SUBJECT: King's Mountain Enforcement Follow up
Permit No. NCO032867
Kings Mountain Travel Plaza
Cleveland County
Dear Mr. Khan:
On June 25, 2019, staff and myself with the Mooresville Regional Office met with you to discuss
the ongoing compliance issues at the subject facility as well as outstanding civil penalties assessed
against the subject facility. During this meeting, you indicated that you were pursuing alternative
means of wastewater disposal at the subject facility in order to ultimately rescind the subject NPDES
Permit. As per the information you provided, these options included either connecting to the City of
Kings Mountain's sewer system or obtaining approval from the Cleveland County Health Department to
construct an appropriate conventional septic tank/drain field. You indicated that you had a scheduled
meeting with the City of Kings Mountain immediately following our meeting on June 25th regarding the
sewer line connection. Based on information you provided to this Office from the City of Kings
Mountain, we understand that connection to the City of King's Mountain sewer collection system is
currently not a feasible option. This Office also contacted the Cleveland County Health Department on
August 21, 2019 and were informed that no application for a conventional septic tank/drain field for the
subject property has been received.
Due to the lack of progress in achieving compliance with NPDES Permit No. NC0032867,
completing the facility repairs noted in previous compliance inspections and Division correspondences,
and/or securing alternative means of wastewater treatment and disposal, the following unpaid civil
penalty assessed must be immediately addressed:

If no approved alternative means of wastewater disposal are implemented, then full compliance
must immediately be achieved at the subject wastewater treatment facility. The following
non-compliance issues and timelines for completion were discussed during an onsite meeting with you
in October 2018:
1. Flow meter chart recorder — repair and place in operation February 1, 2019
2. Two septic tanks — repair leaks and connection piping May 1, 2019
3. Inactive aeration basins — install blowers and grating June 1, 2019
4. Aerobic digester and holding tank leaks and repairs — inspect & repair August 1, 2019
"Please note that all of the completion dates for repairs listed above have passed.
Further Division action will result should you continue to fail to take immediate action in order to
resolve all non-compliance issues at the subject facility or implement alternative means of wastewater
disposal. You are also reminded that you currently have multiple outstanding civil penalty assessments
that total $11, 650.03 that must be resolved immediately.
