Your cooperation during the site visit was much appreciated. Please advise the staff involved with this NPDES Permit by forwarding a copy of the enclosed report. As was discussed on site please have ORC logs available for inspection during future inspections. Additionally, PH calibration must be done prior to sampling, and calibration logs need reflect that. Calibration logs for 11/19/2015 and 2/27/2015 indicate PH meter was calibrated after sampling. The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions concerning this report, please do not hesitate to contact Ori Tuvia at (704) 235-2190, or at ori.tuvia@ncdenr.gov.
