Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Tim Heim of the Asheville Regional Office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection on
December 21, 2017. Keith Bond (ORC — Bond H2O) and Kyle Young (Camp Maintenance) assisted
with the inspection and facility review. The facility appeared well maintained and operated, and in
compliance with Permit NC0051021.
The addition of a mechanical bar screen and/or grinder pumps could reduce operator exposure to
wastewater and maintenance effort and may be considered as a future upgrade.
