The purpose of the evaluation was to verify that the facility is operating in compliance with the conditions and limitations specified in Permit WQ0002571. Allen Rhue, ORC, was present during the inspection. This facultative lagoon system was originally issued in 1985 and is still covered under rules which contained no setback requirements. It is permitted for 13,200 gpd but only averages a little less than half that flow. Influent flow is calculated by water meter readings for the mobile home park. The BORC is still listed as David Antinon for this facility. The ORC indicated that the BORC is Brandon Williams. An Operator Designation Form will need to be submitted to the Raleigh address indicated on the form as well as a copy to the Wilmington Regional Office as soon as possible. Recently, the disposal site was cleared of trees that were damaged by hurricanes. This removal activity has caused uneven, bare spots throughout the field. A vegetative cover will need to be maintained on the irrigation site to allow even effluent distribution (Permit section 111.4) Acreage of the disposal site is not fully utilized because of insufficient pressure to the spray heads. This issue has caused ponding in some areas and was noted in a Notice of Deficiency issued for the last inspection on 7-25-2018. Please note that the permit requires the irrigation equipment be tested and calibrated once per permit cycle (Permit section 111.7). Runoff was observed from spray heads to a drainage ditch, cut over time, on the north side of the disposal site and continues on a downward slope off the property. Irrigation pipes are exposed in the ditch. There is a drainage ditch between the west edge of the disposal site and the lagoons, that also has pipe exposure and possible runoff. Samples were taken by the inspectors during the inspection at each ditch for fecal coliform and nutrients. The north back three rows and the west outer row of spray heads were shut off during the inspection so no more runoff would occur until the issue can be addressed. Freeboard in the lagoons was at approximately 2 feet which is a concern since the above mentioned spray heads have been shut off. There was no documentation found for maintenance of the irrigation equipment or disposal site. A Notice of Violation and Intent to Issue Civil Penalty will be issued for the following non-compliance of Permit W00002571: 1. Failure to perform inspections and maintenance of the Irrigation facility to ensure proper operations. (section V.1-2) 2. Failure to document maintenance activities. (section IV.9) 3. Failure to take measures to prevent effluent ponding in or runoff from the irrigation site.
