The checked boxes below show what conditions were noted at your facility: ® In compliance: You are reminded to regularly maintain the chlorine disinfection and dechlornation 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 20 days of receipt of this letter that states vour Dlan for correcting this deficienev. The work is to be completed within the next 3 months. ❑ Chlorine tablets in the chlorinator: You are reminded that it is required that chlorine tablets be maintained in the chlorinator to ensure proper disinfection of the discharged wastewater. Chlorine tablets provide effective disinfection and prevent/limit harmful bacteria from discharging to the environment. The product label for these tablets must indicate the tablets are approved for wastewater use and not for swimming spools. The inspector did not observe any chlorine tablets in the chlorinators. Part 1, Permit Conditions (Operation & iWaintenance), item 4 within General Permit NCG550000 requires the penmittee to maintain all system components, including... disinfection units... at all times and in good operating order. Please ensure the correct type of tablets are used and maintained in the chlorinator. ❑ 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. Please submit a schedule to this office within 20 calendar clays of receipt of this letter stating your plan for correcting this deficiency. ❑ Pumping the septic tank: You are required to inspect the septic tank at least yearly to determine if solids must be removed or if other maintenance is necessary. Septic tanks should be pumped out every five years or when the solids level is found to be more than 1/3 of the liquid depth in the septic tank compartment. A pumping company can check the status periodically and <,.=� Nothirdg Con, pares:. ,.,,_.
