The assistance and cooperation of Bradley Flynt, Operator in Responsible c' 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 Paris at r approximate coordinates 36.206500°N, -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, r7 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 '1 waters in the Roanoke River basin. m 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 is still not pulling flow proportional samples as required by the permit. Mr. Flynt requested a waiver for this requirement. The waiver has been granted and has been sent to you in the mail. Please ensure Mr. Flynt has a copy of the waiver and maintains it at the plant at all times. 2. The bar screen was removed when the influent pump station collapsed over a year ago. The bar screen still hasn't been replaced. A new bar screen should be reinstalled as soon as possible to filter out large solids and prevent further severe wear and tear to the equalization basin pumps.Also, a bar screen is included in the plant description in the permit, so it should be there or be removed from the permit. A new bar screen should be installed within 90 days of receipt of this letter. 3. The tertiary filters were not in operation at the time of the inspection. 450 West Hanes Mill Road,Suite#300,Winston-Salem,North Carolina 27105 Phone:336-776-98001 Intemet:www.nodenr.gov An Equal opportunity l Affirmative Action Employer—Made in part by recycled paper �.t,, _ •::: is "`;.y�, _ _ :J ..:Y'3 a/1..�. . _ `Y.. _�SI!_ :Edi-• •Y.•.-_�- -�,� Documentation Review All documentation was reviewed.
