Inspection Summary:
Ron Boone, of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Resources, conducted a compliance
evaluation inspection of the Melbille Heights WWCS on 8/4/22. The assistance and cooperation of Shelby Check was
greatly appreciated. Inspection findings are detailed below.
NC Administrative Code 15A NCAC 02T .0403, requires the following for deemed permitted collection systems such as
Melbille Heights:
(1) The collection system shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times to prevent discharge to land or surface
waters and to prevent any contravention of groundwater standards or surface water standards.
The system appears to be sufficiently operated and maintained in accordance with all requirements.
(2) A map of the collection system shall have been developed and shall be maintained.
The collection system map was reviewed and found to be sufficient.
(3) An operation and maintenance plan, including pump station inspection frequency, preventative maintenance schedule,
spare parts inventory, and overflow response shall have been developed and implemented.
The O&M and Spill Plans were reviewed and found to be sufficient.
(4) Pump stations that are not connected to a telemetry system shall be inspected by the permittee or its representative
every day, 365 days per year, unless the permittee demonstrates that daily inspections are not necessary because the
pump station has sufficient storage capacity, above the elevation at which the pump activates, to justify a longer inspection
interval. In no case shall the inspection interval exceed seven days. Pump stations that are connected to a telemetry
system shall be inspected once per week.
There are no pump stations within the collection system.
(5) High -priority sewers shall be inspected by the permittee or its representative once every six -months, and inspections
shall be documented.
Records of the inspections of HPSs were complete and current.
(6) A general observation by the permittee or its representative of the entire collection system shall be conducted once per
year.
The general observation requirement is met in conjunction with the jetting program.
(7) Overflows and bypasses shall be reported to the appropriate Division regional office in accordance with 15A NCAC 02B
.0506(a), and public notice shall be provided as required by G.S. 143-215.1C.
No SSOs have been reported from the system in the past three years.
(8) A Grease Control Program shall be in place as follows: (B) For privately owned collection systems, the Grease Control
Program shall include bi-annual distribution of grease education materials to users of the collection system by the permittee
or its representative.
Newsletters which include the FOG information are distributed twice per year. Documentation of the activities is
accomplished by dating the newsletters and keeping copies of them on file in Aqua's home office.
