Dear Mr Harwood:
Enclosed please find a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report from the inspection conducted on
April 26, 2007 by Hughie White of the Fayetteville Regional Office. The facility was found to be in Compliance -
with permit NC0061719. As a reminder, since Aqua North Carolina has recently contracted operation of the
Woodlake facility to Envirolink, a new ORC designation form needs to be submitted to the Division on behalf of
Mr. Lamm.
Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional observations and comments. If you or your staff has,
any questions, please call me at 910-433-3308.

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Laboratory data was reviewed. All data appeared to be correct as reported on the DMR's. Calibration
records were properly documented. When needed, sludge disposal is performed by McGiII Environmental.
As part of the inspection, a review for Field Parameter Certification was performed. All requirements for that
certification appeared to be met. Since the last inspection, this facility has been issued a new NPDES
permit. The new permit states that a Total Residual Chlorine limit will become effective on December 1,
2007. There are' no plans to intall a de -chlorination unit at this facility. Instead, the tentative plans are to
eliminate the liquid disinfection unit and install an ultraviolet disinfection unit. Please be advised that this
new unit would need to be in place by December 1 of this year.
