Pretreatment Annual Report 2022
Narrative
Dear Mr. Montebello and Mr. McGee:
During the year of 2022 the Town of Old Fort Pretreatment Program has two permitted
breweries (Hillman Beer and Whaley Farm Brewery). The Town POTW is responsible for the
sampling and inspection process. The Town of Old Fort is the POTW enforcement. During
sampling of 2022 Hillman's Brewery was non -compliant the month of April for BOD and TSS.
The reported value for BOD was 423.25 lbs. and their limit was 404.00 lbs. per day. The
reported value for TSS 266.05 lbs. and their limit was 209.00 lbs. per day. The POTW issued
Hillman's Brewery a notice of violation on May 9, 2022. Hillman's Brewery responded on May
30, 2022 to the notice of violation. No penalties or fines were given. Hillman's Brewery worked
with the POTW to find solutions for better discharge. Hillman's Brewery have not had any more
violation during 2022. Attached to this letter are the notice of violation and the response from
Hillman Brewery.
Whaley Farm Brewery was not online until July of 2022. Sampling for them began in July 2022.
They were complaint with every sampling in 2022.
During 2022 the pretreatment coordinator worked with the pretreatment unit to redo the Short
Term Monitoring Plan (STMP). For the headworks analysis. The STMP sampling begin the
fourth quarter of 2022 and will be finished the third quarter of 2023. The Town is in the second
quarter of sampling at this time. Overall the pretreatment program is going good and both
breweries are performing well.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to contact me.
Sincerely,
OU 4,
Josh Cagle [e-mail]

After obtaining these results, I spoke with Greig Hillman about the sampling point for the wastewater
discharge begin filled with solids from the brewing process, and that cleaning the sampling point would
probably solve the problem.
In accordance with the Town's Enforcement Response Plan, the Town is not assessing a penalty for this
violation. However, maintaining a clears sampling point will be necessary to remain in compliance.
Please respond to this letter with a short letter and return to Josh Cagle the Town of Old Fort Pretreatment
Director with 30 days of receiving this Notice of Violation for outlining a plan to keep this area clean.
Please remember that continued violations can and will result in enforcement actions, including penalties
and /or enforceable orders.

Thank you for your help in the Town's Pretreatment Program. If you have any question, please contact
me at the number or address below.
Sincerely,

VA/e are in receipt of the Notice of Violation of our pretreatment permit. Thank you Eor taking the
time to discuss the details of the violation with Lis and to help Lis determine a best,path for vard.
We want to rnake sure we are in compliance and will tape the necessary steps to ensure we do
so. VW believe this violation is the result of a €acl,� of a clear Standard Operating Procedure for
our brewing staf responsible for the cleaning and maintenance of our waste livater contain meet
system`] and not because our vvaste�kiater exceeds allowable limits. The catch basin we built into
our br eatery drain system catcher nearly all ofthe solids that make their way into our floor drain.
Our ne�v procedure is to clean this basin on a� €east a weekly basis or more frequently if brewing
operations warrant. Normally they do not.
in addition, additional training has been provided to all brewery staff to ensure understanding of
the need to rninimize all solids in our wastewater, especially grains; hops and yeast..
'Ae have also re -designed our sampling porgy: in the catch basin so the sample is not being taken
from n the sediment that has collected in the bottom of the basin but father being taken from the
actual -Flowing wastewater discharge_
Ale believe thesL changes will ensure our compliance.
?lease don 'i hesitate contact me if you require any further information.
