Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Single Family Wastewater Treatment System
Permit No. NCG551321
Orange County
On December 6, 2018, Ray Milosh from the Raleigh Regional Office visited your single-family
residence (SFR) wastewater treatment system 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.
❑ 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 correctinP 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
❑ 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.
