water that is eventually discharged. The Division shall consider all effluent TRC values reported
below 50 µg/ L to be in compliance with the permit. However, the Permittee shall continue to
record and submit all values reported by a North Carolina certified laboratory (including field
certified), even if these values fall below 50 µg/ L.

Salem_ Quarters Wastewater Treatment Plant, NCO083933
General Information
The WWTP is located inside the Salem Quarters subdivision in Winston Salem, Forsyth County, NC, at
approximately coordinates 36.191667N, 80.109722W. The permit authorizes Aqua North Carolina Inc. to operate this
0.06 MGD WWTP, which consists of a bar screen, a flow splitter box, an equalization basin, dual aeration basins, dual

Mr. Turner has done a good job operating and maintaining the plant. The only problem noted during the
inspection was the presence of excessive sludge solids in the weir troughs on the effluent side of the clarifiers. It is
unknown at this point what is causing the solids to accumulate in the troughs but Mr. Turner is preventing the solids
from being discharged and plans to bring the effluent filters on line to filter out the solids. It is unknown when the filters
will be brought on line. Mr. Boone noted no discrepancies.
Documentation Review
All documentation was reviewed. No discrepancixes were found. Mr. Turner has done an excellent job of
documenting the operation and maintenance of the plant as required by the permit. This includes operations and
visitation logs, discharge monitoring reports and laboratory and field laboratory records, chains of custody, etc.

Mr. Boone noted no concerns during any of these inspections. If you have any questions regarding the
inspections or this letter, please call him or me at [phone]. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.

Dear Mr. Roberts:
Ron Boone of the Winston Salem Regional Office (WSRO) of the North Carolina Division of Water
Resources (DWR or the Division) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the Mikkola Downs Wastewater
Treatment Plant on November 19, 2013. The assistance and cooperation of Sam Pegram, Operator in Responsible
Charge (ORC), and Neil McDuffie, temporary operator, was greatly appreciated. An inspection report is attached for
your records and the inspection findings are summarized below.
The Mikkola Downs Wastewater Treatment Plant is located near 2777 Stable Hill Trail in Kernersville,
Forsyth County, North Carolina, at approximate coordinates 36.182120° West, 80.053833' North. Aqua NC is

currently classified as Class C waters and is located in the Roanoke River Basin.
SITE REVIEW
Mr. Boone reviewed the entire plant with Mr. Pegram. The only discrepancy noted was that the flow meter
was for some reason registering zeroes for flow on several days in September and October, 2013, for no apparent
reason. A review of recent DMRs over the past 12 months did not show the phenomenon occurring at any other
times. Mr. Pegram was going to contact the contractor that calibrates the meter and consult with him to find the
potential problem.
Other than that, there were no other problems noted. The plant appears to be operated and maintained
very well.

DOCUMENTATION REVIEW
Mr. Pegram had all required documentation for the inspection and everything was complete and current.
The only discrepancy that Mr. Boone noted was that the flows for September and October had been mistakenly
entered on the wrong day by Mr. McDuffie on the field log. Mr. McDuffie corrected the mistake when transferring the
data to the discharge monitoring report but no notes were made in the field book to make anyone aware of the
mistake. Mr. McDuffie agreed to enter notes in the field log to acknowledge the mistake. Other than that Mr. Pegram
and Mr. McDuffie have done an excellent job of documenting the operation and maintenance of the plant.
Please keep up the excellent work in ensuring the Mikkola Downs Wastewater Treatment Plant is properly
operated and maintained and meeting all the terms and conditions of the permit. Please remember that violations of
the permit are subject to enforcement actions not to exceed $25,000 per day, per violation.
If you have any questions regarding the inspection or this letter, please do not hesitate to contact Mr.
Boone or me at 336-771-5000. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
