Dear Mr. and Mrs. York,
On May 8, 2019 Kelli Park and Paul DiMatteo, of this office, performed a Compliance Evaluation
Inspection of the wastewater treatment system located at the above address. The State requires
the Division of Water Resources to inspect these types of systems at least once every five years.
We attempted to contact you via phone voicemail messages, letters left at the house, and a
certified letter in the mail sent on April 10. There was no response to any attempt of getting in
contact with you. Please note that in your permit conditions (Part II, Section B.8 and Part II
Section D.8) you are required to provide information to the Division regarding your
permitted system upon request and allow inspection of the subject property.
The violations found from the inspection outlined below:
1) The chlorine tubes were unable to be located, and it is unknown what type of chlorine is
put into the system. It is imperative that the tubes are checked routinely and that chlorine
tablets are added as needed to disinfect the wastewater. Via the permit wastewater
grade chlorine must be added to the system for disinfection.
2) The effluent pipe was not visible. It is a permit requirement to know the location of the
pipe and to maintain the area around it at all times. Please locate and expose the
effluent pipe as soon as possible.
3) It is unknown if the effluent has been consistently tested by a laboratory. 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.
4) The permit requires that the septic tank contents be pumped out every 3-5 years to
prevent solids from clogging the sand filter system. It is unknown when the system was

last pumped. Please keep records of septic tank pumping on hand as a historical record
and proof that you had the tank pumped.
Failure to properly operate and maintain the system can result in expensive repair costs as well
as failure of the system to properly treat the wastewater. If you have any questions regarding
maintenance, operations, the permit, or this inspection do not hesitate to call us.
Please keep this letter with your records for the system along with copies of invoices from the
Division for the annual permit fee, the Certificate of Coverage, records of septic tank pumping,
maintenance 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.
Please contact Miss Park at (336)-776-9689 or [e-mail] to report the unknown
information reqardinq your system and if you have any further questions.
Sincerely,
