Rescission of NPDES Permits
NC0032964 — North Moore High School
NC0032948 — High Falls Elementary School
Moore County
This is to acknowledge the receipt of a copy of the permit rescission request that
was sent to your office dated August 15, 2003. On September 30, 2003, I personally met
on site with the facility ORC's to inspect the sites to see that proper closeout and
abandonment of each wastewater treatment plant had been accomplished. The
wastewater from the schools is now being collected and pumped to the Town of Robbins
for treatment; therefore, the NPDES Permits are no longer needed.
If you have any questions regarding this request, please contact me at 910-486-
1541.

Section D: Summary of Findings/Comments:
1. The NPDES permit was available upon request.
2. A compliance evaluation report for the period January through December 2001, revealed two (2)
monthly NPDES ,violations for BOD. The biomass in the WWTP was killed by the use of
disinfectants the cleaning materials used by janitors.
3. Laboratory data was reviewed for the months of January 2001 through December 2001. There were
no discrepancies found in the records. All records are kept neat and in order.
4. The aeration basins appeared to have adequate aeration. Enzymes are added to the wastewater
plant, especially when the school is closed, as a food source for the bacteria to adequately treat the
wastewater. If power is lost, a portable gasoline powered air compressor is on hand to use for
aeration in the basins.
5. The clarifier was turbid but the activated sludge color was returning to the basin. The sludge blanket
was 'A foot in depth with a clarifier depth of 9 feet.
6. The chlorine contact tank appeared to be free of floating debris in the effluent. The "ORC"
communicated during the inspection that the chlorine contact tank is pumped and cleaned on a
regular basis.
7 The chlorine tablets used for disinfection were manufactured for wastewater application.
8. The effluent appeared to be free of solids.
9. The effluent dutfall was accessible.
10. All sludge is pumped and transported by "Hoke Septage" to the "Moore County Water Pollution
Facility" for disposal.
11. The following NPDES permit required parameters are analyzed by this facility: pH, Chlorine
Residual and Dissolved Oxygen. All other parameters are analyzed by the commercial laboratory
"Carolina Environmental Lab".
12. Flow measurement is recorded by the potable water consumption meter.

Section D: Summary of Findings/Comments:
1.
The NPDES permit was available upon request.
2. A compliance evaluation report for the period April 1999 through March 2000, revealed a monthly
NPDES violation for April 1999 and January 2000. Both violations were for T.S.S. A sludge judge
has been purchased and monitoring of the sludge blanket has been initiated.
3. Laboratory data was reviewed for the period April 1999 through March 2000. There was no
discrepancy in the records. All records are kept neat and in order.
4. The aeration basins appeared to have adequate aeration. Enzymes are added to the wastewater plant,
especially when the school is closed, as a food source for the bacteria to adequately treat the
wastewater. If power is lost, a portable gasoline powered air compressor is on hand to use for
aeration in the basins.
5. The clarifier appeared to have a few solids floating on the surface but not excessive. This indicated
old sludge in the system. It was suggested that a 800-1,000 gd poly tank be used on the site to waste
solids to and use as an aerobic digestor.
6. The chlorine contact tank appeared to be clear of floating debris in the effluent. The "ORC"
communicated during the inspection that the chlorine contact tank is pumped on a regular basis.
7. The chlorine tablets used for disinfection were manufactured for wastewater application.
8. The effluent appeared to be free of solids.
9. The effluent outfall was accessible.
10. All sludge is pumped and transported by "Hoke Septage" to the "Moore County Water Pollution
Facility" for disposal.
11. The following NPDES permit required parameters are analyzed by this facility: pH, Chlorine
Residual and Dissolved Oxygen. All other parameters are analyzed by the commercial laboratory
"Carolina Environmental Lab". Upon the demonstration of these meters, it was noted that the D.O.
meter was not working properly. A new meter was ordered immediately and will be on site within
five (5) days.
12. Flow measurement is recorded by the potable water consumption meter.

1. The NPDES permit was available upon request.
2. A compliance evaluation report for the period April, 1998 through March, 1999 did not reveal any
monthly NPDES violations for this period.
3. Laboratory Data was reviewed for the period May 1998 through April 1999. There was one (1)
weekly NPDES permit violation for Total Suspended Solids. Less than (<) signs had not been
reported for fecal c,oliform and ammonia results when records were reviewed. Remember all less
than (<) or greater than (>) signs must be reported on the DMRs as they are reported from the
laboratory.
4. The aeration basins, appeared to have adequate aeration. Enzymes are added to the wastewater plant
especially when the ,school is closed as a food source for the bacteria to adequately treat the
wastewater. If power is lost a portable air compressor is onhand to use for aeration in the basins.
5. The clarifier appeared to have a few solids floating on the surface but not excessive.
6 The chlorine contact tank appeared to have floating debris(leaves, trash, and solids) on the surface
of the effluent. A (suggestion was made to keep the chlorine contact tank clean by pumping it out
when needed. The1 cleanliness of the chlorine contact tank is extremely important in yielding a good
quality effluent. The "ORC" communicated during the inspection that the chlorine contact tank had
been cleaned February 17, 1999.
7. The chlorine tablets used for disinfection were manufactured for wastewater application..
8. The effluent appe f red to be free of solids.
9. The effluent outfall was accessible.
10. All sludge is pumped and transported by "Hoke Septage" to the "Moore County Water Pollution
Facility" for disposal.
I
11. The following NPDES permit required parameters are analyzed by this facility: pH, Chlorine
Residual and Dissolved Oxygen. All other parameters are analyzed by the commercial laboratory
"Carolina Environmental Lab".
12. Flow measurement is recorded by the potable water consumption meter.

Section I): Summary of Findings/Comments:
North Moore High School's wastewater treatment facility is presently functioning in a satisfactory
manner. There were several exceedences during 1996 in BOD and ammonia. The BOD problem
was resolved by the addition of an enzyme (SDE 340 plant pro -digester) to facilitate the return to
normal operating status. This addition of enzymes was done on a daily basis at the beginning of the
exceedence period and was tapered off to a bi-weekly application once compliance standards were
met.
The ammonia exceedence cleared up after two (2) months.
A review of the weekly monitoring data showed compliance in all areas of concern through March
of 1997.
Recommend that Operators advise school to properly discard waste, i.e., cleaning solvents, biology
lab concoctions, etc., to preclude interruptions in plant operations.
