Dear Mr. McRae,
NORTH CAROLINA
Environmental Quality
October 28, 2019
On March 19, 2019, Joan Schneier of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR), Water Quality Regional
Operations Section, inspected the subject wastewater treatment and disposal system in support of permit
renewal. We wish to thank tenant Jamie Perkins for assisting during the inspection. Most of the system
was well maintained and operating correctly. However, the system was non -compliant due to one spray
head, which was off the riser and laying on the ground. The valve had been turned off to that riser, so no
effluent was leaking.
The following conditions were noted. The septic tank had just been pumped out a few weeks
previously, in conjunction with a pump replacement. The above ground sand filter had a nicely built
low roof and door frame, allowing access. The high- water alarms worked in both tanks from both
the floats and test switches. The correct chlorine tablets were in use. Five of six spray heads had
good pressure and rotation and the field was enclosed by a good barbed wire fence. Also, please refer
to the attached inspection report.
If you have not done so already, please repair or replace the problematic spray head and notify
this office within 30 days.
We also recommend that you replace several concrete lids, which are cracked in one corner. This
should decrease rain water leakage, which could result in extra run time on the pumps. Tile
chlorinator lid is very heavy for an item which must be checked monthly, and should be replaced with
something lighter.
If you have any questions concerning this the inspection, please contact Joan Schneier at (919) 791-
4234 or [e-mail].
