Dear Ms. Grounds:
Enclosed is a copy of the Compliance Evaluation Inspection for the inspection conducted
at the subject facility on June 13, 2017, by Ori Tuvia.
The main area of concern found during the inspection was that the septic tank has not
been pumped in the last 5 years. The permit requires that the Septic tank should be pumped at
least every 5 years and a record of pumping must be available for review during the inspection.
Additionally, it was indicated that due to no flow, no sampling could be performed. If
flow is observed in the future, sampling must be conducted.
The report should be self-explanatory; however, should you have any questions
concerning-this-report,-please-do not-hesitate-to-contact-Ori-Tuvia-at-(704)-235-2190,-or-at -----
