Daily Maximum Fecal Coliform 5/27/2016 &6/2/2016
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 samples were taken
on 5/27 at approximately 8:00 am and on 6/2 at approximately 7:00 am. On both occasions a
laboratory courier picked up the samples and took them back for analysis. Proper sampling
procedures were followed by plant personnel. We received the first laboratory report the
afternoon of 6/1. The second test result was given by email on 6/3. The result of the first
analysis showed a value of>2420 colonies per 100m1. The second test analysis showed a value
of>600 colonies per 100 ml. The fecal coliform excursion on both days was limited to that
sample parameter. All other parameters were within permitted limits. A phone call was placed
to the NCDWR regional office on 6/2 & 6/3.
Once we received the value from the laboratory analysis for the 5/27 sample all systems in the
treatment facility were checked. They were found to be operating correctly leading up to and
during the time of sample. After the second test analysis was received these systems were once
again checked but nothing abnormal was observed. We are continuing our in depth investigation
into the cause of these results. This includes laboratory QA/QC and also reaching out to the
National Council on Air& Stream Improvement (NCASI) to see if other mills are seeing
abnormal test results when all systems are operating normally and no disruption has occurred. If
