`a <br />nitrification field for the camp's pool bath house. <br />sanitarians from the Environmental Health Section of the <br />Orange County Health Department were asked by camp staff to <br />inspect the septic tank system for the camp dining hall. <br />The camp staff indicated that the system had given trouble <br />the previous summer and was again showing signs of system <br />malfunction. Upon investigation, the County sanitarian <br />determined that the conventional septic system serving the <br />camp dining hall has failed as was evidenced by liquid <br />septage surfacing in the nitrification field. Camp New <br />Hope was directed to have the system repaired prior to the <br />opening of camp or the use of the dining facility for the <br />1991 season. The County Health Department's Environmental <br />Health Section has been working with the Camp staff and the <br />Camp's consulting engineers to effect the necessary repairs <br />to the system. The Environmental Health Section staff and <br />engineers from the NC Division of Health Services will <br />continue to work closely with the staff, administration, <br />and consulting engineers for Camp New Hope as requested and <br />as required to remedy the problems prior to the opening of <br />the camp for the 1991 season. <br />
