Dear Mr. Roy:
A Pretreatment Compliance Inspection of the CFPUA Wastewater Treatment Facilities was conducted by Helen Perez from
this office on June 29, 2022. This inspection was conducted to determine the effectiveness of the pretreatment program by
reviewing various aspects of the program, which included files and records, industrial user inspections and monitoring data,
data management procedures and adherence to the Enforcement Response Plan.
The CFPUA continues to do an effective job of achieving the pretreatment program goals. The findings and comments
noted during this inspection are provided in the enclosed copy of the inspection report. There were no significant issues or
findings noted during this inspection thus a response to this inspection report is not required.
Thank you for your continued support of the North Carolina Pretreatment Program. If you should have any questions,
please contact Helen Perez at [phone] or at [e-mail] .
