Subject:
Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Permit # WQ0016158
Facility: 2330 Glovers Church Road SFR
Chatham County
On December 29, 2022, Jim Westcott from the Raleigh Regional Office visited your Single-
family residence (SFR) wastewater treatment and spray irrigation system to evaluate
compliance with the subject permit.
The facility is permitted for the operation .00036 (MGD) wastewater treatment and
irrigation facility consisting of a .42-acre of spray irrigation area and all associated piping,
valves, controls, and appurtenances with no discharge of wastes to surface waters.
The permit, which was issued March 1, 2018, is effective through February 28, 2023.
Division records indicate the required annual fee for the period ending February 28, 2023,
due March 5, 2022, has been paid.
Findings during the inspection were as follows:
1. Treatment system Operation: The wastewater treatment system shall be effectively
maintained and always operated so there is no discharge to surface waters, nor any
contravention of groundwater or surface water standards. At the time of inspection, the
permittee was not available.

2. Pumping the septic tank: You are required to inspect the septic tank annually 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. The
non -discharge permit requires the permittee to retain records associated with residuals
disposal for a period of 5 years. The septic tank was located and inspected. Please
forward a contract receipt of the volume of residuals removed from the tank within
thirty days of receiving this letter.
3. Disinfection: Your system uses a tablet chlorination disinfection unit for disinfection of
wastewater. The chlorination tablet disinfection system provides effective disinfection and
reduces harmful bacteria from entering the environment. The chlorine tablet disinfection
system should be checked weekly to ensure proper disinfection of the wastewater prior to
spray irrigation. The tablet chlorinator filter was located at the time of inspection. The
tablet feeder had adequate supply of tablets. The audible/visual high-water alarm was
not located.
4. Proper Operation and Maintenance: The system shall be inspected monthly to make
certain of the proper operation of the spray and irrigation system and that the sol is
assimilating the disposed treated wastewater with no surface runoff, and that no
objectionable odors are being generated. Any visible signs of a malfunctioning system shall
be documented, and steps taken to correct the problem. The irrigation spray field was
composed of 4 emitters. At the time of inspection, the emitters were not evaluated.
The spray field vegetative cover was in good condition and there was no evidence of
ponding within the spray field. The perimeter fencing surrounding the spray field
irrigation boundary was secure.
Please continue to periodically inspect and evaluate the wastewater spray irrigation
system components are properly maintained and operating as designed. Maintain all
associated operational records onsite for a period of five years as required by the subject
permit.
Within thirty days of receiving this letter, please contact this office with an updated
contact number for division records to schedule a follow up inspection.
If you have questions or comments about this inspection or the requirements to take
corrective action (if applicable), then please contact Jim Westcott at 919-791-4247 or
[e-mail].
