Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Single Family Wastewater Treatment System
Permit No. NCG550193
Durham County
Dear Mr. Schauer:
On 04/24/2012, Autumn Romanski, inspector from the Raleigh Regional Office dropped off
NCG550000 Permit information at the mailbox/driveway entrance of the above address. On 08/10/2012
the inspector visited your single-family residence (SFR) wastewater treatment system to evaluate
compliance with the above permit to discharge wastewater. Your time to accommodate the on-site visit
was greatly appreciated. The checked boxes below show what conditions were noted for this inspection:
In compliance: You are reminded to regularly maintain the chlorine disinfection and
dechlorination systems, have the effluent sampled once a year, and have the septic tank pumped
out every 3 to 5 years. Your good record of operation and meeting the permit requirements is
highly commended.
The effluent that is discharged from your system must be analyzed once each year. See Part I(A) of your
permit about his requirement. A list of NC certified laboratories that provide this service was provided
during the inspection. Please make arrangements for sampling to be carried out, if the system discharges
adequate flow under normal usage that would produce a representative sample and submit results to
this office within 30 days after the sampling has been completed.
If you have questions or comments about this inspection or the requirements please contact Autumn
Romanski at 919-791-4255.
Sincerely,
i-;a/21-1, 1Y-314 -

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Upon the first visit in April 2012, Permit information and request for permittee to call the RRO was left at the
mailbox.
An inspection was scheduled and conducted on August 10, 2012.
The permittee was compliant with the requirements of the permit the day of the inspection with the
exception of sampling. Some discharge was observed the day of the inspection, but the discharge was not
enough to take a representative sample. It may prove difficult to get a respresentative sample at this
site(only 2 in household -low water usage), and if the water was left running in order to have adequate flow
for sampling it would also not neccesarilybe a representative sample.
P P P 9
The sampling challenge was discussed with the permittee-who indicated he would contact a field sampling
service to inquire about the possibility of discharge sampling.
The system was in good condition and appeared to be working well, with no odors, soggy soils, or any other
signs of treatment issues.
Permit information and request for permittee to call the RRO was left at the mailbox.
