Continuous turbidity measurements are part of the requirements for the system to achieve
reclaimed water effluent standards, which, in turn, allow for reduced setbacks as noted in your
permit under Condition II Performance Standards, Item 11, Footnote 3. The frequency of
monitoring is addressed in Condition IV Monitoring and Reporting Requirements, Item 4 and
Attachment A. Attachment A specifically notes that turbidity measurements shall be
continuous, and they are to be measured via a recorder. The approved system plan was to
install a recording instrument to collect turbidity data, however, it appears that a recording
device was never installed. To resolve this matter, please install a recorder to collect
continuous turbidity data and report that data as a daily value on the NDMR. You should take
this action within 30 days and advise MRO staff when this is complete or provide a timeline
to complete this task.
Remedial actions, if not already implemented, should be taken to correct any noted problems.
The Division of Water Resources may pursue enforcement actions for this and any additional
violations. If the violations are of a continuing nature, not related to operation and/or
maintenance problems, and you anticipate remedial construction activities, then you may wish
to consider applying for a Special Order by Consent (SOC).
If you have any questions concerning this matter or to apply for an SOC, please contact Edward
Watson of the Mooresville Regional Office at 704 663 1699 or via [e-mail].
Sincerely,
EA
