Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection & Notice of Violation
Tracking Number: NOV-2024-PC-0102
Permit No. NCO026565
Ramseur WWTP
Randolph County
Dear Ms. Caudle:
On January 17, 2024, Division of Water Resources (DWR) Winston-Salem Regional Office
(WSRO) staff Jesse Barnes conducted a routine compliance evaluation inspection at the Town
of Ramseur WWTP in reference to NPDES permit NC0026565. ORC Terry Lewallen was present
during the inspection. A review of the subject permit, records, data, laboratory, treatment
components, sampling methods, operations, and maintenance was completed. This review
reflected noncompliance with the subject permit. The determined permit violations and items of
concern are listed below. Inspection findings are detailed in the attached Water Compliance
Inspection Report.
Permit Violations
1. Recent DMRs have reported effluent flow, but no effluent flow meter was present during
the inspection. Mr. Lewallen stated that he reports effluent flow using readings from the
influent flow meter. Part I, Section A. (1.) (a.) of the subject permit requires the permittee
to report either influent or effluent flow. Influent and effluent flows may not be assumed
as equivalent. Additionally, Mr. Lewallen stated that the effluent composite sampler has
been programmed to collect 250 mL aliquots once per hour and is therefore not flow
proportional. Part II. Section A. of the subject permit requires composite samples to be
collected in a manner that is proportional to the rate of flow. To achieve permit
compliance, an effluent flow meter and effluent flow -proportional composite
sampler must be installed within 90 days of receiving this notice.
2. According to DWR records, a Back-up ORC has not been properly designated and reported
to the Division. Part II, Section C. (1.) (b.) of the subject permit requires the permit owner
to designate at least one Back-up ORC who possesses a valid certificate of the type of
system and no more than one grade less than the grade of the system. Please complete
and submit the attached ORC Designation Form with the required Back-up ORC
information.

3. Calibration and/or verification records for the field lab dissolved oxygen (DO) meter were
not present during the inspection and have not been provided to DWR staff. Part II, Section
D. (4.) requires test procedures to conform to EMC regulations, which state that DO
instruments must be calibrated according to the manufacturer's calibration procedure each
day prior to the analysis of compliance monitoring samples. For LDO sensors that cannot
be calibrated by the user, the internal calibration must be verified each day of use. Please
see the attached Approved Procedure for the Analysis of Dissolved Oxygen for detailed
requirements. Additionally, Section D. (6.) of the subject permit requires all calibration
records to be maintained for at least three years.
4. Mr. Lewallen stated that upstream sampling has been conducted at the nearest upstream
bridge, which appears to be the Brooklyn Avenue bridge located approximately one mile
upstream from the outfall. Part I, Section A. (1.) of the subject permit designates the
upstream sampling location as approximately 50 feet upstream from the outfall. If the
upstream sampling location cannot be accessed safely, the permittee may submit a permit
modification request to Charles Weaver at [e-mail] to propose a new
upstream sampling location.
5. No standby power source was present during the inspection. Part II, Section C. (7.) states
that the permittee must maintain adequate safeguards to prevent the discharge of
untreated or inadequately treated wastes during power failures either by means of
alternate power sources, standby generators, or retention of inadequately treated effluent.
items
or concern
1.
An influent manual bar screen is present and in use but is not listed on the supplement to
permit cover sheet. Please list the bar screen as a facility component on the next permit
renewal application.
2.
Mr. Lewallen stated that debris removed by the influent bar screen is either disposed of in
an on -site dumpster and then transported to a landfill or dumped in a city -owned "dead -
animal it". Solids from the bar screen should be properly disposed.
3.
The on -site copy of the subject permit did not include a technical correction issued May 9,
2022. A copy of the technical correction was sent to Mr. Lewallen via email after the
inspection. Please insert the corrected pages into the permit and discard the old pages.
4.
Field laboratory parameters have been performed by the Ramseur WWTP field lab (NC
certified lab #5103), but this information has not been listed on discharge monitoring
reports (DMRs). Please list all certified labs used during each month on future DMRs.
5.
Foam, solids, and dead vegetation appeared to cover approximately 25% of the aeration
basin's surface during the inspection.
6.
The center well of the secondary clarifier appeared to be full of excessive solids during the
inspection.
7.
Some excessive algal growth was observed along the walls, weirs, and trough of the
secondary clarifier.
8.
Mr. Lewallen stated that the influent composite sampler has been programmed to collect
250 mL aliquots once per hour and is therefore not flow proportional.
Plans or measures should be taken to address the indicated violation(s) and/or item(s) of
concern, if applicable. Please be aware that the Division may take enforcement action against
any individual who fails to comply with the requirements of all applicable permits, regulations,
and/or statutes. Pursuant to NC General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.6A, a civil penalty of not more
than twenty-five thousand dollars ($25,000.00) may be assessed against any person who

Other observations:
The current version of NPDES permit NCO026565 became effective May 1, 2022, and will expire
January 31, 2027. The facility is as described in the permit, except for the undocumented presence of
an influent manual bar screen as mentioned in the above items of concern. Access to the plant site is
restricted by a fence.
The DMR and associated laboratory records for September 2023 were reviewed during the
inspection and appeared to be complete with no errors found.
The influent flow meter is a Fischer + Porter ultrasonic model mounted over a Parshall flume, was last
calibrated April 10, 2023, and appeared to be operating properly during the inspection.
Chlorine gas and sulfur dioxide gas were in use for disinfection and de -chlorination, respectively.
Both gas systems appeared to be operating properly during the inspection.
The effluent outfall area was not inspected due to time constraints.

from the outfall.
