ROGERS, JR. Director Snezana Cvejin 108 Hunter Hill Place Durham, NC 27517 NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality January 18, 2023 Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Single Family Wastewater Treatment System NPDES General Permit NCG550000 Certificate of Coverage NCG551596 Facility Name: 108 Hunter Hill Place Single Family Residence Orange County Dear Snezana Cvejin, On December 14th, 2022, Joe Myers from the Raleigh Regional Office visited your single-family residence (SFR) wastewater treatment system to evaluate compliance with the subject General NPDES Permit. The assistance Gael Chatelain provided over the telephone and during the inspection was greatly appreciated. Our records indicate the treatment system consists of a septic tank, an 800-gallon AdvanTex AX25-RT treatment system and controls, a discharge pipe, and a rip -rap apron for post aeration. General NPDES Permit NCG550000 and Certificate of Coverage (COC) NCG551596 authorize the discharge of domestic wastewater from your treatment system to receiving waters designated as an unnamed tributary to Buck Branch, a class WS-IV NSW stream in subbasin 03-06-06 of the Cape Fear River Basin. The authorized discharge is in accordance with the effluent limits and monitoring requirements established within the General Permit. The items below show what conditions were noted at your facility: Findings during the inspection were as follows: 1. Treatment system operation: The wastewater treatment system shall be maintained at all times to prevent seepage of sewage to the surface of the ground. 2. Pumping the septic tank: You are required to inspect the septic tank at least yearly 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. After the inspection, Elizabeth Mullins from McFarland Septic provided documentation via email showing that the septic tank was last pumped in April of 2020. The General GDE NORTH CAROLI NA 1' Elspoirnerrloremrnment W.i� North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources Raleigh Regional Office I 3800 Barrett Drive I Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 919.791.4200 DocuSign Envelope ID: 9E5D7EC1-9CF3-418B-B39D-2F09836B0BE9 NPDES Permit requires the permittee to retain records associated with sewage disposal activities for a period of at least 5 years. 3. UV Disinfection: Your system uses an ultra -violet (UV) light system for disinfection of the discharged wastewater. New rules put into place on August 1, 2007 require all SFR systems to have a means of disinfection (and dechlorination when chlorine tablets are used to disinfect, if the system was installed since that date). A UV disinfection system provides effective disinfection and prevents/limits harmful bacteria from discharging to the environment. Unless the UV disinfection unit is monitored by telemetry, the unit shall be checked weekly. The lamp(s) and quartz sleeve(s) shall be cleaned or replaced as needed to ensure proper disinfection of the discharged wastewater. 4. Discharge outlet location. The permittee is required to conduct a visual review of the outfall location at least twice each year (one at the time of sampling) to ensure that no visible solids or other obvious evidence of system malfunctioning is observed. Any visible signs of a malfunctioning system shall be documented and steps taken to correct the problem. The discharge pipe was visible and accessible the day of the inspection. Please continue to ensure the outlet is always visible/maintained and cleared of vegetation, soil and leaves. Division records indicate the required annual fee ($60 per year) for the period ending July 2023 and due August 2022 has been paid. There are no overdue fees for the subject COC. Please continue to periodically inspect the wastewater treatment system to ensure the treatment components are always maintained and in good operating order. You are also reminded to maintain all monitoring data and associated maintenance records onsite for a minimum of three years 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 Joe Myers at 919-791-4248.
