The Moore County Water Pollution Control Plant was unable to conclusively determine the cause of the
spike in BOD during the week of 6/2/24 through 6/8/24. It was believed to be related to the population of
the county over doubling during this time due to the attendance at the U.S. Open golf tournament in
Pinehurst. In addition, the spike in BOD might have been connected to a septic hauler that was dumping
industry process solution during this time period. To remedy this, the industry is now required to apply
for a permit to continue their once yearly dumping of 500 gallon totes through septic haulers. This is the
first BOD violation in the previous two years.
If you have any questions, please contact me at 910-947-4332.
