Hunt, Jr., Governor Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary A. Preston Howard, Jr., P.E., Director November 29, 1993 Randy Dean Burrell P..-O. Box 538 Leicester NC 28748 Subject: Certified Operator Requirements Single Family Treatment Systems. NPDES Permit No. NCG550634 Buncombe County Dear Mr.Burrell: During February of this year,public hearings were held on proposed changes to modify the operator certification rules. The proposed rules included a requirement that single-family discharge systems would be classified wastewater treatment facilities,which would require an annual inspection by a certified operator. The intent of the rule was to insure that the systems are being properly operated and maintained. During the public comment period, a significant amount of comments, statements and additional information was submitted. As,a result, the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification Commission amended the proposed rules. The rule, as adopted and effective July 1, 1993, now requires single-family discharging systems to be classified only if they are permitted after July 1, 1993 or if upon inspection by the Division of Environmental Management (DEM) it is found that the system is not being adequately operated and maintained. Systems can be inspected by DEM during routine compliance inspections, permit renewals., or complaint investigations. Once a system is classified, it will be required to have at a minimum,an annual inspection by a certified operator. It is important to remember that the NPDES permit is part of a Federal program administered by the State of North Carolina and that violations of the permit are enforceable by Federal.and State laws. Although your system will not be required to have a certified operator at this time,proper operation and maintenance is needed for the system to function satisfactorily. In as much as each system must be individually designed and sited, special maintenance requirements may apply to a specific installation.

The expiration date of the permit is on the first page of the General Permit. This General Permit expires on July 31, 2012. Approximately 180 days prior the expiration of the General Permit, you will receive a renewal notice in the mail from the Division. Key Permit Requirements To Remember • Annual sampling of the effluent from the system is required. • The parameters to be sampled can be found in Part 1, Section A. A North Carolina state certified laboratory should be contacted to perform the analytical monitoring. A list of North Carolina certified laboratories can be obtained by looking in the telephone directory yellow pages under"laboratories-testing" or by calling the Division of Water Quality Asheville Regional Office at 828-296-4500. • All samples should be collected before the effluent joins or is diluted by any other wastestream, water or substance. (Part II, Section DA) • The permittee shall give notice to the Division of any planned physical alterations or additions to the system that could significantly increase the quantity of pollutants discharged or introduce new pollutants to the discharge. These alterations include any types of residence facility expansions. (Part 11, Section E:3) • Submission of monitoring reports is NOT required. All monitoring information must be retained on site for a period of 3 years. (Part 11, Section E:1) Does a North Carolina state certified lab need to be used to analyze samples? Yes, a North Carolina certified lab must be used to perform analytical monitoring. The only exception to this rule is when measuring the value of pH. These pH values should be measured in the field because they may change considerably between when the sample is pulled and it is analyzed at the laboratory. Operation and Maintenance In order to protect water quality and to ensure proper operation of domestic wastewater systems, the following measures should be taken: • Check the septic tank every year to see if solids should be removed. • Have the septic tank pumped out every three to five years. Contact a local septic service/repair company from the yellow pages. Page# 2 c 9 ti Permit: NCG550634 Owner-Facility: 16 South Turkey Creek Road Inspection Date: 03/18/2011 Inspection Type: Compliance Evaluation Tips for Maintaining Your Septic Tank The septic tank is usually a watertight concrete box buried in the ground outside the house. Wastewaters from the house, including the toilets, shower, bathtub,washing machine and dishwasher flow into the tank. Heavier solid materials settle to the bottom and the liquid flows out of the tank into a soil drainfield. Both the septic tank and drainfield must be properly maintained for the system to work correctly for many years. Some tips for maintaining your septic system are: • Do not put too much water into the septic system. Try to conserve water wherever possible. • Do not add materials such as chemicals, sanitary napkins, or other foreign objects. • Restrict the use of your garbage disposal. • Do not pour fats, oils or grease (FOGS) down the drain. Have the solids pumped out of the septic tank every 3-5 years. • Keep automobiles and heavy equipment off of the septic tank and drain field. • Keep the area free of heavy vegetation, brush, bushes or trees, etc. Maintain grass over the area. Some of the signs that your septic system may be having problems are: • Sewage backing up into your toilets, tubs or sinks. • Slowly draining fixtures; particularly after it has rained. • The smell of raw sewage accompanied by soggy soil over the drainfield. • Sewage discharging over the ground or in nearby ditches or woods. If you see any of these signs, contact a septic repair company from the yellow pages in your area. Right-of-Way Issuance of this general permit does not relieve the permittee from obtaining all necessary right-of-way or easement rights to discharge wastewater on or across another property. What If I Sell My Property? The Division views changes of name or ownership as a minor modification and requires the Director's approval. Name and ownership changes require you to complete a Name/Ownership Change Form. The forms are available by contacting the NPDES Permitting Program at (919) 807-6300.
