V. ADDITIONAL REGIONAL STAFF REVIEW ITEMS
An inspection was performed on 11/20/18 after failure to get in touch with owners via contact information that was in
BIMS. On the day of inspection there was a For Sale sign in the front Yard and the house did not appeared to be occupied
Knocked on the door to see if anyone was home there was no response The system consists of a septic tank
underground sand filter,chlorinator,pump tank and irrigation area. The tanks had concrete lids on them and were not
accessed. The chlorinator was checked but there did not appear to be any chlorine tablets present There was a test
button on the control panel and there was no alarm outside. It is unknown if the alarm is inside the house. The irrigation
area was well maintained,and there was no ponding or runoff. The three irrigation heads were operational and there was
a 2-strand fence around the irrigation area.
On 11/27/18 contacted the realtor(Kevin McGraw, 919-644-1600)to ask about this property. The owner had moved out
about 30 days ago and he is aware that a change of ownership will need to be submitted once the property is sold He
gave me Mr. Steve Mintods cell phone number, 919-306-4915 and said he would talk to him about putting chlorine
tablets into chlorinator.
Inspection letter will ask for the permittee to put in chlorine tablets in chlorinator.
Spoke to Mr.Minton and he has put tablets in the chlorinator.
Approximate location of irrigation area is: 35.965347, -79.107853
