Dear Mrs.Cherry:
Jenny Graznak of the Winston-Salem Regional Office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection
on the wastewater treatment system at your rental property in Forsyth County,North Carolina on July 7, 2009.
This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: a review of self-monitoring data, and an on-site inspection
of the facility and its discharge. No one was home during the inspection.
You hold a General Permit to discharge Domestic Wastewaters from Single Family Residences under
the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The system discharges to the Haw River in
the Cape Fear River Basin. However, Ms. Graznak was unable to find the discharge pipe during the
inspection, most likely due to the heavy vegetation around the stream. If you notice any discharge from the
pipe,please perform the effluent monitoring as listed in the permit. Permit text Part I Section A (attached to
this correspondence) specifies the limits and monitoring requirements for your permit. The following
parameters must be monitored on an annual basis: Flow, Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total
Suspended Residue, Fecal Coliform, and Total Residual Chlorine. A Laboratory with North Carolina
Wastewater Certification(a list of approved laboratories is attached)must perform this monitoring. You must
also conduct and document the following maintenance activities:
• Septic tanks shall be maintained at all times to prevent seepage of sewage
• Septic tanks will be checked at least yearly to determine if solids must be removed
• Septic tanks shall be pumped out within 3-5 years of issuance date of the Permit. Contents removed
from septic tanks shall be disposed of at a location and in a manner compliant with all local and state
regulations
Your permit expired on July 31, 2007 and has not been renewed. A Renewal Notice was sent to your
home on January 9, 2007. A copy of this Notice is attached to this letter. You stated on the telephone that
your septic tank was last pumped out in the spring of 2008. There is no chlorinator unit attached to this
system. If you have any questions,please contact Ms.Graznak or me at(336)771-5000.
Sincerely,
teve W.Tedder
