SUBJECT: September 17, 2010 Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Aqua North Carolina Inc

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.
