Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection —General Wastewater Permit No. NCG550229
Alamance County
Dear Mr. Thacker:
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 an unnamed tributary to Big Alamance Creek in the Cape Fear River
Basin. All system components appeared to be well maintained and functioning properly during the
inspection. Chlorine tablets were observed in the chlorination tubes.
No discharge was observed from the pipe despite the heavy rain on the day of the
inspection. 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
V 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. Graznak at(336)771-4960.
Sincerely,
