Inspection Summary:
Ron Boone, of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR), Winston-Salem Regional Office, conducted a compliance
evaluation inspection of the Greybridge Subdivision wastewater collection system on September 7th, 2022. Ander Walker, a
licensed plumber who operates and maintains the subdivision's pump staton, was present for the inspection.
The Greybridge subdivision is deemed permitted. Deemed permitted collection system in NC are regulated under NC
regulations 15A NCAC 02T .0400 - 0405. The primary requirements of these regulations are enumerated below along with
Greybridge's compliance status for each:
(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 subdivision's pump station has had two significant overflows over the past several years due to inadequate operation an(
maintenance. This indicates the system is NOT being operated and maintained effectively at all times.
(2) A map of the collection system shall have been developed and shall be maintained.
Mr. Walker stated during the inspection that he could provide a map of the collection system. As of the date of this report,
no map has been received by the Division.
(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.
Mr. Walker did not provide a written plan that meets the above requirements during the inspection.
(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.
The pump station has telemetry, but it did not work at the time of the inspection. The pump station does NOT have local
audible and visible alarms. The pump station is NOT inspected seven days a week. This does NOT comply with the above
requirements.
(5) High -priority sewers shall be inspected by the permittee or its representative once every six -months, and inspections
shall be documented.
All wastewater from Greybridge is conveyed to the Woodlake Mobile Home Park wastewater treatment plant via an 8" ductile
iron aerial gravity flow pipe that crosses the lake that is between Greybridge and Woodlake Park. It is believed that
Greybridge owns and is responsible for this aerial pipe. Mr. Walker presented no inspection or maintenance records for this
aerial, or any other high priority lines, during the inspection. It is unknown whether any others exist in the system. No high
priority line inspection and maintenance records were presented during the inspection.
(6) A general observation by the permittee or its representative of the entire collection system shall be conducted once per
year.
Mr. Walker presented no documentation of such observations during the inspection.
(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.
As stated above, the system has experienced overflows at the pump station over the past several years that were NOT

reported by the responsible party. The overflows were reported by neighbors.
(8) A Grease Control Program shall be in place as follows: 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.
Mr. Walker presented no documentation for this requirement.
(9) Right-of-ways and easements shall be maintained in the full easement width for personnel and equipment accessibility.
Mr. Walker presented no documentation for this requirement. It is unknown whether there are any maintainable right-of-ways
in the Greybridge collection system.
(10) Documentation of compliance with Subparagraphs (a)(1) through (a)(9) of this Rule shall be maintained by the collection
system owner for three years with the exception of the map, which shall be maintained for the life of the system.
As reflected above, none of the required documentation is being generated or maintained.
