Hi Kristin,
I've attached the staff report and inspection report for Pigeon Valley Rest Home (Also available on Laserfiche).
A few items. The facility class I believe has already been addressed. The Permit has had the wrong flow (0.03 MGD
should be 0.025 MGD) listed since the 2010 renewal (according to the records I have, it doesn't appear an increase in
flow was requested during the last modification). With a permitted flow of 0.025 MGD, they are at 85% capacity based
on last years flows.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or to discuss further!

Hey Kristin,
I should be completed with my inspection report and staff report on Monday of next week with all of my
comments/suggestions included.
This is a Class II facility (as I believed someone may have mentioned in a previous email). Also, I'm trying to clarify the
permitted flow. This facility was permitted at 0.025 MGD in 2006, went through and upgrade (but no increase in flow
requested) and some how ended up with 0.03 MGD in the permit in the 2010 renewal. I believe they are still supposed
to be at 0.025 MGD and if that is the case, they are running at approximately 80% capacity.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Inspector, Mikal Willmer with the Asheville Regional Office, conducted a compliance evaluation
inspection of the Silver Bluff Village WWTP on March 18, 2020. This inspection was conducted in
conjunction with the facility's NPDES permit renewal and to determine whether it is being operated and
maintained in compliance. Joedavid Hall, ORC, was present and assisted in the inspection.
Facility appeared to be in compliance at the time of the inspection; however, the following need to be
addressed to maintain compliance.
This facility is showing age related wear (rusting). ORC reports he has not noticed bypassing of
treatment units due to metal failure from corrosion; however, the entire plant should be structurally
evaluated and should be repainted and cleaned to extend its overall life expectancy.
Maintenance Items:
Structural Integrity & Safety: All hoses, piping and grating that can be moved should be stored out of th
walkways to reduce trip/fall hazards for the ORC and maintenance staff. Facility has one rectangular
clarifier (part of original package plant) and one circular clarifier. Plumbing was configured to allow for
operation of these clarifiers in parallel or in series. Clarifiers have been run in series for at least a
decade due to the lack of functionality of the rectangular clarifier. It is primarily utilized as additional
settling before flow into the circular clarifier.
Post Aeration: ORC reports they do not have post aeration in the dechlor chamber. According to
records there was aeration within the dechlor chamber, but notes indicate it was oversized for the
contact chamber. ORC states he does not have issues maintaining DO in the effluent. The facility
IWC is less than 1 %.
Alarms: All audio and visual alarms are operational. Recommended ORC checks these more
frequently since there is no remote telemetry and visual alarms are hidden behind the WWTP fencing.
Scum Skimmer: The skimmer and rake arm are operational within the circular clarifier; however, the
scum pump is not operational. Maintenance staff are trying to determine the cause and repair;
however, the ORC reports this is hindered by not being able to take the clarifier off-line. No apparent
buildup of scum within the circular clarifier. Environmental Inc. staff routinely waste and clean the
circular clarifier.
ORC reported the WWTP has difficulties handling the recent increased flows. Flow increase since
2017 is approximately 6,000 gallons (0.015 MGD to 0.021 MGD). The ORC has requested the Silver
Bluff staff assess water usage and potential sources of extraneous flow into the system. This facility
serves several buildings. Please also note, this facility was designed to handle 0.25 MGD, not 0.03
MGD as shown in the permits since 2010. The modification to the facility in 2009 was only expected to
increase flow capacity by 2000 gallons and no additional allotment of flow was requested at that time.
This means the facility is currently receiving 85% of their design capacity. Silver Bluff staff are required
to determine whether an increase in hydraulic capacity (modification to existing WWTP) is warranted
or whether flows can be reduced.
Deemed collection system and Silver Bluff interference: Please note, any rags used within the nursing
facility by facility staff are to be placed in the trash, not flushed down the toilet. This is causing undue
stress and maintenance on the WWTP. Facility staff should reassess practices to reduce wear on the
WWTP treatment units.

Comment: Influent arinder (installed before manual bar screen) should be removed from the Dermit as i
hasn't been used in years and facility does not wish to replace it. This is not an essential
operational item. Facility does not have a digester, but an aerated sludge holding tank. ORC
reports there is no post aeration. There is a small effluent lift station before it is discharged
into the Pigeon River.

Pigeon Valley rest home
Kristin, I appreciate the chance to comment on this permit, I have a Dr. appointment that day and I will not be able to
attend the meeting. PWS's involvement in NPDES permits should be limited to comments and then you can decide
whether you change the permit based on our comments. We feel that it is best that your department make the final
decision with this permit. Again thank you for allowing us to comment. I am confident that this permit will address all
concerns and protect the Pigeon River and the Town of Canton's intake.
Thanks again !
Nicole
