Review of compliance data indicated that facility appears to be well operated. It has met
all the limits.
Per Yadkin Basin Plan -Recommended TMDLs and Management Strategies for Oxygen
consuming wastes for the Abbotts Creek watershed- No new dischargers of oxygen
consuming waste. Thomasville and Lexington should serve, as regional WWTPs for
future wastewater needs.
An ambient station on Abbotts Creek at State Road 1243 at Lexington has recorded fecal
coliform levels with geometric mean exceeding 200 colonies/100ml. A value of
659/100ml was detected at this station. It is believed the fecal problems are primarily of
a nonpoint source origin. Exceedances occur where there are no significant upstream
dischargers and most facilities are in compliance with permit limits.
Recommend renewal of the permit with all existing limits. All parameters and
monitoring frequencies remain the same, with the exception of the monitoring
frequency for TN and TP being increased to monthly from quarterly.
