Single -Family NPDES Wastewater Treatment System

Dear Mr. Rakes:
On December 31, 2019, staff of the North Carolina Division of Water Resources' Winston-Salem
Regional Office (DWR) performed a compliance inspection of the single-family NPDES
wastewater treatment system located at the subject property. This compliance inspection was
conducted by DWR staff person Mr. Justin Henderson. Inspection of the wastewater treatment
system reflects non-compliance with Permit No. NCG550506. The following deficiencies require
your attention and action:
1) The Certificate of Coverage NCG550506, for the subject wastewater treatment system is
expired, therefore in accordance with Permit Condition Part II. Section B. (10.) the
permittee is not authorized to discharge after expiration. While the residence appeared to
be vacant currently, the wastewater treatment system should remain inactive, without a
discharge to surface waters of the State, until the Certificate of Coverage is renewed.
2) Failure to remit payment for the Annual Administering and Compliance Monitoring Fee,
authorized by Permit Condition Part II. Section B. (14.), for the following years: 2012,
2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019.
In addition to the above listed deficiencies, the following items of concern also require your
attention:
