The North Carolina Division of Water Resources conducted an inspection of the Burnsville
WWTP pretreatment program on 2/22/2018, a follow up inspection of the only Industrial User
(Altec) was conducted on 4/13/2018. This inspection was conducted to verify that the facility
is operating in compliance with the conditions and limitations specified in NPDES WW Permit
No. NCO020290 and associated pretreatment program. The findings and comments noted
during this inspection are provided in the enclosed copy of the inspection report entitled
"Compliance Inspection Report".
There were no significant issues or findings noted during the inspection and therefore, a

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Tim Heim of the Asheville Regional Office performed a Pretreatment Compliance Audit (PCA),
concurrent with an inspection of the Collection System, on February 22, 2018. Ronnie Tipton (Public
Works Director), and Jadd Brewer (Pretreatment Coordinator) assisted with the inspection.
Refer to the PCA Form for more detail.
The PAR was reviewed prior to the inspection.
The sole IUP/SIU (Altech Industries) Release Prevention Control and Countermeasure Plan was
reviewed and incorporates the Slug/Spill Control Plan and the TOMP.
SIU sampling and inspection records were compliant, and the Pretreatment Coordinator reports good
communications with the SIU.
The items cited in the May 2013 Pretreatment Audit Inspection have all been resolved.
