Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Tim Heim of the Asheville Regional Office (ARO) performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the
Facility on January 17th, 2023. Donnie Staton (Lead WTP Operator) was present and assisted with
the inspection. The facility appeared well operated at the time of the inspection, and in compliance
with Permit NC0082767.
The facility maintains a discharge permit as a backup but reports never having discharged to its
NPDES permitted outfall. All effluent generated from the water treatment process is discharged to the
Spruce Pine WWTP.
The location of the discharge point was verified during the inspection.
