Overall the facility appeared to be operating well and maintained adequately. The permit lists a comminutor in the components list. This is incorrect and should be replaced with "manual bar screen" in the permit. There is no dechlorinator. The ORC drops dechlorination tablets into a post chlorination wet well/manhole to dechlorinate the effluent. This appears to be effective, however some sort of tablet feeding tube/device would be preferred. NC0033685 17 (Cont.)

Number of tubes in use? There is not a dechlorinator. There is a manhole that the ORC drops dechlorination tablets into. This is an unusual way to dechlorinate effluent, but it appeared that it could be effective. Some sort of tablet dispenser would be preferred to the current set up. Comment: Effluent Pipe Yes No NA NE Is right of way to the outfall properly maintained? Are the receiving water free of foam other than trace amounts and other debris? If effluent (diffuser pipes are required) are they operating properly? Comment: Page#5 DocuSign Envelope ID: 65012A70-0B1C-4784-815D-DFC48DFD0649
