Craven, Jr., Owner 420 Marion Drive, Unit 31 Wilmington, NC 28412 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Permittee: Lakeview Mobile Home Park, LLC Facility: Lakeview Mobile Home Park Wastewater Treatment Plant NPDES Permit #: NCO051713 Forsyth County Dear Mr. Craven: Donald R. van der Vaart Secretary Ron Boone of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR or the Division) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) of the Lakeview Mobile Home Park Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) on November 10, 2015. The assistance and cooperation of Clifford Cain, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), was greatly appreciated. An inspection checklist is attached for your records and inspection findings are summarized below. General Information The mobile home park is located at approximately 5195 Highpoint Road (Hwy 311), at coordinates 36.0216841 ON, 80.0675824°W. The WWTP is located just off of Highpoint Road, on the north side of the park and just adjacent to the park office. Although in Forsyth County, the park/plant are actually located at a Highpoint address. The permit authorizes the owner to operate this 0.015 MGD WWTP, which consists of an aeration basin with diffused aeration, a clarifier, return activated sludge with constant recirculation airlift pumps, chlorination, dechlorination, post aeration, and an aerobic sludge digester. The permit authorizes the owner to discharge the treated effluent from the WWTP into an unnamed tributary (UT) to Cuddybum Branch via outfall 001. Cuddybum Branch is currently classified as WS -III waters and is located in the Yadkin Pee -Dee River basin. Site Review Mr. Cain has done a good job operating and maintaining the plant. The plant itself was in good`condition and the mixed liquor, clarifier overflow, and plant discharge all looked good. The only thing Mr. Boone noted was that at least one section of the fence is falling down, making it easy for unauthorized personnel to enter the plant grounds. The rest of the fence around the plant looks as though it could also use some maintenance and repair work. Please repair all sections of fencing to maximize security of the plant. Documentation Review 450 West Hanes Mill Road, Suite #300, Winston-Salem, North Carolina 27105 Phone: 336-776-98001 Internet: www.ncdenr.gov An Equal Opportunity 1 Affirmative Action Employer— Made in part by recycled paper All documentation was reviewed and no discrepancies were found. Mr. Cain has done a good job of documenting the operation and maintenance of the plant as required by the permit. This includes operations and visitation logs, discharge monitoring reports and laboratory and field laboratory records, chains of custody, etc. Please continue to work with Mr. Cain to keep the plant in optimum working order and reduce shock loads as much as possible in order to avoid plant upsets. Please be aware that, in accordance with NC General Statute 143-215.6A, the Director of the Division of Water Resources may assess civil penalties not to exceed $25,000 per day, per violation, for violations of the NC0051713 NPDES permit or the NC rules and regulations that implement it. If you have any questions regarding the inspection or this letter, please call Mr. Boone or me at (336) 776-9800. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Sincerely, Sherri V. Knight Asst.
