    Complaint Description and Writeup

    To who it may concern,

    I’m the pictures below show the septic system at Southall Farms in Franklin, TN. I was told and have witnessed water coming from the septic and into Carters Creek. Southall Farms has told and made this out to be a water feature, as they call it.

    JMF investigated on 8-4-22. Area of septic system is a pump station that collects waste from part of the property and sends it to the on site, permitted treatment facility. The gravel had been covered with soil. A groundwater observation well was in place and appeared dry. The "water feature" appeared to be a stormwater outfall. There was no evidence of sewage leaving or having left the property through this or any other location. The treatment system was inspected, all pump stations observed, and numerous stormwater outfalls and lengths of stream were observed.
