Daily Maximum Fecal Coliform 8/16/2013
NPDES Permit: NC0000272
Dear Mr. Cranford:
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
8/16 at approximately 9:15 am and delivered to the laboratory for analysis. Proper sampling
procedures were followed by plant personnel. The wastewater treatment plant supervisor, Roger
Edwards,was informed of the result the afternoon of 8/17. The result of the analysis showed a
value of>600 colonies per 100ml. The fecal coliform excursion on 8/16 was limited to that
sample parameter and day. All other effluent parameters were within permit requirements. A
phone call was placed to the NCDWQ Regional office on 8/17 at approximately 2:30 pm.
On Monday 8/12, the Canton area experienced a heavy rainfall event resulting in over two inches
of rain within a 35 minute period. Flow to the wastewater treatment plant, from the town and
mill, peaked at approximately 50 million gallons. In order to manage flow and protect plant
operations the plant's spare primary clarifier was partially filled. After the event, flow
normalized and the spare clarifier was slowly drained back into the treatment process over the
next three days. This material from the spare clarifier was from the first flush of the rainfall
event and believed to hold the most concentrated waste. All systems were operating as designed
during this time with current process trends indicating compliance for the remainder of the
month. /
