Director Alex Miranda 5220 Lynch Store Road Mebane, NC 27302 NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality July 18, 2024 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Single Family Wastewater Treatment System General NPDES Permit NCG550000 Certificate of coverage NCG551595 Facility: 5220 Lynch Store Road Orange County Dear Mr. Miranda On June 18, 2024, 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 recirculation tank; an Advantex Treatment System; UV disinfection; and an Effluent discharge pipe. General NPDES Permit NCG550000 and Certificate of Coverage (COC) NCG551595 authorize the discharge of domestic wastewater from your treatment system to an unnamed tributary to Black Creek in the Cape Fear River Basin. Findings during the inspection were as follows: 1. The septic tank shall be checked annually and pumped out every 3 to 5 years. McFarland Septic Service inspected the system in December of 2023 and determined that the septic tank did not need to be pumped out at this time. 2. Treatment system operation. The treatment system shall be maintained at all times to prevent seepage of sewage to the surface of the ground At the time of the inspection, the system appeared to be well maintained. 3. 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 discharged at the time of the inspection.

Ultraviolet disinfection. At the time of inspection, the system was operating as designed and appeared to be well maintained. McFarland Septic Service inspected and serviced the system in December 2023. 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. The permittee hasn't been able to get a sample so far this year, but will look harder for a chance to collect a sample for testing. 6. Part H Section B.14 of General Permit NCG550000 requires the permittee to "pay the annual administering and compliance monitoringfee within thirty days after being billed by the Division." 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.1yree0,deq.nc.gov or 919-791-4251.
