Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Permittee: Allegiance Healthcare Investors, LLC
Facility: Creekside Manor Assisted Living Wastewater Treatment Plant
NPDES Permit #: NCO037311
Forsyth County
Dear Mr. Hammonds:
Dee Freeman
Secretary
Mr. Ron Boone of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ
or the Division) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) of the subject facility on November
2, 2011. Clifford Cain's assistance and cooperation during the inspection was greatly appreciated. An
inspection checklist is attached for your records and inspection findings are summarized below.
General Information
The wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) is located at 6206 Reidsville Road in Kernersville,
Forsyth County, NC, at approximate coordinates 36.2132370,-80.0644000. The permit authorizes
Allegiance Healthcare Investors, LLC, (Allegiance) to operate this 0.01 MGD WWTP, which consists of
a bar screen, aeration basin, secondary clarifier, aerobic digester, tablet chlorination, and tablet
dechlorination. Allegiance is further authorized to discharge the treated effluent from this WWTP via
outfall 001, which is located at approximate coordinates 36.2136110,-80.0636110, into an unnamed
tributary to Belews Creek, this section of which is currently classified as Class C waters in the Roanoke
River Basin.
Site Review
The plant itself appears to be in good condition. Everything is currently operational and the
plant is meeting effluent limitations the majority of the time. No significant maintenance issues were
noted. The mixed liquor in the aeration basin appeared healthy and the settled water in the clarifier
looked clear with very few small solids overflowing the weir. There was some floating scum on the
clarifier surface and some weir blockage but it was minimal and Mr. Cain stated he normally removes
the scum at least three times per week. Mr. Cain is currently using two chlorination tubes and three
dechlorination tubes. Mr. Cain is doing a great job operating the plant.
Documentation Review
All documentation was reviewed. Mr. Cain has done an excellent job producing and keeping
the records needed on file. Discharge monitoring reports and field and non -field laboratory records
