The assistance provided by Mr. Steve Gallaher and Mr. Dennis King during the inspection was greatly appreciated. A copy of the inspection report is attached for your records and inspection findings are summarized below. Site/System Review 2. The following system components were inspected (items bolded need attention): a. During the inspection, we inspected five (5) pump stations. The dialer telemetry system only called out at one of the wet well stations, not at the other four (4). Steve said that he thought that it was the new phone company and indicated he is switching back to the prior company. Pump stations 8030 and 7910 have root intrusion and need to be rehabbed. At pump station 18310, the audible alarm was not working. 3. As you are aware, owners of permitted collection systems must comply with their permit and all rules listed under NC Administrative Code 15A NCAC 02T .0400, et seq.
