We apologize for the belatedness of this letter and the attached reports and trust that both plants still maintain the same level of compliance that Mr. Boone observed at the time of the inspections. The assistance and cooperation of Jon Southern, Keith Jones, and Bonnie McKee, during these inspections, was greatly appreciated. Inspection checklists are attached for your records and inspection findings are summarized below Archie Elledge Wastewater Treatment Plant, NPDES Permit NCO037834 General Information The WWTP is located at 2801 Griffith Road in Winston Salem, Forsyth County, NC. The permit authorizes the City to operate this 30 MGD WWTP, which consists of bar screens, grit basins, primary clarifiers, aeration basins, final clarifiers, sodium hypochlorite and bisulfite feed for disinfection and dechlorination, lime/magnesium hydroxide blend and caustic feed for alkalinity control, centrifuges with screw conveyors, sludge digestion, polymer and iron salt feed, odor control systems, a sludge drying facility, waste sludge lagoons and instrumented flow measurement. The permit authorizes the City to discharge treated effluent from the plant via outfall 001 into Salem Creek, this section of which is currently classified as Class C waters in the Yadkin Pee -Dee river basin. Site Review As was also the case during the previous inspection, Mr. Southern and his crew continue to do an outstanding job operating and maintaining the plant Mr, Boone noted no issues or discrepancies. `"'"ialc�tl�lru CDmpares'--, State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality 450 W Hanes Mill Road, Suite 300, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27105 Phone 336-776-98001 FAX 336-776-9797 Documentation Review All documentation was reviewed.
