Facility: Flakt Products Remediation Site NPDES Permit #: NC0085871 Forsyth County Dear Ms. Christopher: Governor DONALD R. VAN DER VAART Secretary S. JAY ZIMMERMAN Director Ron Boone of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR or the Division) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) of the Flakt Products Remediation Site on February 4, 2016. The assistance and cooperation of Glenn Price, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), was greatly appreciated. An inspection checklist is attached for your records and inspection findings are summarized below. General Information The Flakt Products Remediation Site is located at the former Flakt Products manufacturing facility at 200 Lowery Street, Winston Salem, Forsyth County, NC. The approximate coordinates of the treatment building are 36.091743°N,-80.215377°W. It is located on the southwest corner of the facility. The permit authorizes Flakt Products, Inc. to operate this 0.0864 MGD groundwater remediation system, which consists of extraction wells, an iron sequestering feed pump, an equalization tank with feed pump, an air stripper, and a flow monitoring device. The permit authorizes Flakt Products, Inc. to discharge the treated effluent into Brushy Fork via outfall 001. Brushy Fork is currently classified as Class C waters in the Yadkin Pee -Dee River basin. Site Review Mr. Price has done a good job of operating and maintaining the plant. The entire plant was clean and appeared to be well maintained. The right-of-way to the outfall was clear and ready for inspection. There was no effluent because the plant was shut down at the time of the inspection. Mr. Boone noted no discrepancies or permit violations.
