NCO021946 I11 121 19/10/11 117 18 JCJ Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) Tim Heim of the Asheville Regional Office performed a routine Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the facility on October 11, 2019. Gray Wike (ORC) assisted with the inspection. The facility was generally well maintained and operated at the time of the inspection. The following items were noted during the inspection: The belt -press was temporarily down for maintenance, but repair parts have been ordered and the digesters have adequate storage to maintain plant operations until the repair is complete. The town and ORC should continue to communicate with and be involved in extension of sewer and acceptance of waste from the Gaia Herbs facility, including how this could potentially impact plant operations. Future installation of an EQ basin upstream of the SBRs would allow more optimal handing of rain events and potential industrial waste streams. This should be pursued in parallel with I&I reduction efforts. Clear and maintain access to the outfall to perform regular inspections of this area.
