Dear Mr. Raby:

On September 23, 2016, I, Troy Harrison, representing the State of North Carolina, Division of Waste
Management Solid Waste Section (Section), inspected the above referenced facility for compliance with
North Carolina solid waste statutes and rules. You were present and represented Mountain Septic Service
during this inspection. The following violations were noted:

A. 15A NCAC 13B .0836(a)

No person shall establish on his land, or allow to be established on his land, a septage
detention facility; unless a permit for the facility has been obtained from the Division or the
facility is operating in accordance with a NPDES permit issued by the NC Division of Water
Quality.

You were in violation of 15A NCAC 13B .0836(a) in that on September 23, 2016, it was observed that a
solid waste management facility was allowed to be established on your property for the storage of
septage. The facility consisted of four 250 gallon plastic Intermediate Bulk Containers (IBC) totes at 482
John Teague Road, Franklin, NC. One IBC tote was full and the other were empty but contained residual
septage material.

Based upon the foregoing, Mountain Septic Service shall come into compliance by October 8, 2016 with
all requirements of the regulations in 15A NCAC 13B .0836(a) by completing the following:

1. Immediately discontinue the use of the four IBC totes being used as SDTF tanks.

2. Immediately remove the contents of the IBC totes for disposal at the Franklin WWTP and save
the receipts generated by the disposal.
