Dear Mr. Collie: Permitting Section
On May 2, 2018, Jenny Graznak of this office met with Greg Purcell to perform a Compliance Evaluation
Inspection on the filter backwash wastewater at the Yanceyville Water Treatment Plant. The inspection
findings are detailed below and an inspection checklist is attached.
1.Permit
The current permit became effective October 1, 2017 and will expire September 30, 2022. A copy of the
permit monitoring requirements was available during the inspection. The operator should have a complete•
copy of the permit.
2.Self-Monitoring Program
The monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) were reviewed for the period January 2017 through
February 2018 for this inspection. The facility was found to be compliant with permit limits during this
time. It was also noted that sampling seems to have been performed per the frequencies specified in the
permit. A comparison of the January 2018 DMR with the laboratory data revealed that the data from the
samples collected on January 10 was incorrectly transcribed into the January 5 row.Mr.Purcell stated that
he would fix the eDMR and send in a new copy.
Meritech picks up the samples for TSS, Turbidity, metals, and toxicity, and chain of custody forms were
available for review. Mr. Purcell measures TRC, pH, and temperature under Field Parameter Certification
#5700 at the facility.
3.Flow Measurement
Effluent flow is estimated based on filter backwash volumes. Mr. Purcell stated that a flow meter will be
installed for the filter backwash discharge within the next year.
4. Sludge Handling and Disposal
The Town of Yanceyville has a land application permit for the removal of sludge from the plant's two
lagoons. Sludge records were not available during the inspection. Mr. Purcell believes that the lagoons
were dredged in 2017.

of the summer.
6.Facility Site Review
The facility operates a conventional water treatment system with a discharge of filter backwash wastewater
through a dual settlement lagoon system. This facility currently has a design flowrate of 1.0 MGD and a
maximum,monthly average wastewater discharge of 0.0284 MGD.
7.Effluent/Receiving Waters
The system discharges into Fullers Creek, a waterbody currently classified WS-III; CA waters in the
Roanoke River Basin. The effluent was clear on the day of inspection.
