Subject: Plant maintenance/Upgrade schedule
This is an annual report of repairs, installation of new equipment and upgrades needed at
the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) to achieve compliance and provide for more
efficient operations.
WWTP — Equipment associated with Outfall 001
The first five tasks are items listed in previous Notice of Violation (NOV) of NC
DEQ.from past inspections *
Corrective actions on flow measurement at effluent — new flow meter *
Repair leaks in septic tanks at influent and reconnect to flow *

New Tasks
Check for and repair leaks in the chlorine contact chamber
Scum return for clarifier has malfunctioned and needs to be replaced
Oil/Grease Separator at Outfall 002
Continue to remove soil buildup at drainage features along the open concrete channel
along Dixon Road and at the entrance past the diesel dispensers. Excessive stormwater is
reaching the oil/water separator from areas not exposed to the truck diesel dispensers
because soil and debris is blocking the original channels. Poor drainage at the lower
entrance causes accumulation of stormwater that overflows the sampling point for Outfall
002 creating flow into the system and preventing sampling during and after rain events.
