May 13, 2020: Reported non-compliance for exceedance of enterococci
related to a discoloration of the wastewater that impacted the
effectiveness of the ultraviolet (UV) disinfection process. The
discoloration was a result of.a release of cyanide laden wastewater
from a triple rinsing process to clean totes by an industrial
tenant. This rinse water was directly released to the industrial
sewer to our industrial wastewater pre-treatment plant (IWTP) where
it was diverted to clarifiers for treatment to avoid a pass
through. No exceedances of our established pretreatment limit for

cyanide occurred. A Notice of Violation letter, NOV-2020-LV-0517,
was issued by NCDEQ for the parameter exceedance on September 8,
2020.
July 2020: Reported several instances of non-compliance for
exceedance of the daily maximum limit for enterococci on July 20
and 21. Plus an exceedance of the geometric mean for the monthly of
July 2020. The exceedances were.determined to be caused by a
backflow issue from the holding tank of the reclaimed water
irrigation system that was'allowing biological growth in the tank
to leak by and impact the samples from the post aeration basin. A
Notice of Violation letter, NOV-2020-LV-0654, was issued by NCDEQ
for the parameter exceedances on January 26, 2021.
