SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Pilot Mountain Water Treatment Plant
NPDES Permit #: NCO068365
Surry County
On May 22nd, 2023, Division of Water Resources staff, Ron Boone, conducted a routine compliance
inspection at the Pilot Mountain water treatment plant. Kent Scott, operator in responsible charge, was
present during the inspection. A review of the facility was conducted and showed compliance with the
subject permit.
This plant ceased operations and discharge on February 16, 2023. The town has begun purchasing its
water and will decommission this plant and request the permit to be rescinded. Mr. Scott stated that all the
plant's tanks have been emptied of all contents and showed Mr. Boone where he intends to permanently
close the plant's effluent line. The discharge vault on the discharge end of the waste lagoon will be filled
with concrete to a level that will completely cover the discharge pipe, thereby preventing any further
discharge. Completing this will satisfy all requirements for plant decommissioning and permit rescission.
Please submit a rescission request to this office in writing (email or postal mail) once the closure work is
complete.
If you have any other questions, you may contact Mr. Boone by phone at 336.776.9690 or by email at
