A Pretreatment Audit Inspection was performed by George Smith and Jim Gonsiewski of the
Winston-Salem Regional Office, on the subject facility on September 21, 2017. Ms. Gisele Comer
and Ms. Eglantina Minerali were present for the inspection. The purpose of this inspection was to
determine the effectiveness of the pretreatment program and included a review of pretreatment
program elements, POTW plant performance, industry monitoring data, and adherence to the
enforcement response plan (ERP).
The City currently has six (6) Significant Industrial Users (SIU), five (5) of which are categorical.
There were no SIUs in significant non-compliance (SNC) during the previous semi-annual period for
permit limits or reporting violations.
The audit showed the pretreatment program maintained in an excellent manner. Please refer to the
attached report for further detail. If you have any questions, please contact George Smith at (336)
776-9700.
