Sullins, Director Division of Water Quality Subject: Bollinger Single Family Residence COC No. NCG550201 Compliance Evaluation Inspection Alexander County Dear Mr. Bollinger: Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection (CEI) for the inspection conducted at the subject facility on June 17, 2008, by Ms. Barbara Sifford with this Office. Thank you for your assistance and cooperation during the inspection. The system at the time of the inspection did not have a discharge therefore no analytical had been performed. The chlorinator and discharge box were dry and there is no presence of surface discharge. Should this system ever discharge samples should be collected and. analyzed. If the system fails and causes any surface water impacts or discharges to the ground surface the system will have to be repaired to original design specifications. The enclosed reports should be self-explanatory. If you have any questions, comments, or need assistance with understanding any aspect of your permit or this report, please do not hesitate to contact me at (704) 663- 1699,ext 2196.

Inspection from this office in 1992 indicated no flow at that time. Meter readings from the City of Hickory watermeter indicate about 3000 gallons per month are used at the residence. The wastewater has to be leaking underground either from the tank or the sand filter. No discharge to the lake or to the surface of the ground is apparent. No environmental impacts can be detected, should this ever occur the system will have to be repaired to design specifications.
