Person County Dear Mr. Lowery, On June 13, 2023, Curtis Tyree from the Raleigh Regional Office visited your single-family residence (SFR) wastewater treatment system to evaluate compliance with the subject General NPDES Permit. Our records indicate the treatment system consists of a septic tank; a below ground primary sand filter; a chlorinator; a discharge pipe; and a rip -rap apron for post aeration. General NPDES Permit NCG550000 and Certificate of Coverage (COC) NCG551119 authorize the discharge of domestic wastewater from your treatment system to Hyco Lake. Findings during the inspection were as follows: 1. The septic tank shall be checked annually and pumped out every 3 to S years. Mr. Lowery stated that the septic tank had been pumped out in 2017 and he has had a contractor to inspect the system in 2021 and the tank didn't need to be pumped out at that time. He will have the contractor to come out and inspect the system again this year and email the results to Curtis Tyree. 2. Treatment system operation. The treatment system shall be maintained at all times to prevent seepage of sewage to the surface of the ground. Mr. Lowery inspects his system on a regular basis. 3. Chlorination. The tablet chlorinator shall be inspected weekly to ensure there is an adequate supply of tablets for continuous and proper operation. Wastewater grade tablets (calcium hypochlorite) shall be added as needed to provide proper chlorination (swimming pool chlorine tablets shall not be used). At the time of the inspection, the D North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality I Division of Water Resources Raleigh Regional Office 1 3800 Barrett Drive i Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 Q919.791.4200 chlorinator had a sufficient amount and type of tablets and Mr. Lowery inspects the tubes often. 4. Outfall location. A visual review of the outfall location shall be executed 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. At the time of the inspection, the outfall location was clear and appeared to be well maintained and free of any obstructions. There was no water discharging at the time of the inspection, 5. Effluent sampling requirements. Effluent sampling must be conducted annually as part of your permit requirements. The effluent samples must be analyzed by a North Caroline Certified Lab and the results must be kept on site for three years. Mr. Lowery has not been able to collect a sample yet this year due to no flow to the out fall but will collect one as soon as he detects a flow. 6. Fees and renewals. COC's with unpaid administering and compliance monitoring fees will not be automatically renewed The fees must be paid annually and within 30 days of notification. All fees have been paid.
