Section D: Summary of Findings/Comments:
1. The manual bar screen was operational. All screenings are disposed of through the County
landfill monthly.
2. The rotor in oxidation ditch #1 is off line but appeared to be operational. The rotor in oxidation
ditch #2 is operational. Catwalks, railings and power box covers located at the oxidation ditches
appeared to have paint from the surface of the metal. Repairs should be completed as soon as
possible before major repairs are necessary.
3. Clarifier #1 was operational with some pin floc floating over the weirs but not excessively.
Clarifier #2 was not operating due to oxidation ditch #2 not in operation. A usable sludge judge
was not on site at the time of the inspection. A strong recommendation from our office is to
purchase a sludge judge immediately to assist in operations of this facility.
4. The chlorine contact tank appeared to be clear of floatable debris.
5. The effluent appeared to be visibly free of solids.
6. Facility has made attempt to locate outfall and is maintaining approximately 1,200 feet of outfall
right-of-way. A suggestion was made to review "As Built" engineering drawings to assist in
location. All facilities should be able to inspect their outfall from time to time.
7. The sludge digester has not been used in years as communicated by facility staff. The four (4)
sand drying beds did not appear to have any sludge in them. Some vegetative growth appeared
to be in the drying beds. All vegetative growth should be removed to enhance sludge drying
when applied to the beds. Sludge is not normally wasted from the clarifiers but recirculated into
the oxidation ditch for treatment again.
8. The facility has backup power when needed. Generator operation is recorded in a log book
located in the panel door. The tank which contains diesel fuel used to power the generator has
been placed in a new support brace which appears to be much safer than the previous one. The
tank appeared to have many areas where the paint has worn from the surface. Painting of these
surfaces could eliminate major repairs in the future.
9. Maintenance records were available at the time of inspection. Maintenance and operational
records should be maintained to assist in proper operation of the facility to ensure NPDES
permit compliance.
10. The NPDES permit was available upon request.
11. The following NPDES permit required parameters are analyzed by facility staff: pH,
Temperature, Dissolved Oxygen and Chlorine Residual. All other parameters are analyzed by
Environment 1, Inc., of Greenville, NC 27858.
12. Laboratory records were reviewed for the months January through April 2001 and compared to
'Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs). All reviewed records appeared to be accurate.
13. A compliance evaluation analysis report for the period May 2000 through April 2001 revealed no
monthly violations, other than toxicity.
