Dear Mr. Ramos:
On September 19, 2018, Paul DiMatteo of this office met with you to perform a Compliance Evaluation
Inspection on the subject wastewater treatment facility. The Division is required to inspect these types of systems
at least every 5 years. An inspection summary follows.
Site Review
The system consists of a septic tank, subsurface sand filter,and outfall with final disposal to Marys Creek,
class WS-V, NSW waters in the Cape Fear River Basin. No sewage malfunction was observed at or around the
septic tank. There was no discharge at the outfall. According to our records, there is no chlorination unit on this
system due to its age.
Documentation & Monitoring Review
A review of documentation was not conducted at the time of inspection. 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.
- Inspect the outfall location at least twice per year to ensure that no visible solids or other obvious
evidence of system malfunctioning is observed.
