Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Notice of Deficiency
NOD -2018 -PC -0025
City of Mount Holly WWTP
NPDES Permit No. NCO021156
Gaston County
Dear Mr. Johnson:
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection for the inspection conducted at
the subject facility on February 13, 2018, by Ori Tuvia and Maria Schutte. Ralph Douglas'
cooperation during the site visit was much appreciated. Please advise the staff involved with this
NPDES Permit by forwarding a copy of the enclosed report.
The main area of concern observed at the time of the inspection was both clarifiers required
maintenance. At the time of the inspection, the clarifier weirs had excessive algae growth and small
connecting sections were missing allowing for less than optimal clarifier operation.
The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions concerning
this report, please do not hesitate to contact Ori Tuvia at [phone], or at ori.tuvia&ncdenr.gov.
Sincerely,
EJ&
