Subj ect: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Single Family Wastewater Treatment System at
8815 Allison Rd., Cedar Grove, NC 27231
Permit No. NCG550234
Orange County
The subject residence is served by a discharging sandfilter waste treatment system. This type of system is
permitted by the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ). NCDEQ records indicate
William A. Rucker is the owner however; Orange County tax records list the above Trustee and Trust as
the owners of the subject property. Please fill out the attached Name Ownership Change form and mail it
to the address listed on the back of page 2 of the form within 30 days receipt of this letter.
On January 22, 2018, Mitch Hayes from the Raleigh Regional Office visited the subject single-family
residence (SFR) wastewater treatment system to evaluate compliance with the above permit to discharge
wastewater. The checked boxes below show what conditions were noted at your facility:
❑ In compliance: You are reminded to regularly maintain the chlorine disinfection and
dechlorination systems, have the effluent sampled once a year, and have the septic tank pumped
out every 3 to 5 years. Your good record of operation and meeting the permit requirements is highly
commended.
❑ Your home is improperly plumbed: Some of the wastewater discharges are going directly to
the environment without first passing through the treatment system. This must be corrected
immediately. Please submit a schedule to this office within 30 days of receipt of this letter that
states your plan for correcting this deficiency. The work is to be completed within the next 3
months.
❑ Disinfection: Your system is lacking disinfection, either chlorine tablets or a UV light system.
New rules put into place on August 1, 2007 require all SFR systems to have a means of disinfection
(and dechlorination when chlorine tablets are used to disinfect, if the system was installed since
that date). Since your system had no disinfection, the installation is to include a chlorine tablet
dispenser, a contact chamber capable of providing a minimum 30 -minute contact time, and another
tablet dispenser that will hold dechlorination tablets. Please submit a schedule to this office within
20 calendar days of receipt of this letter that states your plan for correcting this deficiency.
❑ Treatment tablets missing or are wrong kind: You are responsible for always having chlorine
tablets and dechlorination tablets (if a required part of your system) in place. They must be the kind
for wastewater treatment
