Dear Permittee:
You are receiving this notice because you currently own a property covered under the subject
General Permit for the discharge of domestic wastewater. NOG550000 will expire on July 31, 2007.
Federal (40 CFR 122.41) and North Carolina (15A NCAC 2H.0105(e)) regulations require
that permit renewal applications be filed at least 180 days prior to expiration of the current permit.
To satisfy this requirement, the Division must receive a renewal request postmarked no later than
February 1, 2007.
The Certificate of Coverage (Coe) specific to your property was last issued on February 28,
2003. The Division needs information from you to determine if coverage under NCG550000 is still
necessary.
➢ If your property still has a wastewater system like the ones described in the enclosed
Technical Bulletin, you must renew the subject Coe. Complete the enclosed form and
submit it to the address on the form.
➢ If you are not sure what type of system your property has, contact Larry Frost in the NO
DENR Asheville Regional Office at. That person [or other staff members] can help you
determine if you should renew your Coe.
➢ If you know that your property no longer discharges wastewater, contact me at the
address or phone number listed below to request rescission of the Coe.
➢ This information request does not pertain to the Annual Fee of$50.00 billed
senarately by the Division's Budget Office. No money is reuuired for this
procedure. The Annual Fee is like the fee you annually pay the DMV for the sticker on
your vehicle's license plate. Renewal of your Coe is like the renewal of your Driver's.
License [ca. every five years].
➢ If you have already mailed a renewal request,you may disregard this notice.

On December 6,2016 Dan Boss conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection at 224 Kirk Way in
Buncombe County. The owner,Jeff Cobb was present for the duration of the inspection. The overall
appearance of the system was clean and well maintained. The septic tank is being pumped on a
regular schedule. The last pumping was spring of 2016. No ponding, excessive vegetation, or sewage
smell was observed at any part of the system. Chlorination tubes contained tablets of the correct size _
and type which were in contact with the effluent. I told Mr.Cobb he could keep one chlorination tube
l filled with tablets instead of two,since he is the only individual on the system. System was not
discharging at the time of the inspection. Mr. Cobb makes regular checks of the effluent pipe and has
sample bottles on hand for collection in the event of a discharge.

Section n:Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
On April 20,2016, Rob Topolski of the Asheville Regional Office(ARO)conducted a Compliance
Evaluation Inspection of the Single Family Residence wastewater treatment system INPDES Permit
No. NCG551228)at 224 Kirk Way in Buncombe County, NC. The property owner, Mr.Jeff Cobb,was
present during this inspection. He is a relatively new owner and was not familiar with his wastewater
treatment system. Mr.Cobb was given an ownership change form to complete and submit and was
given a copy of the general permit and technical bulletin. System components were observed and
permit requirements were discussed with the owner.
A water leak was observed up gradient from the septic tank and needs to be repaired. Mr. Cobb did not
have records of annual septic tank inspections or pumping events. The septic tank should be pumped
out every 3-5 years or when the solids level is found to be more than 1/3 of the liquid depth in any
compartment.
Chlorine tablets were not present in the chlorinator. Mr. Cobb had a bucket of chlorine tablets for
swimming pools that the previous owner left with the house. He was instructed to obtain wastewater
specific tablets for 3-inch pipes. The chlorine contact chamber was turbid with a light brown slime
observed on the bottom of the pipe flowing into the chamber. The chlorine contact chamber needs to
be pumped when the septic tank is pumped out. Maintain all pumping records for inspection.
The Regional Office file did not have detailed plans showing location of system components or
possible connection to the effluent line from the neighboring systems. The right of way to the outall at
Pole Creek was overgrown with vegetation and could not be located. Inspections were conducted
concurrently at the neighboring systems at 218 and 220 Kirk Way and it appears that these three
systems may share an ouffall. These permittees should maintain the ouffall right of way and
investigate the Flow of this possible shared ouffall so that each may develop a sampling plan. Annual
samples must be representative for each separate system's effluent and must be analyzed by a North
Carolina certified laboratory.
The Annual Administering and Compliance Monitoring Fee has not been paid for 2015 and is past due.
Consequently,this permit has expired. Upon submittal of the ownership change form,you should
begin receiving invoices for the annual fee. If you have not received an invoice by July 2016, please
contact Bob Sledge at(919)807-6398 to determine how to make a payment and renew the subject
permit.

Regarding the General Permit(NCG550000)for Single Family Residences:
When does my permit expire and how do I renew it?
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 I, 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 ll, 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 II, 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 II, 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 Feld 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.
• Inspect disinfection and dechlorination equipment(if applicable)weekly to confirm proper
operation.
• If a chlorinator and/or dechlorinator is installed, replace tablets whenever necessary.

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.
Chlorination and Dechlorination Tablets
• If the treatment system has a chlorinator or dechlorinator, it is important that there is an
adequate supply of tablets to ensure proper disinfection. There will usually be a white PVC pipe
sticking up from the chlorinator/dechlorinator where the tablets should be inserted.
• Ensure that the chlorine tablets are making contact with the wastewater. Moisture can cause
them to swell up and clog the feeder tube. If this happens, shake the feeder tube or use a pipe
or rod to dislodge the swollen tablets.
• Tablets can be obtained from most plumbing or chemical supply stores. Make sure that the tablets
are certified for wastewater use. Chlorine tablets are NOT the same type of chlorine used for
swimming pools.
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.
