Single Family Wastewater Treatment System
Permit No. NCG550274
581 Hideaway Lane
Person County
Dear Mr. Hirt,
On June 12, 2018, Rick Trone and Zach Thomas from the Raleigh Regional Office visited your 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.
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 and not for swimming pools.
I I Dechlorination: Your system was installed after August 1, 2007, so must have a means of
dechlorination located downstream of the chlorinator and its contact chamber. See Disinfection
paragraph above.
Pumping the septic tank: The septic tank should be pumped out every 3 to 5 years. A pumping
company can check the status periodically and determine when pumping is required.
