On June 27, 2017, Paul DiMatteo of the Division of Water Resources ("Division"), Winston-Salem Regional Office
conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the above referenced wastewater treatment system. Marc Nault,
Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC), was present for the inspection. An inspection summary follows and an inspection
report is attached for your records.
Site Review
Permit
The current permit became effective on June 1, 2017 and expires on May 31, 2022. Permitted components
include a 15,000 -gallon dosing tank, recirculating surface sand filter and chlorine disinfection. A copy of the
current permit was available for review.
2. Facility Site Review
The facility was as described in the permit. The ORC adjusts valves by hand to achieve recirculation of about
1/3 of the effluent after the sand filter.
Operation and Maintenance
The facility appeared to be well maintained. Mr. Nault reported that the sand in the sand filter was replaced
recently and that the sand is raked weekly. Chlorine tablets for disinfection are kept on site and
dechlorination tablets are kept with the ORC.
4. Effluent/Receiving Waters
The outfall was easily accessible and effluent appeared clear with no noted impact to the receiving stream.
Flow Measurement
The permit requires continuous flow monitoring at the influent or effluent. Mr. Nault reported that flow is
estimated by taking readings from the community water supply's meter and subtracting 9000 gallons per
day to account for the fact that roughly 30 residences are connected to the water system but not the sewer
system. The meters on the well pumps are not regularly calibrated.

"Influent" is defined in 15A NCAC 02B.0503(16) to mean "the wastewater entering a water pollution control
facility." Further, "water pollution control facility" is defined to mean "treatment works", or, "any plant,
septic tank disposal field, lagoon, pumping station, constructed drainage ditch or surface water intercepting_
ditch, incinerator, area devoted to sanitary landfill, or other works not specifically mentioned herein,
installed for the purpose of treating, equalizing, neutralizing, stabilizing, or disposing of waste" (GS 143-
213(17)).
Based on the above, please be advised that your current method of flow measurement does not comply
with the requirement for continuous flow measurement. Note also that Part II, Section D.3 requires approval
of the flow measurement device and monitoring location prior to installation, and that the definition of flow
measurement can be found in Part 11, Section A.
Documentation Review
6. Records/Reports
Discharge Monitoring Reports (DMRs) and lab data are maintained according to the permit. DMRs include all
permit parameters. Copies of DMRs, operator visitation logs, lab reports and Chain -of -Custody forms were
available for review during the inspection.
7. Self -Monitoring Program
A review of DMRs from January, 2015 to April, 2017 revealed no violations.
8. Laboratory
All parameters are analyzed by Meritech, Inc. DMRs were compared with lab documents and no errors or
concerns were noted.
9. Sludge Handling Disposal
Mr. Nault reported that you arrange for pumping of the septic tanks throughout the community and
maintain those records. Records were not available during the inspection.
Required Action - To prevent further action by this Division, within 30 days of receiving this report, please reply in
writing with a timeline for installing a continuous flow measurement device that will comply with permit conditions.
If you should have any questions regarding this report, please do not hesitate to contact Paul DiMatteo at (336)
