V. ADDITIONAL REGIONAL STAFF REVIEW ITEMS

An inspection was performed on 9/3/20 as part of the permit renewal process. Ms. Crider as well as her ex-
husband (Gary) meet on site. Ms. Crider owns the house and rents it to members of her family. The
residence consists of a house (2 bedroom) and a small outbuilding that has a bedroom in it. On the day of
inspection, the system was well maintained. The septic tank had been pumped a week or two before the
inspection. The vegetation over the sand filter was mowed and maintained. There was no evidence of sand
filter failure. Tablets were in place in the chlorinator and were contacting water. The pump was working and
the alarm was tested. Note, that the alarm is in the house. The irrigation area consisted of 3 spray heads in a
mowed grassed area. There was a two strand fence around the irrigation area. On the day of inspection, the
system was compliant.
