In response to Permit requirements, we collected a discharge sample from the sand filter and have analyzed it for the parameters
indicated in the General Permit. The results are as follows: t

' Receiving stream chlorine levels are not to exceed 17 µg/L. Sample is taken at end of effluent pipe. Flow from effluent pipe is not connected to surface waters
of the State; flow disperses into a vegetated buffer and infiltrates into the ground.

Today's flow rate is estimated based on two (2) adults living at the residence using 50 gals/ day/ person. This flow rate is probably
over -estimated as there is at most a low trickle flow2 from this system unless we surcharge the sand filter by running the cold water
faucet at the bathtub for at least 45 minutes.
Note that there is no direct discharge from this system into
"waters of the State. " Flow from this system is dispersed
onto a grassy slope then into a narrow wooded buffer along
an agricultural field.
The neat effluent sample will be collected and analyzed in
Yd Quarter 2023. In the meantime, if you have any
questions, do not hesitate to call me.
Sincerely,
