REGAN secrek LINDA CULPEPPER weCrni1tR g$ectton Interim Director August 24, 2018 Mr. Jerry Sparks, President Sparks Oil Company 412 N. Scales Street Reidsville, NC 27320-2909 SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection J.W. Smith/Camp Springs 76 Groundwater Remediation NPDES Permit No. NC0088692 Caswell County Dear Mr. Sparks: On August 15, 2018, Jenny Graznak, of this office, met with Danny Oldham from Pyramid Environmental to perform a Compliance Evaluation Inspection on the J.W. Smith/Camp Springs 76 Groundwater Remediation site. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: an in-office file review and an on-site inspection of the treatment facility. The attached EPA inspection form notes the areas that were evaluated for this inspection. The findings and observations are outlined below: 1. Permit The NPDES permit became effective November 1, 2017 and expires October 31, 2022. The facility had a copy of the current permit available during the inspection.The structures seen during the inspection match those listed in the permit. 2. Self-Monitoring Program A review of the monthly discharge monitoring reports (DMR)for the period January 2017 through June 2018 showed that the facility was in compliance with all permit limits. Regarding the permit monitoring requirements, it was noted that all sampling was performed per the frequencies specified in the permit. Danny Oldham does all sampling for the facility, and the laboratory analysis is performed by Pace Analytical Services, LLC. 3. Records/Reports The visitation log shows visitation times, discharge flow, and system conditions. All records and reports appear to be maintained according to permit requirements. 4. Flow Measurement The permit requires continuous flow monitoring. Flow is measured using a totalizing flow meter.

Operations and Maintenance The facility appeared to be competently operated and maintained. The system was down and did not discharge in June or July 2018 due to a broken air compressor. Someone was on site during the inspection fixing that problem, and Mr. Oldham stated that it would soon be up and running again. 6. Effluent/Receiving Waters The system is permitted to discharge from said treatment works into an unnamed tributary to Country Line Creek in the Roanoke River Basin. The system was not discharging on the day of the inspection. Ms. Graznak did walk down to the outfall with Mr. Oldham during the inspection and did not observe any issues with the effluent pipe or the receiving stream. If you have any questions regarding the inspection or this report, please contact Jenny Graznak or me at (336) 776-9800. Sincerely, V 4 Sherri V. Knight, P.E.
