Clifton and Seal: On September 28, 2017, Paul DiMatteo of the Division of Water Resources ("Division"), Winston-Salem Regional Office conducted a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the above referenced wastewater treatment system. The Division is required to inspect these types of systems at least every 5 years. An inspection summary follows and an inspection report is attached for your records. Site Review The system consists of a septic tank,"subsurface sand filter, chlorinator, and outfall, with final disposal to Quaqua Creek. No sewage malfunction was observed at or around the septic tank. Chlorine appeared to be present in the chlorinator.The outfall was unable to be located during the inspection—the resident pointed to an area that was overgrown with vines whereas Ms. Clifton said that the outfall line went to the creek further down the road. Both Ms. Clifton and the resident said that the outfall was observed occasionally and that water discharges from it; however, Ms. Clifton said that no annual monitoring has been conducted to date. Please note that annual effluent monitoring is required as stated in Part LA of the Permit. Additionally, the chlorinator should also be checked weekly to ensure an adequate supply of chlorine disinfection tablets. Tablets should only be used if they are labeled for wastewater disinfection; do not use tablets that are labeled for pool disinfection.
