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. NC0088765 17 (Cont.)
