septage onto the ground surface or exterior surface of the detention system, including septage in pipes
used for transferring waste to and from vehicles.” Any septage on the plastic tank or on the ground shall
be cleaned up. Also in the future, the transfer of septage to and from the facility needs to be done in
such a way to prevent the leaks or spills of septage onto the ground or onto the tanks.

The item(s) listed above were observed by Section staff and require action on behalf of the facility in order to come into or maintain compliance
with the Statutes, Rules, and/or other regulatory requirements applicable to this facility. Be advised that pursuant to N.C.G.S. 130A-22, an administrative penalty of up to $15,000 per day may be assessed for each violation of the Solid Waste Laws, Regulations, Conditions of a Permit,

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

1) Access road to the tanks is well maintained and meets the requirements of Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0838(b).
2) “No Trespassing” signage at gate entrance to facility and meets the requirements of Rule 15A NCAC 13B
.0838(k).
3) The two (2) above ground poly tanks were accessible for inspection and free of debris and vegetation as
per 15A NCAC 13B .0838(i).
4) The two poly tanks appeared to be ok. No leaks noticed. The 3,500 gallons concrete tank is a below
ground tank.
5) Septage spills and debris noticed on the ground in several locations and on the 7,000-gallon plastic tank
which a violation of Rule 15A NCAC 13B .0838(j). See pictures below. Septage was noticed on the
ground by the bottom valve and on the side wall of the 7,000-gallon plastic tank. No plug was noticed
for the hose connection port at the valve. Septage debris was noticed on the ground around the buried
3,500-gallon concrete tank. I talked to an onsite representative and he mentioned that they have been
having problem with some toilet paper clumping together and causing problems. He said that they had
gotten rid of that toilet paper. When dealing with septage debris such as toilet paper, be sure to have
the means to collect and contain the debris so that it does not get deposited on the ground. When the
debris is disposed of, be sure that there is no free liquid present.
6) No odor or vectors issues noticed.
7) No change noticed that would affect setback distances.
8) There was a metal ramp going from the gravel area around the buried concrete tank to the 1,500-gallon
plastic tank. See picture below. The metal ramp can be a safety issue with no means to prevent
someone from falling off it.
