Ashe County
Dear Mr. Call:
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
A Pretreatment Compliance Inspection (PCI) was performed on October 8, 2015 by George Smith of this
office. Mr. Charles Call, Water Resources Director was present for the inspection. The purpose of this
inspection was to determine the effectiveness of the Town's pretreatment program by reviewing the files,
which include, POTW plant performance, industry monitoring data, and adherence to the enforcement
response plan (ERP).
Background
This is a 0.5 MGD permitted facility. The Town has one (1) significant industrial user.
POTW Interview
There was a monthly average violation for BOD during May 2015. The reason for the violation is unknown.

The Headworks Analysis (HWA) was approved June 20, 2014. The next HWA is due April 1, 2019.
The Industrial Waste Survey (IWS) was approved June 23, 2014. The next IWS is due April 1, 2019.
The Sewer Use Ordinance (SUO) was last approved on January 10, 2013

STMP File Review
The Short Term Monitoring Plan (STMP) is being conducted at the proper locations and frequencies. The
proper detection levels are used and all data is maintained in a spreadsheet. There are no POTW
modifications that require a change in the STMP.
Industrial User Permit (IUP) File Review
The file review for Ashe Cheese (#0003) showed that the monitoring data was kept well organized.
Action Items
The next Pretreatment Annual Report (PAR) is due on March 1, 2016.
Mr. Call implements the pretreatment program in an excellent manner. If you have any questions please
contact George Smith or me at [phone].
