Inspection Summary:
Staff of the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) conducted a compliance inspection for the referenced residuals permit on
October 2nd, 2020. The MRO would like to thank Mr. Joseph Roy for his time during the inspection.
The residuals storage appeared well maintained at the time of inspection. The following items are noted for informational
purposes:
* The last land application of residuals was in 2016. In August 2020, residuals were dewatered and hauled for proper
disposal by Eagle Dynamic Solutions, a contract company out of Georgia.
* TCLP, Corrosivity, Ignitability and Reactivity analyses are required within the current permit cycle (by 2025). Total
residuals analyses are required annually when distribution or land application is conducted. Mr. Roy stated that Eagle
Dynamic Solutions conducted some analyses for their hauling/disposal purposes, but the analytical data was not part of
their service agreement.
It is recommended all required analyses be conducted prior to the next distribution event, since the last residuals data the
MRO has on record is from 2016.
* This permit is currently in the renewal process with our Non -Discharge Permitting Staff at our Central Office in Raleigh.
Questions specific to the permit renewal may be addressed to [e-mail], the permit writer assigned to this
project.
Please contact Maria Schutte by phone [phone]) or email [e-mail], should you have questions
related to the inspection report.

Comment: This is a WTP Alum product, many questions are not applicable. There was no active land
application, distribution or hauling at the time of inspection. The only new records for review
since the 2018 inspection, was the hauling event by Eagle Dynamic Solutions from Georgia.
