You were unable to meet with Mr. Boone onsite due to work obligations, but your father met with him for a short time and showed Mr. Boone the Chlorine tablets you use. Your assistance and cooperation was greatly appreciated. Inspection findings are detailed in the attached Water Compliance Inspection Report and summarized below. Mr. Boone did not note any signs of malfunction or failure of the wastewater system during his visit to your home. The Chlorine tablets you are using are the correct size and type. However, you are NOT completely compliant with all permit requirements. Please refer to the attached Water Compliance Inspection Report for full details. For your information, we have provided the following attachments to this letter to help you become more familiar and compliant with all permit requirements: 1. NCG55_General_Permit.pdf 2.

Page# 1 3I NPDES yr/mo/day N CG550469 111 121 21 /01 /20 117 Inspection Type 18 [j (Cont.) 1 Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) You were not available to meet with the inspector. The inspector performed a cursory inspection and verified you are using the proper type of chlorine tablets. The inspector did speak with you by phone post inspection. Billing is current. No analytical monitoring has been conducted as of yet. Minimal operation & maintenance records have been maintained, but the system appears to be in good condition and operating properly. It is recommended to add a maximum of six tablets at a time to the tablet tubes. Tablets can absorb moisture, swell, and clog up vertical feed tube so tablets do NOT contact water. Once it is known about how many tablets are needed per week, you can add that number each time you check it. The permit requires you to check chlorinator once weekly. No sewage seepage was detected during the inspection. You stated the septic tank is pumped regularly. Please keep records of tank pumpings as proof of when it was pumped, i.e. the pumping invoice or receipt of payment. The permit requires tank's solid's levels to be checked annually and then the tank pumped when the solid's level reaches more than 1/3 the liquid depth of the tank, or every five years, whichever is sooner. If there is an effluent filter on the tank it must be inspected, cleaned, reinstalled, or replaced annually. The septic hauler should do this for you when the tank is pumped. All tank pump and alarm systems must be checked for proper operation monthly and repaired as needed. The permittee must notify the Division upon receipt of notice of non-compliance, such as exceedance of the analytical limits. The outfall location must be inspected and properly maintained at least twice per year to allow ready access at all times. The annual permit fee must be submitted before the due date indicated on the billing invoice. The certificate of coverage will be automatically renewed as long as the annual permit fee is paid on time. A renewal application is NOT required. However, unpaid annual fees will result in the COC not automatically renewing and defaulting to expired status. All data and records, analytical, operational, or administrative, must be kept on file on site for a minimum of three years.
