City of Monroe WWTP
WQ0001346 - Land Application of Residuals
WQ0032605 - Bulk Reclaimed Water System
Union County
Staff of the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) conducted compliance inspections for the
referenced permits on May 11th, 2021. The inspections included the WWTP residuals
processing, records, storage and active land application at field NC-UN-18-08; and, the WWTP
bulk reclaimed water system.
Field conditions noted at the time of inspection:
Field appeared properly flagged, spreader vehicle appeared well maintained and to apply
evenly. Minor odors and flies were detected at the staging area.
Y-yes N-no NE -not evaluated NA -not applicable
Y Permit on site during application
Y Buffers adequate
Y Site condition adequate
N Signs of runoff / ponding
Are there any limiting slopes on fields?
NA 10 % for surface application
Y Odors Present
Y Spill plan on site
Y Cover crop specified in permit
N Documented exceedances of PAN limits
Y Rain gauge on site during application
NA 18% for subsurface application
Y Vectors Present
The following items are noted to maintain overall residuals program compliance:
• While only minimal odors and flies were detected, they may be related to exposed cake
residuals storage as the City of Monroe does not have a covered storage area for their
dewatered cake. Exposure during rain events may contribute to odors (and vector
attraction) even when analytical data meets requirements. MRO staff has recommended
covered storage during previous inspections and enquired whether that was part of

future upgrades. Per discussion with Kyle Ketchum, he has noted the issue, but covered
storage is not in the current engineering plans.
MRO staff also noted how full the residuals area was with older material. Given current
dry weather, Mr. Ketchum anticipated that most of their storage pad would soon be
cleared and some older material may be hauled to a landfill. He also stated that
encroaching vegetation behind the residuals storage would be cut -back for easier
access/viewing.
• This letter will also serve as the Acknowledgement of Receipt of the 2020 AR. MRO
staff enquired about a copy during the site visit and was informed by Mr. Ketchum the
City of Monroe was unable to scan and upload via the Non -Discharge Electronic
submittal, so mailed three paper copies as with past reporting. MRO staff confirmed with
our Central Office staff those copies were received on February 28th, 2021, one copy
was sent to the MRO and the document was scanned for electronic storage in our public
data base. Upon review, the MRO has no further questions concerning the annual
report; however, the following items are noted for correction to avoid future issues:
1) All sample Chain of Custodies (COCs) should show relinquish date and time. The
time is not entered on many COCs. And the most current laboratory COC should be
utilized to limit confusion. Lab sampling for Waypoint Laboratory was submitted on
COCs with the former A&L logo.
2) All reporting should be reviewed to ensure hold times are met. The TCLP data show
samples received within the hold time, but the lab analyses for semi -volatile and
pesticide compounds were flagged as not completed within the hold times. This
appears to be a lab error, but could result in future violations. All results were
reported as not detected.
Residuals results sampled on 7-22-2020, show received in lab on 7-27-2020 and
may have been out of hold time for some parameters; however, this data was not
utilized in any of the reporting calculations so is not a violation.
In future reporting, submit the complete lab reports (cover letters, QA/QC data,
COCs and Sample Receipt Forms) as not all information is available on the data
results page.
3) Include PAN and SAR final results on the RSSF-B (summary form) in future annual
reports. This item is noted as the Annual Report Instructions state all sample results
are to be noted on the form. Please continue to submit all supporting calculations
and spreadsheets. It is also recommended you add the spreadsheet equation for
SAR on your form as you have done with your ESP calculations spreadsheet.
4) Soil reports show some CEC's near 15%, monitor and discuss with an agronomist or
soil scientist for assistance.
The following item is noted to maintain overall reclaimed water program compliance:
The reclaimed water system has not been utilized, but appeared to be adequately maintained at
the time of inspection. This permit # WQ0032605 will expire on March 31st, 2022 and is due for
renewal by September 30th, 2021. MRO staff discussed options with Mr. Ketchum, to potentially
request an inactive status at the time of renewal and alleviate monthly NDMR reporting for no
activity. The renewal application should be submitted electronically via the application
form located on our website here:

https://edocs.deq.nc.gov/Forms/NonDischarge-Branch-Submittal-Form-Ver2
Other items of interest:
There are two monitoring wells at the equalization basin associated with the NPDES permit
NC0024333. According to the permit there are three inactive MWs, but per on -site conversation, Mr.
Ketchum is only aware of two MWs and they have not been sampled since he has been ORC (25+
years). It is recommended you request all three MWs be removed from the NPDES permit and, if
approved, permanently abandoned by a NC certified well driller in accordance with 15A NCAC 02C
rules. Until that time, Monitoring Wells shall be maintained in accordance with 15A NCAC
02C .0108. At the time of inspection, both wells were missing the locking steel cover and the
down -gradient well was also missing a cap. Please submit photos of repaired wells via email
to Ms. Schutte to avoid well construction/maintenance violations and potential groundwater
contamination.
You may contact Maria Schutte via email (Maria.Schuttencdenr.qov) or phone [phone]) with
any questions about this letter or your permit.

Reason for Visit: Routine
Inspection Summary:
Staff of the Mooresville Regional Office (MRO) conducted compliance inspections for the referenced (WQ0001346 Residuals
and WQ0032605 Reclaimed Water) permits on May 11th, 2021. All items are highlighted in the cover letter, but a separate
report was generated for the Residuals inspection and 2020 Annual Report review.
The following item is noted to maintain overall reclaimed water program compliance:
The reclaimed water system has not been utilized, but appeared to be adequately maintained at the time of inspection. This
permit # WQ0032605 will expire on March 31st, 2022 and is due for renewal by September 30th, 2021. MRO staff
discussed options with Mr. Ketchum, to potentially request an inactive status at the time of renewal and alleviate monthly
NDMR reporting for no activity. The renewal application should be submitted electronically via the application form located
on our website here:
