Subject: Notice of Violation
NOV-2018-PC-0484
Failure to Properly Operate and Maintain a Waste Treatment System
Residence at 5504 Wendell Road, Durham, NC 27712
Certificate of Coverage NCG551045
Durham County
Dear Mr. Snyder:
On December 3, 2018, Ray Milosh from the Raleigh Regional Office visited your single-family
residence (SFR) wastewater treatment system to evaluate compliance with the above peitnit to
discharge wastewater. The checked boxes below show what conditions were noted at your
facility:
❑ In compliance: You are reminded to regularly maintain the chlorine disinfection and
dechlorination systems, have the effluent sampled once a year, and have the septic tank
pumped out every 3 to 5 years. Your good record of operation and meeting the permit
requirements is highly commended.
n Your home is improperly plumbed: Some of the wastewater discharges are going
directly to the environment without first passing through the treatment system. This must
be corrected immediately. Please submit a schedule to this office within 20 days of
receipt of this letter that states your plan for correcting this deficiency. The work is to be
completed within the next 3 months.

n Disinfection: Your system is lacking disinfection, either chlorine tablets or a UV light
system. New rules put into place on August 1, 2007 require all SFR systems to have a
means of disinfection(and dechlorination when chlorine tablets are used to disinfect, if
the system was installed since that date). Since your system had no disinfection, the
installation is to include a chlorine tablet dispenser, a contact chamber capable of
providing a minimum 30 minute contact time, and another tablet dispenser that will hold
dechlorination tablets. Please submit a schedule to this office within 20 calendar days of
receipt of this letter that states your plan for correcting this deficiency.
E Treatment tablets missing or are wrong kind: You are responsible for always
having chlorine tablets and dechlorination tablets (if a required part of your system) in
place. They must be the kind for wastewater treatment and not for swimming pools.
Send proof that you have purchased and installed chlorine tablets within 30 days of
receipt of this letter.
❑ Dechlorination: Your system was installed after August 1, 2007, so must have a
means of dechlorination located downstream of the chlorinator and its contact chamber.
See Disinfection paragraph above. Please submit a schedule to this office within 20
calendar days of receipt of this letter stating your plan for correcting this deficiency.
n Pumping the septic tank: The septic tank should be pumped out every 3 to 5 years.
A pumping company can check the status periodically and determine when pumping is
required.
® Failure to analyze the effluent: The effluent that is discharged from your system
must be analyzed once each year. See Part I (A) of your permit about his requirement. A
list of NC certified laboratories that provide this service was left at your residence during
the inspection. Make arrangements for sampling to be carried out within the next 3
months, and submit results to this office within 3 weeks after the sampling has been done.
❑ Locations of treatment units are unknown: Determine this and report to this office
within 30 days of receipt of this letter with a sketch or map.
M Other:
• The pump in the pump tank couldn't be turned on during the November 2016
inspection or the December 2018 inspection. Send proof in writing within 30
days of receipt of this letter that the pump has been repaired.
• Fill in the attached ownership change form and mail it to the address shown
at the bottom within 30 days of receipt of this letter.

action, contact the inspector or me at 919-791-4200. Licensed plumbers should be used to make
