Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
On 07/20/2021 and 07/22/2021, Lauren Armeni and Stephanie Williams conducted a Bioassay
Compliance Inspection at Maggie Valley WWTP. Whole Effluent samples were split for use in a
chronic ceriodaphnia dubia pass-fail toxicity test. The toxicity test passed for both the Division's
samples (analyzed by our Bioassay Laboratory in Raleigh) and Maggie Valley's samples (analyzed
by Environmental Testing Solutions, Inc.). Toxicity test information follows:
Test Type 3-Brood Ceriodaphnia dubia chronic pass-fail
Test Result Pass Test Concentrations 6%
Control Survival 100%
Control Mean Reproduction 27.7 neonates
Test Treatment Survival 100%
Treatment Mean Reproduction 28.3 neonates
First Sample pH 6.98 SU
First Sample Conductivity 343 micromhos/cm
First Sample Total Residual Chlorine <0.2 mg/L
Second Sample pH 6.78 SU
Second Sample Conductivity 3.26 micromhos/cm
Second Sample Total Residual Chlorine <0.2 mg/L
Test results for the above samples indicate that the effluent would not be predicted to have water
quality impacts on the receiving water. No violations of permit requirements or applicable regulations
were observed during this inspection.
