The State requires the Division of Water Resources to inspect these types of systems at least once every five years. The violations found from the inspection and phone conversations with Mr. Myers are outlined below: 1) The permit requires that the septic tank contents be pumped out every 3-5 years to prevent solids from clogging the sand filter system. The system was last pumped in 2013. Please get it pumped as soon as possible. 2) The chlorine being added to the system is pool grade. Via the permit wastewater grade chlorine must be added to the system for sanitation purposes and to prevent damage to the wastewater system. Information has been shared with you via email about the appropriate tablets to use. Please switch chlorine tablets as soon as possible. 3) The effluent water has not been consistently tested by a laboratory since you have not seen flow out of the pipe. Water samples from the effluent are required to be analyzed at least once a year by a certified laboratory. These records are required to be maintained and should be shared with NCDEQ upon request. A copy of the permit monitoring requirements -and the certified laboratories to do the analysis are attached to this letter for reference of what should be monitored if you ever notice any discharge coming out of the pipe during the year. ailure to properly operate and maintain the system can result in expensive repair costs as well s failure of the system to properly treat the wastewater. If you have any questions regarding kintenance, operations, the permit, or this inspection do not hesitate to call us. se keep this letter with your records for the system along with copies of invoices from the ion for the annual permit fee, the Certificate of Coverage, records of septic tank pumping, tenance and repair records, etc. Please be aware that violations of your NPDES permit, or the NC statutes and regulations under which it is promulgated, are subject to fines of up to $25,000 per day, per violation, as set forth in NC General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.6A, Enforcement Procedures, Civil Penalties.
