Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
9/4/2019 PMD I met Mr. Beck at the site. Observed the outlet. Creek looks clear. Mr. Beck said there's
rarely any discharge. Chlorination status unknown - previous inspections have noted that chlorination is
inoperable, and that a repair was required some 10+ years ago under the previous owner but never
completed. I discussed septic tank pumping and monitoring requirements, and left a copy of the
current permit and technical bulletin.
