Dear Mr. Hill:
On July 21, 2016, Stephanie Goss and Ted Cashion from the Raleigh Regional Office visited the subject
location to evaluate compliance with the above permit to discharge wastewater.
Our records indicate that the system consists of a septic tank and dual series surface sand filters with the
discharge of treated wastewater into an unnamed tributary to Hodges Mill Creek in the.Neuse River
Basin. The inspection showed the following conditions:
® Pumping the septic tank. It is recommended that the septic tank should be pumped out at
intervals of 3 to 5 years. Pumping the tank regularly will assist in maintaining the effective
operation of your system.
® Chlorine tablets in the chlorinator. There were no chlorine tablets in the chlorinator. This
is in violation of your permit. You are reminded that it is required that chlorine tablets be
maintained in the chlorinator to ensure proper disinfection of the discharged wastewater.
Chlorine tablets provide effective disinfection and prevent/limit harmful bacteria from
discharging to the environment. The product label for these tablets must indicate the tablets
are approved for wastewater use, and not for swimming pools. Please ensure the correct types
of tablets are used. Please respond in writing by October 1,2016 verifying that the correct type
of chlorine tablets are continuously stocked in the chlorinator.
Failure to analyze the effluent from your system once each year. The effluent from your
system is required to be sampled and analyzed annually. Parameters to be sampled and analyzed
include flow, BOD, total suspended solids, fecal coliform, and total residual chlorine. Please
collect the required samples from the end of the discharge pipe and submit a copy of the
laboratory report to this office by October 1, 2016.
Fl Discharge outlet location. The discharge pipe was visible and accessible. Please continue
