RF -GAN &5—fa-2 D re cabr RECEIVEMCDEO/Miffl, OCT 18 2017 t,Naker Duality Permi!ang Section The North Carolina Division of Water Resources conducted an inspection of the Parkton WWTP on 9/19/2017. This inspection was conducted to verify that the facility is operating in compliance with the conditions and limitations specified in NPDES WW Permit No. NC0026921. The findings and comments noted during this inspection are provided in the enclosed copy of the inspection report entitled "Compliance Inspection Report". Comments • Facility was clean and neat in appearance at the time of the inspection. • Maintenance logs and ORC logs were up to date. A Whole Effluent Toxicity test was collected using a 24-hour composite sample collected on September 19 and 21, 2017 for use in a chronic Ceriodaphnia pass/fail toxicity test. These samples were sent to the Division of Water Resources (Aquatic Toxicity) Laboratory in Raleigh, NC. The Whole Effluent Toxicity pass/fail test resulted in a "PASS" result. The test results indicated that the Outfall 001 Effluent would not be predicted to have water quality impacts on the receiving stream-Dunns March in the Lumber River Basin. • It was noted during the inspection that the town was stockpiling yard debris next to the WWTP. Please contact Drew Hammond or Amada Freemen with the Division of Waste Management in the Fayetteville Regional Office for proper guidance on this activity. There were no significant issues or findings noted during the inspection and therefore, a response to this inspection report is not required. i State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality I Water Resources 225 Green Street, Suite 714, Fayetteville, NC 28301-5043 910-433-3300 If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Mark Brantley with the Water Quality Regional Operations Section in the Fayetteville Regional Office at 910-433-3300 or via email at mark.brantley@ncdenr.gov.
