Post Office Box 6319 Asheville, North Carolina 28816 Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION Non -Discharge Compliance Inspection Outer Banks Beach Club — Kill Devil Hills Wastewater Rotary Distributor Facilities Permit No. WQ0002829 Dare County Dear Mr. Kinser. Enclosed please find a copy of the Non -Discharge Compliance Inspection Report from the inspection conducted on March 13, 2001. The Compliance Inspection was conducted by Ms. Kim Cole of the Washington Regional Office. Mr. Bill Freed's assistance during the inspection was helpful and is greatly appreciated. The treatment facility was found to be in violation of permit WQ0002829 for the following: 1) Review of the self -monitoring reports for August 2000 through February 2001 revealed violations of the following: a) No effluent monitoring was submitted on forms NDMR-1 for VOC for the months of September 2000 and February 2001. b) The application rates submitted on the NDAR-2 forms are incorrectly calculated using the wrong square footage of the rotary distributors. 2) According to the permit, the facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times. a) An excessive amount of grease was observed in the equalization basins. The grease should be addressed at the sources utilizing an enforceable Sewer Use Ordinance that includes a Grease Ordinance. Any excessive grease that enters the facility should be removed to insure that the treatment units operate efficiently. b) The Steel Plant is a safety hazard. I was unable to inspect all components of the plant because rails and catwalks were not adequate. c) The media in the tertiary filters of the Steel Plant needed to be replaced at the time of the inspection. d) The Aeromod Plant (Concrete Plant) is not operated as designed. The present operation of the plant provides no clarification or skimming of floating solids. 943 Washington Square Mall Washington, NC 27889 252-946-6481 (Telephone) 252-946-9215 (Fax) State, of North Carolina , Department of Environment and Natural Resources Division of Water Quality Michael F.
