Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative -and -checklists as necessary) • There are some maintenance repairs currently'being performed at this facility. The bar screen'and equalization basin have been taken.offline to repaint and repair the walls of the basin. The aeration basin and diffusers appeared to be operating properly. The'clarifiers had some solids. floating but not excessive. The chlorine contact chamber, according to laboratory results, does not appear to be properly disinfecting. This facility has had an ongoing issue with fecal coliform violations. A suggestion has been made to reconfigure the chlorine contact chamber where all of the flow' would be 'required to flow through the chlorine canister. . Currently, -only 1/3 of the flow flows directly through the canister, but it then mixes with the other flow in the contact chamber. It may appear that there is not enough residual chlorine in the chamber for proper disinfection. Sludge is removed from the aerobic digester and disposed of at the Anson County WWTP. All records were being properly maintained. All data reviewed appeared to be correct'as reported on the DMR's_ Permit: NC0081825 Owner - Facility: Town of Ansonville - Ansonville WWTP Inspection Date: 10/26/04 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation permit Yes No NA NF (If the present permit expires in 6 months or less).
