Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Single Family Wastewater Treatment System
General NPDES Permit NCG550000
Certificate of coverage NCG550950
Facility: 6510 Whitt Road, Durham
Durham County
Dear Mr. White,
On September 26, 2023, Curtis Tyree from the Raleigh Regional Office visited your single-
family residence (SFR) wastewater treatment system to evaluate compliance with the subject
General NPDES Permit.
Our records indicate the treatment system consists of a septic tank; a below ground primary sand
filter; a Chlorine contact chamber; a chlorinator; and an effluent discharge pipe.
General NPDES Permit NCG550000 and Certificate of Coverage (COC) NCG550950 authorizes
the discharge of domestic wastewater from your treatment system to an unnamed tributary of the
Little River to Falls Lake.
Findings during the inspection were as follows:
1. The septic tank shall be checked annually and pumped out every 3 to S years. Scotty's
Septic Service pumped the septic tank out in May 2021.
2. Treatment system operation. The treatment system shall be maintained at all times to
prevent seepage of sewage to the surface of the ground. Mr. White inspects his system on a
regular basis.
3. Chlorination. The tablet chlorinator shall be inspected weekly to ensure there is an
adequate supply of tablets for continuous and proper operation. Wastewater grade tablets
(calcium hypochlorite) shall be added as needed to provide proper chlorination
(swimming pool chlorine tablets shall not be used). At the time of the inspection, the
chlorinator had a sufficient amount and type of tablets and Mr. White inspects the tubes
often.

4. Outfall location. A visual review of the outfall location shall be executed twice each year
(one at the time of sampling) to ensure that no visible solids or other obvious evidence of
system malfunctioning is observed Any visible signs of a malfunctioning system shall be
documented, and steps taken to correct the problem. At the time of the inspection, the
outfall location was clear and appeared to be well maintained and free of any obstructions.
There was no water discharging at the time of the inspection.
5. Effluent sampling requirements. Effluent sampling must be conducted annually as part
of your permit requirements. The effluent samples must be analyzed by a North Caroline
Certified Lab and the results must be kept on site for three years. Mr. White has not been
able to collect a sample yet this year due to no flow to the outfall but will collect one as
soon as he detects a flow.
6. Fees and renewals. COC's with unpaid administering and compliance monitoring fees
will not be automatically renewer. The fees must be paid annually and within 30 days of
notification. All fees have been paid.
If you have questions or comments about this inspection or the requirements of your permit,
please contact Curtis Tyree via email at curtis.tyree�--deg nc.p-ov or 919-791-4251.
