Dear Mr. Mole,
Staff of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR), Water Quality Regional Operations Section
inspected the subject wastewater irrigation system on July 2, 2019. 1 wish to thank William Baker for his
help during the inspection. The purpose of the visit was to conduct a compliance inspection of the system.
All lift stations had new pumps, controls, power supplies and telemetry installed. The lift station
alarms, controls, floats and alternating relays are checked weekly. The pumps, alarms, controls, floats were
in working order. The lift station by the bathhouse was raised to prevent it from flooding.
There is a small float operated pump station with an alarm for the building at the WWTP.
The facultative wastewater Iagoon had a freeboard of 3.0 ft and the storage Iagoon had a freeboard
of 3.2 ft. The berm mowed and is surrounded by a locked fence. Sludge was last removed from the lagoon
in February, 2014. The aerator was in working order.
A tank of liquid chlorine and pump are kept in the building on site. The chlorine is injected into
fresh water which runs through a pipe into the wet well. The pumps, controls, floats and valves were in
working order.
The effluent meter was in working order. A flow rate/pressure indicator is also present and can be
used to detect clogs or breaks in the sprayfield.
The sprayfield was operated and was in good working order. A few sprayheads were clogged. A
stand of tall loblolly pines is growing in the sprayfield. Paths are cleared to allow viewing of every
sprayhead. The sprayfield is surrounded by a fence with a Iocked gates and warning signs. The system is
operated manually. The ORC reports that the sprayheads clog frequently and that line breaks also occur
periodically. The wastewater carries no odor.

The sprayEields were operated throughout the winter due to excessive rainfall.
All operation and maintenance records, NDMRs, NDARs, soil tests, water quality tests are
complete and on time. The last soil test was August 201 S. Treatment efficiency is good, duckweed is noit
much of a problem and there is no odor at the wwtp or the sprayfields.
On the day of the inspection the facility appeared to be operating in compliance with permit
conditions.
