Permit No. NCG551074 Permitting Section
Durham County
Dear Ms. Dale:
On September 24, 2018, Cheng Zhang from the Raleigh Regional Office visited the single-family
residence (SFR) wastewater treatment system at 1303 Goodwin Road in Durham County to evaluate
compliance with the above permit to discharge wastewater. The checked boxes below show what
conditions were noted at your facility:
In compliance: You are reminded to regularly maintain the chlorine disinfection and
dechlorination 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.
n 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 your plan for correcting this deficiency. The work is to be completed within the next 3
months.
Disinfection: Your system is lacking disinfection, either chlorine tablets or a UV light
system. New rules put into place on August 1, 2007 require all SFR systems to have a means of
disinfection (and dechlorination when chlorine tablets are used to disinfect, if the system was
installed since that date). Since your system had no disinfection, the installation is to include a
chlorine tablet dispenser, a contact chamber capable of providing a minimum 30 minute contact
time, and another tablet dispenser that will hold dechlorination tablets. Please submit a schedule
to this office within 20 calendar days of receipt of this letter that states your plan for correcting
this deficiency.
[XI Treatment tablets missing or are wrong kind: You are responsible for always having
chlorine tablets and dechlorination tablets (if a required part of your system) in place. They must
be the kind for wastewater treatment and not for swimming pools.

Permit No NCG551074
I 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 days of receipt of
this letter stating your plan for correcting this deficiency.
n Pumping the septic tank: The septic tank should be pumped out every 3 to 5 years. A
pumping company can check the status periodically and determine when pumping is required.
Failure to analyze the effluent: The effluent that is discharged from your system must be
analyzed once each year. See Part I (A) of your penult about his requirement. A list of NC
certified laboratories that provide this service was left at your residence during the inspection.
Make arrangements for sampling to be carried out within the next 3 months, and submit results
to this office within 3 weeks after the sampling has been done.
Locations of treatment units are unknown: Determine this and report to this office within
30 days of receipt of this letter with a sketch or map.
Other: Please complete the Change of Ownership Form and submit it to the Division
within 30 days of receipt of this letter.
If you have questions or comments about this inspection or the requirements to take corrective action,
please contact Clieng Zhang or me at 919-791-4200. Licensed plumbers should be used to make
plumbing changes within your home. Contractors for installing disinfection or other equipment may be
found in the Yellow Pages under Environmental Consultants.
Sincerely
