Bill's Truck Stop WWTP
NPDES Permit: NCO040045
Davidson County
Dear Ms. Freeman:
Jesse Barnes, of the North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR), Winston-Salem
Regional Office (WSRO), conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the Bill's Truck Stop
WWTP on February 7, 2023. Joseph Shaffer, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), was present
for the inspection. The facility was found to be noncompliant with the subject permit. The
determined permit violation and items of concern are listed below. Inspection findings are
detailed in the attached Water Compliance Inspection Report.
PERMIT VIOLATION
1. Field parameters have been performed by Mr. Shaffer, but no field laboratory
certification was present or able to be produced upon request by either Mr. Shaffer or
the facility owner. Subject permit Part II, Section D. (5.) requires field laboratories to hold
the appropriate field parameter laboratory certifications.
ITEMS OF CONCERN
1. An effluent holding tank between the point of de -chlorination and effluent pipe was
present during the inspection but not listed on the supplement to permit cover sheet.
2. Approximately the past 18 months of DMRs were maintained on site. Mr. Shaffer stated
that he maintains DMRs older than 18 months off site at his home, along with laboratory
records and chains of custody. He was advised to maintain all permit -required records on
site in accordance with subject permit Part I, Section S. and Part II, Section D. (6.).
3. Facility staff indicated that the effluent outfall was inaccessible due to highways and
wetlands. They were advised that, if possible, a right of way should be maintained so that
the outfall can be visually inspected regularly and accessed for maintenance.
