ADDITIONAL COMMENTS

1. An appropriate No Trespassing sign was displayed at the entrance to the site.
2. The tanks were accessible for inspection. The area around the tanks is required to be free of debris
and vegetation to allow for access and inspection for a distance of 5 feet. Parts of some of the
fiberglass coated tanks were falling off preventing a full inspection of these tanks. Old hoses and
vegetation impeded inspection in other areas. The required 5-foot setback must be restored and
maintained.
3. The visible portions of the tanks appeared structurally sound.
4. All septage transferals were not being made in a safe and sanitary manner. At the northern end of
the facility spilled septage was observed on the exterior of the tanks and in the roadway between the
tanks in an area where trucks were loading and unloading septage. Septage was also observed
spilled down the embankment by these tanks in an area where hoses where laying on the ground.
On the western side of the facility grease septage was observed spilled onto the ground surface and
onto the exterior of the detention system where a tank was overfilled. Spilled septage on the
ground and exterior of tanks must be cleaned up and disposed of in accordance with NC septage
rules.
5. Objectional odors were noticeable in the area of the facility. No Vectors were noticed in the area of
the facility.
6. Approved setbacks appear to be met.
7. The access road was passable.
