Inspection Summary:
FACILITY SITE REVIEW:
The construction of the industrial facility and start-up of the production line were accomplished in January 2012. The
industrial and domestic wastewater are conveyed (via pump stations) and treated through separate collection/treatment
systems. All domestic wastewater is pumped to 0.025 MGD wastewater treatment facility for final treatment/disposal
under the authority of NPDES Permit No. NC0077615. The industrial wastewater is treated/disposed under the authority
of Permit No. AW6490048 (Animal Waste Operation). No evidence of overflows were observed during the inspection and
both pump stations were operational and well maintained.
GREASE EDUCATION:
This Office recommends the posting and/or distribution of grease education materials for the employees to prevent the
disposal of grease, cooking oils, etc. into the wastewater collection system and treatment facility.
