SUBJECT: Notice of Violation (NOV-2020-PC-0392)
Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Permit No. WQ0003857
Caswell County
Dear Ms. Moore:
On August 24, 2020, DWR staff Caitlin Caudle and Patrick Mitchell performed an announced
scheduled routine compliance inspection. Designated ORC Glenn Price was present during the
entire inspection, and facility contact Larry Moore was present during part of the inspection. A
review of records, irrigation fields, irrigation equipment, and treatment system components was
completed.
ORC and facility contact were both given a reminder that a permit renewal application must be
submitted by the end of September 2020. ORC was reminded that irrigation equipment must be
calibrated once per permit cycle and must be completed before March 31, 2021.
The facility was found to be noncompliant with the subject permit. The following violations were
noted:
1. Permit condition 1.2 states that "within 180 days of permit issuance, all of the permitted
irrigation areas shall be cleared of broadleaf weeds and woody vegetation, and a suitable
year-round vegetative cover established" and Permit Condition 111.3 states that "a
suitable year round vegetative cover shall be maintained at all times, such that crop health
is optimized, allows for even distribution of effluent and allows inspection of the irrigation
system."
At the time of inspection Zones 1, 2, and 3 were overrun with broadleaf weeds and
creeping vines and Zone 4 with broadleaf weeds and woody vegetation. This was also
noted in compliance inspection letters dated April 15, 2015 and March 28, 2016. The
vegetation present made it difficult to inspect the irrigation zones for over ground runoff,
below ground leaks, and inspect the sprinkler risers. The vegetation present is seasonal,
and as a result will die off in winter months. This could result in effluent runoff and ponding

on bare ground, and ground water quality impacts as there likely will be no living vegetation
to uptake applied nutrients. Please implement a routine weed management practices
and establish a suitable year-round vegetative cover.
2. As stated before, Permit Condition 111.3 requires a suitable year-round vegetative cover
be established and the irrigation zone be maintained so the system can be inspected.
Zone 4 has not been utilized since April 2018. At the time of inspection, Zone 4 was
overgrown with small saplings, broadleaf weeds, and briars such that sprinkler risers could
not be located. Failure to maintain the irrigation zones for operations is also a violation of
Permit Condition 111.1. Please clear the saplings and other unsuitable vegetation,
and establish a suitable vegetative cover before utilizing Zone 4 again. If the
permittee has no intention of returning Zone 4 to use, a permit modification is
necessary to remove Zone 4 from Permit Attachment B. Please be aware that this
modification may result in a reduction in permitted flow for the facility.
3. Permit Condition 1.3 states that the Winston Salem Regional Office approve of the
location of two new monitoring wells, and these wells be installed within 180 days of permit
issuance. Per discussions with the ORC at the time, WSRO hydrogeologist, and the
consulting environmental firm, two new wells (a well upgradient of the irrigation zones,
MW6, and a well downgradient of the irrigation zones, MW7) were to be installed in the
time frame provided by the permit.
At the time of inspection, MW1 was still present, but had been reportedly repaired, and a
new downgradient well (MW5) had been installed within 180 days of the permit issuance.
Please provide written justification as to why a new upgradient monitoring well
(MW6) was not installed per Permit Condition 1.3.
4. Per Permit Condition 111.10, "residuals generated from the wastewater treatment facilities
shall be disposed or utilized in accordance with 15A NCAC 02T .1100. The permittee shall
maintain a residual management plan pursuant to 15A NCAC 02T .0508." Permit
Condition IV.8 states that "a record shall be maintained of all residuals removed from this
facility."
This includes the removal of solids from the grease trap and bar screen. At the time of
inspection, the grease trap had a large volume of solids built up with an excessive amount
of flies and maggots, as well as odors which could lead to nuisance complaints. The solids
removed from the bar screen were being placed in a container with a crack allowing
leachate from the solids to infiltrate the ground. The intended solids collection area next
to the bar screen, which would return leachate to the wastewater system, appeared to
have a clogged drain. This issue was also noted in a letter dated December 17, 2018.
Please make necessary repairs to the drain in the solids collection area, use the
designed collection area to store solids appropriately before disposal, and take
steps to reduce potential nuisance conditions.
At the time of inspection, the facility contact stated that Valley Protein, Inc. collects
rendering products from the facility and periodically removes solids from the grease trap.
The facility contact was not able to provide records of solids removal at the time of
inspection but stated they would provide an electronic copy. Permit Condition IV.8 states

that residuals removal records "shall be maintained at the facility for a period of no less
than five years, and shall be made available to the Division upon requires." Please
reference Permit Condition IV.8 and request the appropriate information from Valley
Protein, Inc. and maintain these records on site for at least five year. Based on the
state of the grease trap, volume of solids removed from the bar screen, and
increased production at the facility; it is the recommendation of the Division that
solids removal be placed on a regular schedule or that adequate inspection occur
to prevent nuisance conditions and the movement of solids beyond the grease trap.
5. Permit Condition IV.3 states that "flow through the treatment facility shall be continuously
monitored, and daily average flow values shall be reported on Form NDMR." At the time
of inspection ORC stated that the influent water supply flow meter that previously utilized
to record and report influent flow to the system is no longer being used. Instead, flow is
being calculated by dividing the total volume irrigated by the number of days in the
reporting month. Reporting effluent dosed to the irrigation fields is incorrect and does not
meet the requirements contained in the Permit Attachment A for monitoring and reporting
of daily flow into the system. Please replace the previously used flow meter or install
a new influent flow meter at the head of the wastewater treatment plant in order to
measure the volume of influent flowing through the facility.
6. Permit Condition V.1 states "the Permittee shall provide adequate inspection and
maintenance to ensure proper operation of the wastewater treatment and irrigation
facilities" and Permit Condition V.2 states that "the Permittee or their designee shall
inspect the wastewater treatment and irrigation facilities to prevent malfunctions, facility
deterioration and operator errors resulting in discharges..." Permit Condition 111.1 states
"the facilities shall be properly maintained ... at all times."
At the time of inspection, the aerator in Lagoon #2 was being repaired. The facility contact
stated that the aerator was being replaced and rewired, with the hopes of being fixed within
7-10 days.
While inspecting Lagoon #2 it was noted that there were a number of animal burrows and
disturbances on the interior of the embankment. The holes in the embankment would be
covered if the freeboard was less than three foot. These holes present a hazard to the
structural integrity of the lagoon embankment and also serve as bypasses to the system
when effluent is entering these holes. While inspecting Lagoon #1 erosion was noted
around the cable anchor on the north side of the lagoon. This erosion could present a
hazard to the structural integrity of the lagoon embankment. Please take measures to
prevent further erosion to the embankments of Lagoon #1 and Lagoon #2 and take
measures to remove the animal causing disturbances to the embankments.
At the time of inspection there was a hole in the roof of the pump house and an estimated
six inches of water present in the pump house. There was evidence of stormwater causing
erosion under a structural wall of the pump house. This structure contains the chlorination
equipment and irrigation pump. Please repair the roof of the pump house and divert
stormwater to prevent further erosion under the structural wall. Further
deterioration of this structure could impact the wastewater system components
contained within.

The effluent distribution box controlling effluent flow to Zones 1, 2, and 3 was not clearly
marked and partially covered by vegetation. The lid covering the distribution box was also
cracked and in need of replacement. Standing water was present in the distribution box
and immediately downslope of the distribution box. Please replace the lid covering the
distribution box and clearly mark the location of the distribution box in the irrigation
field with permanent markers, such as posts with flagging. Once mowing has
occurred, please inspect the box and the area downslope to ensure no damage to
piping or leaks are occurring during irrigation events. Further damage to the
distribution box could result in damages to the piping within.
The following concerns were noted:
A. Permit Condition 1.1 states that "within 180 days of permit issuance, all stormwater drains
and diversions shall be disconnected and/or diverted away from the wastewater irrigation
system." Per a routine compliance inspection from March 15, 2018, it was indicated that
a stormwater retention pond was to be constructed to manage stormwater. Please
provide an updated site map with the constructed stormwater retention pond or
provide a written explanation of how stormwater runoff is being diverted from the
irrigation system.
B. Per Permit Condition 1.4 an updated site map was to be submitted to the Division within
60 days of installation of monitoring wells. Please provide an updated site map with the
components listed in Permit Condition 1.4.
C. Permit Condition 111.1 states "the permittee shall maintain an Operation and Maintenance
Plan, which at a minimum shall include operational functions, maintenance schedules,
safety measures and a spill response plan." At the time of inspection, a spill response plan
was not available on site. Please develop an updated Operation and Maintenance Plan
and Spill Response Plan that includes updated contact information for those
agencies that require notification in the event of a spill.
D. Per Permit Condition 111.9 "public access to the irrigation sites and wastewater treatment
facilities shall be prohibited." At the time of inspection, no public access restriction
measures were present, such as signage or fencing around the wastewater treatment
facility and irrigation fields. Please take measures to limit public access to the
irrigation fields and wastewater treatment facility.
E. Per Permit Condition 111.14 "earthen embankment areas shall be kept mowed or
otherwise controlled and accessible." There was an area on the south side of Lagoon #1
that was overgrown with weeds and was inaccessible for inspection. Please take
measures to clear this vegetation and establish appropriate year-round vegetative
cover that allows for inspection of the lagoon embankments.
F. Permit Condition IV.5 lists a set of information that must be recorded during each
irrigation event. At the time of inspection not all required information is being reported each
month. The most current Division approved monthly reporting forms include all necessary
information. Please begin using the most current version of Division approved Non

Discharge Monitoring Report (NDMR) and Non Discharge Application Report
(NDAR-1) forms. Electronic copies are available at
https://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources/water-resources-
permits/wastewater-branch/non-discharge-permitting-unit/reporting-
forms#wastewater-&-reclaimed-water-forms.
G. Permit Condition 111.1, Permit Condition 111.6, Permit Condition IV.5, Permit Condition
IV.6, Permit Condition IV.8, Permit Condition IV.9, Permit Condition IV.13, and Permit
Condition V.2 require various records, inspection logs, and maintenance information be
maintained on site at all times for at least five year. Please review these permit
conditions and maintain the appropriate information on site.
Your immediate attention to the violations and concerns noted above is greatly appreciated. This
office request that you provide a written response within ten (10) calendar days following
receipt of this notice. Your response should include the following: actions that were taken to
remedy these violations and concerns, actions proposed with a timeline for completion, and any
proposed plans intended to prevent future violations from occurring. Please be advised that if
these items are not properly addressed, or plans made to address these concerns the Division
may take further action. A follow up inspection will be schedule within 90 days of receipt of
response from the permittee.

H. Permit Condition 111.1, Permit Condition 111.6, Permit Condition IV.5, Permit Condition IV.6, Permit Condition IV.8, Permit
Condition IV.9, Permit Condition IV.13, and Permit Condition V.2 require various records, inspection logs, and maintenance
information be maintained on site at all times for at least five year. Please review these permit conditions and maintain the
appropriate information on site.
Other items noted:
• Below the distribution box for Zones 1, 2, and 3 there was an area of standing water. It was difficult to note the extent of
the standing water. A follow up visit is needed after the irrigation zones have been cleared and the lid to the distribution box
is fixed to review that area.
• The ORC stated that sludge has not been removed from Lagoon #1 to his knowledge. A sludge survey may be needed tc
establish the sludge level in the treatment lagoon, and further action taken if needed.
• Above the grease trap there was an exposed PVC pipe with a hole in it. The pipe appeared to originate from a drain in a
paved area that was below a rendering loading area. There appears to be flow through the pipe as the grass around the pipe
was pressed down. This needs to be repaired to prevent a potential bypass from occurring.
• The area of heavy vegetation on Lagoon #1 was noted in the Inspection Field Notes from 2/2/2017 Inspection. The
presence of animal holes/disturbances was also noted.
• Plans for a stormwater retention pond construction was noted in the Inspection Field Notes from 3/15/2018. "Repair" of
MW 1 was also noted in the field notes.
Standing water present in the pump house was mentioned as far back as 6/29/2004.

• Photos are available in the event folder located on the G drive of the bar screen, grease trap, and Lagoon #2
embankment.
• Permit WQ0002857 dated December 12, 2007 (permittee was previous owner) included Permit Condition 1.2, Permit
Condition 1.4, and Permit Condition 1.3 that state a new down gradient monitoring well (MW5) be installed, the existing
upgradient monitoring well (MW1) be abandoned, and updated site maps be submitted to the Division, respectively.A permit
condition in the April 29, 2016 permit was not included that continued the stipulation of abandoning MW1. Staff report
associated with the permitting of April 29, 2016 permit noted the continued concern associated with MW1 and the need for a
new upgradient well. A commercial nursery located across the road from MW1 is believed to be impacting the groundwater
collected from MW1.

Comment: Irrigation Zones 1, 2, and 3 were over grown with creeping vines, broadleaf weeds, and briars.
Zone 4 has not been irrigated on since April 2018 and as a result has become overgrown with
sapplings, broadleaf weeds, and briars. The irrigation equipment in Zone 4 is caged and valve
turned off at the irrigation pump. When irrigating, Zone 4 sprinklers and risers are not
pressurized.
