Dear Mr. Pridgen:
On October 22, 2012, Mitch Hayes of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted the subject inspection.
Debbie Collins and your assistance with the inspection were greatly appreciated. Below is a list of findings
and recommendations developed from the inspection.
1. The subject permit was reissued and became effective December 01, 2009 and expires May 31,
2013. Permit renewal is required 180 days prior to pernit expiration date.
2. The 14.0 MGD Wastewater Treatment Facility consists of the of the following units: influent pump
station; two (2) automatic bar screens; manual bar screens; screenings compactor; automatic grit
removal; influent ultrasonic flow meter; two (2) pre -aeration basins; two (2) biological phosphorus
removal tank; three (3) primary clarifiers; seven (7) aeration basins with seven anoxic zones and one
reareation zone; five (5) secondary clarifiers; methanol feed facilities; five (5) deep bed denitrification
filters with automatic or manual backwashing; sodium hypochlorite disinfection tank; reareation
basin with sodium bisulfite dechlorination; effluent ultrasonic flow meter; effluent pump station; one
(1) reuse water basin; a reclaim water facility; one (1) plastic lined reclaimed water pond; four
anaerobic digesters heated by natural gas or methane generated from digesters; a sludge
thickening and dewatering building with two (2) gravity belt thickeners, two (2) belt filter presses,
three (3) return waste activated sludge pump stations; a ten -ton per day alkaline sludge stabilization
facility capable of producing Class A dewatered sludge; three (3) liquid sludge holding tanks; and a
septage receiving station.
3. At the time of inspection the following was observed: one mechanical screen, one grit collector, two
grit classifiers, one primary clarifier, 7 and 2 treatment trains, two biological phosphorus tanks, five -
secondary clarifiers, and five tertiary filters were in operation. The preaeration tank was not in
service. The filter belt presses were not in operation however; they operate ever Tuesday morning
and Friday evening. There was some Class A and Class B biosolids stored under shelter. One
digester methane unit was not in service due to a broken cover. The other 3 digester methane units
were operating normally. Excess methane was being ignited. The color of the influent was a medium
chocolate brown with foam covering over 90% of the service, which is normal for this type of
treatment process. All air diffusers in the aeration basins appeared to be operating normally.
Dissolved oxygen A'basin 2 was 2.32 mgll and 3.53 ma/1 in basin 3. Microseed 3000 is beina added

on the southeast side of the property and is conveyed to the same creek that discharges from
Outfall 4 via a concrete flume. There was no discharge at the time of inspection. Outfall 2
flows from behind the reuse water pump station to a small pond. Water in the pond appeared
muddy most likely due to wildlife. Outfall 1 flows to a storm drain by the influent pump station
to a settling basin (Raymond's Pond) off site. A locked gate valve controls discharge. Water
at the gate valve appeared clear.
13. Qualitative monitoring was last completed for all stormwater discharge outfalls on

4 circuit breaker on March 21, 2009 forced staff to take the influent pump station out of
service. Three out of four influent pumps are now operational. Auxiliary pumps have been set
up to provide back-up pumping in case electrical problems reoccur. Sludge thickening by
gravity belts were operating normally. The digester methane -generating unit was functioning
normally. Excess methane was being ignited in the burner. There was a small leak in the
digester heat exchanger. A digester will be taken off line to check the gasket and replace if
necessary. The color of the influent was a medium chocolate brown with some foam. All air
diffusers in the aeration basins appeared to be operating normally. Sludge judge reading in
clarifier number 1 was 2 1/2 feet with a sidewall depth of 14 feet. The weirs are covered and
therefore the condition of the weirs could not be checked. Weirs are checked annually and
cleaned if necessary. Effluent appeared clear in the post aeration tank.
4. Granville Farms operates the Land Application Program under permit WO0001896. Class B
solids are land applied on private farms or transported to Eastern Composting in Battleboro,
NC. Class A solids are used by the City of Wilson in various landscaping projects. There
were no Class A or Class B sludge being produced at the time of inspection. The last Class A
sludge produced was in October 2008. Class A and Class B sludge were stored separately
under the shelter.
5. Reclaimed water is distributed under permit WQ0018709. Reclaimed water is irrigated on
Wedgewood Golf Coarse and at the J. Burt Gillette Athletic complex. Reclaimed water is also
used in cooling water at the Bridgestone/Firestone Plant, Hackney Industrial Park, and the
Wilco Industrial Park. Reclaimed, reuse water permits and other non -discharge permits are
regulated by the Aquifer Protection Section (APS). All correspondence pertaining to these
permits should be directed to the APS.
6. The laboratory was checked in a cursory manner. All instrument calibration logs are being
maintained. The BOD incubator temperature was 19.5 degrees C, BOD water incubator was
20 degrees C, the drying oven was 105 degrees C, sample refrigerator was 3 degrees C, and
fridge #2 was 4 degrees C. An operator's logbook was available and being maintained. The
influent flow sampler temperature was 0 degrees C without freezing. The effluent flow
sampler temperature was 0.5 degrees C without freezing. The influent and effluent flow
meters are calibrated every 90 days by Pearson Controls Services from Raleigh, NC.
7. Discharge Monitoring Reports for the period June 2008 to January 2009 were reviewed for
compliance with permit limits and monitoring requirements. Monthly permit limit for ammonia
nitrogen was exceeded for October 2008 due to the plant experiencing an upset. The reason
for the upset is not known. There were no other violations for the review period.
8. Commercial lab results, chain of custody records, and bench sheets were compared with
data submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) for the month of January 2009. No
discrepancies were noted.
Stormwater Permit NCG110081
9. Permit NCG110081 was reissued and became effective on June 01, 2008 and expires on
May 31, 2013. The reissued permit contains the following changes: The site plan must
include a general location map (or alternatively the site map) that identify whether each
receiving water is impaired (on the state's 303(d) list of impaired waters) or is located in a
watershed for which a TMDL has been established, and what the parameter(s) of concern
are. A list of North Carolina's 303(d) list can be found at the web site
http_://h2o.enr.slate.nc.us/tmdl/General 303d.htm_#Down loads North Carolina TMDL
documents can be found at the website
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/tmdI/TMDL list.htm#Final TMDLs The definition for a rain event
has been modified. A schedule for qualitative monitoring is now implemented. Schedule for
the facility site inspection has been changed to once during January to June and once during
Hominy Creek WRF CEI
Page 3
July to December with at least sixty days separating inspection dates unless performed more
frequently. There are no other significant changes made to the permit. A review of the permit
requirements was conducted after the CEI for NC0023906. A copy of the permit was on hand
and contained all permit requirements with the exception of the new requirements noted
above.
10. There have been no changes to the facility since 2006. The last issued map for the facility
shows all process units.
11. There are four stormwater discharge outfalls listed on the stormwater map. Outfall 4 drains to
a catch basin with diffuse flow near the entrance to the property. The stormwater flows to a
creek off site. Water appeared clear in the catch basin. Outfall 3 flows from the drainage area
on the southeast side of the property and is conveyed to a creek off site via a concrete flume.
Water in the creek appeared clear with no indication of sediment. Outfall 2 flows from the
reuse water pump station to a small pond. Water in the pond appeared muddy most likely
due to previous rainfall. Outfall 1 flows to a storm drain by the old headworks pump station to
a settling basin (Raymond's Pond) off site. A locked gate valve controls discharge. Water at
the gate valve appeared clear.
12. Qualitative monitoring was last completed for all stormwater discharge outfalls on
09/12/2008. Please ensure to follow the qualitative monitoring schedule as stated in the
permit. Workman's Comp. Safety meeting was completed on 10/28/2008.
I would like to thank you and your staff for you time and assistance with this inspection. You and
your staff should be commended for maintaining the water reclamation facility at top performance. If
you have any questions about this letter or the inspection, please contact me at 919.791.4261.

NPDES Permit NCO023906
Stormwater Permit NCG110081
Wilson County
On May 20, 2008, Mitch Hayes and Cheng Zhang of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted an
inspection of the subject facility. The assistance from Sandra Mooneyham, Joellen Gay, Tonya Grogan
and you with this inspection was appreciated. Below is a list of findings and recommendations developed
from the inspection.
1. A permit renewal for the Hominy Creek Water Reclamation Facility was received in this office in
December 2007. The permit is still under review in the Central Office. Please continue to operate
under the last issued permit until a new permit is issued.
2. The 14.0 MGD Wastewater Treatment Facility consists of the of the following units: influent
pump station; two automatic bar screens; screenings compactor; automatic grit removal; influent
ultrasonic flow meter; two pre -aeration basins; a biological phosphorus removal tank; three
primary clarifiers; seven aeration basins with seven anoxic zones and one reaeration zone; five
secondary clarifiers; methanol feed facilities; five deep bed denitrification filters with automatic or
manual backwashing; sodium hypochlorite disinfection tank; reaeration basin with sodium
bisulfite dechlorination; effluent ultrasonic flow meter; effluent pump station; one reuse water
basin; a reclaim water facility; one plastic lined reclaimed water pond; four anaerobic digesters
heated by natural gas or methane generated from digesters; a sludge thickening and dewatering
building with two gravity belt thickeners, two belt filter presses, waste activated sludge pump
station; a ten -ton per day alkaline sludge stabilization facility capable of producing Class A
dewatered sludge; three liquid sludge holding tanks; and a septage receiving station.
3. At the time of inspection, one (1) automatic bar screen, one (1) grit chamber, both pre -aeration
basins, two (2) primary clarifiers, one (1) aeration basin and two (2) anoxic zones, and were not
being used due to low inflow and underloading. The plant has been experiencing underloading for
the last four months. Spikes in BOD and ammonia have been noticed on Mondays and after

holidays. Presently, infusion of sugar water int6;�tfie T BNR Basins appears to be reducing the BOD
spikes. Methanol is being fed into the two (2) anoxic zones to further reduce ammonia. Installation
of a mechanical mixer at the end of the aeration -zone is planned later in the year to increase Total
Nitrogen uptake. Please note that the addition of the mechanical mixer may require an
Authorization to Construct (ATC) from the Construction Grants and Loans Section and a
modification to the permit. Please contact Mr. Daniel M. Blaisdell at 919.715,6211 for further
information. Effluent flowing off the primary clarifier was even with no obstruction. Diffusion of
air in the aeration basin appeared to be evenly distributed. Secondary clarifier weirs are covered to
prevent algae growth and could not be checked. Weirs are checked annually to ensure there is no
build-up of solids. All five (5) denitrification deep bed filters were in operation. Backwashing of
the five deep bed denitrification effluent filters is done on a 42-hour cycle for 45 minutes. Effluent
flowing into the reaeration zone below the dechlorination feed appeared clear with no odor, solids,
or foam. Rainwater was present in the basin that was formally used for sludge storage. Sludge
drying beds are used for drying out pump station wet well clean out pumpings and basin clean
outs. Some of the unused drying beds will be dismantled and removed. The digester methane
generation unit was operating as designed.
4. The sludge thickening and stabilization facility was producing Class B sludge at the time of
inspection. The facility is capable of producing Class A and Class B sludge. The facility has been
unable to produce Class A sludge for the last two weeks due to an error in the programmable logic
controller (PLC). Repair is expected to be completed later in May or early June 2008. There were
Class B solids stored under shelter. Dewatered and stabilized biosolids are land applied to
permitted privately owned farmland or transported to a privately owned composting facility.
Granville Farms operates the Land Application Program under permit WQ0001896. Any
supernatant from the sludge dewatering is conveyed back to the wastewater treatment head works.
5. Reclaimed water is distributed under permit WQ0018709. Reuse water is irrigated on Wedgewood
Golf Coarse and will be used in at the Firestone plant for cooling water. Reclaimed, reuse water
permits and other non -discharge permits are regulated by the Aquifer Protection Section (A -PS).
All correspondence pertaining to these permits should be directed to the APS.
6. The laboratory was checked in a cursory manner. All instrument calibration logs are being
maintained. An operator's logbook was available and being maintained. The influent and effluent
flow meters were last calibrated 05/01/2008 and are calibrated every 90 days by Pearson Controls
Services from Raleigh, NC. The BOD incubator temperature was 20.0 degrees C, the drying oven
was 107 degrees C, sample refrigerator was 4.5 degrees C, fridge #2 was 4 degrees C, and the fecal
fridge was 1.0 degree C.
7. The wastewater treatment plant staff, Tritest, Mircrobac (STR Division), and EnChem analyzes all
permit parameters.
8. Discharge Monitoring Reports for the period June 2007 to May 2008 were reviewed for
compliance with permit limits and monitoring requirements. Weekly and monthly permit limit for
ammonia nitrogen were exceeded in 09/2007. The violations occurred as a result of repairs being
made to the aeration blowers and were dismissed. Monthly permit limit for ammonia nitrogen was
exceeded November 2007. This occurred as a result of an unpermitted biodiesel facility
discharging wastes with high concentrations of BOD, COD, NH3-N, TKN, and FOG. The
discharge caused a plant upset. Monthly and weekly permit limit for ammonia nitrogen were
exceeded for December 2007. The plant experienced underloading during the weekends and
holidays and believed to have caused the permit limits for ammonia to be exceeded. Further
examination by plant staff found that another unpermitted biodiesel facility was discharging into
Wilson Hominy Creek WRF CEI
Page 3
the collection system and most likely have caused the spikes in ammonia. There were no other
violations for the review period.
9. Commercial lab results, chain of custody records, and bench sheets were compared with data
submitted on the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) for the month of February 2008. No
discrepancies were noted.
Stormwater Permit NCGI 10081
10. Permit NCG110081 was reissued and became effective on June 01, 2008 and expires on May 31,
2013. A review of the permit requirements was conducted after the CEI for NC0023906. A copy of
the permit was on hand.
11. The stormwater map for the facility was updatedl2/18/2006 and contains all permit requirements.
12. There are four stormwater discharge outfalls listed on the stormwater map. Outfall 4 drains to a
catch basin in front of the old head works pump station off site. This outfall has been reworked to
include more rip/rap with a small settling basin with diffuse flow. There was no discharge. Outfall
3 flows from the drainage area on the southeast side of the property to a creek off site. Water in the
creek appeared clear with no indication of sediment. Outfall 2 flows from the reuse water pump
station to a small pond. Water in the pond appeared tanic most likely due to the high organic
matter content in the soil. Outfall 1 flows to a storm drain by the old headworks pump station to a
settling basin (Raymond's Pond) off site. A locked gate valve controls discharge. Water at the gate
valve appeared clear. There were no stormwater discharges at the time of inspection.
13. Qualitative monitoring reports for Outfalls l; 2, 3, and 4 were available for 04/18/2008 and
09/10/2007. Documentation of employee training on clean-up procedures occurred on 04/2007.

Stormwater Permit �NCG110081
Wilson County
Mitch Hayes of the Raleigh Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation
Inspection on June 6, 2005. The cooperation and assistance of you and Aichester Hinnant with
this inspection was appreciated.. Please find the attached Basin Wide Information Management
System (BIMS) inspection checklist summarizing the inspection. Some items of concern are
listed below:
DMR's for the period June 2004 through June 2005 were reviewed for permit limits and
monitoring compliance. DWQ's computer system BIMS noted the following: there has been no
weekly monitoring for NO3 + NO2 for the months June, July, August, and September 2004.
Total Nitrogen and TKN are being monitored and therefore the value for NO3 + NO2 can be
extrapolated. Please send in amended DMR's for the period June through September 2004 to
included the NO3 + NO2 parameter. BIMS is also picking up frequency violations for all weekly
parameters when there are holidays. Please place the letter "H" for holiday in each parameter on
the DMR that is not monitored because of holidays. Monthly Permit limit violations for NH4-N
and weekly NH4 limit violation were noted for May 2005. These violations have already been
addressed.
Stormwater Permit NCG 110081 was issued and became effective on May 20, 2004 and will
expire on April 30, 2008. A review of the permit requirements was conducted after the CEI for
NC0023906. The stormwater permit was available for the inspection however; a Stormwater
Pollution Prevention Plan (SWPPP) has not been developed. Permit requirements state that a

SWPPP be developed within 12 months after permit issuance. Minimum requirements for the
SWPPP can be found in the permit in Part iI Section A, items 1 through 9. Qualitative
monitoring is required for each stormwater outfall twice a year, once in the spring (April through
June), and once in the fall (September through November). Analytical monitoring is required for
facilities that have any vehicle maintenance activity occurring on site which uses more than 55
gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year. Requirements for the
monitoring are specified in Table 2, Section C of the stormwater permit.
This report is being sent as Notice of Violation for Stormwater Permit NCG110081 for
failure to develop and implement a SWPPP within twelve (12) months of the effective permit
issuance date. Please notify this office by October 31, 2005 when a SWPPP is developed. If you
