Dear Mr. Gutiemez:

Subject: Compliance Evaluation Inspection
Single Family Wastewater Treatment System
Permit No. NCG551574
Durham County
On May 22, 2019, 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:
® Other: The system is buried except for the chlorinator, dechlorinator and the outfall.
There were no signs of failure on the surface at the septic tank or sand filter. There were
tablets in the chlorinator, but they had swollen and gotten stuck. The tablets below had
dissolved away so the wastewater effluent was not being chlorinated or dechlorinated.
The tablets were pushed to the bottom by the inspector. To prevent this happening, add
fewer tablets at a time.
There were also chlorine tablets in the dechlorinator. Please add dechlorinator tablets to
the dechlorinator instead of chlorine tablets. Local sources of these tablets are listed on
the second page of the documents left at your house. The system was not discharging
effluent at the time of the inspection. The owner did not respond to the paperwork left at
the residence requesting that inspector be contacted to answer questions.
If you have questions or comments about this inspection or the requirements to take corrective
action, please contact Ray Milosh or me at 919-791 -4200. Licensed plumbers should be used to
