SPRAY IRRIGATION SYSTEM PERMIT
In accordance with the provisions of Article 21 of Chapter 143, General Statutes of North Carolina as
amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
Town of Angier
Harnett County
FOR THE
continued operation of a 258,000 GPD spray irrigation treatment and disposal facility consisting of 210 linear
feet of 12-inch gravity sewer, a 450 gpm pump station with dual 450 gpm pumps, approximately 620 linear
feet of 8-inch force main, flow metering, 'an 8 acre facultative lagoon with a natural clay liner having a
hydraulic conductivity of 1 x 10-6 cm/sec or less, chlorination facilities, dual 700 gpmirrigation pumps with
approximately 3,460 linear feet of 8-inch force main, a solid set spray irrigation system which includes 36,000
linear feet of piping on a 46 acre sprayfield, approximately 1,585 linear feet of 2.5 inch water line,
approximately 970 linear feet of 2-inch water line, and all associated piping, valves, controls, and
appurtenances to serve the Town of Angier, with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to the
application received September 25, 1998, and in conformity with the project plan, specifications, and other
supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources
and considered a part of this permit.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until November 30, 2003, shall void Permit No.
WQ0002638 issued September 14, 1994, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and
limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. The spray irrigation facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated at all times so that there
is no discharge to the surface waters, nor any contamination of ground waters which will render
them unsatisfactory for normal use. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily,
including the creation of nuisance conditions or failure of the irrigation area to adequately
assimilate the wastewater, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective actions including those
actions that may be required by the Division of Water Quality (Division), such as the construction
of additional or replacement wastewater treatment and disposal facilities.
2. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for damages to
surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
3. The residuals generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed in accordance with
General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the Division.
1

4. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.
5. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet between wetted area and any residence or places of public agsembly under separate
ownership,
b) 150 feet between wetted area and property lines,
c) 100 feet between wetted area and wells,
d) 100 feet between wetted area and drainageways or surface water bodies,
e). 50 feet between wetted area and public right of ways,
f) 100 feet between wastewater treatment units and wells, and
g) 50 feet between wastewater treatment units and property lines.
Some of the buffers specified above may not have been included in previous permits for this waste
treatment and disposal system. These buffers are not intended to prohibit or prevent
modifications, which are required by the Division, to improve performance of the existing
treatment facility. These buffers do, however, apply to modifications of the treatment and disposal
facilities which are for the purpose of increasing the flow that is tributary .to the facility. These
buffers do apply to any expansion or modification of the spray irrigation areas and apply in
instances in which the sale of property would cause any of the buffers now complied with, for the
treatment and disposal facilities, to be violated. The applicant is advised that any modifications to
the existing facilities will require a permit modification.
II. OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE REQUIREMENTS
1. The facilities shall be properly maintained and operated at all times.
2. Upon classification of the facility by the Water Pollution Control System Operators Certification
Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant
operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of thewastewater treatment facilities. The operator
must hold a certificate of the type and grade at least equivalent to or greater than the classification
assigned to the wastewater treatment facilities by the WPCSOCC. The Permittee must also
employ a certified back-up operator of the appropriate type and grade to comply with the
conditions of 15A NCAC 8A .0202. The ORC of the facility must visit each Class I facility at
least weekly and each Class II, III, and IV facility at least daily, excluding weekends and holidays,
and must properly manage and document daily operation and maintenance of the facility and must
comply with all other conditions of 15A NCAC 8A .0202.
3. A suitable year round vegetative cover of the sprayfield and appropriate treatment facility
locations shall be maintained.
4. Irrigation shall not be performed during inclement weather or when the ground is in. a condition
that will cause runoff.
5. Adequate measures shall be taken to prevent wastewater runoff from the spray field.
6. The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent
the discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this facility.
7. The application rate shall not exceed:
• For Norfolk soils, 113.88 inches per year at an instantaneous application rate not to allow any
runoff,
2

• For Norfolk eroded soils, 65.52 inches per year at an instantaneous application rate not to
allow any runoff, and
• For Norfolk wet soils, 52.0 inches per year at an instantaneous application rate not to allow
any runoff.
8. No type of wastewater other than that from the Town of Angier shall be sprayed onto the irrigation
area.
9. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation occurs or
while normal maintenance is being performed.
10. Public access to the land application sites shall be controlled during active site use. Such controls
may include the posting of signs showing the activities being conducted at each site.
11. Freeboard in the faclutative lagoon shall not be less than two feet at any time.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
1. Any monitoring (including groundwater, surface water, soil or plant tissue analyses) deemed
necessary by the Division to insure surface and ground water protection will be established and an
acceptable sampling reporting schedule shall be followed.
2. Adequate records shall be maintained by the Permittee tracking the amount of wastewater
disposed. These records shall include, but are not necessarily limited to, the following
information:
a. date of irrigation,
b. volume of wastewater irrigated,
c. field irrigated,
d. length of time field is irrigated,
e. continuous weekly, monthly, and year-to-date hydraulic (inches/acre) loadings for each field,
f. weather conditions, and
g maintenance of cover crops.
3. The effluent from the subject facilities shall be monitored by the Permittee at the point prior to
irrigation twice. per month (if irrigation occurs during the calendar month) for the following
parameters:
BOD5 • TSS
Fecal Coliform pH
NH3 as N
4. Three (3) copies of all operation and disposal records (as specified in condition III 2) on Form

July, and November for the following parameters:
Water Level
Ammonia -Nitrogen
Fecal Coliforms
pH
Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
Volatile Organic Compounds - In November only using one of the following:
(A) Standard Method 6230D, PQL at 0.5 ug/L or less
(B) Standard Method 6210D, PQL at 0.5 ug/L or less
(C) EPA Method 8021, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 ug/L or less
(D) EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 ug/L or less
(E) Another method with prior approval by the Groundwater Section Chief

The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to provide the
relative elevation of the measuring point for each monitoring well.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/1 are detected in any downgradient monitoring well,
additional sampling and analysis must be conducted to identify the individual constituents
comprising this TOC concentration. If the TOC concentration as measured in the background
monitor well exceeds 10 mg/I, this, concentration will be taken to represent the naturally occurring
TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC concentration in the
downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as described above.
