The assistance and cooperation of Lindsey Tuttle, Operator in Responsible Charge(ORC), Ricky Fain, Pump Station Mechanic, and Cathey Justice, FOG Coordinator,was greatly appreciated. A detailed inspection checklist is attached for your records and inspection highlights are summarized below. No significant permit condition violations were noted during the inspection. However, Mr. Boone did note the following minor discrepancy: 1. The town's wastewater collection system capital improvement plan (CIP) needs a narrative section that includes a goal statement and descriptions of the project areas and existing facilities for each project. Although not considered severe in nature, the above-listed discrepancy still technically represents a violation of the collection system permit and should be corrected as soon as possible. Mr. Boone has conveyed to me that he thinks the city's collection system management program is very good and needs little improvement.As we are aware that these conditions can change quickly, please remain vigilant in properly managing the program to comply with all permit conditions.
