On December 4, 2015, Autumn Romanski of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a
compliance evaluation inspection of the subject facility. The assistance provided by Mr. Chris
McCorquodale, Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), and Ms. Ann Clark, Chemist to
complete the inspection was greatly appreciated. The inspection report checklist is attached. The
facility was in compliance with the permit requirements reviewed the day of this inspection. No
response to this inspection is required, but the facility was requested to fonvard an amended
Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) for July 2015 to correct our records.
Siler City WWTP (Classification WW-4) is permitted to discharge 4 MOD (monthly average
flow max), but the facility has the capacity to pump 10 MOD. The current flow averages
between 1-2 MOD. The WWTP consists of: 1) mechanical and manual bar screens 2) grit
collection (new grit auger was installed) 3) Seven collection system influent pump stations pump
flow to the plant which can be treated through the plant or sent to the Influent equalization basin
if needed in heavy rain/I and I events (4) dual oxidation ditches with surface jet aeration 5) Flow
splitter box (alum and caustic feed) 6) dual secondary clarifiers 7) dual aerobic digesters (8)
RAS, sludge transfer station, sludge thickner and storage basins - (Zones 3 A and B used as
needed) and a Dissolved Air Floatation (DAF) unit used as needed 9) Greenleaf Water Treatment
Filters and backwash basin 10) disinfection by chlorine gas and effluent basin (prior chlorine
contact basin)l 1) dechlorination by sulfur dioxide gas and 12) step aeration 13) Biosolids are
processed by Synagro. The facility discharges the treated effluent to Loves Creek, Class C

The facility installed new flowmeter, and new ISCO Influent Samplers both met permit
requirements the day of the inspection. The facility improved the Alum and Lime station
area. The alum is used for phosphate removal and lime for sludge stabilization.
The oxidation ditches were operational and the ORC was optimizing air for nutrient
reduction.
The Plant Superintendent and Primary ORC is Chris McCorquodale, a WW-4 certified
Operator. The BORC is Ann Clark, a WW-3 certified operator and chemist. The ORC
logbook, lab results, chain of custody forms, and DMR’s were complete, current and
readily available for review. The months of December 2014 and July 2015 DMR’s were
reviewed with one discrepancy identified. The facility was requested to provide an
amended DMR for July 2015.
The Outfall 001 discharge flow was very clear and free of solids, foam, with no visually
observable impacts.
The facility has reported in compliance with the permit monitoring and limits within the
last 12 months of review. The facility has used treatment, storage and capacity effectively
to avoid WWTP issues that can result from recent wet weather pattern and I and I flow.
The Division of Water Resources appreciates the Siler City’s investment in the plant:
two equalization pumps re-built, new grit auger, new influent meter and ISCO
sampler, screens, improvement in alum and lime feed station, and planned updates for
disinfection/dechlorination, 3 new remote terminal units, and new Scada system
scheduled. One of those projects includes a possible cover for the chlorine contact
basin, as feasible. The effluent flow meter is currently not centered for the open
channel flow measurement at the parshall flume. The location of the flowmeter to the
side of the chlorine contact chamber should be reviewed to ensure accurate flow and
calibration at this meter, in the event of using effluent flowmeter for DMR reporting.
The facility currently reports influent flow.
waters in the Cape Fear River Basin. The solids are currently disposed/ hauled by Synagro a
North Carolina permitted Solid Waste Disposal Company.

A comment was made on effluent flowmeter placement not alligning with the effluent parshall flume.
This could result in differences (along with other varaibles) bewteen influent and effluent flow results.
The effluent flow is not required nor reported for purposes of meeting the current NPDES permit flow
reporting requirement. The facility reports influent flow as required.

The facility was readily able to find records and does a good job keeping records as
reg ui red.
1) DMR's for December 2014 and July 2015 were reviewed. One discreptancy was noted on
July 2015 DMR. The DO reported for 7/13/2015 and 7/17/2015 was flipped. Please provide
an ammended DMR for July 2015 reflecting correct DO reading for 7/13 and 7/17.
2) The TRC calibration curve needs to be updated annually. Please update 2015 TRC
calibration curve.
Attached is the Field Lab Checklist. The facility runs TRC, pH, Temp, Do, and Setteable
Residue. The facility utilizes NC certified lab Meritech. The facility will submit an amended
July 2015 DMR correcting the DMR Dissolved Oxygen result for July 13, July 17, with the lab
fieldsheet result.
