Gates SFR
Single Family Residence System
Durham County
Dear Mr. Gates,
On May 29, 2013, staff Qf the NC Division of Water Quality(DWQ), Aquifer Protection Section (APS), visited
subject Single Family Residence Surface Irrigation System (SFR). We wish to thank you for being present and
assisting during the site visit. The purpose of the visit was to discuss the potential closure of the subject SFR
System.
On the day of the site visit Division staff discussed the requirements for closing out the system as well as the
benefits of maintaining of the permit. Based on discussions it was determined that the on-site trailer was to be
removed and that power was being shut off to the property. These actions would eliminate any tributary flow to
the system and make maintaining the system difficult. Division staff indicated that the system could be placed
into a state of temporary abandonment which would reduce the maintenance requirements stipulated by the
Division. It is recommended that the irrigation pump be removed and placed in storage. Long term storage in the
pump tank could cause the pump to "lock-up," thereby requiring a new pump when the system does return to an
active status.
As discussed in the field, you are required to submit the required renewal documents. When the Division renews
the permit, a permit condition reiterating the off-line status of the system will be included. Please also refer to the
attached inspection report.
If you have any questions please feel free to contact me via email at [e-mail] or at (919)
791-4233.
Sincerely, .
i
