Section D: Summary of Findings/Comments:
1. According to the DMR reports reviewed for the period September 1994 through
August 1995, the plant's effluent was in compliance with the NPDES permit's limits.
There has been one exceedence for flow during a protracted rainy season (I/I
problems). Also, there have been several instances of non -sampling, non -reporting,
or too infrequent reporting. "NOVs" were sent for all permit exceedences or
infractions. The. "ORC" was under the mistaken impression that parameters that
require sampling and reporting on a weekly basis only need to be reported four times
per month (every third month requires five samples).
. On the day of inspection, an Imhoff Cone determinate of the plant's effluent
revealed a settleable solids level of less than .1 ml/ltr.
3. The effluent flow meter was overdue for being inspected once/year (J.S. Dismukes
& Company).
4. Hydrologic Laboratory does all the outside analytical work.
5. All analytical equipment is calibrated and furnished for use by the Red Springs
WWTP.
6. All logs and records are being adequately maintained.
7. DMR and private laboratory data agree (spot check - June 1995).
8. Sludge is dewatered and deposited in the Robeson County landfill.
