Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
On-site Representatives:
The following Camp Dogwood personnel were in attendance during the inspection: Ms. Hillary
Brodofsky, Ms. Tammy Thomas, and Mr. Jamie Chandler.
OPERATIONS & MAINTENANCE SECTION cont'd:
The following maintenance issues were noted during the inspection:
- The belts needed to be replaced in the blower/motor units;
- No preventive maintenance on the blower/motor units had been implemented including air filter
installation/replacement, oil changes, etc.;
- Excessive vegetation observed inside the fence of the wastewater facility.
Please be advised that the NPDES Permit requires the permitttee to properly operate and maintain the
facility at all times (Permit Condition Reference: Part 11, Section C: Operation and Maintenance). In
addition, the ORC must also ensure that that the Owner is notified (in writing) of any existing and
potential conditions which may interfere with its proper operation and which need corrective action by
the Owner [Regulation: 15A NCAC 2B .0506 (c)(1)]. This notice to the Owner must also be sent to the
Division as an attachment to the monthly monitoring report [Regulation: 15A NCAC 2B .0506 (c)(2)].
DISINFECTION — TABLET SECTION cont'd:
The tablet chlorinator was not being used for chlorination and the wastewater was being dechlorinated
prior to the chlorine contact chamber. Chlorine tablets were being placed in the clarifier effluent weir
trough to disinfect the waste stream. The wastewater must be chlorinated in one of the tablet units
prior to entering the chlorine contact chamber. Dechlorination must be provided after the chlorine
contact chamber. A cover shall be provided (at a minimum) for the tablet unit currently not in service,
even if this unit will remain out of operation, to prevent any leaves, sticks, animals, etc. from entering
and/or impacting the downstream treatment processes. Please be advised that the NPDES Permit
requires the permitttee to properly operate and maintain the facility at all times (Permit Condition
Reference: Part 11, Section C: Operation and Maintenance).

Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation
Yes No NA NE
Comment: Discharae Monitorina ReDorts (DMRs) were reviewed for the Deriod February 2017 throuah
January 2018. No effluent limit violations were reported and all monitoring frequencies were
correct.
The permittee did not maintain three Vears of permit -required reports and monitoring data
(DMRs, lab analyses, chain of custody forms, etc.) as required bV the Permit and 15A North
Carolina Administrative Code (NCAC) 2B .0506 (a)(1)(C) & (D). In addition, a copy of the
Permit was not available; however, a copy was made (from DWR staff copy) during the
inspection.

Comment: On-site field analvses (DH. temperature. total residual chlorine) are Derformed under
Metwater, Inc.'s field laboratory certification #5615. Water Tech Labs (BOD, TSS,
ammonia, fecal coliform) has also been contracted to provide analytical support.
The ORC must verify (every 12 -months) the dissolved oxygen meter's
temperature -measuring device against a NIST traceable temperature measuring device if
the meter's temperature readings are used for compliance measurements (Reference:
North Carolina Wastewater/Groundwater Laboratory Certification approved procedure for
the analysis of Temperature).
Effluent Sampling
Is composite sampling flow proportional?
Is sample collected below all treatment units?
Is proper volume collected?
Is the tubing clean?
# Is proper temperature set for sample storage (kept at less than or equal to 6.0 degrees
Celsius)?
Is the facility sampling performed as required by the permit (frequency, sampling type
representative)?
Comment: The subject permit requires effluent grab samples.
Operations & Maintenance
Is the plant generally clean with acceptable housekeeping?
