Sullins Dee Freeman Governor Director Secretary October 6, 2010 Aqua North Carolina Inc Attn: Roger Tupps 202 Mackenan Dr Cary, NC 27511 SUBJECT: September 17, 2010 Compliance Evaluation Inspection Aqua North Carolina Inc Woodlake Country Club WWTP Permit No: NC0061719 Moore County Dear Mr. Tupps: Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection form from the inspection conducted on September 17, 2010. The Compliance Evaluation Inspection was conducted by Trent Allen, Environmental Engineer, and Mark Brantley, Environmental Chemist, of the Fayetteville Regional Office. The cooperation of Mr. Roger Tubbs and Mr. Chris Purvis, Facility ORC, was greatly appreciated. The facility was found to be in Compliance with permit NC0061719. As a reminder, preservation of the Waters of the State can only be achieved through consistent NPDES Permit compliance. Comments • Maintenance records, ORC log books, and Laboratory records were well kept and appeared to be up to date at the time of the inspection. • However at the time of the inspection, the effluent leaving the chlorine contact chamber was very turbid. During the inspection it was noted that the company is considering the addition of a clarifier to help produce a better quality effluent. Currently it appears that the chlorine contact chamber is acting as both a chlorine contact chamber and a clarifier. For the time period beginning January 2008 through July 2010 this facility has had 17 fecal violations. The division encourages Aqua to move forward with designing and securing the proper permits for the installation of a clarifier to assist in treatment of wastewater and to ensure NPDES permit compliance.
