Wastewater Treatment and
Surface Irrigation System
Chowan County
Dear Ms. Knighton:
In accordance with your renewal request received November 22, 2004, and subsequent additional
information received August 15, 2005, we are forwarding herewith Permit No. WQ0004332, dated
December 27, 2005, to the Town of Edenton for the continued operation of the subject wastewater
treatment and surface irrigation facilities.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until November 30, 2010, shall void
Permit No. WQ0004332 issued February 2, 2001, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as
specified therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements in this permit. Failure to
establish an adequate system for collecting and maintaining the required operational information will
result in future compliance problems.
Please note that the Division has significant concerns with the findings provided by Scott
Frederick, LSS, regarding the soil evaluation and water balance. Mr. Frederick's report stated
that the soils are capable of receiving more flow than permitted, however, the permitted soils
already have ponding and runoff violations. The Division advises the Town of Edenton to conduct
a thorough investigation of the relationship between the irrigation rates, provided storage,
irrigation system design, hydrogeological conditions (i.e., water table mounding) and soils.
Although this is not a permit condition, the Division strongly encourages the Town of Edenton to
address this issue, as it is the Town's responsibility to maintain compliance with all permit
conditions.
Please pay particular attention to Condition IV(1). This condition requires that a scaled
topographic map be submitted within 180 days of permit issuance. Failure to provide this map in the
allotted time shall result in a Notice of Violation, and non-compliance with this permit.
If any parts, requirements, or limitations contained in this permit are unacceptable, you have the
right to request an adjudicatory hearing upon written request within thirty (30) days following receipt of
this permit. This request must be in the form of a written petition, conforming to Chapter 150B of the
North Carolina General Statutes, and filed with the Office of Administrative Hearings, 6714 Mail Service
Center, Raleigh, NC 27699-6714. Unless such demands are made this permit shall be final and binding.
