On February 18, 2020, staff of the NC Di%-ision of Watcr Resources, conducted a compliance inspection
for the subject single-family irrigation system. Your assistance during the inspection was appreciated.
Attached is a copy of the inspection report. 71-he septic tank has not been pumped, but was "sludge judged"
recently and determined not to need pumping. The sand filters appear to be functioning. There is a leak at
the pump tank and is scheduled to be lined when the ground is drier. The chlorinator had the correct tablets
and were contacting the wastewater. 'rlie pumps were functioning, and the irrigation area appeared to be
free ofponding and runoff. The rencing around the irrigation area was «yell maintained.
If you have any questions regarding the system or (lie inspection, please feel free to contact nie via email at
gary.kreiser�,ncdenr.gov or at [phone].
Sincerely,
Gary K ciser
Soil Scientist
