and groundwaters.
6. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take suchh immediate corrective action as may be

excluding State Holidays.
8. Any monitoring deemed necessary by the Division of Environmental Management to
insure surface and groundwater protection will be established and an acceptable sampling
reporting schedule shall be followed.

General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approvable by the North Carolina Division of
Environmental Management.
10. Reports on the operations of the facilities shall be submitted to the Raleigh

Total Dissolved Solids Orthophosphate
Sulfate Total Organic Halides (TOX-in Nov.only)
Total Organic Carbon(TOC) pH
Water Level *
*The measurement of water level must be made prior to sampling for the remaining
parameters.
If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg J 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 / 1, this concentration will be taken to
represent the naturally occuring TOC concentration. Any exceedance of this naturally
occuring TQC concentration in the downgradient wells shall be subject to the additional
sampling and analysis as described above.
The analytical methods used for TOX must be capable of detecting the total of all halogenated
organic compounds present at a concentration of 5.0 parts per billion or greater. In the event
that a TOX concentration of 5.0 parts per billion or greater is detected, any individual
halogenated organic compound(s) present at a concentration at or above the method detection
limit must be identified and quantified utilizing EPA methods 601, 602, 604, and 611.
The results of the sampling and analysis shall be sent to the N. C. Division of Environmental
Management on Form GW -59 (Compliance Monitoring Report Form) every April, August,

Permittee, of property which is within or contiguous to the disposal system site, may alter
the location of the Perimeter of Compliance.

established at the lesser of 250 feet from the edge of the disposal field, or 50 feet within the
property boundary.
22. To the maximum extent possible, runoff from the upgradient parking lot should be diverted
away from the disposal field.
