1. On Monday, June 1, 2020, an anonymous complaint was relayed from De Aja, Field Operations Branch Supervisor, Solid Waste Section concerning septage being brought onto the property, stored and possible
leakage into the groundwater. 2. On Tuesday, June 2, 2020, Mr. Troy Harrison (the writer) went to the site to conduct an investigation. Two tanks were observed but it appeared they have not been used in some time. Vegetation was observed growing on both tanks. The area had garbage and debris, however; no septage was observed on the ground or noticeable odors. The two existing tanks were observed during previous complaint in 2016. A Notice of Violations was issued and the tanks emptied. An additional tank was removed. 3. No violation was observed, however; the tanks cannot be used to store septage without a permit issued by the Solid Waste Section.
