LTMP File Review Findings
The POTW is sampling as per the approved LTMP at the appropriate PQLs.
Industrial User Permit(IUP)File Review
File review for Tyson (1003), Ashe County Landfill (1005-1) and Wilkes County Landfill (1004-1)
indicates well organized records and data. The SIUs were not in SNC for the last complete 6-month
reporting period.
No Action Items Necessary for the Pretreatment Program
Final Comments
The Town of Wilkesboro industrial pretreatment program is satisfactory. The POTW administrates an
adequate pretreatment program.
Please inform the control authority's Pretreatment Coordinator of our findings by forwarding a copy of this letter
and the enclosed report.
The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
