Wake County Wildlife Club
Wastewater Irrigation System
Durham County
Dear Mr. Wagoner,
On March 9, 2020, staff of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR) inspected the subject Wastewater
Irrigation System in Durham County. We wish to thank Guido Carrera, the ORC, for his help during the
inspection.
On the day of the inspection, the ORC stated that the septic tank was Iast pumped in October 2018. There
is a riser over the second chamber of the septic tank but not the first. The second chamber was opened.
The filter was found to be in good condition. It was cleaned during the inspection. A sludge judge used to
determine that there is 8 to 12" of solids in the second chamber of the septic tank. It is unknown how much
solids are in the first chamber. It is time to have both chambers of the septic tank pumped.
There are no signs of surfacing water at the sand filter.
There were chlorine tablets in the chlorinator.
The sprayfield pump tank appeared to be in good condition. The timer operated pump was operated and
all sprayheads were in good working order. There was a fence and a sign around the sprayfield and
vegetation is being maintained. The pump was last calibrated with a drawdown test in 2018 and found to
be pumping 14 gpm.
The facility averages 60 to 140 gpd of the 500 gpd permitted (low and irrigates 5 - 7" of the 39" permitted.
Records were reviewed and found to be in good order. Records have been submitted complete and on time,
There are no violations in the BIMS database for data submissions.
