Application Summary
Applicant is seeking coverage under the NCG550000 general permit for discharge of their 100% domestic
waste. The property has a 3-bedroom house with a proposed flow of 360 GPD (120 GPD per bedroom).
The property has an existing permitted failing sand filter system. Durham County Public Health denied their
permit for repair application due to soil wetness, unsuitable soil depth and setbacks restricting availability
of space. The proposed discharge location is to an unnamed tributary on property that eventually reaches
Lick Creek. The proposed system will not expand from the existing 3-Bedroom system, keeping the design
flow at 360 GPD.
Proposed Improvements and Construction
The existing system will be replaced with the following treatment system:
• Septic tank with effluent filter
• Recirculation Pump Chamber
• Discharge Pump Chamber
• AdvanTex AX-20 RT Pod
• UV Disinfection
• Discharge point with Rip -Rap
Regional Office Staff Report
Jane Bernard of the Raleigh Regional Office does not object to upgrading the existing system.

Alternatives Summary (EAA):
Connection to sewer system
• The property is not currently within the Durham County's coverage area. The closest sewer line is
approximately 1,100 linear ft from the property, and there are no immediate plans to extend sewer
to the property. Estimated cost to connect to existing sewer ($1501ft) is $165,000.
Ground (subsurface) Adsorption
• Durham County Public Health indicated that the property is unsuitable for ground absorption septic
system due to unsuitable soil wetness conditions, and lack of available space due to setback
constraints.
• Based on a soil evaluation by Chris McGhee, the property is unsuitable for a ground absorption
septic system due to unsuitable soil wetness conditions, insufficient available space, and unsuitable
soil depth. While there is sufficient space for a subsurface drip field (14,625 sq ft), soil conditions
are not suitable for this system.
Non -Discharge (Drip & Spray)
• The applicant states that there is not sufficient space for a non -discharge surface system (2,488 sq
ft). If there was sufficient space, unsuitable soil conditions do not allow for non -discharge surface
system.
Reclaimed Water
The applicant states that the existing residential plumbing system does not allow for reuse. While
there may be sufficient space for a reuse system, it would be cost prohibitive for a single-family
residence.
Availability of Land
• The applicant states that there is 1 vacant lot South of the property. They state that the price
reflected is an estimate for the land, and that it does not reflect the value of the single family
residences on property.
o 0.55 Acre plot of land - $3,877
Local Government Review
• The applicant submitted the form to the Durham County and the City of Durham, however no
completed forms were included in the application.
