Dear Mr. Coward:
Jenny Graznak of the Winston-Salem Regional Office performed a Compliance Evaluation
Inspection on the sandfilter wastewater treatment system at your property in Forsyth County, North
Carolina on March 18, 2010. 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. No one was home during the
inspection. We were unable to contact you prior to this inspection as we do not have your most current
telephone number in our files.
You hold a General Permit to discharge Domestic Wastewaters from Single Family Residences
under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES). Two chlorinator tubes were located
during the inspection; however it was noted that their caps were missing. Chlorine tablets were observed
in the tube. The discharge pipe could not be located during the inspection. It is possible that the pipe is
hidden or perhaps in disrepair. A broken discharge pipe would require your immediate attention.
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
approved laboratories is attached) must perform the monitoring. 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
Please contact Ms. Graznak at [phone] to discuss your permit and wastewater system and
to update your contact information.
Sincerely,
Steve W. Tedder
Regional Supervisor
