Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Stephanie Williams, with the Asheville Regional Office, conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection
of the single-family wastewater disposal system that services 109 Churchill Downs Drive. This
inspection was conducted to determine if the system is being operated and maintained in compliance
with General NPDES Permit No. NCG550000. Ms. Williams met with Sarah Armstrong (owner) during
the inspection.
The septic tank is located to the left of the house and the sand filter is behind the home – the grass is
clearly growing differently in this area. No ponding was noted. The discharge pipe is located to the
right of the bridge at the back of the property. Ms. Armstrong stated that the pipe does not discharge,
which was confirmed during the inspection. Ms. Williams explained the requirement to have the
effluent sampled should the system begin to discharge. The tank was pumped 3/29/2022.
