I met with Kevin White (ORC) for the inspection. There was no flow to the plant at the time. Mr. White said that all the campers had left about 2 weeks prior. The campground is only active for 2 months per year according to Mr. White. Overall the plant appeared to be operated and maintained well. There is evidence of some deterioration at the plant, but mostly just rust on grates and basin walls. The outfall pipe stops short of discharging into the creek by about 12 feet. There is a shallow channel that the effluent runs through into the creek from the outfall, but it's becoming filled in with sediment and should be cleared out. NC0033430 17 (Cont.)
