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. 2. The filter beds at Courtney and East Bend schools had a significant amount of algal and vegetative growth.This should be kept to a minimum by regularly raking the beds. DOCUMENTATION REVIEWS There were no problems noted with Mr. Matthews documentation for all five plants. Mr. Matthews 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 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.
