SUBJECT: COMPLIANCE EVALUATION INSPECTION REPORT
Permit No. WQCS00294
Selma Collection System
Johnston County
Dear Mr. Hester:
On September 23, 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. Walter Kenneth Wall, designated ORC at the time of the inspection, 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. Contingency plans for pump failure were not present at any of the inspected pump stations and no written
contingency plan was available for review. Part I. 7. of the subject permit requires the permittee to maintain a
contingency plan for pump failure at each pump station.
No record of high priority line inspection was available, and Mr. Wall stated that there is no schedule for high
priority line inspection. Part V. 4. of the subject permit requires all high priority lines to be inspected at least
once per every six-month period.
Item) of Concern
3. Permittee staff did not have a current copy of the subject permit during the inspection. Version 3.0 of permit
WQCS00294 is attached to this letter for your convenience.
4. A copy of the Sewer Use Ordinance was not available for review during the inspection. Mr. Wall indicated that
a Sewer Use Ordinance does exist in the Town's ordinances. Part I. 3. of the subject permit requires the
permittee to establish by ordinance, inter -local agreement, or contract its legal authority to require new sewers
be properly constructed; to ensure proper inspection and testing of sewer mains and service laterals; to address
flows from satellite systems and to take enforcement action.
5. A written copy of the fats, oils, and grease (FOG) program rules for non-residential users was not available
during the inspection. The program was described orally by Mr. Wall. Part I. 4. of the subject permit requires
the development and implementation of an enforceable FOG program for non-residential users.

6. A copy of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) was not available during the inspection. Part I. 5. of the subject
permit requires the permittee to adopt and implement a CIP to designate funding for reinvestment into the
wastewater collection system infrastructure. The CIP should typically cover a three to five-year period and
include a goal statement, description of the project area, description of the existing facilities, known deficiencies,
and forecasted future needs. Cost analysis is integral to the CIP.
7. A record of reviewing inspection, maintenance, operational, and complaint logs was not provided during the
inspection. Part II. 2. of the subject permit requires the permittee to develop and adhere to a schedule for
reviewing all inspection, maintenance, operational, and complaint logs.
8. Written records of sewer line cleaning were not available during the inspection. Mr. Wall stated that 10% of
the system has been cleaned annually and a contractor cleaned the entire system during 2022-2023. Part II.
7. of the subject permit requires the permittee to develop and implement a program for cleaning the collection
system. At least 10 percent of the gravity wastewater collection system shall be cleaned each year.
9. The sewer collection system comprehensive map does not include the following information, as required by
Part III. 3. of the subject permit: pipe material, pipe age, and pump station capacity.
10. A copy of the most recent Annual Performance Report was not available during the inspection. According to
DWR's records, no Annual Performance Report for 2023 has been submitted. Section IV. 3. of the subject permit
requires the permittee to provide users, customers, and DWR an annual report that summarizes the
performance of the collection system and the extent to which the collection system has violated the permit or
other regulations.
11. Each inspected pump station listed 911 as the emergency contact phone number on its signage. Part I. 8. of
the subject permit requires pump station signage to list an emergency contact telephone number at which an
individual who can initiate or perform emergency service for the wastewater collection system 24 hours per
day, seven days per week can be contacted.
12. The following high-water alarms were tested and found to be not operational during the inspection: pump
station #7 audible and visual alarms, and pump station #12 audible alarm. All pump stations employ automatic
polling via SCADA.
13. Excessive grease and debris were observed in pump station #9.
General Observation Items
14. Permit Details: Version 3.0 of the subject permit became effective January 10, 2024, and will expire December
31, 2031. DWR records indicate the wastewater collection system consists of approximately 41 miles of gravity
sewer, approximately 7.4 miles of force main, and 19 duplex pump stations. The system appeared to be as
described in the permit.
15. Reported Sanitary Sewer Overflows (SSOs): During the 12-month period prior to the inspection, there were no
SSOs reported to DWR from this collection system.
16. Fats, Oils and Grease Program: The permittee has developed and implements an educational fats, oils, and
grease program that includes at least bi-annual distribution of educational material targeted at both residential
and non-residential users. See Item 5, above. Mr. Wall stated that FOG educational material is included on

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. Item 11, above.
21. Pump Station Restricted Access: Each of the inspected pump station sites, equipment, and components were
observed to have restricted access via locked gated fences.
22. Pump Station High Water Alarms: All pump stations employ automatic polling via SCADA. The inspected pump
stations were equipped with audible and visual high-water alarms and were operable during the inspection
except the following: #7 audible and visual alarm, and #12 audible alarm. See Item 12, above.
23. Pump Station Inspection Program: The permittee has developed and implements a routine inspection 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. Pump Stations are
inspected weekly, and all pump stations employ automatic polling via SCADA. See Item 7, above. 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.
24. Designated Operators: The subject collection system is classified as a CS-2 system, and the designated certified
operators are as follows: Backup ORC Nicholas Hill (CS-2), Backup ORC Gary James (CS-2), and Backup ORC
Guadalupe Tarango (CS-2). The certification status for each operator is reflected as active in DWR's records.
After the inspection, a review of DWR records indicated that Mr. Wall is no longer listed as the facility ORC and
no new ORC has been designated. Part II. 1. of the subject permit requires the permittee to employ and
designate one ORC and at least one back-up ORC. 15A NCAC 08G .0201(3)(b) requires the owner of classified
water pollution control systems to designate an ORC within 120 days following a vacancy in the position of ORC.
Please use the attached ORC Designation Form to report updated operator designations to DWR.

Part II. 7. of the subject permit requires at least 10% of the wastewater collection system to 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. Mr. Wall stated that 100% of the system was cleaned by a contractor in 2022-2023. See
Item 8, above.
26. Spill Response Action Plan: The permittee has developed and maintains a Spill Response Action Plan that
