SUBJECT: 2023 Residuals Annual Report Review
Town of Dobson, Residuals Land Application Program
Permit No. WQ0003796
Surry County

Dear Mr. Atkins:

On April 15, 2024, Division of Water Resources staff Kristen Potwora completed a
review of the 2023 Annual Report for WQ0003796. This review reflects compliance with
the subject permit.

The following observations were noted:
1. The Annual Land Application Certification Form stated that there were 2
permitted application fields, however it should state 3.
2. There were no land application activities reported in the 2023 calendar year. All
residuals were either stored in the Town of Dobson’s WWTP’s two digesters or
hauled to the Mt. Aiy WWTP by PD Quik Septic Service.
Please direct all land application notifications to Kristen Potwora at 336-776-9697 or
[e-mail].

Please refer to the enclosed inspection report for additional comments and observations.
If you have any questions, please contact me or Kristen Potwora at the letterhead address
and phone number, or by email at [e-mail].

Sincerely,

Jennifer F. Graznak, Assistant Regional Supervisor
