GENERAL COMMENTS: The laboratory was neat, exceptionally well organized and records were easily retrievable. The benchsheets are well designed, easy to follow and concise. The staff was forthcoming and knowledgeable. The laboratory supervisor, Tony Gorham, is employed by SUEZ North America and is also the laboratory supervisor for the Town of Scotland Neck (Certification # 5261). The Town of Scotland Neck laboratory was inspected June 15, 2016, and the changes made in response to that inspection were also implemented at the Town of Enfield. The laboratory is commended for applying the applicable corrections proactively. All required Proficiency Testing (PT) samples for the 2017 PT calendar year have not yet been analyzed. The laboratory is reminded that results must be received by this office directly from the vendor by September 30, 2017. Contracted analyses are performed by Environment 1, Inc. (Certification # 10). Current Quality Assurance Policies for Field Laboratories and Approved Procedure documents for the analysis of the facility's currently certified Field Parameters were provided at the time of the inspection. III. FINDINGS, REQUIREMENTS, COMMENTS AND RECOMMENDATIONS: No Findings were noted. Page 2 #5259 Town of Enfield WWTP IV. PAPER TRAIL INVESTIGATION: The paper trail consisted of comparing original records (e.g., laboratory benchsheets, logbooks, etc.) and contract lab reports to electronic Discharge Monitoring Reports (eDMRs) submitted to the North Carolina Division of Water Resources. Data were reviewed for the Town of Enfield WWTP (NPDES permit # NC0025402) for February, May and September 2016. The facility has a system of peer review in place and appears to be doing a good job of accurately transcribing data. However, there was one instance where the contract lab data for BOD, TSS, Fecal Coliform and Ammonia analyses for three consecutive days were reported a day later than analyzed. The analyst relayed this is an issue that sometimes happens when using the eDMR entry form. Tom Moore, the eDMR coordinator, was consulted by email on June 16, 2016. He is aware that this issue sometimes occurs with an error in the template formatting and offered to assist the laboratory. His contact information was provided to the laboratory staff. In order to avoid questions of legality, it is recommended that you contact the appropriate Regional Office for guidance as to whether an amended eDMR will be required. A copy of this report will be made available to the Regional Office. V. CONCLUSIONS: No Findings were noted during the inspection. The inspector would like to thank the staff for their assistance during the inspection and data review process. No response is required.
