SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Summerfield Shopping Center—Wastewater Surface Irrigation
Permit No. WQ0013808
Guilford County
Dear Mr. Witcher:
On October 25,2016 staff of the North Carolina Division of Water Resources(DWR)Winston-Salem
Regional Office performed a compliance inspection of the subject land application facility. This
inspection was performed by DWR representative Jim Gonsiewski. The compliance inspection
report for this inspection is enclosed for your review. A separate DWR office file review of self-
monitoring data for the period of June 2015 through August 2016 was also conducted.
While the majority of the inspection reflects compliance with the permit, the following items were
noted in which permit conditions were not met:
1. In August 2016, the permitted 12-month application total (34.75") was exceeded in Field 2
(39.71"). According to Mr. Chad Leinbach, operator in responsible charge (ORC) for the
facility, this condition was due to wet weather and a mechanical breakdown in the dosing
system. Mr. Leinbach also stated that the mechanical problem has been fixed. Please
continue to monitor future applications to ensure that these application totals are not
exceeded.
2. The freeboard limit (2') measured in the wet weather storage pond was exceeded on several
dates in October 2015 (0.5' on October 6, 0.8' on October 12, and 1.9' on October 20) and
once in January 2016 (0.5' on January 5). The area received a large volume of rain in
October, so it is likely that the excess rain caused the freeboard exceedances during this
month. Please continue to monitor the freeboard in the pond, especially during periods of
abnormally wet weather.
In addition to the above listed permit condition violations, the following items of concern require
your attention and action as well:
The audio alarms for the wet weather storage pond and the recirculating sand filter were not

The fence along Highway 220 was still missing due to the continuing work on the expansion of the
highway. Please ensure that the fence is replaced when the work on the highway has been completed.
This office commends your efforts to correct the deficiencies noted in our letter of August 24, 2015.
