Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Single Family Wastewater Treatment System
General NPDES Permit NCG550000
Certificate of Coverage NCG550587
Facility: 6107 Dello Street WWTP
Durham County
Dear Mr. Paris:
On September 27, 2021, Mitch Hayes from the Raleigh Regional Office visited your single-
family residence (SFR) wastewater treatment system that you own at 6107 Dello Street to
evaluate compliance with the subject General NPDES Permit.
Our records indicate the treatment system consists of a septic tank, sub -surface sand filter, tablet
chlorinator, chlorine contact tank, dechlorinator, pump tank and discharge pipe.
General NPDES Permit NCG550000 and Certificate of Coverage (COC) NCG550587 authorize
the discharge of domestic wastewater from your treatment system to receiving waters designated
as an unnamed tributary to the Little River Reservoir (classified WS-II; HQW, 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 checked boxes below show
what conditions were noted at your facility:
® Treatment system operation: The wastewater treatment system shall be maintained
at all times to prevent seepage of sewage to the surface of the ground.
® Chlorine tablets in the chlorinator and dechlorinator tablets: 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 observe chlorine tablets in the
chlorinator and dechlor tablets in the dechlorinator.
® 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 Residual Chlorine, Total
Nitrogen, Total Phosphorus and Ammonia. According to our files, records are not being
maintained. Failure to monitor the effluent discharge as required is a violation of
NPDES General Permit NCG550000.
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 onsite for a minimum of three years from date of sampling and
available for inspection.
If you have questions or comments about this inspection or the requirements to take corrective
action (if applicable), then please contact Mitch Hayes at 919-791-4261.
