Our records indicate the treatment system consists of a septic tank; a primary sand filter; a secondary sand filter; a tablet chlorinator; a chlorine contact chamber; and an effluent discharge pipe. General NPDES Permit NC6550000 and Certificate of Coverage (COC) NCG550906 authorize the discharge of domestic wastewater from your treatment system to receiving waters designated as Hyco Lake in the Roanoke River Basin. Findings during the inspection were as follows: 1. The septic tank shall be checked annually and pumped out every 3 to 5 years. The septic tank was pumped out in in 2022. 2. Treatment system operation. The treatment system shall be maintained at all times to prevent seepage of sewage to the surface of the ground. At the time of the inspection, the system appeared to be well maintained. 3. Chlorination. The tablet chlorinator shall be inspected weekly to ensure there is an adequate supply of tablets for continuous and proper operation. Wastewater grade tablets (calcium hypochlorite) shall be added as needed to provide proper chlorination (swimming pool chlorine tablets shall not be used). At the time of the inspection, the chlorinator had a sufficient amount and type of tablets and tablets are added as needed.

A visual review of the outfall location shall be executed twice each year (one at the time of sampling) to ensure that no visible solids or other obvious evidence of system malfunctioning is observed. Any visible signs of a malfunctioning system shall be documented, and steps taken to correct the problem. At the time of the inspection, the outfall location was clear and appeared to be well maintained and free of any obstructions. There was no water discharging at the time of the inspection. 5. Effluent sampling requirements. Effluent sampling must be conducted annually as part of your permit requirements. The effluent samples must be analyzed by a North Caroline Certified Lab and the results must be kept on site for three years. The effluent sampling has not been performed this year due to no flow being detected. 6. Fees and renewals. COC's with unpaid administering and compliance monitoring fees will not be automatically renewed. The fees must be paid annually and within 30 days of notification. All fees have been paid. If you have questions or comments about this inspection or the requirements of your permit, please contact Curtis Tyree via email at curtis.t ree rjde .nc. ►ov or 919-791-4251. Sincerely, Vanessa E.
