The purpose of the evaluation was to verify that the facility is operating in compliance with the conditions and limitations specified in Permit WQ0023310. Michael Norris and Derek Brown were present during the inspection. This facility is a 2-bay, "clean" trailer wash facility with a SWECO solid -liquid mechanical separator and an oil -water separation unit. From the headworks, influent flows to a 2,573,134 gallon clay -lined lagoon and then irrigated on approximately 32 acres of spray fields consisting of Fescue and row crops. The facility estimates flow by water usage and is limited to 7,300,000 gallon per any consecutive 12 months. As of November 2022, the facility reported a flow of 2,796,200 gallons. Since the current NDMR form does not calculate flow as gallons per year, please be conscientious when calculating and reporting the 12-month rolling total gallons on the NDMR. There are plans to remove and reseed the Fescue on Zones 1-5 this spring. The Waste Utilization Plan has not had any recent changes. Operation/maintainence records were available for review and organized and complete. A review of records showed 1 NOD was issued for a freeboard limit violation. MW-1 R and MW-3R, located around the row crop Fields A throuh H, have had Nitrate limit exceedances for the majority of this permit cycle. Very little application on the fields nearest to those MWs, Field A and H, has occured. The Wilmington Regional Office continues to monitor the trends. The facility is compliant with Non -Discharge Permit WQ0023310. Please review the comment sections of the inspection report for more details.
