Corey Basinger Regional Supervisor Water Quality Regional Operations Section Division of Water Resources, NCDEQ Mooresville Regional Office 610 East Center Avenue, Suite 301 Mooresville, NC 28115 Re: Willowbrook WWTP, Mecklenburg County Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report NPDES Permit No. NC0073539 Dear Mr. Basinger: www.aquanorthcarolina.com M E'VI L E=L 10NAL Aqua North Carolina, Inc. (Aqua) offers the following response to the items outlined in the above - referenced Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report which was issued for the inspection conducted on September 25, 2019: Flow Measurement Effluent Section The V-notch weir angle was measured at approximately 83 degrees during the inspection, however, the flow meter was programmed to measure flows for a 90-degree v-notch weir. The Permittee must contract a third party experienced in flow meter calibrations to verify the V-notch weir angle and the calibration procedures. Agua's Response: The flow meter was calibrated by Mr. Thurman Horne of Horizon Engineering in 2017. Attached is the inspection report indicating the weir to be a 90-degree v-notch. Additionally, Clearwater, Inc. installed the new flow meter and 2017 and performed a calibration at that time. A copy of their report is attached as well. The weir in both calibrations was deemed to be a 90-degree V-notch. No changes have been made since the third party calibrations were completed. Bar Screens The old coarse bar screen had partially separated fi-om the WWTP structure and was being held in place with a rope. The old bar screen should be removed as soon as possible to prevent this structure from breaking off into the aeration basin and potentially damaging the aeration system. Agua's Response: The old bar screen will be removed no later than November 15, 2019. Please note a new bar screen had been installed prior to the inspection.
