Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
110 Hull Drive
NPDES Permit No. NCG551169
Gaston County
Dear Mr. & Mrs. Buller:
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection report for the inspection conducted
at the subject facility on January 25, 2022, by Ori Tuvia. Your cooperation during the site visit
was much appreciated.
Overall, you have done a great job maintaining the system and keeping the required records. The
following item needs to be addressed in future sampling:
• Total Chlorine Residual (TRC) should be reported in micrograms per liter (ug/L) rather
than milligrams per liter (mg/L), as required by the permit.
The attached report should be self-explanatory. However, should you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to contact Ori Tuvia at (704) 235-2190, or via email at ori.tuvia@ncdenr.gov.
Sincerely,
—DocuSigned by:
