8. Noncompliance Notification:
The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Wilmington Regional Office, telephone number (9 10)
395-3900, as soon as possible, but in no case more than 24 hours or on the next working day
following the occurrence or first knowledge of the occurrence of any of the following:
a. Any occurrence at the wastewater treatment facility which results in the treatment of significant
amounts of wastes which are abnormal in quantity or characteristic, such as the dumping of the
contents of a sludge digester; the known passage of a slug of hazardous substance through the
facility; or any other unusual circumstances.
b. Any process unit failure, due to known or unknown reasons, that render the facility incapable of
adequate wastewater treatment such as mechanical or electrical failures of pumps, aerators,
compressors, etc.
c. Any failure of a pumping station, sewer line, or treatment facility resulting in a by-pass directly to
receiving waters without treatment of all or any portion of the influent to such station or facility.
d. Any time that self-monitoring information indicates that the facility has gone out of compliance
with its permit limitations.
Occurrences outside normal business hours may also be reported to the Division's Emergency
Response personnel at telephone number (800) 662-795£, (800) 858-0368, or (919) 733-3300.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in letter form within
five (5) days following first knowledge of the occurrence. This report must outline the actions taken
or proposed to be taken to ensure that the problem does not recur.
IV. GROUNDWATER REQUIREMENTS
Monitor wells (MW -3, MW -4, MW -7 and MW -8) shall be every July and November for the
parameters listed below. Prior to sampling the parameters, the measurement of water levels must be
taken. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the
casing_ The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed relative to
a common datum.
Nitrate (NO3-N) Total Ammonia (NH3-N)
Chloride Total Dissolved Solids (TDS)
Fecal Coliform Total Organic Carbon (TOC)
PH Water Level
Total Phosphorous
2. For Total Organic Carbon (TOC), if concentrations greater than 10 mg/l are detected in any down -
gradient 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/l, this concentration will be taken to represent the
naturally occurring TOC concentration. Any exceedances of this naturally occurring TOC
concentration in the down -gradient wells shall be subject to the additional sampling and analysis as
described above.
