Inspection Date: 04/01/2022 Inspection Type : Complaint
Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
On April 1, 2022, Sarah Toppen and Randy Sipe with NCDWR went to Carolina Village due to a complaint Noah Deckard
came on-slte to meet with us and stated that he was the BORC for Carolina Village.
The facility has 4 duplex pump stations, see below.
Pump Station A has 2-bypass pumps, and the float was tied to the pump.
Pump Station B had one pump clogged with grease and debris. Maintenance was on -site to fix the pump.
Pump Station C had one bypass pump working. The audio alarm worked but the visual alarm was not working.
Pump Station D has one-5HP pump that works. This station Is where all flow goes before it is sent to the plant. Neither the
audio nor visual alarms worked.
Only one of the four pump stations were locked. Pump stations need to be locked so that no entry can be made except for
the contract company.
The pump station signs only have "In case of emergency call 435-2663" and a couple had a sign that had 'Warning Pump
Station D Case of emergency please call 252-435-2663 or 252-435-7551 ".
The sign should include the owners name, pump station identifier, address, instructions for notification, and a 24-hour
emergency contact number.
There is an area surrounding a sewer manhole located along David Drive that has sunk below the road surface. The condltloi
of this manhole and associated piping must be inspected to verify Its structural integrity. This was in the 1/24/2018
Inspection report and this Is still an Issue.
Near the intersection of David Drive and Planet Court there appears to be a water leak in the road. We showed Noah and the
maintenance staff the area.
Our office stopped at 186 Ivon Drive due to a complaint that the area smelled like sewage. During our stop we saw what
appears to be sewage under the home and next to the front covered porch.
The facility is in non-compliance. NOV-2022-PC-0238 has been issued due to the problems listed above. The Items need to
be repaired. A relnspection will be conducted In the next 30 days.
