This inspection was conducted to determine whether the system is being operated and maintained in compliance with General NPDES Permit No. NCG550000. Ms. Armeni spoke with Ms. Maley and was informed that the septic tank was last inspected and pumped in 2015. The residence is used as a vacation home. Overall, the system is currently in non-compliance with the requirements outlined in the permit because the tank has not been inspected or pumped since 2015 and the effluent pipe was not located. In order to resolve these noted deficiencies, please have the septic tank inspected and the effluent pipe located, and provide records documenting both. The septic tank should be pumped when the solids level is 1/3 of the liquid level in either chamber. Once the effluent pipe is located, annual sampling is required if the pipe discharges.
