Daily Maximum Fecal Coliform 6/16/2016
NPDES Permit: NC0000272
Dear Mr. Davidson:
This is the 5-day written submission for the subject monitoring result required by NPDES permit
Standard Conditions Section E: 6(a). The secondary effluent fecal coliform sample was taken on
6/16 at approximately 11:35 am and picked up by the laboratory for analysis. Proper sampling
procedures were followed by plant personnel. We received the laboratory report via email the
afternoon of 6/17. The result of the analysis showed a value of 435 MPN per 100 ml. The fecal
coliform excursion on 6/16 was limited to that sample parameter and day. A phone call was
placed to the NCDEQ regional office on 6/17.
Once we received the value from the laboratory all systems in the treatment facility were
inspected. They were found to be operating correctly leading up to and during the time of
sample. The Town of Canton's chlorine injection system was also inspected.
Per our conversation today with Tim Heim of the regional office, we are continuing our in depth
investigation into the cause of these recent results. If an identified source or cause is determined,
a follow up notice to your office will occur describing the results of our findings.
If you have any questions or comments,please feel free to contact us at your earliest
convenience.
