Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Tim Heim of the Asheville Regional Office performed a routine Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the
facility on March 12, 2020. Dennis Richardson (ORC) assisted with the inspection.
The facility was appeared maintained and operated within NPDES compliance at the time of the
inspection.
The following item was noted during the inspection (and in 2019):
The last permit update (2015) required installation of an automated flow meter, this was due to a
misunderstanding of DMR data (DMRs were indicating approximately twice the actual discharge) This
error has been corrected and the ORC has requested that the facility return to the manual method of
estimating discharge (clarifier dept change during dewatering). Tim Heim communicated this to
Charles Weaver (DEQ Central Office) for reference when the permit is updated.
