Hi Kevin,
I've reviewed the PER and there are just a few things that need to be addressed:
1. You inventoried septic systems as a controlled PCS and cited regulation as the control strategy referencing them being built to code and maintained. However, the
Division typically does not allow septic systems to be considered controlled because these systems release waste into the ground by design. Since a septic system is
going to release pollutants regardless of regulation or maintenance, it must be considered an uncontrolled PCS. Please reassess septic as uncontrolled.
2. It appears there is a vault toilet in zone 2, close to zone 1. Just to confirm, there are no septic laterals running through zone 1?
3. You mentioned that the vault toilets are pumped out annually. Could you please clarify where the waste is disposed of? If the septic system is utilized for disposal, does it
handle all waste from each vault toilet?
Thanks

Thanks Noah,
Not sure what I was thinking. I knew septic systems would be uncontrolled in a Zone 1 or 2, so why would I not think it was uncontrolled in a Zone 3? I will
make that change.

There are absolutely no sewage or septic lines associated with the vault toilet. Nor are any such lines from any source within Zone 1.

All wastewater pumped from our vault toilets is hauled off-site to a regulated sewage treatment facility by a licensed septage pumping contractor.

I will update the report accordingly early next week as I am on a deadline for another project due Monday. I do appreciate the prompt review.
