SITE REVIEWS
Mr. Boone reviewed the plants with Mr. Long. For the most part, all plants were in good condition
and well maintained.The effluents were clear and there was no foam at the discharge points.The deficiencies
that Mr. Boone did note are detailed below:
1. Several alarms at the plants did not function when tested. The school board needs to test all alarms
and make sure they are operational.
DOCUMENTATION REVIEWS
There were no problems noted with Mr. Long's documentation for all five plants. Mr. Long had all
the required documentation and it meets requirements.
There were no other discrepancies noted. Please keep up the good work in ensuring the plants
are properly operated and maintained and meeting all the terms and conditions of the permits. Please
remember that in accordance with NC General Statute 143-215.6A, violations of the permit are subject to
enforcement actions not to exceed $25,000 per day, per violation.
If you have any questions regarding the inspection or this letter, please do not hesitate to contact
Mr. Boone or me at 336-776-9800. Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Sherri V. Knight, P.E.
