Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
City of Rocky Mount — Tar River Wastewater Treatment Facility
NPDES Permit Number NCO030317
Stormwater Permit Number NCG110030
Edgecombe County
On June 11, 2012 Mitch Hayes of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a compliance evaluation
inspection of the subject facility. The assistance of Darrell Highsmith, Amanda James, Angie Boswell,
and you were gratefully appreciated. Please find the attached Basin Wide Information Management
System (BIMS) inspection checklist summarizing each inspection. Below is a list of recommendations
and findings developed from the inspection:
The reissued NPDES Permit NCO030317 effective July 01, 2010 and will expire October 31,
2014. Permit renewal is required within 6 months of the permit expiration date.
2, BIMS lists L. Kirk Bass as the Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) wastewater grade 4
certified (WW-4), Darrell Highsmith as back-up ORC (bORC) WW-4, and David J. Gardner as
bORC WW-4.
3. The 21.0 MGD wastewater treatment facility consists of the following units: influent screw pump
station with 4 screws; 4 automatic bar screens with grit channels; 4 parallel biological nutrient
reduction (BNR) trains utilizing the Anaerobic — Anoxic — Oxic (A20) process with a total of 8
aeration basins, 8 secondary clarifiers and 8 tertiary filters; 1 chlorine contact basin providing 30
minute detention time; 1 dechlorination contact basin; post aeration basin; 4 — 1.5 million gallon
aerobic digesters with pump station; 2 dissolved air floatation (DAF) thickeners with pump
station; 1 sludge truck loading station; an oxygen, generation plant; 3 on site generators capable
of operating the entire plant; 2 reclaim secondary clarifiers with pump station; in house plant
process water distribution system and 1 sodium hydroxide feed system for pH control.
4. At the time of inspection, automatic and manual bar screens and grit removal system were
functioning normally. The following were not in service due to low inflow: 2 out of 4 influent
screw pumps; the "C° automatic bar screen; aeration basin B and the 2 associated rectangle
secondary clarifiers and the # 4 tertiary clarifier; the DAF thickeners and associated pump
station and the #3 digester. The oxygen generation plant was offline and is considered a back-
up source for oxygen. Compressed liquid oxygen is used as an oxygen source in the A20
process. Sludge blanket in the C1 seconda clarifier was 3 feet and 5 feet in secondary clarifier

City of Rocky Mount
Tar River Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant
Edgecombe County
Dear Mr. Hollowell:
I, Ron Boone, of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Raleigh Regional Office (RRO), Surface
Water Protection (SWP) section, conducted wastewater and stormwater compliance evaluation inspections
(CEI) of the subject facility on 8 January 2008. The cooperation and assistance of the Operator in
Responsible Charge (ORC), Leon K. Bass, and the backup ORCs, Darrell Highsmith and Angela Boswell,
were greatly appreciated. The results of the CEI are summarized below and in the attached inspection
reports.
2. This is a Grade IV facility and it is located at 3031 Water Treatment Plant Road in Rocky Mount,
Edgecombe County, NC. It is just north of NC Hwy 97, between Deer Run Road and Cool Springs Road.
The NCO030317 permit allows the discharge of treated wastewater into the Tar River from the Tar River
Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) and the NCGI10030 permit/Certificate of Coverage
(COC) allows the discharge of stormwater to the Tar River from stormwater point source discharges
associated with activities classified as treatment works treating primarily domestic sewage. This section
of the Tar River is currently classified as a Class C, nutrient sensitive water.
3. The plant description in the permit is accurate except for the sludge thickener. This unit can be added to
the plant description in the next permit renewal cycle.
4. The plant is very well operated and maintained. The grounds were well kept and all equipment was in
very good condition. Some minor maintenance work was being done to the grit removal units that were
inactive at the time of the inspection.
5. The flow meters are calibrated monthly and the composite samplers are set up to draw flow proportional
samples over a 24-hour period. Sample coolers were both at 4 degrees Celsius during the inspection.
6. The clarifiers, tertiary filters, chlorination and dechlorination systems and final aeration systems were all
operating normally. No discrepancies were noted.

Two of the four 1.5 million -gallon aerobic digesters were full and in operation during the inspection. Mr.
Highsmith stated that they would likely place another in operation soon to increase capacity and help
avoid foaming problems.
The operator's visitation and operations and maintenance logs were complete and up-to-date. The
laboratory records were also found to be complete and accurate. A review of discharge monitoring reports
for the months-,of"July and October 2007 yielded no errors or inconsistencies with laboratory bench sheets.
The lab is state certified and performs the majority of the permit -required parameters except for the
metals, toxicity'and-pnority pollutants scans.
9. The stormwater pollution prevention plan required by the NCG110030 permit was reviewed and found to
be complete and up-to-date. All regular checks and duties, including training, annual review, qualitative
monitoring, inspection of secondary containments, etc, are being accomplished as required.
10. Please continue your diligence in the proper operation and maintenance of the Tar River WWTP. Should
you or your staff have any questions regarding the inspection or this notice, please do not hesitate to

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspections
Tar River Regional Wastewater Treatment Plant
NPDES Wastewater Permit NCO030317 and
Stormwater Permit NCG 110030
Nash County
On 8 November 2006, I, Ron Boone, of the NC Division of Water Quality (DWQ), Raleigh Regional
Office (RRO), conducted a compliance evaluation inspection at the Tar River Regional Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTP) for both of the subject permits. The assistance and cooperation of Mr.
Wayne Hollowell, Plant Superintendent, Darrell Highsmith, Chief Operator, Leon Bass, Electrical
Supervisor, and Dennis Carpenter, Maintenance Supervisor, was helpful and appreciated. Inspection
reports are attached for your records. Inspection findings are listed below.
2. This plant discharges to the Tar River, this segment of which is classified as a class C, nutrient
sensitive water (NSW) in the Tar Pamlico river basin. The plant is as described in the permit. There
is ongoing construction to install additional aerobic digesters.
3. All plant components were inspected. In general the plant was very clean and well maintained. No
components were noted as inoperable or poorly maintained.
4. The plant experienced a marked increased in flow on the 7th/8th of November as a result of the rain
event of 7 November. According to the operators, just over an inch of rain fell during this rain event.
The marked increase in plant flow strongly indicates the presence of heavy inflow/infiltration (1&1) in
the collection system. The City must undertake measures to identify and correct all sources of I&I in
a timely fashion. Such I&I not only makes the City vulnerable to violations related to the collection
system bui also jeopardizes the plant's ability to treat the wastewater and reduces its ability to remain
compliant with permit limits. Efforts to address this problem should be initiated immediately as
rehabilitation of the collection system can be a very time consuming process.
5. Our records indicate that Mr. Bass is the Operator in Responsible Charge (ORC) of the plant and that
Mr. Hollowell and Mr. Highsmith are backup ORCs. Please submit the necessary paperwork to the
Division to ensure the ORCs are properly reflected in our records.

6. All plant records were reviewed including the operator's -visitation -log, operations and maintenance
logs, discharge monitoring reports (DMR) for 2006, laboratory calibration records and chains of
custody. All were up to date and compliant. Additionally, January and March 2006 DMRs were
compared to laboratory bench sheets and no transcription errors were noted.
7. The influent and effluent samplers were inspected. The thermometer in the influent sampler read 0.7
degrees Celsius at the time of the inspection. Please have your laboratory personnel check the
accuracy of this thermometer and then adjust the temperature setting for the sampler to maintain the
temperature between 1.0 and 4.4 degrees Celsius.
8. The discharge from the plant was observed. No excessive foam, solids or other pollutant indicators
were noted. The right-of-way to the outfall is well maintained.
9. The stormwater program was also reviewed. All records of qualitative monitoring, facility
inspections, secondary containment inspections and employee training, as well as the site map and
general location map were reviewed and found to be compliant. Stormwater discharge outfalls were
inspected and no excessive foams, solids, sheens, or other pollutant indicators were noted.
10. If you or your staff has any questions regarding the inspection or this letter, please feel free to call me
for assistance at 919-791-4200.
