Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Bailey Collection System
Deemed Permitted Collection System No. WQCSD0003
Nash County
On March 30, 2022, Alys Hannum of the Division of Water Resources (Division) conducted an
inspection of the Town of Bailey's (Town) Collection System to evaluate compliance with the
operation and maintenance of the subject deemed wastewater collection system permit. The
cooperation and assistance of William Lamm, Envirolink staff and ORC, during the inspection
were greatly appreciated.
The Town's Collection System is covered by a deemed permit (WQCD0003) and is classified as
a CS-1 system. Deemed collection systems must meet the requirements of 15A NCAC
02T.0403. If the system ever exceeds 200,000 GPD, the Town would need to apply for an
individual collection system permit.
Findings during the inspection were as follows:
1. During the inspection, Town staff indicated that the contact information filed with the
Division (attached) is not current and up to date. Within 30 days of receipt of this letter,
please review the attached contact information and submit to the Division a list of
updated information, including but not limited to: Owner Affiliation, Owner Contact
Person(s), Facility Contact Person(s), Permit Billing Contact Person(s), and Designated
Operator(s).
2. The wastewater collection system consists of 21,225 linear feet of pipe, 3 pump stations
and 3 high priority aerial sewer lines. All pump stations have telemetry and connections
for portable generators.
3. The Town has developed and maintains a complete map of the collection system. Please
ensure the map is updated to include: pipe material, pipe size, pump station names and
capacity, and flow direction.

4. No sanitary sewer overflows have been reported in a 2-year period.
5. An operation and maintenance plan — including pump station inspection, preventative
maintenance, and overflow response — was available at each pump station.
6. The Town did not have a written Grease Control Program or ordinance. This program is
required and shall include:
...at least bi-annual distribution of educational materials for both commercial and
residential users and the legal means to require grease interceptors for new
construction and retrofit, if necessary, of grease interceptors at existing
establishments. The plan shall also include legal means for inspections of the
grease interceptors, enforcement for violators and the legal means to control
grease entering the system from other public and private satellite sewer systems.
(15A NCAC 02T .0403)
Within 60 days of receipt of this letter, please submit to the Division a draft Grease
Control Program to address these requirements.
7. All three pump stations were inspected. All three had identification signs, secured access,
appeared in good condition and were free of excess debris. All audible and visual alarms
functioned when tested. The pump stations inspected were as follows:
a. Main Street
b. Reid Street
c. Vance Street
8. A logbook for each pump station was available to view during the inspection. Pump station
maintenance logs were reviewed and appeared satisfactory. Pump stations are inspected at
least once a week by the ORC.
9. All three of the Town's three high priority aerial crossing lines were inspected and
appeared straight, rust free, and in good condition. The right of ways were being
maintained.
10. The Town is required to inspect and maintain inspection records for high -priority sewer
lines at least once every six months, and to conduct a general observation of the entire
sewer system at least once per year. There were no records of high priority inspections or
the system -wide observation on the day of the inspection. Within 30 days of this letter,
please submit to the Division any records of high priority sewer inspections and system-
wide observations conducted within the last 5 years.
