Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Stephanie Williams, with the Asheville Regional Office, conducted a compliance evaluation inspection
of the Tuckaseegee RV Resort WWTP on December 13, 2021. This inspection was conducted to
determine if the system is being operated and maintained in compliance with permit no. NC0088765.
Dale Wike (ORC) was present during the inspection.
The wastewater treatment plant consists of a septic tank, 4 denitirification tanks, 6 fixed media spray
irrigation filters, a recirculation tank and pumps, tablet chlorination and dechlorination, and a UV
disinfection system. Tablet chlorination and dechlorination were added to supplement the UV
disinfection.
Water is recirculated on a 25/75 split, meaning 25% is discharged while 75% is recirculated. The
distribution spray nozzles appeared to be in working condition and are cleaned every 3 months.
