Dear Ms. Neira:
A Compliance Sampling Inspection was conducted on October 23, 2012 by Kathy
Jimison and me of the Asheville Regional Office. The facility appeared to be in
compliance with permit NCG550251. However, it was noted in our database that the
annual fee for this permit is overdue. In order for this permit to stay active and be
considered for renewal the annual fee must be submitted. Enclosed is the inspection
report; please review it for additional observations and comments. If you have any
questions, please call me at 828-296-4500.
Sincerely,
•

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments(Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
Ms. Neira is the only person living in the house. She had the septic tank pumped last year. It is unlikely that
this system will discharge given the current conditions.
Ms. Neira was present for the inspection and had done some laundry and carpet cleaning on the day of the
inspection. There was a slight flow from the effluent pipe that was believed to be predominantly
groundwater. It was sampled for Fecal Coliform and Total Suspended Solids (TSS).
The sample result for Fecal Coliform was 8 col/100m1 and TSS was 6.2 U mg/I (U:non-detect). Hence, this
discharge is likely groundwater; if it is effluent it is compliant.
The chlorine contact system is partially intact; the chlorine contact box is in place under a large rock, but
there are not any tablet chambers. There were several salamanders at the discharge pipe area. Given the
sample results and the aquatic life present, the lack of a complete/operating chlorine system is not a
concern at this time.
