Dear Mr. Brewer:
Mr. Ron Boone, of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the North Carolina Division of Water
Quality (DWQ or the Division), conducted a compliance evaluation inspection (CEI) of your single
family residence wastewater treatment system located at 4668 Palace Avenue, in Winston Salem,
Forsyth County, North Carolina, on October -1.5th, 2010. Your assistance and cooperation was
greatly appreciated. Inspection findings are summarized below and an inspection report is attached
for your records.
According to Forsyth County tax records, you took ownership of the property in 2001. The
Division had sent several pieces of correspondence to that address since then which were addressed
to Frances Meacham or Current Owner. No response to that correspondence was ever received. It
is noted that the physical address of the residence actually changed from 4526 to 4668 sometime in
the past ten years. Please let us know exactly when the address was changed.
There were no records available at the time of the inspection, including blueprint drawings,
maintenance records, records of the septic tank being pumped, effluent analytical records, etc. Mr.
Boone advised you to start keeping all records as required by the permit.
Mr. Boone could not locate the chlorinator or the discharge pipe. The stream did not exhibit
any adverse conditions that may have been related to the discharge. No samples were taken
however.
Please continue to search for original record drawings and other records that may assist you in
locating the chlorinator and discharge pipe and notify this office if and when you do locate either. The
Forsyth County Health Department may be able to assist you in finding original record drawings for
the property. You may also contact them through their website. Attached is a copy of the general
permit, its technical bulletin, a list of chlorine suppliers, and a record drawing from our files that may
help you locate the chlorinator and discharge pipe.

New owner is Jay Christopher Brewer since 2001. Mr. Brewer could not locate documentation of tank
pumping but stated it was done within the past 5 years. Mr. Brewer was unaware that it is a discharging
system and of the permit. Gave him an Ownership/Name change form to fill out and send to Raleigh.
Neither the chlorinator nor the discharge pipe was located. Stream appeared fine but did not take samples.
Told Mr. Brewer he needs to locate chlorinator and begin using WW rated chlorine tablets as required. Gave
him copy of NCG550000 permit, tech bulletin, and list of chlorine suppliers. Will email it to him also at
jb61 01 @yahoo.com.
