RE: Compliance Inspection Report
Permit #NC0089656
Dimensional Place
1515 South Tryon Street, Charlotte 28203
Mecklenburg County
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection report for the inspection conducted at the
subject site on December 20, 2018, by MRO staff. The MRO would like to extend a thank you to Gregg
Jordan and Kevin Watts of Holder, and to Chris Orrell and Joe Nestor of ECS Limited for their combined
assistance during the site visit.
During the site visit, water was observed to be present on a large portion of the basement floor. MRO
staff was able to confirm the presence of the water to be the result of a recent sump pump failure. Due
to the sump pump failure, the sump alarm light was observed to be on. However, the electrical
connection to the sum pump and the sump alarm was unclear and had to be explained to MRO
personnel by Holder staff to assure that the pump connection was traceable. Currently, Holder staff
need to perform daily inspections of the sump pump to ensure the pump is correctly functioning.
The building control room was not able to be viewed during the site visit, as it is not currently completed
to a status where treatment system telemetry would be able to be viewed at the time of the site visit.
During the site visit, Holder staff made the suggestion of conducting a Skype conference call near the
end of January 2019, to be able to review the building control room. During this Skype call, the MRO
should be able to view how the telemetry system will display the treatment system alarm in the building
control room.

In general, the treatment system was as described in the permit modification. A compliance
determination will not be issued until the final pump and alarm system are able to be observed by the
MRO.
eDMR reports are required to be summited on a monthly basis for this facility. The eDMR records for the
months of October and November, 2018, have not been received by MRO through NCDEQ's Central
Office Processing Office. However, the November eDMR was received via email form ECS Limited staff.
Please submit the past due eDMR records immediately to avoid violations form being issued by the
Division.
Should you have any questions, please contact Edward Watson at (704) 663-1699 ext. 2198, or by email

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
On December 20, 2018, MRO staff conducted a compliance inspection of the Dimensional Place
de -watering and treatment system under permit NC0089656.
The system has been installed as described in the modified permit. A review of the treatment system
indicates midpoint sampling is available to the system operator as a method of internal monitoring of
breakthrough of the primary carbon vessel. However, the permit only requires effluent data to be
submitted. Please submit the October 2018 electronic Discharge Monitoring Report(eDMR) to the
Central Proccessing Center in Raleigh. eDMR reports are expected to be submitted within 30 days
from the end of the previous month. A copy of the October eDMR was submitted via email to MRO
staff.
During the site visit, mention was made that an Operations and Maintenance(O&M) log is required to
be kept for routine system maintenance, flow measurements and waste carbon manifests. The
permittee may use whatever means they chose to record the O&M information. However, the O&M log
is required to be recorded on a minimum of monthly periods. However, the MRO suggests that weekly
O&M information be recorded for the first year of operations for the purpose of system calibration.
Laboratory analytical results should be kept as a separate record from the O&M log.
No calibration sticker was present on the effluent flow meter. As this is a newly purchased meter,
please provide a copy of the meter purchase order which can be used as verification that the meter
calibration has been within a calendar year. Effluent meter calibration should also be maintained in the
O&M logs book as this information is reviewed during site inspections.
The carbon vessel has a portal to be used for the extraction of spent carbon from the vessel. MRO
staff indicated that all waste carbon needs to be tracked via a waste manifest.
The outfall from the treatment system was reviewed during the site visit. No foam, color, soilds or odor
was observed during the site visit.

Comment: A large area of the basement floor was covered with water due to a recent sump pump
failure. The sump alarm light was on durinq the site visit. A replacement sump had been
installed to allow water to be drawn down into the sump well.
Permanant and back-uD sum Dumps are Dlanned to be installed. The new Dumps will be
directly connected to the main building control center. However, MRO staff was not able to
review the building control area and the connection to the control room has not yet been
established. MRO staff has requested to be notified when the connection has been
comDleted and to have Holder send DhotoaraDhs of the new DumDs connected to the
system.
A skvae meetina is to be arranaed in January 2019 to be able to view how the system
