Case No. NOV-2016-PC-053
Permittee: Cains Way Homeowners Association Water Quality
Facility: Cains Way Mobile Home Park Wastewater Treatment Plant Permitting section
NPDES Permit#: NCO075027
Forsyth County
Dear Ms. Wood:
Ron Boone, of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR or the
Division) conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) of the Cain's Way Mobile Home Park Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP) on February 10, 2016. The assistance and cooperation of Bradley Flynt, Operator in
Responsible Charge (ORC), was greatly appreciated. An inspection checklist is attached for your records and
inspection findings are summarized below.
General Information
The Cains Way Mobile Home Park WWTP is located on the far west side of Cains Way Mobile Home Park at
approximate coordinates 36.2065000N,-80.152222°W,off of Pine Hall Road,in Walkertown,Forsyth County,NC. The
permit authorizes you to operate this 0.0432 MGD WWTP, which consists of an aerated equalization basin, a bar
screen,a splitter box, dual extended aeration basins, a clarifier,tertiary filters,a tube type chlorinator,and a tube type
dechlorinator,and discharge the treated effluent to Ader Creek via outfall 001,which is currently classified as Class C
waters in the Roanoke River basin.
Site Review
Mr. Flynt has done a good job operating and maintaining the plant using the resources that are available to
him. However, there are some issues as noted below:
1. The effluent composite sampler's outer casing is cracked and it cannot maintain temperature of the sample
at or below six degrees Celsius as required. This must be fixed as soon as possible.
2. The owner must provide separate storage facilities for the Sodium Hypochlorite used for chlorination and the
Sodium Bisulfite used for dechlorination. This should also be addressed as soon as possible.
3. The audible alarm on the equalization basin is not loud enough and needs to be replaced with a much louder
unit. This also needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
