Dear Mr. and Mrs. Locklear,
On September 20, 2018, Kelli Park and Jenny Graznak, of this office conducted a
compliance evaluation inspection on the wastewater discharge system located at the
above address. The State requires the Division of Water Resources to inspect these types
of systems every five years.
Miss Park and Ms. Graznak located the effluent discharge pipe but were unable to locate
the chlorination tubes. Please be aware that the permit requires that the chlorinator be
adequately supplied with chlorine tablets for proper operation. The effluent being
discharged into the creek was clear at the time of inspection, and there were no noticeable
impacts to the stream.
The permit also requires that the septic tank contents be pumped out every 3-5 years to
prevent solids from clogging the sand filter system. It is unknown when the system was
pumped last. Please keep records of septic tank pumping on hand as a historical record
and proof that you had the tank pumped.
It is unknown whether the effluent water has been consistently tested by a laboratory.
Water samples from the effluent are required to be analyzed at least once a year by a
certified laboratory. These records are required to be maintained and should be shared
with NCDEQ upon request. Since you were not home the day of inspection this was not
evaluated. A copy of the permit monitoring requirements is attached to this letter for
reference of what should be monitored.
Failure to properly operate and maintain the system can result in expensive repair costs
as well as failure of the system to properly treat the wastewater. If you have any questions
