REGAN Seevelary LINDA CULPEPPER Interim Drrec for Dr. Jerrold Levy and Maria Arias 206 Constance Spry Way Durham NC 27713-8278 Dear Dr. Levy and Ms. Arias, NORTH CAROLINA Environmental Quality July 11, 2019 Subject: Permit No. WQ0019544 206 Constance Spry Way SFR Wastewater Irrigation System Chatham County On February 1, 2019, Joan Schneier of the NC Division of Water Resources, Water Quality Regional Operations Section conducted a compliance inspection in support of permit renewal. We would like to thank Jonathan Handley and Jeff Cranmer from AQWA, Inc for assistance during the inspection. On the date inspected, all components were working or fixed but the system was non -compliant due to a fence in need of repair. Sludge levels were low to moderate in all tanks (below 8 inches). The high water alarms and W disinfection were working. The field had been cleared of vegetation since the last AQWA inspection in December. Two substantial leaks in the drip lines were fixed by AQWA during the inspection. One was probably caused by a sharp tool during the vegetation removal. The fence was down in multiple places. Also, please see the attached inspection report. If it has not been done already, please have the fence fixed within 30 days and notify me when complete. Thank you. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via email atjoan.schneier@ncdenr.gov or at (919) 791-4234.
