Secretary
Subject: Permit No. WQ0002994
Carolina Lakes WWTF
Wastewater Irrigation System
Harriett County
In accordance with your permit renewal request received January 15, 2015, we are forwarding
herewith Permit No. WQ0002994 dated April 9, 2015, to Harnett County Public Utilities for the
continued operation of the subject wastewater treatment and surface irrigation facilities so that the facility
can be effectively shut down.
This permit shall be effective from the date of issuance until February 28, 2018, shall void Permit
No. WQ0002994 issued May 9, 2005, and shall be subject to the conditions and limitations as specified
therein. Please pay particular attention to the monitoring requirements listed in Attachments A, B and C
for they differ from the previous permit issuance.
It is recognized that the spray irrigation fields are being closed out, and that the lagoons are being
transferred into another entity's wastewater treatment system. To provide the Permittee adequate time to
complete closing out the facility, this permit is being renewed for a period of two years. Once the
Permittee has closed out the spray irrigation fields and the lagoons have been transferred, the Permittee
shall seek to rescind this permit.
Please note the following permit conditions have been removed since the last permit
issuance dated May 9, 2005:
I. Condition IV.1 — MW-18 has been constructed and placed in operation. MW-2, MW-3,
MW-4, MW-6, MW-8 and MW-9 have already been temporarily abandoned. Hence, the
condition is no longer required.
2. Condition IV.3 — MW-18 has been constructed and placed in operation. Hence, the condition
is no longer required.
3. Condition IVA — There is a requirement of a one -foot vertical separation from the seasonal
high water table during design [15A NCAC 02T .0505(p)], which means there is a requirement
during operation.
4. Condition IV.5 — The liner requirement is part of the design requirements [15A NCAC 02T
.0505(f)] and thus not required in a permit for operation.
5. Condition 1V.7 — The additional groundwater quality monitoring is redundant as it was
covered in Condition III.1 of the 2005 permit and Condition IV.1 of this permit.

1. Annual monitoring shall be conducted in July.
2. The measurement of water levels shall be made prior to purging the wells. The depth to water in each well shall be measured from the surveyed point on the top of the casing. The measurement
of pH shall be made after purging and prior to sampling for the remaining parameters.
3. The measuring points (top of well casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed to provide the relative elevation of the teasuring point for each monitoring well. The measuring points (top
of casing) of all monitoring wells shall be surveyed rehitive to a common datum.
4. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) - In July only, analyze by one of the following methods:
a. Standard Method 6230D. PQL at 0,5 µg/L or less
b. Standard Method 621 OD, PQL at O.5 µg/L or less
c. EPA Method 8021. Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 pg/L or less
d. EPA Method 8260, Low Concentration, PQL at 0.5 µg/L or less
c. Another method with prior approN al by the Water Quality Permitting Section Chief
Any method used must meet the following qualifications:
a, A laboratory must be DWR certified to run any method used.
b. The method used must, at a minimum, include all the constituents listed in Table Vlll of Standard Method 6230D.

the PQL of 0.5 gg/l, must be qualified (estimated) and reported.
5. If any volatile organic compounds (VOC) are detected as a result of monitoring as provided in Attachment C, then the Fayetteville Regional Office supervisor, telephone number [phone],
must be contacted immediately for further instructions regarding any additional follow-up analyses required.
6. If TOC concentrations greater than 10 mg/L 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/L, this concentration will he 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.
