Dear Mr. Brandon:
On 04/27/2012, Autumn Romanski, inspector from the Raleigh Regional Office dropped off
NCG550000 Permit information at the mailbox/front entrance of the above address. The inspector made
a follow-up visit on 05/14/2012, and we completed a checklist of questions on your Single Family
Resident Wastewater Discharge System on 08/07/2012. Your time was greatly appreciated. The
checked boxes below show what conditions were noted from my site visit and our discussions:
11 In compliance: You are reminded to regularly maintain the chlorine disinfection and
dechlorination systems, have the effluent sampled once a year, and have the septic tank pumped
out every 3 to 5 years.
You are responsible for always having chlorine tablets in place. They must be the kind for
wastewater treatment and not for swimming pools.
E Failure to analyze the effluent: The effluent that is discharged from your system must be
analyzed once each year. See Part I(A) of your permit about his requirement. A list of NC
certified laboratories that provide this service was left at your residence. We discussed that your
discharge appears to be underground which will make sampling difficult. Please arrange for
sampling (if possible- access to discharge and representative sampling can be carried out)
within the next 3 months, and submit results to this office within 30 days after the sampling has
been done.

If you have questions or comments about this inspection or the ref irements please contact Autumn
Romanski at 919-791-4255.
