RE: Henry and Marilyn Greene Property/ 41 Pintail Drive/ Tax Map: A24-90
Dear Mr. Duncan:
On February 27th, you requested approval from the Person County Environmental Health Section to
build an addition on the home/property referenced above. Justin Smith, Person County Environmental
Health Specialist, evaluated the property on March 9th, and determined that a portion of the proposed
addition would encroach on the existing septic system. A site evaluation was conducted to determine if
the compromised portion of the system could be relocated. Unfortunately, based on Mr. Smith's
evaluation, the soil characteristics observed would not permit the system to be relocated, or repaired
should the system fail.
On April9th, I visited the property to conduct a second evaluation. The property was again evaluated in
accordance North Carolina `Laws and Rules or Sewage Ti�eatment and Disposal S sty ems' (15A
NCAC 18A .1900). Based on my evaluation the property would be classified as `Unsuitable' for the
installation, modification, or repair of a septic system due to:
(Rule .1941) Soil Morphology (angular blocky structure/ mixed mineralogy)
(Rule .1942) Soil Wetness (<19")
(Rule .1943) Soil Depth (<22" to rock)
Due to soil characteristics, there is no area on the property to replace or expand the existing septic
system with any confidence that it would function properly. The existing system is 30 years old and
wltile not teclinically failing (surfacing), the efficiency of the system is questionab[e and failure is
imminent, especially if t/ze liome receives more tlzan occasional use. Should the system fail, the only
repair options available are:
1) Obtain additional suitable property for an off-site system.
2) Request a permit to permanently pump and haul wastewater.
3) Request a surface discharge permit from the Division of Water Quality, DENR (919-791-
4200).
phone 336.597.1790
fax 336.597.7808
325 South Morgan Street, Suite C, Roxboro, NC 27573
You may request an informal review of our decision by a NC DENR Regional Soil Scientist. Request
forms are available at the Environmental Health office. You may also wish to hire a consulting soil
scientist or engineer to propose either a modification or relocation of the existing system. Proposals are
still subject to review and approval by the Health Department and must demonstrate that wastewater
system will function properly. In addition, you can file a formal appeal our decision with the Office of
Administrative Hearings. The purpose of an administrative hearing is to determine if applicable laws
and rules were properly followed. Applications are available at the Environmental Health office.
Please let us know if you have any questions (336-597-1790).
Sincerely,
i`��
