Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection —General Wastewater Permit No. NCG550197
• Alamance County
Dear Mrs. Cagle:
On November 17, 2011, Jenny Graznak of this office performed a General Permit Inspection
on the wastewater treatment system at the abovementioned address in Alamance County, North
Carolina. You hold a General Permit to discharge domestic wastewater from a single-family
residence under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The effluent from
your system discharges to the Haw River in the Cape Fear River Basin. Although Ms. Graznak was
able to locate the chlorinator for your wastewater system, she was unable to locate the discharge
pipe.
Please be reminded that should you ever detect a discharge from the pipe, permit text Part I
Section A (attached to this correspondence) specifies the limits and monitoring requirements for your
permit. A Laboratory with North Carolina Wastewater Certification (a list of nearby approved
laboratories is attached) must perform the monitoring. As a reminder, the permit also requires that
you conduct and document the following maintenance activities:
✓ Septic tanks shall be maintained at all times to prevent seepage of sewage
✓ Septic tanks will be checked at least yearly to determine if solids must be removed
✓ Septic tanks shall be pumped out within 3-5 years of issuance date of the Permit
✓ Contents removed from septic tanks shall be disposed of at a location and in a manner
compliant with all local and state regulations
✓ Surface sand filters, disinfection apparatus shall be inspected weekly
Ms. Graznak attempted to contact you prior to the inspection, but we do not have a current
phone number for your residence. Please provide our office with your updated contact information.
You may contact Ms. Graznak at(336) 771-4960 at your earliest convenience.
Sincerely,G� ,q_
