PART IV - EVALUATION AND RECOMMENDATIONS
An existing septic tank system serves the Ocean Isle Beach
Solid Waste Transfer Station. The operator comfort station was
recently torn down so that a new structure could be built. A
building permit can not be obtained without a letter of approval
for the wastewater treatment system. The system was built in
1981 by authorization of a Health Department Permit.
Responsibility for permitting this system now falls with this
Department.
A permit application has been submitted and plans have been
prepared. A site inspection revealed no evidence of failure in
the form of surface breakout. The system is to serve one
employee. Also, the underside of the container and the slab are
hosed down once per week. No liquid from the containers enters
the system. The inside of the container is not cleaned.
The Groundwater section has determined that
should have a low probability of adverse impact
Quality. A permit has been prepared.
