Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection & Notice of Violation
NOV Tracking #: NOV-2023-PC-0065
Zooland Family Campground WWTP
NPDES Permit: NCO089052
Randolph County
Dear Ms. Ullrich:
Jesse Barnes, of the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR), Winston-Salem
Regional Office (WSRO), conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the Zooland Family
Campground WWTP on January 26, 2023. Rojeana McDonald, Operator in Responsible Charge
(ORC), was present for the inspection. The facility was found to be not compliant with the
subject permit. The determined permit violations and items of concern are listed below.
Inspection findings are detailed in the attached Water Compliance Inspection Report.
PERMIT VIOLATIONS
1. From January 16, 2023 through January 26, 2023, the required reported data for the
parameters of pH, temperature, and dissolved oxygen from the effluent discharge at
outfall 001, as well as upstream and downstream locations, were not analyzed by a
certified laboratory and are therefore invalid. This is in violation of the subject permit Part
I, Section A. (1.) and Part II, Section DA.
ITEMS OF CONCERN
1. From December 28, 2022 through January 7, 2023, pump and haul activities occurred with
neither a DWR-issued permit nor prior approval from the division.
2. Only one UV light disinfection system was in working order during the inspection. The
supplement to the subject permit cover sheet states that the facility components include
two ultraviolet light disinfection systems.
3. There were no records available on site during the inspection regarding effluent flow meter
calibrations, as required by the subject permit Part II, Sections D.3 and D.6.
