Comment: During the inspection, DMRs were reviewed from 8/2017 through 7/2018. No effluent limit
violations were observed during the review period. Collection dates and analysis results
documented on DMRs matched collection times and analysis results in the chain -of -custody
forms.
The facility's primary ORC, Robert Durham, and backup ORC, Rick Patterson, were both
observed to have valid certifications in the Division's Basinwide Information Management
System (BIMS) database.
During a review of the ORC visitation log, it was observed that the facility's back-up ORC is
logging the majority of official system visitations. Per the terminal manager, the ORC is
based out of this location and is on site regularly, but visitation log documentation has been
delegated to the back-up ORC. Please be aware that system visitations conducted by the
back-up ORC should not exceed 40 percent of the required system visitations in a calendar
year or 120 consecutive calendar days, as per 15A NCAC 08G .0205.
