Permit # WQ0005247
Facility: Falls Lake SRA - Rollingview WWTF/WW Irrigation system
Durham County
Dear Mr. Mumford:
On August 16,2022 Jim Westcott from the Raleigh Regional Office visited your wastewater
treatment and irrigation system and met with David Mumford, Vincent Shea, and Joel Valentine
to evaluate compliance with the subject permit. Your collective cooperation and comprehensive
tour of your facility was informative and greatly appreciated.
You are permitted to operate a 9,999 gallon per day (GPD) wastewater collection, treatment and
irrigation facility consisting of ten influent pump stations at the Rolling view park; a grit
chamber and piping to connect to the existing shower at Pump station 2; a septic tank; a pump
station with two 22 gallon per minute (GPM) effluent pumps and high water alarms;
approximately 500 linear feet (LF) of 2-inch force main to discharge collected wastewater from
the Superintendents' residence to the existing wastewater facilities; approximately 345 linear feet
(LF) of 8-inch gravity sewer; approximately 225 LF of 6-inch gravity sewer; a 2 horsepower (hp)
pump station with duplex pumps and high water alarms; eight 5 hp pump stations each with
duplex pumps and high water alarms (as upgraded); two 7.5 hp booster pump stations (as
upgraded) each with duplex pumps and high water alarms; approximately 17,650 LF of 2,3 and
4-inch force main; a 7 million gallon (MG) stabilization lagoon; a tablet chlorinator; a 3200
gallon chlorine contact chamber; a 150 GPM irrigation pump station with dual submersible
pumps; two 3.55 acre irrigation zones; and all associated piping, valves, controls and
appurtenances with no discharge of wastes to surface waters.

The permit, which was issued January 23, 2017, expired December 31, 2021. Section I (1) of the
subject permit requires the permittee to request renewal of the permit no later than six months
prior to the expiration of the permit on official division forms.
At the time of inspection, the permittee presented a receipt of acknowledgement of the
application renewal letter by the division dated July 25, 2022. Please ensure that future renewal
applications are completed and submitted no later than six months prior to expiration to the
division as required
At the time of inspection, required logbook, maintenance, flow, calibration records and annual
standard soil fertility analysis was available for review. Each lagoon freeboard level was clearly
marked, identified, and recorded weekly, including discharge pump run hours and spray
application rate(s). The treatment lagoon was secured and proper signage on the perimeter
fencing. The two 3.55-acre spray field(s) were in good condition with consistent vegetative cover
in each zone. The schedule of application to each of the spray fields is recorded each day to
ensure even distribution. Spray nozzles are inspected for proper operation are the facility grounds
were clean and structured. Each spray field/zone discharge nozzle(s), piping connections were
inspected while on site. A section of the aluminum discharge line on the east side entrance of the
spray field had become dislodged from a tree branch and will need to be repaired. The section
was secured at the main line with a valve cap to ensure the area is receiving adequate pressure
and an even spray -distribution pattern in each zone.
1. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS: Section I (1) of the
permit Monitoring and Reporting requirements state that the facilities shall be properly
maintained and always operated. The facilities shall be properly maintained and always
operated. The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge
system to prevent the discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this
facility. The permittee shall maintain an Operation and Maintenance Plan, which at a
minimum shall include operations functions, maintenance schedules, safety measures
and a spill response plan. [15A NCAC 02T .0507] Within 30-days of receiving this
letter, please forward a document showing the repaired line and the inspection
schedule for the spray field to this office.
2. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS: Records were not
available for the requirements of section 8 [15A NCAC 02T.0108(b)(1)] of the permit
regarding residuals disposal. No material has been removed from the site. Records
indicating the sludge level in the lagoon were not available at the time of inspection
although the previous estimate was two years ago. Within 30-days of receiving this
letter, please forward a plan for evaluating the solids levels in the lagoon to this
office.

[see attached Monitoring Report (MR) Violations Report for details];
(a) Monitoring Violations — The facility reported the following limit exceedances
during the 2-year review period: Two CL2 residual and two pH.
(b) Reporting Violations — Four Total Nitrogen as N
The wastewater treatment system should be periodically inspected to ensure the treatment
components are always maintained and in good operating order. You are also reminded to
maintain all monitoring data and associated maintenance records onsite for a minimum of
three years and available for inspection.
Within 30-days receipt of this letter, please submit a written response to this office indicating
the actions you will take or have taken to comply with or resolve the issues noted in items 1
