The results are as follows: t Table 1— Effluent Analysis Results Outfall Date Flow, Gals/ Day hest) BODS, mg/L TSS, mg/L pH, Std.

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. NCDEQ November 3, 2023 Page 2 SwSG 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, STO 7ER S SEERV `ICES GROUP, LLC 7 - es D.
