Dear Mr. Thompson:
MAILED
L/UiQ
On May 10, 2019, Cheng Zhang of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a compliance
evaluation inspection of the subject facility. The assistance provided by Mr. Chris
McCorquodale, the operator in responsible charge (ORC), and Ms. Britney York, the interim
Wastewater Treatment Plant Superintendent, was greatly appreciated as it facilitated the
inspection process. The inspection report is attached. The following observations were made:
Siler City WWTP is permitted to discharge at a rate of 4.0 MOD and consists of: automatic
and manual bar screens, grit collection unit, influent pump station, influent equalization basin
(Zone 2), dual oxidation ditches with surface jet aeration, flow splitter box, alum feed station,
lime feed station, dual secondary clarifiers, dual aerobic digesters, sludge transfer station,
dissolved air flotation (DAF) unit (Used as needed), sludge thickener basin, influent
equalization or sludge storage basins (Zone 3 A & B used as needed), four tertiary filters,
filter backwash sasin, gaseous chlorine disinfection, chlorine contact chamber, gaseous sulfur
dioxide dechlorination, and step-aeration. The facility discharges into Loves Creek, which is
classified C waters in the Cape Fear Basin.
1. The current permit was modified on April 40, 2019 and expired on May 31, 2019. An
interim total nitrogen load limit was added in the modified permit (effective from January

rffectiv^on January 1, 2023.
3. Wasted activated sludge is treated in the two aerobic digesters, and thickened in the
sludge thickener basin. Final sludge is hauled away for land application.
If you have any questions regarding the attached reports or any of the findings, please contact
Cheng Zhang at: [phone] (or email: [e-mail]).
2. At the time ot inspection, all listed treatment units were in operable conditions. Some
treatment units (equalization basins and DAF unit) were not in use. The plant experienced
multiple cadmium violation in the past years, the issue appeared solved after polymer was
fed to clarifier splitter box.
6. Field lab parameter (Certificate No. 132) calibration and analysis records were reviewed
during the inspection.
5. The right of way to the outfall was well maintained. No visible impacts were noted
immediately downstream the effluent pipe.
4. The ORC maintains a daily logbook. Lab results, chain-of-custody forms, and DMRs
were complete and current, kept in good order and ready for review. February 2019 DMR
data were compared to lab bench sheets; no data transcription errors were noted. Influent
and effluent flow meters were calibrated annually.
