Dear Mr. Roberts:
Donald R. van der Vaart
Secretary
On June 18, 2015, Ms. Jenifer Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office conducted a Compliance
Evaluation Inspection at Spring Creek Subdivision's wastewater treatment plant. Charles Pearson, ORC,
and Sam Pegram, back-up ORC, were present during the inspection. The inspection consisted of an on -
site inspection of the treatment facilities and a review of facility files and self -monitoring data. The following
is a summary of findings during the inspection:
A. Facility records (daily logs and maintenance records) are well organized and current. A review of
self -monitoring data showed that laboratory data correctly correlates with data submitted on the
monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports.
B. Calibration of the flow meter was checked on July 18, 2014.
C. Sludge manifests show that 13,600 gallons of sludge were last hauled away on June 24, 2014.
D. Mr. Pearson seems to have a good grasp on how to run the plant as efficiently as possible.
Please refer to the attached report for more inspection details. Should you have any questions please
contact Jenifer Carter in our Winston-Salem Regional Office at (336) 776-9691.

Dear Mr. Roberts:
John E. Skvarla, III
Secretary
On July 16, 2014, Ms. Jenifer Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation
Inspection at Salem Glen and Spring Creek Subdivision's wastewater treatment facilities. Sam Pegram, Back-up ORC,
was present during the inspections. Ryan Smith was also present during the inspection at Spring Creek. The inspections
consisted of an on -site inspection of the treatment facilities and a review of facility files and self -monitoring data. The
following is a summary of fmdings during the inspection:
A. Facility records (daily logs and maintenance records) are well organized and current. A review of self -monitoring data
showed that laboratory data correctly correlates with data submitted on the monthly Discharge Monitoring Reports.
B. The flow meters were calibrated in July 2014 and April 2014 respectively.
C. The sampler tubing at Spring Creek's needed to be replaced.
D. There were floating solids/ pin floc in the clarifiers of both plants. Mr. Pegram did not have a sludge judge on hand to
measure the sludge blanket levels at Salem Glen, though he says he uses settleability to determine wasting needs. Mr.
Smith measured the sludge blanket level at Spring Creek, which was at an acceptable level. The overflow at both plants
was clear.
E. Mr. Pegram and Mr. Smith said they check meter calibrations each morning that meters are used for compliance
monitoring. Make sure that calibrations and calibration checks are recorded as per laboratory certification
requirements.
Please refer to the attached reports for more inspection details. Should you have any questions please contact Jenifer
Carter in our Winston-Salem Regional Office at (336) 771-4957.

Comment: Some floating solids/ pin floc, though overlflow was clear. Mr. Smith obtained a sludge iudge
from another site (the one at the plant was not in working order) and measured the sludge
blanket level, which was acceptable. The amount of floating solids/ pin floc seems to be the
norm for the plant and does not appear to negatively effect treatment I will be interesting to
see if Mr. Smith's techniques for operating the plant change make a difference after he takes
over as ORC.

Dear Mr. Roberts:
On September 26, 2013, Ms. Jenifer Carter of the Winston-Salem Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation
Inspection at Salem Glen and Spring Creek Subdivision's wastewater treatment facilities. Sam Pegram, Back-up ORC,
was present during the inspections. The inspections consisted of an on -site inspection of the treatment facilities and a
review of facility files and self -monitoring data.
A review of the submitted self -monitoring data revealed no permit limits violations at either facility. The following is a
summary of findings during the inspection, with deficiencies noted in bold print.
A) Copies of the permits, maintenance records and self -monitoring data were readily available. There were some
transcription errors, especially with time on site and temperature data. Compliance status was not affected.
B) The flow meters were calibrated in July 2013
C) The thermometer at Spring Creek's effluent sampler registered 7°C, and the thermometer had not been
checked against an NIST thermometer since 2008. Please have the thermometer checked annually and adjust
the temperature of the refrigerated sampler as necessary.
D) There were floating solids/pin floc in the clarifiers of both plants, especially at Salem Glen, though the effluent
leaving the clarifiers was clear. Mr. Pegram had not checked the sludge blanket levels since he started operating
these plants recently (due to the ORC being on medical leave). He promised to do so as soon as possible and take
action as warranted.
E) Mr. Pegram admitted to calibrating his meters only once weekly. Meters should be calibrated within 24-hours
of use and the calibration checked at the end of each day, when used for compliance purposes.
Please refer to the attached reports for more inspection details. Should you have any questions please contact Jenifer
Carter in our Winston-Salem Regional Office at (336) 771-4957.

SLUDGE MANAGEMENT PLAN
For
Aqua North Carolina, Inc.
No sludge will be treated on any wastewater treatment plant site operated
by Aqua N.C., Western Division
Where practical, sludge removed from an Aqua N.C., Western Division
facility will be transported via a contract hauler to another Aqua N.C.,
Western Division facility for the purpose of "seeding" a new or under
loaded plant.
Unusable (or "dead") sludge will be removed by a contract hauler and
properly disposed of in accordance with NCGS 143-215.1. Contract
haulers used by Aqua N.C., Western Division will be required to report the
quantity of sludge transported and identify the location of the proposed
disposal site if the sludge is not taken to an existing plant operated by Aqua
N.C., Western Division. Aqua N.C., Western Division has not entered into
any agreement to accept sludge into its facilities from plants not owned by
them.
