Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
1 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. The septic tank was pumped on March 29, 2021.
1 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. Only use wastewater approved tablets in the chlorinator as required by the General NPDES
Permit.
1 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, Fecal Coliform, Total Nitrogen, Ammonia,
Total Phosphorous and Total Residual Chlorine. During the inspection, you informed the inspector
that there is not enough flow to sample. Please monitor the effluent pipe during heavy use, if a flow is
observed please make arrangements to sample during heavy use times. Failure to monitor the
effluent discharge as required is a violation of NPDES General Permit NCG550000.
1 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 discharge pipe was visible and
accessible the day of the inspection. Please continue to ensure the outlet is always
visible/maintained and cleared of vegetation, soil and leaves
