10. There are six outfalls listed for the facility:
a) Outfall 001 consists of drainage from the return sludge pump station; on-site generator
area, chlorine contact chamber and effluent pump station. Flow is conveyed by concrete
Commercial lab results, chain of custody records, and bench sheets were compared with data
submitted on the DMR for the month of September 2007. No discrepancies were noted.
6. The laboratory was checked in a cursory manner. All instrument calibration logs are being
maintained on computer. An operator’s logbook was available and being maintained. Fecal
coliform bath temperature was 44.6 degrees C and the drying oven temperature was 106 degrees.
The influent and effluent flow meters were calibrated October 07, 2007. Influent sampler
temperature was 2 degrees C. and the effluent sampler temperature was 3 degrees C.
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMR’s) for the period December 2006 to September 2007 were
reviewed for compliance with permit limits and monitoring requirements. The BIMS computer is
flagging monitoring violations for chronic toxicity for 12/2006, 03/2007, 06/2007, and 09/2007.
These violations appear to be caused by using the code THP3B for reporting pass/fail results for
chronic toxicity. Please use the code TGP3B when reporting pass/fail results for chronic toxicity.
Monitoring violation for silver was recorded for 01/2007. A pH value of 73 was recorded
05/07/2007 most likely should have been recorded as 7.3. Total residual chlorine is reported as
exceeding the permit limit on 09/06/2007, 09/27/2007, and 09/28/2007. This is reported under
the column TOTAL RESIDUE parameter code 00500. Currently the Little Creek WRF has no
parameter listed however, there is a total suspended residue listed. Please clarify and send in an
amended September 2007 DMR. The annual pollutant scan that is attached to the September
2007 DMR list the Total Residual Chlorine (TRC) result as 12 ug/1. The grab sample for the
TRC analyses was taken 08/23/2007 lists the results on the August 2007 DMR as 0.12ug/l.
Please clarify the August 2007 TRC result and send in an amended DMR. There were no other
violations listed for the review period.
5. In-plant non-potable water using treated wastewater effluent is utilized throughout the plant
under permit WQ0024223. The reuse generation distribution line and pump station with force
main to the Pine Hollow Golf Course is covered under permit WQ22224. Reuse, reclaim water,
and land application permits are currently managed by the Aquifer Protection Section.
clarifier # 2 was 3 feet and clarifier # 3 was 1 foot with both clarifiers having sidewall depths of
14 feet. Effluent appeared clear flowing evenly over the weirs with no blockage. There was no
scum noted in either clarifier. The rotary drum thickener was not being operated at the time of
inspection. Effluent flowing off the tertiary filters appeared clear with no foam or odor. Each
effluent turbine pump is scheduled to be rebuilt. Excavation around the three effluent turbine
pumps has already begun. The effluent discharge pipe was submerged at the time of inspection.
Effluent appeared clear discharging into the Neuse River with no negative impacts.
4. Biosolids are land applied under the Town of Clayton Land Application Permit WQ0023178.
Granville Farms is designated the back-up hauler to land apply biosolids under the GFI Residuals
Land Application Program under permit WQ0000838.
9. Inspection of the stormwater outfalls and plant site was conducted at the same time as the CEI
wastewater treatment plant. Permit NCG110062 was issued and became effective on June 27,
2003 and will expire on April 30, 2008.

Outfall 002 receives drainage from the grassy area in front of oxidation basin number 1,
the area in front of the aerobic digester; chemical feed building, the area around the
sludge holding tanks and the sludge loading station. These combined flows discharge into
a small ditch. There was no discharge at the time of inspection. Water in the ditch
appeared muddy most likely from recent rains.
Outfall 003 receives flow from the on-site generator and fuel tank behind the operations
building, and area near the aerobic digester. The combined flows discharge to low lying
area across from the right side of the operations building.
Outfall 004 receives flow from the parking lot and in front of the operations building.
The discharge point is across the street into a small ditch. There was no discharge at the
time of inspection. There was no water in the ditch.
Outfall 005 receives stormwater flow from the area around the influent pump station and
the reclaimed water pump station. Combined flows discharge to a low-lying area east of
the influent pump station. There was no discharge at the time of inspection. Water at the
discharge point appeared clear.
Outfall 006 is located near the tertiary filter structure. The drainage area around the return
sludge pump and secondary clarifier number 1 and 2 discharge into outfall 006. At the
time of inspection a sediment trap had been constructed from crushed stone in front of the
discharge point. Outfall 006 discharges into a wooded area. There was no discharge at the
time of inspection.
11. Qualitative monitoring for all outfalls was conducted on June 27, 2007 and December 12, 2007.
There is no vehicle maintenance done on site. There have been no spills for the 2006-2007 year.
The stormwater pollution prevention control plan was amended in 2007. Annual employee
training on spill prevention and response occurred on December 13, 2007.

A Final inspection was finally conducted on October 27. 2008 on subject project. The
inspection consisted of reviewing matters at meeting at the Clayton’s Public Works building
followed by an inspection at the site. The original completion date of November 8, 2006 was
not met by TARA Group of Lumberton. The contract completion date was revised by
Change Order no. 2 to December 10. 2006. A final Change Order no. 3 as of this date has not
been accepted or executed by TARA. The actual completion dale is difficult to fix but it was
reported that TARA finally completed all work of punch lists the summer of 2008. The Town
ot Clayton received beneficial use of the facilities June 5, 2007 when aeration basin #1 was
placed back in service, enabling contractor to work on aeration basin #2.

COMMENTS, REQUIRED AND RECOMMENDED ACTIONS ITEMS
Final inspection and discussions indicated facility was operational but action items must be
addressed or resolved before final reimbursement can be made:
1. Upon satisfactory resolution or response to items herein, submit final sales tax report and
reimbursement request for Final Reimbursement.
2. Submit Final Change order (CO#3) or proceed as recommended by legal counsel. In this matter
please advise CG&L in writing on the disposition of the matter.
3. Submit Owners Certification or statement of what issues are pending before such Certification
can be provided to CG&L.
4. The Engineer conducted several Pre-final inspections. TARA was delinquent in returning to job
to complete work but ultimately finished work to extent tolerable to Town and Engineer on or
around August 2008.
CONTRACT Tara Group of Lumberton, Inc., 2700 NC Hwy 72 West. Lumberton, NC 28360
Original Contract Amount- $3,192,000.00
Revised contract amount through Change Order # 2- $3,330,215.84; eligible $3,299,389.44
Original completion date - Nov. 8, 2006, revised to Dec. 10, 2006 via Change Order #2.
Engineer and Owner have attempted to close contract proposing time and payment on CO#3
and additional work in order to settle up with TARA. At this Final Inspection, it was reported
that the 3 parties met Aug. 21, 2008 to discuss final settlement. TARA has yet to respond.
Owner is still holding retainage and has yet to pay for approved and acknowledged extra
work.
For the record this project went 600+ days beyond the contract completion date and is yet to
be closed.
Contract Description -
new 214,500-gallon anaerobic basin for phosphorous removal
300,000-gallon anoxic tank for de-nitrification
new 200,000-gallon anoxic tank
modifications to existing aeration basins
new 360.000-gallon sludge holding/digestion tank,
new sludge thickener building with rotary drum thickener,
2 blowers, 2 submersible mixers and
instrumentation, site work, piping, electrical work, and associated appurtenances
□ expansion from 1.9 MGD to 2.5 MGD in accordance with NPDES Permit NC0025453.
CHANGE ORDERS- CO#1 was approved Feb. 28, 2006 for $0 eligible and 0 days increase. The
reason the costs of CO#1 were ineligible was because it was for Owner preferred equipment.
CO#2 for numerous items totaling $107,389.44 included a 32 day time extension. A CO#3 has
been in process for several months but TARA has been reluctant to and refused to sign it. Thus a
final Change order is still pending and poses a legal dilemma for Owner.

As per our conversation on 12/11/08. we have determined that the Town of Clay ton
would not need an Al C to install an air scrubber and cover decking on the oxidation
ditch splitter box. The additional equipment will not affect the process or add or subtract
any capacities.
