NCG550025 I11 121 19/09/18 117 18 JCJ Section D: Summary of Finding/Comments (Attach additional sheets of narrative and checklists as necessary) The Inspector, Linda Wiggs, met with Mr. Larry Burleson. The system has only been used 11 years since installation in the early 1990's. System is currently inactive; it has not been used the last in 8 years. The system was installed for the single wide trailer adjacent to the main house. Being underutilized the septic tank has not needed pumping. The chlorination components (tablet dispenser/tank and contact chamber) and the de -chlorination components (tablet dispenser/tank and step aerator) were all observed during the inspection and found to be in good shape. The effluent pipe (white pvc) is across the street and was found to be in good shape as well.
