The State requires the Division of Water Resources to inspect these types of systems every five years. Miss Park and Ms. Graznak were unable to locate the chlorination tubes and effluent pipe. Please be aware that the permit requires that the chlorinator be adequately supplied with chlorine tablets for proper operation.Via a phone conversation Mr. Aiken reported that he adds chlorine tablets to the system every 3-4 months. The effluent being discharged in • the stream should also be checked to ensure that no solids are being discharged and that there are no impacts to the stream. The permit also requires that the septic tank contents be pumped out every 3-5 years to prevent solids from clogging the sand filter system. Via a phone conversation with Mr. Aiken it was noted that the system was pumped about 3.5 years ago. Please keep records of septic tank pumping on hand as a historical record and proof that you had the tank pumped. It is unknown when the effluent was most recently tested by a laboratory. Mr. Aiken reported that he has not seen any effluent coming out of the discharge pipe, and therefore has not sampled. Water samples from the effluent are required to be analyzed at least once a year by a certified laboratory. These records are required to be maintained and should be shared with NCDEQ upon request. A copy of the permit monitoring requirements is attached to this letter for reference of what should be monitored.
