SUBJECT: Compliance Inspection Report
Cathey's Creek WTP
NPDES WW Permit No. NCO044784
Transylvania County
Dear Permittee:
The North Carolina Division of Water Resources conducted an inspection of the Cathey's Creek WTP on
3/12/2020. This inspection was conducted to verify that the facility is operating in compliance with the
conditions and limitations specified in NPDES WW Permit No. NC0044784. The findings and comments
noted during this inspection are provided in the enclosed copy of the inspection report entitled
"Compliance Inspection Report".
There were no significant issues or findings noted during the inspection and therefore, a response to this
inspection report is not required; however, the following item was noted during the inspection:
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 depth change during dewatering). This has been communicated to permit
writing staff in Central Office for future reference.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Tim Heim with the Water
Quality Regional Operations Section in the Asheville Regional Office at 828-296-4500 or via email at
[e-mail].
Sincerely, DocuSignedby:
