Tracking Number: NOV-2022-PC-0655
Town of Stoneville Wastewater Collection System
NPDES Permit No. WQCS00251
Rockingham County
Dear Mr. Webster:
On September 22, 2022, Gary Hudson of the North Carolina Division of Water Resources,
Winston-Salem Regional Office, met with Melinda Ward, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC),
to conduct a Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI) of the Town of Stoneville's Wastewater
Collection System. The attached EPA inspection form details the areas that were evaluated during
this inspection. The following violations were noted:
• A list of high -priority lines and an inspection log was not available during the inspection.
High -priority lines must be inspected every six months and a log of the inspections must
be kept documenting the dates of the inspections.
• A right-of-way maintenance and inspection log was not available during the inspection.
• No gravity main cleaning records were available during the inspection. Please be aware
that at least 10% of the collection system gravity mains must be cleaned annually. The
Town of Stoneville has 15.62 miles of wastewater gravity mains (82,474 linear feet). So,
10% would be 8,248 linear feet.
