rate through the plant.
A. Calculating Future Flow Design Parameters
13.5 MGD x 1.0 13.5 MGD
13.5 MGD x 0.5 6.75 MGD
To distribute the return flow between pump station 1 and 2, use a ratio from previous
calculations of weir overflow rate of two 90' clarifiers to the weir overflow rate of the two
130' clarifiers.
Previous calculation indicate that 40.86% of the flow is distributed through pump station 1
while the remainer is conveyed through pump station 2. Therefore ...
Therefore, assume (100% - 40.86%) 59.14% of total return flow is conveyed
through pump station 2.
Max. Future Flow PS #2 13.5 MGD x 0.5914 / 1440 5,544 gpm
Min. Future Flow PS #2 6.75 MGD x 0.5914 / 1440 2,772 gpm

EDEN Resizing Waste Pumps at Pump Station #2
I. Calculating Design Flow
Design waste flow was calculated in spreadsheet "Aerobic Sludge Digester"
based on influent flow rate, influent parameters, and standard assumptions.
Current Waste Flow Rate 109,241 gpd 76 gpm
Future Waste Flow Rate 335,089 gpd 233 gpm
109,241 gpd is the total waste flow for both pump station 1 and 2. To calculate
the waste flow from pump station 1 use a ratio from previous calculations of total
flow to weir overflow rate of two 90' clarifiers.
As before, assume 59.14% of total return flow is conveyed through pump station 1.
Current Waste Flow Through PS #1 76 gpm x 0.5914 45 gpm
Future Waste Flow Through PS #1 233 gpm x 0.5914 138 gpm
The limiting factors of wasting are that the Clean B operates between 175 gpm
and 265 gpm.

EDEN Design of Transfer Pump Station
I. Calculating Design Flow
Design flow should be loosely based on proposed day tank influent flow rate of 200 gpm,
the existing day tank volume of 50,000 gallons. Most likely need is to be able to fill the
existing day tank in rapid succession. Therefore design pumps to be able to fill existing day
tank within 4 hours.
Recommended Design Flow Rate 208 gpm
All calculations are based on elevations from 1990s drawings.
