JAY ZIMMERMAN Director On September 21, 2017, Monti Hassan of the Pretreatment, Emergency Response, and Collection Systems (PERCS) Unit and Cheng Zhang of the Raleigh Regional Office (RRO) conducted a Pretreatment Compliance Audit of Johnston County's pretreatment program Your assistance during the audit was greatly appreciated. The audit report is attached. Findings during the inspection were as follows: 1. Town of Clayton has two Significant Industrial Users (SIUs), both are also Categorical Industrial Users (CIUs) It was noted that neither SIU was in SNC for the two most recent semi-annual penods 2. The pretreatment inspection file review included Gnfols (Permit No 0001-02) and Novo Nordisk (Permit No. 0003-02) The files needed for review were available for inspection, contained all the required elements and were in excellent condition. 3 The POTW and SlUs completed monitoring as required by the IUPs during the first semi-annual period of 2017. Both SlUs were in compliance. 4. A review of the files containing the pretreatment program elements was conducted. These files were well organized. All elements were up to date. Headworks Analysis was updated and approved recently 5 LTMP data were reviewed during the inspection. It was noted that all locations were sampled with required frequencies and all samples analyzed with required detection levels since the last inspection. The data were very well organized in spreadsheets 6. As part of the audit, Mr Warren inspected one of the two SlUs, Gnfols The inspection was very thorough and covered all required areas.
