Dear Mr Wagner:
Rose Pruitt of the Winston-Salem Regional Office performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection on the
wastewater treatment system at your property in Forsyth County, North Carolina on July 10, 2009. This type of
inspection consists of two basic parts: a review of self-monitoring data, and an on-site inspection of the facility and
its discharge.
You hold a General Permit to discharge Domestic Wastewaters from Single Family Residences under the
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Permit text Part I Section A specifies the limits and
monitoring requirements for your permit. The following parameters must be monitored on an annual basis: Flow,
Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD), Total Suspended Residue, and Fecal Coliform. A Laboratory with North
Carolina Wastewater Certification (a list of approved laboratories can be found at
http://h2o.enr.state.nc.us/lab/nccert.htm) must perform this monitoring. You must also conduct and document the
following maintenance activities:
® Septic tanks shall be maintained at all times to prevent seepage of sewage
• Septic tanks will be checked at least yearly to determine if solids must be removed
® Septic tanks shall be pumped out within 3-5 years of issuance date of the Permit. Contents removed from
septic tanks shall be disposed of at a location and in a manner compliant with all local and state regulations
The discharge from this system discharges to Bill Branch a Class C stream in the Yadkin River Basin. The
system was constructed about 1993. The septic tank was last pumped out:unknown. Chlorinator was not observed.
The discharge pipe was not observed at the time of the inspection. Monitoring records were not available.
Please see the enclosed Technical Bulletin for additional infounation. If you have any questions, please
contact Ms.Pruitt or me at(336)771-5000.
Sincerely,
Steve W.Tedder
