On -larch 21, 20I9, Cheng Zhang from the Raleigh Regional Office visited the single-family
residence (SFR) wastewater treatment system at 100 Briar Patch Ln. in Chatham County to
evaluate compliance with the above permit to discharge N\ astewater. Tile checked bores 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 wastekvater 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 at
means of disinfection (and dechlorination «Ohen 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 A,* rong 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,
❑ 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.
❑ 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 deten-nine-when pumping is
required.
M Failure to analyze the effluent: The effluent that is discharged from your system
must be analvzed once each year. See Part I (A) of your pen -nit about Ills requirement. A
list of NC certified laboratories that pro%ide this service was left at your residence during.:
the inspection, %-lake 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 unkno�ti n: Determine this and report to this office

action, please contact Cheng Zhan�_ or me at 919-791-4200. Licensed plumbers should be used
