Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report
NPDES Permit No. NC0073539
Dear Mr. Basinger:

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.
