Subject: NOTICE OF VIOLATION
Tracking Number: NOV-2021-PC-0344
Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Single Family Wastewater Treatment System
NPDES General Permit NCG550000
Certificate of Coverage NCG550993
Facility Name: 3216 Hursey Street
Durham County
Dear Mr. Dixon:
On July 1, 2021, Josh Brigham from the Raleigh Regional Office visited your single-family
residence (SFR) wastewater treatment system to evaluate compliance with the subject General
NPDES Permit. No one was at home at the time of the inspection. The inspector left a packet of
information regarding Single Family Treatment Systems and the requirements of the General
Permit at the residence.
Our records indicate the treatment system consists of a septic tank, sub -surface sand filter, tablet
chlorinator with chlorine contact chamber, and discharge pipe.
General NPDES Permit NCG550000 and Certificate of Coverage (COC) NCG550993 authorize
the discharge of domestic wastewater from your treatment system to receiving waters designated
as an unnamed tributary to Little Lick Creek (classified WS-IV; NSW) in the Neuse River Basin.
The authorized discharge is in accordance with the effluent limits and monitoring requirements
established within the General Permit. The items below show what conditions were noted at
your facility:
Findings during the inspection were as follows:
1. Treatment system operation: The wastewater treatment system shall be maintained at
all times to prevent seepage of sewage to the surface of the ground.
2. Pumping the septic tank: You are required to inspect the septic tank at least yearly to
determine if solids must be removed or if other maintenance is necessary. Septic tanks

should be pumped out every five years or when the solids level is found to be more than
1/3 of the liquid depth in the septic tank compartment, whichever is greater. A pumping
company can check the status periodically and determine when pumping is required.
Within 30-days of receiving this letter, please send a copy of the most recent
receipdinvoice to this office showing the date the septic tank was last checked and/or
pumped out. The General NPDES Permit requires the permittee to retain records
associated with sewage disposal activities for a period of at least 5 years.
3. Chlorine tablets in the chlorinator: You are reminded that it is required that chlorine
tablets be maintained in the chlorinator to ensure proper disinfection of the discharged
wastewater. Chlorine tablets provide effective disinfection and prevent/limit harmful
bacteria from discharging to the environment. The product label for these tablets must
indicate the tablets are approved for wastewater use and not for swimming pools. Part
1, Section D (1) of General NPDES Permit NCG550000 requires the permittee to inspect
the tablet chlorinator weekly to ensure there is an adequate supply of tablets for
continuous and proper operation. Section D (4) requires the permittee to maintain all
system components, including disinfection units at all times and in good operating order.
The inspector did not observe the chlorinator and therefore could not observe any
chlorine tablets in the chlorinator. Please ensure the correct type of tablets are used and
maintained in the chlorinator as required by the General NPDES Permit.
4. Analyzing the effluent: Part 1. C., Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements,
within General Permit NCG550000 requires a permittee to sample and analyze the
effluent leaving his/her treatment system prior to discharge annually. Parameters to be
sampled and analyzed include Flow, BOD (Biochemical Oxygen Demand), Total
Suspended Solids, and Fecal Coliform. In the last inspection letter dated May 17, 2017,
you were requested to sample your effluent and to submit the analytical results to this
office. The Raleigh Regional Office has not received the requested results. Within 30-
days of receiving this letter, please let this office know if you have monitored your
effluent discharge within the last 12 months, and provide this office with a copy of the
lab results if you have. If you have not monitored your effluent, then please collect a
representative sample of the effluent, have it analyzed by a certified commercial
laboratory and submit the results to this office no later than September 15, 2021. If,
during this time, you are unable to collect a representative sample of the effluent
discharge due to insufficient flow from the discharge pipe, then update this office with
that information and continue to monitor the discharge and if conditions for sampling
become favorable, then arrange to collect a sample. Failure to monitor the effluent
discharge as required is a violation of NPDES General Permit NCG550000.
5. Locations of treatment units are unknown: Within 30-days of receiving this letter,
provide this office with a sketch or map of the location of the treatment units (septic tank,
sub -surface sand filter, tablet chlorinator with chlorine contact chamber, and discharge
pipe) in relation to the permitted residence.
6. Discharge outlet location. The permittee is required to conduct a visual review of the
outfall location at least twice each year (one at the time of sampling) to ensure that no
visible solids or other obvious evidence of system malfunctioning is observed. Any
visible signs of a malfunctioning system shall be documented and steps taken to correct

the problem. The end of discharge pipe was not visible nor accessible the day of the
inspection. To comply with the general permit monitoring requirements, you need to be
able to sample and analyze the effluent from your SFR system through the discharge
pipe. You need to keep the area around the discharge pipe cleared of vegetation, soil and
leaves. Please take the necessary steps to ensure the discharge outlet is visible and
accessible. Maintaining the area will allow you to monitor the discharge and to collect
effluent samples as required by the subject permit.
Part II Section B.14 of General Permit NCG550000 requires the permittee to "pay the annual
administering and compliance monitoring fee within thirty days after being billed by the
Division." The annual fee ($60 per year) for the period October 1, 2016 through September 30,
2017 was due by October 7, 2016. The annual fee ($60 per year) for the period October 1, 2017
through September 30, 2018, was due by October 8, 2017. The annual fee ($60 per year) for the
period October 1, 2018 through September 30 2019, was due by October 7, 2018. The annual
fee ($60 per year) for the period October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2020, was due by
October 5, 2019. The annual fee ($60 per year) for the period October 1, 2020 through
September 30, 2021, was due by October 2, 2020. These fees have not been paid and are
overdue. Payment in the amount of $300 must be remitted to the Division as indicated on the
attached Annual Permit Fee Invoices.
The wastewater treatment system should be periodically inspected to ensure the treatment
components are always maintained and in good operating order. You are also reminded to
maintain all monitoring data and associated maintenance records onsite for a minimum of
three years and available for inspection.
This inspection report is being issued as a Notice of Violation because the Division does not
have records of effluent analysis and does not know the location of the treatment units. Within
30-days receipt of this letter, please submit a written response to this office indicating the
actions you will take or have taken to comply with or resolve the issues noted in items 2-6
above.
If you have questions or comments about this inspection or the requirements to take corrective
action (if applicable), then please contact Josh Brigham at 919-791-4251.

Vanessa E. Manuel, Assistant Regional Supervisor
