SUBJECT: Bioassay Compliance Inspection Report
Maggie Valley WWTP
NPDES WW Permit No. NC0056561
Haywood County
Dear Permittee:
The North Carolina Division of Water Resources (DWR) conducted an inspection of the Maggie Valley WWTP on
7/11/2019. This inspection was conducted to verify that the facility is operating in compliance with the
conditions and limitations specified in NPDES WW Permit No. NC0056561.
Please note, DWR’s Bioassay Laboratory invalidate their test results due to a QC failure. Additional splits are not
being requested by the Asheville Regional Office (ARO) at this time. The Town will be notified by the ARO if an
additional split sample is required later this year.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 828-296-4500 or via email at
mikal.willmer@ncdenr.gov.
Sincerely,
Mikal Willmer, Environmental Specialist

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Mikal Willmer, with the Asheville Regional Office, performed a bioassay compliance inspection of the
Maggie Valley WWTP. Whole Effluent samples were split on Tuesday July 9th and Thursday July 10th
for use in a Chronic Ceriodaphnia dubia pass-fail toxicity test. The Town's samples were analyzed by
ETS and will be reported as either pass/fail on the July DMR and submitted to our Bioassay
department as part of their routine quarterly toxicity testing. DWR's samples were analyzed by our
Bioassay Laboratory in Raleigh.
Please note, the State Bioassay Laboratory has invalidated the results of their test based on a QC
failure. The results indicated 100% survival in the test effluent, but the control sample survival was only
67%. Currently the ARO is not requesting an additional split at this time. The Town will be notified if
DWR intends to split toxicity samples in the future.
