Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) Dear Mrs. Brenda Murdock: On July 25th, 2024, Ron Boone, Brooke Stevens, and Michael Gearren, of the Winston-Salem Regional Office of the NC Division of Water Resources, conducted a compliance evaluation inspection of your home's discharging wastewater treatment system. Mr. Murdock had recently passed, and we therefore spoke with you about the system's condition. Your assistance and cooperation was greatly appreciated. According to you, your late husband maintained the system as required. The septic tank was pumped regularly, and chlorine was added to the system as needed. Please be aware that the permit annual fee of $60 has not been paid since 2019. The permit is also still in your late husband's name and this should be changed to reflect you as the new owner. With just one person living in the home, you should have the septic tank pumped once every five years at a minimum. Additionally, the chlorinator should be checked weekly and chlorine added as needed. Additionally, the permit requires you to have the effluent of the system tested once per year by a laboratory certified by the NC Division of Water Resources Laboratory Certification Branch. We have attached to this inspection report: 1. Partially filled out Name/Ownership Change form; 2. Copy of NCG550000 General NPDES discharge permit; 3. NCG550000 Technical Bulletin; 4. Chlorine information; and, 3. List of NC Certified Laboratories. Please finish filling out the Name/Ownership Change form and send it to the address listed at the bottom of the second page of the form. You may also send a copy to Mr. Boone to the address located at the bottom of the first page of this letter or via email (his email address is in the last paragraph of this letter). Once the Division receives the properly completed Name/Ownership Change form, they will change owner/permittee to you and issue a new certificate of coverage for your home in your name. Please also have the effluent from your system tested as required by the permit. We have attached a list of certified laboratories that can properly test the effluent from your system as required. Lastly, we want to ensure that you are using the proper type of chlorine in your system. The type you should use is commonly known as wastewater grade chlorine, the primary ingredient of which is approximately 70 percent calcium hypochlorite. Using any other type of chlorine is not authorized by the permit, is not as efficient and will end up costing the user more money in the end, and unnecessarily expose the user to dangerous conditions. Regardless of the type of chlorine you use you should wear personal protective gear when handling the chlorine tablets, such as protective gloves, protective eyewear, and a face mask. Whatever you do, do NOT breathe in the fumes emitted from these tablets. Remain upwind of the tablets at all times while handling them. Also, do NOT touch your eyes, nose, mouth, etc, with your hands after handling them until you have the opportunity to first wash your hands thoroughly. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the inspection or this report, please contact Mr. Boone by phone at 336.776.9690, or by email at ron.boone@deq.nc.gov.
