this discharge of domestic wastewater from your treatment system to receiving waters designated
as unnamed tributary to Upper Little River in the 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.
