pursuant to the application received May 27, 1999, 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 duly 31, 2004, shall void Permit No.
WQ0003437 issued March 7, 1995, and shall be subject to the following specified conditions and limitations:
I. PERFORMANCE STANDARDS
1. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of nuisance
conditions, 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 or disposal facilities.
2. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately assimilate the wastes and may be
rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in a manner which will
protect the assigned water quality standards of the surface waters and ground waters. The ponding
of wastewater on the surface of the distribution field when the dosing cycle commences shall be
considered as evidence of failure of the soils to adequately assimilate the wastewater.
Additionally, such failure shall be interpreted as a violation of this permit condition.

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.
4. Adequate measures shall be taken to divert stormwater from the high rate infiltration area and to
prevent wastewater runoff.
Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is prohibited.
6. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for darrtages to
surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.
7. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 400 feet between high rate infiltration unit and any habitable residence or place of public
assembly under separate ownership or which is to be sold,
b) 200 feet between high rate infiltration unit and any private or public water supply source and
any streams classified as WS or B,
c) 200 feet from mean high water between high rate infiltration unit and any "SA" or "SB"
classified surface waters,
d) 200 feet from normal high water between high rate infiltration unit and any other stream,
canal, marsh, or coastal waters,
e) 200 feet from normal high water between high rate infiltration unit and any Class I or Class II
impounded reservoir used as a source of drinking water,
f) 200 feet between high rate infiltration unit and any other lake or impoundment,
g) 200 feet between high rate infiltration unit and any Drainage systems (ditches, drains, surface
water diversions, etc.) and from any groundwater lowering and surface drainage ditches,
h) 100 feet between high rate infiltration unit and property lines,
i) 50 feet between treatment units and property lines, and
j) 50 feet between high rate infiltration unit and other treatment units and public right of ways.
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 high rate infiltration
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.
A usable green area shall be maintained for wastewater disposal. The green area shall have the
capability of accommodating the average daily flow of the facility being served without exceeding
the loading rates of the green area. A "green area", as defined in 15A NCAC 2H .0404 (g)(7), is
an area suitable for waste disposal, either in its natural state or which has been modified by
planting a vegetative cover of grasses or Iow growing shrubbery.
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 Operator Certification
Commission (WPCSOCC), the Permittee shall employ a certified wastewater treatment plant
operator to be in responsible charge (ORC) of the wastewater 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. The application rates for the high rate infiltration system shall not exceed 10 GPD/ft'.
4. The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system to prevent
the discharge of any wastewater outside of the high rate infiltration disposal area, which result
from the operation of this facility.
5. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while installation occurs or
while normal maintenance is being performed.
6. The rotary distribution fields shall be raked twice weekly with a two day separation, during the
months April through October and once a week during the months of November through March.
Additional raking may be required and should be performed, as necessary, by the operator
7. The screenings removed from the wastewater treatment plant shall be properly disposed in a
sanitary landfill or by other means which have been approved by this Division.
8. Vegetative growth must be kept out of the rotary distribution areas at all times. All vegetation
must be removed manually so that minimal disturbance will occur to the disposal area.
9. The application of chemicals to the distribution field(s) is expressly prohibited.
10. An automatically activated standby power source shall be on site and operational at all times. If a
generator is employed as an alternate power supply, it shall be tested weekly by interrupting the
primary power source.
11. The flow measurement device shall be calibrated annually by a representative of a firm that is
routinely engaged in the calibration of flow measurement devices. Records of this calibration,
including all information pertinent to the calibration, shall be available during any inspection by
Division staff.
12. The diffusers shall be removed from the aeration basin and serviced during the months of March,
July and October. Additional servicing may be required, and should be performed as necessary by
the operator. Records of this maintenance shall be maintained by the permittee.

4004 DEFINITIONS
The following delirihions shall apply throughout this Subchapter.
(i) Aclivaled Carbon Beds, A physlcal/chemical method for reducing soluble organic malortal from wastewater effluent; The column -type beds used in this
method will have a flow rate varying from two to eight.gallons per minute per square foot and may be either upflow or downflow carbon beds, Carbon may or
may not be regenerated on the waslewaler treatment plant site;
(2) Aerated Lagoons. A basin in which all solids are maintained In suspension and by which biological oxidation or organic matter Is reduced through artificially
accelerated transfer of oxygen on a flow -through basis;
(3) Aerallort A process of bringing about intimate contact between air or high purity oxygen In a liquid by spraying, agitation or d1flusfon;(3a) Extended
Aeration. Art aclivkied sludge process utilizing a minimum hydraulic detention time of 18 hours.
(4) Agriculturally managed site. Any rite on which a crop is produced, managed, and harvested (Crop Includes grasses, grains, trees, etc.);
(5) Air Stripping. A process by which the ammonium Ion Is first convened to dissolved ammonia (pH adjustment) with the ammonia then released to the
atmosphere by physical means; or other similar processes which remove petroleum products such as benzene, toluene, and xyiene;
(6) Carbon RegeneratlorL The regeneration of exhausted carbon by the use of a furnace to provide extremely high temperatures which volatilize and oxidize the
absorbed [mpuritiea;
(7) Carbonaceous Stage, A stage of wastewater treatment designed to achieve 'secondary- effluent limits;
18) Centrifuge. A mechanical device in which centrifugal force Is used to separate solids from liquids or to separate liquids of different densi;tas;
Chemical Addition Systems- The addition of chemlcal(s) to wasdowaler of an application point for purposes of Improving solids removal, pH adjustment,
alinily control, etc.; the capability to experlmert with different chemicals and different application points to achieve a specific result will be considered one
stem; the capability to add chemical(s) to dual units will be rated as one system; capability to add a chemical at a different application points for different
purposes will result In the systems being rated as separate systems;
(10) Chemical Sludge Conditloning. The addition of a chemical compound such as lime, ferric chloride, or a polymer to wet sludge to coalesce the mass prior to
Rs apptfcation to a dewatering device;
(11) Closed Cyc)e Systems. Use of holding ponds or holding tanks for containment of wastewater containing Inorganic, non -toxic materials from sand, gravel,
crushed stone or other similar operations. Such systems shall carry a maximum of two points regardless of pumping facilities or any other appurtenances;
(12) Combined Removal of Carbonaceous BOO and Nitrogenous Removal by Nitrification- A single stage system required to achieve permit effluent 1'rrnhs on BOO
and ammonia nitrogen within the same biological reactor;
(13) Dechlorinatlon. The partial or complete reduction of residual chlorine in a liquid by any chemical or physical process;
(14) Denl[rii-ication Process. The conversion of nhrate-nitrogen to nitrogen gas;
