Permit # WQ0005426
Falls Lake SRA — Holly Point WWTF
Wake County
To Whom it May Concern:
On June 16, 2022, I signed for a certified letter with the two Notice of Violations listed above at the
US Post Office. The NOVs were for Holly Point WWTF (WQ0005426) for frequency violations
for Chlorine, Total Residual (50060) and pH (00400) in January and February 2022. I have
attached the NOVs for your reference.
Falls Lake has three spray irrigation systems. The other two systems (WQ0002121 and
WQ0005247) both have monitoring requirements for these two parameters with the frequency set as
Weekly/Per Event, with the stipulation that weekly sampling shall be conducted from March
through September and per irrigation event sampling shall be conducted from October through
February. However, the permit for this system (WQ0005426) just states that the frequency for the
monitoring requirements for these two parameters as weekly, with no stipulation based on the
month or spray event.
In speaking with Curtis Tyree, the ORC for Falls Lake up until Feb 11, 2022, he stated that the
inspector that inspected this system during the last permit renewal was supposed to have the permit
changed to reflect the same parameters and monitoring requirements as Falls Lake's other two
systems. Obviously, this did not get done and while it is our responsibility to operate under the
permit as it is written, since that permit renewal Falls Lake has been operating with the
understanding that all three systems were to follow the same testing requirements for these two
parameters based on the month of the year and per spray event.
For these months that we received NOVs, Falls Lake was operating with that understanding. We did
have spray events in both January and February, and because of that we did submit samples for
those two parameters during those weeks and did report those results on our NDMRs.

I have received and downloaded the Modification Application Peiiiiit for Wastewater Irrigation
Systems (WWIS 06-16) and will be submitting a request to have these parameters changed to reflect
the same measurement frequency for all three systems. I will follow up on this once we have
completed the process.
I reached out to Nathaniel Thornburg about the permit modification requirements earlier this year,
and he responded that they are understaffed and are responding to requests as their workload allows.
I did let him know that I would appreciate this process being handled before October, when the
sampling requirements for our other two systems go back to per spray event. I will be following up
with Mr. Thornburg about this.
Please let me know if I need to do anything further to remedy these NOVs. You can reach me at the
phone number or email listed below.
