The secondary effluent fecal coliform sample was taken the morning of 8/14. Proper sampling procedures were followed by plant personnel. The sample was then sent to an off-site laboratory for testing. The wastewater treatment plant supervisor, Roger Edwards, was informed of the preliminary result the morning of 8/17. A phone call was then placed to Janet Cantwell in the NCDWQ Regional office to discuss the preliminary results from the laboratory. The official laboratory report was received on 8/27. The result of the analysis showed 600 colonies per 100ml. Lab supervisor and ORC, John Pryately, completed a QA review of the contract laboratory data prior to this notification. The fecal coliform excursion on 8/14 was limited to that sample parameter and day. All other effluent parameters were within permit requirements.
