Your assistance during the inspection was greatly appreciated. Our records indicate the treatment system consists of a septic tank, pump tank, effluent pump, above ground recirculating sand filter, ultra -violet disinfection, discharge pipe and all associated components of a E-Z Treat Treatment System as well as a rip -rap apron for post aeration. General NPDES Permit NCG550000 and Certificate of Coverage (COC) NCG551592 authorize the discharge of domestic wastewater from your treatment system to receiving waters designated as an unnamed tributary to Overcup Creek (classified WS-IV; NSW) in the Cape Fear 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. 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. During the inspection, Leah Dudley provided documentation showing Clean Septic Tank Service pumped out the septic tank on May 29, 2020. The General NPDES Permit requires the permittee to retain records associated with sewage disposal activities for a period of at least 5 years. 2. Analyzing the effluent: Part 1. C., Effluent Li,nitations and Monitoring Requirements, within General Permit NCG550000 requires a perrnittee to sample and analyze the effluent leaving his/her treatment system prior to discharge annually.
