Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
NPDES Permit No. NCO055271
Shields Mobile Home Park WWTP
Alamance County
Dear Mr. Shields:
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at the Shields Mobile Home
Park WWTP in Alamance County on June 25, 2015. Mike Carson, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC),
was present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: an in -office review of
facility files and self -monitoring data and an on -site inspection of the facility. This particular inspection
evaluated nine (9) areas, and observations from each area are addressed below:
1 Permit
The permit became effective June 1, 2011 and expires May 31, 2016. A copy of the current permit was
available for review during the inspection.
2. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from January 2014 through March 2015 showed no
limit violations. All monitoring appears to have been performed per the frequencies specified in the
permit.
3. Laboratory
Mr. Carson visits the plant weekly and tests the following field parameters: pH, dissolved oxygen, and
temperature. Mr. Carson's field parameter certification number is 5195. Calibration records for Mr.
Carson's meters are maintained with records and reports. According to records, you are performing the
second temperature reading of the week. Meritech, Inc. analyzes all other parameters for the facility:
BOD, Total Suspended Solids, Ammonia, Fecal Coliform, Total Nitrogen, and Total Phosphorus.
4. Flow Measurement
The permit requires weekly instantaneous flow measurement. Effluent flow is estimated using the
meter on the mobile home park's well (incoming water).

5. Sludge Handling Disposal
Pee-Wee's Septic Tank Service removes sludge from the septic tanks approximately every 6 months.
Records of this service were available for review during the inspection. The last pump -outs occurred in
October 2014 and June 2015.
6. Operations and Maintenance
No problems were noted with respect to operation and maintenance at the facility. A resident in the
mobile home park blows leaves, pulls weeds, and rakes the sand bed once per week. A portable
generator is available to operate all three pumps at the plant in case of power failure. Back -Up ORC is
Richard Ray, Grade I.
7. Facility Site Review
The treatment system is a recirculating surface sand filter. Following initial treatment, half of effluent
goes back to head of the plant, while the other half is sent to the UV system then to discharge. The UV
system appears to be working properly. Chlorine tablets are maintained on site in the event that the UV
system fails.
8. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and lab data are maintained according to the permit. DMRs
include all permit parameters. Copies of the monitoring reports and corresponding lab data were
available for review during the inspection.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent pipe is located at the bottom of the hill below the sand filter system. The receiving stream
is Travis Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent appeared clear with no traceable solids.
Please refer to the attached report for specific details from the inspection. If you have any questions
concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 776-9800.

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
NPDES Permit No. NC0055271
Shields Mobile Home Park WWTP
Alamance County
Dear Mr. Shields:
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at the Shields
Mobile Home Park VVWTP in Alamance County on March 13, 2014. Mike Carson, Operator in
Responsible Charge (ORC), was present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of two
basic parts: an in -office review of facility files and self -monitoring data and an on -site inspection of
the facility. This particular inspection evaluated nine (9) areas, and observations from each area are
addressed below:
1. Permit
The permit became effective June 1, 2011 and expires May 31, 2016. A copy of the current permit
was available for review during the inspection.
2. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from November 2012 through November 2013
showed no limit violations. All monitoring appears to have been performed per the frequencies
specified in the permit; however, flow was inadvertently left off the monitoring report once in August
and once in October.
3. Laboratory
Mr. Carson visits the plant weekly and samples for the following field parameters: pH, dissolved
oxygen, and temperature. Mr. Carson's field parameter certification number is 5195. Calibration
records for Mr. Carson's meters are maintained with records and reports. You perform the second
temperature reading of the week. Meritech, Inc. analyzes all other parameters for the facility: BOD,
Total Suspended Solids, Ammonia, Fecal Coliform, Total Nitrogen, and Total Phosphorus.
4. Flow Measurement
The permit requires weekly instantaneous flow measurement. Effluent flow is estimated using the
meter on the mobile home park's well (incoming water).

5. Sludge Handling Disposal
Pee-Wee's Septic Tank Service removes sludge from the septic tanks approxima
months. Records of this service were available for review during the inspection. The last pump -out
occurred on February 10, 2014. .
6. Operations and Maintenance
The sand bed appeared green and discolored on the day of the inspection, much different than how
it has looked in the past at this facility. A resident of the mobile home park blows leaves, pulls
weeds, and rakes the sand bed. Please make sure the sand bed is raked regularly to avoid algae
and excessive vegetation on the surface.
A portable generator is available to operate the pumps at the plant in case of power failure. Back -Up
ORC is Richard Ray, Grade I.
7. Facility Site Review
The treatment system is a recirculating surface sand filter. Following initial treatment, half of effluent
goes back to head of the plant, while the other half is sent to the UV system then to discharge. The
UV system appears to be working properly. Chlorine tablets are maintained on site in the event that
the UV system fails.
8. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and lab data are maintained according to the permit.
DMRs include all permit parameters. Copies of the monitoring reports and corresponding lab data
were available for review during the inspection.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent pipe is located at the bottom of the hill below the sand filter system. The receiving
stream is Travis Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent appeared clear with no traceable
solids.
Please refer to the attached report for specific details from the inspection. If you have any
questions concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 771-5000.

Alamance County
Dear Mr. Shields:
Jenny Graznak and Aana Taylor -Smith of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation
Inspection at the Shields Mobile Home Park WWTP in Alamance County on January 16, 2013. Mike
Carson, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), was present for the inspection. This type of
inspection consists of two basic parts: an in -office review of facility files and self -monitoring data and
an on -site inspection of the facility. This particular inspection evaluated nine (9) areas, and
observations from each area are addressed below:
1. Permit
The new permit became effective June 1, 2011 and expires May 31, 2016.
2. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from November 2011 through October 2012 showed
no limit violations. All monitoring was performed per the frequencies specified in the permit except
that Temperature was missing from the Discharge Monitoring Report on the week of October 27 —
November 6, 2012. This deficiency was addressed in previous correspondence from this office.
3. Laboratory
Mr. Carson visits the plant once per week and performs the following field parameters: pH, dissolved
oxygen, and temperature. Mr. Carson's field parameter certification number is 5195. The dissolved
oxygen and pH meters are routinely calibrated, and the calibration records are maintained with the
facility files. Meritech, Inc. analyzes all other parameters for the facility: BOD, Total Suspended
Solids, Ammonia, Fecal Coliform, Total Nitrogen, and Total Phosphorus. Mr. Shields visits the plant
on a weekly basis to perform the second temperature reading of the week.
4. Flow Measurement
The permit requires weekly instantaneous flow measurement. Effluent flow is estimated using the
meter on the mobile home park's well (incoming water).
5. Sludge Handling Disposal
Pee-Wee's Septic Tank Service provides sludge disposal for the facility. The facility's septic tanks
are emptied approximately every 6 months. Records of this service (copies of invoices) were

6. Operations and Maintenance
No problems were noted with respect to operation and maintenance at the facility. A resident in the
mobile home park blows leaves, pulls weeds, and rakes the sand bed twice per week. A portable
generator is available to operate all three pumps at the plant in case of power failure.
7. Facility Site Review
The treatment system is a recirculating surface sand filter. Following initial treatment, half of effluent
goes back to head of the plant, while the other half is sent to the chlorinator, then to discharge. The
UV system appears to be working properly. Chlorine tablets are maintained on site in case the UV
system fails for some reason.
8. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and lab data are maintained according to the permit.
DMRs include all permit parameters. Copies of the monitoring reports and corresponding lab data
were available for review during the inspection.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent pipe is located at the bottom of the hill below the sand filter system. The receiving
stream is Travis Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent appeared clear with no traceable
solids.
The facility was found to be in compliance with NPDES Permit No. NC0055271. Please refer
to the attached report for specific details from the inspection. If you have any questions concerning
this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 771-5000.

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection — NPDES Permit No. NCO055271
Shields Mobile Home Park WWTP — Alamance County
Dear Mr. Shields:
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at the Shields
Mobile Home Park WWTP in Alamance County on January 18, 2012. Mike Carson, Operator in
Responsible Charge (ORC), was present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of
two basic parts: an in -office review of facility files and self -monitoring data and an on -site
inspection of the facility. This particular inspection evaluated nine (9) areas, and observations
from each area are addressed below:
1. Permit
The new permit became effective June 1, 2011 and expires May 31, 2016. This new permit
does not include any significant changes from the previous permit.
2. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from November 2010 through October 2011
showed no limit violations. All monitoring was performed per the frequencies specified in the
permit except that Flow was missing from the Discharge Monitoring Report on the week of
February 25 through March 6, 2011.
3. Laboratory
Mr. Carson visits the plant once per week and performs the following field parameters: pH,
dissolved oxygen, and temperature. Mr. Carson's field parameter certification number is 5195.
The dissolved oxygen and pH meters are routinely calibrated, and the calibration records are
maintained with the facility files. Temperature is recorded with the dissolved oxygen meter, and
proof of annual verification was provided during the inspection. The thermometer was last
verified on June 22, 2011. Tritest, Inc. analyzes all other parameters for the facility: BOD, Total
Suspended Solids, Ammonia, Fecal Coliform, Total Nitrogen, and Total Phosphorus. Mr.
Shields visits the plant on a weekly basis to perform the second temperature reading of the
week.
4. Flow Measurement
The permit requires weekly instantaneous flow measurement. Effluent flow is estimated using
the meter on the mobile home park's well (incoming water).

5. Sludge Handling Disposal
Pee-Wee's Septic Tank Service provides sludge disposal for the facility. The facility's septic
tanks are emptied approximately every 6 months. Records of this service (copies of invoices)
were available for review during the inspection. The last pump -out occurred on August 11, 2011
when 6,000 gallons were removed.
6. Operations and Maintenance
No problems were noted with respect to operation and maintenance at the facility. A resident in
the mobile home park blows leaves, pulls weeds, and rakes the sand bed twice per week. A
portable generator is available to operate all three pumps for the plant in case of power failure.
7. Facility Site Review
The treatment system is a recirculating surface sand filter. Following initial treatment, half of
effluent goes back to headworks of the plant, while the other half is sent to the chlorinator, then
to discharge. The UV system appears to be working properly. Chlorine tablets are maintained
on site in case the UV system fails for some reason. Since the operator is not adding chlorine
to the system, Total Residual Chlorine is not being sampled.
8. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and lab data are maintained according to the permit.
DMRs include all permit parameters. Copies of the monitoring reports and corresponding lab
data were available for review during the inspection.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent pipe is located at the bottom of the hill below the sand filter system. The receiving
stream is Travis Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent appeared clear with no
traceable solids.
The facility was found to be in compliance with NPDES Permit No. NC0055271. Please
refer to the attached report for specific details from the inspection. If you have any questions
concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 771-5000.

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection — NPDES Permit No. NCO055271
Shields Mobile Home Park WWTP — Alamance County
Dear Mr. Shields:
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at the Shields
Mobile Home Park WWTP in Alamance County on October 27, 2010. Mike Carson, Operator in
Responsible Charge (ORC), was present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of
two basic parts: an in -office review of facility files and self -monitoring data and an on -site
inspection of the facility. This particular inspection evaluated nine (9) areas, and observations
from each area are addressed below:
1. Permit
The new permit became effective June 1, 2006 and expires May 31, 2011. If you haven't
already, you should be receiving information regarding permit renewal soon.
2. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the self -monitoring data submitted for the period August 2009 through July 2010 showed
that all parameters were sampled and analyzed per the requirements of the permit. In regards to
compliance with effluent limits, there was one violation of the monthly Ammonia limit in January 2010
and one violation of the daily minimum requirement for Dissolved Oxygen in June 2010. These
violations were addressed in a previous correspondence from this office.
3. Laboratory
Operators perform the following field parameters at the plant: pH, dissolved oxygen, and
temperature. The dissolved oxygen and pH meters are routinely calibrated, and the calibration
records are maintained with the facility files. Temperature is recorded with the dissolved oxygen
meter, and proof of annual verification was provided during the inspection. The thermometer
was last verified on June 25, 2010. Mr. Carson's field parameter certification number is 5195.
Tritest, Inc. analyzes all other parameters for the facility.
4. Flow Measurement
The permit requires weekly instantaneous flow measurement. Effluent flow is estimated using
the meter on the mobile home park's well (incoming water).
5. Sludge Handling Disposal
Pee-Wee's Septic Tank Service provides
tanks are emptied approximately every 6

were available for review during the inspection. The last pump -outs occurred on March 10,
2010 and October 14, 2010.
6. Operations and Maintenance
No major problems were noted with respect to operation and maintenance at the facility. Mike
Lindley, a resident in the mobile home park, has been hired to rake the sand beds on a weekly
basis. A portable generator is available to operator all three pumps for the plant in cases of
power failure.
7. Facility Site Review
The treatment system is a recirculating surface sand filter. Following initial treatment, half of
effluent goes back to headworks of the plant, while the other half is sent to the chlorinator, then
to discharge. The UV system, which was installed in May 2008, appears to be working properly.
Chlorine tablets are maintained on site in case the UV system was to fail. Since the operator is
not adding chlorine to the system, Total Residual Chlorine is not being sampled.
8. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and lab data are maintained according to the permit.
DMRs include all permit parameters. Copies of the monitoring reports and corresponding lab
data were available for review during the inspection.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent pipe is located at the bottom of the hill below the sand filter system. The receiving
stream is Travis Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent appeared clear with no
traceable solids.
The facility was found to be in compliance with NPDES Permit No. NC0055271. Please
refer to the attached report for specific details from the inspection. If you have any questions
concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 771-5000.

On March the 7, 2007 1 was granted the permit modification on Daily Temperature to Frequency of two
times a week ( enclosed is a copy of the permit modification) I request to have the NOV descended on
this violation, that we are operating within our given permit.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 336.209.0945 also so Jenny Graznak knows of the
permit modification.

Good morning Jenny, I would like to request a permit modification for Temperature daily requirement to 2/week.
The reason is the plant has been in complaint for the last few years with no problems. Mr. Shields runs the CL2
and Temperature daily and I as ORC visit the plant once a week as required by permit. Mr. Shields has had some
health problems and as he gets older making it harder to visit the plant everyday as you can see by our DMR we
sample more than the state request to ensure the plant is running proper. I also feel that the Temperature really
don't change that much in a week. Also we are looking into changing from CL2 to UV after studies are complete
if we change over to UV we would not have to sample CL2 which will leave Temperature daily.
Thank you for your time on this matter.

Dear Sir,
On Jan 7, 2010 we had a hit on Ammonia Monthly limit, as you can see by the data we have
never had a problem of AMMONIA at Shields. On the sample of on 2-7-10 we had 9.0 mg/I where the
limit is 4 mg/I. I'm not real sure what happened, due to the month of Dec 09 our average of Ammonia
was <.02 mg/I on both sampling events and with a yearly average of .155 mg/I. On Jan 20th, 2010
sampling event Ammonia was 2.14 mg/l and the first sampling on Feb 3, 2010 the Ammonia was even
lower at 1.37 mg/I. I feel something Toxic came into the plant. I know a few of the mobile homes are
now rented and maybe someone was using a strong cleaner. I have asked Mrs. Shields to put out a
Memo about what you can and cannot flush out into the system. I spoke with our lab Tritest Labs and all
QC was followed and test was true.
Thank you for your time on this matter,

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
NPDES General Permit No. NCO055271
Shields Mobile Home Park WWTP
Alamance County
Dear Mr. Shields:
Michael F. Easley, Governor
William G. Ross Jr., Secretary
North Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources
Coleen H. Sullins, Director
Division of Water Quality
Jenny Graznak of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at the Shields
Mobile Home Park WWTP in Alamance County on December 3, 2008. Mike Carson, Operator
in Responsible Charge (ORC), was present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists
of two basic parts: an in -office review of facility files and self -monitoring data and an on -site
inspection of the facility. This particular inspection evaluated nine (9) areas, and observations
from each area are addressed below:
1. Permit
The new permit became effective June 1, 2006 and expires May 31, 2011.
2. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from October 2007 through September 2008
showed 8 violations of the new Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) limit in April 2008. The
compliance deadline for the new TRC limit was March 31, 2008. The UV system was not
installed until May 16, 2008. A civil penalty was assessed for these violations. All monitoring is
performed per the frequencies specified in the permit.
3. Laboratory
Operators perform the following field parameters at the plant: pH, dissolved oxygen, and
temperature. The dissolved oxygen and pH meters are routinely calibrated, and the dates of
calibration are placed on the meters. Temperature is recorded with the dissolved oxygen meter,
and proof of annual verification was provided during the inspection. Mr. Carson's field
parameter certification number is 5195. Tritest, Inc. analyzes all other parameters for the
facility.
4. Flow Measurement
The permit requires weekly instantaneous flow measurement. Effluent flow is estimated using
the meter on the facility's well (incoming water).
5. Sludge Handling Disposal
Pee-Wee's Septic Tank Service provides sludge disposal for the facility. The facility's septic
tanks are emptied approximately every 6 months. Records of this service (copies of invoices)
were available for review during the inspection. The last pump -out of 4000 gallons occurred in
June 19, 2008.

December 8, 2008
6. Operations and Maintenance
According to the operator, mobile home park staff performs regular maintenance of the sand
beds. The sand beds appeared to be much better maintained this year than at the last year's
inspection. Regular raking inhibits the growth of algae and other small plants.
7. Facility Site Review
The treatment system is a recirculating surface sand filter. Following initial treatment, half of
effluent goes back to headworks of the plant, while the other half is sent to the chlorinator, then
to discharge. The UV system, which was installed in May 2008, appears to be working properly.
8. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and lab data are maintained according to the permit.
DMRs include all permit parameters. Copies of the monitoring reports and corresponding lab
data were available for review during the inspection.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent pipe is located at the bottom of the hill below the sand filter system. The receiving
stream is Travis Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent appeared clear with no
traceable solids.
The facility was found to be in compliance with NPDES Permit No. NC0055271. Please
refer to the attached report for specific details from the inspection. If you have any questions
concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 771-5000.

system, which was installed in May 2008, appears to be working properly.
8. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and lab data are maintained according to the permit. DMRs
include all permit parameters. Copies of the monitoring reports and corresponding lab data were available
for review during the inspection.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent pipe is located at the bottom of the hill below the sand filter system. The receiving stream is
Travis Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent appeared clear with no traceable solids.

Subject: Notification of Jordan Lake Nutrient Requirements
NPDES Permit NCO055271
Shields Mobile Home Park
Alamance County
Governor Bev Perdue recently signed legislation to complete passage of rules for the Jordan Lake
Nutrient Management Strategy. The Strategy includes a Wastewater Discharge rule (T15A NCAC 02B
.0270) that applies to your wastewater treatment facility. Pursuant to Sub -Item (6)(d) of the rule, I am
writing to notify you of the nutrient allocations assigned to your facility.
This letter addresses only certain provisions of the Jordan Lake Wastewater Discharge rule. I encourage
you to familiarize yourself with the remainder of this rule.
Nutrient Allocations. The Wastewater Discharge rule establishes the maximum loads of nitrogen and
phosphorus that can be released from wastewater treatment facilities into the Jordan Lake watershed.
The rule provides that these wasteload allocations are to be divided among the existing facilities in
proportion to (with specific exceptions) their 2001 permitted flows. It also provides that facilities
permitted to discharge 100,000 gpd or more are to receive nitrogen and phosphorus limits equivalent to
their individual allocations.
Your facility has been assigned nitrogen and phosphorus allocations. The allocations are expressed as
annual mass loadings delivered to the lake. Due to foreseeable losses between the discharge point and
the lake, they are also expressed as the equivalent discharge loads at the point of discharge. The
delivered and the corresponding discharge allocations assigned to your facility are as follows:

Jerry L. Shields
Notification of Jordan Lake Nutrient Requirements
September 25, 2009
Nutrient Limits. Your facility will not receive new nutrient limits at this time. However, any nutrient
limits already in your NPDES permit will remain in effect.
If the facilities permitted for less than 100,000 gpd, as a group, approach their allocations for nitrogen
or phosphorus, the Division will consider whether nutrient limits are necessary to protect water quality
at that time. In the event that nutrient limits become necessary, the limits would equal your facility's
discharge allocations.
Nutrient Trading. The rule provides that, when one utility connects to another, the allocations held by
the closing facility are transferred to the remaining facility. The rule also provides for the trading of
allocations among dischargers within each of the major Jordan subwatersheds. Be sure to consult with
the Division's NPDES staff before you consider selling allocation: transactions can have profound
implications for your facility and its permit.
If you have any questions regarding these allocations, please contact me at (919) 807-6402 or at
mike. templeton@ncdenr.gov.

Division of Water Quality
Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection — NPDES General Permit No. NCO055271
Shields Mobile Home Park WWTP, Alamance County
Dear Mr. Shields:
Jenny Freeman of this office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at the
Shields Mobile Home Park WWTP in Alamance County on November 28, 2007. Mike Carson,
Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), was present for the inspection. This type of inspection
consists of two basic parts: an in -office review of facility files and self -monitoring data and an
on -site inspection of the facility. This particular inspection evaluated nine (9) areas, and
observations from each area are addressed below:
1. Permit
The new permit became effective June 1, 2006 and expires May 31, 2011. A permit
modification was issued on November 5, 2007 to extend the Total Residual Chlorine compliance
deadline from December 1, 2007 to March 21, 2008. It is our understanding that this extension
was requested to enable the installation of a UV disinfection system.
2. Self -Monitoring Proqram
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from October 2006 through September 2007
showed no limit violations. All monitoring is performed per the frequencies specified in the
permit.
3. Laboratory
Operators perform the following field parameters at the plant: pH, TRC, dissolved oxygen, and
temperature. The dissolved oxygen and pH meters are routinely calibrated, and the dates of
calibration are placed on the meters. Temperature is recorded with the dissolved oxygen meter,
and proof of annual verification was provided during the inspection. The last calibration was
performed on August 7, 2007. Mr. Carson's field parameter certification number is 5195.
Tritest, Inc. analyzes all other parameters for the facility.
4. Flow Measurement
The permit requires weekly instantaneous flow measurement. Effluent flow is estimated using
the meter on the facility's well (incoming water).
5. Sludge Handling Disposal
Pee-Wee's Septic Tank Service provides sludge disposal for the facility. The facility's septic
tanks are emptied approximately every 6 months. Records of this service (copies of invoices)
were available for review during the inspection. The last pump -out of 6500 gallons occurred in
August 2007.

November 30, 2007
6. Operations and Maintenance
According to the operator, mobile home park staff performs regular maintenance of the sand
beds. There was a significant amount of vegetative growth on the beds at the time of the
inspection. Regular raking will inhibit the growth of algae and other small plants.
7. Facility Site Review
The treatment system is a recirculating surface sand filter. Following initial treatment, half of
effluent goes back to headworks of the plant, while the other half is sent to the chlorinator, then
to discharge.
8. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and lab data are maintained according to the permit.
DMRs include all permit parameters. Copies of the monitoring reports and corresponding lab
data were available for review during the inspection.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent pipe is located at the bottom of the hill below the sand filter system. The receiving
stream is Travis Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. The effluent appeared clear with no
traceable solids.

Steve W. Tedder

1. Permit
The new permit became effective March 1, 2007 and expired May 31, 2011. The limit for aluminum has
been removed and the monitoring frequency changed to monthly, and the monitoring requirement for
ammonia -nitrogen has been removed from the permit. This permit includes a Total Residual Chlorine limit
of 17 ug/L that will take effect on September 1, 2008.
2. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from October 2006 through September 2007 showed no limit
violations. All monitoring is performed per the frequencies specified in the permit.
3. Laboratory
Mike Champion is the Laboratory Coordinator for the facility's on -site laboratory. WTP staff analyzes the
following samples: Settleable Solids, Total Residual Chlorine, pH, Turbidity and Temperature. Meritech,
Inc. analyzes Aluminum, Total Fluoride, Total Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus, and Total Suspended Solids
samples. Iron monitoring is not required since iron is not used in the treatment process.
4. Flow Measurement
Plant staff estimates the effluent flow from the wastewater lagoons on a weekly basis by the volume of
backwash, taking into consideration the volume that is used for re -wash.
5. Sludge Handling Disposal
Sludge disposal is handled by Synagro, Inc. Alum residuals are surface land applied on City of Graham
property under permit number WQ0003824. Synagro last removed 1.157 million gallons from the lagoons
#1 and #2 on June 20, 2007. Receipts from this service were available for review during the inspection.
6. Operations & Maintenance
No major problems were noted with respect to facility operation and maintenance. The daily operations and
maintenance logbook is very well organized. Maintenance activities include the addition of lime, sludge
removal from lagoons, and mowing.
7. Facility Site Review
The plant discharges filter backwash water. Backwashing occurs on an as -needed basis. The treatment
process consists of three settling lagoons, arranged in series. Effluent is discharged from Lagoon #3, after
it passes through Lagoons #1 and #2.
8. Records/Reports
The Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and lab data are maintained according to the permit. DMRs
include all permit parameters. A copy of this lab data was available for review during the inspection.
9. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The effluent is discharged into Back Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. At the time of the inspection, the
effluent appeared clear with no traceable solids.

RE: NC DEHNR/DWQ/NPDES NCO055271
CASE NO. #LV-2008-0231
Sir:
We are in total dis-belief that we received a civil
penalty on monitoring the add -on equipment to the Waste
Water System. Mr. James M. Carson, ORC did the work
and correspondence to find a system that we could afford
and the State would accept. We did not receive final
approval from the State to construct this system until
April 28, 2008, letter from Mr. Ken Pohlig, P.E.(attached).
According to correspondence from Mr. Matt Mathews on May
1, 2008, some systems are still having problems finding
equipment to read as low as the EPA rules requires.
When we received the notice from DWQ to install additional
equipment, cost and installation, it presented us with just
another financial crisis. We only rent lot spaces, have
14 and only 10 are rented. Our first reaction was to close
the park. After serious thought and cond•sideration for our
tenants, we could not justify that decision. We know our
tenants could not afford to re -locate, move their mobile
home without creating financial problems for them.
My husband and I both retired and in our early 70's. I
have had to go back to a part-time job to help with my
husbands' medical expenses. He has Mascular Degenerative
Diseasein both eyes, being treated at Duke Eye Center
trying to save sight in his left eye, since he has lost the
sight in his right eye.
A civil penalty of this would

Permit #NC0055271 �-
IDAN 9E'CtiQR
Date: 7/13/08
Ref: April Notice of Violation
Dear DWQ
When our new permit came out April 2006 with the new TRC. At that time I met
with the owner (Shields) and informed them of the changes and new requirements. At
that time I started looking for field equipment that would read low enough to meet the
new permit I started to research Thomas, Fisher, Hach and others. At that time everyone
was working to come up with something that would work. The only equipment they had
was a bench top for a Lab and being a field lab we would have no place for this
equipment and the cost was $3000.00 to $5000.00. At that cost there was no way Shields
M-H-P could afford this. I was being told from the equipment supplier that the new field
unit was on its way and hope to have it ready for sale soon. So we waited and it took
longer than they thought once it came out it this was very costly for the Shields as well.
Mr. & Mrs. Shields are retired. The Mobile Home Park is a grade 1 plant with a sand
filter. The park has 14 units in it and only 10 occupied with an average flow of .002
MGD. The cost of operation of the park is always on the line or going into the red when
any added cost has a large impact on the Shields. .
I met with the Shields and informed them of the cost of the equipment for TRC and other
choices we had. We needed to decide on whether to go with UV or the equipment needed
to meet the TRC. UV was the cheapest way to go, so after researching this, found UV
would be the best way to go. I met again with Mr. & Mrs. Shields, got their ok for the UV
and I called the state to get a request to construct and what was needed to do this. The AC
required a stamp from an Engineer. I contacted many Engineer firms trying to find one
who was within our price range. There were firms who would not give me a price due to
the size of the project, I contacted, Black & Veatch, AWCK, Hayward. I called friends I
know who are engineers, but because of their firms they could not help. I had prices from
$9000.00 to $15000.00, which was totally out of range for the Shields. It took many
phones call but I found Russell Underwood who is a PE, would help us on this matter. By
the time I found the engineer, and ordered the equipment, I knew we were going to be out
of time to meet the new permit so I requested a permit Modification in Nov 07 for
extending the permit to be able to meet the start of new permit. I was given 120 days on
the permit, which said we would have to have the UV in place and running by March 31
2008. Now we have the Engineer permit modification I submitted the AC on 1/13/08,
which gave us 4 months to get the system in and in operation.
On February 28, 2008 received a letter from DWQ Grant and Loans section stating they
are reviewing the AC. From there it was back and forth with them on many questions and
requests they had for our Engineers. We would complete their request and they would
come back with more. April 28, 2008 received the letter giving us the ok to construct. I
called our DWQ inspection and informed her we had the AC, and the UV system would
be installed within the next 2 week, on May 16, 2008 the UV system was in operation.
We could not start the installation until we had the AC, which was not completed, in the
DWQ office until April 28, 2008.
We request a remission of this violation due to:
1: In the last 8 years the Shields have not had any civil penalties.
2: We feel we did all we could do and were at the mercy of the state to meet the time line.
3: Within 2 weeks of the completed AC, the system was in operation.
4: Finding an Engineer that could work within our price range. Finding an engineer that
could take on such a small job.
5:1, James Carson stayed in touch with DWQ office (Jenny Graznak) and the office of
G&L responding to all requests into helping the project on the way and until it was
completed.
6: Mr. Shields has been in bad health with high medical cost and at times had to postpone
meeting with him due to his health. (In hospital or surgeries)
To a large city a civil penalty of $450.00 is just a drop in the hat but to a small Mobile
Home Park like the Shields could have a huge impact on their operation cost.
So in summary having to wait to find equipment that had to be designed for the field to
read TRC, having to find an Engineer Firm who we could afford or even talk to us due to
small project, waiting for the Grants and Loans section with DWQ to complete the AC.
Please review the following attachments:

Shields Mobile Home Park — UV Disinfection System Installation
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
General
All state regulations and requirements of the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) apply to all contractors and
subcontractors. The project is to install a UV disinfection system in line with plant finished water outflow to
accommodate state maximum de -chlorination concentrations for treated waste water discharge. This system should
take the place of the existing chlorination and de -chlorination contact basins. These contact basins, however, are to
remain in service by way of a bypass valve in the event of a UV disinfection system failure.
UV Disinfection System
A. General
The UV disinfection system shall be of the in -line chamber type and shall consist of a UV lamp installed inside of a
quartz sleeve to maintain optimum disinfection. The UV lamps and quartz sleeves shall be removable for periodic
cleaning and replacement. The UV The unit shall be factory pressure tested to a minimum of 100 psig. The unit
shall be appropriately sized to accommodate peak plant flows. The unit shall be able to be mounted in the vertical or
horizontal position.
B. Spare Module
In accordance with the Division of Water Quality's UV Disinfection Systems Reliability Guidelines, A spare UV
lamp must be kept on -site at all times to minimize downtime in the event of a UV lamp failure. This spare lamp
shall be kept in a designated location known by the owner and plant ORC.
Pining
Influent and effluent piping shall be of PVC schedule 40, or equal, in a gravity flow situation and of sch. 80 PVC, or
equal, in a pressurized outflow system. Piping shall be appropriately sized to accommodate peak plant flows. A
bypass isolation valve shall be installed along with associated piping to keep the existing chlorination and de -
chlorination basins operational in the event of a UV disinfection system failure. Piping will not be painted.
Electrical
A. General
It shall be confirmed before construction that the additional power requirements for operation of the UV system can
be met by the existing power supply at the WWTP. All electrical wiring, conduit, and terminations shall be in
conformance with the latest edition of the NEC 2005 North Carolina Electrical Code or latest adopted update and all
local codes and ordinances.

I. Warranty (at end of this manual)
1. Your Disinfection Unit— Pre -Installation
Your Ultraviolet (UV) water disinfection system has been tested at Enchlor's manufacturing facility. The unit has been
hydrostatically pressure -tested to 100 psi. In some cases, a small amount of water may remain in the vessel. In order to
insure that the unit works at optimum performance, please follow the instructions outlined in this manual.
1.1. Warning
UV light is harmful to your eyes and skin. Do not look directly into the light. Always unplug (disconnect power) your
unit before installing or removing a lamp. Your unit may have a green LED light that indicates that the lamp is
operating (in some products like the SBH Series, an audible alarm will sound in the event of lamp failure). If the LED
goes out, contact your dealer for service. If your unit has an audible alarm and it goes off, contact your dealer.
Since the unit is run by electricity, please remember to disconnect all power before servicing the equipment. Failure to
do so may result in serious injury or death.
When handling lamps and quartz, use gloves to prevent them from becoming dirty. If they do, wipe them with alcohol.
1.2. Your Water Supply
Enchlor recommends that trained professionals test and maintain your water supply. In addition to testing the water to
see if UV is appropriate, we recommend pre -filtering systems (softeners, carbon or reverse osmosis) to help remove
tastes, odors, minerals and cysts.
1.3. UV Effectiveness
Your disinfection unit needs to be maintained. Change your lamp on a yearly basis and insure that the quartz sleeve is
cleaned on a regular basis.
Failure to do periodic maintenance will impact your units effectiveness.
1.4. Flow Rate
Your unit has been designed to accommodate a certain flow rate. In order to work effectively, you may need to install a
flow control device. This device attaches to the inlet and controls the water that enters the system. Note: your system
may have come with a flow controller.
Failure to use a flow control (available at most plumbing supply stores) may reduce the effectiveness of your
disinfection unit.
1.5. Types of Units
There are two basic types of units:
Close -ended units: where the quartz sleeve looks like a test tube and rests inside the unit.
Open-ended units: where the quartz sleeve extends through both sides of the unit.
Follow the instructions for your type of unit.
1.6. Inspection
Insure that lamps and quartz have not been broken. We recommend that you use gloves when handling lamps and
quartz sleeves to prevent them from becoming dirty. Dirt and skin oils will impact the UV output.
A warranty card has been included. Please fill out the warranty and send back to manufacturer or dealer. This
warrantees the chamber for 5-years and electrical components for 1-year.
1.7. Electrical Requirements
The electronics have been designed to work with standard power supplies. Since the unit is susceptible to power
fluctuations, we recommend that the system be kept off any lines where there are surges. This includes pumps or
motors. If there are fluctuations, please use a surge suppressor. Systems will come with plugs, which require no "hard
wiring". Please look at the outside of the electrical "box" for Voltage, Cycle and AMP draw.
1.8. Location of Unit
UV disinfection works best when it is installed closest to point of use. When installing, remember that you will need to
be able to remove lamps and quartz as part of a maintenance schedule. Allow yourself enough room to accomplish
these tasks. Unit can be mounted vertically or horizontally. Inlet and outlet can face up or down.
2. Your Disinfection Unit— Installation
If you are attempting to install the unit by yourself and you have questions, please call your water quality or plumbing
professional. Improper installation can cause potential water damage to your property and can also reduce the effectiveness of
the UV disinfection system.
2.1. Recommended Supplies
Before getting started, you will need the following:
• Screws to bolt the unit into place
• Teflon tape to insure quality sealing
• Shutoff values for both the inlet and outlet
• Unions before and after the unit
• Flow control (from dealer or plumbing supply house) Note: many units come with this as a standard
accessory. It looks like a brass disk with a rubber insert. This will be press fit into the inlet and outlet.
2.2. Plumbing
Your unit may be installed under the sink or where the water enters the building. In either case, we recommend that
shutoff valves be installed before the inlet and after the outlet. This allows for easier yearly servicing and allows you to
shut off the water supply if you have a problem with the unit.
A damaged quartz sleeve can cause a potential leaking problem. An unchecked leak can lead to severe flooding.
2.3. Quartz for Close -ended Units
2.4.
A sealed unit has one opening for the lamp and quartz to go into. The quartz has a dome on one end like a test tube.
Once the unit has been secured and the piping connections have been made, it is time to install the quartz sleeve.
The unit will have come with a compression nut that is in place and holds an O-ring. Remove the nut and the O-ring.
Note that the nut for some units have two pieces — the actual nut and a cap that goes over the nut and holds the lamp
in place.
Insert the dome end of the quartz into the unit. Guide the quartz through the unit until it rests at the end in a spring.
Once in the spring, you can screw in the compression nut (make sure that the O-ring is properly positioned in the nut).
Create a tight seal, but not too tight as you may crack the quartz sleeve.
Now that it is in place, you can test the unit to see if it is watertight. Slowly pressurize the unit by allowing water to run
through the unit for five minutes. As this is happening, check to see if the seal is dry. If it is not, you will need to redo
the seal. If it is dry, you are prepared to install the lamp.
2.4.1. Installing the Lamp
Carefully slide the lamp into the quartz (dropping the lamp can break the quartz). Once it is in place, connect the lamp
to the socket. When you have done that, tighten the cap to the nut and then plug in the unit.
2.5. Quartz for Open-ended Units
An open system has openings on each end of the unit.
The quartz will also have openings on both ends.
H
The unit will have come with compression nuts that are in place and hold O-rings. Remove the nut and the O-ring.
Note that the nut for some units have two pieces — the actual nut and a cap that goes over the nut and holds the lamp
in place.
Insert the quartz into the unit. Use your fingers on both sides to guide it into place. Move the quartz so it comes out of
the unit at equal lengths on both sides.
Making sure that the O-ring is sitting properly in the compression nut, loosely hand tighten each nut into place. Before
tightening, re -check to insure that the quartz is extending equally out of each side. You can do this by inserting your
fingers on both sides and judging the appropriate distance. Once done, tighten until you have a secure fit. Create a
tight seal, but not too tight as you may crack the quartz sleeve.
Now that it is in place, you can test the unit to see if it is watertight. Slowly pressurize the unit by allowing water to run
through the unit for five minutes. As this is happening, check to see if the seal is dry. If it is not, you will need to redo
the seal. If it is dry, you are prepared for lamp installation.
2.5.1. Installing the Lamp
Carefully slide the lamp into the quartz (dropping the lamp can break the quartz). Once it is in
place, connect the lamp to the socket. When you have done that, tighten the cap to the nut and
then plug in the unit.
2.6. Quartz Installation Instructions for the EJTD-7 System
Note: The inlet is at the bottom and outlet is at the top side:
OUTLET
I! INLET
To install the quartz, take an O-ring and put it on - over the open end of the quartz (about 1 /2 —1 inch).
Start with the side where the lamp connects. Now, insert the domed end of the quartz into the unit. You will need to
guide the quartz straight through until it rests in the bottom of the unit.
At this point, the O-ring will be seated in the machined head. You may need to push the O-ring in or out (small
amount). Once adjusted, place the stainless steel washer over the oring and screw -in the compression nut and test as
per the instructions above.
3. Maintenance
As noted in this manual, your lamp needs to be replaced on a yearly basis the quartz cleaned on a more frequent basis.
The quartz may have "build up" on it. If it does, clean it with soap and water. If the quartz is stained, use a product like
CLR or LimeAway (both available at the grocery store).
When you remove the quartz, please follow the same instructions as above.
Track you maintenance record on the front page of this manual.
4. Operation Status and Alarms - Basic
The unit will have come with an audible and or visual lamp status alarm.. In the event of a lamp out, the audible alarm will
sound. If the unit has a visual alarm (Green light aka LED indicates lamp is on), the LED will go off when the lamp goes off.
If this is the case, have your water professional check to see if the lamp needs to be replaced. When alarming, the water
may not be safe to drink.
If the lamp is working, suspect that the alarm board has been damaged and is in need of repair.
5. Recommendations
• Use a licensed plumber or qualified water professional to do the installation.
• Check the unit on a regular basis to see if the lamp is on (the green LED indicator will tell you if the lamp is working).
• When first installing the unit, you will need to make insure that all plumbing after the unit has been sanitized. This will
make sure that all microorganisms have been destroyed. Plumbers often fill the UV chamber with disinfectant and
flush out the pipes. They do this by opening all spigots and allowing the disinfectant to run its course through the
pipes. Professionals should do this because many disinfectants can be harmful or fatal if swallowed.
• Install carbon filters, softeners and reverse osmosis systems BEFORE the UV system. These types of filters can breed
microorganisms.
• Use a flow control device that is rated for your unit's GPM flow rate.
6. Options
Your system may have come with optional equipment. If it did, instructions for these options are attached.
6.1. Quartz Cleaning System
Your system may have come with an optional manual quartz cleaning system. This device will allow you to clean the
quartz sleeve without having to disassemble the disinfection chamber.
I WARNING ! The plunger may be forced out when water pressure builds up. When installing the unit, make sure that
you stand clear of the plunger when pressurizing the system.
In order for the system to work at optimum performance, you must clean the quartz on a periodic basis. To clean
quartz, pull the plunger toward you and then push it in again. Do this a few times a month.
You may need to change the o-rings on the wiper on a periodic basis. Please open the system once a year to inspect
the quartz and the wiper rings.
6.2. Automatic Shut-off Valve aka Normally Closed Solenoid
Your system may have come with an optional automatic solenoid valve.
This device will stop the water flow if the UV lamp goes out or if the UV intensity falls. It is considered a "normally
closed" valve. This means that when there is no power to it, it closes. This will occur during a power outage or lamp
failure.
The solenoid will work off of a signal from_ the ballast, which indicates lamp out. If lamp fails, then the solenoid will shut
off the water supply.
The solenoid will also work off of a signal from the UV monitor, when the UV intensity has fallen to an unsafe level. In
the event of water stoppage, you will need to correct the problems.
Reasons for stoppage include: Power failure, Lamp is out, Ballast is out, UV lamp is failing, Solenoid is damaged
There is a manual override on some of the valves. Call your water professional in case of an emergency. The manual
valve is a white toggle switch. In order to open the valve, it must have power. This is generally provided by the UV
system, but in emergencies, power can be brought directly to the valve.
The main power box control will have leads for attaching the solenoid. These leads will need to be connected to the
leads on the actual solenoid valve. The solenoid will have come with connectors.
The solenoid valve will have an arrow on it indicating flow direction. Please install it the solenoid so that
the path of the water goes with the arrow.

The UV monitoring system has been factory calibrated and should not need to be re -calibrated for many years. If you
experience a problem, use the following procedures to re -install or re -calibrate the system. You will need to keep the
sensor and quartz sleeves clean to get better and more accurate readings. If at all possible, let your water quality
professional do the maintenance.
The sensor head is retained by a black plastic cap on the side of the chamber. The sensor head is plugged into a
matting receptacle on the meter control assembly. Note: any calibration should be made with new UV lamps and clean
quartz sleeves.
Installation and Calibration
• Locate the sensor port on the side of the chamber.
• Insert the O-ring into the port.
• Insert the glass into the port over the O-ring.
• Insert the sensor head and loosely tighten the black retainer cap over the sensor head.
• Connect the sensor to the UV monitor with the plastic clip connectors.
• The meter electronics and face plate will be contained in the control box.
• There are a few styles of meter face plates.
• One incorporates the dose in microwatts and shows: Red, Yellow and Green (representing waming, caution and
good)
• One incorporates a reading from 1 to 100%.
• When working on the electronics remember that 120 VAC is present.
• On the back of the meter face plate is a printed circuit board. On one end of the circuit board there are two thumb
wheels to adjust the meter span and trip point. The thumb wheel in the center of the board is for meter span. The
thumb wheel located near the edge of the board sets the relay trip point.
• To insure that the meter is functioning, turn power on (make sure no water or water pressure is present).
• Watch the meter face and slowly withdraw the sensor away from the holder.
• At the meter reading where the trip point has been factory set, you should hear the relay actuate.
• If the relay does not actuate, you will need to make an adjustment. The adjustment can be made by adjusting the
edge thumb wheel with a precision screwdriver.
• This trip point is where a solenoid or other warning device like an audible alarm will be triggered.
• To lower the meter reading, slowly withdraw the sensor head from the chamber assembly while observing the
meter and listening for the relay click. By inserting and removing the sensor head a little at a time, the meter will
move over the trip point area. Adjust the thumb wheel to the desired setting
• Now, tighten the sensor probe to the chamber.
• The meter reading should be near or above full-scale reading. It may take one to two minutes for the meter to
read full scale.

UV MONITORING SYSTEM OVERVIEW
After 100-hour bum -in, the UV display is procedurally set to Full -Scale (100%). This is done during nominal operating
and water quality conditions. This UV reading is not NIST calibrated to absolute mW/cm2 intensity. It can not be used
directly in calculating dosages. It is simply a relative % of its nominal specified operating performance. Initial setup is
obviously 100 % of nominal performance, since everything is brand new. Subsequently, any decline in UV Relative %
Intensity is likely any combination of:
• fouling quartz sleeves
• fouling UV probe face
• lamp aging
• water quality (% UV Transmission)
• UV detector aging
• eroding electrical connections.
A low UV Relative % Intensity Threshold setting may optionally" be used to activate a Common Alarm.
The UV monitor provides a normally open and a normally closed contact. For instance, the normally closed contact will
keep a normally closed valve open. Upon alarm, it will cut power and close the valve. At the same time, the normally
open could trigger a remote alarm.

6.3.1 UV MONITORING TROUBLE SHOOTING AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The UV monitoring system will require maintenance. The following are some common trouble shooting instructions:
UV meter is reading is low with new system or new lamps
• Check to see if the if the METER SPAN DIAL is rotated clockwise.
• Check to see if the water quality is poor
• If equipped with a wiper, clean the quartz
• Check to see if the sensor is securely connected to the wire coming from the meter box
• Check to see if sensor, sensor glass or oring has been damaged. To do this, you must de -pressurize and
drain the system. When draining, insure that the sensor glass and oring do not get lost or broken. Inspect
each item. The sensor glass should be free from chips, the oring should have no nicks and the sensor should
be dry. Once inspected, thoroughly dry the sensor port on the vessel as well as the quartz window, oring and
sensor. In the event that you damage the window, insert a dime over the oring and then insert the sensor and
tighten.
Once drained, insert the sensor into the port on the vessel and aim at the lamp (wear protective clothing and
eyetface protection). This should allow you to trouble shoot to get some type of reading.
UV meter is reading is low and the system has been operational
• If equipped with a quartz wiper, use it
• If it has been a while since lamp installation, try a new lamp
• Suspect that the sensor window has become fouled. Remove and clean. Insure that everything including
the port has been thoroughly dried.

Alan W. Klimek, P.E. Director
Division of Water Quality
At the Compliance Evaluation Inspection of Shields Mobile Home Park on October 22,
2003, Mike Carson, ORC, requested to move the upstream sample location downstream
approximately 25 feet. Currently, the permit specifies in Part I, Section A that the upstream
sample location for Shields Mobile Home Park wastewater treatment facility is 100 feet above
discharge location, which falls at the Travis Creek Bridge on Highway 87. In order to avoid the
potentially dangerous traffic conditions at the current sample location, Mr. Carson would prefer the
sample location to be moved to 75 feet above discharge location, which is a safer sampling point.
This office agrees that this is an appropriate request. Therefore, Mr. Carson is granted
permission to change sampling locations.
If you have any questions concerning this report, please contact Jenny Freeman or me at
(336) 771-4600.
