Pembroke has requested that Trinity Frozen foods remove by pass from treatment unit. Note any instances of interference or upset from an SIU's discharge, can result the SIU to be in SNC. s. A documented inspection of all SIUs is required once per year and a maximum of 12 months prior to permit issuance. i. Slug/spill Control Plan provides a way to evaluate industries for the need for slug/spill control mechanisms, to avoid slug discharges and take preventative actions in the event of an accidental spill, which would have reasonable potential to cause interference or in any other way violate the POTW's permit conditions. 1. A record of monitoring activities of the POTW is required to show proper collection and handling. Without proper documentation, the control authority may not be able to take necessary action or demonstrate industry responsibility and therefore may be responsible for rectifying the damage. 1. IUPs for both SIUs were modified to reflect current sampling protocol. 1b. NOVs have been sent to both SIUs for failure to meet required sampling.

The design HWA was updated by DVM in 2016 to allow the use of the 1.5X design option for BOD and TSS. No formal approval letter was provided. Requirements - 1. Trinity Frozen Foods and Steven Roberts are in significant non-compliance for reporting violations. These violations are considered significant non-compliance and Pembroke must issue NOVs and a publication in the local newspaper. 2. Perform on-site inspection to determine compliance status of Trinity. 3. Send a copy of the ERP to all SIUs within 30 days. Allows all industry users to receive fair treatment and makes them aware of what to expect in the case of a violation. S 4. Submit PAR by March 1, 2018. 5. Start short term monitoring plan sampling before the end of the first quarter of 2018. Collect quarterly samples through 2018 to complete HWA by April 30, 2019. 1 Recommendations: NOD: ❑ YES ❑ NO NOV: ❑ YES ❑ NO QNCR: ❑ YES ❑ NO POTW Rating: Satisfactory Marginal UnSatisfactory PCI COMPLETED BY: Johnathan Watts, FRO DATE: 02/15/2018 NC DWR Pretreatment Compliance Inspection (PCI) Form Updated December 2016 Page 4 United States Environmental Protection Agency Form Approved EPA Washington, D C 20460 OMB No 2040-0057 Water Compliance Inspection Report Approval expires 8-31-98 Section A National Data System Coding (I e , PCS) Transaction Code NPDES yr/mo/day Inspection Type Inspector Fac Type 1 IN 1 2 15 I 3 I NCO027103 I11 12 18/02/15 17 18 d 19 I c I 201 I 16 211 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 11 1 1 1 1, I f6 Inspection Work Days Facility Self -Monitoring Evaluation Rating 131 QA -------------Reserved----- - 67 70 71 1 I 72 1 N 1 731 I 174 751 III I I I 180 l_J I I I Section B Facility Data Name and Location of Facility Inspected (For Industrial Users discharging to POTW, also include Entry Time/Date Permit Effective Date POTW name and NPDES Dermit Number) 09 00AM 18/02/15 16/08/01 Pembroke WWTP Exit Time/Date Permit Expiration Date NCSR 1339 12 30PM 18/02/15 19/07/31 Pembroke NC 28372 Name(s) of Onsite Representative(s)/Titles(s)/Phone and Fax Number(s) Other Facility Data Jason E Deese/ORC/910-521-2989/ Name, Address of Responsible Official/Title/Phone and Fax Number Contacted Tyler W Thomas, 100 Union Chapel Rd Pembroke NC 28372/Town No Manager/910-521-9758/9105210492 Section C Areas Evaluated During Inspection (Check only those areas evaluated) Other Section D Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) i (See attachment summary) Name(s) and Signature( of Inspector(s) Agency/Office/Phone and Fax Numbers Date gq Johnathan C Watts FRO WQ//910-433-3300/ p I rJ nRAgency/Office/Phone and Fax Numbers Date Signature of Man:�:� Trent Allen RO WOH910-433-3300/ EPA Form 3560-3 (Rev 9-94) Previous editions are obsolete Page# NPDES yr/mo/day Inspection Type 31 NCO027103 111 121 18/02/15 117 18 IpI LJ Section D Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) Page# Permit NCO027103 Inspection Date 02/15/2018 Other Comment Owner - Facility Pembroke WWTP Inspection Type Pretreatment Compliance Yes No NA NE Page# - PUBLIC NOTICE OF SIGNIFICANT INDUSTRIAL WASTEWATER PERMIT VIOLATIONS The Town of Typicalville, in accordance with Federal and State Regulations is hereby giving Public Notice.

These schedules are issued outside of, or separate from, the IUP. If an industry is on a compliance schedule that is part of an IUP, this is not included in the PAR. This type of compliance schedule is not considered an enforcement action that includes stipulated penalties, and it should therefore not be included.
