Carolina as amended, and other applicable Laws, Rules, and Regulations
PERMISSION IS HEREBY GRANTED TO
County of Cleveland
Cleveland County
FOR THE
construction and operation of a 100 GPD subsurface wastewater disposal system consisting of a
1,000 gallon septic tank, a distribution box, two 50 foot by 3 foot nitrification trenches, and
associated piping, valves and appurtenances to serve Cleveland County manned solid
waste/recycle site # 5 (Lawndale) with no discharge of wastes to the surface waters, pursuant to
the application received August 9, 1991 and in conformity with the project plan, specifications,
and other supporting data subsequently filed and approved by the Department of Environment,

permitted facility has been installed in accordance with this permit, the approved
plans and specifications. Mail the Certification to the Permits and Engineering
Unit, P.O. Box 29535, Raleigh, NC 27626-0535.
2. The Mooresville Regional Office, phone no. 704/ 663-1699, shall be notified at
least forty-eight (48) hours in advance of backfilling of the installed facilities so

Monday through Friday, excluding State Holidays.
3. In the event that the facilities fail to perform satisfactorily, including the creation of
nuisance conditions, the Permittee shall take immediate corrective action, including
those as may be required by this Division, such as construction of additional or
replacement wastewater treatment or disposal facilities.
4. The issuance of this permit shall not relieve the Permittee of the responsibility for
damages to surface or groundwaters resulting from the operation of this facility.

5. This permit shall become voidable if the soils fail to adequately absorb 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and may be rescinded unless the facilities are installed, maintained, and operated in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.
b. Adequate measures shall be taken to divert stormwater from the disposal area and
prevent wastewater runoff from the subsurface disposal field.
7. The sludge generated from these treatment facilities must be disposed of in
accordance with General Statute 143-215.1 and in a manner approved by the North
Carolina Division of Environmental Management.
A usable reserve area shall be maintained for wastewater disposal. The reserve area
shall have the capability of accommodating the average daily flow of the facility
being served without exceeding the loading rates of the reserve area while meeting
all required buffer requirements.
9. Diversion or bypassing of the untreated wastewater from the treatment facilities is
prohibited.
10. The following buffers shall be maintained:
a) 100 feet between disposal area and any public or private water supply including
wells
b) 100 feet between disposal area and "SA and SB" classified surface waters
c) 50 feet between disposal area and any stream, lake, river or natural drainageway
d) 50 feet between disposal area and property lines
e) 10 feet between disposal area and surface water interceptor drains or diversions
(upslope)
f) 25 feet between disposal area and surface water interceptor drains or diversions
(downslope) and groundwater drainage systems.
11. A leakage test shall be performed on the septic tank and dosing tank to insure that
any exfiltration occurs at a rate which does not exceed twenty (20) gallons per
twenty-four (24) hour per 1,000 gallons of tank capacity. The engineer's
certification will serve as proof of compliance with this condition.
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 Certification Commission, the Permittee
shall employ a certified waster treatment plant operator to be in responsible charge
of the wastewater treatment facilities. The operator must hold a certificate of the
type and grade at least equivalent to the classification assigned to the wastewater
treatment facilities by the Certification Commission. Once the facility is classified,
the Permittee must submit a letter to the Certification Commission which designates
the operator in responsible charge within thirty days after the wastewater treatment
facilities are 50% complete.
3. The application rates to the disposal field shall not exceed 0.4 Gallons/ day/ square
foot.
4. The facilities shall be effectively maintained and operated as a non -discharge system
to prevent the discharge of any wastewater resulting from the operation of this
facility.
F

5. No traffic or equipment shall be allowed on the disposal area except while
installation occurs or while normal maintenance is being performed.
III. MONITORING AND REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
Any monitoring deemed necessary by the Division of Environmental Management
to insure surface and ground water protection will be established and an acceptable
sampling reporting schedule shall be followed.
If Groundwater sampling indicates or predicts problems with the compliance with
Groundwater Standards, this permit will be modified to include additional and/or
more restrictive limitations.
2. A record shall be maintained of all residuals removed from this facility. This record
shall include the name of the hauler, permit authorizing the disposal or a letter from
a municipality agreeing to accept the residuals, date the residuals were hauled, and
volume of residuals removed.

The Permittee shall report by telephone to the Mooresville Regional Office,
telephone no. 704/ 663-1699, 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 basin or tank; 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 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.
Persons reporting such occurrences by telephone shall also file a written report in
letter form within 15 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.
