Subject: Rescission of NPDES Stormwater Permit
Certificate of Coverage Number NCG110119
Rowan County
On August 17, 2016, the Division of Energy, Mineral and Land Resources received your request
to rescind your coverage under Certificate of Coverage Number NCG 110119. In accordance
with your request, Certificate of Coverage Number NCG 110119 is rescinded effective
immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of
stormwater to waters of the State without valid coverage under an NPDES permit is against
federal and state laws and could result in fines. If something changes and your facility would
again require stormwater or wastewater discharge permit coverage, you should notify this office
immediately. We will be happy to assist you in assuring the proper permit coverage.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would
inform the new or prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact us at 919-707-9220, or the Stormwater
staff in our Regional Office [phone].

With the. abandonment of GC23, and no stormwater discharged being piped from the

Comment: No alternatives to current practices were feasible.
Containment is provided for fuel storage. Diesel fuel for the generator is in a
double -walled tank. A double walled tank is also used for fueling tractors and other
equipment, no evidence of fuel leaks or spills was evident on the soil near the tank. It is
recommended that the fueling area be covered in an impervious surface with
containment (bermed or contained by a sloped floor or put under roof). Other
containment includes plastic tubs beneath fuel tanks, the water collected in the tubs is
inspected for oil sheen prior to being discharged to the WWTP.
Training was conducted on 8/11/09 using the EPA video "After the Storm".
The plan was updated on 315110, two additonal outfalls were added to the plan, TC 22

Subject: Rescission of NPDES General Permit,
Certificate of Coverage NumberNCG 1 10119
Salisbury -Rowan Utilities - Salisbury -Rowan W WTP {Grant Creek
On 7/9/2009, the Division of Water Quality received your request to rescind you coverage under Certificate of Coverage
Number NCG 1 101 19. In accordance with your request, Certificate of Coverage Number NCG 1101 19 is rescinded
effective immediately.
Operating a treatment facility, discharging wastewater or discharging specific types of storinwater to waters of the State
without valid coverage under an NPDES permit will subject the responsible party to a civil penalty of up to $25,000 per
day. It is the intention of DWQ that enforcement proceedings will occur for persons that have voluntarily relinquished
permit coverage when, in fact; continuing permit coverage was necessary. If, in retrospect, you feel the site still requires
.permit coverage, you should notify this office immediately. Furthermore, if in the future you wish to again discharge to
the State's surface waters, you must first apply for and receive a new NPDES permit.
If the facility is in the process of being sold, you will be performing a public service if you would inform the new or
prospective owners of their potential need for NPDES permit coverage.
If you have questions about this matter, please contact Sarah Young at [phone], or the Water Quality staff in our
Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699.

discharge leaves the facility site and on this basis SRU requests the rescinding of the subject
permit.
Please contact me at [phone] or email sbasi _,salisburync..gov if you require any additional
information, and I appreciate your assistance in this matter.

Permit: NCG110119 Owner - Facility: Salisbury -Rowan Utilities
Inspection Date: 06/03/2008 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Reason for VIslt: Routine
Inspection Summary:
The Salisbury Rowan Utilities Department was issued COC NCG110119 with an effective date of March 14, 2008 for the
Grants Creek Treatment train (NPDES Permit NC0023884). An on -site inspection determined the following:
1. The stormwater from outfalls GC22 and GC14 enter the WWTP influent stream at the headworks structure. 2. GC18
has been sealed.
3. GC19 - GC21 outfall leaves the site and is the only current area of exposure. The Rowan Salisbury Utilities alternative
to discharge analysis shows this outfall could be eliminated and sheet flow incorporated (there are no process units in the
vicinity, only a grassed lawn). Shoud this outfall (GC19 -GC21) be eliminated, there would be no exposure at the facility.

either routed to the WWTP influent flow structure, or sealed off. The only exposure
currently is at GC21. Should this outfall be eliminated and the site graded to allow

In accordance with your application for a discharge permit received on January 17, 2008,
we are forwarding herewith the subject certificate of coverage to discharge under the subject state —
NPDES general 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 US

Per our phone conversation on January 301h, 2008, you stated that the conveyance leading to
outfall G20 at the Grant Creek Treatment Train appears to be blocked. The DENR Mooresville
Regional Office has noted that this may cause stormwater to back up and pick up contamination
from the screening and grit collection area at this facility. Stormwater discharge containing
untreated material from your wastewater treatment train would not be permitted under your NPDES
stormwater NCG11 permit. Please note that you must develop a written action plan for addressing
this concern and provide it to the Mooresville Regional Office by April 30, 2008 for their review
and approval. Your plan should include a timeline to correct this and any other stormwater
drainage problems at your facility.
This permit does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be

Should GC17 outfall run over, then there may be considerable potential for the
stormwater to pick up contamination from the screening/grit collection area. Most
concern would be for fecal coliform. I would recommend that the blockage be located
and removed to prevent this from happening.

Hi John,
Yes - GC20 is the outlet from GC17 - it is directly below (if the legend is facing
the correct way) and is in the woods. It is labeled, but their letters and
numbers are in the trees directly to the left of the outfall.
I hope this helps - if you have any other questions/concerns please let me know.
Thanks,
Jen

we could not locate GC20 on the Grants Creek site map. Assuming it is the
outlet from GC17 (the only outlet not numbered on our copy) then the overflow
from GC17 would go near the screening/grit collection system. and the influent
pump station. Staff cannot make a decision on this outfall until GC20 can be
located on the map... no other comments.. JL

Hi Rob,
We've received 2 an NOIs from Salisbury --Rowan Utilities for coverage of
their WWTPs in Rowan County - the Town Creek Treatment Train and Grants
Creek Treatment Train - under NCG11 (Treatment Works). The site discharges
stormwater into Town Creek and Grants Creek, respectively. (However, the
wastewater is now sent from the Town Creek TT to Grants Creek TT). I tried
to attach the NOI - but it said they were too big. I will try to send it
again after this.
The only question I have with these sites is about an outfall (GC20) at the
Grants Creek Treatment train. Sonja Basinger is the engineer there (I think
she used to work at the Mooresville RO?) and she said that she tried to find
where it should be coming out using smoke but it appears to be blocked. I
asked if she could find where that side of the facility was draining to - if
the pipe was cracked or if it was draining over land and she said it didn't
appear to be cracked, seeping up through the ground or coming off in another
area/culvert.
Anyway, I asked if she could try to look again because our concern is that
if the pipe is blocked then it will back up when it drains or drain off in
some other area. I am also attaching the answers to these questions she gave
me -below.
Does the Mooresville Regional Office have any concerns about issuing this
facility a COC for this general permit, and are there any potential impacts
to wetlands? If someone out there has time to visit it, that might be
worthwhile.
If we don't receive any objections, we'll issue the COC in 30 days.
If you have any questions regarding this please let me know.
Thanks,
Jen Jones

Hi Sonja,
Thank you for answering my questions over the phone. I have some answers to your questions...
1. Yes - Salisbury -Rowan Town Creek and Grants Creek Treatment Trains (and municipal treatment works) are considered Industrial
Sites.
2. You will have 12 months to implement your Stormwater Pollution and Prevention Plan (SP3) after your Certificate of Coverage is
issued for your general Permit. See: http://h2o.ertr.state.nc.us/su/PDF_Files/SW—Documents/SWPPP_GD.PDF
3. For the Grants Creek facility - we are a little concerned as to where the stormwater is going once it enters the storm drain that
appears to be blocked (outfall GC20). Our thought is that it must be leaking out somewhere as there are a lot of inlets - otherwise it
would be backing up on site - seems like. Unless this occurred after your last significant storm event. If you could please take another
,look at this storm drain to find out where the Stormwater is exiting. If you cannot, can you sample at inlet GC 17? We would much
prefer that you would be able to sample at that outlet (GC20). Have you tested from all inlets and can you find the segment where the
blockage or leakage has occured?
Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.
Thanks,
Jen Jones

Said ok to issue permit.

Hi Rob,
We've received 2 an NOIs from Salisbury -Rowan Utilities for coverage of their WWTPs in Rowan County
- the Town Creek Treatment Train and Grants Creek Treatment Train - under NCG11(Treatment
Works). The site discharges stormwater into Town Creek and Grants Creek, respectively. (However, the
wastewater is now sent from the Town Creek TT to Grants Creek TT). The NOIs are attached.
The only question I have with these sites is about an outfall (GC20) at the Grants Creek Treatment train.
Sonia Basinger is the engineer there (I think she used to work at the Mooresville RO?) and she said that
she tried to find where it should be coming out using smoke but it appears to be blocked. I asked if she
could find where that side of the facility was draining to - if the pipe was cracked or if it was draining over
land and she said it didn't appear to be cracked, seeping up through the ground or coming off in another
area/culvert.
Anyway, I asked if she could try to look again because our concern is that if the pipe is blocked then it will
backup when it drains or drain off in some other area. I am attaching the answers to these questions she
gave me below.
Does the Mooresville Regional Office have any concerns about issuing this facility a COC for this general
permit, and are there any potential impacts to wetlands? If someone out there has time to visit it, that
might be worthwhile.
If we don't receive any objections, we'll issue the COC in 30 days, pending DEH approval.
Thanks,
Jennifer Jones
