Box 969 Laurinburg, NC 28353 Re: Excess Flow at LOFGlass4WWL Dear Ms. Stanton: OFFICE OF SUPERINTENDENT WATER & WASTEWATER PLANT On March 20, 2002 ,theCity of Laurind the Milltronics flow meter calibrated at the wastewater treatment plant by Jun Haven of Jeri HavenIic. The previous calibration of the meter in 2001X4asdone witil thetmeasure nents-for a 30°V-Notch�weir when the actual size of the weir is a 60°V Notch weir To;venfy the'size of the weir we consulted with the county engineer and he veinf ed the findings of Mr. Haven. 'Therefore we can assume that the flow being measuredPwas` approximately halfof the actual.flow. The plant is currently rated, for thirty (;030) thousand .gallons per day and.*ith:the corrected calibration the treatment plantfflow is in excess of the permit;limit onimost. days. This excess flow puts the plant in violation of thel NPDES "permit. (Average lV onthly Flows) Ms. Belinda Hinson of the regional office made the suggestion that you could have an engineer evaluate the plane's capacity to determine if it could be increased and if so we could request an amendment to the NPDES permit We suggest that you inspect your discharges into the treatment plant to determine ;that of l`y the domestic sewage is going to the plant. We assume that as an alternative to expanding the wastewater plant your facility could discharge your domestic waste to the Laurinburg-Maxton Airport's waste treatment plant collection system. From our previous conversations we understand you have already contacted Ms. Kitty Kramer of the regional office and you are working with her to address this situation. Please advise us as to what measures are being taken to handle the additional flow. The treatment plant will be in violation of its NPDES permit for every day there is a flow over thirty thousand gallons per day, therefore you need to do what is necessary to correct this violation as soon, as possible as this could possibly result in additional parameters exceeding permit limits. 603 LAUCHWOOD DRIVE • P.O.
