Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Single Family Wastewater Treatment System
General NPDES Permit NCG550000
Certificate of Coverage NCG550821
Facility: 133 Outlaw Road
Person County
Dear Mr. Parker:
On September 24, Kevin Fowler from the Raleigh Regional Office visited your single-family
residence (SFR) wastewater treatment system to evaluate compliance with the subject General
NPDES Permit. The assistance you provided over the telephone was greatly appreciated.
Our records indicate the treatment system consists of a septic tank, sub-surface sand filter, tablet
chlorinator, and discharge pipe.
General NPDES Permit NCG550000 and Certificate of Coverage (COC) NCG550821 authorize
the discharge of domestic wastewater from your treatment system to receiving waters designated
as the North Flat River (classified WS-III;NSW) in the Nesue River Basin. The authorized
discharge is in accordance with the effluent limits and monitoring requirements established
within the General Permit. The items below show what conditions were noted at your facility:
Findings during the inspection were as follows:
1. Site Abandoned: The facility is not currently occupied and is an abandoned
single wide mobile home. The property owner Reece Parker confirmed that no
one lived there but he potentially plans on putting another home on the property in
the future.
2. Pumping the septic tank: You are required to inspect the septic tank at least
yearly to determine if solids must be removed or if other maintenance is
necessary. Septic tanks should be pumped out every five years or when the solids
level is found to be more than 1/3 of the liquid depth in the septic tank
compartment, whichever is greater. A pumping company can check the status
periodically and determine when pumping is required. Within 30-days of
receiving this letter, please send a copy of the most recent receipt/invoice to this

office showing the date the septic tank was last checked and/or pumped out.
The General NPDES Permit requires the permittee to retain records associated
with sewage disposal activities for a period of at least 5 years.
3. Chlorine tablets in the chlorinator: You are reminded that it is required that
chlorine tablets be maintained in the chlorinator to ensure proper disinfection of
the discharged wastewater. Chlorine tablets provide effective disinfection and
prevent/limit harmful bacteria from discharging to the environment. The product
label for these tablets must indicate the tablets are approved for wastewater use
and not for swimming pools. Part 1, Section D (1) of General NPDES Permit
NCG550000 requires the permittee to inspect the tablet chlorinator weekly to
ensure there is an adequate supply of tablets for continuous and proper operation.
Section D (4) requires the permittee to maintain all system components,
including...disinfection units...at all times and in good operating order. The
chlorinator was not able to be located so it was not possible to determine if
chlorination tablets were being used. Please ensure the correct type of tablets are
used and maintained in the chlorinator as required by the General NPDES
Permit.
4. Analyzing the effluent: Part 1. C., Effluent Limitations and Monitoring
Requirements, within General Permit NCG550000 requires a permittee to sample
and analyze the effluent leaving his/her treatment system prior to discharge
annually. Parameters to be sampled and analyzed include Flow, BOD
(Biochemical Oxygen Demand), Total Suspended Solids, Fecal Coliform, Total
Residual Chlorine, Total Nitrogen, Ammonia Nitrogen and Total Phosphorous
During the inspection, you informed the inspector that the effluent has not been
monitored within the last 12 months. Please collect a representative sample of
the effluent, have it analyzed by a certified commercial laboratory and submit
the results to this office no later than 11/30/2024. If, during this time, you are
unable to collect a representative sample of the effluent discharge due to
insufficient flow from the discharge pipe, then update this office with that
information and continue to monitor the discharge and if conditions for sampling
become favorable, then arrange to collect a sample. Failure to monitor the
effluent discharge as required is a violation of NPDES General Permit
NCG550000.
5. Locations of treatment units are unknown: Within 30-days of receiving this
letter, provide this office with a sketch or map of the location of the treatment
units (septic tank, chlorinator, effluent pipe) in relation to the permitted residence.
6. Discharge outlet location. The permittee is required to conduct a visual review
of the outfall location at least 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. The end of discharge pipe was not visible
nor accessible the day of the inspection. To comply with the general permit
monitoring requirements, you need to be able to sample and analyze the effluent
from your SFR system through the discharge pipe. You need to keep the area
around the discharge pipe cleared of vegetation, soil and leaves. Please take the
necessary steps to ensure the discharge outlet is visible and accessible.

Maintaining the area will allow you to monitor the discharge and to collect
effluent samples as required by the subject permit.
7. Part II Section B.14 of General Permit NCG550000 requires the permittee to “pay
the annual administering and compliance monitoring fee within thirty days after
being billed by the Division.” Division records indicate the required annual fee
($60 per year) has not been paid for the following periods ending 9/30/2020, and
9/30/2017. These fees have not been paid and are overdue. Payment in the
amount of $60 (per invoice) must be remitted to the Division as indicated on the
attached Annual Permit Fee Invoices.
The wastewater treatment system should be periodically inspected to ensure the treatment
components are always maintained and in good operating order. You are also reminded to
maintain all monitoring data and associated maintenance records onsite for a minimum of
three years and available for inspection.
Within 30-days receipt of this letter, please submit a written response to this office indicating
the actions you will take or have taken to comply with or resolve the issues noted items 2, 3, 4,
5, 6, and 7 above.
If you have questions or comments about this inspection or the requirements to take corrective
action (if applicable), then please contact Kevin Fowler at 919-437-0047.
