or any other time as needed. An NDMR could have data reflecting irrigation of effluent and also indicate no
DocuSign Envelope ID: A3A24E50-4AE1-485E-8614-9F975B9AFAC0
FORM: APSRSR 04-10 Page 3 of 4
effluent spray because they were discharging under the NPDES permit. BIMS does not recognize two permit
requirements on the same form and therefore generates false violations. Some of the violations might be
alleviated by entering zero in the Flow column.

14. Check all that apply:
No compliance issues Current enforcement action(s) Currently under JOC
Notice(s) of violation Currently under SOC Currently under moratorium
Please explain and attach any documents that may help clarify answer/comments (i.e., NOV, NOD, etc.)
This NOV was for the Compliance Inspection conducted in August 2018. Only approximately one/half of the

V. ADDITIONAL REGIONAL STAFF REVIEW ITEMS
The non-discharge permit requires effluent not meeting reuse requirements be routed to the stream under the NPDES
permit. Fecal coliform analytical results are not available for least 24 hours after sampling. As a result, it would be
difficult to ensure that all effluent is properly routed.

In addition, the issues below must also be addressed:

Compliance Issue(s):

1. The composite sampler is set for time/volume sample collection. The sampler should be set for
flow proportional sampling.
2. An acceptance letter from the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) agreeing to accept residuals
from Champion Hills WWTP should be included in the Residuals Management Plan, see permit
condition III.20.

Remedial actions should have already been taken to correct this problem and prevent further occurrences in the
future. The Division of Water Resources may pursue enforcement action for this and any additional violations of
State law.
To prevent further action, please respond in writing to this office within 30 days upon your receipt of this Notice
of Violation regarding your plans or measures to be taken to address the indicated violations and other identified
issues, if applicable.

The results from the split sample with the contract operator will be forwarded to you when laboratory results have
been verified.

The WWTP ORC and the Spray Irrigation ORC should communicate prior to switching between pond and stream
discharge to ensure monitoring is occurring at the proper time and location.

Reminder: The spray irrigation equipment is required to be calibrated before the end of the permit cycle.

If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Beverly Price with the Water Quality
Regional Operations Section in the Asheville Regional Office at 828-296-4500.

Inspection Summary:
The inspection was conducted by Beverly Price and Dan Boss of the Asheville Regional Office. Craig Galloway, Director of
Grounds & Maintenance, Juanita James and Danielle Hunter of James & James Environmental Management, Inc. were
present and assisted with the inspection.
Lift Station #1(influent) floats and alarms (audible & visual) were inspected and were functioning properly.
The Fats, Oils & Grease (FOG) notification can be added to the Reclaimed Education Program material. The word
“non-potable” should be added to the reclaimed water use notification sign in the clubhouse.
The dual submersible pumps in the EQ basin have been replaced with an air lift system. Ms. James indicated that they
have decided to reinstall the submersible pumps and that both pumps are ready to be installed.
The current method for collecting composite samples is time/volume based. Composite samples should be flow
proportional. The WWTP ORC and the spray irrigation ORC should communicate prior to switching from irrigation pond
discharge to stream discharge to ensure samples are collected at the proper time and location.
The effluent meter was calibrated 1/29/18 by Laboratory Instrument Services.
The effluent composite sampler temperature was 1-degree C.
According to the ORC’s, the settleometer test is conducted once per week. The log book showed 60% on 8/13/18. Both
clarifiers were high in solids at approximately 11 ft. Pin floc was observed flowing over the clarifier weirs.
Solids were pumped by Mike’s Septic on 8/13/18; 6 loads were hauled to MSD. Mike's Septic was also on site at the time
of inspection to pump out the tertiary filter tank.
As a reminder, the irrigation system components are required to be calibrated once per permit cycle. This calibration
should be completed by January 31, 2019.
The chlorinator box has been repaired. A metal plate was added to hold the chlorinator tubes in place.
According to the ORC’s, the tertiary filter is only partially functional. Approximately ½ of the effluent is run through the filter
and it cannot be backwashed. Failure to document backwashing of the filters was noted in the 2016 inspection. Past
inspections have shown that effluent was not being passed through the filter. The permittee did say that a contractor/bid has
been submitted for replacing the filter motor and pump. The bid is to be approved by the Board on August 14th. New media
(sand/anthracite) has been purchased and is ready to be installed.
The following maintenance issues were noted:
1.Weirs need to be cleaned.
2.Two small grates over the EQ basin were rusted and need to be replaced.
3.There is a crack between the digester and EQ wall that needs to be repaired.
4.The tertiary filter was not fully operational. One of the pumps was down and one pump needs a reverse thread coupling.
Field Parameters checked with inspector’s YSI meter:
pH: 6.75 @ 21.1 degree C
DO: 4.05 mg/l
The split sample results will be forwarded to the permittee when results have been finalized.
Irrigation was not occurring at the time of inspection.

This system was not originally designed to automatically divert off-specification effluent from the
irrigation pond. When off-spec effluent is discovered it can be manually (open valve to stream
discharge) diverted to discharge to the stream under the NPDES permit. Chlorine tablets could
be added to the irrigaiton pond if effluent was found to exceed fecal coliform limits.
The sprayfield is a golf course so irrigation is normally done when golfing is not occurring.
A sign is posted in the clubhouse notifiying golfers of the use of reclaimed water; the term
"non-potable" should be added to the notification sign.
Irrigation was not occurring at the time of inspection.

This system was not designed to return off-spec effluent wastewater to the WWTP. Effluent not
meeting reclaimed standards is discharged to the stream under the NPDES permit. However,
effluent not meeting the fecal coliform reclaimed criteria could be discharged to the irrigation
pond as the results of fecal coliform analyses are not instantaneous.
There are mature pine trees at the toe of the dam. These trees were evaluated by an engineer
several years ago. At that ime, the engineer felt that if the roots were extending to the pond, they
would have no detrimental impact to its operation There was no evidence of roots penetrating
the liner at that time. The recommendation was to thoroughly inspect the liner during the winter
months when the irrigaiton pond is empty to ensure proper operations. The operator should
continue with this recommendation as the investigation was conducted several years ago.
