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. ❑ 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. ❑ 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 receir)t_o_ f this letter that states your plan for correcting this deficiency. ® 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.
