Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Lauren Armeni and Stephanie Williams with the Asheville Regional Office conducted a compliance
evaluation inspection of the single-family wastewater disposal system that services 1402 Dellwood
Road. This inspection was conducted to determine whether the system is being operated and
maintained in compliance with General NPDES Permit No. NCG550000.
We have been unable to contact the current owner, Mr. Brian Livesey. No septic tank or annual
sampling records were provided because we could not contact Mr. Livesey. Septic tank and annual
sampling records have not been provided to the Asheville Regional Office, which has been an ongoing
issue since 2016. Additionally, it needs to be verified that the chlorine tablets previously stored in the
chlorination well are kept in the chlorination tubes at all times.
