ADDITIONAL REGIONAL STAFF REVIEW ITEMS Staff of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR), Water Quality Regional Operations Section inspected the subject wastewater irrigation system on September 2, 2020. I wish to thank you and Randall Jarrell for your help during the inspection. The purpose of the visit was to conduct a compliance inspection as part of the permit renewal process. The septic tank was last pumped in 2019. The subsurface sand filter is reported to be in good working order. The tablet chlorinator had the proper type of tablets in place. The pump, alarms and controls were in working order. The rainbird pump control system was eplaced in 2020. The water was pumped down, so the sprayheads were not tested. They are reportedly in good working order. The spray system is operated manually during weekly ORC visits, as the facility averages 50 to 70 gpd. The fence near the road is in good order and is closed except when mowing. Vegetation in both sprayfields is kept mowed and in good condition. A copy of the permit and all maintenance logs, operation logs, sampling results and other necessary documentation were on site and in good order. A water sample was collected in July, per permit conditions and a soil sample is collected yearly. On the day of the inspection, the system appeared to be in good working order and was being well maintained. Both fields have the same hourly and yearly loading rate on the soil type and the system is set up to spray all heads in both fields as if it were one zone and one field. The current permit requires reporting the fields separately on the NDAR. As the two fields are always sprayed together, the ORC has reported as if there is only one field which has generated BIMS violations. He has requested that the permit be modified to list one field to simplify record keeping. As the two fields are essentially identical and as they are always sprayed identically, I recommend combining the acreage of field one (0.03 ac) and field two (0.12 ac) and modifying the permit to state that there is one field that is 0.15 ac. DocuSign Envelope ID: 197E1 13B-65OD-4D1 9-876C-5FOA79C3F34B The current permit states that there is a rain sensor. The system sprayed manually while the operator is on site. I recommend removing the rain sensor from the new permit. The NDMR does not contain a column for total N and it has not been reported which has generated BIMS violations. Please reissue a new NDAR to the ORC Randall Jarrell biowater(daol.com that contains a column for total N. DocuSign Envelope ID: 197E11313-650D-41D19-876C-5FOA79C3F34B ROY COOPER Governor MICHAEL S. REGAN Secretary S. DANIEL SMITH Director NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality September 4, 2020 Mark Riggsbee — Fire Chief North Chatham Volunteer Fire Department 45 Morris Road Pittsboro, NC 27312 Subject: Permit No.WQ0021204 North Chatham Volunteer Fire Department Wastewater Irrigation System Chatham County Dear Mr. Riggsbee, Staff of the NC Division of Water Resources (DWR), Water Quality Regional Operations Section inspected the subject wastewater irrigation system on September 2, 2020. I wish to thank you and Randall Jarrell for your help during the inspection. The purpose of the visit was to conduct a compliance inspection as part of the permit renewal process. The septic tank was last pumped in 2019. The subsurface sand filter is reported to be in good working order. The tablet chlorinator had the proper type of tablets in place. The pump, alarms and controls were in working order. The rainbird pump control system was eplaced in 2020. The water was pumped down, so the sprayheads were not tested.

A water sample was collected in July, per permit conditions and a soil sample is collected yearly. On the day of the inspection, the system appeared to be in good working order and was being well maintained. Both sprayfields have the same loading rate on the same soil and they are always sprayed as one. To simplify record keeping, I am recommending that the new permit be modified such that the ORC can report spraying on one 0.15 acre sprayfield rather than two sprayfields (one that is 0.03 acres and the other that is 0.12 acres). As the system is only sprayed manually while the operator is on -site, I am also recommending that the new permit be modified to remove the requirement for a rain sensor. Please see the attached inspection report. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email at ray.milosh@ncdenr.gov or at (919) 791-4240. Sincerely, LD'0CUSigned by:�ri}gsaza_.
