Drawer 192 Boone,NC 28607 JUN 0 4 2015 Water Quali Permitting Section SUBJECT: Pretreatment Compliance Inspection Town of Boone NPDES #NC0020621 Watauga County Dear Ms. Reece: On May 28, 2015 George Smith performed a Pretreatment Compliance Inspection(PCI). Ms. Karen Reece was present during the inspection. The purpose of this inspection was to determine the effectiveness of the pretreatment program, which included: reviewing the files, POTW plant performance, sampling and compliance judgment program, and adherence to the enforcement response plan (ERP), detailed files review. Background The Town has one (1) significant industrial user, and is a 4.82 MGD permitted facility. Pretreatment Program Elements Review The Headworks Analysis (HWA) was approved on March 1, 2011. The next HWA is due October 1, 2015. The Industrial Waste Survey (IWS) was approved May 1, 2014. The next IWS is due April 1, 2019. The Sewer Use Ordinance (SUO) was last approved on November 7, 2012 The Enforcement Response Plan (ERP) was last approved on May 13, 2013. Long Term Monitoring Plan (LTMP) was last approved on September 6, 2013. Industrial User Permit(IUP) File Review A review of the pretreatment file for Hospitality Mints (#0003) shows the records are in excellent order, and that the monitoring data was correctly judged for compliance. The records show the Town is implementing the pretreatment through control of a permit. 450 W.Hanes Mill Road,Winston-Salem,North Carolina 27105 PhrnP�3F�ZZ_fi_981_l!_L Inn rot'J_�,vww.ncdenr.aov Overall Summary and Comments As discussed during the inspection Ms. Reece is concerned about the detection of carbon monoxide at the Hospitality Mints (#0003) pump station. We discussed the possibility of using a detector from another source, such as,the Fire Department. The pretreatment program is proactive in protecting the POTW from adverse impacts and should be commended for a well-organized pretreatment program. The handling of the cholera discharge incident at Appalachian State is considered to be done in an outstanding manner. The inspection is considered satisfactory. Ms. Karen Reece is operating the pretreatment program in an outstanding manner. If you have any questions please contact George Smith or me at(336) 776-9800. Sincerely, W.
