Klimek, P.E., Director Division of Water Quality March 22, 2005 Michael Uskiewicz City of Dunn PO Box 1065 Dunn, NC 28335 SUBJECT: March 18, 2005 Compliance Evaluation Inspection City of Dunn Dunn WTP Permit No: NC0078955 Harnett County Dear Mr. Uskiewicz: Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report from the inspection conducted on March 18, 2005 by Mike Lawyer of the Fayetteville Regional Office. The inspection revealed the following items, which must be addressed. The chlorine meter being used for the weekly chlorine monitoring must be calibrated either annually with a five -point curve or before each use with a three-point curve. Documentation of this calibration must be kept in a manner in which it can be presented upon request by an inspector. There was no ORC visitation log. It was suggested during the inspection that Mr. Glover initial the daily operations and maintenance book on those days that he is present at the plant. Also, the Dunn WTP is required to either attain a certification to perform the upstream and downstream monitoring of turbidity or have another facility that is currently certified to perform the tests. Information on attaining certification for specific parameters can be found under the Laboratory Section of our website, located at the bottom of this page. Please respond to this office in writing as to your plans to address the aforementioned items by April 30, 2005. Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. If you or your staff has any questions, please call me at 910-486-1541, ext. 729.

During the inspection it was noted that the chlorine meter is not being calibrated and that there was no ORC visitation log. The chlorine meter must be calibrated either annually with a five point curve or before each test with a three point curve. Personnel at the Dunn WWTP can assist in this calibration. It is suggested that the ORC initial the daily maintenance book with which the Back-up ORC's have been signing on the days he is present at the plant. At the time of inspection, the grounds of the plant appeared to be well -maintained and the discharge coming over the weir at the return pump basin was clear.

Dear Mr. Lawyer: DENR -- Fr Yr i I EV;LLE REGIONAL OFFICE I am responding, to the corrections we need to make for our NPDES permit. have reviewed all the recommended changes in your Evaluation Report. 1. The Chlorine Meter at the WTP is going to be Calibrated Annually with a 5 Point Calibration Curve. We will keep this record on file for review. The WWTP is currently performing this test for us in the 15 minute hold time allowed for Total Chlorine Residuals. 2. The ORC Visitation Log issue will be handled by my signing the Operators Daily Logbook each day. I am typically on the job 5 days a week. I will have the Backup ORC sign in on the days I am not at the Plant for vacation or sickness related absences. 3. The Upstream and Downstream Monitoring, for Turbidity is currently being performed by Chemical and Environmental Tech. A Certified Lab in Cary, NC. The City of Dunn is currently a member of the Middle Cape Fear River Basin Association. I am hoping this contract removes us from the requirement of having to sample for up and downstream monitoring. Attached is a copy of our contract with the MCRBA. Also attached is a copy of the Operators Daily Log Sheet with my signature as the ORC signed in. bald A4Amarica City 1 Home ofMaj. Gen. William C.
