Dear Mr. and Mrs. Kapp,

Waf�r Ra&ou►ie,
P"It,ing Section
On March 19, 2019 Kelli Park, of this office, performed a Compliance Evaluation Inspection of the
wastewater treatment system located at the above address. The State requires the Division of.
Water Resources to inspect these types of systems at least once every five years. The violations
found from the inspection are outlined below:
1) The permit requires that the septic tank contents be pumped out every 3-5 years to prevent
solids from clogging the sand filter system. Mrs. Kapp reported that the system has not
been pumped in over 5 years. Please keep records of septic tank pumping on hand as a
historical record and proof that you had the tank pumped. Please get it pumped as soon _
as possible.
2) The effluent pipe could not be located. It is a permit requirement to know where the effluent
pipe is, as well as maintaining the area around it so that it is visible. Please locate the pipe
as soon as possible.
3) The effluent water has not been consistently tested by a laboratory since the location of
the pipe is unknown. Water samples from the effluent are required to be analyzed at least
once a year by a certified laboratory. These records are required to be maintained and
should be shared with NCDEQ upon request. A copy, of the permit monitoring
requirements and a list of certified laboratories was given to Mrs. Kapp the day of
inspection.
Failure to properly operate and maintain the system can result in expensive repair costs as well
as failure of the system to properly treat the wastewater. if you have any questions regarding
maintenance, operations, the permit, or this inspection do not hesitate to call us.
Please keep this letter with your records for the system along with copies of invoices from the
Division for the annual permit fee, the Certificate of Coverage, records of septic tank pumping,
maintenance and repair records, etc.

Please be aware that violations of your NPDES permit., or the NC statutes and regulations under
which it is promulgated, are subject to fines of up to $25,000 per day, per violation, as set forth in
NC General Statute (NCGS) 143-215.6A, Enforcement Procedures, Civil Penalties.
Please contact Miss Park at (336)-776-9689 or [e-mail] if you have any further
questions.
Sincerely,
