The Division is required to inspect these types of systems at least every 5 years. An inspection summary follows. Site Review Grass was maintained, but the house did not appear to be occupied. The system consists of a septic tank, subsurface sand filter, chlorinator and outfall with final disposal to an unnamed tributary to Jacobs Creek, class C waters in the Roanoke River Basin. No sewage malfunction was observed at or around the septic tank. The inspector could not remove the chlorinator caps. Please be sure to check the chlorinators regularly and ensure they are stocked with tablets labeled for wastewater treatment. The outfall could not be located.The outfall should be inspected twice per year and kept visible.

We would like to remind you to conduct and document the following: - Effluent monitoring must be performed as required in the permit. - All system components must be maintained at all times and in good working order. - Inspect the septic tank and secondary tanks at least yearly to determine if solids must be removed. - Pump the septic tank every 5 years, or when the solids level is found to be more than 1/3 of the liquid depth in any compartment, whichever is greater. All tanks should be emptied of their contents whenever any of the tanks meet this requirement. - Contents removed from septic tanks shall be disposed of at a location and in a manner compliant with all local and state regulations.
