Carter Town of Yanceyville PO Box 727 Yanceyville, N.C. 27379 SUBJECT: Compliance Sampling Inspection Town of Yanceyville WWTP NPDES No. NC0040011(001) Caswell County Dear Mr. Carter: A Compliance Sampling Inspection was performed at the Yanceyville WWTP on July 7, 1997 by Mr. Ron Linville of this office. You were present and courteous during the inspection. Attached is the EPA inspection report. A review of your self -monitoring data for the period of May 1997 through April 1998 indicated compliance with the NPDES Permit. The on -site portion of the inspection revealed that the WWTP appeared to be orderly. However, some concerns were observed which should be resolved. Potable water (suggest a restroom facility) needs to be provided on site for health, maintenance and safety purposes. Potable water should also be provided for chlorine and sulfur dioxide feeding as filter and line clogging is now occurring. Solids removed from the bar screen and grit chamber area need to be disposed of properly by keeping them covered continuously in a dumpster or trash can. Providing an on -site power generator should be considered as the facility does not have dual power feed or alternate power generation. The auto dialer was checked and the monitor indicated that the battery was "low". Chlorine monitoring is being accomplished with milligram instead of microgram accuracy. Better chlorine monitoring equipment was in the process of being ordered. It appears that scum and floating materials escape the final "EQ Basin". This is an issue that should be reviewed without delay. A better method of skimming from the final "EQ basin" should be investigated and provided if possible. Other solids may be released during dosing if there are other systematic problems. It is possible that the current sampling methodology may not be showing 585 WAUGHTOWN STREET, WINSTON-SALEM, NORTH CAROLINA 27107 PHONE 336-771-4600 FAX 336-771-4631 AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY / AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER - 50% RECYCLED/1 0% POST -CONSUMER PAPER actual discharge conditions when these suspected releases occur. Flow proportional monitoring or sampling during "EQ Basin" discharges could provide a more accurate accounting of any suspected elevated solids. By copy of this letter, we are requesting that the Division's Permits and Engineering Unit consider a flow proportional monitoring modification of the Town's NPDES Permit. Chlorine and SO2 data documentation is being accomplished in a slightly confusing although understandable manner. Please standardize both the methods and the forms. Chlorine tanks need to be adequately chained to a substantial structure. It could be economically beneficial to look into the option of ultraviolet disinfection. This could reduce or replace chemical usage, reduce safety and health concerns, as well as save money. As discussed at the site, triploid grass carp may be utilized to reduce unwanted vegetative growth in the solids holding lagoon. The compliance sampling results are as follows: Parameter Permit Limit Sampling Results BOD 18.0/30.0 mg/1 3.3 mg/1 TSS 30.0 mg/1 <1 mg/1 NH3-N 2.3/13.0 mg/1 0.31 mg/1 Fecal coli 200/100 ml <10/100 ml pH 6.0-9.0 6.7 SU TRC 28.0 ug/1 NA Total P NOL 3.2 mg/1 Since this NPDES inspection, the Region has received complaints concerning the possible discharge of raw wastewater from the collection system and sewer gas odors. Please continue your efforts to resolve these complaints and to rectify any collection system problems. Should you have questions regarding this inspection or other Water Quality matters, please contact Mr. Ron Linville or Mr. Steve Mauney at (336) 771-4608 extensions 265 and 262 respectively.
