SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Tweetsie Railroad Collection System, WQCSD0238
Watauga County
Dear Chris Robbins:
Tricia Lowery, of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR), Winston-Salem Regional Office (WSRO), visited
the Tweetsie Railroad Collection System on February 15, 2022, to perform a Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI).
The assistance and cooperation of Bobby Rowe and Travis Spencer was greatly appreciated. Details of the inspection
are recorded on the attached EPA Water Compliance Inspection Report.
Overall, the collection system is very well maintained and operated. The only areas of concern were:
1. Maps need to be updated with proper information (ie: pipe size, material, and flow). By implementing the
use of GIS, this will resolve the issue.
2. No grease control program. With areas on site preparing food, the education of proper grease control
procedures is critical in the overall health of the collection system. This could be in the form of posters in
food prep areas detailing proper disposal of grease material.
You are reminded that, in accordance with NC General Statute 143-215.6A, failure to comply with all
conditions of the permit subjects the City to civil penalties not to exceed $25,000.00 per violation, per day.
If you have any questions or require further assistance, please contact Tricia Lowery by phone at 336-776-
9691, or by email at [e-mail] . You may also contact me by phone at 336-776-9700, or by email at
[e-mail].
Sincerely,
