the firm name, town name, phone number, and septage management firm permit number as shown on the

septage management firm shall notify the Department within 10 days of placing a pumper truck in service that was not previously included in a permit issued to the firm and shall make the pumper truck available for
inspection by the Department. A septage management firm is not prohibited from use of a pumper truck that
meets the requirements of the rules adopted by the Commission prior to inspection by the Department.”

1) Inspected two pumper vehicles today. Both vehicles were not listed on the application submitted for the
2019 Septage Management Firm Permit. The vehicle information placed on the application should be the
vehicles that you have in operation to transport septage. The information needs to be accurate on the
application. The pumper vehicle with VIN # 3FDMF65Y63MB09352 had previously been inspected by
Michelle Sclafani on July 11, 2016. Pumper vehicle with VIN # 1HTSDAAN2SH688152 was not listed on
the 2019 application. Operating pump vehicle(s) of which the Division of Waste Management has not
been not been notified of is a violation of N.C.G.S. 130A-291.1 (h1) as stated above in “Observed
Violations.”

2) Along with notifying the Division within ten (10) days of placing a pumper vehicle on the road, the
pumper vehicle must be in compliance with Septage Management Rules .0835(a) and (b). The pumper
vehicle with VIN # 1HTSDAAN2SH688152 had been reported missing the required firm information as
stated within Rule .0835(b). I confirmed the use of an unlettered pumper vehicle with a phone call to
operator of the City of Roxboro WWTP. I called Kendrick’s Sanitation Service on 05/08/2019 and spoke to
Matthew. When I asked Matthew about operating an unlettered truck, he mentioned that one of their
pump trucks had been wrecked and they were using a rental truck pump truck. He said that the rental
pump truck had been in operation for around 6 months. As stated above in “Observed Violations,” Rule
.0835(b) requires each side of the pumper vehicle to be lettered with the firm name, town name, phone
number, and firm permit number. I told Matthew that the pumper vehicle had to be in compliance with
the Septage Management Rules and lettered with the Firm information. I also told Matthew that the

vehicle could not be used until lettered. On 05/09/2019, pictures showing the lettering on the truck was
emailed to me.

3) All required lettering was on both sides of both pumper vehicles. The lettering on pumper vehicle with
VIN # 3FDMF65Y63MB09352 was greater than three (3) inches in height. Outside of Kendrick, some of
the lettering was slightly less than three (3) inches in height for vehicle with VIN # 1HTSDAAN2SH688152.
Asked Matthew to redo the lettering by the end of next week and to send me pictures once completed.
4) The tanks on both pumper vehicles appeared to be structurally sound.
5) Both tanks affixed to the truck frame.
6) Caps present on the access ports. All access covers appeared to be properly closed and sealed.
7) A leak (drip) started at the back-access port valve for pumper vehicle with VIN # 1HTSDAAN2SH688152 at
the end of the inspection. I had Matthew place a bucket underneath the valve. The valve needs to be
repaired or replaced so that it does not leak.
8) I did not review the truck logs.
9) Talked to Matthew about the Firm name. The pumper vehicle with VIN # 3FDMF65Y63MB09352,
portable toilet pump truck, had “Kendrick’s Sanitation Service” on it as the firm name. Please make sure
that “Kendrick’s Sanitation Service” is the firm name on any pumper vehicle in the future and that it is the
name listed on the firm application for permit renewal.
