Dear Mr. Bagwell:
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection(CEI) for the inspection conducted at the
subject facility on January 28, 2010,by Ms. Barbara Sifford with this Office, and again on February 3, 2010
with the assistance of Mr. Duane Crawley of the Lincoln County Health Department. Thank you for your
assistance and cooperation during these inspections.
Your immediate correction of eliminating the direct discharge of the washing machine and placing that
discharge into the septic tank line leaving the residence was appreciated. The septic tank was located by the
county but we were unable to locate the chlorinator box or the discharge line to the stream. Water was observed
leaching from the stream bank in the location of the line but it was not located. Repairs to the system to restore
the lines and disinfect the discharge need to be made as soon as possible weather permitting.
Analytical data for compliance monitoring for the treatment system has not been evaluated since there is
no discharge from the system. The tank has not been pumped at the frequency required by the peuuit. A
description of the system is included with this letter as to the system components that were originally installed.
The septic tank should be pumped at least every 5 years to keep from overloading the sand filter bed. After the
system has been repaired then samples need to be collected for compliance.
The chlorine tablet dispenser and chlorine tablets can be.purchased from USA Blue Book on line or
McCall Brothers plumbing supply in Charlotte. A sample port needs to be made to collect a sample after
contact time with the chlorine prior to the discharge.

Section D. Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
A follow up visit was made with Lincoln County Health Department staff Duane Crawley to determine the
type of system that was installed at the residence. After this investigation it is undetermined where the
actual sand filter trench is located and where the discharge pipe is located at. The description of the
proposed treatment works is included with this inspection for your records. The current owner needs to
locate or reinstall the missing chlorination chamber and discharge pipe. A sketch from the Health Dept
office in the original owner name may be helpful in locating the original installation.
