The purpose of this inspection was to determine the effectiveness of the Town's pretreatment program,which included: reviewing the files, POTW plant performance, sampling and compliance judgement program, and adherence to the enforcement response plan (ERP). Background The Town operates a 4.82 MGD facility, and has three significant industrial users (SIUs), one of which is categorical: Sans Technical Fibers; Unifi Corporation; and Strum, Ruger&Company. POTW Interview In 2017,the Town issued one Notice of Violation to Strum, Ruger&Company for neglecting to complete its routine semiannual monitoring. However, the opinion of the Division is that the violation should have been considered Significant Noncompliance because the SIU failed to complete 75% of the routine monitoring required by the industrial use permit for that compliance period. Furthermore, Ms. Blackwell said that they did not identify or act on the violation until nearly 6 months after the reporting period closed. Please note that the approved Enforcement Response Plan for the POTW states that reporting violations are to be addressed within 30 days of the report due date. Part IV, Section D.9 of the NPDES Permit requires that the Permittee enforce and obtain appropriate remedies for violations of established pretreatment requirements, and that all remedies, enforcement actions and other shall be consistent with the Enforcement Response Plan approved by the Division. Neglecting to take appropriate action within the time frame specified in the ERP has resulted in this Notice of Deficiency. r::::7—Nothing Compares:"-.1.._ State of North Carolina I Environmental Quality 450 W.Hanes Mill Road,Suite 300,Winston-Salem,North Carolina 27105 Phone:336-776-98001 FAX:336-776-9797 C M You are encouraged to contact the pretreatment staff of the Winston-Salem Regional Office or PERCS unit if you have any questions regarding the implementation of the ERP.
