Permit: WQ0006245 Owner - Facility: City of Statesville
Inspection Date: 05/17/2021 Inspection Type : Annual Report Review
Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
This is an AR review for permit WQ0006245. A site visit was not conducted as a part of this review.
The SAR and PAN calculation issue for 2019 appears to have been corrected.
The issue from 2019 with samples being shipped at incorrect temperatures has been addressed. Although not all of the
C.O.C.s indicates that samples are being shipped on ice, the lab receiving records indicate that samples from the WWTP
are being received at the correct temperature.
A spot check of the SAR and PAN calculations indicate the values presented are within the acceptable range of error.
Therefore, the MRO will accept the data present in the AR for PAN and SAR.
The permittee provides information to the receiver regarding how the residual material is to be handled. The MRO is
requesting that a copy of the material provided to the residuals receiver be submitted to the MRO for our records.

Comment: Lime stabilization records are included in the AR. The Lime Stabilization records support the
facility's claims that adequate reduction has occurred to create enough pathogen reduction to
qualify the residaul as a Class "A" product.
