Dear Mr. Palletta,
On October 9, 2018 Kelli Park, of this office, conducted a compliance evaluation
inspection of the wastewater treatment system located at the above address. The State
requires the Division of Water Resources to inspect these types of systems every five
years.
Miss Park was able to locate the effluent discharge pipe. It is a white PVC pipe located to
the right of the driveway, nearby the drainage ditch that it flows into. There was no odor
or noticeable impacts to the stream. Effluent being discharged in the stream should be
checked periodically to ensure that no solids are being discharged and that there are no
impacts to the stream.
Ultraviolet lights are used to disinfect the wastewater before reaching the stream.
Residual chlorine monitoring is not required for this system. A light was replaced in
September of 2017 during the yearly inspection you have done to the system through
Water Management of North Carolina. While the lights are checked during the inspection,
it is strongly recommended that the lights be periodically checked throughout the year to
ensure that they are functioning properly.
The permit also requires that the septic tank contents be pumped out every 3-5 years to
prevent solids from clogging the sand filter system. Per a phone conversation with Miss
Park the system was pumped last in 2015. The system is due to be pumped. Please get
the system pumped again soon, and keep records of septic tank pumping on hand as a
historical record and proof that you had the tank pumped.
