Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Conducted a routine compliance inspection with Mr. Mike Lanier with New Hanover Regional Medical
Center on September 17, 2019. A site review was performed which included viewing boilers, air
compressors, water chillers and cooling towers. The blowdown line for the air compressor that may
contain oil was confirmed to be routed to the sanitary sewer for disposal. Boiler and cooling tower
blowdown lines were directed to the NCG500310 outfall for disposal, the blowdown volumes are
variable as they are initiated by system controllers based on set point values.
A review of sampling data showed sampling events on May 13, 2019 and October 23, 2018. The
analysis are performed by Envirochem on a contract basis and include Oil & Grease, Chlorine,
Temperature, pH and COD. None of the reported values were of concern or exceeded daily
maximums.
New Hanover Regional Medical Center staff were instructed to contact Envirochem to arrange for low
level chlorine analysis to be performed during future sampling events to reflect results in ug/I rather
than the mg/I values being reported. The acceptable level for Total Residual Chlorine is any value
below 50.0 ug/I.
