Subject: Notice of Violation
PAR Review
Town of Maiden
NPDES Permit No. NCO039594
Catawba County
Tracking #: NOV-2019-PC-0260
Mooresville Regional Office staff has reviewed your Pretreatment Annual Report (PAR) for the reporting period
of January through December 2018. Based on the review, this letter is being issued as a Notice of Violation (NOV)
due to the Town's failure to properly implement the Pretreatment Program. Specifically, the Town failed to determine
Significant Non Compliance (SNC) status for GKN Driveline (IUP #001) during the first half of 2018. One of the
two copper results reported during this period was a Technical Review Criteria violation and therefore, the SILT was
in SNC. Please be advised that the Town must determine SNC status according to 40 CFR 403.8(f)(2)(viii), 15A
NCAC 2H .0903(b)(34), and local sewer use ordinance.
The Town has submitted corrected copies of the PAR (including Narrative, PPS Form, SNCR, IDSF) for review
by this Office prior to completing the evaluation. In addition, the Town's Pretreatment Coordinator has already
submitted a copy of the Public Notice to address the SIU's SNC status. After a review of the updated PAR, the Town
has completed the PAR in accordance with 15A NCAC 2H .0908(b) requirements and guidelines set forth in the
Comprehensive Guidance for North Carolina Pretreatment Programs.
It is requested that a written response be submitted to this Office by May 10, 2019, addressing the Town's actions
to prevent the recurrence of this violation. In responding, please address your comments to Mr. Bell.
