Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) On March 11th, 2024, Ron Boone, of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Resources, conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of your single family wastewater treatment system. Thank you for assisting Mr. Boone in completing the inspection. The inspection results are summarized below: You showed Mr. Boone that your home actually has a traditional septic system, as well as a discharging system, and that as far as you know, it's been using the traditional septic system for many years now, and not the discharging system. You are Brian Warner, the son of the currently listed owner/permittee, Elizabeth Warner, who has since passed. You were unsure during the inspection, of when the septic tank was last pumped. Please be aware that the permit requires it to be pumped every three to five years. The chlorinator is visible in the southeast corner of the yard as two white PVC pipe sticking up out of the ground about 12", but you informed Mr. Boone you have put chlorine in for several years now due to the home using the traditional septic system. You did not have any chlorine tablets on hand either. You told Mr. Boone you are uncertain where the discharge pipe is. You should know where the discharge pipe is at all times, as the permit requires you to test the effluent water once per year using a NC certified laboratory. If the traditional septic system is operational you should consider abandoning the discharging system and thereby eliminating the discharge permit. It costs your more money and time to maintain both systems including the annual $60 fee for the discharge permit and of course the cost of chlorine and having the water tested. This is completely up to you, however. Mr. Boone contacted the Davie County Health Department on March 18th, 2024, and spoke with Tiffany Eldridge and Connie Crews, about your system. He has requested that they contact you to verify the viability of your traditional septic system to allow you to abandon your discharging system. You are technically non -compliant with this permit at this time due it not being in your name, not having the effluent tested annually, and not knowing where the discharge pipe is located. If you wish to abandon the discharging system, please work with the county Health Department to verify your traditional septic system is fully operational. Once that's done, you can contact Mr. Boone for assistance in abandoning the discharging system and deactivating your discharge permit. If you decide to keep the discharging system, please contact Mr. Boone to begin the process of transferring the permit to your name. You will also need to determine the location of the discharge pipe for future use in taking the annual effluent water samples and learn how to switch between use of the traditional system and the discharging system with the assistance of the county health department. If you have any questions or concerns about compliance, the inspection, or this report, please contact Mr. Boone by phone at 336-776-9690, or by email at ron.boone@deq.nc.gov.
