This wastewater treatment system, located at 8013 Massey Chapel Road, in Durham County NC, is currently permitted to Phillip N. Stapelton. General NPDES Permit NCG550000 and Certificate of Coverage (COC) NCG550864 authorize this discharge of domestic wastewater from your treatment system to receiving waters designated as unnamed tributary to New Hope Creek, Cape Fear River Basin. This authorized discharge is in accordance with the effluent limits and monitoring requirements established within the General Permit. The subject site visit and file review revealed the following: 1. Pumping the septic tank: Septic tanks should be pumped out approximately every five years or when the solids level is found to be more than 1/3 of the liquid depth in the septic tank compartment, whichever is greater. A pumping company can check the status periodically and determine when pumping is required. The General NPDES Permit requires the permittee to retain records associated with sewage disposal activities for a period of at least S years. 2. Chlorine tablets in the chlorinator: You are reminded that it is required that chlorine tablets be maintained in the chlorinator to ensure proper disinfection of the discharged wastewater.

The product label or these tablets must indicate the tablets are approved for wastewater use and not for swimming pools. Part 1, Section D (1) of General NPDES Permit NCG550000 requires the permittee to inspect the tablet chlorinator weekly to ensure there is an adequate supply of tablets for continuous and proper operation. Section D (4) requires the permittee to maintain all system components, including... disinfection units ... at all times and in good operating order. Please ensure the correct type of tablets are used and maintained in the chlorinator as required by the General NPDES Permit. Please be sure to keep records of this nature available for your reference and used during future inspections. 3. Discharge outlet location. The permittee is required to conduct a visual review of the outfall location at least twice each year (once 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. To comply with the general permit monitoring requirements, you need to be able to sample and analyze the effluent from your SFR system through the discharge pipe outlet. You need to keep the area around the discharge pipe cleared of vegetation and leaves. Please take the necessary steps to ensure the discharge outlet is identifrable/visible and accessible. Maintaining the area will allow you to monitor the discharge and to collect effluent samples as required by the subject permit. 4. Analyzing the effluent: Part 1. C., Effluent Limitations and Monitoring Requirements, within General Permit NCG550000 requires a permittee to sample and analyze the effluent leaving his/her treatment system prior to discharge annually. If you have not already collected the effluent for this year, please collect a representative sample of the effluent, have it analyzed by a certified commercial laboratory. If no wastewater flow is observed from your system, please document that information for your records and use during the next system inspection. If you have any questions regarding this matter, please do not hesitate to contact Danny Smith at (919) 791-4248. 5.
