SUBJECT: Notice of Deficiency
Compliance Inspection Report
Roy Heath Septic Tank Service
NCS-00810
Onslow County

Dear Mr. Heath Jr:

On March 27, 2018, Mr. John Farnell, representing the State of North Carolina, Division of Waste
Management Solid Waste Section, responded to a complaint from Mrs. Elisa Rataczak issued to
the Onslow County Health Department on March 21, 2018 and inspected the home address of
111 Marvin Ct. Richlands, NC 28574 for compliance with North Carolina solid waste statutes and
rules. The following violation(s) were noted:

A. 15A NCAC 13B .0835(a) states “No person shall establish, or allow to be established on
his land, a septage management facility to treat, manage, store, or dispose of septage,
or any component of septage, unless a permit has been obtained from the Division.”

During the repair of pump equipment for a septic tank system, waste was discharged onto property located at 111 Marvin Ct. Richlands, NC 28574, which is not a
permitted land application site.

The above violations may have or can compromise the facility’s ability to ensure protection of
the public health and the environment and thus require remedial action on behalf of the facility
in order to maintain compliance with 15A NCAC 13B .0835(a). In order to resolve these issues,
Roy Heath Septic Tank Service must take the following actions within the next 30 days:

1. Immediately ensure that wastewater is not pumped from any tank that handles
wastewater from a dwelling onto the yard
2. Removal of waste from the area where discharge occurred
3. Apply lime to areas where waste was discharged
