Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Town of Mooresville, Iredell County
Permit WQ0036723
Distribution of Residual Solids (503)
Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) staff performed a compliance evaluation inspection on
November 16, 2020, for permit WQ0036273. The MRO would like to extend its appreciation to Mr.
Jamie Levis and his staff for their time and assistance during this site visit. Enclosed, you will find the
report for the compliance inspection.
There was a discussion during the site visit regarding increasing the volume of material that is
allowed to be distributed within the permit to avoid sending material to the landfill. Currently, the
facility is permitted for the distribution of 900 Dry Tons per year. A permit modification is necessary
to increase the distribution volume associated with the permit.
Please see the following link for the permit modification form.

feel free to contact me at 704-235-2198 or by email at edward.watson@ncdenr.gov.

Inspection Summary:
On November 16, 2020, MRO staff conducted a compliance inspection for permit WQ0036723. This is a Class A
Distribution permit. During the site visit, MRO was informed that the Belt Dryer was taken offline on the 13th of November for
routine servicing. A feeder mechanism needed to be sent off -site for machining of a feed screw. MRO staff indicated that if
the Belt Dryer is offline for more than 48 hours, the regional office is to be notified. MRO staff requested that an email
notification be sent when the Belt Dryer returns to service.
The MRO has received notification from the permittee that the Belt Dryer has returned to service as of 11-23-2020.
A review of the O&M records and Oven Temperature logs was performed during the site visit. All records appear to be

Comment: This is a distribution permit. There are no dedicated LA fields. Hauling records will be
reviewed
during the AR review. The permittee has retained several new customers that desire to receive
the class "A" product being produced. The permittee
is currently limited to the volume of
residuals they are allowed to distribute. After this total distribution amount has been achieved,
the permittee has to send the residuals to a
private landfill at a cost to the permittee. It was
suggested that the permittee apply for a modification to increase the volume of residuals they arE
allowed to distribute under this permit. The current permit expires in September of 2023.
