Inspection Summary:
The system appeared to be well installed with all components of the system as detailed in the permit
included.
The drip field did not have any cover crop planted. A competent vegetative cover needs to be
installed prior to operation of the system. Additionally, Permit Condition I. Schedules 1. states
“Upon completion of construction and prior to irrigation, a North Carolina licensed Soil Scientist
shall conduct a soil evaluation of all irrigation areas with placed fill material. The evaluation shall
certify that irrigation areas using fill material can accept the permitted loading rate. This
evaluation shall specifically address soil features such as soil compaction and saturated hydraulic
conductivity of the least permeable layer; soil fertility and amendments added; verification of fill suitability and depth of fill
material to the ground surface and the seasonal high-water table; and any other properties that might impact the soil's ability
to accept irrigated effluent. The Permittee shall submit the Soil Evaluation via the Non-Discharge online portal. The Permittee
shall not operate the wastewater irrigation system until
the Raleigh Regional Office approves the soil evaluation. [ 15A NCAC 02T .0108( b)( 1)( A)]”
I have not been able to locate the LSS evaluation of the disposal area that is required after the fill material was added and
incorporated in our database or files.
