SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report
Certificate of Coverage NCG A , rider NPDES General Permit NCG550000
Facility Located at 908 Cedarbranch Trail, Forsyth County
Dear Mr. Bates:
On April 4, 2019 Paul DiMatteo of this office met with you to conduct a Compliance Evaluation Inspection on the
subject Wastewater treatment facility. Relevant findings are summarized in the enclosed inspection report. The inspector
discussed several permit requirements with you during the inspection. In summary, we would like to remind you of the
following requirements in the permit:
1. You are required to have the discharged water sampled and analyzed by a certified laboratory annually. A list of
nearby certified laboratories is attached. Records of monitoring should be maintained for at least 3 years. At any
time, the Division may request to review documentation required to be kept by the Permit to determine
compliance with its conditions.
2. Chlorine tablets used for disinfection must be labeled for use in wastewater (do riot use pool tablets). Chlorinators
should be checked and tablets added with such frequency and quantity that there is a constant, adequate supply
of chlorine for disinfection.
3. If any signs of malfunction are observed, the conditions should be documented,'and steps should be taken to
correct the problem.
Finally, please note that the General Permit was renewed effective October 23, 2018. A copy of the most recent
Technical Bulletin is enclosed. A copy of the General Permit was left with you during the inspection; additional copies are
available by searching on our website (https://deg,.nc.goy/about/divisions/water-resources) or by contacting the
inspector. You will be contacted by the Division through separate correspondence regarding the status of renewal foryour
Certificate of Coverage. Please review these documents carefully.

'On April 4, 2019 1 met with Mr. Bates to conduct a Compliance Evaluation Inspection. Mr. Bates
showed me the discharge pipe, chlorine contact' chamber and septic tank. There was a slight
discharge atthe effluent pipe. Chlorinator had chlorine tablets in them. Mr. Bates said he checks and
adds chlorine regularly. The'septic tank was last pumped in 3/2018.
We then discussed the�follovving:.:
- There have been -no recent issues and no' components were recently replaced.
-.Owner should verify that chlorine tablets used are indicated for wastewater treatment. There
appeared to be a bucket of pool_ tablets on their patio.
- Annual ;sampling is not, conducted: I reviewed the requirements with the owner and provided a copy of
the permit marking the requirement. I will also send a list of labs in the region that might be able to
