NCG551075 I11 121 19/10/23 117 18 ICI Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) The Inspector, Linda Wiggs, met with Scott Jones, Fire Chief (Permittee) and other Fire Fighter staff on 10/23/2019 to inspect the system. Staff had uncovered the septic tank for the inspection and for the septic hauler which is scheduled to pump the tank on 10/25/2019. Receipt of this pumping was received by inspector. Observed in the septic tank were an abundance of wipes; wipes are not to be flushed. Risers for the septic tank had been purchased and were onsite for installation. Checking the solids level annually is a permit requirement; it may be that this septic tank will need to be pumped more frequently than every 5 years. A chlorine tablet tube was broken at the bottom; a new tube needs to be purchased. This broken tube likely caused a slight build up in the tablet dispenser channel; a new tube will prevent build up. The effluent spillway was cleared of weeds and soil build up during the inspection; the spillway needs to be kept clear of weeds and soil buildup. Keeping this free flowing will also prevent back up of water in the chlorine and dichlorination units. Effluent data was received for 2018, the results were: Fecal Coliform - <10 col/100ml BOD — 2.35 mg/I TSS — 7.70 mg/I TRC - <20 Flow Est. 0.0001 Sampling for 2019 is to take place before the end of the year when a discharge occurs.
