Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) Dear Mr. Wilkinson, On July 25th, 2024, Ron Boone and Michael Gearren, of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Resources, conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of the discharging wastewater treatment system at the Wilkinson Mobile Home Haven, which you own. This system is permitted to discharge treated wastewater under NC General Wastewater Discharge Permit NCG550000, certificate of coverage NCG551437. All the annual fees of $60 have been paid and the permit is in good standing. You informed Mr. Boone that you have the septic tank's solids level checked regularly and that you haven't had to have it pumped for a few years now, although you could not provide a record of the last time it was pumped. You showed Mr. Boone the location of the subsurface sand filter, the chlorinator, and the discharge pipe. You are using the proper chlorine and Mr. Boone noted no concerns with the filter, the chlorinator, or the outfall. You informed Mr. Boone that you have not had the effluent tested by a NC certified laboratory. Please remember that the permit requires annual testing of the system's effluent by a NC certified laboratory as specified in the permit. We have attached a list of NC certified laboratories where you may take samples to have the required analysis conducted. Please have the effluent tested as soon as possible and then once every year thereafter. We have also attached a copy of the general permit. Please read Part I in its entirety as this part contains the most important requirements regarding operation and maintenance of the system and analytical testing. Part II is also important but contains many of the general requirements, such as Duty to Comply. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the inspection or this report, please contact Mr. Boone by phone at 336.776.9690, or by email at ron.boone@deq.nc.gov.
