Section D• Summary of Findings/Comments:.
DEQ-CFW 00061056
1. Mr. Hall produced a copy of the current NPDES permit when asked. It is suggested that all
staff associated with the day to day operation of the wastewater treatment facility read the
permit periodically.
2. Aqua -Tech and Burlington Laboratory performs the "outside" permit required analytical work
for the facility.
3. A log of daily operations was reviewed. The log is maintained in a manner that allows staff
to develop trends and determine necessary operational modifications to insure compliance.
The facility is maintained at a MISS of about 2600 mg/1, a F to M of 0.13. MCRT is about
31 days and average D.O. (aeration basin) is reported to be 6.4.
Phosphoric Acid and Ammonia (NH3) is introduced in the aeration basin to maintain proper
biological activity. Polymer is introduced in the clarifiers to aid in settling. Defoamer is used
when necessary.
Trends and all modifications to the operational scheme should be recorded in order to
develop a basin line of data to assist when the inevitable upset occurs. The staff should be
commended in keeping this data in such a user friendly manner.
4. A limited spare parts inventory is maintained at the facility. It is strongly suggested that this
inventory is reviewed at least annually to determine such items as local availability, order/
delivery time, age of currently utilized components and overall history of service for each key
component of the wastewater treatment facility.
5. On the day of inspection, the effluent appeared to clear and free of excessive solid.
6. DMR and laboratory data agree for discharge pipe .001 for September 1997 (spot check).
It was noted that monitoring for OCPSF parameters revealed no concentrations above
detectable levels for the data reviewed.
7. Sludge (residuals) is processed utilizing a "DAF" unit, sludge holding tank, sludge press and
dryers. It is delivered to `BFI" landfill site located near Roseboro, Sampson County for
disposal.
8. Based on information obtained during the inspection all wastewater staff have been trained
in Confined Space entry techniques.
