Inspection and Permit Renewal
Ardagh Glass
Wastewater Recycle System
Vance County
11 �
On December 20, 2019, the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) inspected the subject Wastewater
Recycle System in Vance County. I wish to thank Randy Bishop and Heather Harper for their help during
the inspection.
The facility has 2 dirty water recovery pits (A and B) with 2 pumps each that run as primary and secondary.
Spare pumps are on hand. There are alarms in these pits. If one of them fails, water builds up in the
basement, but does not exit the building. One of the pits rarely runs at all.
The third pit (E) has 3 pumps. This pit is near an exterior door. This pump pit failed and water left the
building and entered a storm drain in 2017. There are staff in the control room at all times. When the
pumps failed in 2017, there were new staff on hand who missed the signs of the problem. Training has
been implemented. An inflatable plug was built for the storm drain so it can be sealed if the dirty water pit
begins to discharge. Pumps and floats are checked weekly.
The water reservoir (cutlet quench) and the skimmer appeared to be in working order during the inspection.
The facility has about 1000 gallons of oil removed by the skimmer hauled off by Safety Kleen every year.
The containment pit around the cutlet quench has oil staining on the side indicating that it overflows with
some frequency. A pump with a float switch pump that water back to the system when it overflows. Facility
staff reported that rainwater enters the building and the closed loop system, periodically overwhelming it
with water. In addition, there are cameras installed that will show when water is building up.

Heritage or Shamrock does yearly cleaning of the system. It will be shut down during the holidays to
replace the steel pipes with schedule 80 PVC.
On the day of the inspection, the facility appeared to be in compliance with permit conditions.
