NCO085928 I11 121 19/06/25 117 18 JCJ Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) Staff from the MRO performed a Compliance Inspection for the American Truetzschler facility under permit NC0085928. During the site visit, a facility review was performed. It may have been previously mentioned that the paperwork for the system needed to be kept at the treatment system. However, the paperwork and permit have become damaged. Please keep the paperwork in an office area where it can be protected. Laboratory data were reviewed during the site visit. Three years of data were present for review. The data appears to be in order an complete. The permit indicates that flow is through a UT to the Catawba River. Flow is actually through an engineered ditch. Discharge flow from the treatment system never reaches the Catawba River. The subject of the installation of a ditch or pipe to the Catawba River has been discussed in the past with regards to reducing the Bio-monitoring percent passing requirement for this permit. A file review does not indicate a resolution to the issue of pipe/trench installation has been established. The installation of trench/pipe should display the 7Q10 flow for this system is not enough to reach the river and discharge flow will eventually percolate into the soils. Currently, the system has been able to attain the 90% pass requirement, so the permittee may also choose to submit the permit renewal with no change rather than incur the expense of pipe or trench installation. If you chose to submit the permit renewal with no change, the MRO will accept this as the resolution of this issue. The current permit is scheduled to expire in a year. Please be sure to submit the renewal application at least 180 days prior to permit expiration. Page# Permit: NCO085928 Owner - Facility: Truetzschler remediation site Inspection Date: 06/25/2019 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Permit Yes No NA NE (If the present permit expires in 6 months or less). Has the permittee submitted a new ❑ 0 ❑ ❑ application? Is the facility as described in the permit? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ # Are there any special conditions for the permit? ❑ 0 ❑ ❑ Is access to the plant site restricted to the general public? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ Is the inspector granted access to all areas for inspection? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ Comment: During the inspection, the permit was reviewed with Mr. Gary Hames of American Truetzschler. The various part of the permit were explained to Mr. Hames. MRO contact information was also left with Mr. Hames in the event that he had any questions pertaining to the permit. I requested that the permit and supporting document be kept in Mr. Hames office for the protection of the paperwork. Operations & Maintenance Yes No NA NE Is the plant generally clean with acceptable housekeeping? 0 ❑ ❑ ❑ Does the facility analyze process control parameters, for ex: MLSS, MCRT, Settleable ❑ ❑ ❑ Solids, pH, DO, Sludge Judge, and other that are applicable? Comment: O&M records were Dresent. The records aDDeared to be current and complete for three years. The effluent meter appears to be relatively new. However, effluent flow meter calibration records are not up-to-date. Please perform an internal calibration of the meter and submit the calibration information by email to the MRO. The outfall displayed no foam, solids or odor being present. However, debris obstructing the discharge flow -path prevented being able to follow the discharge channel. This area should be kept assessible for purposes of being able to inspect flow. Please submit a copy of the waste manifest for the spent Carbon. Samples for this system are collected at the system outfall. Page# 3
