Craven, Jr., Owner 420 Marion Drive, Unit 31 Wilmington, NC 28412 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Permittee: Lakeview Mobile Home Park, LLC Facility: Lakeview Mobile Home Park Wastewater Treatment Plant NPDES Permit#: NC0051713 Forsyth County Dear Mr. Craven: Donald R. van der Vaart Secretary Ron Boone of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR or the Division) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) of the Lakeview Mobile Home Park Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) on November 10, 2015. The assistance and cooperation of Clifford Cain, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), was greatly appreciated. An inspection checklist is attached for your records and inspection findings are summarized below. General Information The mobile home park is located at approximately 5195 Highpoint Road (Hwy 311), at coordinates 36.0216841°N, 80.0675824°W. The WWTP is located just off of Highpoint Road, on the north side of the park and just adjacent to the park office. Although in Forsyth County, the park/plant are actually located at a Highpoint address. The permit authorizes the owner to operate this 0.015 MGD WWTP, which consists of an aeration basin with diffused aeration, a clarifier, return activated sludge with constant recirculation airlift pumps, chlorination, dechlorination, post aeration, and an aerobic sludge digester. The permit authorizes the owner to discharge the treated effluent from the WWTP into an unnamed tributary (UT) to Cuddybum Branch via outfall 001. Cuddybum Branch is currently classified as WS-III waters and is located in the Yadkin Pee -Dee River basin. Site Review Mr. Cain has done a good job operating and maintaining the plant. The plant itself was in good condition and the mixed liquor, clarifier overflow, and plant discharge all looked good. The only thing Mr. Boone noted was that at least one section of the fence is falling down, making it easy for unauthorized personnel to enter the plant grounds. The rest of the fence around the plant looks as though it could also use some maintenance and repair work. Please repair all sections of fencing to maximize security of the plant.
