You were present for the inspection. This type of inspection consists of two basic parts: a review of self-monitoring data, and an on-site inspection of the facility and its discharge. You hold a General Permit to discharge domestic wastewater from a single family residence under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). The effluent pipe could not be located during the inspection, and there was no evidence of a wastewater discharge in the area. According to system drawings and specifications provided during the inspection, the system was designed to discharge into the Haw River. If you notice any future discharge, please perform the effluent monitoring as listed in the permit. A Laboratory with North Carolina Wastewater Certification must perform this monitoring. A list of certified laboratories is attached to this letter for your use. You must also 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 • If you have any questions concerning this report, please contact Ms. Freeman or me at (336) 771-5000.
