Subject: Notice of deficiency and Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Case No.: NOD-2020-PC-0116
8020 Farrin<-ton Mills Rd
Single Family Wastewater Treatment System
Permit No. NCG551329
Durham County
On March 13, 2020, Cheng Zhang from the Raleigh Regional Office visited the single-family
residence (SFR) wastewater treatment system at 8020 Farrington dills Rd in Durham County to
evaluate compliance with the above permit to discharge wastewater. The checked boxes below
show what conditions were noted at your facility:
❑ In compliance: You are reminded to regularly maintain the chlorine disinfection and
dechlorination systems, have the effluent sampled once a year, and have the septic tank
pumped out every 3 to 5 years. Thank you for operating and maintaining your
wastewater treatment system in accordance with your permit.
❑ Your home is improperly plumbed: Some of the wastewater discharges are going
directly to the environment without first passing through the treatment system. This must
be corrected immediately. Please submit a schedule to this office within 20 days of
receil2t of this letter that states your plan for correcting this deficiency. The work is to be
completed within the next 3 months.
❑ Disinfection: Your system is lacking disinfection, either chlorine tablets or a UV light
system. New rules put into place on August 1, 2007 require all SFR systems to have a
means of disinfection (and dechlorination when chlorine tablets are used to disinfect, if
the system was installed since that date). Since your system had no disinfection, the
installation is to include a chlorine tablet dispenser, a contact chamber capable of
providing a minimum 30 minute contact time, and another tablet dispenser that will hold
dechlorination tablets. Please submit a schedule to this office within 20 calendar days of
receipt of this letter that states your plan for correcting this deficiency.

having chlorine tablets and dechlorination tablets (ifa required part of your system) in

❑ Dechlorination: Your system was installed after August 1, 2007, so must have a
means of dechlorination located downstream of the chlorinator and its contact chamber.

calendar days of receil2t of this letter stating your 121an for correcting* this deficiency.
❑ Pumping the septic tank: The septic tank should be pumped out every 3 to a years.
A pumping company can check the status periodically and determine when pumping is
required.

must be analyzed once each year. See Part I (A) of your permit about his requirement. A

change ownership of the permit. The single family residence was demolished sometime in 2019 (after

treatment system. if the system is no longer needed, it shall be demolished and the Certificate of
