Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
On November 5, 2020 staff of the North Carolina Division of Water Resources Winston-Salem Regional Office (DWR)
performed an announced routine compliance inspection of the City of Reidsville's residuals land application program. This
inspection was conducted by DWR staff member Jim Gonsiewski. Mr. Brent Collins of EMA Resources was present during
this inspection. The inspection reflects compliance with the permit.
The inspection strated at the WWTP. Three 7.200-gallon tankers were used to transport residuals Observed one tanker
loading up residuals from the two 1,000,000-gallon concrete digesters. No spillage. No staining of the asphalt or tracking of
sludge out of the WWTP was observed.
Arrived at application field (NC-RC-005-1). A rain gauge was observed in the field. The terrain was slightly hilly with the
slopes ranging from 3% to 6%. The solids content in the residuals was 0.98%. The field was properly flagged. No runoff or
ponding of residuals from previous spreading was observed. Two 4,200 gallon tractor pulled spreaders were applying
residuals. The O&M plan and the permit were present. The O&M plan was adequate. Each truck also had an O&M plan and
maps.
The residual spreading was good. No additional run off or ponding was observed. Proper buffers were
maintained. No problems noted with the transfer of residuals from tankers to spreaders.
