SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Notice of Deficiency NOD-2023-PC-0251
Forest Ridge WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO063720
Forsyth County
Dear Mr. Becker,
On September 15, 2023, Division of Water Resources staff Gary Hudson conducted a
routine compliance inspection at the Forest Ridge WWTP. Sam Pegram was present during
the inspection. A review of the October 2022, and April 2023 eDMR were compared to
laboratory bench sheets. No discrepancies were noted. During the inspection, one violation
was noted, as well as an area of concern.
Violation: The flow meter was last calibrated on July 21, 2019. This is a violation of Part II,
Section D, Paragraph 3 of the permit.
Area of Concern: The wastewater treatment plant consists of two identical package plants
sitting side by side, in parallel operation. About 8 months prior to the date of the
inspection, the #2 plant floated out of the ground and had to be taken offline. However, the
#1 plant appeared to be handling the flow from the subdivision.
You are reminded that, pursuant to NC General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.6A, the NC Division
of Water Resources may assess civil penalties not to exceed $25,000 per day, per violation
against any individual who violates NCGS 143-215.1, or any permit issued pursuant to it.
