Dear Mr. O'Briant:
On Tuesday, February 25111, 2020, Josh Brigham of the Raleigh Regional Office of the Division of Water
Resources, conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the deemed collection system for the
Franklin Co. Correctional Center. The purpose of this inspection was to ensure compliance with the
subject permit. During the inspection, the presence and cooperation of Rick Richard was helpful and
appreciated.
This compliance evaluation inspection consisted of the following:
Review of the 15A NCAC 02T .0403 permit requirements;
Review of the owner/facility information;
And on -site inspection of the collection system.
Findines durine the inspection and file review were as follows:
1. The subject pen -nit was issued and became effective on March 1", 2000. All deemed permitted
facilities are required to adhere to the requirements and procedures for permitting, operation, and
maintenance of collection systems as stated in 15A NCAC 02T .0403
2. The Franklin Co. Correctional Center collection system does not have any pump stations or high
priority lines on the property. The collection system consists of manholes, a bar screen, and
sanitary sewer lines (all gravity) that collect and convey sanitary sewage to the city sewer
maintained by the Town of Bunn. The bar screen is cleaned twice per day, seven days per week.
3. Under 15A NCAC 02T .0403 (a)(1), you are required to effectively maintain and operate the

prevent any contravention of groundwater standards or surface water standards. The bar screen
at the permitted facility is cleaned twice daily and documented. No problems were noted
with the bar screen. Upon further examination of three manholes located within the yard,
one manhole was observed to be full of water and in need of jetting. Another manhole was
unable to be opened due to a lock that would not open. Jetting of lines is performed inside
buildings when necessary and chemicals are used to unclog shower drains.
4. Under 15A NCAC 02T .0403 (a)(2), you are required to develop and maintain a map of the
collection system. A map was not available at the time of inspection. A map should be
developed that shows the components of the wastewater collection system (sewer Penes,
manhole locations, location of bar screen, flow direction, size, age, and material of sewer.
lines).
5. Under 15A NCAC 02T .0403 (a)(3), you are required to develop an operation and maintenance
plan that includes a preventative maintenance schedule, spare parts inventory, and overflow
response plan. An updated overall operation and maintenance plan should continue to be
developed. An overflow response plan was available for review during the inspection.
6. Under 15A NCAC 02T .0403 (a)(6), a general observation by the permittee or its representative
of the entire collection system shall be conducted once per )ear. At the time of inspection there
were no records of annual observations of the entire collection system.
7. Under 15A NCAC 02T .0403 (a)(8)(B), privately owned collection systems will implement a
Grease Control Program that includes bi-annual distribution of grease educational materials to
users of the collection system by the permittee or its representative. We recommend putting
signage in the kitchen that reminds staff about the appropriate disposal of fats, oil, and
grease (FOG). It was also noted during the inspection that the grease trap in the kitchen
had not been serviced by Greasecycle from 12/5/18 until 2/13/20 due to construction
activities.
8. Under 15A NCAC 02T .0403 (a)(] 0), documentation of compliance with Subparagraphs (a)(1)
through (a)(9) of this Rule shall be maintained by the collection system owner for three years
with the exception of the map, «hick sliall be maintained for the life of the system.
Documentation of the previously mentioned requirements should be developed and
maintained for the aforementioned time frames.
Please respond in writing as to how the bolded items will be addressed within 30 days of
receipt of this letter.
