Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) On September 15, 2023, Division of Water Resources staff Gary Hudson conducted a routine compliance inspection at the Forest Ridge WWTP. Sam Pegram was present during the inspection. A review of the October 2022, and April 2023 eDMR were compared to laboratory bench sheets. No discrepancies were noted. During the inspection, one violation was noted, as well as an area of concern. Violation: The flow meter was last calibrated on July 21, 2019. The flow meter was calibrated on October 3, 2023. Area of Concern: The wastewater treatment plant consists of two identical package plants sitting side by side, in parallel operation. About 8 months prior to the date of the inspection, the #2 plant floated out of the ground and had to be taken offline. However, the #1 plant appeared to be handling the flow from the subdivision. The following treatment components and documents were inspected: Permit: The permit became effective on January 1, 2019, and expires on December 31, 2023. A permit renewal application was received on June 15,2023. Preliminary Treatment: Preliminary treatment consists of a bar screen. Primary Treatment: This facility does not have primary treatment. Secondary Treatment: Secondary treatment consists of an activated sludge basin (ASB), and a secondary clarifier. Both units were operating properly during the inspection. Final Effluent: A tablet chlorinator with 3 tablet tubes is used for disinfection, and a tablet de -chlorinator with 3 tablet tubes is used for de -chlorination. Sludge Digestion: Sludge digestion consists of one aerobic digester. Except for the flow meter not being calibrated, the inspection of the facility was satisfactory. If you have any questions regarding the inspection or this report, please contact Gary Hudson or me at (336) 776-9800 or by email at gary.hudson@deq.nc.gov or lon.snider@deq.nc.gov.
