Subject: Permit No. WQ0019964
4701 Norbury Pl. SFR
Wastewater Irrigation System
Wake County
On February 7, 2020, Joan Schneier and Chris Smith of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR),
Water Quality Regional Operations Section, and Chloe Lloyd and Vivien Zhong of the DWR Non
Discharge Permitting Branch did a compliance inspection on the above wastewater treatment
system, in support of permit renewal. We would like to thank Jonathan Handley and Chad Allen from
AQWA, Inc., who assisted during the inspection and performed routine maintenance. On the date
inspected, the system was non -compliant, only due to the fence.
Sludge levels were moderate at 13 inches or less in all tanks, with no scum (normally caused by
grease). All filters were cleaned during the inspection. The UV bulb and both the recirc and dosing
tank high water alarms worked. Flows to the field were reasonably consistent across all zones. A
few minor leaks were fixed in the drip lines. The fence around the drip Feld (which is a homeowner
responsibility) was down in numerous places.
Please have the fence fixed within 60 days and notify this office at [phone] when that is done.
A minimum of two strands of wire are required, entirely encircling the field. Also, please see the
attached inspection check list. If you have any questions concerning this inspection, please contact
Joan Schneier at [phone] or joan.schneierPncdenr.gov by Friday, February 28 (due to
retirement). Thank you.
Sincerely,
e.
