Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Odom WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NC0027642
Northampton County
Dear Mr. Stovall:
On July 12, 2017, Ted Cashion of this office conducted an inspection at the subject facility. The
cooperation of Geoff Pittard, ORC, was appreciated. Findings during the inspection were as follows:
1. The current NPDES permit expired March 31, 2017. A permit renewal application has been
submitted as required.
2. The 0.12 mgd treatment plant consists of a comminutor at the influent pump station, oxidation
ditch with dual rotors, a circular clarifier, 4" Parshall flume with ultrasonic flow meter, UV
disinfection, aerated digester, and an effluent pump station with the discharge to the Roanoke
River.
3. The flow meter was calibrated August 2016. As discussed, please ensure the flow meter is
calibrated, at a minimum, once per year. It must be calibrated no later than August 2017.
4. Methods to collect twenty-four hour composite samples were discussed. Currently samples are
collected every 15 minutes, and are not flow proportional. Twenty-four hour composite samples
must be collected in accordance with Part 11. Section A. of the permit which states: "Composite
sample" means: a sample gathered over a 24 hour period by continuous sampling or combining
grab samples of at least 100 milliliters in such a manner as to result in a total sample which is
representative of the wastewater discharge during the sample period. This sample may be
obtained by methods given below, however, the Director may designate the most appropriate
method, number and size of aliquots necessary and the time interval between grab samples on a
case -by -case basis. Samples may be collected manually or automatically.
(a) Continuous - a single, continuous sample collected over a 24 hour period proportional to the
rate of flow, or
(b) Constant time/variable volume - a series of grab samples collected at equal time intervals over
a 24 hour period of discharge and combined proportional to the rate of flow measured at the time
of individual sample collection, or

Location: 3800 Barrett Drive, Rnlciah, NC 27609 Fax: [phone]

(c) Variable time/constant volume - a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24
hour period with the time intervals between samples determined by a preset number of gallons
passing the sampling point. Flow measurement between sample intervals shall be determined by
use of a flow recorder and totalizer, and the preset gallon interval between sample collection fixed
at no greater than 1/24 of the expected total daily flow at the treatment system, or
(d) Constant time/constant volume - a series of grab samples of equal volume collected over a 24
hour period at a constant time interval. This method may be used in situations where effluent flow
rates vary less than 15 percent. The grab samples shall be taken at intervals of no greater than 20
minutes apart during any 24 hour period and must be of equal size and of no less than 100
milliliters. Use of this method requires prior approval by the Director.
It appeared from the flow chart recorder that flow varies greater than 15%; therefore, item (d)
above is not an option to collect 24 hour composite samples. Please respond as to how the
facility will comply with composite sampling with one of the above methods.
5 A cursory review of laboratory data and discharge monitoring report (DMR) data for September
2016 showed consistent reporting of results.
6. A sludge judge was performed and showed a sludge blanket of approximately 7.5 feet in the 12
feet deep clarifier. As discussed, it is recommended that sludge blankets be maintained at less
than 25% of the depth of the clarifier to help prevent washout of solids.
7. A cursory review of calibration logs showed acceptable calibration for the on -site parameters.
8. The discharge appeared free of excess solids. No detrimental impacts to the Roanoke River were
observed.
9. A considerable amount of debris was noted in the clarifier. There is no bar screen to remove
debris. There is a comminutor at the pump station. Mr. Pittard stated that a bar screen will be
installed to remove debris from the waste stream. As discussed, an Authorization to Construct
permit may be required prior to constructing a bar screen. Please contact Ron Berry with
the Division's Permitting Unit at 919-807-6396 regarding this matter.
10. Mr. Pittard stated that an additional clarifier is to be constructed. Please provide this office with a
timeline for completion of construction for this clarifier and submittal of the engineering
certification.
11. A review of DMR data showed several violations of fecal coliform have been reported and are
being addressed under separate correspondence.
12. Effluent sampling was not occurring on the day of the inspection but the effluent refrigerated
sampling unit temperature was < 6° C as required.
13. The digester was approximately 2/3 full of sludge and has capacity to store sludge for
approximately 6 months per Mr. Pittard. Sludge is land applied by the facility under Permit No.
WQ0011413.
14. Debris such as mattresses and other non -vegetative materials were being burned adjacent to the
wastewater treatment plant. As discussed during the inspection, the Division of Air Quality has
been notified to follow up as needed.

1 5. An onsite generator is operated weekly under load for approximately 30 minutes and is able to
operate the entire WWTP.
Please respond in writing, to items 4, 9, and 10 as requested. Please submit your response by
September 1, 2017.
If you have questions concerning this report please contact Ted Cashion at 919-791-4254 or

Dear Ms. Ransmeier:
On December 3, 2012, Cheng Zhang of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a
compliance evaluation inspection of the subject facility. The assistance provided by Mr. Chris
Puryear, the operator in responsible charge (ORC) of the facility, and Mr. Neil Davis, the backup
ORC, was appreciated as it facilitated the inspection process. The inspection report is attached.
The following observations were made:
Kapstone — Kraft Paper Corporation - Roanoke Rapid Paper Mill W WTP is permitted to
discharge at a rate of 28.0 MGD and consist of: mechanical bar screen, primary clarifier,
emergency holding pond, aeration basin, and three stabilization ponds. The plant discharges
to Roanoke River, a Class C water in the Roanoke River basin.
1. All three influent pumps were in operation. The primary clarifier was in good condition.
2. Sludge from the primary clarifier was dewatered at the sludge handling facility, Belt
presses, screw presses, and chemical feed system were in operational condition.
Dewatered sludge was disposed at the onsite land file.
3. Effluent from the clarifier was further treated at the aeration basin. 26 of 31 aerators were
in use at the time of inspection (all aerators were operable). .
4. Effluent from the aeration basin was further treated in the three stabilization ponds before
being discharged to the river.
5. The ORC maintains a daily logbook. Lab results, chain -of -custody forms, and DMRs
were complete and current, kept in good order and ready for review. July 2012 DMR data
were compared to lab bench sheets; no data transcription errors were noted during the
inspection

6. The right of way to the outfall 001 was well maintained. The effluent was observed to be
clear and free of solids. No visible impacts were noted immediately downstream the
effluent pipe.
Field lab parameter (Certificate No. 183) calibration and analysis records were reviewed
during the inspection.
8. A compliance evaluation inspection for the NPDES stormwater permit (No. NCS000106)
was also conducted. The facility has developed and implemented a Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan (SPPP), which includes all required components. All stormwater
discharge outfalls were observed; these outfalls and the right-of-way were well
maintained. Please be reminded to review and update the SPPP before the end of
2012.
The overall condition of the facility is compliant with Division standards. If you have any
questions regarding the attached reports or any of the findings, please contact Cheng Zhang at:

2. Compliance Schedules:
The permit does not have any outstanding compliance schedules for this facility.
3. Facility Site Review:
The overall condition of the plant site was satisfactory. The appearance of the facility was in
good condition indicating that the current housekeeping practices are very good.
4. Self -Monitoring Program:
You are reminded that your monitoring samples must be collected, preserved, and analyzed by
appropriate procedures and methods. You should maintain records of the sampler temperature,
and a certified laboratory must calibrate the sample thermometers annually.
Your operator is reminded that he/she must keep a logbook of all operation/maintenance
activities undertaken at the facility. The logbook should include all daily process control
activities including any field measurements conducted for process control. A visitation log for
the facility must also be maintained.
The facility is currently in compliance with these requirements
5. Records/Reports:
a) A review of the daily monitoring data submitted during the previous 12-month period
indicates the facility was in compliance with the permit requirements and/or limitations.

6. Laboratory:
For all analytical data submitted for compliance monitoring purposes, a certified laboratory
must be utilized for all laboratory analysis. Additionally, if field parameter testing is conducted,
an operator certified to perform the specified field parameter analysis is also required. The
operator needs to be sure to calibrate all meters/instrumentation before each use and retain all
calibration records.
The facility is currently in compliance with these requirements and utilizes commercial
laboratory, Meritech Inc.,Cert. No 165
7. Flow Measurement:
If the permit requires a flow measurement device for determining the effluent flow, the flow
measurement device must be calibrated annually.
The facility is not required to measure the influent flow. The effluent flow meter was last
calibrated in November 2008 and is calibrated monthly The flow at approx. 17 MGD or less is
significantly lower than the permitted flow of28 MGD
8. Effluent/Receiving Waters:
The effluent discharge should be clear with a continuous flow with no visible changes to the
receiving waters.
The effluent discharge was clear and dow was continuous. The receiviniz waters looked clear
with no visible changes from the effluent discharge
9. Pretreatment:
This facility influent stream consists of domestic and process wastewater and currently does not
require pre-treatment.
10. Solids Handlin"isposal•
The facility must dispose of solids by an acceptable method such as a landfill or utilize the
services of an approved solids hauling and disposal contractor, which requires the facility to be
included under the contractor's non -discharge permit (i.e. land application). The facility is
reminded to maintain adequate records (i.e. shipment dates, quantities, etc.) of any solids
hauling and/or disposal activities.
The facility is in compliance with these requirements and utilizes a sludgeress for
concentratinz solids prior to removal to the mill's o site landfill 0000p_ .
11. Compliance Samplin¢:
Compliance sampling was conducted during the inspection. The results are attached.
Page 2-2

12. Operations & Maintenance:
The results of the sampling and a map of outfall locations are attached to this inspection.
NPDES Outfall 003-non-contact cooling water discharge- No sample results were of concern with
regards to water quality. *The facility reported a break in the cooling water process line in February
2009, that resulted in no water quality issues.
NPDES Outfall 002-non-contact cooling water discharge- No sample results were of concern with
regards to water quality.
NPDES Outfall 001-process and stormwater discharge- Sample results to note
*Fluoride = 8 mg/L Water Quality Standard (Class C) Freshwater Aquatic Life = 1.8 mg/L
Copper = 4.4 ug/L
*TDS = 946 mg/L Water Quality Standard (Water Supply)= 500 mg/L
*Sulfates = 460 mg/L Water Quality Standard (Class C) = 250mg/L
*Phenolics = 31 mg/L Not to result in fish -flesh tainting or impairment of best usage
*denotes "possible" water quality parameters of concern.
The Fluoride "may be city water that was discharged to outfall 001 the day of the inspection". This
should be determined and eliminated.
Please submit the sample results taken by Kapstone the day of the inspection
Please submit a findings and response document with regards to the sample results

Dear Ms. Ransmeier:

Natural Resources
Dee Freeman
Secretary
I, Dave Parnell of the Raleigh Regional Office of the Division of Water Quality, conducted two
Compliance Evaluation Inspections (CEI) on December 28, 2009, consisting of the NPDES Wastewater
and Stormwater inspections. Your assistance, and the assistance of Mr. Chris Puryear, Operator in
Responsible Charge (ORC), Mr. Neal Davis, Backup Operator in Responsible Charge (BORC) and Mr.
Paul Kinnin, Laboratory Manager, was appreciated. Please review the attached Basinwide Information
Management System (BIMS) inspection checklists summarizing the inspections.
Below is a list of findings and recommendations developed from the inspections:
I. NPDES Wastewater Permit Inspection:
1. The current permit was reissued May 9, 2007 and expires March 31, 2012.
2. The 28.0 MGD wastewater treatment plant consists of the following units: mechanical bar
screen, primary clarifier, emergency holding pond, sludge lagoon, aeration basin and three
stabilization ponds. Discharges from the plant are into the Roanoke River, which is Class C
waters in the Roanoke River Basin. The facility is classified as a W W-4, and both Mr.
Puryear and Mr. Davis are W-W 4 certified.
3. The inspection began in the plant office and proceeded to the laboratory. All paperwork was
well organized and easily accessible. Discharge Monitoring Reports were reviewed for
None

compliance with permit limits and monitoring requirements. Chain of custody records were
available and found to be in order. The facility also uses a contract laboratory. Sample
storage in Laboratory was kept at a temperature of 1.0 degrees Celsius. The effluent
composite sampling is flow proportional and the refrigerator temperature was kept at 1.5
degrees Celsius. The effluent flow meter was last calibrated on April 24, 2009 and the flow
meter on the main ditch to the clarifier was calibrated on March 20, 2009.
4. The overall condition of the facility was found to be good, which is indicative of good
housekeeping practices. The mechanical bar screen was in acceptable condition. Debris is
removed to the on -site landfill as needed.
5. The Primary Clarifier was inspected and found to be in good condition and functioning
properly. There was no sign of weir blockage, short circuiting or evidence of floating sludge.
6. The solids handling equipment included a sludge press for removing water and concentrating
solids prior to transporting the dewatered sludge to the landfill. Sulfuric acid is added for pH
control and polymer is added to thicken the material. This process functioned well on the
date of this inspection
7. The flow from the Primary Clarifier is gravity fed to the aeration pond. Nutrients are added
to effluent at this point before entering the ponds. There appears to be ample aeration.
(Some aerators are offline for maintenance but this is an acceptable practice). There were no
dead spots or excessive foaming on the surface of the ponds. Maintenance crews were
removing vegetation from the shoreline at the time of the inspection.
8. From the aeration pond the effluent flows to a series of lagoons. The surface of the ponds
was free of vegetation as was the shoreline.
9. The final stabilization pond discharge has a bar screen and a composite sampler and from
there the flow is discharged to the river. The effluent pipe was submerged due to high water
levels in the river. There was a trace of foam on the surface of the river at the discharge
point, but was in the acceptable range.
II. NPDES Stormwater Permit Inspection:
1. The permit was available for review during the CEI.
2. Secondary containment is required at this facility and was inspected during the site visit and
found to be in compliance.
3. The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SP3) was reviewed by during the inspection. As
we discussed, there are a couple of deficiencies in the plan that need addressing by your
engineer when your plan is updated in February 2010:
• Include a "Narrative Description of Practices" in the revised plan.
• Include a Preventative Maintenance and Good Housekeeping Plan within the SP3.

Kapstone !OS Wastewater and Stormwater Permit Comp Evaluation Inspections
• Include a Stormwater facility Inspection Program.
Please be specific and follow the requirements set forth in your permit when revising your
plan. All requirements of the permit must be components contained in the plan.
4. The relocated Representative Outfall Status (ROS) was discussed and pointed out to me during
the inspection. This location was reported to have produced much better sample results according
to Mr. Davis.
The Kapstone wastewater treatment plant is considered to be in compliance with the NPDES wastewater
and stormwater permits at the time of these inspections. Please continue to be diligent in adhering to the
requirements of the permits. If you have any questions concerning this report, please do not hesitate to
contact me at 919-791-4200.
Sincerely,

Permit No. NCS000106
KapStone Kraft Paper Corporation
Halifax County
APR 2 9 2009
Dee Freeman
Secretary
I received your comments on the Draft Permit NCS000106 on April 21, 2009. Your comments show concerns
about significant changes in the draft, permit. These changes are consistent with general and individual
permit renewals since 2007. All of our permits that include analytical monitoring are moving to at least a
semiannual monitoring schedule and include benchmarks and tiers. We understand that your two
discharges are subject to vehicle traffic and a small flow in comparison to the Roanoke River and city runoff
in the ditch. However, your permit is a federally mandated permit for all stormwater discharges based on
your SIC code.
As far as extending the comment period, we will extend the comment period until May 27, 2009 as talked
about in our phone conversation of Monday, April 27, 2009.
We will review the pictures that were sent to us and we look forward to reviewing the updated site map
that includes drainages areas and/or topography.
If you have any questions or comments concerning this draft permit, contact me at [phone] or
