RECAN p. ; 5eererary LINDA CULPEPPER NORTH CAROLINA D+mrtor Environmental Quality October 10, 2019 James N Johnston City of Brevard 95 W Main St Brevard, NC 28712 SUBJECT: Compliance Inspection Report Cathey's Creek WTP NPDES WW Permit No. NCO044784 Transylvania County Dear Permittee: The North Carolina Division of Water Resources conducted an inspection of the Cathey's Creek WTP on 10/09/2019. This inspection was conducted to verify that the facility is operating in compliance with the conditions and limitations specified in NPDES WW Permit No. NC0044784. The findings and comments noted during this inspection are provided in the enclosed copy of the inspection report entitled "Compliance Inspection Report". There were no significant issues or findings noted during the inspection and therefore, a response to this inspection report is not required; however, the following item was noted during the inspection: The last permit update (2015) required installation of an automated flow meter, this was due to a misunderstanding of DMR data (DMRs were indicating approximately twice the actual discharge) This error has been corrected and the ORC has requested that the facility return to the manual method of estimating discharge (clarifier depth change during dewatering). If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Timothy Heim with the Water Quality Regional Operations Section in the Asheville Regional Office at 828-296-4500 or via email at tim.heim@ncdenr.gov.
