Dear Permittee:
The North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR) conducted a reconnaissance inspection of the

have been made since the Compliance Evaluation Inspection on August 21, 2018.

are reaching the end of their useable lifespan and staff appear to be operating the facility to the best of their
ability given the constraints presented by aging infrastructure. If you should have any questions, please do not

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Mikal Willmer, with the Asheville Regional Office, conducted a reconnaissance inspection of the
Waynesville WWTP on July 11, 2019. This inspection was conducted to determine what maintenance
and repairs have been made since the last compliance inspection on August 21, 2018.
The following improvements and repairs were noted during the site visit.
New curbing has been installed near the front gate and behind the residuals pad and lime silo to more
effectively direct any runoff back to the headworks for treatment.
The bar screen has been repaired and additional concrete repair work has been completed throughout
the facility.
New grating installed and painting of safety rails completed to improve accessibility and safety.
Diffusers are being repaired within the aeration basins and air distribution appears to have been
significantly improved since the last inspection.
Facility staff are taking measures to repair items in house as aging infrastructure continues to present
problems. Many of the plant's components are past their useable life-span and operations staff appear
to be operating the facility to the best of their ability given the constraints.
