Case # NOV-2019-PC-0073
Permittee: Greater Badin Collection System
Permit No. WQCS00171
Stanly County
Dear Mr. Wingo:
Mr. Barry Love of the Mooresville Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Resources
(DWR or the Division) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) of the Greater
Badin wastewater collection system (WWCS) on January 24, 2019. The assistance of Mr.
Clinton Hinson during the inspection was greatly appreciated. A copy of the inspection
report is attached for your records and inspection findings are summarized below.
Site/System Review
2. The following system components were inspected:
a. Three pump stations were inspected.
b. Six manholes were inspected.
C. Two right of ways were inspected.
3. As you are aware, owners of permitted collection systems must comply with their permit
and all rules listed under NC Administrative Code 15A NCAC 02T .0400, et seq. Stanly
County's compliance status with each of these rules is summarized below:
a. 15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(1): Requires that the system be effectively maintained
and operated at all times to prevent discharge to land or surface waters and any
contravention of ground or surface water standards.

D."—W a E.A.—.i e..nq 704.663.1699
Observations: 3,308 linear feet of sewer line was cleaned this past year which is
5.7 percent of the total gravity sewer listed in the permit. The permit requires that
10% be cleaned every year.
Compliance Status: Non -Compliant
b. 15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(2): Requires that a map of the wastewater collection
system be developed and actively maintained.
Observations: Maps were available but lacked information. Pipe size, pipe
materials, flow direction, pipe age, and service taps were not listed on the maps.
The operator said they are working on getting a computer-based mapping system
going, but this may be 2-3 years out. In the mean -time extra information should be
added to the paper maps.
Compliance Status: Non -Compliant
15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(3): Requires that an operation and maintenance (O&M)
plan be developed and implemented, which includes pump station inspection
frequency, preventative maintenance schedule, spare parts inventory and overflow
response.
Observations: Protocol was set up to address most needs. Pump station logs were
available documenting weekly inspections. Spare parts and pumps are kept in stock.
Compliance Status: Compliant
d. 15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(4): Requires that the permittee or its representative
inspect pump stations that are not connected to a telemetry system (i.e., remote
alarm system) every day (i.e., 365 days per year) and pump stations that are
connected to a telemetry system at least once per week.
Observations: The pump station inspection logs indicate that the pump stations
are visited weekly as required.
Compliance Status: Compliant
15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(5): Requires that the permittee or its representative
inspect high-priority sewers (HPS - as defined in 15A NCAC 02T.0402(2)) at least
once every six months and document the inspections.
Observations: The operator indicated that high-priority line at the Airport 1 pump
station is inspected routinely when the pump station is checked. It was also
indicated that there is some exposed line on the Steakhouse Rd. right of way.
Records need to be maintained showing all high-priority lines are checked at least
every six months.
Compliance Status: Compliant
f. 15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(6): Requires that the permittee or its representative
conduct a general observation of the entire wastewater collection system at least
once per year.
Observations: This requirement seems to be met through maintenance of right of
ways, pump station inspections, and other activities that are documented.
Compliance Status: Compliant.
g. 15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(7): Requires that overflows and bypasses from the
system be reported to the Division's Mooresville Regional Office in accordance
with 15A NCAC 02B .0506(a), and that public notice must be provided as required
by G. S. 143-215.1C.
Observations: SSO's are reported and documented as required. The NC
regulations and statutes, which cover the reporting requirements for SSOs, are
found in NC Administrative Code 15A NCAC 02B .0506(a) and NC General
Statute 143-215.1C, respectively. You may access the NC regulations online at the
NC Office of Administrative Hearings (OAH) website at:
hqp://www.oah.state.nc.us/rules/ and the NC General Statutes online at the NC
General Assembly's website at:
htttp://www.ncga.state.nc.us/gascripts/Statutes/StatutesTOC.RI. You may wish to
review them to ensure you are fully familiar with all requirements.
When reporting SSOs to DWQ, you must call the Mooresville Regional Office
(MRO) at 704-663-1699 during normal business hours. If outside normal business
hours, you must report the spill to the NC Division of Emergency Management at
1-800-858-0368. Please note that all reportable SSOs must be reported within 24
hours of the occurrence, or first knowledge, of the SSO. Please also note that voice
mail or faxed messages are not considered as the initial verbal report. You must
talk to and report the spill to a live person.
Compliance Status: Compliant
h. 15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(8): Requires that a grease control program be developed
and implemented as follows:
For publicly owned collection systems, the Grease Control Program shall
include at least bi-annual distribution of grease education materials to users
and the legal means to require grease interceptors. The Program shall also
include legal means for inspections, enforcement, and legal means to
control grease entering the system from other public and private satellite
sewer systems.
2. Grease education materials shall be distributed more often than required
above if necessary to prevent grease -related sanitary sewer overflows.
Observations: Educational information is mailed out once a year, along with being
included in the Annual Report which is available to customers. A grease control
program has been written up including businesses which would fall under the
program, but the program has not yet been implemented. This needs to be done.
Compliance Status: Non -Compliant.
15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(9): Requires that right-of-ways (ROW) and easements
be maintained in the full easement width for personnel and equipment accessibility.
Observations: Good records were available documenting ROW maintenance.
Right of ways inspected appeared to be well maintained.
Compliance Status: Compliant.
15A NCAC 02T .0403(a)(10): Requires that documentation be kept for all
activities you undertake to comply with the requirements of 15A NCAC 02T .0403,
subparagraphs (a)(1) through (a)(9), for a minimum of three years, with the
exception of the map, which shall be maintained for the life of the system.
Observations: Records were available for most activities. Documentation of all
activities should be maintained to show that its being done. More information in
the pump station logs would be beneficial
Compliance Status: Compliant
4. In accordance with NC General Statute 143-215.6A, these violations are subject to civil
penalty assessments not to exceed $25,000 per day, per violation. Your written response
and the actions that you take to address these violations listed herein will be considered in
deciding whether or not such penalties are necessary to compel compliance.
5. Corrective actions that should be taken for the above violations are as follows:
a. Documentation that 10% of the line is cleaned annually.
b. Documentation that the grease control program has been implemented.
c. Updating maps to include more required information.
It is requested that a written response be submitted by no later than March 12, 2019
regarding these violations. Also, please take note of the comments in the inspection report
for other issues that need to be addressed. The inspection report should be self-explanatory;
however, if you have any questions regarding the inspection report or this letter please give
me or Barry Love a call at 704-663-1699.
