Weaver, Charles From: Graznak, Jenny Sent: Friday, February 25, 2011 9:50 AM To: Weaver, Charles Subject: RE: DRAFT permit renewal for NC0045128 / Sylvan Elementary School Just a small comment: the Supplement to Permit Cover Sheet does not show the change of Cane Creek from C- W to WS-V NSW. This sand filter system must be old as the hills. It's not protected by a fence, which has concerned me before but there never seems to have been an issue with it. The main problem I have with this plant is that they built the UV system inside a cylinder, which is really hard to clean. So, there have been some sporadic fecal violations that rarely if ever happened when using chlorine. Hopefully the school system will get with it and realize that more cleaning is necessary. But other than that, no major issues.
