The Central and Regional Offices have reviewed the Pretreatment Annual Report (PAR)
covering January through December 2005. This PAR was received on February 21, 2006.
While the PAR is considered complete and satisfies the requirements of 15A NCAC 2H .0908(b)
and the Comprehensive Guidance for North Carolina Pretreatment Programs, the allocation
table requires an update, as the current IUP expiration date for Smithfield Packing is past due.

The creek where two of the outfalls discharged into, appared clear with very little turbidity. The quality of the
water in the catch basin and in the woods next to the old headworks could not be determined due to a
locked gate. Qualitative monitoring reports from Outfalls 1, 2, 3, and 4 was available for 10/18/2005.
Qualitative monitoring for Spring 2006 was missed. Fall qualitative monitoring report completed on
09/29/2006, was faxed to this office on 10/03/2006. There were no significant spills or leaks during the last 3
pervious years.
A site map of the wastewater treatment facility was dated 1972. This map should be an up to date map
showing all drainage areas for each stormwater outfalls as well as each outfall. The map should indicate
building locations, existing BMPs and inmpervious surfaces and the percentage of each drainage area that
is impervious.

If your laboratory has already conducted a blind study for these analyses in 2006, please supply this office with a copy of the results. If a blind
study has not been completed in 2006, your laboratory must secure and analyze performance evaluation samples and have your
approved selected vendor provide us with the results. Likewise, our program requires that you arrange to procure blind follow-up samples
for all unacceptable results. All follow-ups to unacceptable results must be completed and submitted by the vendor, within 60 days of
the reporting date to NCLC. To maintain certification for each parameter, a certified laboratory must analyze an acceptable performance
evaluation sample per parameter per year. The 2006 calendar year Proficiency Testing (PT) schedule for NC Laboratory Certification (NCLC)
will end on December 31, 2005. All initial PE samples results must be submitted to this program (NCLC) on or before December 31, 2006. All
PE results submitted for certification requirements must be sent directly to us by the accredited vendor. Failure to report these required PE
studies by December 31, 2006 will be considered as a first unacceptable result for certification purposes.

This follows-up the letter sent to you from the City of Wilson dated July 28, 2006
pertaining to two (2) recorded dissolved oxygen (DO) violations. Upon further
investigation it was determined that the monitoring technician made a transcription error
when he transferred the readings to the log book. The pH and DO values are recorded
next to each other in the log book. The values were written in the wrong columns;
therefore, there were no DO violations as described in the July 28 letter.

Thank you again for your cooperation during the inspection. Contact us at 919, 733-2908, extension 249 if you have
any questions or need additional information regarding our requirements.
Your letter, received August 1, 2006 concerning corrective actions for your analytical procedures has been reviewed.
The quality control measures taken in reference to the deficiencies cited in the June 26, 2006 inspection report are
acceptable. However, this report does not attempt to comprehensively address all certification requirements prescribed in the
North Carolina Administrative Code (15A NCAC 2H .0800), promulgated methods, and applicable Code of Federal
Regulations (40 CFR 136). It is the responsibility of the certified laboratory to address any required changes in application
information, to correct the Laboratory Standard Operating Procedures and the Laboratory Quality Assurance Manual when

The standard operating procedures (SOP) for flagging and reporting violations
were not followed thus leading to the DO violations. A new monitoring technician began
work the week of July 10, 2006. The SOP requires the monitoring technician to
immediately notify the laboratory supervisor, lead operator or the plant manager in the
event the DO is below 7.0 mg/1. If the value is below 7.0 additional samples are to be
taken and averaged as allowed in the Permit. Only one (1) grab sample was taken each
day. The DO was back in compliance July 19.
Disciplinary action has been taken against the employees involved for failure to
follow sampling procedures.

On March 22, 2006 Mr. Christopher Wu of the Raleigh Regional Office performed a
pretreatment compliance inspection at the City of Wilson Wastewater Treatment Plant with the
assistance of Ms. JoEllen Gay, laboratory technician and acting pretreatment coordinator of the
facility. The inspection report is attached. Ms. Gay’s assistance was greatly appreciated as it
Bruce Foods sends intermittent discharges to the POTW. When the SIU discharges it
will release 64,800 gallons to the wastewater plant; otherwise it discharges nothing
(because it land applies wastewater). Representatives of Bruce Foods want to incorporate
the 0 flow conditions in order to reduce monthly averages. This practice, however, is
not representative of the discharge, and Bruce Foods representatives need to be informed
of this.
There are currently 17 Significant Industrial Users (SIU) discharging to the POTW, 8 of
which are Categorical Industrial Users (CIU). VF Jeanswear, a former SIU, closed
operations and no longer discharges to the POTW. Bruce Foods, however, was recently
added as a SIU.
Bruce Foods is also the source of numerous odor complaints. The wastewater from the
land application process has a very potent odor from where the citizen complaints
originate.
period. The SIU submitted its semi-annual monitoring reports outside of the allotted 30-

The POTW stated that they experienced difficulty with it contract laboratory, Microbac.
Microbac has been inconsistent when reporting detection limits for pharmaceutical
organics. Ms. Gay stated that she would contact the lab to find the origins of such
discrepancies. Microbac, however, happens to be a popular contract lab amongst the
SIUs discharging to the City. Ms. Gay was told to send out a letter to all industries
requesting them to ensure the accuracy and consistency of their data with regards to their
permits. If persistent errors exist each SIU will be subject to SNC status.
Ms. Gay is doing an excellent job of meeting the pretreatment program goals for the City of
Wilson. As acting pretreatment coordinator she has taken on an additional load of responsibility
(added to an already busy schedule), but she has so far managed the program quite well.
An inspection of Merck Pharmaceuticals was conducted with the assistance of Mr. Ethan
Priest, Environmental Engineer of the facility. Ms. Gay was very thorough in her
inspection.

November 9, 2005-Toxicity Test
City of Wilson WWTP
NPDES No. NC0023906
Wilson County
Ms. Collins,
Thank you for submitting the supporting information requested for the November 9, 2005 effluent
toxicity test result for the City of Wilson WWTP. All relevant information has been reviewed by
Aquatic Toxicology Unit staff. A result of‘‘pass” has been recorded for the November 9. 2005 test.
To investigate the apparent difference in results obtained from the tests, we examined documentation
concerning sampling, testing, and lab procedures. Water quality parameters of the control waters for the
tests were similar. All quality assurance documentation from both labs was in order. However, your
facility’s split sampling procedure should be modified. As Mr. Ferrell, a member of our staff, explained
to you on 2/8/06, the procedure should be modified so that a small amount (i.e. approximately one
quarter of container volume or less) be poured into each laboratory's shipping container making certain
the sample is mixed between each pouring. This pouring procedure should be repeated for each
laboratory’s container until all are full. Using this split sampling method avoids the possibility ol one
laboratory receiving a sample containing a greater concentration of any stratified toxic constituents.
In a voice mail message on 2/10/06 for Mr. Fen-ell. you informed him the samples were mixed only once
before the sample was poured into each laboratory’s shipping containers; and according to your
records, the ETT Environmental, Inc. sample containers were filled last. Since the 11/8/05 and 11/11/05
samples were not mixed according to the method described above, it is possible that the sample sent to
ETT Environmental, Inc. contained a greater concentration of stratified toxic constituents.
We have not determined that any of the labs involved violated any defined protocols. Each laboratory
produced appropriate chain-of-custody and quality assurance documentation. Effluent water quality
parameters measured at each laboratory were reasonably similar. Under these circumstances it has been
our policy to accept the result which lies in favor of the discharging facility. A result of "pass’' has
been recorded for the November 9, 2005 toxicity test.

In order to make the tie-in from the existing BNR basins influent channel to the
new BNR basin 7 influent channel, BNR basins 4, 5 and 6 had to be taken out of service
to access the channel. A six inch centrifugal pump will be used to maintain some flow
through BNR basin 4 but basin 4 will not be at full capacity. The temporary loss of
biological treatment space may cause reduced efficiency. The existing BNR basin
influent channel does not provide enough isolation gates to remove one or two basins at
a time. The concrete cutting of the influent channel wall begins tomorrow. The tie-in
should be completed by Wednesday February 22.
