2. The tank next to the road was observed to be almost completely full (see photo below). The longer septage is stored in a tank the more difficult it will be to remove. In addition, it would be a violation of North Carolina Septage rules if any of the septage material spills out of the top.
Top of Tank next to road 3. It appears that set-back/buffer requirements have been met. 4. Appropriate signage was in place at the entrance to the access road. 5.
