Inspection Area Description of Deficiency
End Use -Irrigation The drip lines in Zones 6 and 7 have been damaged and are not functioning properly creating
a ponding circumstance next to the broken lines. The lines need to be repaired to bring the
application area into compliance with the permit. MRO staff suggests the ORC inspect all of
the application zones to look for additional leaks or broken lines and repair any damaged lines
associated with the application area.
Treatment Lagoons The liner is damaged in the NE section of the large lagoon. Vegetation is growing in the liner
damaged area. The liner will need to be repaired to be in compliance with the permit.
If they haven't already been corrected, remedial actions should be taken to correct these problems and prevent
further occurrences in the future. Should these issues not be appropriately addressed, the Division of Water
Resources may pursue enforcement action for this and any additional violations of the permit or State law. To
prevent further action, carefully review these deficiencies and address the causes of non-compliance to prevent the
recurrence of similar situations.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Edward Watson with the Water Quality
Regional Operations Section in the Mooresville Regional Office at 704-663-1699 or via Edward. [e-mail].
Sincerely,
