Dear Mr. Robinson:
On June 26, 2024, Division of Water Resources (DWR) Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) staff Jesse Barnes conducted
a routine compliance evaluation inspection of the subject wastewater collection system to evaluate compliance with
the subject permit. ORC Antonio Gorham was present during the inspection. A review of records, operations,
maintenance, and system components was completed. This review reflected noncompliance with the subject
permit. Any permit violation(s), item(s) of concern, and/or general observations are listed below. Inspection findings
are detailed in the attached Compliance Inspection Report.
Permit Violation(s)
1. The visual high-water alarm at Pump Station #2: S Dennis St was not operable when first tested during the
inspection. Permittee staff replaced the bulb during the inspection and the visual alarm was then operable. The
visual alarm at Pump Station #2 was also not operable during the previous DWR inspection on June 13, 2019.
Section II. 4. of the subject permit requires the permittee to routinely verify the proper operation of alarms.
2. The audible high-water alarm at Pump Station #5: Franklin St was not operable when tested during the
inspection. The audible alarm at Pump Station #5 was also not operable during the previous DWR inspection on

15. Pump Stations Inspected: The following pump stations were inspected: #2 S Dennis St, #5 Franklin St, and #3
Daniels Bridge Rd. The inspector's observations noted in the next five items below refer to the pump stations
inspected. All inspected pump stations were checked for general condition, proper operation and maintenance
with appropriate recordkeeping, presence of debris, evidence of spills, and operational standby power.
16. Pump Station Signage: Each pump station has signage clearly and conspicuously posted that identifies the pump
station, provides an emergency 24-hour contact telephone number(s), and provides instructions for notification
if the visual alarm illuminates and/or the audible alarm sounds, or if an emergency is apparent. It was noted
that Pump Station #3 listed 911 as the emergency contact number. It is recommended that pump station signage
lists a phone number that directly contacts an individual who can initiate or perform emergency service for the
wastewater collection system at all times.
17. Pump Station Restricted Access: All components of Pump Station #2, S Dennis St did not have restricted access
during the inspection. See Item 8, above. Other inspected pump station sites, equipment, and components were

inspection and was repaired immediately. See Violation 1, above. Pump Station #5's audible alarm was not
operable during the inspection. See Violation 2, above. Pump Station #3's visual alarm was not clearly and
conspicuously visible during the inspection. See Item 9, above. Other tested alarms appeared to operate properly
during the inspection.
20. Pump Station Inspection Program: The permittee has developed and implements a routine inspection program
of each pump station that includes the following maintenance activities: cleaning and removing debris from the
pump station area and wet well; inspecting all valves; inspecting pumps and other mechanical equipment; and
verifying the proper operation of the alarms, telemetry system, and auxiliary equipment. See Violations 1 and 2,
above. Inspection logs are reviewed weekly and emergency/standby equipment are tested weekly by the
permittee. Records related to inspection and maintenance activities are maintained. The inspector reviewed the
inspection logs of the pump stations visited and observed adequate entries of the date and time of the operator's
inspection, observations made, and any maintenance, repairs, or corrective actions taken.
21. Designated Operators: The subject collection system is classified as a CS-2 system, and the designated certified
Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) and back-up ORC (BORC) on record are Antonia Gorham (CS-2) and Roy
Deckard (CS-2), respectively. The certification status for each operator is reflected as active in DWR's records.
22. Cleaning Sewer Lines: The permittee has developed and implements a program for cleaning the sewer lines. As
required by Section II.8 of the subject permit, at least 10% of the wastewater collection system should be
cleaned each year. Preventative cleaning is not required for sewer lines less than five years old, unless an
inspection reveals the need for cleaning. Line cleaning records were reviewed during the inspection and appeared
to be compliant with permit requirements.
23. Spill Response Action Plan: A written Spill Response Action Plan was not available for review during the inspection
and has not been provided to DWR as of the date of this letter. See Item 3, above. Section II. 9. of the subject

restoration and cleanup materials, and post-SSO assessment.
24. SSO Records: The permittee has maintained adequate records pertaining to SSOs and sewer complaints for the
three-year period prior to the inspection. The last reported SSO occurred on June 20, 2016 and resulted in the
issuance of NOV-2016-DV-0238. No unreported SSOs were present in the permittee's records during the
inspection (attested orally). Permittee staff stated that complaint records are maintained at city hall- there were
not reviewed during the inspection.
25. Comprehensive Sewer Maw The permittee maintains an up-to-date comprehensive map of its sewer collection
system. The map includes pipe size, pipe material, pipe location, flow direction, approximate pipe age, number
of active service taps, and each pump station's identification, location, and capacity. The map was reviewed
during the inspection and appeared to meet permit requirements.
26. Inspection of High Priority Lines: Section V. 4. of the subject permit requires all high priority sewer lines (HPLs)
to be inspected by the permittee at least once every six -months. According to reviewed records, all HPLs have
been inspected monthly during the past year. No deficiencies in routine inspection requirements were noted.
The following HPL was inspected for corrosion, misalignment, leaks, pylon condition, bracket/brace condition,
right of way maintenance, accessibility, and general compliance: HPL #1. No issues were noted during the
inspection.
Required Action(s)
Corrective actions addressing each permit violation and item of concern above should be planned and
completed within a reasonable time. Failure to make corrective actions within a reasonable time may result in
enforcement action.
