Flow Measurement The permit requires an estimate of the effluent flow. The facility meets this requirement by calculating the flow based on the number of batch discharges from the backwash filter water. The flow can also be estimated by measuring the inches of water level drained from the lagoon. Laboratory Performs the following tests on the effluent and reports them on the monitoring report: pH, Total Residual Chlorine, and Temperature. The Town has obtained field certification 45206. The field calibrations are well documented. Effluent/Receiving Waters The unnamed tributary to Naked Creek did not appear to have any environmental impacts.

Self -Monitoring Program A review of the monthly self -monitoring reports from January 2015 through July 2015 did not show any limit violations.

The compliance evaluation inspection is satisfactory. Mr. Church operates the facility in an excellent manner. If you have any questions please contact George Smith or me at (336) 776-9800.
