Subject: Compliance Sampling Inspection
Carolina Glove Co. WWI?
NPDES Permit No. NCO034967
Alexander County, NC
Dear Ms. Mecimore:
Enclosed please find a'copy of the Compliance Sampling Inspection Report for the inspection
conducted at the subject facility on August 3, 2004, by Mr. Wes Bell of this Office. Please inform the
facility's Operator-in-Responsible,Charge of our findings by forwarding a copy of the enclosed report.
The results of the effluent sampling will be forwarded toyouunder separate letter.
The ORC indicated difficulty obtaining accurate flow measurements based on the bucket and stop
watch method due to the facility's infrequent discharges. Therefore, the ORC has incorporated both the
facility's water usage readings and -the flow rates.based on the bucket and stop watch method to determine
the effluent flow. If it can be documented that water usage data are -an accurate reflection of
influent/effluent flow to the WWTP, then a variance request may be submitted to this office to the attention
of Mr: Richard Bridgeman.
The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions concerning the
report, please do not hesitate to contact Mr. Bell or me at [phone].
Sincerely,
D. Rex Gleason, P.E. '
