Section D: Summary of Findings/Comments:
1. The County contracts the operations of the wastewater treatment plant to "American Water Services".
2. Wastewater from Camp McCall is received into the headworks of the facility by one designated pipe.
Fifty five (55) gallon barrels are located at the headworks which contain wastewater from various
industries. It is suggested to analyze samples from those barrels from time to time to eliminate
toxins or overload to the wastewater plant.
3. A new automatic bar screen had been installed since the last inspection. It appeared to be operational.
Screenings are disposed of through the Uwharrie Environmental landfill.
4. The facility accepts septage from various sites. The septage is discharged into a manhole at the •
headworks of the plant.
5. The grit removal system was not operational. As per staff plans are to either repair or replace this
component. It is recommended to place a system in service as soon as possible to remove grit
from the influent. Please respond in writing to our office with a plan of action by March 30. 2001.
6. The influent composite sampler temperature was 2.8 degrees Celsius. The temperature was adequate.
7. Two blowers are used at the headworks of the plant to add aeration. One blower is normally all that is
needed for post aeration. One blower is not operational. To ensure an aeration system is in place a
recommendation to repair the one that is not operational in case the other is down or purchase
a new one to have as a backup. Please respond in writing to our office with a plan of action by
March 30. 2001.
8. The two (2) primary clarifiers appeared to be operational with 1 '/z feet of sludge in both clarifiers with
a tank depth of 15 feet.
9. The first stage aeration basins appeared to be operational. This component of treatment has 4
compartments. Three compartments are utilized for treating the wastewater. The fourth compartment
is out of service because it is not needed at this time. Some foam noted but not excessive. The Mixed,
Liquor Suspended Solids (MLSS) results on the day of the inspection was 2100 mg/L. The Royce
Model 711 is used to analyze MLSS.
10. The two (2) intermediate clarifiers appeared to be operating adequately.
11. The second stage aeration basins appeared to be operating adequately. Lime is added to this area when
additional treatment is needed. The silos which store the lime have paint worn from their surfaces.
These,components should be maintained as part of maintaining the facility. As stated in item #9,
three (3) compartments of the four (4) compartment system is being utilized. Polymer is added at the
end of the aeration to assist with solids settling. Twelve (12) pounds per day of polymer is used.
12. The two (2) final clarifiers appeared to be operational. The clarifiers are cleaned by Ford Hall Brushes
which are attached to the skimmer arms. This system cleans the walls cotistantly. Some of the brushes
appeared to be worn. Replacement of these brushes could increase the quality of the wastewater
discharged. The sludge depths in each clarifier was 6 inches with a tank depth of 15 feet.
Page 2
February 26, 2001
13. The chlorine contact tank appeared to be clean. As per Mr. Frye thisarea had been cleaned a week
before the inspection. The chlorine is not flow paced. It is recommended to install a system for flow
paced chlorine which would assist with treatment and decrease chemical cost. Presently ten (10)
pounds of chlorine is added per million gallons of wastewater.
14. Sulfur Dioxide is used to dechlorinate the effluent.
15. Two (2) effluent pumps are located at the end of the chlorine contact tank to pump .the effluent to
Aberdeen Creek One pump was leaking water. Mr. Frye communicated during the inspection that plans
are to replace this pump. It is recommended to replace this pump as soon as possible. Please
respond in writing to our office with a plan of action by March 30.2001. Piping in this area has
worn paint from the surface. Painting of these surfaces in the near future could eliminate major
repairs in the future.
16. The effluent outfall was easily accessible.
17. The effluent composite sampler refrigerator temperature was 2.1 degrees Celsius. The effluent
composite sampler is flow proportional with constant volume and variable time.
18. The DAF units are not utilized at this time.
19. Wasting from the clarifiers is on the average of 50,000 gallons/day.
20. Sludge from the primary, intermediate and final clarifiers flows to the primary digester where it is heated
up to 99 degrees Celsius and travels to the top of the digester. After the sludge is heated it is pumped
to the secondary digester where it goes to the drying beds. The facility has 36 drying beds. Some
vegetative growth was noted in some of the drying beds. These areas should be cleaned and maintained
to ensure proper drying of the sludge. The facility has applied for a permit to land apply sludge. The
permit has not been issued awaiting for additional information from the facility.
21. The influent flow meter is used to report on the Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs). The meter was
calibrated August 4, 2000 by "Carolina Technical Services, Inc". As stated in the calibration report the
% error is 0.
22. The facility has a certified laboratory on site which analyzes most NPDES permitrequired parameters.
All other parameters are analyzed by the commercial laboratory "TBL".
23. Laboratory. records were reviewed for the months May and June 2000 and compared to DMRs. All
reviewed data appeared to be accurately reported.
•
24. A compliance evaluation analysis report for the period January through November 2000 did not reveal
any monthly violations and our records did not reveal any weekly violations.

25. As a reminder as per our Administrative Code Section: 15A N CAC 2B .0506(b)(3)(F)(i)-the date. on
which collection of composite samples is commenced or data shall be entered onto the monitoring report
form on the date that has the greater number of hours in it. The following examples will assist you in
understanding the reporting date:
A. If the composite sample is started on Tuesday, January 2, 2001 at 9:OOAM and the sample is
withdrawn from the composite sampler on Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 9:00AM; the day
with the greater number of hours in it is Tuesday, January 2, 2001.
If the composite sample is started on Tuesday, January 2, 2001 at 6:OOPM and the sample is
withdrawn from the composite sampler on Wednesday, January 3, 2001 at 6:OOPM; the day
with the greater number of hours in it is Wednesday, January 3, 2001.

Dear Ms. Henson:
RECEIVED
7 2001
The purpose of this letter is to respond to several items that were noted in the inspection report for the
Moore County Wastewater facility. for February 2, 2001. I wilt cover each one of the notes that were
added in Section D in your inspection letter with our plan of action to correct the deficiencies.
We have contacted the manufacturer of the chemicals that were in the drums noted i i lfe' .2-of
Section D in your letter. They have given us the MSDS sheets on all of the chemicals and none show
any harmful side effects that may cause any violation of the permit limits on the plant. We have also
moved them to one of the concrete drying beds so they can be fed into the plant without any chance of
an uncontrolled discharge. Also, by feeding them through the sand any solids will be -filtered and
removed before,they,enter:theiplantinfluent
t , i C-
Item" of Section D you;ask about the:plaris for improving the:Grit Removal,System: We have_.•
•-.al•ready ieceived approvai,from2the:county coinini"ssioners'to replace'th grit removal system in the
2000`-2�001 budget, but there is a concern on what new system to install. We are currently involved in a
201. study;and. an upgrade of the facility will be underway in the,next few. years and. we, must make sure
what we do now will work with the •plans in the future. At the present, we are keeping track of the
blanket that is accumulating in the tanks and ifthey'get to alevel that there may be some carry over to
downstream equipment the countywill supply a vacuum truck to'remove the solids. They will be
placed on the drying beds and properly disposed of in the landfill. This method is working well and
will be used until a final decision is made on the upgrade. We will keep you informed. on the progress
of this project..
The blower that is listed i Item 7 of Section D that is out of service at the headworks has a
replacement in. the 'shop that was purchased this year and will be installed within the next month.
In tellx `"1 Il of Section D you ask about the plans for painting the Lime Silos at the Chemical Building.
The county has been notified of the need to paint the Lime Silos and there is a plari.to put this in the
coming 2001-2002 fiscal years budget.
The equipment to make,the chlorine flow paced, as requested Section-D, has been
purchased and there are_plans to put the installation into the coming 2001-2002. fiscal years budget:
Because of the need to do extensive wiring and flow signal identification weare not able. to perform the
work ourse•lves.• These Onntps, -are nothsedtp,pumR effluent tothe riVeKbut-th'SencifeCYcled water 'through the plant for

middle of this month. The other will then be taken out and replaced with a new pump. The lengthy
time frame on replacing them is because of the need to change the piping because there are no pumps
made now that fit the old designs.
I would like to note that we have been using the reporting method you covered in Item;#25 -Section D
since the last inspection by Dale Lopez. We had not been inforined of this type reporting before that
time but all reports since then have followed those instructions. Also, there were no ma kslmade7on th :
last tWo—pages of your Facility_ Site_ Review report. I do not know if this was an error or the information
was not reviewed.
When the projects listed in this letter have been completed we will notify you in writing and by
telephone.. If you have any questions or comments please call me at 910-281-3146.
