Dear Mr. Bowman:
On October 27, 2022 Jim Gonsiewski of this office conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection
on the subject wastewater treatment facility at the abovementioned address. You were present for
the inspection. Findings from the inspection are summarized in the enclosed report. The inspector
discussed several permit requirements with you during and after the inspection and two areas of
noncompliance with the permit are described below.
Observations made during the inspection indicated that the system appeared to be operating properly.
Mr. Gonsiewski provided you with a list of the proper chlorine tablet type and commercial sources
of the tablets. Please ensure that the septic tank is pumped out every three to five years.
The following areas of noncompliance were noted:
You are required to have the discharged water sampled and analyzed by a certified
laboratory annually. Attached please find a list with the names and phone numbers
of two laboratories. Records of monitoring should be maintained for at least 3 years.
At any time, the Division may request to review documentation required to be kept
by the Permit to determine compliance with its conditions.
Additionally, you are using an incorrect type of chlorine tablet. The tablets used
should contain calcium hypochlorite. As mentioned above, you were provided a sheet
listing the proper chlorine type and commercial sources of the chlorine during the
inspection. Please purchase these tablets and begin using them immediately.
Your immediate attention in addressing the above noncompliance issues is appreciated.
