REGAN Secretary LINDA CULPEPPER later;,.. Director Enclosed are copies of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection Reports for the inspections conducted at the subject facilities on March 7, 2018, by Ori Tuvia and Andrew Pitner. Rufus Masters' cooperation during the site visits was much appreciated. Please advise the staff involved with these NPDES Permits by forwarding a copy of the enclosed reports. The main areas of concern that were documented at the time of the inspections are: 1. The Chlorine meter used for sampling for all locations had a chlorine curve calibration that had expired on January 17, 2018. 2. Adjacent to well #1 at Oakley Park WTP, a tree had fallen onto the fence. Should the fence collapse, the tree may hit and adversely impact treatment units or endanger the staff. 3. The effluent pipe fitting at Maplecrest WTP was broken. 4. The ORC and staff must ensure that weekly visitations are documented on all future eDMRs.

Records reviewed during the inspection were oraanized and well maintained. DMRs COCs ORC visitation loos and calibration logs were reviewed for the period March 2017 through November 2017. EDMR for some months fail to show the ORC or staff weekly visit. The inspection verified that the ORC did visit the facility weekly. The ORC and staff must ensure that weekly visitations are documented on future EDMRs. Laboratory Yes No NA NE Are field parameters performed by certified personnel or laboratory? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ Are all other parameters(excluding field parameters) performed by a certified lab? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ # Is the facility using a contract lab? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ # Is proper temperature set for sample storage (kept at less than or equal to 6.0 degrees 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ Celsius)? ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ Incubator (Fecal Coliform) set to 44.5 degrees Celsius+/_ 0.2 degrees? ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ Incubator (BOD) set to 20.0 degrees Celsius +/- 1.0 degrees? ❑ ❑ M ❑ Comment: On-site field analvses (pH and total residual chlorine) are performed under Aqua North Carolina's field laboratory certification #5035. Water Tech Labs (TSS, turbidity, iron, manganese) has also been contracted to provide analytical support. It was discovered at the time of the inspection that the chlorine curve calibration has expired on January 17, 2018. Other than the expired chlorine curve the laboratory instrumentation used for field analyses appeared to be properly calibrated/verified and documented. Effluent Sampling Yes No NA NE Is composite sampling flow proportional? ❑ ❑ M ❑ Is sample collected below all treatment units? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ Is proper volume collected? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ Is the tubing clean? ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ # Is proper temperature set for sample storage (kept at less than or equal to 6.0 degrees ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ Celsius)? Is the facility sampling performed as required by the permit (frequency, sampling type M ❑ ❑ ❑ representative)? Comment: The subject permit requires effluent grab samples Operations & Maintenance Yes No NA NE Is the plant generally clean with acceptable housekeeping? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ Does the facility analyze process control parameters, for ex: MLSS, MCRT, Settleable ❑ ❑ 0 ❑ Solids, pH, DO, Sludge Judge, and other that are applicable? Comment: The facility appeared to be properly operated and well maintained. Adjacent to well #1 at Oakley Park WTP a tree had fallen onto the fence. Should the fence collapse the tree may hit and adversely impact treatment units or endanger the staff.
