Section D: Summary of Findings/Comments:
1.. The facility is an extended aeration package wastewater treatment system. Heater Utilities, Inc.,
purchased this facility last year. They have been operating and maintaining it.
2. A new "ORC" (Landon McCraw) has been named for this facility as of May 2000, with Tim Thomas
as the "Backup Operator". Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) designation form has been
completed and sent to NC DENR/DWQ Training and Certification.
3. Two (2) force mains bring the influent flow into the plant. The influent is made up of domestic
wastewater from the country club and resort area. The influent pumps operate on a float system
which is determined by the flow height in.a wet well. Ten (10) lift stations are present in this system.
4. Plans are to expand the facility from 0.5 MGD to 1.0 MGD within the next five (5) years.
5. A portable generator was on site to supply power to the facility and the lift stations. Generators can
be supplied by the Company and brought on site when needed.
6. The manual bar screen was operational. The bar screen appeared to have paint completely worn
from the surface. This area should be maintained to eliminate further repairs in the future. Screenings
are disposed of through the county landfill. This is the second inspection in which bar screen need
of repair comments have been stated.
7. Magnesium hydroxide is fed by drops for pH adjustment into the influent. The influent pH has a
tendency to be low.
8. The next phase of treatment is through aerated modules (aeromod complex mix system) which flow
into a clarifier area that the solids settle and the effluent flows out one pipe and the sludge out of
another pipe. Four (4) blowers are used in the aeration of the wastewater. Two (2) are used as
backup systems and the remaining two (2) are online at all times.
9. Chlorine is added for disinfection. Effluent is added before it flows into the chlorine contact tank. The
chlorine contact tank was monitored for sludge depths during the inspection. The tank is eight (8) feet
deep. One side can be shut down for cleaning while the other is treating the wastewater. Various
areaon both sides were monitored for sludge depths. The results were from less than (<) one (1) foot
to two (2) feet deep. A recommendation would be to clean the chlorine contact tank when any area
is above one (1) foot of sludge. A sludge judge was on site. The walkway and handrail appeared to
have worn paint from the surfaces. Maintaining these surfaces could prevent major repairs in the
future.
10. The effluent was free of solids and clear in color.
11. The effluent is discharged into Crain's Creek. The effluent outfall has been located by Mr. McCraw.
12. The sludge from the clarifiers is discharged to the aerobic sludge digestion. Approximately every two
(2) months, sludge is pumped out by Donavan Pumping Company and taken to Moore Regional

Section D: Summary of Findings/Comments (continued):
Wastewater Treatment Plant and applied onto the drying beds at this site and taken to the landfill after
adequate drying occurs. Facility is working on obtaining a land application permit for this particular
facility.
13. The effluent flow meter was calibrated July 25, 2000, by BW Allen Company. It is advisable that the
flow meter calibration document contain the % error before and after calibration in the future by the
technician. The flow meter is a Stevens 61 R Model. Flow is measured through the 90 Degrees V
notch weir.
14. The effluent composite sampler is a refrigerated stationary effluent composite sampler:
15. Operation and maintenance records were on site at this facility. The records also included pump
operations each day for all lift stations. These records began in 1999 when the facility was brought
by Heater Utilities, Inc.
16. The NPDES permit was available upon request.
17. The following NPDES permit required parameters are analyzed on site: Temperature, pH, Dissolved
Oxygen and Chlorine Residual. Calibration records and analysis methods were reviewed and
appeared to be adequate. All other required parameters are analyzed by the contract laboratory,
Chemical and Environmental Technology, in Cary, North Carolina.
18. Laboratory records were reviewed for July 2000 through September 2000 and compared to Discharge
Monitoring Reports (DMRs). All records appeared to be accurate. The facility had laboratory records
on site from December 1999 to present. As a reminder, facilities are required to have at least three
(3) years of records on site.
19. A compliance evaluation analysis report for the period October 1999 through September 2000
revealed effluent pH violations for the month of November 1999.
20. As a reminder as per our Administrative Code Section: 15A NCAC 2b .0506(b)(3)(F)(I) - the date on
which collection of composite samples is commended 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, May 2, 2000, at 9:00 am, and the sample is
withdrawn from the composite sampler on Wednesday, May 3, 2000, at 9:00 am, the day with
the greater number of hours in it is Tuesday, May 2, 2000.

Section D: Summary of Findings/Comments (continued):
If the composite sample is started on Tuesday, May 2, 2000, at 6:00 pm, and the sample is
withdrawn from the composite sampler on. Wednesday, May 3, 2000, at 6:00 pm, the day with
the greater number of hours in it is Wednesday, May 3, 2000.
