SUBJECT: Compliance Evaluation Inspection Report
Certificate of Coverage NCG560332 under'NPDES General Permit NCG660000
Facility Located at 6910 Twin Meadows Drive, Forsyth County
Dear Mr. Wagner:
On March 25, 2019 Paul DiMatteo of this office met with Tannia Wagner to conduct a Compliance
Evaluation Inspection on the subject wastewater treatment facility.
The system consists of a septic tank, subsurface sand filter, chlorinator and outfall with final disposal to
an unnamed tributary to Tomahawk Creek, class C waters in the Yadkin Pee -pee River Basin. No sewage
malfunction was observed at or around the septic tank. Discharge at the outfall appeared clear with no
observable impact to the receiving stream. Chlorine tablets rated for wastewater treatment were available and
you stated that you change the chlorine tablets about every other month. Annual effluent monitoring is conducted
as required.
The General Permit was renewed effective October 23, 2018. A copy of the most recent Technical Bulletin
is enclosed. A copy of the General Permit is available by searching - on our website (
https://deg.nc.gov/about/divisions/water-resources ) or can be obtained by contacting the inspector. You will be
contacted by the Division through separate correspondence regarding the status of renewal for your Certificate
of Coverage. Please review these documents carefully.
We appreciate your efforts to maintain compliance with this permit. If you should have any questions,
please do not hesitate to contact Paul DiMatteo at 336-776-9691 or our office at 336-776-9800.
Sincerely,

Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional �s Iheets of narrative and checklists as necessary)
On March 27, 2019 1 visited this system's address and met with the current resident and was able to
speak with the owner. Mr. Wagner said that he has been doing yearly monitoring,as required and
emailed copies of results for 2016 and 2017 (he said he couldn't find the results for 2018 but he did get
it done). He said he checks the chlorinator about every 2 months and replaces the tablets in it. He said
he found that keeping fresh tablets in the chlorinator helps maintain better effluent quality.
The effluent pipe was readily located and discharge was clear. No impact to the receiving stream was
noted.
