Previously, on February 8, 2023, a Compliance Evaluation Inspection on the subject wastewater treatment facility permitted at this address was conducted by Mr. Gonsiewski. At some point prior to the visit on February 8, 2023, the house has been demolished to its foundation. DWR records show that a septic tank, sand filter, and chlorinator have been previously described as being located on the site. DWR staff were not able to identify the precise locations of these features or determine if they still exist and did not find the effluent outfall during this inspection either. However, staff did observe what may have been a chlorinator down the hill from the residence. Mr. Gonsiewski was unable to contact you before completing this inspection. Records indicate that you are listed as the owner of the permit. On February 27, 2023, this office sent an email to your address listed in our files. After receiving a response from you on March 10, 2023, the meeting was scheduled at the property for March 13, 2023. Mr. Gonsiewski met Mr. Luis Gonzalez on March 13 at the site at 5:30 PM. He informed Mr. Gonsiewski that you will be living in a mobile home on the property. He also stated that the home that was previously on the property was uninhabitable. They walked around the site and discussed the various components of the septic system. Mr. Gonzalez had located the septic tank and the water supply well. Two other components of the system (the chlorinator and effluent pump) were also located. The exact location of the sand filter and the effluent outfall were not determined. Mr. Gonzalez said he would be replacing the effluent pump. There are several operational requirements of the permit that this office wants to bring to your attention before the system is used.
