JAY ZIMMERMAN Director Environurentad Quaility January 31, 2017 CERTIFIED MAIL 7015 0640 0005 8164 0988 RETURN RECEIPT REQUESTED Ms. Jackie Landreth Colfax Furniture of Greensboro, Inc. 2361 Campground Road Greensboro,North Carolina 27406 SUBJECT: Notice of Deficiency (NOD-2017-PC-0009) Colfax Furniture—Wastewater Irrigation System Permit No. WQ0019095 Guilford County Dear Ms. Landreth: On January 5, 2017, staff of the North Carolina Division of Water Resources Winston-Salem Regional Office (DWR) performed a compliance evaluation inspection of the subject wastewater treatment and surface irrigation system. This inspection was conducted by Mr. Jim Gonsiewski. A separate in-office file review of the self-monitoring report records for the period of January 2015 through November 2016 was also conducted. While the majority of the inspection reflects compliance with the permit, the following item was noted in which permit conditions were not met: 1. Permit Condition IVA states that pH and residual chlorine samples are required to be analyzed for during each application event. Neither of these analyses were noted in the self- monitoring reports reviewed for this inspection. Please ensure that these analyses are conducted during all future application events. During the last site visit in January 2015, several significant concerns were noted,mainly concerning the condition of the irrigation system. Our office commends your diligent work in addressing these concerns and maintaining the operation of the system. We also appreciate your prompt attention to the above listed deficiency. Please refer to the enclosed compliance inspection report for additional observations and comments. „�.
