Other observations:
• A solenoid valve in Z3 was broken preventing irrigation in this zone. It has since been repaired and irrigation has
continued in this zone.
• A set of changing rooms and a bathroom has been built next to the lake. The bathroom is connected to the system.
• All irrigation zones were not inspected during irrigation due to vegetation and insects. Ms. Caudle walked the bottom of
Z3 and Z4 and saw no signs of runoff.
• The flood plain study has been completed. Once the forcemain path is finalized an application can be submitted to the
City of Greensboro.
• DWR can assist with decommissioning the system once the connection to city sewer is made.
• The flow meter was calibrated on 7/21/2022.
• No solids have been removed from the system since the last inspection other than the grease trap.
• Soil samples have not been collected for 2022 yet. The 2021 soil reports show no issues.
• A propane generator provides back up power for the lift station.
• All existing sewer lines for the camp enter a junction box at the treatment unit. Junction Box ❑ Septic Tank ❑ Microfast
Unit ❑ CCC ❑ Wet Well ❑ Storage pond
• Mr. Burton stated that the septic tank probably needs to be checked for solids build up.
• The flows reported on the NDMRs is based on the flowmeter on the irrigation pumps.
• No anti -foaming agents are used.
• Duckweed was covering the storage pond.
• There is no back up power at the irrigation pumps.
