Box 10 ® g 2018 Wilson,NC 27894-0010 Water Resources Permitting Section Subject: Pretreatment Audit City of Wilson NPDES Permit No. NC0023906 _ Wilson County Dear Mr. Pridgen: On September 21, Cheng Zhang of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a Pretreatment Audit of City of Wilson's pretreatment program. The assistance given by Ms. Laura Pruitt, the pretreatment coordinator,was greatly appreciated. The audit report is attached. Findings during the inspection were as follows: 1. The City has eleven Significant Industrial Users (SIUs), nine of which are also Categorical Industrial Users (CIUs). It was noted that Linamar Forging, Inc was in Significant Non- Compliance (SNC) for oil & grease limit violations for second semi-annual period of 2017. 2. The pretreatment audit file review included Fresenius Kabi (Peiniit No. 2009-013), Linamar Forging, Inc (Permit No. 8416), and Ardaugh Glass, Inc (Permit No. 8409). The files needed for review were available for inspection, contained all the required elements and were in excellent condition. 3. POTW and SIUs completed monitoring as required by the Industrial User Pretreatment Permits (NPs) during the most recent semi-annual period. All SIUs were in compliance. 4. During the audit, Ms. Pruitt inspected one of the SIUs, Fresenius Kabi. The inspection was very thorough. It was evident that Ms. Pruitt has excellent relationship with the industry representative,broad knowledge of pretreatment, great attention to details, and proactive attitude to solve potential problems together with industrial users. 5. A review of the files containing the pretreatment program elements was conducted. These files were very well organized. It was noted that Headworks Analysis and Long Term Monitoring Plan (LTMP) were updated and approved recently in 2018.
